A ohild.s Presence of Mind.

Little Lena Scnenck, the Drlgnt-
eyed nine-year-old daughter of ". Il.
Y. Schenck, a well to do merchant Of
this city is now deservedly the pet of
all Camp Taylor, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. She had a most
thrilling experience the other day,
and that she is still alive is only due
to her miraculous presence of mind.
About half "A mile from Camp Tay-
lor, on the way to Sausalite, the
North Pacific Railway, narrow gauge,
runs over a deep ravine on "a trestle
work about one hundred and twenty
five feet long. The trains run about
eighty feet above the bed of the little
stream below.
1t is a pretty place, with high hills
rising on all sides and plenty OF shrub
berry and trees. But these very things
are what make it dangerous, for the
heights and woods make it impossible
to hear approaching trains. Especi-
ally Is this true of the trains OH the
way from the city, for neal the ravine
the track bends to avoid a high and
rocky hill, which defects the sound of
the locomotive.
Lena was playing with the other
children near Camp Taylor, and in
some way got separated from them
and started off on the track alone.
She had nearly crossed the trestlework
when the train whistled around the
curve ahead OF her. The engineer saw
the child and blew several sharp
blasts on the whistle, trying all the
while to diminish the speed of his
train. Lena turned and tried TO run.
but fell down twice, and finally, when
the engine vas almost upon her, put
her hands over her face and threw
herself down fiat on the ties between
the rail aud the outer stringpiece
which keeps the ties in place.
The engine and eight ears rushed
above her before the car was brought
to a standstill. Twice her dress . was
nearly caught by the steps of the
coaches. but she kept perfectly still.
When lifted up by the conductor the
child was unframed and not as much
frightened as the trainmen.

THE MORNING ROOM.
Dainty Private Retreat a Boon to
the Housekeeper.

Some years ago the average Amer
lean man who had been regarded as a
housekeeping, fireside-loving creature
was led away into a social depart
ment introduced from England, and
for the pleasure. privacy and freedom
offered by his club he forsook in a
measure the domestic hearth, or what
was then known in America as the
Family parlor.n Very les this time.
long suffering patents, impressed
with the wisdom of system and dis
erection in the rearing of their children,
relegated small boys aud girls to the
nursery, and in the family parlor the
mother of the family found herself
alone, and, in a measure, forsaken.
This weighed heavily on her temper
and spirits. till she borrowed yet an
other foreign custom. and timidly,
but hopefully forsook the parlor for II
small private retreat of her own. now
known as the morning room, says the
illustrated american. The parlor
was changed into a full-fledged draw
ing room, and, choosing a sunny
apartment upstairs, she furnished
after the dictates of her own heart, a
charming feminine den. No laws and
theories of that imperious and mar
row minded person, the house decor
ator, are permitted to influence the
arrangement of this single
room, where, as the owner rightfully
argues, she is to spend a larger part OF
ner days, and, therefore, from hoor to
ceiling and from end to end she viii
make it conform to every feminine
within and comfort.
In the chill and stately drawing
room themes of decoration, eras OF
furniture and schemes OF color may
reign in all their ornate and cold per-
lection, but in the small, coy, up
stairs corner colors oil the rainbow
ma clash or harmonic as the MIS-
tress wills; chosen bits of bric-a-brac,
touches of Oriental luxury, miniature
examples of classic Grecian art, pho
tographs and water colors, antiques
and savage implements, will all be
gathered in friendly and c%uriously
artistic good fellowship about the
three most prominent and necessary
features of any woman's morning
room-a tall lamp, a tea table and a
divan. Provided with more or less OF
the aforementioned paraphernalia,
the mistress asks counsel of no one.
but hangs, stands and arranges all
her precious lares and penates to suit
her individual taste, and when every
thing has been placed quite to her
satisfaction, the result is sure TO be
wholly charming, interesting, thor
ouglly feminine, and quite distinctive
of each woman.

Surgeon Gen. Brownies Tribute.

Gen. Pike had no warmer or more devoted
friend in the world than Surgeon Gen. Browne
of the navy, who has been associated with him
in Masonic matters for good many years. To
STAR reporter he remarked the other day:
"Gen. Pike was one of the most lovable of men.
He had the most endearing qualities, such as
would bring him into the closest communion
with mans heart and this, perhaps, was the
cause of his wonderful popularity not
only among his brother Masons through
out the country, but among all others
with whom he came in contact He had,
think, as many sided brain as it is possible
for a man to possess. being an adept in SO
many branches OF information that it was
wonder that he became proficient in any. Yet
his mind never failed to grasp the reason of
things, and seldom did it fall short Of a COM
plete mastery. He was very legal, judicial in his
temperament. having been successful lawyer
in his earlier career. I have always thought that
he would have made an excellent judge for any
bench. His temper was equable and his mind
was LARGE and in all of its attributes it had that
sense Of equity and justice that is SO essential
In the makeup Of a man in a judicial position.
As student few men equaled MIN in his in
dustry and perseverance,. Few tasks that he
ever undertook were not completed, even
though he had to work OF them for years. I
happen to know that he had an enormous
amount OF manuscript in his desks ready for
publication that would have been valuable
addition to the literature of the world. Among
other things was a translation of some very rare
Hebrew documents.
among bis many Offices was that Of chief of
the southern jurisdiction of the Royal Order Of
Scotland. This order is really a social one, and
is composed Of Masons of higher degrees in all
parts of the country. The southern iurisdic-
ton comprises two-thirds of the entire country.
There are about seventy members in Washing
ton"

