OF the District Of Columbia this year.
This announcement was made by the
division of naval militia affairs OF the
Navy Department during the week
Although the ship on which the mem
hers of the naval militia will cruise has
not yet been named, the program has
been completed. The selection of the
vessel now Is comparatively small mat
ter. The big thing to be looked for by
the naval militia in preparing for the
cruise Is where and when they are going.
The battalion will leave here Sunday y
evening, July 2. aboard one of the
steamers Of the Norfolk and Washington
line and will proceed to Old Point Com
fort, off which the ship will be waiting
for them in Hampton roads. Soon after
the members OF the District and North
Carolina naval militias embark the ship
will weigh anchor and proceed to sea.
July 8, 4 and the vessel will be at
sea, but on the latter date Is scheduled
to arrive at Gardiner bay. where the men
will participate in boat drills and other
tice. They will remain there until July
8. July 9 and 10 will find tho militiamen
at Newport. r. l.. and July 10 and IL
they again will be at GARDENERS bay
shooting at targets.
The vessel. after completing target
practice. will proceed to North river. New
York. where she will anchor. permitting
the ships company to so ashore july IL
and IA July Is and Is they will be at
sea flying the homeward- bound pennant.
The militiamen will return to Washing
ton on the morning OF the 18th.
The U. S. s. Sylvia. training ship OF
the naval militia, Is scheduled to leave
her dock this morning at 10 O'Clock for
cruise down the river At the same
time the small boats of the organiza-
of the river above the Aqueduct bridge
for boat drills. They will be in charge
of Ensign Wilbert E. Itocklin.
with the new four-inch gun recently in
| stalled in the quarters Of the Cd Division.
Preparatory to going on the rifle range
| for target practice the men were taught
tine nomenclature of the rifle.
II probably will be some weeks before
the old steam launch belonging to the
organiza ton will be in condition for Serv-
Ice. Failure to properly care for the
vessel has caused her seams to open, and
| when she was put overheard at the
Washington navy yard recently she near
of the officers Of the yard saved it. The
boat was Immediately hauled out and is
now lying at the navy yard, out of COM
mission. She probably will not be used
| during the summer months.
| The bureau of construction and repair
of the Navy Department held off some
time before assigning a second steam
launch here in the belief that the militia
men would not properly take care OF the
! vessel. Several boats assigned to the
local organization went to ruin through
| lack of care under a previous admins
| tration and the bueau of construction
and repair has kept this in mind when
applications have been made for addi-
tional small boat equipment.

and all except her bottom was replaced

at tho Alexandra shipyard for several
days past. have been completed and the
vessel lowered from the railway. She has
sailed for Occoquan creek to load lumber
for the dealers here. In her place on the
railway the tug John Miller has been
hauled out to make her stern bearing
watertight and for such other minor re-
pairs as she may need
The two-masted bay schooner Florence
A will hardly be recognised when she
, next visits this port. Recently at Balti-
more shipyard tho tall foretopmast OF the
vessel was removed, making her like most
vessels employed in the bay trafic-a

the Florence A. was thoroughly over

Second Brigade in Peril.


The enforced retirement OF tho Sd
Brigade-and to have stayed longer
would have been madness-reproduce
for the I'd Brigade, commanded by Brig.
Gen. Curry, the position of the Sd Bri-
gade itself at the moment of the with
drawal Of the French. Gen. Curry flung
his left flank around. and in the crisis of
this immense struggle held his line OF
trenches from Thursday afternoon until
Sunday afternoon. He did not abandon
them. There were none left. They had
been obliterated by artillery. He with
drew his undefeated troops from the frag-
ments of his field fortifications, and the
hearts Of his men were as completely un-
broken as the parapets Of his trenches
were completely broken.
The Goth Winnipeg Rifles. which
held the extreme left of the brigade
position at the most critical moment,
was expelled from the trenches early
Friday morning by an emission of
quarters of an hour. 1t counter at
tackled, retook the trenches 1t had
abandoned and bayoneted the enemy.
After the Sd Brigade had been forced
to retire Lieut.. Col. Upset. commander
Of the Winnipeg Rifles. held his posi-
ton. though his left was in the air,
until two British regiments filled up
the gap Saturday night.
after a very formidable attack the
enemy captured st. Julien, opening up
a new line of advance. but by this time
further reinforcements had arrived.
Again II became evident that the Sit
uation dictated an offensive movement
as the surest method Of arresting fur
ther progress. Gen. Anderson. com
manding the reinforcements, directed
an advance by British brigade which
had been brought up in support. AS
the troops making IT swept through
the Canadian left and center, many Of
them going to certain death. they
paused for an instant, with deep
throated cheers for Canada, indicating
the warm admiration which the Cana

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

We-my wife and myself-have
been operating a hospital for 20
years. the doors Of which have
been as widely open to the public
as any public hospital I'm the state
We have never received a penny
from any source to help out with
the deficit inevitably incurred In
running hospital under such
conditions. At the time we In
vested this large sum OF money
there was a public necessity for
such an institution: for there was
inadequate hospital facilities not
only In Wheeling. but throughout
all this section OF country.
Now. however. hospitals are
abundant and the necessity for
our existence has apparently van
ished. We do not hesitate 20 say
that a draught OF az least $500 a
month has been made upon my
personal earnings 10 take care Of
this deficit during the 20 years OF
