LIFE AT WEST POINT.
How Cadets Arc Expected to Condt
Themselves in Their Rooms.

How Cadets Arc Expected to Conduct
Themselves in Their Rooms.
The hospital at West Point is one of
the curiosities of the place. Before
breakfast and after supper are the only
times cadet is allowed to visit it, and
should he be taken ill during the day it
Is only after going through yards OF red
tape and mourning four or five punish
able reports that he can avail himself
of it's medical attendance.
Once inside, few harmless prepare
tions constitute the standard relief for
the known maladies. The sufferer is
given pill or a glass OF soda mint in
ternally, or else he is decorated out
wardly with a painting of iodine or
smearing of vaseline.
A story is told of number OF cadets
who, enjoying the rest afforded by the
hospital, conceived the idea of playing
trick upon one of their number whose
illness was to all appearances feigned.
At odd intervals each presented himself
to the steward and told tale of woe,
which had the effect of bringing out a
harmless sugar-coated pill. These pills
were not used, but were all intrusted to
the leader. Toward night this leader,
coming into the hospital ward and bend
ing over the assumed invalid. said:
''Brown, the steward, says your case
is becoming desperate, and orders you to
take these pills, every one of them"
lie thereupon presented Brown with
ten little glistening objects. At once
Brown became so frightened at this
wholesale treatment that he rushed
downstairs and declared himself entire-
! ly recovered and anxious to leave the
hospital.
Even in tho privacy of his own room
the cadet is required to conduct himself
with all the dignity necessary for court
reception, and should the inspecting Off
Ger detect any slight flaw in his dress,
attitude or department, an official re.
port of the matter is made at once.
When report is made an oxplana-
ton is required of the cadet In order
to show to what extent this is some-
times carried give verbatim the follow

FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.
A Condition of Things Existing in Thou
sands Of Homes.

A Condition of Things Existing In Thou
sands of Homes.
The family were gathered about the
breakfast-table in pretty cottage in
one of the suburban villages near New
York. The circle was enriched by the
presence of two daughters, one OF twelve
and the other of seven years. The
father was little late in responding to
call to the table, and when he appeared
the younger daughter, in tones OF dis
gust, said: There, papa is going to
stay down again tonight; he has on his
tail coat"
With look of patient endurance. the
older daughter looked up and asked:
Another committee meeting?
'.Iro bono publicoi" responded the
father
The older daughter, proud OF her
knowledge of Latin, translated the sem
tence, to which the younger responded:
Eyes, for the public good, but the
family bad!'
How truly the small maiden had de.
clared the conditions in thousands OF
homes--whero the public good dis
places the family good; where the ex.
citement of attending to the public af-
fairs affords far greater pleasure than
the worker finds in attending to the
good of that part of the public which is
embraced under the item of family.
"What makes Mrs. Gadabout a phi,
lanthropist?" "Her willingness to at
tend to every body's business instead OF
her own," is a recent newspaper joke,
and yet how many lives would seem to
justify it! The energy, the thought, the
time spent for the public good is often
time, interest, thought, stolen from the
family.
Take it in the matter of public
health. II every housekeeper would

So much for the Western Republican
press.
Many Eastern Republican papers also
criticise the Mckinley bill freely That
old-time mouth-piece of orthodox Re-
publicanisln, the Boston Advertiser,

and declares that ''the people are not
in mood, at this period of surplus rev
enue, to be driven into unreasonable,
not to say unnatural protection"
The Boston Journal, organ OF the rad

| opposes the wool schedule, and the Bos

Kinley bill very freely.
The Philadelphia Telegraph, an lnde

The Park Board Will Meet and
Decide Its Position.


Decide Its Position.
A good deal of comment was to be
heard in the various city departments and
about the streets anent the decision Of
the supreme court relative to Lincoln
park. A GLOBE representative called
on Hon. Albert Scheffer yesterday after
noon and inquired his opinion as to the
probable effect of the decision on the
past and future proceedings of the
board. MIR. Scheffer had but just re-
turned from the East and re-
marked that as yet he had had
no time to read the decision,
and even less to study its bearing. He
added that at the regular meeting of
the board, occurring this afternoon, City
Attorney Holman would probably throw
some light on the subject, and establish
the existence or nOn-eXiStence of a park
board. E. A. Hendrickson, member
of the board, spoke in similar
strain, expecting developments at
this afternoons meeting. Comptroller
Roche said, when approached on the
subject, that the decision annulled all
proceedings of the board with regard to
Carpenter, Indian Mound, Ridge wood
and Lincoln parks, and would neeessi-
tate the refunding of about $4,000 al
ready paid into the treasury IN assess
mentS. He says that while the decis-
on admits the legality of the boards
existence it holds that no power to con-
denim property for parks or to assess
holders of property for any purpose eX-
lists in it. 1.-The matter" SAID Mr..
Roche, ''is one to be remedied in the
next legislature"
