is changed every season in order to satisfy the
supposed demand for novelty. For example

Specializing on Ilges' Fate.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
August 13.-As the formation OF the
court which tried Col. Ilges was ordered
by the president, final review and ac-
ton in the case will be taken by him.
The record has been put in shape by
the Judge advocate, and is ready for pre-
sentation to the president. The judge
advocate will not disclose the finding OF
the court, but if it is against Col. Ilges
there is reason to believe that the presl-
dent will not be inclined to reverse the
decision. Gen. Ruggles, who was for
merly or Gen. Terry's staff, and recent
~ acting adjutant general OF the army,
said to-day in the presence of an ex-of-
fcer, who is authority for the statement,
that he had little hope for Col. Ilges, at
the hands of the president. He had re-
Gently a conversation with the president
on the case, and the president said in
very positive language that he intended
to put a stop to the practice of duplicat-
ing pay accounts.
"But, Mr.. PRESIDENT said a gentle
man present, none of Ilges' accounts
were presented to the paymaster except
those on which he was paid"
"It makes no difference" replied the
president. s'The offense consists in as
signing accounts to outside persons and
then drawing pay for the same periods.
I intend to put a stop to the practice"
The inference is, that if the court rec
ommends dismissal, Col. Ilges. cannot
hope for executive clemancy. 1t was
said by an official in the judge advo-
Gates office to-day that the pleas made
by Col. Ilges in his defence are consid-
cred very strong and as opening new
points in military law.

'sThis new blood won't amount to any

Roberts. Mackey has considerable
wealth and his name will go a great way
in that respect. For the sake of the
stockholders I hope they will fare better

idated Virginia and California mines

were interested in those mines with Mr..

stockholders was that we could not see

the young lady and family, who seemed
about equal in their gratitude and praise.

young lady appears to have called into
requisition the qualities OF the expert

c%ongenital defect in her constitution
which settled in her eyes, and after
MANY years Of suffering, rendered her.

doctors with no benefit; they pronounced
her i%ncurable, audit Wasdecided to send
| her to the blind asylum at Indianapo-

| DIR. Culbertson, who, on a thorough ex-
animation Of the case, pronounced her
ctrable. After a persistent and carefully
conducted course of treatment, with the
| kind and considerate cooperation OF Mr..

bright and clear. !.
