has finally manaeed to clear nr it was a fine sight yesterday morning to look out at sea The surf would strike the rocks here at the fort and dash up into the air a number of feet Very few vessels have gone out of the harbcr for the last two days on ac- count of the storm The boys are all satisfied with the food npw since we went in with the regulars There are 10 men each day frcm our battery who have to wait on tables and help the cooks and then wash all dishes alter meais as well as to see that the mess room Is kept clean There was no guard detail from our battalllon yesterday The remaining Boston batteries have been prevented from leaving here on account of the storm This morning the boys are all busy writing letters it being Sunday and we have nothing to do Privates Kitcnen Last evening after roll call In our quarters that is Sargent McAdams' Bquad we had a mock court trial at which Private Thurston presided as juage liugier Lee and Private Lit tlefleld were the prisoners and the i ne jury was impaneled as follows: Private Horan McGlynn Sharpies Bradbury and Davis foreman Witnesses for the prosecution were Private Hughes Bridges and Ser geant Potter the latter being the chief witness Witnesses for the defense were Corporal Durfee and Sergeant Mc Adams The cross-examination by Counsel Mitchell brought out some very funny remarks The case went to the Jury at quarter to 10 after Private Sharpies had made his plea for the pro secution and Corporal Mitchell for the defense At 10 minutes of 10 the Jury brought in a verdict of guilty in the case of Bugler Lee His counsel immediately filed exceptions for a new trial on the ground that Private Sharpies being a member of the Jury had no right to act as prosecuting attorney and make the plea A new trial will probably be given Lee in the near future Private Littlefleld was discharged the evidence in his case not being considered by the Judge as sufficient to hold him Sergeant McAdams had his hands full In trying to keep order one or two having to be ejected from the court room Lieutenant Horton of the Brockton battery has started a class in signalling A number of the boys in our battery have gone into it This is not compulsary as It takes place of course out of drill hours SMITH MILLS FIRE Ttrn ltnrned but New Bedford Engine Kr Dwelling House A telephone message was received at the central fire station in New Bedford shortly after 10:30 Saturday evening from Smith Mills requesting the assistance of a fire engine at a lively blaze then in progress in the centre of Smith Mills village Chief Macy was communicated with and aftre learning the facts and that a considerable portlem of the little village was threatened gave orders to No 5 engine company to take the steamer out to the fire Box 16 was struck at 10:45 and the company quick ly responding made a splendid run out to the mills in spite of the bad weather and'-muddy roads It was discovered that the fire wasln a smalV barn in the rear of the main road in the village The ilames were aided In their work of destruction by a northeast gale and when the engine reached the fire the barn was past saving and the two-story dwelling house adjoining the barn had caught fire notwithstanding the efforts of a bucket brigade a line of hose 500 feet long was run from the sluiceway to the fire and 'good streams of water pumped by the engine saved the house and extin- gnlshed what fire was left in the barn The buildings were owned by Mrs Clarissa Ayer of Smith Mills Before the engine started back for New Bedford the "firemen were treated to hot coffee and cigars by the grateful citizens of the place The firemen although they earned the treat were very grateful to be remembered SATURDAY NIGHT'S PLAY There was a falr-slred audience at the Academy Saturday night when Sothern and his company under the management of Daniel Frohman appeared at the Academy in "Lord Chumley" From beginning to end -there Is not a weak scene and not for a minute does the attention of the audience lag All of the parts are excellent this is one of the beautiful things in the play It is doubtful if any actor now before with the strength and success that Mr Sothern does The stammer in the drawling speech of the languid Englishman which is difficult to sustain for any length of time is so well delivered everywhere by Mr Sothern that It seems almost his real habit Mr Sothern Is surrounded by an exceptionally clever company and among those seen in tne cast were Messrs nuwianu i Buekstone Morton Selten Tully Mar shall Daniel Jarrett Marshall Stedman John Collins Misses Rebecca Warren Margaret Anglin Edith Barker and Mrs jKate Pattison-Selten all of whom were equal to all requirements A special word of mention is due Miss Margaret Anglin for her first class acting as the "Meg" the servant girl TONIGHT'S BOXINC BOUTS' The boxing carnival at the Academy tonight will be a big affair The pro--gramme placed before the public Is easily the best ever given here In addition to the local bouts that are warm and amusing are some that will be clean and fast Mike Carney and Tom McCoy will make it lively and Joe Murphy and Tug Shea are slated for a hot There are several others and the exhibition between the Touhey brothers is a clever act The top liners will be worth much more than the price of admission Two colored men of reputation in Boston will meet Fall River's most promising boxers Joe Horn a rugged fellow who is a fast boxer and a hard hitter will go six rounds with the clever Martin Riley Martin has not been up against game of this kind before' but he -fears nothing He is in good shape anft will show that few in his class afea4tad of him Bob Allen will meet Jimmy Dunn and it should prove the best exhibition ever seen here Dunn's abilities have been shown the local people on several occasions but never with a man nearer hla match than Allen The hitter's draw with Tim Kearns one of the recognized lightweights of the country and numerous battles have stamped him as a dangerous customer for any of them Dunn is in fine fettlo and is confident of success Fall River sports will be better ablet judge of him after this contest than ever before Tickets are selling: well and a big house is assured COLLIER LEAVES BOSTON BOSTON June XTntted States collier Southery Captain Goodwin sailed from the

