COMPANY NJ NOTES.
Proportion Of Perfect Attendance Of
Men in Organization is Large.

Company NJ, I'd Infantry. will hold
it's first regular drill for the month of
May this evening at City hail. This IS
the first drill under the new captain,
and the men are all interested to see
how Captain Bagley will handle the
company in the various drills AS the
hall is in use the first OF the evening
for the school meeting, it is expected
that there will be quite a little audi
ence to watch the drilling. Consider
able interest is being shown through
the city in the company. especially
since the organization of the new Au-
gusta Rifle Club, which uses the regu-
lar Springfield rifle in all it's shooting,
the rifle having a 22-sub- calibre bar
rel fitted for the indoor work, and the
regular 36-calibre rifle used on the
outdoor range, using therefore the
same rifle that the militia does in all
its competitive shoots.
One of the neatest medals worn by
the members of the National Guard,
and in a sense one of the hardest to
win. is the Perfect Attendance medal
Any member Of the militia who has
had absolutely perfect attendance, for
a calendar year, at every company
| drill, practice march. encampment etc.
at which the, company turns out. is
entitled to thfs medal for the first
year, and a bar for each additional
year Several members of Co NJ all
ready have the medals. and two have
bars showing additional! years attend
ance.
| For the first four months of this
year, 16 members of Co. M have quail
! fled for these much sought medals,
among them being the following:
| Lieutenants Miles Trembiay ana Fred
S Rand: Sergeants Harlan Reyes.
Jesse Lewis. Percy Thyng and Clar-
ence Hallett; Corporals Fred Perley
and Waldo Metcaf; Cook Alton Will
| liams: Musician Thomas Freeman;
| and Privates Joseph Barrett, Henry
| Kirllwood. Perley Michaud, Charles
Nichols. and Clarence Williams. Eight
| members Of the company succeeded in
getting the medals or bars for 1908,
| and it looks now as if that number.
| which was then thought to be quite 4
| large per cent, would be increased
| this year.
A meeting of the company is to be
| held before the drill, at which will be
decided as to a complimentary ban
| quet which it is proposed that the
| company will hold at one of the local
hotels

have tried at different times about
every laxative and cathartic known.

written voluminous report of his

NOT TO MEET ABRUzzI.
Senator EIkIns Says Heart Affection
is Cause of Daughters European
Trjp,

Washington, June Ex-senator FL
kins laughs at the suggestion that
his daughter. Miss Katherine, is going
to Europe to meet the duke of the
Abruzzi. He said the young woman
had for some time had slight heart
affection, which is always materially
augmented by heat and that her ply
stefan had directed that upon the ap-
proach of hot weather she should i'm
mediately betake herself to the cooler
zones of the European continent
Miss Elkins will be accompanied by
her mother and both will leave when
ever the temperature here becomes
too high for them. They probably will
make a brief visit to West Virginia
before beginning their foreign journey.
The senator added that the duke was
still engaged in his mountain explora-
tons and probably would not return
to Europe during the stay there of his
wife and daughter.

RUSS WAR CRAFT FIRES
UPON BRITISH STEAMER
Nervousness Of slavs In Protecting
Gar In His Meeting with Kaiser
Accounts for Shot.

st. Petersburg, June 18.-Diplomatic
circles of Russia to-day entered into
an investigation of the firing upon
British steamer by Russian tor
pedo boat near Pitkipas bay. Interna-
tional complications were feared, but
the act of the Russian seamen is laid
to nervousness for the emperor's
safety.
A British steamer was fired upon by
a Russian torpedo boat for approach
ing too close to the bay on the Fin
nish coast where Emperor Nicholas
and Emperor William met.
The British steamer in question is
the Northburg, Capt Robertson. She
was hailed and fired upon of Wiro-
lahti. Island of Biorke. The projectile
from the torpedo boat pierced steam
pipe, and one member of the crew OF
the English vessel was wounded. The
incident shows the extreme nervous
ness for the safety of Emperor Nicho-
las, even at sea.
Russian torpedo boats patrolled Pit
kipas bay. and it was one of these
guard vessels that fired on the British
ship.

an Investigation.

New York, June 19.-The report
that drunkenness prevails among the
pupils in the Bayonne, N. j., public
schools has been verified, despite the
denials Of the city officials, by spe-
