DRUMMERS WE'RE RARE AWAY
BACK In 1893

Drummer boys have held the spot
light in fact and fiction for so many
years it is difficult to conceive that
they were once hard to obtain in
Maryland. Yet the records show
that way back in 1898 there were
virtually no drummers in the ranks
of the unemployed.
The demand for drummers in Bal
timore that year cut such inroads on
Lieutenant Robert Rankin's efforts
to secure recurits in that city, he
had to report to the Marine Corps
Commandant that there was hardly
chance to secure a drummer or
fifer.
This seriously handicapped the
efforts of the lieutenant to secure
enlistments for the newly organized
Marine Corps" says Captain John P.
Mccain, the present recruiting offic-
or for that branch of the service at
Calvert and Fayette Streets in Bal
timore. "In those days drums were
considered a necessary aid in drum
ming up recruits for the military SER
vice. In fact the word drummer,
as applied to travelling statesmen,
owes its origin to this early practice.
In the musty files at Marine Corps
Headquarters is letter from Lieu
tenant Rankin to his chief at Phila-
delphia, written in the peculiar style
of the period, in which he makes
this mild complaint: 81 am sorry to
inform you that can neither enlist
a drummer or fifer in this place, as
they are all engaged to the different
regiments of militia of Baltimore,
and are generally paid by the indi-
vidual company here from two to
three dollars for attending on them
for one evening only"
Flies were popular instruments in
the Marine Corps a century or more
ago, and sea soldiers of the Revolu-
tionary period decorated their drum
heads with coiled rattlesnake and
the words, Don't tread on mel" +,
Trumpets, or bugles, were official
ly adopted by the Navy in 1871, and
thereafter the use of flies rapidly
went out Of fashion. The fife was
definitely abolished by the Marine
Corps in 1881, and was superseded
BY the trumpet. an instrument that
hanks back to the ancient rams
horns used In biblical times.

While fife and drum bands are
often seen in parades of veterans
and other organizations, a fife and
drum corps, called the "Fessenden
Fifes," attached to the Fourth Ma
rines at Changhai, China, is believed
to be the only band of the kind in
any branch of the service today.
Thine has changed so many mil
itary practices that the recruiting
customs of 1898 seem a little abb
surd today" says Captain Mccain.
Nowadays recruits are taught the
use of the drum and trumpet under
skilled instructors at Paris Island,
s. G., where there is certainly no
dearth Of clothing, blankets. food or
else Shey may require"

ELY NAVY MAN :
LOST AT SEA
Jacob o. Maxi, Notified That
His Son, Jalmer, was Miss
ing from Battleship.

It was with shock that Jacob O.
Maxi, who makes his home on the
ground floor of the Opera House build
ing received word by wire that his SON
Jacob Jalmer Maxi, was missed from
the U. s. s. Wright on which he was
chief machinist's mate. Later Mr.. Maxi
received more details.
According to Commander N. H. White
of the Wright, Jalmer, as he was more
Familiarity known in Ely, was missed
from the boat on March S, while the
vessel was making passage from Homo
lulu, Hawaii, to San Diego, California.
The letter, addressed to Mrs. Maxi at
San Diego, further went on to state
that Jalmer was reported missing about
500 o'clock in the afternoon by several
of his mess mates in the chief petty
officers quarters, who, noting his alb
sence at the usual evening meal hour,
became alarmed and reported to Com
mander White. A thorough search of
the ship was conducted Immediately
without results. The missing man was
last seen entering the chief petty officers
sleeping compartment about noon and
was not seen to leave.
A court Of inquiry was convened to
inquire into the disappearance, the re-
suits of which have not reached here
as yet. Commander White further
stated in his letter that Maxi was
highly thought of by his shipmates and
his shipmates on the Sunnadin, on
which boat he served before coming to
the Wright and that the work assigned
him as chief machinist's mate in the
engineering department of this COM
mand was performed cheerfully and
with ability"
The telegram appraising the father
of the missing son was sent by Charles
MAXI, brother who is on duty at
San Diego.
Jacob Jalmer MAXI was born in Ely
on December 26, 1896. He attended
school here and passed through the
eighth grade. He has been in the U.
s. Navy for IA years during which he
served in the World War, 16 months
on transport and three months at the
front.
He is survived by his widow at San
Diego; his father in this city; his
brother, Charles, also in the navy at
