The greatest pleasure to be de-

The War Department has detailed
Sergeants Albert Grimm and Charles
]. Falthentliai, Of the Fifth u. s. In
fatnry, to West Virginia to inspect and
Instruct the National Guards, and will
begin their work at once. This
step IS taken on the part OF the gov
ernment and the time TO be spent n
this State will. he about three years.
Part of the expense, in fact the major
portion, Will have to be borne by the
State OF West Virginia
A critical date In The history Of the
national guard will he January q
next, for thereafter no portion Of the
money appropriated by congress for
the support Of the militia may be paid
to any organization that fails to ccn<
form to the standards Of the regular
army.
The Dick bill Of 1903 originally pre-
scrbed a period Of five years for the
bringing about OF the considerable
changes necessary 10 place the guards
men in uniformity of organization
ana equipment with the regular sol
der. But as the time limit approach
ed 1t was found that very few Of the
states had been able TO conform, so an
extension was granted until January
| 81, 1910.
As the date draws near the officers
of the war department who are direct
| ~ charged with the administration II
the laws governing the relations OF the
department with the militia are taking
stock Of the work accomplished aud
calculating the percentage Of the ma
tional guard as II stands today that
will be thus qualified to retain govern
mental support.
Though its system Of inspection o.
militia organization by regular officers
the war department is in possession Of
some what exact information regard
ing the conditions.
| Next year flor the first time in its
history, the nailiIls, or ms much OF 1t
as remains under the title OF ":he ma

with the latest pattern military rife,
clothed from head to foot in regul ar
army gear, supplied with all the reg

A startling experience recently be-
fell London (England) workman
named Kirkbride. He was at work
on the flooring Of bank in vauxhall
Bridge road, and about ten o'clock in
the morning had occasion to enter
the strongroom to get some materials
While he was inside the door swung
to, locking automatically. and he
found himself prisoner. No one on
the premises had the key, and 1t was
not till six o'clock in the evening that
the architect arrived, in response to
an urgent summons, and released him.
There was little chance Of Kirkbride
getting out in any other manner, for
the strongroom was fitted with a sys-
tenn of lock which has recently been
brought out. and has never yet been
successfully broken open. 1t is an in
genious system which overcomes the
ordinary faulty method of using a
series of small bolts.
