United States Army Officer Finds the New Armory in Satisfactory
 Condition.
MEN PUT THROUGH A DRILL
No Accidents Happen Until After the Examiner Has Gone-First Separate Company
 Reviewed.

For the first time since they have been in the new armory on Orange street the members of Troop A went through an inspection drill last even ing. The inspecting officer was Lieu tenant R. W. Adams of Governors Island, N. Y., and he watched the members of the troop go through various formations under the leader ship of Captain Robert JJ Woodruff. After the review was over he did not express any opinion in regard to the work. but appeared satisfied.
 Lieutenant Adams arrived early in the afternoon and went through everything belonging to the govern ment at the Troop A armory. Supplies which are seldom used were given the most careful examination at the hands of the Inspector, and then he was shown through the quarters.
 Partly because 1t was known that Lieutenant Adams was coming, and partly because 1t was the regular drill night there was large assemblage of 'NtoibNAS ct Aiit NAVVG Sl di lllVts ldSt night The social rooms, the parlor, reading and billiard rooms were filled with people through the early part of the evening.
 After Lieutenant Adams had good Captain Woodruff put the members of the troop through various stunts. One of these was for the men to turn around on their horses by making four jumps, This went smoothly for two jumps, and then two of the men fell off their horses, one narrowly escaping being trampled upon.
 Another interesting feat tried was lying back at full length on the horses in most cases this was done very we'll but one one or two cases the horses baked, spelling the effect When the order was given for the men to stand upright on the horses, several of them got half way up and then fell off onto the floor

The number of tickets will be limited, but owing to the large size of the hall more will be able to obtain admission than last year. The mem- bers of the Grays' company will be expected to wear their full dress mil tary uniforms, and former members now of other companies will be ex- pected to appear in the full service dress of the organization to which they belong

 pr. J. Wilbur Chapman preached his third New Haven sermon last evening at the Church of the Redeemer. He took for his subject. Love" and worked his audience up to a breathless emotionalism with stories of mother love and of touching scenes in connec- tion with the work of the Salvation Army. There was many handker- chief used and many nose sniffed. There was breathless silence most of the time all over the auditorium. It was the appeal personal. Dr. Chapman used every means to accomplish his result One moment in the course of his sermon he was loud, strong, thun- dering. The next moment he was tell- ing of the miseries and degradation of the poor of London and Paris in tone so still that it was almost whis- per. His references to the home and the home ties were many and appeal ing and emotional.
 E pr. Chapman was followed by Wil- liam Asher and his wife, who told of their particular work in the saloons. and of what they intend to do in New Haven. At the close of the service d general call was made for the personal workers to stand in their places and then to pass the so-called decision cards on which everyone in the con- gregation was urged personally to sign his name as being willing to join some local church.
 The church was not as well filled as it had been the night before. The con- gregation was made up in great part of women, showing that the effect of the revival has first had its results with them. The representative of this paper was able to see the pews well in the front of tn church from where he sat last evening, and in the first seven pews in front of pr. Chapman, as he preached, on the left of the center aisle, there were thirty-six persons seated, of whom but six were men. All the rest were women.
 The singing was of excellent quality. It must be said in justice to the Chap man evangelists that they have shown quite generally all over the city that they are capable of making church congregations sing as they have never done before in years. Dr. Chapman's

Town for Exclusive Fifty.

Fifty of Seattle's wealthiest citi-
zens, who are also leaders in the
club and social life of the city, have
begun the erection of an ideal
residence city on the shore of Puget
Sound. Membership is limited to
fifty and the initiation fee is placed
at $2500. The organization will
own its water, Lighting and other
public utility systems. According
to the statement of Vice-President
H. w. Treat, the builders of the
town propose to have the kind of
neighbors they want and no others
1t will be difficult, he says, to get
into the organization, and it will be
impossible for a member to sell his
membership without the consent Of
the others.

Railroad Land Grants.

A. w. Lafferty, the we'll known
attorney of Portland sends us the
following in regard to the railroad
land grants:
Right now is the time for any
one honestly desiring to make
home out of 100 acres of the O. &
c. railroad grant lands to move on
to the same. The government suit
will be filed in about two weeks,
claiming a forfeiture to the United
States, and it will then be too late
for anyone to settle under the orig
'inal Acts of Congress, providing for
the sale of the lands to actual set
tiers at $3.50 per acre, by the rail
road. But the government cannot
get decree forfeiting to the United
States any particular 100 acres that
may be settled on in good faith
prior to the date the government
shall file its suit. On the other
hand the government is bound to
establish the right of the settler to
have such tract of land, providing
the government shall win its suit.
ANY persons who will make set
tlement before the government suit
shall be filed will win, if the gov
ernment wins, and will lose if the
government loses Any poor man
who really wants home can afford
to take the chance. But no person
simply expecting to make a pretence
of settlement, without actually in
tending to appropriate the land as a
real home, should make the attempt,
for he would be acting dishonesty
if he did.
THE application to purchase
these made by persons not actually
settled on the land amount to moth
ing whatever"
