GUARDS HIGHLY PRAISED
Talk of Makloe Captain Hope Major of the
Fourth Regiment. Football

The Daily Press is in possession of
information from a strictly reliable
source to the effect that the happiest
and handsomest set of soldier
boys now in camp at the
State capital are the Peninsula Guards,
of this city, the plucky lads who, on
last Friday afternoon, faced one of the
most powerful emotional fussilades
ever directed at human hearts. It was
a hard fight all along the line, but
harder, of course, Tor some than oth?
ers, and ffcere were times when it
seemed that more than one would yield
to the strong appeal of mothers and
sisters and sweethearts. But once
away from the old town, with its sa?
cred memories and happy associations.
Captain Hope and hts men were able
to swallow the big lumps that rose in
their throats at the hour of parting,
and by the time the stentorian but me?
lodious voice of Captain Jim. Bailey no?
tified them that they had reached
Richmond, a jollier set of young ras?
cals never set tooth in hard tack and
salt bacon.
A prouder or more patriotic compa?
ny never marched over the cobblestone
pavement of Broad etreet than Cap?
tain Hope's youthful and neatly at?
tired warriors. And they had reason
to fell proud, for the loyal people of
Richmond proceeded to cheer them
with a vigor that that showed that
they know a good thing when they s.-e
it. Upon reaching Camp Lee the
Guards took up their quarters in the
auditorium of the exposition building
and there passed their first night. The
accommodations were very different,
of course, from those they had just
left, but that, to use a worldly phrase,
was a matter that cut no ice with
them. An abundance of clean straw
made the hard boards of the bunks
softer, and the boys, one by one, drop?
ped off and slept as peacefully as
when, years ago. they closed their eyes
upon the bosom of that dearest of all
friends, as from her loving lips fell the
sweet notes of her evening lullaby. It
is possible that some of Hampton's
soldier lads thought of those happy
days as they stretched themselves
upon their hard berths on that first
night of their war experience, and they
may think of them again, in a distant
land, when the burning sun sets upon
a martial tragedy in which they were
actors and the shadows gather and
deepen around them.
On Saturday the Guards moved into
tents, a change with which they were
much pleased. Objection was raised
to lying on the ground if it could be
helped, and Private George Wray
Booker, always fertile in original sug?
gestions, promptly proposed a scout?
ing party to look for lumber. It was
soon formed and set out with Private
Booker at its head. A short march
brought the squad to an unoccupied
one-story house, and in the brief space
of an hour the tents of the Guards
were provided with comfortable plank
floors. Twenty men occupy one tent.
Captain Hope and Lieutenant Daugh
erty, however, are quartered under
the same canvas. The change of quar?
ters gave the men plenty to do and
enough to think about to keep their
minds off the old town and the tear
stained faces they left Friday. In the
evening the election of a second lieu?
tenant took place and furnished the
topic of conversation for the rest of the
day. Vernon L. Daugherty, son of
Capt. W. T. Daugherty, was elected.
The only other candidate was First
Sergeant Harry Holt. A. number of In?
teresting rules were adopted on Satur?
day, among them being one requiring
a'll privates to discard collars and
neckties and instead use a red hand?
kerchief around his neck. The rule
was set aside Sunday night, however,
in order to enable the company to at?
tend worship at Holy Trinity church,
of which the Rev. Mr. Gravatt, form?
erly pastor of St. John's Episcopal
church In this city, is rector.
The physical examination of the
company took place yesterday and it
will be gratifying news to the people
of Hampton to know that not a man
was turned down. But one member
failed to pass muster and he is a man
who enlisted after the Guards reach?
ed Richmond. Captain Hope is still
seven men short, however, and hence
there is an opportunity for some young
patriots from this section to distin?
guish themselves. It is not expected
that there will be any trouble in bring?
ing the company up to the required
eighty-four before the end of the we^k.

