Army Expenditure.

A Communication in the New York
 Herald, of late date, referring to cer-
 tain exhibits of army expenditures,
 made recently by the Herald's Wash
 ington correspondent, recognizes the
 ability with which that correspondent
 has grssped the subject, and suggests
 few points upon which the country
 generally is desirous of information.
 The communication continues:
 The Herald correspondent has touch
 ed upon some of the abuses resulting
 from 8 staff, ineffective, cumbersome
 and expensive, not only from its num-
 bers but its rank. Let him, as he
 evidently has or can get access to the
 records, inform the country where the
 seventy-nine officers of the Quarter
 masters Department are stationed,
 and what duty they are performing.
 Let him show into how many unneces- ssry districts the Eastern States have
 been divided-wheels within wheels to give nice places to those favorites of the war department. Let him show how many or how few of them are do- ing legitimate duty as quartermssters at military posts, and not omit to make a comparison of the cost of such duties when performed by 8 lieutenant of the line with his two or three as- sistants, and when by regular staff quartermsster with hls corps of clerks, wagon masters, forage masters, corral masters, messengers, &c. Let him show how many of these colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors, sur rounded each by staff sufficient for the General commanding the army, are performing duties for which al single shipping clerk would think himself amply compensated by al salary of $I00 per month. Passing toI the medical department, let him show where the army of 222 commissioned doctors are stationed; how the pleasant Eastern cities are crowded with these gentlemen, while their legitimate duties with troops are performed by citizen physicians, hired at enormous expense. Let him also show the cost of maintaining 109 commissioned officers of engineers. no less than forty two of whom are field officers. Let him show the country what msgnif- icent works these gallant officers and most accomplished engineers are en- gagged in, but how little they have to do with the army and how wrong 1t is tc tax the army with the cost of works which rebound to the credit and benefit of the commercial and other in terests rather than to the military esta blishment. Let him show what the v officers (17 field officers) and i55 enlisted men of the Ordance De- partment are doing; how that depart ment Is working to give itself line as we'll as staff organization, each con- mander of an arsenal being a little surrounded by his staff and guards. The superfuity of rank and of the staff of our army leads oar rogance, inefficiency, idleness and lemoralization. Each officer has so little to do that he loses all interest in lis profession, and soon turns over hat little to some clerk or assistant.

Secret of a Gamblers Success.

John NJ. Cozad, now retired from
 tbe sporting arena, says the Conner ioial, was one of the most successful
 of Cincinnati gamblers in his time,
 and strange to say, his success was not in backing or dealing games, but Tn
 playing against them. For several
 years after he became full-Hedged
 faro player, he was the terror of all
 the games he played against, almost
 uniformly winning largely every
 play he made. His success continu- { ing to the utter demorahzation of the
 men he played against, 1t was finally concluded by all the dealers that he
 was either possessed of some secret
 charm from the Almighty or in league
 with the devil, and he was barred off altogether-that Is, none of them
 would allow him to play against their
 games. Now the fact Is that Cozad
 was neither protected from on high nor
 from below, nor was he able to eX- ercise any charm of magic, over theI checks he pitted his own against. But he was gifted witha singularly keen eye and a remarkably retentive mem ory. By the aid of the former heI was able to detect any peculiarity in the scroll-work or towering on the backs of the cards ss the dealer shuf- fled them, and by the latter was ca plble of so arranging such peculiari- ties in his mind as to have @ perfect knowledge of their faces on seeing their backs. This was his great and only percentage against faro banks. It is said by gamblers that no two cards in a square deck of ifty-two cards are exactly alike, and Cozad so watched the cards and memorized their peculiarities that, in the two deals he was bound to know twelve or fourteen of them. This knowl- edge, of course, gave him big pull against the turn of the last three cards ill the box, and he would keep the run of the known cards through the deal, and if he caught any of them in the turn, he would "call the turn" sure, and win hundreds of dollars. The only way the gamblers had to stand him off on the remarkable faculties he possessed was to change cards every deal, and, when that was done, Cozad stood them off by uot playing at all.
 He has not been identified with the gambling fraternity for some years now, having taken to real estate speculation as a better investment than faro or poker. The money he invested against faro he invested with a shrewdness which marks him as the : same close calculator he was when playing against bank" and to-day, besides owning q large amount of val lable city property, he has town named after him in the suburbs of l Joncinnati, "Cozsddale, and another { growing up in Nevada, known as Jozad City.

Indian Contract Claims.

Recent Washington correspondence in the St. Louis Republican states that a subcommittee of the committee on Indian affairs consisting of Messrs. Seelye, Boone and Sparks has been appointed to consider the question of providing for the adjudication of a large class of claims growing out of contracts made by Indian agents with out authority of law III cases of exi- gency. An example is the claim of one Marshall for six or eight thousand beef cattle furnished by order of h. dian Agent Mckee. The beef was absolutely needed, was honestly fur nished, and the claim is perfectly equi- table, but there was no appropriation therefor, and the contractor has gone unpaid for twenty-five years. These claims ought to be paid, but the con- mlttee cannot examine them all proper ly, and the present purpose Is to deter mine what tribunal shall have iuris- dictlon over them, thus avoiding 8 great detail of special legislation.

IN New York city, where the con- pulsory education law has been in force, the first annual report of the Superintendent of Truancy has just been made. This officer had during the year returned to school nearly 4OOO children, who hand been taken thence by absolute or foolish parents, or had idled off on their own account, and nearly all of whom were engaged in vicious practices from which education alone could save them. It is further shown that when properly and judi ciously administered the law is not unpopular, but that, on the contrary, the public have in one year come to understand and appreciate it so well the Trusnt Superintendent finds as sistsnce instead of hindrsnce even in the lowest quarters. Since the law was put in force the daily average at tendance upon the schools has risen 6,5l5, and that ot the industrial schools 1909, making a total of 7,-I 614 children who have been taken from the ranks of the ignorant and compelled to take the first steps in &C., quiring knowledge.
