LEFT FOR GETTYSBURG.

Forty members of the Alexandria
Light Infantry Company G, First Vir-
ginia regiment) in command OF Capt:
F L. Slaymaker and Lieuts. Carroll
H. May and Arthur Herbert, assembled
at the 'armory on south Royal street
late last night, and shortly after mid
night marched to the Union station,
where they boarded a special train bear
ing the Virginia volunteer militia to
Gettysburg, Pa, where they will go in
to camp for ten days. The Alexandria
company was accompanied by Mai.
James E. King, First Lieut.. and Adit.
S. A. Howard, Second Lieut.. Quarter
master L. n. Duffey and Sergt. Maj.
r. C. Talbot.
Virginia sent three regiments-the
First, Second and Fourth-a field bat
terry and the Richmond Blues. The
brigade staff OF the Virginia National
Guard also went to Gettysburg.
The War Department has made every
provision for the health and comfort of
the troops. 1t went to the trouble and
expense Of building a temporary pump
ing station, SO that the camp may be
plentifuIly supplied with water for
drinking, cooking and bathing pur-
poses. Temporary mains extend
through each separate camp and there
are ample facilities for shower baths.
There will be three periods Of in
structions-the first from Jnly to 9,
the second from July 10 to II and the
third from July Is to 81.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The proclamation Of Mayor Paff con-
corning the proper celebration OF the
Fourth OF July will be found elsewhere
in the Gazette. 1t is written more IN
n suggestive than q mandatory VEN,
although it is clear that it is his pur-
pose, as much as possible, to have the
laws obeycd. 1t is hoped that it Will
be read carefully, and, as law abiding
citizens, all will unite with his honor
and the organizations representing the
good sense Of the community, SO that
independence Day may be observed III
manner neither offensive nor dan,
gerous to any, In the large cities 0!
the country the strong arm OF the Ia"
has been brought into requisltion to
put stop to explosions in the streets
on next Monday, while the newspapers
have for months been endeavorlng to
educate the people on lines which in
future will not make the Fourth OF
july a day to be dreaded by so many.
A contemporary which has advocated
a safe and sane observance OF lndcpen-
dence Day for years calls attention to
the fact that thousands of our fore
fathers laid down their lives in the
cause Of liberty, while many more
carried empty sleeves and hobbled on
wooden legs after the close OF the
revolutionary war. Annually for over
a century and q third members OF each
succeeding generation have been killed
and wounded in celebrating the
Declaration OF Independence, and,
were correct figures obtained, it could
be shown that more people have been
killed and injured in celebrating the
Fourth Of July than all the casualties
i'm the American and British armies
during the seven years conflict. 1t Is
time we were calling Il halt.

gree team of Alexandria Council con-

SWARMS OF MAYFLIES.

Mayhies seem disposed to spend the
summer with us They are generally
scarce at this time of the year, but few
being found after the beginning Of June,
but this year clouds have been settling
over this city every warm night during
the past two months. Millions Of these
insects have surrounded the street
lights and globes in front of stores
every night this week, while myriads
have faIleu on the vitritied bricks at
street intersections to be troddcn to
death. Could all have been collected
this morning they would have filed
several barrels.

Affairs at Beverly.

Beverly, Mass, July 1.-The summer
capital today is gradually recovering its
equilibrium after having had in its
midst for two hours and half yester-
day not only hepresident OF the United
States, but the author OF My Policies. .
Just what happened is known to only
two men and they won't tell. Certain
ly there was no complete endorsement
of the Taft administration, or the fact
would have been quickly made public
by the Taft forces. 1t was social call,
the participants stated.
One thing, however, is practically
certain. There was an agreement on the
Hughes direct primary in New York.
That they agreed on Pinchot or Balm
ger or the way Roosevelt policies"
have been treated since March 4, 1907
is uncertain, In view of the stand
which Roosevelt has taken on conser-
walton, it is doubtful whether that deli
cate subject was preached.
There will probably be no further
meeting between the two in the near
future. This was stated directly by
Roosevelt when he left. There was a
rumor that the Longsworth home on
the North shore would shelter the
colonel for a period, in order to per,
NIT OF several conferences with the
President, but this was emphatically de.
MED Mr.. Roosevelt stated that today
he would visit Supreme Court Justice
Moody at a Boston sanitarium, and
then return to New York.

CHASED BY A HORSE INTO A
STORE,

Evidently rcscnting the endeavor OF
pedestrian to bar its flight, a runaway
horse hitchcd to wagon of the Ricl-
mond Company yesterday struck
viciously at the man, who turned and
fled. The maddcded animal followed
with apparent evil intentions.
The man ducked into the jewelry
store Of J. S. Schumann flung himself
on the floor behind the counter. A
crash followed as the Infatuated horse
smashed his way through Ia large platca
glass show window and bounded into
the stole, where it fell, severely cut
about the neck and body and gushing
blood. The badly frightened man
escaped in the crowd without his iden-
tity being learned.

SPAIN AND THE VATICAN.

The Roman Catholic agitation
against the measure relating to relig
ious congregations and the federation
of non Catholics has caused the Span
ish government to issue an unusual
warming to the Vatican and the papa
nuncio at Madrid.
In a statement issued to the news
papers the government assures it,
opponents that it will not be influenced
by their demonstrations beyond taking
steps to keep them in check. 1t re,
marks upon the attitude maintained
by ex-Premicr Mauer and conserva-
tivcs generally toward the governments
policy.
1t adds that the danger, however,
lies in the possibility that, seeing the
practical usclessness of the campaign,
its authors, who, in the governments
view are the curla and the papal
nuncio, may be tempted to resort to
other measures which would compel
the government to abandon the toler-
ant attitude it has adopted.
The statement adds that the at
tacks of foreign newspapers, some Of
which are even directed against the
kings person, and the yelled threats
Of prelates create this danger.
Dispatches from all parts of the
country show increasing vchemence
in the clerical and anti-clerical CAM
paigns. The republicans and social
lists have organized demonstration
to be held in Madrid Sunday, in sup
port of The emancipation of the Span
ish conscience and the supremacy of
the civil power"
