The harem skirt came to Logan the
other day and there were many rub
bernecks on the streets looking at
the new tangled attire. Whether the
new dress will supplant the symetri-
cal outlines of the old but fashionable
skirt, time will tell-we hardly think
it will, but fashion springs some aw-
full things upon the suffering public
at times. From the standpoint of
cleanliness it may be the proper
thing as the new garment will not
drag in the dust nor will windy
day affect the wearer. At least, 1t Is
a great Improvement on the old fash.

CHINESE WOMAN TELLS

brilliant audience. composed of members

audience with her simple recital of con-
ditions in the Celestial Kingdom
Result of Uprising.
"It was the Boxer rebellion, in spite OF
the horrors attending il, that awoke the
people OF my country" Mrs. Kin said.
The people realized as never before that
the foreigners had come to stay and
to teach Western methods and customs
During the last ten years China has ad-
vanced more than in the twenty-five pre-
ceding years, and is continuing on her
triumphant course of enlightenment
DR.. Kin stated that the people OF the
northern provinces were the real hope of

Of the southern portion of the empire.

SMART SET AT DRILL
Feats OF Equestrian Skill
Win Applause.
BRoADswoRD EVENT FEATURE
With Snbers Drawn, Troopers Charge
Into Ring and Fence on Spirited
airy Keeps Perfect Time with Band
Music-Giv@ Spectacular Drill.

Feats of equestrian skill and daring
were witnessed by more than 1900 per
sons, representing Washington's best So
ciety. in the post drill hall at Fort Myer,
Va, yesterday afternoon, when Troops A,
B, and C gave exhibition drills.
The tiers of seats surrounding the tan
bark covered ring f1aunted the gayest of
colors, and the applause of hundreds of
the fair sex was the reward of the dar-
ing riders.
The first event of the day was a Cos
sack ride by Troop c. Capt H. c. Smith
er commanding. The troopers dashed
into the ring, ! riding with blankets in
place of saddles and halters in place of
brides. They went through a series of
-aYe-compel!ing maneuvers, rivaling in
daring the Cossack riders of the Russian
steppes.
Charge with Sabers.
An exhibition new to many Washing
tonians, which was given yesterday, was
the broadsword drill, which approaches
close to actual battle. A detachment Of
Troop B, commanded by Lieut.. w. W.
Overton, charged into the ring with
SGlDClS IllulilS lIOUl OppOSlle Slu6S
of the ring two parties clashed in the
center, and sparks flew from the ring
ing sabers. The troopers fenced for sew
ersl minutes and then retired in response
to bugle call.
Battery F, of the Third Field Artillery
under command of Capt. Brooke Payne,
executed an artillery drill and won
rounds Of applause. The heavy gun car
riageS were drawn into the ring by spir-
tied animate, which wheeled the cannon
into position where, with incredible
swiftness, they were prepared for in
stant action. At a signal from Capt.
Payne, the guns were swung around and
coupled up again. and after going
through several more evolutions, were
drawn out of the ring.
Gives Spectacular Drill.
Spectacular in the extreme was the drill
known as running at head" A detach-
ment of Troop c. commanded by Capt.
Warren Bean, went through the drill 1t
consisted of the troopers riding at an
effigy of a mans head swinging from
support and slashing at it with their
sabers. The swinging object often proves
elusive to the man mounted on a swiftly
moving horse. The troopers first ride
at the head at a trot and later at a full
gallop.
With Capt. Julian R. Lindsey blowing
the whistle which directs the movements
of the men and horses, Troop A, of the
Fifteenth Cavalry, known the world over
as the Black Horse Cavalry. dashed into
the ring to execute the musical drill.
Keeping perfect time with the martial
strains of the Fifteenth Cavalry Band,
the horses walked, trotted. galloped,
pirouetted and caracoled, to the manifest
delight OF the audience. The final thrill
of the day came when, with a wild yell.
the troop dashed across the ring at full
galIop with sabers drawn, checking their
animals within a yard of the barrier.

moved and taken to Mr.. Larner, who
placed it at the disposal of the board ct
trustees of the university The board
turned it over to Prof. Richard Cobb,
secretary Of the university, with insruc-
| tions to open the box. examine its con-
tents, and make a catalogue of them.
Yellow with Age.
Thirty papers, covered with mold and
dust and yellow with age, of varied
character and date, were found to be
the contents of the box when it was
opened by Prof Cobb. Newspapers and
magazines of the period and catalogues
and announcements of the school, of
various dates. were among them. The
Oldest document is one of the original
announcements of the university, pub
lished in 1871. There were other school
publications, ranging in date from 1925 to
1888. Several copies of newspapers-one
being the National Republican, a fore
most newspaper of the Capital in those
days-were among the papers. The news
papers were yellow from the effects of
time, but the printing could be read with
out difficulty. The sheets had to be care
fully handled to prevent tearing. A full
versity for the year 1888 was among the
papers.
On the margin OF a Congressional Rec
ord of 1883, with ink faded almost to
illegibility. appears the signature of W.
W. Corcoran, founder of the Corcoran
Art Gallery, who. at that time, was
the chairman of the board of trustees
of the university, then the Columbian

My most vivid recollection of the &C.

mystery. It is hung in staple, and is
heavily corroded. The reason for its
inclusion with the documents in the box
is aNmatter of conjecture. 1t was un-
doubtedly put there for some purpose,
but. although the records have been
carefully searched no mention of the
ring and staple has been discovered.

The ring is about two inches in

The architect of the building which
has just been demolished was w. NJ.
POindeXter. He was at that time pro-
fessor of architecture of the university.
Mr.. POindeXter designed the two large
terra-cotta panels which were set in the
Fifteenth street facade of the building
and the numerous plaster casts which
stood in the halls.
The terra-cOtta casts represented

tanned for the present by Mr. Wood
