BADNESS IN TIE ARMY


 It seems that army officers Tn and about Washington are raising the very old nick" scarcely week passes but some new developments unfavorable to the character of army officers are brought out. But short time ago Colonel Nicker1oni siruptously and as IS alleged fraudglently obtained divorce from his wife, who was absent in Europe, and immediately married another woman. Major Wasson. pay master in the army, and a graduate of West Point, turned up a defaulter to a large amount. During the past week other scandals Of even a more serious nature have become the town talkof Washington, which seems to be the place above all others where the army officers fall into bad habits.
 The officers have club room in Washington; 1t Is quite a tony affair, and of course It costs something to keep ap a membership, and do the things that become necessary to be done in order to take high social position in the club. First the officer must have money: second, he must have a thorough Knowledge of poker; third, he must be successful in his winnings. If, how ever he does not possess these necessary qualifications, he is liable to get into serious Trouble when his money gives out
 Colonel Marrow IS a recent victim of the army poker club. The fact has come to light that he has sold his pay account Co three or four banking concerns which make a practice ot discountiDg such paper. This of course will put the Colonel under a cloud for a time, and be may be court nartialed. Gambling is an express violation of the articles of War, but the average court martial of the army operates much the same as the trial cf ministers by christian sects and often result in hiding the sins of the cnl- pri- from the public. IL is said that of AA.lrl1 LII -l 1A EdLlh bClblE tb L44t lphtL club of Washington, and that others may ba implicated If Morrow IS pressed too hard. But after ali t is really no fault of army officers that they engage .n such pastime. We have too many officers and too h-tle for them to do, they are the same as other people. They must have something to do, and If they have no capacity 5or study, OF no am biu5n above the rotIne Of ordi- nary army lIfe, then such pastime as isof- fered ID Washington club rooms to do is about The only thing left for them. There they can have a quIet tipple, play a hand and the meddlesome world wiIknow nothing about it,and though It na~ be contrary to the articles of wal, like prohibition laws they will not apply, uR- les those who are most interested en- force tla laws

ALong.Forgolten Pension.

\ case seldom pardlleted lu the pen siou annals Of thIs country has recently come tn hght m the pension office. In 1883 soldier attached to a Connecticut regiment received a gunshot wound which incapacitated him from further service He applied for aid, bu: dunng the consideration of the application left home His father received the certIh- icate, and when the boy came home he paid DO attention tO the mstter. Mean while. under the provisions of section 4.7l9 of the pension laws, which pro vides that pension undrawn Tor three years shall lapse, the pensiouer was dropped from the rolls. \ short time ago the father dIei, and in examining his papers the soldier son discovered hIs certificate. 1t struck him then that he would not constitute any longer the brigade of one who did not draw the pensions to which they were entitled. So he applied for restoration papers, and the case IS on Commissioner Dud ley's desk. As the disability still exists the soldier will be restored to the rolls and will receive quite handsome sum.
 "A very singular case, general said the reporter to Commissioner Dudley.
 "N0t very usual" was the reply. But then in 1863 and for long time af terward the ~oldiers generally did not pay much attention to the fact that uu- der certain circumstances they couli draw pay from the government. They thought more of saving the country than of money" Washington RepUb- iican
