ENCAMPMENT NOTES.

The spiritual side of camp life is
looked after by Rev. William Page
Dame, chaplain of the Fifth Regiment,
and Rev. William D. Gould, chaplain
of the Fourth. The former is rector
of StBartholomew's Episcopal Church,
Baltimore, and the latter is rector of
St. Marks Episcopal Church, of the
same city. Daily services are con-
Quoted.
Many persons remarked the we'll
kept grounds and the neat and clean
ly appearance of the tents.
The men in camp numbered about
1000, including officers and privateS.
The often-reported publication in the
daily papers that the soldiers would
have nothing to do but work frighten-
ed a great many members Of the mi
litia, and they concluded to spend
their vacation in some other manner.
The provost guard was kept busy
Sunday and Monday nights, but after
that things quieted down and the boys
got back to camp early. They were
supposed to be in camp by $50.
Major Walter V. Shipley, chief COIN
missary, was probably the busiest
man in camp. Dealing out grub to
1000 hungry men is no easy task.
The health of the soldiers has been
excellent. Only a few cases were
treated at the camp hospital, and
these were for minor ailments.
Capt E. H. H. Stesch, commanding
Company l., was summoned home on
Tuesday by the death of his wife, VINO
died suddenly. He had been expect
ing her at camp and the message an
shock to him.
Capt John W. Weigle, of Company
H, First Infantry, of this city, had
severe attack of acute Indigestion
while in the drill field Wednesday
morning. He was taken to the field
hospital, but soon recovered.
A dance in honor of Troop A, OF
the Maryland National Guard, was
given Wednesday evening by the
ladies of Winchester Place. Officers
from other commands were also pres
ent, and a number of town people.
John J. Hesson, this city, was elect
ed second lieutenant of Company H,
First Infantry
Miss Lillian Fink gave a dance
Tuesday night in honor of Miss Mar
celene Pue and Miss Elizabeth Pue,
who are her guests, and Mrs. John
E. Rittenhouse, wife of Captain Rit-
tenhouse, of Company l, Fourth In
fantry
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of Westminster printed
and circulated a very handsome cir
cular setting forth the attractions OF
this city, both as business and a
residence town.
Thursday was devoted to sham
battle, and there was to be another
today, but it began to rain early in
the morning and will probably con-
tinue most of the day. There will
probably be some skirmishing tomor-
row morning, winding up with the pa
rade through the city.
The entire brigade will parade
through Westminster tomorrow, Sat
urday, at noon, and return to camp.
The encampment will break up Sun
day.
The eating stands along the road
to the camp did land-office business.
Candy, cakes, ice cream, bananas,
water melons and other dei1cacles
were sold about as fast as they could
be handed out
The concert to General Riggs was
given by the First Regiment band,
and not by the Fourth, as publ1shed
in the Baltimore papers. Credit 10

Wednesday afternoon there was a
game with the Chesterfelds, of Bal
timore, which came near being shut
out owing to the fine tWirling of Reitz,
who allowed but hits, and who also
showed up well at the bat, making a
homer, a two bagger and a single. In
the seventh inning, with the bases full
and none down, he kept his opponents
from scoring. Haley made 2 home

Westminster fans must have
thoroughly enjoyed themselves this
week. There was a game every after
noon, and Tuesday there was a double
header. There will be two games
again this afternoon.
Monday there was a game with the
regulars Of Troop A, the latter being
defeated by score of IL to 3.
Tuesday a team from the Fourth
Regiment was sut out, 10 to 0. The
boys were in good shape after this
preliminary warming up and took
one from Catonsville, 13 to 5. The
home team did great work at the bat
in this game. and the fielding was of
high order on both sides, only 8
errors being made.
The feature of the game were Spen-
GERS homer, with the bases full, and
Montell's great work at short in two
fine double plays. Campbell pitched
well, keeping his hits we'll scattered.
Brown pitched well, too, and made
a homer and single out of two times
up. Haley made four singles out of

for Her Sex.

