THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EVER
SCHOOL OF INSTRUCTION OF
THE MOST, SUCCESSFUL EVER
HEEDl.IS OLD. DOMINION.

Camp Marye," Near Fredericks-
burg, Va, June 6.-The School of an,
for officers came, tor an end
last night when General ]. Thomp-
Son Brown, of RICHMOND, late cap
tain Of artillery in the Confederate
service, lectured on the second battle
of Fredericksburg, in which he took
part. After the lecture the officers at
tended a dance given by the Asso-
citation for the Preservation of Vir-
ginia Antiquities of Fredericksburg.
The excellent location and condi-
ton fthe camp is indicated by the
fact that no illness of any kind has
occurre1. Not even a single acct
dent has claimed the attention of the
surgeon on duty.
Cold weather has caused many off,
GERS to regret that winter clothes and
uniforms were not brought to camp.
Army officers on duty unite in say
ing that the school is most successful
and that the Virginia officers are both
intelligent and efficient.
An incident which indicates that
the war department is earnestly pre-
pairing for hostilities took place when
Captain Ship, the, senior instructor,
assembled all the student officers to-
gether with General Sale and Major
Vaughan and explained to the Irthe
orders prepared by the war depart
ment to be sent out as soon as tn
president issues a proclamation of
wiar. This order urges all officers
and enlisted men to prepare for q
long foreign service ana to arrange
business affairs for an indefinite abb
sence from home. 1t also points out
that all who fail to respond to the call
will be tried by court-rlartial.
Official notice has been received
that the maneuver near Washington,
scheduled for August, has been called
off. The war department has, how
ever, notified the acknowledgement Of
Virginia that maneuver camp vii
be held in Virginia and that the troops
of Maryland and West Virginia will
encamp with the Virginia troops.
The camp site has not yet been Sc
lected but it is probable that it will
be near either Charlottesville, Manas-
sas or Winchester. About 5000 men
will be in the maneuver camp.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune says: "Within the next
nine months the administration may
be forced to issue bonds to obtain
money to keep the wheels of govern
ment in motion. The Treasury re-
ceipts, particularly those that are de-
rived from customs are falling Off
at an alarming rate. On the other
hanl, expenses are increasing by
leaps and bounds. Further, the sur
plus that the Democrats found in
the Treasury when they came into
control on March 4, 1913, has beer
cut by more than S4O,00O,000. Adj
ministration leaders are hopeful that
the returns from the income tax law
will help them out.

sort of thing. has left Stanton. And

"easy money"
Among those who went to Ruth
for advice not obtainable from ordi-
nary sources, was Mary Brown, who
had some money in the bank and some
property left to her by her husband,
Mary believed that when her hus-
bard died he eft in hiding more
money which the wife thought she
caght to have.
So she went to the wonder worker
i is alleged, and to the mysterious
person confided the belief that some
where about her property a good
sum was concealed. Thereupon Ruth
tol1 Mary that she had the only
system for recovering hidden treas
ures, and she told Mary, too, it is
alleged, that $500 must be put up to
secure results.
The 5000 was not fee, however
The money was to be used simply to
attract the other money that was
supposed to be hidden away some,
where around Mary's house. Mary
got the 5000 from the bank, and turn
cd it over to Ruth, it is said. In
plain view the seeress wrapped the
money up in paper and hid it away
telling Mary not to touch it until
after three dayse, when she was tc
unwrap the package and find all OF
the cash intact and with it written
Instructions as to the whereabouts
of the treasure.
On Sunday, the three days having
expired, Mary unwrapped the paper
Within she found one dollar bill

1t is interesting to watch the men
at work on the new track
bridge which the Maine Central is
building across the Kennebec river. es-
pecially those working on the crib
work which is put up preparatory to
laying the steel work from pier TO pier,
but the apparent unconcern with
which they travel around over the
timbers high above the water and
rocks in the river furnishes a rather
thrilling spectacle to people inclined
to be nervous. For instance, one man
was seen Monday afternoon to climb
the big boom of the derrick used in
handling the timbers used in the crib
work and after reaching the upper
end let himself down by the rope OF
the hosting tackle to timber that
had been placed on top of the crib.
After completing a bit of work he
had to do there he hauled himself up
hand over hand on the rope until he
reached the end of the boom, and af-
ter climbing upon it assume an up
right position and walk down the
boom to the base of the derrick, all
of which goes to show that it Is not
necessary to go to circus to see
some hair-ligting stunts pulled on.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Great London Shows.

Something out of the ordinary" is
a remark that can properly be made
of Howe's London Shows Consolidated
which will exhibit in Augusta Monday,
July 27.
The big circus has a reputation for
producing remarkable surprises in its
arena until the public has learned
that it can attend an exhibition of the
Great London Circus expecting to see
something new and different.
There is an unusual number of fea-
lures with this show this season. 1t
is difficult to pick the best. Some
will like the trained will beasts ex-
hibition or horse wonders. Others
will prefer the Zanfretta family,
Meredith Troupe, the Riding Low
andes. the Glasgow Royal Horses. the
Elite Troupe, while some will spend
most of their time laughing at the
host of clowns, listening to the Julius
Winslow famous band. enjoying the
races. admiring the animals or petting
the beautiful Dublin Prize Horses. No
matter which way one looks while
under any one of the Howe tents, he
is sure to see something out of the or
dinary.-Ady
