ANOTHER of Uncle Sans soldier boys
has Joined the rapidly minority,
whose names are carried on the Army roll,
and who have entered upon the role of
beats, swindlers, etc. John Byrno ap-
peared before the U. S. Commissioner at
Leavenworth, Kansas, yesterday and en-
tered complaint against himself for col
lusion in defrauding the Government out of
500 while he was a member of the Ninth
Infantry, United States Army, in 1862 In
his final account there was $52 in clothing
and money due him, and he and the COM
pany clerk raised the amount to S192. The
matter, ho says, weighed on his conscience,
and he now wants to confess and get par
don. The case will probably go to Presi-
dent Arthur. 1t is to be hoped that the
other beats and swindlers of "the cloth mill
itaire" will come up like Byrne, own up,
pay up and do what they can to wipe of
the stains they have inflicted upon the
escutcheon of Uncle Sans Regular Army.

In England there is a society for Psy.
chical Research, composed of such men
as Balfour Stewart, Arthur Balfour.
Prof. Barrett, Edmund Quincy, Prof.
Henry Sidgwick, Archbishop Trench
and many other distinguished names in
science, and letters. The society was
formed two years ago, for the purpose
of investigating certain alleged occult
phenomena, such as "mind-reading.
clairvoyance, table-tippings apparitions,
haunted houses" ETC., which, in their
articles of association, they say "are de-
clared to exist by many respectable and
competent people. The last report just
published, III addition to details sums
up the results so far, and gives the con-
conclusion of the society upon the gen.
eral question, which is in these words:
''That after two years of the most care
full research and experiment, they have
reached the conclusion that there is q
formidable array of evidence in favor
of the beliefs indicated above-beliefs
which have hitherto been regarded by
Them with peculiar suspicion and dis.
trust"

Names of Cities and Towns.

When the New York Legislature. fifty
years ago, laid out the two hundred
townships through the middle of New
York State, they made it the duty of
the Attorney General to name them.
He got down an old atlas and copy of
Rollins Ancient History" and sat up
all one night to do the job. He named
them Troy, Homer, Ulysses, HECTOR,
Virgil, Seneca, Livy, Syracuse, Rome,
Greece, Athens, Utica, Sweden, Pom
pey, Hannibal, France, London, Italy,
Spain, Vienna, Russia, Denmark, and
everything he could thing of, besides
immortallzing his sisters and his cous-
ms and his aunts. The names have
not been much duplicated through the
West. But little originality has been
shown anywhere. There are in the
country eleven st. Pauls. twenty
Bridgeports, eighteen Bufalos, and
Newarks, seventeen Brooklys, Cleve-
lands, and Rochesters, sixteen Hart
fords, fifteen Louisvilles, thirte cen
Bostons and Pittsburgs, eight Cincin-
natis and Philadelphias, six Chicagos,
seven Detroits, Ave Milwaukees and st.

THE Observation-Disclosures.
THE FIELD REVIEWED.

From the Pioneer Press Of Thursday morning.
The result Of Tuesdays election is still in
considerable doubt New York is the pivotal
state, and on the result there the in
terest centers The latest returns re-
ceived this morning before going to press
show that whichever way it goes, it will be
by a remarkably small majority. Chairman
Jones, of the Republican national commit
tee. claims the state very positively by good
majority, and is supported by ex-Gov.
Cornell, who estimates 1000 plurality.
Charles E. Smith, of the Philadelphia Press,
and one OF the best-posted men on
New York politics claims 1,5OO majority On
the other hand, the New York Times has re-
duced it's estimates to 1925 plurality for
Cleveland, and the Democratic man
ayers are positiue in their assertions
of victory. New Jersey and Connecticut are
conceded Democratic. Indiana is still very
doubtful, and steady reports of Republican
gains indicate reasonable grounds for hope.
Michigan is also among the uncertain, it be-
ing feared that the fusion ticket will be sue
cessful In Virginia the result has not been
decided yet Malone positively claims
Republican majority, while the Democrats
are equally positive to the contrary. The
probabilities point, however, to
Democratic victory in that state
by reduced majority. Since yes
terday West Virginia has also
taken her place among the doubtful states,
and there now seems to be more than good
chance of a small Republican majority.
Nevada is yet to be heard from. AS it now
stands, Blaine has 169 electoral votes,
Cleveland 1852, and 20 are in doubt. The
returns show large gains of Republican con-
gressmen.