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Parker said: I'm many respects
Gen. Pike was a most remarkable man. Had
he lived at an early period Of the worlds his
tory he would have been regarded as a wise
man or prophet. He was a profound scholar,
familiar with the classics. and an author and
poet of enviable repute. The last quarter of a
century of his life has been devoted almost en-
tirely to Scottish Rite Masonry, which may be
said to be another branch Of Masonry as dis
tinguished from Ancient York Capitular or
Templar Masonry. As the supreme head of
the southern jurisdiction of the rite he has
made record that will not fade out OF sight,
and his name is familiar in every household
throughout the world where Scottish Rite Ma
sonry exists. 1t is difficult to predict who will
succeed Gen. Pike. The college of 3Sds will
determine this might. however, suggest the
name Of Surg. Gen. Browne of the navy

There Has Been Increased Correspondents
In Places Where tps Service Has Been Tried.
Reports are being received 1t the Post Once
Department from the postmasters in the towns
and villages where the free delivery service was
established as an experiment. Mr.. Vans
maker desired to ascertain whether 1t would be
practicable to give to some of the small places
the advantage Of the free delivery service.
Is order to test this matter he has directed that
the letter carrier be employed in some thirty
small places in different parts of tho country.
Hyattsville, Laurel and Rockville were the
places selected in the immediate vicinity of this
city, but the others on the list are scattered
all over the country. In some places
the new service was started February and in
others March /. and yet sufficient time has not
elapsed to furnish all the data that is desired
Still, from reports already received it is evident
that the showing that will be made will be in
favor of the continuation Of the new system.
rNcREAsED CORRESPONDENCE.
Providing small towns with letter boxes and
letter carriers is not going to contribute in al
cases to the credit side Of the financial &C
counts of the Office. As rule the output will
have no compensation in y money sense. From
some OF the reports received il is found that
since this new service was put into operation the
re cipts of the offices have actually increased
which goes to show that additional facilities in.
duce the people to use the post Office more
freely.
RECEIPTS WILL NOT EQUAL TIE EXPENDITURES.
II may seem to be rather singular, but the
figures show that when people can drop their
letters into a convenient letter box and
have their mail brought to their homes
that they write more letters. 1t II not
expected that the increased receipts will
In many cases even equal the increased er-
penditures but ss long az it contributes TO the
efficiency of the postal service and the con-
yenlence of the people the outlay Of money is
involved in this change is the salary
OF the letter carrier, who is paid
S212 per year for few hours work each day.
Maj. Pollock, the superintendent Of the free
delivery system, believes that an appropriation
OF 100000 would enable him to extend the
service to every town in the country where it
is needed.

NOTES FROM ANNAPOLIS,
A Cadet Captain Reduced to the Ranks
Distinguished Japanese visitors.

UNITED STATES NAVAL, ACADEMY


Distinguished Japanese Visitors.
Correspondence of The Evening Star.
UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY,
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, April 2, 1897.
The battalion of cadets for purposes of or
ganization and drill is made up of four COM
panies commanded by regularly appointed off,
GERS from among the first-class cadets. These
positions are always sought after with diligence
and held with pardonable pride, as wearing the
stripes of gold lace ON their sleeves signifies
that the highest honor Of cadet life is reached.
In giving these appointments out the merits
and work of the cadets for three years is taken
into account, and rarely, indeed is = mistake
made. Fully understanding such facts as
these, the officers and others at the academy
were astonished somewhat when on Tuesday at
parade, an order from the superintendent was
read reducing Cadet Irwin. the senior cadet
captain, to the ranks, and promoting Cadet
Lieut.. Gilimor to the vacancy thus caused.
The circumstances which led to this action
are these: Cadet Irwin while unde- the COM
mand of another cadet Of a lower rank refused
to obey q reasonable command, and replied to
second urgent request in tones and language
more fitted to the forecastle than to the ward
room. Irwin is the biggest well as the
strongest cadet in the place and his feats of
strength have been for four years the pride Of
his class. For three years he has played center
on the football team and has ever been pop
ular with officers and cadets. So. quite natIl-
rally, he got the best Of short struggle which
ensued between himand Cadet Ensign Pollock
who gave the order in question. Cadet Pollock.
feeling that his dignity rs an "officer and
gentleman was at stake, promptly reported
Irwin to the superintendent, who, following the
old maxim that mo one is fit to command who
cannot obey" reduced him to the ranks. Both
the cadets in the controversy are from Ohio
the new captain, Gillmor, being from Wis
consin.
Viscount Mishirni, Q nobleman Of Japan
who is also graduate Of Cornell University
has been visitor at the academy for several
days. the guest of Cadet Kagu Kuzu Nire Of the
first class, who is also a viscount of the Japs-
nese empire and a student at the academy by
courtesy of our government to Japan. Cadet
Nire's father is the lord high admira. of the
Japanese navy, which is by no means as small
as many are liable to presume, but fair rival
Of our own. After the completion of his course
here Cadet Nire will be awarded high rank in
the Japanese navy.
