Early this morning the Thirteenth regiment and Battery went into camp and later CHAUTAUQUA TO START SATURDAY Plan on Foot to Take Assembly from Present System of Local Management and to Place Gettysburg on Regular Circuit. The second annual Gettysburg Cbau tauqua Assembly will open on Satur day evening.

Tbe men are being given practices in the pitching of tents, advance and rear guard duty, marching, protecting against imaginary foes all ttie preliini naries of the war game The first evening concerts were held Monday evening and drew the usual number of people from town.though the difficulty of reaching camp kept many away. The detail of six members of the State Constabulary arrived in GetUs- burg on Monday and went on duty Monday evening. They will assist the local police in protecting citizens and their properly. The ungentlemanly conduct of a large portion of the militia cails for rather stringent measures on the part of local authorities and even private citizens have found it neces-sary to call a hilt on the rode conduct of the men as they traverse the town streets Word was received at Monday afternoon that Captain Olackford, of West Chester, had been drowned in Illinois where be was kept by business and was away from camp on leave of absence. Captin Blackford was quartermaster on General Price's staff and described by all who knew him as a fine type of gentleman.

One company from the Sixth regiment was ordered to act as a military escort at his funeral in West Chester and General Price also had a member of bis staff present. There is not a i talk on the part the guardsmen on account of what they term nine days' duty for eight pay. Tbe various commands are other than guaranteeing a certain number of tickets, the management of the general circuit engaging all talent. providing the tent and so on. A very much higher grade of attractions can be secuied in this way than purchasing talent "retail."

For this day they get no pay and area), lowed no rations with the result that tbe men must either take some of the rations for their second day in camp and apply on tbe first day's? meals or purchase their own food for the first few meals in camp The fact that the state allows no pay or rations for the advance details is also a subject which arouses the indignation of he guardsmen Tommy Livingstone, the Pittsburgh newsboy who was hurt at Harrisburg while on his way here, is recovering in one of the field hospitals and it is expected i be able to take up his work again if he is given very careful attention. Many of tbe men in camp bave seen long service in tbe Guard. Lieutenant 'olonel A. L. Williams and Captain Jbarles F.

Hess, both First Regiment men. are now enjoying their twenty- eighth camp. Captain Hugh Craig has been quartermaster of the First Troop for forty one years and is at tbis camp in the same capacity not under canvas. mud at camp has caused a great deal of discomfort. There has been difficulty in securing baggage promptly with the result that cots were not on band and the men were practically compelled to lie down on the soft ground if they wanted to get any sleep.

The auto trucks have experienced a great deal of difficulty in tbe muddy roads and have frequently "gotten stuck." The First Brigade has bad much trouble i its water supply. At first they could not get sufficient pres- and when this was remedied they round the water so cloudy that "it was thought wise to issue an order directing tnat all water be boiled. An analysis was made and the water found to lie perfectly pure but the boliing is being done as an extra precaution. The Riley medal for the officer or enlisted man of thn National Guard of Pennsylvania in longest continuous strvice at the time cf a division encampment will be awarded to General J.

A decision of far-reaching importance baa lately been rendered by the Common Pleas Conrt of Adams County to the eflect that since the passage of tbe Act of June Iflth, 1911. a person who makes an assignment for the beneSt of creditors, is, not entitled to claim the benefit of the $300.00 exemption law. if any creditors hold notes ofjjsuch person containing waivers of exemption clauses. It is the first decision on this question in Pennsylvania. Under former laws, a person could contract debts, giving bis creditors notes or other obligation-- in which he agreed to wane all rigLt and claim, to exemption out of his estate, and.

if be then made an assignment for creditors, could claim such exemption notwithstanding his agreement not to do so. In the opinion filed by Judge Swope it is held, that "under tbe law as it now is, in reference to tbe $800.00 exemption, an insolvent assigning his property for the benefit of his creditors, is left just as his contract obligations find him." The decision was rendered in the case of assigned estate of William Weisensale.
