He quotes the statute and regulations by which the general staff is authorized, and con tinues: ‘■ft will be perceived that we are here providing for civilian control over the military arm, but for civilian control to be exerdsed through a single military expert of high rank, who is provided with an adequate corps of professional as sistants to aid him in the performance of his duties.

There have been a few ( ases of serious disturbance in the smal ler towns and rural districts which have result! and in some loss of life and property. The lawless element generally consists of roving bands. A number of conflicts have occurred during the year between these lawless bands and the Philippine scouts, in which the scouts have con ducted themselves admirably.

Ralph J Croll, first fireman un the United Slates battleship Alabama, does not believe in protracted courtships. He met, wooed and won a bride within lwo hours. Croll, being granted shore leave, went to York, Pa., to visit Ids parents. He attended the York county fair on the closing day. There he met Miss Riffle Snyder, of Uainbridge, Pa.. While on a visit to liainbridge Croll had seen and admired the young woman there, but he had never met her according to social forms On the fair grounds the two met and there was a formal intro duction by a friend. The new acquaint ance chatted vivaciously and matri mony came under discussion. “Why don’t you get married?” asked Miss Snyder of the sailor. "I would,” returned Croll, “if I could gel a charming girl like yourself to have me.” “Have you ever asked a girl to mar ry you?” was Miss Snyder’s next query. “No, hut 1 am going to ask one now,” said ('roll, (oinmg quickly to the point. Will you he my wife?” "Yes,” was the blushing girl's reply.

I he man had been a habitual uset uf the wied before the accident which deprived him of his speech, but after ward the habit became annoying to him and made him sick This caused him to quit the habit i ntirely. Acting on the dream, he took a chew of to bacco Sunday morning, and a few hours afterward lie was able to make slight vocal sounds. Ho kept on chewing and soon was able to talk.

It is more than likely that at the com ing session of congress an appropria tion will be made for the construction of a derelict destroyer for the bureau of navigation of the department of com merce and labor. A vessel of this sort would not cost more than $200,000, and Bhould he an enlarged model of the pres ent ocean-going tug, Its mission being the towing to shore of derelicts rather than their demolition on the high seas. About a decade ago a proposition to have the several powers cooperate In the construction of such a vessel met with a decided repulse at the hands of (he European countries which were in vited to enter Into the scheme, the Unit ed States being as good as told that the large majority of the derelicts that were encountered on the Atlantic by liners and merchants’ vessels were boats of this country, and that It was the busi ness of the United States to destroy them and not to suggest that other na tions assist in the work. Although this was in a large measure (rue, the menace of such abandoned ves sels was as great to other maritime na tions as to the United States, and this country at that time thought that those placed in jeopardy should take upon their shoulders a portion of the cost of ridding the seas of them. Nearly all of the abandoned vessels found in the lanes of the Atlantic and along the coast of the United States are lumber-laden American schooners. The character of their cargoes prevents their sinking, and they float about the ocean a con stant menace to commerce. As an old member of the bureau of navigation said: “They are the only craft permit ted to sail the high seas without lights,” The United States has reached the con clusion that the onus lies here, and fol lowing up this will probably provide for the vessel to rid our coast of them, Ularair of Xnml Officers.

To determine the extent, to which handwriting discloses the sex of the writer. Prof. Benet. lias appealed for data to the two most prominent graphologists in France, Messrs. Oremierex Jamin and Eloi. He lias colleuJed samples of the writing of all manner of individuals— servants, professional people, savants and school girls—for comparison. The result shows that the feminine gender expresses itself in the following char acteristics, though these are not in fallible: A woman makes the “s.” “r,” and "p” higher than the other small let ters, and in general makes her letters less compactly than a man. She also exhibits many oilier peculiarities in forming letters.

A picturesque scheme of eastern and London capitalists has been unfolded at Cheyenne, Wyo., the consummation of which entails the building of a city in what is now the wilds of Wyom ag, with no railroad wltkln 78 miles of thf site. The syndicate having the matter in charge has secured possession of thou sands of acres of lands In the central part of the state, and proposes to build a city which will be the capital of the state. A statehouee. university, peni tentiary. Insane asylum and other state buildings will be built and donated to the state in return tor the location of the state capital at the new point. The laws of the state require that the state capital be locaed next year by popular vote. A campaign will be en tered upon at once by the syndicate to insure the vote in favor of the ore I.orgeat Can Factory. Probably the largest can factory in the world is that of the Standard Oil company at Long Island City, at which 70.000 five-gallon cans are made from Welch tin each day for the export kerosene trade.
