DECEMBER 2(1, 1000. f j bcasUd ol mi England has all along great lighting powers and yet with an ; army of about ten to one she is unable i ;he is unable i which Lord ! to finish the Boer war Roberts reported as ended several weeks ago. The old country should send a few more of her brilliant men over iliere at once. There is out: thing to be said in favor of some of the trust ,millionairoK, and that is the amount of money, they give for charity and other purposes. John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil man, has just given $1 ,500.000 to the University of Chicago, which makes over Sll.OOO.OOO that he has that institution. riven to Secretary Root wants to do all the lobbying himself that is cone by the war department: consequently lie has sent a circular letter to the army otli cers who are at, the head of bureaus in that department, calling their at tention to an army regulation -"Efforts to influence legislation alTecting the army should never lie made except through regular military channels." and directing that all communications that army officers desire sent to con moss shall be forwarded through him. Although the army reorganization bill has not yet been reported from 111. senate committee em military af fairs, and is not likely to bo until after the Christmas recess, which will be from December 21 until January .'!, the republicans are already swooping down on Mr McKinley with demands ol promises of appointments that will be made when that bill becomes a law, and it is said that some republican sen ators have intimated to him that they will not allow the hill to go through unless their demands for pap are met. The downfall of David Callahan, of New llavtm. should be a lesson to all men who have the handling of other people's money. Callahan was a goo I fellow generally, and was popular, as was shown by the honors be had thrust upon him. Unfortunately lor him. he allowed hiuise!'' to use money not his own. expecting to be able to replace it before tin accounting Was called for. It. came sooner than he expected, and as a result his bondsman hail to make good t''e loss, and he. himself, is forced to seek a livelihood bv other means than as a lawyer. Not so much is heard nowatlays about "new parties, or reorganizing the democratic party as was floating around a few weeks after election. The editor of the New England Demo crat, in discussing this iuesti;n. says that various plans are now under con sideration for the union of all reform forces and opposed to liie republi can party. It is ' probable that most of these plans will fail. The one thing their promoters have in common is ex position to republican policies, but there must be something more than mere opposition to form the basis of a powerful party and it is plain that any successful opposition to the re publicans must be ii power!' id organ ization. The great -trouble with re- formers is that they want to 'accom plish everything at once, that they do not learn from history as they should that such things are accomplished slowly, a little at a time, gaining a lit tle here anel a little there. They are rather disposed to insist on their own pet ideas and t; refuse to unife with any others who do not absolutely agree with them. If the opposition to repub licanism could be united it would sweep the country. It is sufficiently powerful (o drive everything before it. The only existing organization promis ing any hope of success is the demo cratic party. It does not suit all Ihe reformers. It is not radical enough to meet all demands. But it com prises some seven millions of voters and requires no large additions to elrive the republicans from power. That is the first thing to be accomplished. No reform can make progress in this coun try so long" as the party of Hanna is in power. The efforts of. all the re form forces liow ought to be devoted to building up the democratic party. It is the hope of the country's salva tion...

