oeseRTloNs FROM THE ARMY.

Secretary of War Proctor i'm his an
nual report says that the service should
be made worth seeking. if the number
of assertions from the army are tn he
reduced. Ambitious young mel find
little inducement to enlist, and many
who enter the service drop out during
the first year.. There were $3.50 enlist
ments daring the past year and 2.sii
assertions. nearly three-fourths of
which were eases of men who tired of
army life during the first twelve
months experience. The average re-
cru leave the army mt the end of his
enlistment not one whit better off
financially or morally than when he
Entered n service. There is little
chance for advancement in the line of
promotion. the pay is small. and the
life is not calculated tn improve it's fol
lowers in private life. Until some rad
ical changes are made. the service will
continue to drift in the direction in
which il is now moving. Unless con-
gress ex Expects to See the army made the
refuge for social outcasts and its ranks
deserted yea after year the secretary's
recommendations will be carried out
and he service made worth seeking.

JUSTICE IN KENTUCKY

Sherman Aubrey. Of EliZabethtOwn.
Ky. has confessed that he murdered
his cousin Ida for fifty cents and All old
watch. The defense, however, will
show that II circumstances were
peculiarly aggravated. In asking Ida
to loan the fifty cents, Sherman was
filled no doubt with only the kindliest
feeling towards her, and her refusal to
accommodate him touched him to the
quick. To think that ones own cousin
does not repose fifty cents worth of
confidence in one, is enough tn drive
any high-minded Kentucky gentleman
tn extremities. Merely to acquire the
fifty cents was not the chief motive
that actuated Aubrey to commit
the fell deed. His honor had
to be washed i'm lda's blood. and,
in all probability. with tears in his eyes.
ne proceeded to do his laundry work on
the spot. The taking of the fifty cents
after Ida was no longer i'm a condition
to refuse IL, was a simple act of justice
to himself, and undoubtedly Mr.. Au-
brey registered a vow To return it
to her heirs and assigns at his
earliest convenience. The temporary
appropriation of Idais old watch was
based on much the same reasoning.
Had he left it OH the corpse some low
thief might have stolen it: orif this did
not happen probably some relative
would have assumed it's ownership To
whom its possession was of far less
consequence than to Mr.. Aubrey in his
present pecuniary straits. The defense
will shOw that Mr.. Aubrey acted the
Kentucky gentleman i'm every particu-
lar. and an honorable. Open-hearted
Kentucky jury will take pleasure i'm
acquitting him..
