build new ones. =" We want a new and q nice
post up on the higher ground above the old
one. 1t will cost about $780, 700, If the SOL
diers perform the labor, and will save all it
costs in one year."
GLOW do you figure that out?"
ut is my policy to concentrate the army, as
far as can, in large and convenient posts. Il
costs good deal less, and the railroad facilities
are SO good now all over the West, that we can
send soldiers wherever they are wanted cheap
er than we can sustain them in the outlying
frontier posts. My policy is to concentrate
them at convenient points where the railroad
facilities are good. St Paul is .
very convenient location, and want = big
post there, with regiment of cavalry and
another CT infantry-say twelve or fifteen hun
dred men. They can go to Fort Keogh from
St Paul as quick and as easily as from thu
posts in Northern Montana, and at great deal
less expense to the government"
SLOW do You figure ont that you can save,
enough in year to build new post?"

men at Fort Assinaboine, for example, it costs
$52:OS day to keep 100 infantrymen. The
saving, then, in keeping the mon at Smelling,
is $M35per day for hundred infantry, and
$46 G6per day for the same number of cavalry
men, The saving in year at Fort Smelling is

that nobody can get round, don't you see?
Then take an estimate of 500 men. The saving
to the government would be 81, 800 Is in,
keeping that number of infantry at Fort Shell :;
ing a year and $l12 785 in keeping 500 cavalry
men. Then take an estimate Of thousand men;
the savings would be $115, S14 50 year on in
fantry and $225, 800 q year on cavalrymen Sup

what is the prospect of getting the appro-

II think it is good. If congress wants econ

Gen. Terry will leave St Paul for this city ON
Monday or Tuesday.

The family of Leonard Gewter, living
near Elgin, on Greenwood prairie, Wa
basha county has been suffering from u
mysterious disease, which on investiga-
ton proves to be trichinosis of a very
pronounced type. The members of the
family have been eating more or less
raw pork during the winter. Mr..
Grewter died of the disease few days
ago, and several members of the family
are not expected to recover. The re-
ports that have got abroad have been
greatly exaggerated. It is understood
that the infected pork was brought
from Wisconsin by the family when
they moved to this state last fall.

Chief Justice Waite the Ranking Leader
OF Society After the President-Justice
Fields Historical Home-Myra Clarke

Correspondence Of the Morning Netos.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The first sign
of returning vitality in Washington is the
preparation for the session of the Supreme
Court. The dust which has gathered
thickly on the long "bench," where sits
the highest legal tribunal of the country,
IS being raided by the busy janitor, and the
old court room, the scene Of so many
noted events, being put in order for the
approaching term of court. The corps of
clerks, who have been enjoying a rest
during the long months which have inter-
vened since the adjournment, are welcom-
ing the approach of the session. Not only
are those directly connected with the
court interested, but host of others. The
return of the Justices and their families
is a signal tor society to resume it's long
suspended animation. Those who have
mourned the absence of the leaders in the
social world wilksoo mourn no more.
The handsome residence of the Chief
Justice, on 1 street, will soon be put in
order for the return of himself and family.
They are usually the last to take their
departure and among the first to return.
The home of the Chief Justice is one Of
the most tasteful which society sees in the
social season here, and the Chief Justice
himself-the Hon. Morrison r. Waite
as amiable a host and his wife as agree
able hostess as are found in Washington.
Their weekly receptions are always
crowded, and their evening sFcard recep-
tiOns" are among the most agreeable
events which society in Washington
boasts. The Chief Justice is man who
would attract attention anywhere. His
magnificent physique and strong intel
lectual face, his thick growth of hair and
beard, strongly marked with gray, indica-
tive Of great ability, broad culture and
strong characteristics. He is an Ohio
man, his State being the only one now
which has two of it's children on the Su-
preme bench, the second being MIR. JUS
tice Matthews. While the Chief Justice
and his family are considered the head of
society after the White House people, the
other Judges of the court are, with their
families, popular in society. All are with
one exception family men, Mr.. Justice
Grey, OF Massachusetts, being the only
| bachelor in the distinguished party.

One of the most popular homes of any
Of the Justices is that of Justice Field,
whose home is the old ''Capitol Prison"
building, just opposite the capitol. The
old capitol building was erected for a
temporary capitol after the capitol proper
was burned by the British. 1t was Occu-
Mr.. Justice Field now points out with
pardOnable pride the spot where Henry
Clay sat as Speaker of the House when it
held it's sessions within those now doubly
historic walls. The old building, which,
after the removal of Congress to the capt.
toll again, became boarding house, was
turned into prison for distinguished
persons Of war during the late civil strug-
gle, and Justice Field now frequently
entertains at his table prominent men
who were prisoners there during that
time, and points out to his friends from
rear window the spot where Wirz, of
AndersOnVille, was hanged in the yard,
just back of the house. The room where
the court sits is one of many remarkable
memories. 1t is the old Senate chamber,
where the men distinguished as national
leaders a half century ago sat in Senate.
1t is the room where the Electoral Com
mission sat, and where this highest legal
tribunal of the land gave evidence of the
impOssibility Of putting aside PARTISAN
ship under the most grave circumstances.
On the walls of the court room to-day
hangs a magnificent painting of the scene
the Electoral Commission, with the dis
tinguished advocate, MIR. Evarts, address,
ing it-painted by Mrs. Fassett.

as an Alderman of the Fourth ward. and
four years as a Justice of the Inferior
Court of Fulton county, and had charge
OF, and operated for several years, the
first telegraph line established between
Macon and Atlanta; he also served tn e
United States Government for about one
year as mail agent on the route between
Augusta and Griffin.
He remembers Capt. Josiah Hodges
perfectly well. but has forgotten in what
manner he lost his eye, although cOgni-
Zant of the circumstance at the time.
The Captain ''picked up' his trade in the
old Republican office, under Frederick S.
Fell, instead of in the old Georgian.
George n. Nichols and Charles W. Han
cock are likewise well remembered and
esteemed acquaintance. The latter
worked on the Southern Miscellany a
short time in 1913 or 1874. The former
has always stuck to Savannah.