Ilartford Times iVBRAMAM HAARSCHER, FOEDIER "At Fort Sheridan yesterday Abra haiu Ilaarscher,- a soldier of the Unit ed States army of twenty years' ser vice, shot and killed himself mar the post flagstaff." Chicago -daily papers of November Id. This brief little paragrapu was. prac tically the only obituary notice given to one of -the best soldiers who ever wore a uniform and to a man whose l:fe, although it lay aloiijr the linos of the. simple duties of an enlisted man, was in many ways remarkable. Ab raham Ilaarscher thirty-two years ago was a soldier of France. lit' was an Alsatian by birth and under the flag of the empire he fought through the Franco-Prussian war. At the end of the disastrous conflict, when Haarscher found that his native prov- ince had become a spoil to the enemy. Wo, ,l,1,!,urevo,l He left, his (.0,!nt;.v a,1(1 cnlue to America, enlist- in., m the United States army could then do under the law. jn. m tiie United States army, as he linme- diately upon his arrival. I mil me day of his death last week at Fort Sheridan Abraham Ilaarscher never passed an hour, save when on his oc casional leaves of absence, beyo"Hl sight of the flag that marked either camp or garrison of Uncle Sam. Abraham Ilaarscher carried one record that is probably unique in the histories of the armies of the workl. In twenty-nine years' service, although a model of neatness, discipline and in- te iigence. lie never wore tne stripe oi a non-commissioned officer. He elid not know what the inside of a guard I house.' lookeel like from a prisoner's! point of view. There was no soldier I in -camp or barracks whose rifle and equipments were like unto his. At i guard mount the neatest soldier is al- I wavs chosen for the duties of orderly ! tn 'the . omniamliny officer. When' Ilaarscher was eletailcel for guard no man thought of competing with him. Time after time he was offered tile position of non-commissioned otti cer. and time after time he refused. Why no one ever knew. During the course of his twemty-nine years as one of Uncle Sam's soldiers Ilaarscher saw service in four different regimemtsi ami against every form of foe that his adopted country, had to face during the yews covered by his French na livity. One night, at a far northwest ern garrison he was walking post as a, sentinel upon a frail temporary bridge thrown across a stream. The ends of the structure marked the ends of his beat. A storm arose in suelden fury. Tiie stream rose rapielly and the bridge began to give way. Ilaar scher kept on walking his post. The timbers were cracking under his fee-t and the water was beginning to e-reep over the planking, when an officer et' the elay appeared at the end of the bridge. lie saw the sentinel and his peril. "Come off that bridge, No 5." he ye-lled above the' storm. Ilaarscher "walked calmly off Ihe bridge ami came to an "arms port." "Ilaiirseher. you d d fool, didn't you know the' bridge was going?" Even as iie spoke the frail structure' was whirled away. "That was my post, lieutenant." said Private Ilaarscher, "and you for get that I am a Frenchman." Private Ilaarscher was a dandy. Tiie neatness of his equipment has been told. Once a man who hael the reputation of never having lost the po sition of "orderly"' at guard mount, came from another regiment and re-en- listod in Haarscher's command. The two privates, as luck would have it. wore detailed for guard tiie same elay. The whole garrison turned tint to see which one the adjutant would pick for the coveted place. The officer spent about twenty minutes examining the rifles, waist belts, cartridge boxes and brasses ef the two men. There was absolutely nothing to choose between them in point of neatness of appear ance. Finally, as a last resort, the adjutant unbuttoned the blouse of the new claimant for orderly honors, lie found a somewhat faded but clean un dershirt. The adjutant passetl to ilaarscher ami opened three buttons of his coat. Ilaarscher had on a brand new suit of silk underwear that must have e-ost him a month's pay. It was tht other man en that elay who walked post in the hot sun. while Ilaarscher did "lolling" duty in the shade in front of the commandant's quarters. The morals of the Franco-American soldier we're like his rifle at guard mount spotless. There were no low camp or garrison intrigues for him. He was a pleasure lover, however, and i he joined in all the entertainments that went to lighten the evenings or the soldier's life. At no dance or "hop" under the auspices eif Company A" was there any particularly attend ing maiden singled out for the atten tions of Private Haarsche r. lie went The rounds and danecel with all. Dur ing the years he saw his cennrades marry and leave' the service. They told him his elay would come. He laugheel at them. For twenty-eight years he went on in bis but little vary- lng-pnlh or duty, witn occasional turn ings aside into the ways of pleasure. Then this supposeelly confirmcel old bachelor soldier fell in love. He met the sister of a former comraele-. She was thirty years his junior. To this girl be gave all the intensity of love that had marked through the long years his devotiem to duty. He was utterly changeel. The soldier who had faced unharmed the bullets of Apache. Sioux and Spaniard was at last wound ed by a tiny shaft from the bow of the pygmy Cupiel. No woman ever had more elevoted lover than Hint vet eran. One night last week he went to her home in Lake Forest ami told her. He spoke with the same, spirit in which he had replieel to the officer of the elay when be was ordered from bis post on the britlge on that awful night near the headwaters of the Mis souri. The girl's answer was no, anel Ilaarscher knew that she meant it. Private Ilaarscher left Lake Forest anel went to his quarters at Fort Sherieian. In a few moments lie left the barracks and Avalketl across one corner of the paratle grounel. He took one last look at the flag fluttering at the masthead and eneleel bis life with a bullet. A coward's eleath, some may say. No braver soldier thnn Abraham Ilaarscher ever wore a uniform. This statement is born not of -belief only but of the knowledge of one -who was elael to call him comrade. Edward B. Clark., in Chicago Record.

