Thompson and Corporal George J. Morgan, of Troop and Corporal Russell W. Whitlatch, of the Third Battery, appointed last week. There seems to have arisen -some misapprehension in regard to the strike reports of Gen. McLeer, it should be stated that while the reports, in paper covers, are In the hands of the Adjutant General, the bound copies are not.

but were issued in that form by the General himself, at his own expense, and are not intended for general distribution. f(4 stands like a statue, with his eyes fixed on the Stars and Stripes and his rifle at salute. Then the marines march away, Jacky folds up the flag and tucks It In Its berth, and the ship Is out of commission. Pfeifer knew every detail of the process. He could almost have told beforehand the very on which he would stand when he gave the order to salute the flag.

He was all ready for the last order from the captain, but when It came It nearly knocked him down, for It was not the order he had expected. And, worse than that. It was not the proper order. The captain commanded him to take his men ashore, draw them up on the wharf, and from that position to salute the flag as it fluttered down for the last time on the warship. Pfelfer was absolutely astounded.

For a minute almost ho stood like a man stunned. Then an extraordinary thing happened. The stolid German servant, with whom obedience to orders was as natural and as necessary as the breath of life, broke every tenet and tradition of the regulations and protested at the Captain's order All the training of his years of and. some are they re not economical. r3i: farther, does more work, and saves more wear, than anything else thatJs sate to use.

tat ispjn itaa ITU va IT WAS HELD IN THE NEW. CLUB-HOUSE ON ATLANTIC AVENUE. AND WAS: PERHAPS rHExlMOST. ENJOYABLE IN THE ORGANIZATION'S HISTORY. The sixteenth annual bal masQue ot the.

Brooklyn Turn Verein took: place, last night, in the new and commodious clubhouse of the organization, at Nos. 351 and 353 Atlantic avenue. Beginning: with a membership of twenty; in lSSL with bead-quarters In Piper's famous oil hall In Court street, now the organization has continued -to rrow and prosper until now. It embraces 125 names i'-on the memberhlp toll, Inctudlnc some of the moart prominent Oermans tn Brooklyn, and perhaps, the most-com-. plete clubhouse ot its character in the city, the clubhouse having been finished ind furnished four years ao.

As a spectacular and social success. Last night's event has seldom. If ever, been' excelled. The ball waa handsomely decorated with flags and banting, and when the grand march began all the aried hues and fantastical forms of the kaleido- scope was shown- on the ballroom floor. Petite peasant frauletns skipped along by the side of flerce-mustached brigands, without a shadow of fear; Florentine century gallants flirted ith dark-skinned gypsy queens, and the Chinaman acd Turk moved through the gay throng on the best of terms with each other.

Every, nationality under the sua was represented, while the characteristic tendency to glitter and tinsel was never made more apparent. And yet the whole harmonised, presenting a scene of animation at once striking and beautiful. At midnight, when the fun was at Its height, the procession was again formed, and the company proceeded to the dining room, where a splendid supper was served; after which the ballroom once more became the scene of mirth, music and lively feet. It was not until an early hour this morning that the last number on the programme was danced, and the members and their guests went home -with the satisfactory knowledge that the occasion had been one of the most delightful in the annals of the organization. The officers and committees to whoee well-directed efforts the success of the affair must be accredited, were as follows: Reception Joseph H.

52, 66 and. 4, Block 107. Twenty-eighth Ward Map. The Board of Assessors of the city of Brooklyn, pursuant to Chapter 56S of the Laws of 1888. entitled "An Act to revise and combine in a slnaie Pfelfer was a sergeant of marines, a fine, big, soldierly fellow, with a long tawney mustache and wide, open blue -yes that gave his stolid German face a frank, honest look.

Indicative of Is character. It was In his service In the German army, before he left the fatherland for a new home In the "land of the free," that his broad, sturdy shoulders were "set up" In such soldierly fashion. He was a sergeant In the Emepror's army, and after- ward, when he came out to America and enlisted In the navy, he found service as a Jacky rather distasteful. The brief authority he had had as a sergeant had unfitted him a little for life" inths ranks again, and although be was a good seaman and a faithful Jacky he grumbled under his breath once In awhile because the chance of advancement was so small and promotion so slow. So, when his term was up, Pfelfer did not re-enlist.

But he found after a little that he could not keep out of the service. and so he held up his hand beside his bare head and swore again to uphold the constitution and the government of United States, but this time It was as a member of the marine corps, "a bloomln', Jolly soldier and sailor, too." In the marine corps Pfelfer found that his service In the other two arms helped him very much. He was as steady as he was stoHd, and as faithful as both. He knew the regulations backward, and all the requirements and duties of every man and officer In the corps. So when his rapid promotion landed him as a sergeant, he slid into the routine of his duties as easily and as smoothly as a seal slips off a basking rock Into the sea.

