Congress (Muses to Strike Out
Allowance for Encampment.
WILL MVe OHE MILLION DOLLARS
'Representative Hay of Virginia Spok;.
Against the Measure?<Grosvcncr
Tells oi*" Incidents That Occurred
in His Town.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 0.?
By a vote of 27 to 5 the House in
committee of wliolu today, having
the army appropriation hill under
cc rldcration, refused to strike o."{
an Item of one million dollarj for
the purpose of payins the exneuscs
o-; regiments', battailous, squad' on i
pud batteries, organizations and mil
itin who participate In such bri?
gade or division encampments as
may be established for the Heia in?
su action of the troops of the reg?
ular army.
Representative Hay of Virginia In?
sisted thai the practice did not
arnciint to much and said so far as
tho manoeuvers held in Virginia
were concerned, they were a farce.
He contended that the encampment
was of llttl" good to the National
government nnd expressed the opin?
ion that they should not be held
of toner than once every two years.
charge of tho bill said that he did
not approve of the large manoeuvre
because ho did not believe the Nat?
ional government received any bene?
fit /
At this point tho debate, took
on a wide range, Representative
Grosrcnor of Ohio, enlivening the
bourse by relating the story of the
encampment held last summer near
his home in Athens, Ohio. He said
there, was always an irritation and
conflict between farmers' sons and
merchants' clerks and men of the
regular army. Same trouble hap?
pened in Athens and a soldier of
the reguy.tr battery was'' arrested i
for being drunk and disorderly,
friend located him in jail. That
night GO or 7" members of the bat-!
tefy, to which the prisoner lir
longed, sliped out .of camp, organized
themselves into a small force;
marched up to the t?wn and into
Hie jail yard, ami as they were
a bout to attack, a guard of infantry!
commanded by a young ofliicor, a
corporal or a sergeant of the State
^guard, ordered them to halt. Fifty
or sixty shots were fired and thr:*vj
fell dead In the street.
"There never was a man punish?
ed for anything connected with it,"
said Mr. Grosyeno'r. "There was
nevor an officer called upon fo
report -and Ihore never was any
report made by the captain or other
commanding officer of that regi
ment and the.* feeble attempt of
the local authorities to punish the
men who committed cold murder
was futile."

DRESS OF THE ESKIMO.
Hndc hy the Women Ki-oin tlw si.In*
of Northwru AiiiiuulH.
The chief material of the clothing- o\t
the Eskimo Is the skin of the reiuUaer,
which Is ?seil la various stages of pel
ugo or tahulug. Fine, short haired
summer sklus, especially those of iloes
arid fawns, are used fur making dress
garments and underclothes. The heav?
iest winter skins furnish extra warm
Jackets for cold weather. The white
spoiled skins of the tame Siberian rein?
deer are especially valued for full
dress jackets.
The skins of the whlto mountain
sheep, white anil blue fox, wolf, dog,
ermine and lynx, are sometimes made
Into clothing. Underjuckeis of eider
duck skins nre often pressed Into serv?
ice. Sealskin dressed with the hair on
Is used only for breeches and boots,
and for those rarely. Of late years
drilling and calico have been Intro?
duced Into the makeup of some of the
minor garments.
The dress of the men consists of a
loose hooded frock without opening ex?
cept at the ueck and wrists. 1 This
reaches Just- over the hips and very
rarely to tnidthlgu, where it la cut off
square and usually confined by a girdle
at the waist. Under this garment Is ]
worn a similar one of lighter skin nud
sometime.1) without a hood. The thighs '
are clad In one or two pairs of tight
lilting knee brooches, rattier loose, but
fitted to the shupc of the leg. They aro
very low In front, but are much higher
behind, Bomctluics as high as the small
of the buck. They are held In place by
a girdle or thong nround the waist and
are usually fastened below the knee
over the hoots with a drawstring.
On the legs und Teet nro worn, first, a
pair of loin,' deerskin stockings, with
the hair inside, then slippers of tanned
sealskin, In the bottom which Is spread
a layer of whalebone shnvlngs and out?
side a pair of close Utting boots, held In
place by n string around the ankle,
which reaches above the knee and
cads with a rough edge covered by tho
brooches; Dress boots often end In an
ornamental border, with drawstring
Just below the knee. The boots are of
reindeer skin, with white sealskin
soles far -winter and dry weather, but
In summer waterproof boots of white
whnloskln are worn. Overshoes of the
same material, reaching just above tho
ankles, are .sometimes worn over the
winter boots.
The women wonr tight fitting deer?
skin pantaloons, with the hair noxt,.Ui<r'
skin, iiml outside of these.n-Slmilar
pair made of the skins'Train deer legs,
with the hair out, and having solos of j
sealskin, but no ankle strings. Tho
Women's pantaloons, like tho.'-o of tho
men, are fastened with n girdle just
above the hips. It appears that they i
do not stay up very well, as the wo-1
men nre continually hitching them up I
and tightening their girdles, like some
old sailor.
Until they reach manhood the boys
wear pantaloons Ilka tho women, but
their jackets are cut just like those of
the men.
The well to do Eskimos generally own
seven!I complete suits of clothes and
present n neat appearance when not
engaged In dirty work. The poorer j
das-ps wear one suit for all occasions [
until it becomes shabby. New clothes 1
nre seldom put on till winter. The
outer (rock is not often worn In the
Iglu, or hut home, being usually takeu
off before entering the room.
At present there Is in such thing as
an Eskimo tailor, for the women of
each Eskimo household usually make
the garments of all the members of the
family. Not only this, but the Eskimos j
are extremely conservative in the mat- !
tor of changes in the style of their rai?
niest and respond very slowly to the
modernizing Influences In this partlc?
I lar which have reached their nelghbor
I hood.
Convict RCRllUCIltS.
At the beginning of the eighteenth
century the British army bad a bad
.cputntlon at home, and It was very
difficult to gtl r?druits for It. For this
reason It was officially proposed to find
the men by an impressment fulling on
"any sturdy beggar, fortune* teller or
the like idle, unknown, suspected fel?
low In the parish; or, if there bo none
such, then any one that has already
been la it gaol or before a justice of tho
peace for his idle, disorderly life." The
advice was acted upon. Debtors were
released froin prison on promising to
Jolu the army or the navy, criminals
were pardoned on the so mo terms, and
persons with no visible means of sub- |
sistence were marched off to death and 1
glory. The system worked out better
lliau might have been expected. In the
peninsular war, for instance, three now
regiments were composed entirely of
convicts, and one made for Itself an il?
lustrious name.
A'otv T: : .:>ir.il il .VuiloK-on.
The hostility of New Engl?nders to
tho first Kapolcon was sincere and
deep. A remarkable Instance of this
feeling is to l>e found in the manner in
: which the townsmen of Boston receiv?
ed the news of his first abdication. The
i incident has been brought to notice
? through an interesting exhibit in the
historical collections of the public li?
brary of that city. It Is n ticket ad?

(hit they were Indlnpenatiblo to tho
belles of <dd time to the Clocks 1111(1

Olive oil M?s the most luxurious, as|

used it in a hundred ways. Olive oil Is]
??Uli oliv ? eil. though not so many peo?
ple recognize it> value except us an In?
gredient of salad dressing.
It Is excellent lor the digestion and
may be taken In doses of from one to
nine or more toaspoonfuls n day. Some
people Und It is distasteful taken (dear.
In that ease it may be disguised In
wine or lemonade or some pleasant
drink, which of itself should ngrce with

Olive oil is a good Mesh builder. If,

Olive oil Is used in a hundred other
