A notice Of the impending celebration
ran thus;
THE members of Washington So
ciety of Alexandria are hereby notified
that a regular stated meeting OF the
said society will be held at Gadsby's
Hotel on Monday. June s, next, at 10
o'clock a. m. The society will move in
procession with such as choose to
gather precisely at IL o'clock to the
Presbyterian Church, where an grafton
will be delivered by one of the mem-
bers, Col. Charles Simmons. The pro-
cession will then return to Gadsby's 9
where the members of the society will
dine with such citizens as are dis
posed to partake, for which purpose a
subscription paper will be lodged at
Gadsby's. BY order
&c. DINEALE, Secretary"
Another paragraph following the
above says there will be no military
pon1p about the celebration because the
want of arms and the disorganized state
of the militia at this time will render
the usual regimental parade impractic-
able. The company of militia will an

signal gun will be fired for the process

RESTORE PENSION
TO OLD MEMBER
OF POLICE FORCE
w. F. Mari Goes Back on
List Originally Appro-
priated for Him.

The Commissioners, at the conclusion
pr a hearing today, ordered that w. F.
Mari, a pensioner Of the Police Depart
ment, be restored to the pension roll at
$50 a month.
Marr's pension was reduced by the
Commissioners from $50 to 81 month.
following consideration of the report of
the Board of Police and Fire Surgeons,
which recently concluded a medical ex-
animation of the pensioners of the Po-
lice and Fire Departments. Their action
was taken on the supposition that he Is
in comfortable financial circumstances.
Affidavits were introduced by the
former policeman to show he is entirely
dependent upon the amount paid him
by the District government, in view Of
which the Commissioners reversed their
decision.
In the case of c. H. willingham, a
retired policeman, whose pension was
reduced from $50 to 81 month, the Com
nfssioners decided to abide by their
original decision. Willingham is en-
ployed by a dairy company at salary
OF s75 a month. u.
The Commissioners reserved decision
in the case OF George H. Burton, a
retired member of the Police Depart
ment, In order to afford him an oppor-
tunity to file a brief setting forth his
arguments for restoration, Burton's
pension was reduced from $40 to 81 a
month. The Commissioners are in
formed that he is employed at a good
salary.
The District pensioners are required
to undergo an examination at the
hands Of the Board of Police and Fire
Surgeons every two years, as the re-
suit Of which the Commissioners are
authorized to determine whether their
pensions shall continue in whole or in
part. or whether increases shall be
granted. Following the recent exam
ination seventeen reductions were Or
dered, twelve in the Police and five in
the Fire Department. The pensions of
three former members of the Fire De-
partment Were increased.

Midshipman Places Cap on
Hartford's Mast, Then
Falls to Deck.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, July e2.-Midship-
man William L. Bullock. jr.. Of Cor

the top OF the old frigate Hartford yes-
tcrdny afternoon. He plunged to the
deck, and his neck was broken.
Bullock. who was admitted to the
academy but six weeks ago, had just
performed a feat which, according &,
academy tradition. established his quail
ifcation to wear midshipman's uni

the mainmast and pierced his cap with
the spike which surmounts its top. Ir
descending he lost his hold and fell.

Says Rev. E. Hez Sven

More than fifty coatless men attended
the services at the Centennial Baptist
Church last night. When the pastor,
the Rev. Hez Sven, took his pulpit he
was coatless.

the pastor. $50 when you come carry

During the sermon the pastor touched
upon the question of hell. While he
did not mention the position of the

said that the Savious himself taught
that there was such a place.

that the reason for that body's action
yesterday in postponing the proposed

they were confident that Governor Foss

The billboard ads may read like that
The era of progress is here, and It
has struck the navy.
No more shall our stalwart marines

in executive council and have pondered
the momentous question of nocturnal
paraphernalia for Uncle Sans marines.
Red tape has been unwound, and II
he's been decried as a shame that our

White Without Frills.
The pajamas, as has been said, are
to be white and each marine will have
a change. Therell be no baby ribbons
and no frills to interfere with the
laundering, but patamas is pajamas
and they're better than the never
minds to which the marine has been
long accustomed.
Before turning in each night the ma
rines will go above deck for the great
disrobing scene. When attired they
will forward march and sing some
thing like this:
I'm a pajama, jana man.;
love my suit and love my land;
! want to sleep always II / can,
Be a paJama, jana man."
And then the captain will come to see
If the suits are spotless and the marines

Is Welcome Change.
The guy who's never been a marine
can't appreciate what the change
means. Since the mind of maidens runs
not to contrary, the marine has been
a natty chap during the daylight.
Strolling down the street In blue serge
or in white duck, he's been the recipi-
ent of more than one admiring glance,
Conscious of this. the marine has
thrown back his shoulders and walked
with proud and elastic step.

For the benefit of those who did not

we notice the following: Iowa gave
70, 900 majority to Kenyon. and Iowa's
member of the National Committee,
E. E. Hart, votes for the seating Of
the Taft delegates. Nebraska voted
for Roosevelt and Victor Rosewater,
of Nebraska, IL helping seat the Taft
delegates. North Dakota voted for
LaFollette and her committeeman,
James Kennedy, Is aiding the standpat
gang. In the news columns of the
same papers we find such paragraphs
as these: "Taft's Alabama delegation
seated. by q vote of So to O." IAN
contests Friday decided for Taft. In all
but two the decision was unanimous"
"Taft's delegates in First Kentucky
District seated by a vote of 46 to o."
I'm Fourth Kentucky District, Roose-
welt forces Withdraw contest" Sin
no case has the full Roosevelt strength
voted against the seating Of Taft del
egates." The inference to be drawn
after reading both the news accounts
of the committees actions and the ed
itorial comment. is that the Roosevelt
people are cussing their representa-
tives for not doing just what they seek
to show the Taft men are doing.
Should the fact that Kenyon carried
Iowa by TO- 900 have changed Mr..
Harris vote on the contests in Arkan-
sasf Because Nebraska voted for
Roosevelt must Victor Roosewater
decide that Roosevel's delegation
sh ould be seated in the Alabama con-
tests, or should James Kennedy be in
! fiuenced by the North Dakota vote on
LaFollette to stand for the seating of
the Roosevelt delegates in Kentucky?
Which shall determine the vote of the
comitte eman-the vote of his wi
state, or the merits of the case under
discussion? Read the news accounts
and YOU can the better read between
the lines of the hot air editorials now
appearing, which seek SO to distort
the facts that the true state of affairs
may be lost sight of by the voters.
The passengers on the evening train
Tuesday were treated to a very in
teresting fistic encounter on the depot
platform at Ravinia between the con
ductor of the train n two passengers
somewhat the worse for liquor. Con-
dutor Anderson exhibited q remarkable
degree of patience. For some time
before the train had reached the sta
tion he was subjected to considerable
abuse, in the midst of which he bore
himself with y very proper dignity.
but, howevermuch he is the official of
the train, he is also q man, and he
would not be q normal, full-bl0oded
human, if continued insults and black
guarding in the presence of both men
and women passengers on the train,
did not finally force him to resent
ment. The law vests the conductor
with full police powers, and quite often
they have ample provocation to make
use of that power, and occasionally the
provocation IL almost irresistible to
administer to q very mush deserved
beating.
