MILITARY NOTES.

Government Hill property is again
on 8 boom. All that property lying
between Carson and Crosby streets
at the foot of the hill is being fenced
in and cut up in lots. Besides this
there are seven new houses being
built on the hill.
Yesterday afternoon at about 1:30
o'clock fire call was sounded at Fort
Sam Houston calling out the soldiers
to attend fire drill. They
were drilled at the adjutsnt's
Office. Some placed ladders and others
handled the hose, while some mount.
ed the roof and commenced to play
the hose as though it was a real fire.
Everything was done in the best
style, although countless difficulties
had to be overcome. The water pow
er was so poor that q stream of water
no larger than 8 man could obtain
from small yard hose sputtered
from the nozzle of the hose used and
was thrown about ten feet out. Well
it might have been thrown thir-
ty feet as it fell from the
roof of the adjutant's office
to the ground, which is about that
distance. Unless better water power
can be obtained the hose had best De
abandoned and the buckets brought
into use. The bucket brigade did
splendid drilling, in fact all of the
men did.
Drill will be given at the military
post this evening.
The Fort Sam Houston Social club
will not give their dance tonight, as
that club has ceased to exist.
Yesterday evening was ladies' eve

RETURN or Ia GRIPPE.

Thousands Of Cases of the Dread Disease
in II. Louis. indianapolis and Cincin-
natl.
ST. LOUIS. No. Dec. 14.-Dr. Priest.
chief dispensary physician of the city.
estimates the number of cases Of Ia
grippe in St Louis at 10000. Three
hundred employees of one wholesale to-
bacco house have been compelled to
quit work. and the disease has affected
choir singers While the mortality list
does not indicate a large number of
deaths from la grippe directly, a great
percentage of them have been largely
due to complications Of influenza and
chronic affection. There were thirty
nine more deaths during the last week
than during the one previous. or a
total of 232, an increase Of seventy over
the same period last year. Many local
physicians upon being interviewed say
that the disease is contagious or infec-
tious. Nearly all are agreed that in
form it is not as violent as it was last
season; that the exposure of the person
does not necessarily invite an attack,
but that the malady seizes upon those
whose systems is in poor condition.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dee 14-Phy-
sicians estimate that there are 1000
cases of la grippe in the city, with but
a small percentage under treatment
The victims have nearly ali had pre-
vious attack of the malady and are
so well acquainted with its peculiar
tiles that they do their own doctor
ing. There is scarcely family in the
city in which one or more persons can
not be found who have been or are suf-
fering from the disease In many of
the offices and stores the force of en-
ployes is greatly reduced. There are
but few employees who cannot report
some of their help at home sick. The
hotels report a few guests sick with
the disease, but no one seriously.
CINCINNATI, Dec. IA. La grippe has
the appearance of being epidemic in
Cincinnati. Prof Benedict, dean of
the university, is down with it, and
seventy teachers in the public schools
are more or less disabled by it. A great
many police officers have been laid
off duty by the disease. The public
charity and penal institutions are very
severely affected by it, and the malady
seems to be gaining in extent and vio-
lence. There have been seven deaths
from influenza in very short time.
CANTON, O., Dec. 14.-Dr Phillips,
Gov-elect McKinley's physician, states
that his patient will not be able to at
tend to his duties this week He is
suffering from an attack of la grippe.

Further Evidence Makes the Identity of
Norcross AS the Bomb-Thrower Conn
plete.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14-There is no
longer room to doubt that Henry l..
Norcross, the young Boston note
broker, was Russell Sage's assailant.
Not only is Mr.. Sheldon morally GER
tain that the head in the morgue is
that of young Norcross, but in the
young mans desk when his father UNI
locked it at Boston he found long let
ter in which the desperate intention of
the writer was fully committed to pa
per. This all-important fact when first
asserted was denied by the Norcross
family and friends, but its truth was
affirmed from such a quarter
that it can no longer be gainsaid.
The family, however, refuse to allow
publication of this letter. Very likely
it may never be given to the public.
The letter was addressed to the young
mans mother. Overwhelmed by the
mass of evidence, Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
cross both admit that there is no doubt
that the dead bomb-thrower and their
missing son are the same.
1t is said that in the letter young
Norcross informed his mother that he
was going away Thursday on business;
that if successful he should return Sat-
urday night, but if unsuccessful he
might never re turn.

An Anglo-Saxon Holiday.

The English speaking peoples may,
we think, properly claim Christmas as
peculiarly an Anglo-Saxon holiday. 1t
is true that it is also a festival of the
Christian church. but it is easily de
monstrated that similar festival
without the religious element-was
observed by the Germamc tribes long
before the Roman legions crossed the
Alps. In fact, it would seem that
Christmas was not originated by the
church, but that the priesthood adopt
ed the feast-day, remodeling it to serve
as a vehicle for religious IDEAS, and
turning its generous and social spirit to
account in the service of the church.
Did you ever think that to-day English
is spoken by one hundred and ten
millions Of people, more than speak
any other language on earth? China
has two hundred and fifty millions of
people, and Indie one hundred and

BosToN, Dec. IA - Miss Julia A.

official organ of the Woman's Christian
Temperance union, and a resident of
Evanston, H.. died in this city Saturday.
Funeral services were held over the
remains of Miss Ames ON Sunday at
the home of DIR. Caroline C. Hastings,
and were largely attended by promi-

cause. The services were conducted
by Rev. A. J. Gordon, of the Clerenden
Street Baptist church. Upon the casket
were many beautiful floral offerings,
among them cross of white
roses and lilies from Lady Henry
Somerset and knot of
carnations tied with a white satin rib
bon. The remains were conveyed to
the Boston & Albany railway station,
and at 1920 were forwarded to Chi

Miss Ames was a graduate Of the Streator

first work in temperance was during the
