RAPs CULPEPER CAMP.
Assistant Inspector General Stern
Criticizes Work of Soldiers and
Railroad Service, Too.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 7.-Colonel 10
Lane Stern, the assistant inspector gen.
eral OF the State militia, uses some
plain language in his official report OF
The First Brigade encampment at Gull
pepper, and does not hesitate TO ad-
minister reproor where he thinks 1t
necessary.
He starts ont by saying that tine
Cuipeper ground is not suited for camp
purposes, rs it is hilly and lacking in
shade and in bad weather develops
muddy spots.
Colonel Stern complains CT the slow.
ness with which the First Battalion OF
the First Regiment detrained-it took
seven minutes the officers and
men got out OF the cars in slipshod
ashton. The unloading Of stores under
the direction of the battalion quarter
master and commissary was also very
slow and the men fused and shlrked
their duty. Moreover, tue cars were
dirty and no effort was made to clean
them. Other companies of the First
are said to have detrained and I'M
loaded satisfactorily.
The Second Regiment, according to
Colonel Stern, detrained satisfactorily,
but that OF the Fourth was broken into
Nv the backing OF the train.
The assistant inspector general says
the handling OF the troops by the rail
road was most unsatisfactory in many
gays, and that the management at Gull
GER station could not have been worse.
Colonel Stern, alluding to conditions
It the camp, says:
1.-The officers and men generally
,howed great anxiety to learn how to
keep the camp clean and free from
unsanitary conditions, but it is unfort'
unately true that quite large percen-
age of men in every walk OF life are
unable to see dirt and trash, have not
been educated up to looking for it. ana
have 10 be taught like children"
While the squad, company and bat
TALON drills improved, Colonel Stern Is
convinced that the evolutions by regl-
ments we're hardly worth the time con-
sumed with them. The First Regiment
parades we're fair, the Second not good
end the Fourth quite good.

that a policeman was sent there and
the dog was released. Rover. in his
efforts to reconcile himself to his i'm
prisonment, had eaten most of Bel

the shop to a condition of unprecedent-
ed disorder.
One of the girls in the telephone ex-

board early when a call came from
the Beliotti telephone.
"Hello." she said.
There was no human response, but
she heard coming over the wire a
whining and snarling noise, and at in
tervals. the sound of things falling.
Once she thought she heard human
being pleading for mercy. and imme-
diately afterward came a gurglina
sound The uncanny noises worked
on her nerves. and she called up po-