Edward Ciubihy, Jr., 15 years old, son of Edward A. Ctul nhy, millionaire' packer and head of the Cudahy Packing company of Omaha, is missing frciu his home hi this city, and his' parents believe he has been kidnaped. The entire police and detective force of the e-ity and half a hundred men employ ed by Mr. Cudahy have been scouring the city and country throughout the day in hopes of locating the young man or Fccuring a clew w!iie-h would lead to a knowledge of his whereabouts, but with out success. Business at Mr. Cudnhy's packing plant in South Omaha was practically suspended yesterday, nearly the entire force there joining in the search. The boy's parents arc distracted tit his disappearance, and the father has offered to pay a substantial reward and no questions asked if his soil shall be returned to his home. An anonymous letter has been received at the Cudahy home substantiating the fears of the lamily that he hns been Kienappci. Young Cuduhy left home at 8 o'clock Tuesday night to take some books to the residence of Captain Rustin,. about two blocks distant, and that was the last seen of him. As-midnight arrived and he did not return the police were notitied, and two detectives were detailed to work " the case. It was not until nearly l o'clock yesterday morning, however, that the matter began to assume a really serious aspect. At that hour a inan on horseback rode rapidly by the Cudahy mansion, and. as ha passed the front gate he threw a letter into the yard. A servant took the letter into the house, where it was read. It w:is in substance: "Mr. E. A. Cnelahy Your son is safe. We have him und will take good care of him and will return him to you in con sideration of the payment of $25,000. We mean business. JACK." The remainder o the note the police refuse at present to disclose, as they say it relates to the; piaee where the money is to be left anel where the kidnapers are to leave the boy in case Mr. Cudahy complies with their terms. The servant who saw the man on horseback was able to give a good description of him. nnd tins is the- clew upon which the police are working at present. Of a studious turn of mind, the young man was much devote-d to his home and was idolized " by his parents, being the only boy in a family of five children. Mr. Cud ihy says lie is willing to pay a liberal reward for the return of his son. As to the anonymous letter, however, he is undecided.--as to whether' it emanates from the kidnapers or from some crank who threwit in the yard with no pur pose other than creating a furore. As to the methods employed in the kidnaping but little is known at present, but it is believed by some that young Edward was decoyed away through the icfctrumcntiility of a boy sibout his own age, as two youths, one of whom an swered the description of young Cudahy, were seen on a Le-avenworth street car west bound shortly before midnight.

A remarka ble case of entire restoration of sight after years of total blindness comes from Kenton county, Ky., near here. The ex perience is that of the Rev. J. W. lies, assistant at the Deeoursey Methodist Episcopal church on Deeoursey creek. Mr. lies is 27 yenrs old. At the age of 17 he had an attack of measles and in four years his sight had vanished. He said: "About four years ago 1 was married without ever having seen my bride. One evening recently after church service a i number of the brethren and sisters went S to Brother Wade's little log house, and I all prayed earnestly for a return of my sight. Two of the friends put their hands on ray head, when in the midst of the prayer four scales or cataracts fell off my eyes, and I saw my wife and my little child for the iirst time in my life."
