The Retirement of Lieut. Meigs Subject

The Retirement OF Lieut.. meiks - cuAJcoe
of Interest to Naval Officers.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Lieut. John
F. Meigs, u. S. n, has been ordered
before the Retiring Board for examina-
tion as to his fitness for retirement
from active duty.
This is the beginning OF the end OF
case that has lately interested naval
officers to an unusual degree. Lieut..
Meigs, who is a son of Maj.-Gen. M. c.
Meigs, U. S. A., retired, is regarded as
an expert in ordinance matters, and has
been in the service 20 years.
The law is very explicit in stipulating
that a single defect in the physical con-
dition of a candidate for promotion
shall be sufficient to cause his retire
ment, but influential friends OF Lieut..
Melgs made strong efforts to induce
Secretary Tracy in his behalf to sus-
pend the operation OF the law In this
case In view of the excellence OF Lieut..
Meigs' services, and of the fact that 1t
would not initiate against his work In
his present line of duties. The law
officers of the department, however,
represented to the Secretary that an ex-
ception made in this case would eonsti-
tute dangerous precedent. The Sec
retary has sustained the views OF the

ALBANY, N. Y, July 23.-An excur.
sion of Knights OF Pythias from Green
bush was run down by the steamer
Drew, of the Peoples line, about eight
miles below this city. The bow
OF the steamer cut through the
sides of the barge Merchant, which
was crowded with women and child
rem and before anyone could realize
what had occurred the barge went to
the bottom. Fortunately the water
was very shallow, so when the keel
touched bottom the lower deck was
still above water. Tug boats were soon
on the scene and the frightened passen-
gers were safely landed.

FIRST STORY.


heart of 80 many American homes. The
French school has developed many archi
tects who are capable of designing splendid
structures, quite as good as any the world
has ever seen along its particular line; VIZ,
monumental structures OF unlimited cost,
but these architects are without clients,
and we have only the photographs OF their
work to show what they may do. When
it comes to designing low cost buildings
they are utterly at sea. They sit down
and acknowledge failure from the start.
In conversation with an American stu
dent, who was absorbing without discrim-
ination all the ideas which belong to this
school, was compelled to listen to the re-
mark that domestic architecture is simply
an engineering problem except in the case
of very expensive structures. In America
we have thousands of exemplifcations oi
the incorrectness of this statement
Herewith submit plan and elevation
of a country house, suited alike to the
south and north. There are many OF these
houses which have been built in times
past, though now they are rare indeed
During the old Colonial period such struc
lures were frequently built Now, how
ever, they have given place to less dignified
structures. We have here a large Corin
THAN porch two stories high, with tn,
decorated pediment above. All are Of thu
recognized classic proportions, which il
their dignity, stability and air of genera

Cleaning Gar Wheels.

Very efficient work is now being done
in various departments by the use of the
sand blast. One of the latest applica-
tions is to the cleaning Of car wheels.
The wheel, after being carefully soaked,
is rolled into small chamber, where 1t
stands in vertical position. The tread
of the wheel stands on rollers, which are
moved by gearings 80 that the wheel Is
slowly revolved without changing tts
position. A hue into which cinders are
fed by chute leading from bin above
leads blast of air against the face OF the
wheel, which ia then reversed.
The cinders used vary from the size oi
Q grain of wheat to much larger and art
so hard that they can be used severa
times The time saved by this method
can be imagined when one man can clear
twenty wheels in three hours and q half
including the time consumed in rolling
them to and from the machine, and tn
saving in labor is proportionately great

MEXICAN OUTLAWS,
President Diaz Makes SOldierSyOis sThem
When He Can.

President Diaz, of Mexico, keeps
himself informed as to the condition
and feeling of the people in all sections
of Mexico. and he knows just about
what strength the revolutionists can
count on, says the Chicago Herald
And the support the revolutionists
will not amount to row of pins as
compared to the power of Diaz. 1t Is
already looked upon as small lnsur-
rection, and will last only long enough
for the leaders to be captured and
shot. ,o.o
Since Diaz came into power in 1876
he has established class of soldiery
similar to the Texas Rangers. Before
his ascendancy there were large lands
Of bandits in the mountainous dis
tr;cta whose sole occupation was
numbering and robbing the people.
irhev were all excellent marksmen
and desperate creatures, who found
refupe in the almost inaccessible re-
0ions of the mountains. Diaz no
sooner GAINED power than he set about
having n number of those bandit lead
ers captured and shot.
After several of these highwaymen
were shot they began to think that
n,az meant business. 1t was stated
in an interview with some foolish
Englishman the other day that Dia2
had had 5000 men shot since he came
into mower, and that statement was
held up to prove that Diaz was 6
wicked dictator. Nothing is further
from the truth.
While Diaz has not had 5000 mer
shot, vet he has had large number
of men shot by his own order. Bu
the men he ordered shot have beer
semi-bandits who created insurrectioni
for the plunder there was In them, o.
have been common brigands ant
hiphwaymen. They were put out o
the way for the good of the country
and the better classes in Mexico hav'
Endorsed Diaz's action. Justices o
the Peace in Mexico were given tn
mower to order man shot within 2
hours after being convicted OF high
way robbery. The case against ban
dit. II found guilty, was not carried VI
to higher court.
After Diaz had convinced the high
waymen and bandits that he woul'
k;li every mother's son of them If cor
victed of robbery he then made
nroposition Of peace to them. He Of
fered to exted cIemency to the bandit
for past deeds up to that date II the
would enter the army and becom
honorable soldiers. He offered to ful
nish them with the finest horses to b
found, and equip them with the fines

them $50 saddles to ride In. This wa
. tempting offer to the bandits, for
there is onything in the world ths

and saddle and splendid gun. The
accepted Diaz's terms, and ne mad

more plainly indicate the general training
of French school architecture than this
exhibition. 1t showed clearly enough that
their teaching Is all in the direction OF a
monumental architecture. Here we had a
monumental country house, house which
displayed merely the artistic resources OF
the designers. There was an entire absence
of domesticity and hospitality in the de-
sign and arrangement of this structure as
shown by the designs of all the pupils.
The design appeared to be merely basis
for decoration. The plans were decorative
plans and the elevations were rank in their
exhibitions of the decorative exuberance
of their designers. All this was piled upon
the monumental outlines of country
house. The traditions of this school are
too strong to admit of departure from its
methods.
We have In the architecture of Paris and
France a conspicuous exemplification OF
the fact that it has developed an archi-
lecture which is beneficial to only a very
small proportion of the people. The do
nestle architecture of the country is poor,
indeed, and it is only good in Paris, where
it follows the lines laid down by the school
and develops house Of monumental
character, something which is merely grand
and imposing, but which obliterates all
suggestions of home comfort, hospitality
and general domesticity which are at the
