A Brave Woman Va mn =.
fI.ondor TELEGRAPH.

During the height Of the recent gale on
the northeast coast of Ireland, Mrs. Whyte,
the wife Of q farm servant. who lives with
her husband in a small cottage on Aber-
dour beach, observed the steamer w illiam
Hope, OF Dundee, wrecked in the bay al
most opposite her own door. Without q
moments hesitation and ia the midst OF =
binding shower Of hail and sleet the brave
woman proceeded as far as she safely
could into tho sea and lcaught q 8 end Of :
rope which one of the crew threw to her.
The rope she fastened around her waist,
and with her feet planted firmly on the
beach, and 'rith the spray dashing
round her, she stood until those on
board the steamer were able to
make the necessary arrangements for
getting ashore, which they did safely.
Mrs Whyte's goodness did not end there.
She took the rescued men to her humble
cot, and, so far as her poor means afford
ed, supplied that comfert which the desti-
tute and exhausted crew stood much in
need Of. Nor is this the first occasion
upon which this poor woman has shown
herself q god Samaritan. About two
years ago che Swedish bark Almatar was
wrecked on alInosG she same spot as the
William Hope. IGrs. Whyts showed the
utmost sympathy ana kindness for the
stranded forei gners; sh took them to her
house, grudged neither time, convenience
nor material aid, such as was in her pow
OF, to alleviate their wants These ser-
vices have never been publicly recognized.

The Northwestern Miller of this week has
the following to say Of the milling situation:
1.-THE much discussed question as to whether
the mills would shut down has finally been an
swered in the affirmative, and in most EN-
phatic manner. The advance In Eastern
freights went into effect Monday, and was the
last straw that the mills could stand. Several
mills did not start up at all Monday, and by
Wednesday half the milling capacity of the
city was idle, while the remainder was prepal-
ing to close down before Thursday morning.
Thus Thanksgiving passed without single
mill in operation. To-day and to- morrow tFr1-
day and Saturday, there will be in operation
four mills with combined capacity of 2, rs
barrels, but 1000 barrels or more of this will
probably be cut next week. This will come
the nearest to complete idleness for the mills
that has ever occurred since Minneapolis as
sumed any Importance as . milling center.
This state OF affairs has not been brought
about by concerted action, as some designing
parties would make 1t appear. but BY force OF
circumstances. Mondays advance in freights
leaving the miller no alternative than to stop
grinding. The duration of the embargo on OPP
erations here is q matter upon which few mill
ers are willing to hazard definite opinion.
They feel that it depends altogether upon how
soon the situation changes so as to per NIT mill
ing without a loss.

Cleveland and the Army,

There are no less than sixty-ninc Off
GERS, says the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
who may or must be retired within the
four years Of Mr.. Clcveland's admins
tration. They include two major-genc-
rails. seven acknowledgements, thirty
one colonies, thirteen lieutenant-colo-
nels, six majors, four chaplains, four
captains, and two first licutenants.
Fifty-ninc have attained the rank of
major or gone up higher, and it is in re-
spect of their withdrawal from the ac-
tive list that sOlicitude is mainly felt in
military circles. Section | of the act
Of June 30, 1882, provides that when
an officer reaches the age of sixty -four
years he shall be retired from the active
service of the United States. BY ope-
ration of law. also, when an officer
has been in the military SER
vice of the United States for
forty years he may be retired
by the President by reason of said pc
Rod of long and faithful service {; and
il is provided, further, that he shall be
retired after forty years of service if
he applies to be retired. Under the
first provision Of this latter act the
President may, at his option, swing an
Objectionable officer, forty years in
service, from the active list, aolens no
iens. The second provision makes it
optional with the officer to apply or not
to apply to be retired; but if he does
apply the President is bound to grant
the application. A retired officer of
the army gets three quarters pay. but
a small percentage of officers have prl-
yate incomes. Most of them, too, who
have been in the service for forty years
enjoy high rank. Hence very few ask
to be retired, and the opportunities of
Juniors for promotion arc not unlike
angels visits. Naturally enough the
question now agitating army circles is
whether Mr.. Cleveland will fill the
high-rank vacancies by promotion
alone or partially by appointment of
civilians.

Cutting Telegraph Rates.


NEW YORK. January 1.-The an
nouncemcnt of lower rates on the Balti-
more and Ohio telegraph lines attracted
attention among telegraph-men and pro-
voked comments OH that class of bust
ness. As published it gives the inn
preston that the preyiously-existing
rates have been greatly reduced. At
the office of the Mutual Union Telc-
graph Company 1t was stated that the
reductions are in but few cases more
than five cents below rates given by
that company for six months past to
the points mentioned.
The Mutual Union company now an
nOunces further reductions in rates from
New York as follows: To Chicago, ID
cents to st. Louis, Cincinnati, and in
termodlate points, 90 cents; to all Of
fees in Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
and Connecticut, and to Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Washington, 10 cents.
Rates by the Mutual Union lines to all
points west. to and including st. Louis
and Chicago. have been but twenty cents
since July LIST. Rates now given are
in no case higher, and to many points
are lower than those given by the Balti-
more and Ohio company.