correspondent of the Daily Press by

Company D enjoys the distinction in
Richmond of being the crack company
of the Fourth regiment. People have
fallen in love with them, a fact th?t
may not be relished by the girls that
some of the boys left behind them. No
one knows when they will start South,
but the probability is that their stay
at Camp Lee will not be prolonged.
Than thev will start for Cuba to enter
the arena of real warfare. WtH all of
them come back? There are people in
this town who would be happier If they
could write down the answer to that
question this morning and there are
those who would feel that life for them
had lost Its dearest charm.
WHY THEY DON'T ENLIST.
An Explanation by Attorney Bassette.
of This City.
In a letter to the Daily Press Attor?
ney A-. W. E. Bassette, speaking for
his race, gives the following explana?
tion of alleged apathy upon the part of
colored men In the matter of enlisting
in the army. He says:
"They would enlist if they were to
receive any encouragement from those
who are in a position to encourage
them. The colored man proved to the
United States government In the civil
war that he could fight, and there were
no superior Qualities possessed by any
nation not possessed by hint. He was
quick to understand, quick to execute
commands. He went from the corn?
fields and cottonfields to the battlefield,
not from the military schools to the
battlefields. He did not know how to
?bout face,' but he did yeoman service
for his country in arms. Now he is
told to stand aside with all of his will?
ingness to do. and wait, even since he
can fill some of the otiiees himself, lie
is discouraged by having it said that
the white soldiers will not fight by his
side. It would be a shabby sight to see
the armies of these United States In
battle on Spanish soil with the white
soldiers refusing to join a battle be?
cause of the presence of the colored
soldier.
"The Kecoughtan Guards organized
before war was declared, and they are
loyal citizens. They may not all be
resolute; some may be faint-heart, d
and have excuses like the white troop-,
but others were created for that pur?
pose and would go and do as much
fighting as any soldier the government
has. These men will not enlist under
any such men as Colonel Austin. Oh.
no. If they are to be sacrificed, they
do not want him to make the offering.
We are a part of this soil tthe greater
part); we are natural born Americans
and cannot claim any other country as
ours. We love the flag and we arc
willing to protect It.
"We have no money with which to
uniform ourselves, and are obliged to
move cautiously along until we can
procure our uniforms. We are having
regular meetings and drills, and tak?
ing in new members at every meeting.
Some of our men were misinformed
through some of the Hampton com?
pany about suits, which caused them
to drop off when they found out to tin
contrary. We want to be mustered in
as soon as we can procure uniforms.
We have elected the officers already,
and can furnish a list of one hundreds
men. If called upon we can flght^Mfu
will fight. We do not expect any grand
ovation to be tendered to us, even if we
do fight; but ean only say to all who
are like Doubting Tom, "Stand aside,
and the colored man will do his duty,
even if he is refused a cot in a saml
bar hospital." The colored . man in
America is no savage now. He knows
how to ose a gun. He simply needs a
show in this war. If the Spaniards
would say that they would not light
the colored soldier, he would make him
fight. Still I can see no reason why
the colored man should he disgruntled
because he is not allowed to knock the
chip off Spain's head. The colored men
fought the American Indian and saved
their while brother, and mark you the
colored man Is very apt to be caliled
In to save him in this warfare, and we
stand ready. No. Mr. Editor, we have
not given up yet. We are still jog?
ging along In earnest. When I say we.
I speak for the company, for they have
been tested.
"Respectfully.
"A. W. e. bassettp:,
"Captain Kecoughtan Guards."
DISAPPOINTED POLICEMEN.
Thought They Were to Have New Uni?
forms Soon, But?
For more than a fortnight the police
of this city have been looking forward
with pleasant anticipation to the time
when they would be presented with
new uniforms. The town council went
so far, they claim, as to promise to re?
member them not only with new
clothes, including helmets, but now
pistols in the bargain. The order for
the regimentals was given to Clothier
Max Marcus.
But yesterday they learned from Mr.
