NO NEWS FROM MILES.
But the War Department Thinks Gen. Miles
Is Master of the Situation.

But the War Department Thinks Gen. Miles
IL Master of the Situation.
There were no kilograms from Gen. Miles in
the War Department this morning, and the
idea prevailed that the situation had I'M
changed at Pine Ridge. In war. as in many
other phases Of life, the theory that no news is
good news is somewhat faulty, but in the
present case it is the generally accepted belief
in official circles that Gen. Miles has control of
the telegraph lines connecting Pine Ridge with
the outside world and it would have TO be a
terrible calamity. almost beyond the realm of
the possible, that would so destroy his means of
communication as 20 prevent his announcing
it to the authorities here. The opinion is
spreading that the crisis of the campaign, SO
often predicted and so long deferred, is really
near at hand, and the policy of Gen. Miles,
which has been somewhat of mystery when
viewed at this distance, appears to be crystal
izing to o sufficient degree to allow an explana-
ton.
GEN. MILES PLAN.
An intelligent observant officer, speaking to
a STAR reporter this morning, said that it
seems to have been made apparent that Gen.
Miles has, to a certain extent. been hampered
in his formation of a policy" by the constant
admonitions of the administration to settle the
fight without hight. to be Hibernian in express
sion. He added: For long time il has seemed

A CRAZY MAN ON ICE.
An Inmste Of 81. Eliz.beth's Takss . ssippsry
Way Of Escaping.

u
Way Of Escaping.
This morning between IL and II O'Clock
many persons stood along the shores Of the
Anacostia river and watched in breathless
silence the antics Of an insane man on the ice
The man had been confined In ST. Elixabeth's,
and when he went out this morning for exercise
he thought he would take advantage of the ice
on the river and escape 10 the city before any
of the attendants could overtake hin
The man was William T. RufIer, who had
been sent 10 the asylum for treatment IRON
Key West, Fla, where he was In the marine
service. His particular delusion was that some
one was applying electricity to him all the
time and when he once got on the ice he acted
tached 20 him. He went along all right
until the channel was reached and
then he went down. He struggled
hard 20 again get back where the ice vas strong
enough 20 hold him.
Persons on the bridge and along the shore
watched his movements, but they all seemed
afraid TO 60 10 his assistance either for fear Of
being drowned or because they were sfraid Of
the insane man.
Finally, after severe struggles, The poor man
got out OF the water and on the The Zoe where
it was strong enough 20 hold him
The asylum authorities noticed TIE police

cincts for the river front but before they
reached there the man bad been secured and

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
WIZ TIE DIsTRIcr PAYS MORE FOE ICE rnAx o.

WIZ THE pnTRIcr PAYS MORE roR ICE THAN UNCLE
SAN.
Several days ago the first auditor Of the
Treasury wrote . letter to the Commissioners
asking why it was that the District had 10 pay
more for ice furnished the local government
than that furnished the United States for use in
the public buildings Of the city. Auditor Petty
has answered the inquiry, saying that the diff
ference in the cost Is due 10 the fact that the
ice companies when they furnish the general
government deliver the ice In bulk, while that
contracted for by the District 10 delivered al
about the city in small pieces. The cost Of
hauling and the handling incident thereto, Mr.
Petty thinks, accounts for the increase In cost
He says the ice companies are not anxious for
the trade, and that Il Il hard mat>sr 10 get

AFTER THE POLICY MEN.
Three More Prisoners Held for Action Of tn
Grand Jury.


Grand Jury.
William Henry Harrison and Robert Carter,
colored men. who, the police, say, earn their
living by writing policy, were seated in a room
in house 2109 L street last night when Policemen
Redgrave and Hanley visited the house for the
purpose of making arrests. The men got sight
of the officers and some one in the room threw
some papers into the stove. Then the door was
opened and one Of the alleged writers invited
the officers in, as he said, like a gentleman.
In desk in the room the officers
found more han a peck Of policy
paraphernalia and they took desk and all to
the police station. and this morning Harrison
and Carter were taken to the Police Court,
where the desk was also taken as evidence.
When arrested Carter remarked: II write for
Pink Cross Of the old firm and / amt going
to deny it," while his companion said: Il work
for the skin firm" The officers explained
to Judge Miller that the latter firm was the one
that paid no hits. The defendants were held
in $500 each for the grand jury. French Ross,
another policy writer, who was arrested near
10th and G streets, was also held for the grand
jury.

domestic Animals Running at Large In Inn.
proved Suburbs to Be Captured.
The Commissioners, acting upon the recon-
incubation of Health Officer Townshend, have
issued an order extending the area for taking
up domestic animals found running at large
SO as to include all improved subdivisions
within the District Under this order the work
of Poundmaster Einstcin will be greatly in
creased, but the order will not go into effect
until the health officer issues the necessary
regulations for the increased work.
The issuance of this order was found neces-
sary because cows were running at large on
several of the new subdivisions and DESTROYING
the sodding.
The poundmaster has not yet received his
instructions for carrying this order into effect,
but it is understood that particular attention is
to be paid to the large domestic animals, such
as horses and cows, although dogs, goats and
other small animals will be picked up when
found.

"a Rose by Any Other Name"

81 want marriage license" said q colored
man to the clerk of the court few days ago,
adding, .'not for myself, though"
'Whats the name?" asked the clerk.
The man attempted to give the name, which
sounded like Bronaugh, but the clerk could
not clearly understand it and asked him to
spell it.
81 can't spell ii, boss, but it is -" was the
answer of the man who gave the name, but
failed to make himself understood.
Spell it some way, boss" he said. You
know rose by any other name will smell as
sweet. Give me the paper for him and he'll
get her name or no name"
The clerk got nearly as possible to the
name by sound and received the dollar fee with
the assurance that the paper would do.

Oh, NOTHING!
Say what is nothing? Can You tell
Its nature, or describe the spell,
Which rests upon it? Can yon say
That nothing has existence? Pray
Tell us then. if nothing has no life,
How is the world, with living, rife?
And if it have existence, then,
Whence did it come. and how, and when?
The great Creator made the earth
From nothing. From nothing. gave it birth;
We know that, but tn ere's none to state
That God made nothing He is great,
And made all things. Hence how could He
Make nothing? 1t is plain to zee
That nothing is Divinity.
From nothing, nothing take and still
You nothing have. Do what you will
With nothing, and there is no change.
Nothing is far beyond the range
OF him, who wills; yet, who so weak,
As nothing to attain? We seek
For nothing and we are content;
We find it, and our ife's misspent.
The blind see nothing, and the ear,
Which hears it. does not, can not hear.
On nothing, in our dreams we tread;
II we feel nothing we are dead.
Nothing can make us cringe and cover,
For nothing is beyond Gods power.