in number decked out in all the panoply of glorious war I could not but be struck by the fct that out of the entire number rTwas Zt "oneTno' "aVhleved8 first of officers whose portraits were given rank as a commanding officer during tha I 1 1 hara a a enJoyed an ephemeral prominence These portraits were taken in the early days of what was a long war Our present war will nrobably be one of short duration Should it be one of long duration many of the officers whose names are now prominent will probably give way to others whose names are not even known It is a somewhat interesting fact in this connection that all of the great commanding officers in the Civil War were West Pointers althoiiE-h there were notable exceptions to thK -both In the federal and confederate armies Almost every day the police are notified of the theft of one or more bicy cles and the only surprise to me is that there are not many more instances of or 15 wheels ranged up along the curb ing with no owner in sight Some of the riders I Judged were in the clothing stores bar rooms or barber shops in front of which the silent steeds were standing and to my way of thinking they looked very much tike an invitation to steal for such persons as had any inclination or temptation to possess themselves of that which did not belong to them Just a little care and common sense on the pari of wheel owners would save much worry for themselves and the police and prevent crime on the part of others I have heard some queer excuses valid or otherwise in relation to why people dick not attend divine service on Sundays but the queerest 1 think was related to me by a young man the other week He said he arose early on the Sunday in question with a strong de termination to accompany his mother to church His shoes were the last things in his makeup he intended to put on for as he explained it up to that tit-no ha hurl nn A no ctt nnors VVr i viV The shoes were of the laced kind One was hitched without any diirtculty but the other was without the necessary string To- make matters worse there was not another in the house and the shoes were his only pair He therefore i at a 1U ffvlrl nlngs for the congressional nomination proved very conclusively that the- rank and file of the citizens admire the man of genial anJ Democratic manners more than! one who holds himself aloof from them All that could be said against the successful candidate was that he had been an office holder for a great many years and there is no doubt that this objection would have cut more of a figure than it did if his op ponent had possessed even a tithe of the agreeable and companionable ways of tne man who won The piain pt0 pie have no use for a man who assesses himself at too high a valuation no matter how truly good he may

manufacturers In the world died In Providence Saturday afttmon at 5 o'clock He was actively at the head of the Knight company until three or four years ago when falling health compelled him to partially retire but he nevertheless continued to pass some of his time at the clfice of the company at 3 Washington row Some three months asro Mr Knight's condition became critical and his death lot several diys was looked for He however rallied but the weather of the past few weeks was very depressing and he lost grotmd steadily It-can almost be paid that the cotton king of Rhode Island died of old age His aniictions were all incident) to his 60 odd years of life The immense business of the concern will be carried on by Robert Knight of the firm and his sons the latter having been directing

the big Canadian landed with force Several tims Corbett tried with little success to fool him At last as the big fellow once more loomed up before him Corbett turned to Jack Doyle who knows every trick of the game and can size up a man's weakness instantly and asked: "How will I pitch it to fool this fellow 7" "Throw it to the second baseman" re- Plied Doyle Joe sent it up to the plate and

the Hish several youngwomen migm nae ueen seen stealing home througn tne DacK streets ith tin palls wrapped in pa- nor I asked an acquaintance among them the reason that the pupils were obliged to furnish their own material and the reply Indicated that the class takes so much interest in the dissecting that the High school aquarium has run dry Another reason was that in view bf the condition of the aquarium -pupils could either study and recite a long les- sen or give a practical illustration on that narticu'ar subject and it was much easier to conduct the practical side of lt because no studying would be necessary and if mistakes were made an excuse could be furnished on the basis that every one was not a surgeon But the most noticeable thing connected with this somewhat famous zo- necessary fori these dear pupils They refuse to' eat1 any fish or the like after a few dissecting lessons and live only on dainty dishes This is all right oc-1 caslonallv but unless a change of dis-

melo-dra-mas such as "The Heart of Chicago" "The Limited Mail" "The Tornado" and half a dozen others of the same type have grown rich from the profits of their many companies If this be true it amply proves the fact that the American people or at least a great many of them are easily entertained and not very particular as to literary requirements or the element of probability in their theatrical amusements The plots are as a rule not only Improbable but impossible and the actors generally a lot of be-lud shedders and me-ehild me-darling child shriekers who are simply supporting such strong
