Major W. H. Millar rnme home last
evening ftotn Neiv YotU and was Inter
lpived liy it Trllmni icporter on his
Mens ot til" future of the Nntlonat
liutiul of Pennsylvania. What he Bald
was vigorous nnd emphatic, and lie
si. mined It up vilth this sentence:
"The l'nlteil States uoveinmpnt has
sold to Pennsylvania the most beauti
ful gold brick that ever was manufat
tuitd." His opinion Is that tho National
fitiatd has gone and forever, and the
fedeial government has committed an
unpatilonabh' outtage. The reasons lie
gave will be here lelnted. Our state,
wld he, had the finest guard nn this
ship of Hip water. It was the-only onu
in the count! y fully tinned, equipped,
tialned, and disciplined on a basis with
the tpgulnr army.
In the call for soldlets l?su"d by the
president, I'i nnlitnl'i'B uuuta vwis
lO.SCO men On Apt 11 '2'j the governor
called out the stat guard, and on last
rtldiiy inotnlng at 10 o'clock every
man of this number was mustered Into
the Cnlted 5tate8 teivlcp. The New
"ciik state yuatd was called out about
the same time, und up to the present
not mote than Il.OOO soldlets have been
musteietl ft on: aiming them. The Thir
teenth teglment, of Brooklyn, and the
Seventh, ol New Vol It, refused to go
out nt all uulis they got eveiythlng
thev askid lor. '
puovns thu KFririnNcv.
The futility with which our htate has
responded to the call for soldiera Is
enough to prove the elliclency of tho
guard. lively leglment is ready to
move or Is moving to the stations des
ignated by the wur department, nnd
the delay that has been Is the fault of
the rational government In not having
things icailv.
Major Miliar was given to understand
when lie left thtee weeks ago for Mt.
Gietiia that the state guaid from top
to Iwltom would be accepted Into the
regular at mi. It became known a few
davs later that thete was a hitch In
thlb anangement, and Governor Hast
ings went to Washington and conferred
with the president. When he rime
back everybody thought the hitch was
m.ul? Mi. tight and tin assurance would
be iiAllllcd.
How, he asked, has that piomise been
Kept'.' The war depaitment sent three
oil t "is to Mt. Oietna to ch the muster
ing. They began with the guardsmen
and examined then tiny after day until
the iv oik was ooiiiplefd Then thev
went up to the ollkeis of the compan
ies, fioni that to the of'kers of the leg
uiiem, and, when II came to the inigade
and division ofllcett they Mopped and
told them the.v could go home.
inet.il Orpin, of the Third brigade,

