NO ASCENSION.
It lrfiroo Crowd Meet Disappointment nt
Columbia Park.
The Imllonn naoentlons and parachute leaps
advertised for the plenle of the Independent
8cIh1 Club at Columbia Park on Saturday
proved failures, to the disappointment of a
groat throiiK of people. Mons. Iloberto was
to have made an aseens.uii at 10 a. in., hut
wnlle filling the balloon with hot air ho con

winds were strong and there was danger of
the side of the balloon being
blown ngstnst the flame from tho
staok inside, which would be attended
by a destruction of the imlloon and prolwble
dentil of the young man at work in it during
the process of filling. Mme. Urace Kolierlo
was announced for an ascension auu leap in
the afternoon. The balloon was filled and
Mme. Roberto went up with it on the pani

of about forty feet It wavered an Instant and
then slowly deeeuded. It looked M If the
aeronaut would laud on the fence
at the northern side of tho park
and she screamed for help cal

striking the fenco. Fortunately the descent
was made a few feet from the obstruction.
SImo. Koberto was thrown at length upon her
left side. As she landed her husband re

from tho lulloon and the latter went soaring
high in the air and over the dirt banks In a
northeasterly direction. It fell In tho brush
a few yuriis north ot the J.onieii vauey
railroad. When Mme. Roberto was assisted
to her feet she was suffering from shock
but soon recovered. Latershe stated that tho
fall bad caused a bruising of her body on tho
loft side, from foot to shoulder. Iu explain

the staok used to fill tho balloon had become
partly chnRcd with dust and ashes. As a re

KvBXlKo Hkiiald: Kindly allow me to
explain to my friends iu mid about Slieuaiv
doah, through the columns of (ho lliui.u.i),
tlio duties of a soldier in tho United Suites
regular army. I eiilhted over a year ago in
tho Otli U. S. Infantry, to servo three years
for "Undo Sam."
A soldier does not live, as most people
think, iu tents, oto.. but In brick and stone
buildings with all modern Improvements,
There aro, howover, two months In each
year, when wo do live in tents, this is during
tho nnnual target practice, of which I shall
explain lator. A nglment of Infantry is
divided Into two battalions, each of these
are again divided into four companies of 03
men each.
f A soldior's day Is between sunrise and sun
set. At sunrise, (usually about 0 o clock),
rcvoille is sounded on tho trumpets. At this
timo a roll is called of all men present, tho
gun Is fired aud tho flag hoisted, bo tho day
begins. Breakfast follows In a few minutes.
At 7:00 a. m. "sick call" sounds, and men on
sick report go to tho hospital. When tho
trumpet again sounds at 7:30, It notifies tho
men it is timo for drill. Instruction in tho
manual of arms, bayonot oxorcise, marchings
aud oxtended order, constitute tho drills.
At 8:30 Is recall. At 0:00 guard mount takes
place. This is tlio principal fcaturo of tho
day. A limited number of men from each
conipauy mount guard. The noatcst and
cleanest man is selected by tho Adjutant
for an orderly for tbo commanding officor.
His duties for tho day aro to carry orders and
messages. Tho rest of tho guard walk post
and aro rehoved every two hours. At noon
the troops go to dinner. At sunset, retreat
is sounded, tho roll called, the evening gun
fired, and tbo flag lowered, whllo tho baud
plays, "Tho Star Spangled Banner." Retreat
is the last formation fur tbo day. At 0:30
p. m. tattoo sounds and lights aro all put out.
Taps sound at 11:00 p. m. At this timo a
non-commissioned officer goes through tlio
quarters and seos if overy man is in his bunk.
This duty is called "check."
The next day is a rcretltiou of tho ono pre
ceding. There is no chango In this schcdtilo
except for Saturdays and Sundays. On Sat
urday Inpoction takes placo at 8:30 u. in.
aud on Sundays thero is no drill.
In tho beginning of this letter I referred
to target practice. During July and August
the t loops go into camp, at Stony Point,
about 17 miles from the garrison. To reach
this place they march in heavy marchinji
order, which consists of the knapsack, shelter
tent, haversack, canteen, belt and rlllo.
This makei a vory hard march. When thoy
aro oilco in camp and tents all pitched, tho
annual target practico begins in earnest. The
ranges aro 200 and 300 yards at tho figuro of
a man lyiug down; 500 and 000 yards at a
kneeling figure; 800 yards at a stnuamg
figuro, and l.OOQjyards at tho figure of a
