Civilian Control.

Our system of military administration has
been growing more and more civilian in
character since the days of Wellington. Then
the COMMANDMENT chief had far more power
and influence in the decision of military ques-
tions than at present. Then the supply of
guns, arms, ammunition and of all sorts of
military materials was i'll the hands of al
officer selected on account Of great experience
in war. He was styled the master general of
the ordnance, He was member of the gov
erpnent and often cabinet minister. He
was, in fact, the adviser of the government
on all military matters. That office was
abolished, and at present all this duty of sup
ply, which requires great technical training
and military experience, is relegated to a
CT villain member of parliament. Soldiers
don't think the arrangement good one,

GENTLEMEN-In explanation to the
foregoing letter it is proper to state
that the Electropoise has been in use
by DR.. K. but five days, having been
erected in his Office on July Goth.
He said ri used to be such q ran
tankerous allopath that I would not
look at a homeopath across the
street. But I found that they could
effect cures that I could not with my
methods, so I went to their college and
graduated. Now, if you will show me
a still better method, I will adopt it in
my practice and advocate its use"
He has large practice among the
swell 400" and frequently has spe-
cial train to carry him to see some
rich patient out Of the city.
Yours truly, JOHN N. WEBB,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 1.-The bull sentiment
in the wheat market was thin and weak to-
day in the face of the brilliant and highly
favorable weather now prevailing through
out the country. The price for July was
started at decline of s4c from yesterdays
closing figures it made further decline OF
lie, and in the end the loss-from the point
of view of the bulls-amounted to lSSc, the
ruling price for July at the close being 92s8c.
In the absence of any very bulllsh reports
from the crop sections, the bears and
the bulls interested in lower prices
to buy on easily depressed the market. The
influences early were the excellent growing
weather in all quarters, the general rains, and
belief that the bull news had been already
discounted. Prices started at decline of a.
@lAc over night. July was off 7sc from the
close yesterday. A temporary rally of about
Ac from first figures was followed by con-
siderable decline, caused more by raiding than
by any heavy selling About noon there was
a good rally, helped by reports of export bus
mess This was followed before L O. clock by
a still further decline, WEIGH put prices small
fractions under the low figures of the morn
ing. From this there was no recovery up to
1 o'clock, and the pit became quiet. There
was some little bull news, such as better
export clearances at New Orleans and re-
ports that eleven boat loads were taken for
export at New York. Wheat on ocean
passage also showed decrease of 400, 600
bushels for the week. All this was little
needed. Partridge covered some short
wheat and country buying orders
absorbed some, but there was no
vigorous support Linn sold through Roche,
Hutchinson through his brokers' and Logan
sold for st. Louis, it is claimed. The scalp
ing crowd followed Hutchinson and sold for
break. Many of the big houses held aloof
from the market for more definite news.
Wheat showed irmer feeling at the close.
June recovered from 9Osc to 91Ac, July
from 92c to 92ssc and deferred futures
closed uniformly 118c under yesterday
August, 92Ac; September. 92asc; December,
93$sc. The corn market was dull and a
shade easier. The trade in oats was rather
quiet Provisions were weak under the in
fuence of heavy receipts of hogs and re-
duced prices for them. Lard and ribs closed
at about yesterdays prices, but pork showed
a decline of 27l2c at the close.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

Gustavus Johnson's Pupils Give
an Excellent Concert.

Gustavus Johnson's Pupils Give
an Excellent Concert.
The pupils of Gnstavus johnson gave
their eighth annual festival concert at
the Grand last evening to fair-sized
and enthusiastic audience. The con-
cert was certainly creditable one, both
to the work and musical tai
ent of the pupils and to the eff
ficiency of Mr.. Johnson's instruction.
Nearly every number on the somewhat
long programme was encored. Miss
Olive Fremstad and string quintette,
composed of Messrs. Fred Will and NJ.
Wertz vioinists,, George T. Ransom eel
list, Ed Schugens bass and Bert Rose
viola, all of DAM orchestra, assisted
Prof. Johnson's pupils and added much
to the success of the concert.
There were on the programme
solos, duets, concerted pieces employ
ing as many as six performers and all
were exceptionally well rendered:
There is not space here to make special
mention of each of the thirteen num-
bers, exclusive of encores, but, from an
artistic standpoint, it was one of the
most successful concerts everS iven by
lOcal amateur musicians.