After a while Pfeifer got an assignment to duty which made him very unhappy. He was detailed to command a detachment of marines on a United States warship under orders to patrol the Bering Sea on the lookout for seal poachers. There are no superfluous officers In the marine corps, and It sometimes happens that a sergeant has command of a small detachment on such duty. Pfelfer was delighted, and the men In his command were put through their drills and work with a thorough exactness which surprised some of them and made them a little Inclined to grumble. The sergeant was a.

strict disciplinarian, and the men felt It, but he was not a martinet and he was for the service, and so the men' settled down In the consciousness that Pfelfer was all right. The warship went on her cruise, and came back agiln, and Pfelfer's men were the pride of his heart. In not the smallest detail had the regulations suffered by their action, and the sergeant was happy as he contemplated the report he would make to his commanding officer. Then the warship was ordered to the Mare Is land Navy Yard for extensive repairs. Now, there Is a time-honored and glorious custom of saluting the flag when a ship goes out of commission.

In which the marines who have seen service on her take the largest part. The officers and the crew go ashore, all but one Jacky. Then the marines are drawn up on the Quarter deck, facing the, flag, which flut ters from the staff at the UfErall. The' solitary Jack throws his cap on the deck and stands bareheaded with his hand on the flag halyards, ready at the word of command to haul down the starry symbol of the Nation's life and power. As the Jacky goes at his work anil the flag begins to sink, the officer In command of the marines shouts: "Present arms!" Up go the guns with a rattle and a snap, and until the single Jacky has gathered the glorious flag in his arms to keep It from touching the deck as he hauls it down, every man jack of the marines RAILROADS.

"Forward, march," commanded Pfelfer, and off the marines of the warship swung to report to the commandant of the barracks, leaving an amazed and angry Jacky standing by the halyards, with no one to salute the flag' as he hauled it down.

The captain was furious. He had been defied by a sergeant of the marines, and he meant to make Pfelfer smart for It, but he did not know that the executive had seen and heard it all. Pfeifer did. Pfelfer went to the marine barracks and reported, but said never a word of the captain's order. His men were not so silent, and the barracks hummed with the story.

The men knew there would be a reckoning, and they waited impatiently for the result. The captain' went to the admiral and told his story. The next morning Pfelfer was summoned before the admiral. There the captain confronted him. The captain was still angry.

He knew down Irr the bottom of. bis heart that he had made a mistake, but he hoped to be able to force i I his complaint through by bluster, perhaps, I If he couldn't make it appear bad enough for Pfelfer by his narration of the ser geant's refusal to obey his orders. So he told his story, and he counted that his word would stand against that of an enlisted man. Then it was Pfelfer's turn. He gave a simple, straightforward account of what had occurred, and his honest face and soldierly bearing lent It strength.

When it was finished, he added: "And the executive officer was in the office, and he heard all that was said." "Orderly," said the Admiral, "ask the executive officer to come here." The Captain's jaw fell, for he saw that he was caught In a double trap. He had failed to observe the regulations, and after that he had lied about it. He waited uneasily until the executive officer came. The executive's story was as Pfeifer had told it. A scowl came over the face of the Admiral.

"You may 'go, sergeant," he said to Pfeifer. and when the sergeant had saluted and gone the -Admiral turned upon the Captain and exclaimed: "Capt. Allison, I am ashamed of you, sir. Tou are the damnedest fool in the United States navy. Tou are a disgrace to your uniform and tKe flag and the service.

I am amazed and chagrined that you should require to be taught the regulations of your service by a sergeant of marines, and that man not a native of your country. Tou are a disgrace, sir, and I am ashamed of you." Pfelfer. walked back to hU quart era with his head erect and a smile under his long, tawny mustache, but in his heart there RAILROADS. Central R.

It was to him the revelation and the demonstration of the Impossible. The whole elaborate fabric bo had built out of the traditions of the army, navy and marine service came tumbling about his ears. The very foundations of belief were shattered by the single command which showed the rergeant that a captain who did not knovp his duty was, after all, a possibility.

The color went out of Pfelfer's face, and he grew deathly pale. Then he saluted and said: i "But I beg your pardon, sir. It Is not the regulation. I should salute from the quarter d.3ck." 1 i If he had received a blow In the face th Captain could not have been more surprised. It was a serious thing, indeed.

when Pfeifer protested at an order. But the sergeant's objections were well grounded. It recalled the regulation to the Captain, and he knew his order was a mistake. Nevertheless, It was his order, and he would not reverse It. He hesitated an instant, and then: "Tou heard the order," he said.

"Obey It" i They were standing on the main 'deck, just outside the executive officer's office; The executive was at his desk, finishing up the last of his work before going ashore. The window was open, and he heard all that was said by the Captain and the Sergeant. he heard the1 order repeated, the executive looked out of the window. He saw Pfelfer standing, white-faced and determined, facing the angry Captain. The Sergeant breathed in quick, shorhgaps, and as the execu-t tlve watched he lifted his hand again In salute, and said: i "The moment my men and I are sir.

we are no longed under your com-; mand. My superior officer then Is the. commandant of the marine barracks. If I go ashore, sir, I cannot obey your order to salute the flag, for my duty then Is to report at once to my commanding The captain's face went red and white, and he lost his grip on his temper. His voice rose to an.

angry shout, and he exclaimed: "Take your men ashore, and salute the flag from the wharf." Without a word Pfelfer saluted, wheel- ed on his heel and went away. Presently the bugle summoned the marines to fall In. Pfelfer was at their head. Down the gangplank they marched, and on the wharf they formed up. "Right face!" shouted the sergeant.
