nant any othor t-t. time. In his pare of At horse given to kicking he hits the wig. com to pass from one sido to the under the animal's n.n.neck, Ite is great in the inidst of a huge pile of unblacked boots Just before inspection and pula a shine oh the buckles and bit of a bridle that requires an inspecting onicor to uso a smoked glass as a procautionary m-m-mensure against injury to his oyes. Not willing to compromise his dignity by joining Gussie on the after occasion at the officers dinner tnble he "works" the commissary setReant for a conspicuous place in the general mess tont after the boys have deparled from their m-m-meals.

At meal time ns well as all others he is the s-g-surest man in camp to take care of n-n-cumber one. and of others whom he is undor obligations to look after. Itis services in tho guard are of long standing. Ito understands well the duties of his post and but for his conspicuous nbsence at the 1fomestend outing would be wearing numerous veteran stripes for continuous s-3-service for nearly a decado. In the twilight of the ovening after a solid day's work he delights to be tho central liguro of a groupo of vocalists in camp.

llo is popular with the boys, and never com. promises tho dignity of his important placo by stepping over the line of p-p- propriety. John's counterpart, Gussie l'lowden, is growing into usefulness so rapidly that ho will shortly be one of the pensable adjuncts of the Troop in camp also. As a table waiter tor the onlcors' iness he ranks high, except when ho forgets himsolf and meanders out of calling distance. Ho takes a hand at shoc blacking, but is in the midst of his most enjoyuble environments when surrounded by soiled underclothing with plenty of soap and water near at hand, and five cents for each piece awaiting tho ending of the cleansing process.

llo is polite AS 8 graduate from a school of courtesy, though every lime he doffs his hat he betrays a lack of curled hair, where at an earlier ago it was wont to grow in profusion. He is a good dishwasher, and all ho needs is plenty of time to work up a complete job in that line. The reason why ho fails to write letters to his Nancy at home is because he never uses anything but gilt-edged paper for that purpose, an article cannot be procured in camp. Gussie is a wonderfully useful young man, and but for his faults would be one of the most perfect coons 011 camp occasions ty be found within the borders of the commonwealth. An Aluminum N.

G. V'. Cup, Through the kindness of Captain A. E. Hunt of Battery 13, N.

G. the Herald is in possession of a cup made from aluminum. It is 84 substantial piece of ware made without scum, and will not tarnish, rust or discolor. It is polished outside and unpolished inside. The polisbed surface has the appearance of tin and it is claimed for it that to be kept clean is all that is necessary to retain the polish same as when leaving the fuctory.

Captain Hunt is 81 experienced analytical chemist, and is interested largely in the manufacture of wares of various kinds from aluminum, a metal that is rapidly coming Into general use. Though the ore is only found in a couple of the -extreme southern states of the country, large works aro in operation in the vicinity of Pittsburg converting it into articles for various uses, and Captain Hunt is one of the leaders of the extensive business. While he is greatly interested in his business, and making money from it. he takes a great interest in his battery, tho personnel of which is good throughout, and specially is ho supported by al corps of good ollicers, all of which goes to make up 0110 of second brigade's leading military organizations. Captain Hunt is a good disciplinarian, and runs his battery, of which he is justly proud, after the mannor of the pendulum of a clock, Drop into the Herald oflice and see the cup.

Tho Show row, is located on the common in the fourth east of Bald Eaglo creek. Ten ward, cent prices provail, and the show is worth much more than the admission charged. Complaint is made that horses are allowed to run at large up in the sixth ward, and that children are in danger of being hurt by the frisky animals. The owners of animals should be careful not to subject the people who have to freedom on the streets to inright jury by the violation of the borough statute relating to animals running at large in town.

On arriving home from camp meeting Saturday 11. A. Gripp discovered that thieves had entered his home 0n0 night last week and ransacked it pretty thoroughly. As Mrs. Gripp is away from home he is not able to say whether anythig was taken from the premises or not.

mission 25 cents, Sorgeant Adam L. Dickson, Jr. and Corporal Frank I. Sprankle, are two of the most sprightly young gentlemen that have become residents of Tyrono for a long timo. They are but a fow days old enol, but are developing the qualities of the soldier so rapidly that tho immediate command of thoir respective domicile being turned over to them is seriously contemplated by the seniors of the establishments.

The sorgeant measures just two inches les: than the length of a column of the Herald by actual measuremont with a foidod paper, and weighed an evon both clovon pounds and a ball, They are mendous youngsters, and will be taught how to draw a bead on the bull's eye tender age by their enthusiastic dada in that branch of the National guard: man's work. On the 28th of May last Charles Brat. ton and another young wan of the Seronth ward, Tyrone, entered tho premises of Decatur Smith in Snyder town ship and stole therefrom a lot of chick ens which were sold to Butcher Minnick by Bratton. The young men got winding of the odicers being after them and skipped the town. Yesterday Bratton returned and last night betwoon one and two o'clock Onicer Curtin and his brother Elmer charged the house where he was putting up with a woman though it is not known that they possess a marriage certificate.

