steadily during the week. and on Faust
night large numbers stood during the whole
performance. While there is much gratiti-
cation from the generous appointments of
the company, there is little hope that Gin
cinnati can be made a member of its circuit

SO handsomely as was hoped for. The eff

In the necessary purchase of supplies dur

gratifying results in the general reduction
of prices. accompanied in many instances
with manifest improvement of quality of
the stores obtained. The policy of supply
ing our vessels abroad by periodical ship
ments of supplies has been found in its
operation to be quite satisfactory.

lucky, affair grows in horror. 1t is un-
doubleday true that Mrs. Poe and her two
lady guests were raped and, with the five
children, were murdered and then burned
up in the house. The devils who did it are
not positively known, though suspicion
rests upon one John Warm and his alleged
wife. who were neighbors of the Poes. II
is mistake to say that arrests have been
made. though they are likely to be at any
moment, and if the proof is good against
the suspected, Judge Lynch will undoubt-

mortaIitvtn The Armv.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Acting Surgeon
General Baxter, of the army. has submitted
his annual report to the secretary of war;
The report shows for the army a year of
exceptional freedom from disease. although
it has been one of unusual hardship and
activity for troops stationed on
the southwestern frontier. The surgeon
general says it is matter
of congratulation that not only the admis-
sion rate to sick report for the troops but
also the death rate has fallen to point
lower than at any time within the history
of the medical department, and cOmpari
sons with the ratios of admissions and
deaths for all the years of peace since 1899
will show a progressive and apparently
permanent Improvement in health. Losses
to the army from discharges for physical
disability have also decidedly decreased
though not to the extent shown by the
death rate. 1t is shown that greater por-
ton of invaldS was furnished by troops
under 21 years of age, while up to the age
of 25 the rate proved so much
above the mean for the whole army
that the surgeon general says it may be
fairly questioned whether the services rem
dpred by these young men are equal to the
cost of their maintenance. Men of Irish
birth furnished the highest mortality, the
English stood next and the Germans third
COurIs Martial.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Col. G. n.
Lieber. acting judge advocate general of
the army, in his annual report recommends
that to commissioned officers with certain
narrow and weIl.defined limits be entrusted
the power of summary punish
ment. such as is conferred by
the English code. The lack of
power in court-martial to punish civilian
witnesses who refuse to testify, is said to
be likely to lead to an entire failure OF
Justice in some cases. The English code
and the articles of our navy confer this
power, and its extension to army court
martial is recommended.

MEMPHIS, July 3d.-Judge Hammond, OF

warded to be filed his opinion involving
the copyright CT James G. Blaine's Twenty
Years in Congress- The case WIS argued
before Judge Hammond while holding
court to- Judge Sage, in Ohio, and is said
TO go further than any previous decision in
the protection of an authors property in
books. The Bill Publishing Company dis
poses OF Blaine's book only by subscrip-
uon, and has done everything possible to
Keep u away from the general trade, but
as an agent to whom they sent copies for

chase fell into the hands of an Ohio mer-
chant without notice Of fraud, and Judge
Hammond restrains him from selling
them, holding ii a piracy on the copy
right to sell, Without the authors con-
| sent, surreptitiously obtained copies
OF the genuine print, as much as
It IS to sell unlawfully- printed copies.
The opinion holds that it is the
| duty OF the proposed dealer, when he
| knows the book is sold only by subscrip-
| ton, to make inquiry as to the authority
of any enc offering to sell it in any other
mode and his failure to make inquiry is
equivalent to q notice of any fraud. The
Act OF Congress Is held to have conferred
on the author a monopoly of sale, which is
itself property incident, and that one is
entitled to be protected in the exclusive use
| OF that which is exclusively his The fol-
lowing quotation from the opinion will ex-
plain its scope of argument: II do not
exalt literary property above other kinds,
nor hedge it about with supernaturalness
of right and remedy, but place it in the
category OF all sorts only finding that, be-
cause of delicate and peculiar character
istlcs, it is especially liable to piratical
depreciation, like that attempted in this
case, whereby the owner loses his fair
profits; and Congress has provided convoy
for it-a fleet Of rights AID remedies par
ticularly adapted for defense against pirates,
whether they sail under the flag of a
marauding printer, or the ordinary flags of
commerce displayed for the purpose of
spoliation."