for tin- past twpi'.ty.fhe vents he gave

hald Majoi Millar, he Is one of the best

He was Invited to gi into his old
company, vvheio lie was sure of a
t Inimissloneil otllcH, hill lie would IltK
usurp a. place that the mm In line of
promotion were striving for.
When tln mustering was completed
Pilday, all left of the state guaid vvera
the staff und a. btnhs hand Governor
Hastings told Genetal Gobln to go
home that theie was no fuither need
of the guunl at Mt. Gtetna. The gen
eral wan not In a, pleasunt fiame of
mind as he sun eyed tlu scene, and
saw one of the finest mllltuty otgant
zatlons In the countiy luoken up. For
Inoken up It li. Major Millar believes.
A PHOVI810NAK, tlUAltl).
Now they ptoposp, said he to tugan
iv a ptovlslonal guaid. Who will or
ganize It? Will Genetal Gobm.' Will
ho go to wink and begin all met again
to equip und tialn nnd hilng to a
high standard of peifettlon a military
tody that may be taken fioni him. and
when It Is taken away those who take
It will Just say, "Go home now nnd
bo good, vve don't want you any mure,
thank you "
Will General Gobln or any other
man set about to mganlze a guaid or
a leglment that will le subject a rail
for the mippieslon of strikes and rlot
ets, und when thine Is an opportunity
that the guard mu show- what stuff It
Is Hindi' of, to be told that the honors
are to bo to somebody else?
"I understand," said the Major, "that
a cull has beon mude for u Pinfeienco
of the inujor general, brigadier gener
als, und Inspector-Geneial Morrell to
wattl reorganizing n provisional guard
Well I can Ju,it hear Genetal nobln'H
iinxwer.
Tlie prov Islonal guard av 111 he Just for
tho time tho old guaid Is on duty In
thu regular tinny Hut. said the major,
the old guaid will not resolve Itself
back Into Its former suite. Hovy ean
it? Theio Is not more than 40 per cent,
of Its membership in the muster roll,
With that nUmber that paid "no," tho
number that was tinned down on ac
count of physical disability, nnd the
number required to bring the compan
ies from to to Tfi, theie Is not nio.-e
than 40 per cent, of the old guard left
And not moro than one out of forty of
thene will care or bother about the
National Guaid when they get back
ftom tho wnr.
m:aiMi:NT.s nrATTi:nt:D.
Why? Hecattse the leglmenlH nre
pure lo be scattpml far nnd wide Al
ien tly one battalion of one leglment has
been sent to Wilmington to guard
powder mills and another battalion to
Prompton, N. .1. This und that legl
ment hurt been sent to Chleknmnuga,
the othet s to Tenesee, and some others
to Washington.
Ho bellevts thp sppnratlon of the
stnte guard was piemedltntcd. Iook
nt the way men were turned down for
iillegi'd disability. The sound, bodily
health of the Thirteenth leglment was
never mote ideally donated than in
the experience of the morning It land
ed at Mt. Gretna in a blinding snow
stoim. Not u mini was sick. Hvery
man of them was as strong and able
'to light as any one In the regular ntmy.
They had been trained to soldier
lire. They had the encampment ex
pel lence that seasoned them to it. It
was not the custom at encampments
to do as the New York troops did, mob
ilize nt plpanant Peekpklll, und eat In
a big dining hall and select their vic
tuals from menu cards. Our state sol
diers camped In tents, did their own
cooking, nnd had army rations.
When the governor of Massachusetts
was called upon to furnish his quota
he refused to let tho guard go, but ho
nnsweied he would supply llftcen or
twenty thousand volunteers. He was
condemned by some nnd praised by
others, but the preponderating senti
ment was in his fnvor.
NO GlTAUD NOW.
Pennfivlvnnla has no guard now. She
is nt the mercy of mobs or rioters. Who
will oig.inlz" h. guard.' Will It be the
men who vieie nt the head of the old
guard? No. they have had one ex
perience. Will It be somebody else?
Not any wise pet .sons, In the light of
that expel lence.
In concluding Major Millar said. "I
have taken off my unlfoi m and laid
It aside, and will wait until a week or
so passes bv. If my eservlces are not
then deslied, I shall lay il asice and
never put it on again as long as I have
the right of my senses "
HAS AFFECTED THE SCHOOLS.
Arernsn Altendnnco Decreased hjr
Ixtru Kdltions of Newspapers.
To thp war Is indirectly attributed
a pronounced deciease In the average
attendance In the public schools. Ac
cording to an Investigation by Super
intendent Howell ns to the leason for
nn unusual Inegular attendance dui
Ing the past four weeks, It has been
found that as many us 191 siholars
sell papeis This occupation during a
peilod when many extra editions of
the npwsp.ippiM nte being Issued, has
dec i cased the average attendance from
SS per cent. In Apt II to SO per cent, or
less since May 1.
The total of 7!'T school bovs engaged

THi: LITIGATION.
Attorney John V. Scrngc and ex-
Judge Htnnton had a. verbal sparring
matcli yesterday nftcrnoon during tho
hearing in an arbitration hofuic At
torneys J. H. Watklns, Joseph Jeffreys
and Frank R. Hoyle.
The case was that of Mm Joseph
Cupollflke, of Pricehurg, against John
Kurzleskl. administrator of her first
husband's estate. 'She brought suit to
recover $Si00 paid by her to the Meadow
Urook liulldlng nnd Loan association
on the property left by her husband.
He died on August C, 1RH3, nnd there
was that much to be paid on the prop
erty. Five children vieie then nllve,
but two of them died since.
A year ago the oldest daughter got
mnrrled to Ftank Snlgutskl, nnd soon
after that her motlipr tnariied Capollt
ske. Then the trouble began. The two
families lived in the same house. The
mother wnnted the daughter to pay
rent, and the daughter lofuscd, and
wanted the estate divided so that she
would get her shaie. Surgleskl was
appointed administrator, and Mrs. Cap
olltske tiled u claim of JS00 with him
for the mono) she paid to the building
nnd loan association.
Mr. Scingg appeared as attorney for
the children, but the nrhlttatois de
cided he had no standing In the suit
as It was brought. Mr. Scragg charged
a whole lot of things to the fair plain
tiff nnd her seconel husband, and Mr.
Stanton took up her defense. Some of
the things said would sound very bad
In ptlnt.
Mr Scragg served notice that he
would carry the case into court and
make It hot for the plaintiff nnd some
others. The property Is worth about
$3,000. The daughter claims that If hpr
mother paid JR00 to tho building nnd
loan association, she got JC00 of It In
life insuiance on No. 1.
