If the reports concerning the p r- j formance of Sylvester Scovel at San? tiago are correct the military authori? ties should take that young man In hand and make an example of him. No one objects to enterprise in a news? paper correspondent. As a matter of fact, it is the very thing all intelligent persons expect in him, but there Is a good deal of difference between enter? prise and the theatrical freaks prac? ticed by journalists of the Scovel type. It Is ditlicult to understand how the in? terests of his paper could have been enhanced by the fact that he forced himself where lie had no business and where he was not wanted. According to authorities on military affairs Scovel may be arrested for in? subordination and assault upon a su? perior officer. Tlie penalty for this in actual war times is death. While most I people would regret to see the extreme I penalty visited upon the World man, there can be no doubt that he should be given a lesson that will last him to his dying day. It is creditable to the craft that only two of the correspondents who follow? ed the army to the front have displayed any inclination to abuse tlie privileges bestowed upon them. Richard Hard? ing Davits passed a number of severe strictures upon General Shutter, which subsequent events have failed to justi? fy. In the ease of each of these ambi? tious young gentlemen. General Shatt? er should exercise his authority in a manner which will convince them that they are not assailing and lampooning a ward politician. It must be pretty plain by this time to those who intelligently follow the operations of the army that tlie moat difficult tiling about war is not fighting, but the feeding of the lighters. The feeders really have harder work than the lighters, and yet hardly ever are mentioned or even thought of by the great public who are spectators of the game of war.?Pittsburg Times. The reason for this is obvious. The feeder usually gets profit through his contracts for furnishing food to the ar? my, while the fighters naturally receive part of their pay in honor and admira? tion of their fellows. The feeders un? doubtedly deserve credit, but the aver? age American finds no difficulty to get up a very enthusiastic feeling for the fellow who works so much on business principles. While the famous Spanish "priva? teer" turned out lo be' the most silly kind of a "bogey" man, the Incident was valuable In that it showed that England, the most powerful maritime nation in the world, stands ready lo call any piratical bluff that may be made by .Spain or any other nation.

It was the opening of their Joint sea- I son; they had beei rusticating during ] the vacation and were both brown as i i berries. Nye looked much like an ! Othello in Iiis sunburned make-up. and Riley suggested to him tlie application j of some "liquid white." a cosmetic much affected by the gentler sex of tlie profession. Nye sent for the preparation, and never having used anything uf tin1 kind before, lie tilled the palm oi Iiis hand wil.ii it ami carelessly smeared ii over his countenance. There was no mirror in his very primitive dressing-room, ami Riley was beautifying himself on tin' other side of the stage. 'Che "liquid white" dried out some? what like white-wash, and when Nyo appeared before the audience lie was a sight to behold. His head looked like a frosted top-piece on a wedding cake; his face, white as tlie driven snow, was expressionless and blank. The audience shrieked, and when he came Off from Iiis tir.it .selection they de? manded iiis reappearance. He obliged them to howls of laughter; again he made his exit, ami again was rede mainled by the uproarious audience. Believing lie had made a hit, he was about returning to the stage, when lie was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nye, who cried: "William Edgar Nye, what have you got on your face?" "Nothing but its usual expression, my dear." "Expression ? fiddlesticks! You're a fright." cried his wife, and leading him to where there was a piece of broken looking-glass, showed him how he looked. Nye was mortified, and. catching sight of Riley just about going on the stage, he would have undoubtedly fol? lowed him on and been revenged but for the intervention of Mis. Nye. , His head was scraped, combed, and washed, and his next selection was read without "a hand" from tlie au? dience. Moreover, the story is a fact, uud not a press agent's c<.oc.tiou.