Neglect or improper treatment of
woman's ills almost inevitably leads 10

a tonic as DR. Williams Pink Pills
They are especially adapted for girls

One Of the Former May Sur
yiye Wounds
VENGEANCE WAS SWORN
Italy by the would-be Assassination on
Occasion of Some Past Trouble.
Emptied Revolver from Brook
Ign Doorway.

New York, Sept. la-In an effort to
assassinate two men, a third stood in
the doorway Of % Carroll street, Brook
Ign, yesterday morning and emptied his
revolver, wounding both men and a wo.
man.
Joseph Gala Of 54l Henry street and
Charles Tallsgama Of l4S North 9th
street were the intended victims. Gala
fell with bullet in his thigh at the
first shot and then Tallagrama pitched
forward as a bullet hit his forehead, As
the man continued to fire, Mrs. Lucy
Craddo, who was standing at the win.
dow Of her home. was shot through the
thigh. The man calmly placed his re.
volver in his pocket and walked of.
DR.. Engle came in an ambulance from
the Long Island college hospital He
placed the two men in has vehicle ana
was about to hurry of when someone
discovered the unconscious Mrs Craddo.
She, too, was put IN the ambulance She
was bleeding to death, and the doctor
applied a tourniquet while the ambulance
was rattling over the rough pavements.
At the hospital 1t was found that Mrs
Craddo and Tallagrama we're both prob.
ably mortally wounded. Calais wound
is also serious.
From Gala the police obtained the
name Of Salvatore MOTTO Of 81 Carroll
street. Gala said that he, MOTTO and
Tallauama had come to this country
together from Italy. I'VE had trouble
with Motto in Italy, be said, and he
swore vengeance on us.
Tallarama and / were walking
through Carroll street after visiting
friends, and were shot down without
warning"
Mrs. Craddo is an old woman. She
did not know either Gala or Tallagrana,
and was simply the victim Of a wild
shot.

WHY FARMERS FAIL.
Secret Of Success Not In the Business,
but In Themselves.

Secret Of Success Not In the Business,
but In Themselves.
Did you ever think about the num-
Der Of people that fail not only as
farmers, but at everything? Many fail
even 20 make good living They plod
along IN a hand to mouth sort Of way
and never realize the satisfaction u
a successful life.
These people put al the blame on
the business instead Of upon them
selves They say farming doesn't pay,
corn doesn't pay. and wheat doesn't
pay. and fine stock breeding doesn't
pay. 10 hear them tell II. nothing
pays, and yet we see ell over the eoun-
try farmers here and there who have
grown well to do In these lines.
The secret Of success must be sought
not Ia the business, but ii ourselves
Any business VIII pay II Il has the
right sort Of man back Of It.
No man can succeed without study
ing success and meeting its conditions
If you are a farmer you must study
the business Of farming to make much
out Of 1t, That does not mean that
you are Obliged to know an the sci-
ence Of agriculture. though that would
help. You must learn how to make
every lick count and not lose your time
and money In doing work that viii
not pay.
one Of the things that VIII not pay
Is to work poor land II takes Just as
much time aud labor as the working Of
rich land, but, oh, the difference 10 re-
sultsl There IL where you come out
at the little end Of the horn when you
work poor land
Improve your land at once or sell
out and buy smaller piece of good
land. There Is no sense in working
land that brings nothing but nubbins
when you can do better. II you can't
do better, haul rich dirt from the
woods all winter and cover the land
with #. 1t viii pay you to do so.
When we think about our business
as we should IT is not hard to see wig
we fail and also to see how we could
succeed Too many people don't want
to pay the price Of success which
comes in a close application to bust
ness. They don't know that II they
once get absorbed in their work and
push 1t with power they viii be much
happier than 1t Is possible to be By
dragging on In the old incident way.
Suppose we turn over new leaf for
ono year and see how we come out.
BY that time we shall probably sue
coed SO well that we will never want
to do otherwise.