Mrcus that they are not likely to get
the new clothes. At any rate he has
not sent in the order for them. When
asked why he had not done so the jolly
clothier replied that he had been in?
formed that there is not money enough
in the town treasurer's hands to pay
the bill. He would not say who had so
advised him. but the police declare
that they will find out. They insist
that in view of this fact that they re?
ceive but $45 a month for their work
the town authorities should set up new
toggery at least once a year. Other?
wise, they argue, their pay should he
equal to that of the Newport News of?
ficers, who receive $60.
MR. MASSENBIIRG'S DEATH.
He Was Born in This City Eighty-four
Years Ago.
News of the death of Mr. William
Massenburg, for many years an es
Massenburg, for many years an es?
teemed citizen of this city, reached here
Sunday. Mr. Massenburg resided in
Macoh, Ga. He passed away at the
ripe age of 84. The interment took
place, with Masonic honors, at 6 o'clock
Friday evening and was witnessed by
a large number of people.
William Massenburg was born in
Hampton Jaunnry 18, 1814. As a youth
he was popular with all who knew
him, and as young manhood came on
and he set out to face the stern realities
of life, he found himself happily sur?
rounded by a host of friends ready and
willing to aid him. For some time im?
mediately prior to his removal to
Georgia, which occurred in I860, Mr.
Massenburg conducted a combination
drug and hardware store at the corner
of King and King streets. on the
ground now occupied by the store of
Mr. E. G. Dnrden. Ho also served as
postmaster during the administration
of President Buchanan. Ho was distin?
guished for his painstaking interest in
the Masnoic fraternity, of which he
was a member for more than sixty
years. In Macon he and his son. Cap?
tain Tom Massenburg, entered the drug
business, but hardly had he become es?
tablished in his Georgia home when
death knocked at the door and took
away his wife. From that time on he
led a quiet lifo, seldom being seen on
the streets. His surviving children are
Captain T. L. Massenburg and Mr. C.
B. Massenburg, of Macon; Dr. R. C.
Massenburg, of Baltimore; Mr. William
Massenburg, of Atlanta, and Mrs.
George Beddlngeld and Mrs. J. R. Rice,
of Macon. He was a brother of Mrs.
Ann Booker, who died In this city re?
cently at the age ot 82 years, and was
an uncle of Mrs. Nannie Jones and
MMar?. Harry, Hunter, George and
John Booker, who reside here and at
Old Point.
Many amusing anecdotes are told
about him. His stern demeanor caused
him to be feared by the boys of the
town. On one occasion several lads
were amusing themselves In front of
his store by sticking the blades of tBelr
pen-knives Into the soft pine wood of
the window 3111. Mr. Massenburg ap?
peared unexpectedly on the scene and.
after praising the knives, asked the
boys to pass them to him that he might
examine them. They did so. whereupon
he pressed the blades deep into the
wood and one by one snapped them in
two.
"Now," said he, "you can't cut my
window with these knives. Then, after
gazing silently at the urchins until the
big tear drops began to roll dow n their
chubby cheeks, he added:
"If you boys will promise me never
to cut my window again, I'll give each
of you a new knife."
The promise was quickly made and
they went olt wondering what kind of
man "old 'Berg," as he was called, was
any way.
Mr. Daniel Mahone. the King street
druggist, was for a long time associat?
ed with Mr. Massenberg. It was the
intention of the venerable Hampton
ian to pay a visit to hie old home this
summer. He longed, he said, to see
again the friends and companions of
his early life, and expressed the wish
that when he died he might be laid
at rest In this city.
THE BRITISH CYCLE INDUSTRY.
In Great Britain there are 20.92-1
workers In cycle factories. More than

ployed in Ireland and 447 in Scotland
Children are excluded from the indus?
try.
CHILDREN'S PAY EXERCISES.
Children's Day was observed by the
Methodist churches of this city Sun?
day. An interesting program was
carried out at the First church in the
morning and was participated in by
many young people. The editlce was
prettily decorated for the occasion. The
exorcises were witnessed by a large
congregation.