A chargo ensued leading to the attic and out a small window therein to the roof of 4 kitchen. With Oficer Curtin outsido with revolyer in hand Elmer effected An arrest on the roof. Leaving tho roof by way of (be same window, Bratton was conveyed to the lockup where hie remained till eleyen o'clock today then before Justice Taylor plead guilty to the charge, He will Le sent to jail to await a court trial. The Tour of Duty tor 1805 Endod, Leaving camp at' 7 o'clock Saturday morning Sheridan Troop arrived in Tyrone early in the afternoon of the samo day. The organization moved directly to the armory after unloading horses and baggage, where the were fed and lunch served to the troopers by their competent commissaty sergeant, C.

M. Fleck, atier which the country members procceded to their homes, The week's encampment was one of pleasure to the cavalrymen, but one of hard work well and willingly performed also. Rising at five o'clock every morning the horses were groomed and stables and quarters policed before the morning gun at six o'clock woke up the balance of the camp. fast was sorvod at 6.30, dinner at 12 and suppor anywhero from 0.80 to 8 o'clock deponding 011 the timo the fold work was concluded in tho evening. Prequent patrols were sent out after ten o'clock taps to scour the surrounding country for straggling infantrymen.

But be it said to the credit of the metbers of that arm of the service in the Second brigade that rarely was a man found out of his legitimate place. This was ono of tho things that prompted General Wiley to congratulato the commandery of organizations at the closo of the encampment upon the great success of the outing. It was one of the quietest and most orderly encampments the brigade ever experienced, and tho various organizations returned homo 0n Saturday still bettor disciplined, better drilled and much bettor prepared genorally for more serious service should it arise than they were at tho opening of the encampment. The twenty-Shree now men of tho local organizatiou wi.o went into camp for the first limo came back tive veterans, and the blending of the now with the old is now so complete that in many cases it is dificult to disLinguish "tother from which." It hard was because of closo application and work by the recruits, which was simply tho following up of a commendable example by the older troopers, that enabled the troop to put up one of the best general inspections in its history, and without doubt tho very best in. spection drill, which was given under the critical eye of Major Sweeney of Philadelphia, with Colonel Morrell, the inspector general, close at hand, and in the presenco of all tho oficial dignitaries from commander-in chief down as interested spoctntors.

This may sound somewhat egotistical, but it is only fair for al homo paper to do justice to tho young men of an organization who went into the work with a degree of enthusiasm and energy that brought forth such favorable results, by stating the facts no matter who is or is not in onlicial position in the company. Many years ago Sheridan Troop became somewhat famous by winning from the City Troop of l'hiladelphia a trophy in a hurdle and target contest, the winning toam of four men hailing from Warriorsmark Valley, and it has been advancing steadily over since, until the critical United States army oflicer does not hesitato to pronounce it one of the first volunteer troops of cav. alry in the country at large today. We say it is but justice to the rank and Illo of the organization, and modesty has 110 right to stop in and interfere with the awarding to them of that which they have carned in the development of latent ability by earnest application, through the medium that reaches their frionds and those most interested in them and the organization to which they belong. The National guard or.

ganizations of no state with opportunity to receive instruction only at odd and periodical moments can line up on the same plane with those of tho general goverment service who makoa business of soldiering, but the military fabric of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania stands at the head of the list among tho militia of the country, and the local organization made up of members of the first families of communities ex. tending from Tyrone many miles into Blair, Huntingdon and Centre counties plays a leading part in sustaining that record, The organization comes home from another tour of sovere camp duty, with its attending frolio and recreation of course, in full possession of woll established reputation for etliciency in work along its own line. 'Tho Mon on tho Murgin of the loll, It was only by the skin of his molars that John Thomas succeeded in tearing himself loose from business long enough to go to camp this your with Sheridan Troop. Had he failed it would have been a diroful calamity all round, for nothing is complete in that organizawithout tho part of the leading "side dish," John has no bad habits with which to set a demoralizing ox. ample to younger men with less oxper rience than he in the world, IIis life record is as straight as his body when encased in his military outfit, which is carefully packed away ouch year for complete preservation till camping time comes round the next season.

Speakof erectness and importance, John had a temporary promotion this your. For the time, just before reyiow and inspection of the Troop, be was made the reviewing oficor during practice, without the honor of salutes, etc, It was a great eloyation, and his indispensable. ness is now beyond peradventure, With shining face and sparkling eyes he held down the reyiewing stand with the weight and importance of a majestic oak in a forest of second growth scrub timber. It has added great dignity to his person and from now on the m-m. monkey business with Major General John Thomas without commission is ended.

Ile wears his new howors with due modesty however, but he is nono the less aware of his importance and y-y-you all wight as well know it now GREAT REMODELING SALE.
