The most important matter- which came before the convention, and which will interest every member of the National Guard, was the federal pay bllL The bill provides that each officer serving with troops who have performed 76 per cent of prescribed military duty shall receive 16 per cent, of the annual rate of pay of his 'grade. Commanding officers of companies, troops and batteries are to receive an additional Increase of 6 per cent. All officers must pass an examination to be prescribed by the Secretary of War, in conference with the National Militia Board. All enlisted men attending forty-eight drills are to receive 26 per cent, of the annual rate of their grade and proportionately for less drills In excess of twenty. If less than twenty drills are attended the soldier will receive no pay from the government.

None can receive such pay unless a record score Is shot In the first year of enlistment and thereafter the prescribed course Is fired. The pay system is expected to materially elevate the standing of all regiments In the National Guard and MaJ. Gen. Dougherty and other officers feci that It Is rather difficult to Incite more than ordinary Interest among a lot of men when no reward is offered. GAVE HONORS TO OTHERS.

Speaking of Maj. Gen. Dougherty the Tribune-Republican of Scranton yesterday had the following to say: Thirty years ago a young man In Wllkes-Barre became imbued with a patriotic Impulse and forthwith commenced work among his acquaintances, his avowed purpose being the formation of a company of mllltla to be attached to the 9th at that time In process of organization. His efforts were rewarded by securing the signatures of enough men to warrant the formation of the company and In due time it was mustered into the service, the prime mover In the work of organization entering the ranks as a private, content to let all the honors go to others. That young man was Charles Bow man Dougherty, who recently was elevated to the rank of major-general and placed in command of the Division of Pennsylvania, comprising 10,000 officers and enlisted men.

"Out of the fifty men whose services were enlisted by the State that night thirty years ago. MaJ. Gen. Dougherty Is the only one who stilt remains In the service. He who was content to serve In the ranks after his efforts in enlisting the entire company is to-day honored In turn: honored with the highest military rank that it Is within the power of State to confer.

Then he shouldered nun and obeyed orders Now he gives commands. Truly perseverance, push and energy find their own reward. MaJ. Gen. Dougherty's position in the military department of the State to-day Is undoubtedly due to his remarkable executive ability, which combined "with a forceful personality and love for the service have ever kept him moving progressively for the betterment of whatever department of the service to which it has been his lot to be appointed.

These qualities came to the front some years ago when he was chosen to command the Ninth Reul-ment. At the time of his elevation to the the command was In a somewhat demoralized condition. There was strife among the officers, ltstless- ness among the men and a general happy-go-lucky state of affairs apparent In every department.

Miller, Gobln and Bowman, his predecessors In the rank having all served with the colors In "There is an interesting bit of his tory In connection with MaJ. Gen. Dougherty's climb from the ranks to his present position which quite strangely parallels the career of MaJ.

Gen. Leonard Wood, now In command of the regular army. It will be re membered that Gen. Wood started his career as an army surgeon, serving In that capacity until 189S. when he se cured leave of absence and organized the Rough Riders, Inviting Theodore Roosevelt, then serving as assistant secretary of the navy, to assume the lieutenant-colonelcy.

"Within a few weeks after enlisting in the National Ouard Gen. Dough erty was appointed principal musician Qf the Ninth Regiment. Later he suc cessively became regimental sergeant-major, Inspector of rifle practice, major, lieutenant-colonel and finally colonel. so his service can almost be said to have started as principal musician. Gen.

Dougherty was never a line of ficer, as the captains and the lieuten ants of companies are classified, his services having either been staff or field."