At the West End church at S o'clock
in the evening it was impossible to ob?
tain standing room. The program,
which consisted of songs and recita?
tions, interspersed with congregational
singing, was much enjoyed and all who
took part in it acquitted themselves
very ceditably.

EDWARD BELLAMY DEAD.
Author of "Looking Backward" Passes
Away in Massachusetts.
SPRINGFELD. MASS., May 22.?Ed?
ward Bellamy, the author and humani?
tarian, died early this morning at his
home in Chicopee Falls, in the 40th
year of his age. Mr. Bellamy has been
in feeble health since he finished hia
"Equality," some eight months ago.
Indeed, not long before it was done he
had the most significant warnings that
his vital energies were being under?
mined, although it was not till August
that his physicians definitely tedd him
that one of his lungs was affected.
At the earnest solicitation of his
physicians and family, he resolved to
try the effect of the Colorado climate,
and early in September last removed
with his family to Denver. He receiv?
ed, however, little or no benefit from
the change, and since January had
been rapidly failing. When he recog?
nized that recovery was impossible, he
became very anxious to get back to his
old family homestead at Chicopee Falls,
Mass. His brothers went to Denver,
and on April 26 brought hlrn back,
very weak, but very peaceful, to his
old home.
BELLAMY'S LIFE AND WORK.
He was born at Chicopee Falls on
March 20, 1S5I), and was the third son
of Rev. R. K. Bellamy, for thirty-five,
years the pastor of the Baptist church
at Chicopee Falls. After finishing a
course at Union College, he completed
his education by a year of Europaon
travel and study, and by the study of
law. He was at 21 years of age ad?
mitted to the bar of Hampden county,
Massachusetts. From the legal pro?
fession he went into journalism and
for several years was assistant editor1
of the Springfield Union; from there he
went to New York City to accept a po?
sition as editorial writer on the New
Vork lCvening Post, where he was en?
gaged about one year, when he return?
ed to Springfield, and in co-partnor
ship with his brother, C. J. Bellamy,
started the Springfield Daily News.
Meanwhile he published "Six to One.
a Nantucket Idyl," "l>r. Heidenhofen
Process," "Miss Lndingfon's Sister,"
and other books. It was in 1SS8 that
his famous book "Looking Backward,"
was published, th? sal* ot which up to
the present time is over 450,000 copies
In America, and probably over half a
million of copies have been sold in Eng?
land and other foreign countroies.
"Looking Backward" has been trans?
lated into German, French, Russian,
Italian, Arabic, Bulgarian and several
other languages.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, May 23.?The level of
prices of stocks was lifted anothci
notch as a result of today's trading.
The dealings were not large and there
was no general activity in the market.
At the same time It was noticeable
that a number of unusually Inactive
shares were moved, and this gives the
market the appearance of a broadening
tendency which a closer analysis did
not confirm.
There was a good market for Amer?
icans in London, and prices were well
sustained on the belief that Spain
would shortly sue for peace. There
was a coincident rise of a point or
over in Spanish fours in London and
Paris. A rumor that this was due to a
pending Franco-Spanish alliance did
not hurt Americans in London. Trad?
ers realizing in the late dealings caused
a break of nearly four points in Pull?
man, of 2 1-2 In Consolidated Gas and
2 points in New York Air Brake. The
result was an unsettled closing, con?
siderably below the best In some cases
and with net gains as a rule only
small. The rates for money continued
to drop, and the desire for some evi?
dence of more active demand an Indi?
cating business activity being to aid
extend outside the circle of the money
lenders. The accumulation and hold?
ings of exchange resulted in a further
advance of quarter cent In the rate for
demand sterling, and 3-4 cent for sixty
days bills. Discount rates declined in
London, Berlin, and Paris In conse?
quence of the release of these centers
from the pressure of exchangs for New
York.
