NJ. DE TOCQUEYLLE, the celebrated
French author, pays the following
compliment to American women: Il
do not hesitate to aYow that, although
the women of the United States are
confined within the narrow circle of
domestic life and their situation is, in
some respects, one of extreme depend
ence, I have nowhere seen women
occupying a loftier position, and, If I
were asked to what the singular pros
perity and growing strength of that
people ought mainly to be attributed,
1 should REPLY to the superiority OF
their women"

AFTER FORTY YEARS.
Colonel Piper, Fifth Artillery, on
the Retired List.
Lieutenant-Colonel Graham to Succeed to the
Colonelcy of the Head
quarters to Los Angeles.

Yesterday General Ruger telephoned Lieu
tenant-Colonel Graham that Colonel Alex
ander Piper Of the Fifth Artillery had been
placed on the retired list on the 1st inst af-
ter forty years service. When the Fifth
was gazetted for the Preside Colonel Piper
applied for retirement under the " thirty
year sct," but under that law the number of
retired officers is limited. and there being no
vacancy, the application was denied. Al
though the commanding officer of the Fifth,
Colonel Piper did not accompany his regi-
ment to San Francisco, but remained in his
Eastern home, where he now resides.
In the natural course of events Leuten-
ant-Colonel Graham will succeed 10 the
Colonelcy, and although the appointment
has Yet been officially announced, formal
notification of his promotion will probably
be received from Washington in a few
days.
Colonel Graham received the congratu-
lations of his many friends at the Preside
yesterday, a nnmber of officers from the
various military posts around the bay and
several naval officials from Mare Island
calling to express their pleasure at the news
of his promotion.
Colonel William NJ. Graham was born in
the District of Columbia, and was appointed
Second Lieutenant OF the First Artillery on
June z, 1855, SO that he has had thirty-Six
years of continuous army service. He was
promoted to First Lieutenancy in March,
1861, and became Captain in October of the
same year. He served with distinction in
the War of the Rebellion, and was Colonel
of the Second Infantry, District of Coum-
bla, volunteer regiment. His courage and
lntrepidity during engagements gained for
him among the men of his co mmand the
sobriquet of Fighting Billy" and in March,
1865, he was gaZetted Brevet Brigader-Gen-
eral, and was honOrably mustered out In the
following September.
He then returned to his old artillery reg
iment, from which he was transferred in
1879 to the Fourth Artillery, with the rank
of Major. In 1887 he was promo ted to a
Lieutenant Colonelcy in the First, exchang-
ing to his present regiment in Nav, 1890.
Colonel Graham came to the Preside in
1887 as Lieutenant-C0lOnel of the First. and
has resided at that post ever since. with
the exception of period of six months. dur
Ing which time he was stationed at Alca-
traZ.
When shown dispatch received yester-
day from Washington, announcing the re-
moval of General Ruger's Headquarters to
Los Angeles, Colonel Graham expressed
surprise at the statement, and thought the
Change mentioned improbable. Even in the
event of the announcement proving correct.
ne was of the opinion that the removal OF
The headquarters to Los Angeles would not
affect the movements of the Fifth Artillery,
which in all probability will remain at the
Preside for five or six years. Instead of
reducing the size of the garrison, Colonel
Graham considers it likely that in time the
post Will be strengthened by the arrival of
additional troops.

SHOT IN THE EYE.
Fatal Accident Sustained by q
Boy With a Pistol.

While celebrating yesterday aftern con
with his fathers pistol Pietro Beretta, aged
10 years, was fatally wounded. The lad
lived with his parents at 729 Broadway.
While his father, who is fisherman, was
sleeping Pietro secured rusty pistol that
had lain unused for two years and went out
to fire i: off. unknown to his parents.
Half an hour later he was found living I'M
conscious on the front porch. A bullet had
penetrated his right eye. The police patrol
wagon was summoned and the unfortunate
boy removed to the Receiving Hospital, fol-
lowed by his weeping father. Police Sur
geOn Williams examined the wound and
said that the bullet had penetrated the lads
brain and would soon cause death.
An examination of the pistol showed it to
be an old-!ashioned weapon of 32-caliber.
There were six cartridges in the cylinder.
but only one had been exploded. The
others bore impressions of the hammer.
showing they had been snapped several
times.
1t is supposed that after failing to dis
charge the weapon the boy was examining
1t when one Of the cartridges exploded.
At $50 O'Clock young Berettl died. His
father and other relatives were at his bed :
side when he expired. The boy died uncon-
sci0us, and as the Police Surgeons state,
Never knew what hurt him. "

A DARING ACT.
What Can Be Done by Cool Man in a
Time OF Danger.


An act so daring and successful in its
nature as to elevate the person interested to
the character of a hero was done last night
by Edward Foreman of 527 Turk street. A
frightened horse, attached to a buggy,
dashed out of Grant avenue into Market.
and up Market TO Eddy street, into which it
turned. The street was filled with people
on their way to the Tivoli, and for a moment
1t looked as if some of the crowd must in
evitably be trodden to death beneath the
animals feet. Mr.. Foreman who was near
by, taking in the situation at a glance
watched his opportunity, and as the buggy
was passing him he seized the tail-buard
and was swung into the body of the vehicle.
To gather up the lines and stop the head
long pace of the horse was the work of a,
moment, and having drawn him up to the
sidewalk and held him until the owner came
up, he handed him over into his custody and
went on his way as if nothing had happened.
The act was daring one and required O
cool nerve TO carry it out successfully.