The success during the past year of
che Norwegian liberals in forcing the
King to submit to the impeachment
and conviction Of his chosen ministers.
and to the appointment of liberal
ministry rs the only one able to exist
in the presence of q determined liberal
majority in the Storthing, has had an
almost immediate effect upon Swedish
politics. During the constitutional
crisis in Norway, the Swedish liberals
met and voted their sympathy with the
struggles of their nelghbors. They
have, quite recently, taken further
step, and contested the nineteen legisla-
tive seats belonging to the city Of
Stockholm, previously held By support
ers Of the government. Owing to their
unexpected activity, and the existence
of variety of grievances, success at
tended their efforts. They captured
sixteen Of the nineteen seats. Accord
ing to local writer's, this will result in
making Sweden hotbed OF political
agitation.

Three Meals a Day Necessary.

An English writer gives some much
needed advice as to the times and fire.
auency of meals. In his opinion the
present usual practice of three meals
day has good reason, as well as custom,
in its favor. When work of any kind
is being done, whether mental or
bodily, the intervals between taking
food should not be so long as to entail
demands on the system when its store
for the generation of force is exhausted
An ordinary full meal, in the case OF
healthy man, is generally consider ed
to have been completely digested and
to have passed cut of the stomach ID
four hours. A period of rest should
then be granted to the stomach. AS
Stunning that two hours are allowed Tor
this, the interval between one meal and
another would be six hours; and this
accords with the experience OF most
men. During rest and sleep there is less
waste going on, and especially during
sleep there IS greatly diminished actlv-
ity of all the functions of the
body. The interval. therefore, between
the last meal of one day and the first OF
the next may be longer, as it generally
is, than between the several day meals.
Assuming that breakfast be taken
about or 9 o'clock, there should be
mid day meal about or 2. The char
acter of this must depend on the nature
of the days occupation and the con-
venience of the individual. With wom-
en- and children this is generally their
hungry time, and the midday repast.
whether called luncheon or dinner, is,
the chief meal. So it is with the mid
die and laboring classes, for the most
part. But for merchants, professional
men and others, whose occupations take
them from home oil the day, this is in
convenient, and moreover, it is not
found conductive to health or comfort
to take q full meal in the midst of the
days work. There can, however, be
no doubt that much evil arises from at
tempting to go through the day with
out food, and then with exhausted pow
ers sitting down to hearty meal.
Something of a light, easily digestible,
but sustaining character, should be tax
en- toward or 2 o'clock. Tran

The claim is disputed by some of the

Now that the election is over there
will not be much demand for political
reading of partisan character. Not
that people will cease to take interest
in the officers of government-for that
would be misfortune-but the consid-
Grafton of public questions will be less
connected with personal issues, which
are so apt to absorb everything during

An Atlanta dispatch to the New York
Times says: About two months ago
Jennie Rose was shot and killed by q
burglar. The family consisted Of Char
lie Rose, his wife Jennie, who was an
invalid, and Miss Nancy Frazier,
cousin of Mrs. Rose, who was IN the
house as help. Miss Frazier stated that
she was awakened by the sharp report
of pistol, and that as she opened her
eyes a figure rushed by her, blowing
out his light as he did so, and that,
jumping out of a window, he escaped
Arising from her bed she went to the bed
side of Mrs. Rose, and placing her hand
upon that lady's head, she was shocked
to feel the clammy touch OF human
blood. Mrs. Rose said only "Oh! OH
and expired. The bullet had entered
her eye, and, passing through her BRAIN,
had lodged in her head. The husband,
who was an employe Of the Air Line
road, was sent for, but manifested nc
surprise when shown the dead body Oh
his wife. There were many reasons
rendering the burglary theory improb-
able and suspicion fell upon the hus-
band and Miss Frazier. The couple
were arrested, as was also Miss Suggs.
with whom it was claimed that Rose
had been intimate. Both girls denisd
that they knew anything of the affair
After series of examinations, contlnu-
ing for three weeks, Rose was discharged.
The character of Miss Frazier had not
been successfully attacked, nor was
any improper intimacy with Rose estab-
lished.
Late last night DR.. Garter was hur-
riedly called to attend Miss Frazier,
who was suffering fearful commissions
in child birth. When the child was
born it was found to have but one eye,
the place where the other eye should
be having only the appearance of a
deep bullet wound. The child lived
but few moments, and at eight o'clock
