SOLDIER BEHIND BARS
ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED FAIL
URE TO ATTEND DRILLS.
First Instance Where District Mill
tiaman Has Been Confined I'm
der the New Law.

Private Harry l.. Scruggs. Company
L. 1st Infantry. \. G. d. c., was ar
rested yesterday on warrant OF at
tachment issued by Lieut.. Col. Glendie
B. Young, summary court officer OF the
1st Infantry, and Is held in jail by
the United States until tomorrow, when
he will be tried by summary court
for alleged failure to attend drills and
neglect of military duty This is the
first time member of the local Nation
al Guard has been confined in Jail for
failure to obey the summons to ap-
pear before a summary court. Several
guardsmen have been brought into
court by United States marshals and
carried to the armory in patrol wagons,
but they have been released in every
case.
Private Scruggs. who lives at e41o
appear before a summary court Mapch
4, but the warrant on which he is
now held states that he failed to obey
the summons.
The present militia law, which has been
in force for more than a year, directs
the summary court officers to issue war
rants OF attachment through the United
States marshal in the case OF men who
fail to obey the summons as served on
them, usually by a nOn-commissioned Of
ficer of the guard.
Although there have been many sum-
mary court trials during the last year.
mostly for failure to attend drills. very
few of the men have failed to answer
the first summons served on them, and
no one has SO far failed to pay the fines
imposed upon him when convicted The
usual punishment is 81 or 81 fine, or two
or four days in Jail, for each absence with
out good excuse. The cases are tried UNI
der the articles of war, just as in the
regular army. Men who are absent from
drill because of illness or because OF
having to work are regarded as having
a good and sufficient excuse.

GIFTS TO NATIONAL MUSEUM.
Minerals From Cobalt, Canada, Re
Gently Received.

Among the recent gifts to the National
Museum are a series of minerals from
Cobalt, Ontario, Canada. Those include
specimen of niccolite, which is an ar
senide of nickel and shows the rich me-
tallic luster SO aracteristic of all nickel
ores. Another is a specimen OF brei-
thauptite, and consists of that mineral.
which is a combination Of nickel and
antimony, with strings of native silver
in Il matrix Of calcite. The slender veins
of these two metallic ores wandering
irregular!y through the white limestone
are most attractive. With these there
is also from the same locality speci-
men of the mineral known as smaltite
which in composition is a combination of
cobalt and arsenic 1t has white sill
very appearance and is a good cabinet
specimen.
These minerals are not common and are
valuable additions to the growing collec-
ton of North American minerals which
is one of the most striking exhibits in
the museum.

Rev. DR.. Ulysses G. E. Pierce, min
lister of All Souls Unitarian Church, made
an argument for new church building
for his congregation in an address last

said the present church edfce at 14tn

visiting minister, and more space
should be given to the Sunday school,
which is now crowded He said that, in
his estimation. the holding of paid il
Illustrated lectures in churches and the
use of the church auditorium for the
meetings of church societies is not right
He believes that the church is a place for
worship, and noat public meeting house
He declared that All Souls Church, on
erins itself to allow such usage to con-
tiuue.
The remarks of the minister were re-
ceired with much enthusiasm by the
seventy members of the club in attend
ance. President William B. Todd pre-
Sued and made short address at the
cperirs. OF the speechmaking. when he
outlined the aims and the objects Of
the Unitarian Club. Col. Royal Whit
man also made an address, in which he
