BEES THAT ARE COUSINS.
, The humble bee and the honey making bee
proper are cousins. Scientifically speaking
they are families belonging to the same order
Four species of honey bees are known. Three
of them are indigenous to India and are found
nowhere save in that part of the world The
forth, known as the ''Melli6ca." is distributed
all over the globe. 1t includes a number
Of, varieties all of which were yery
likely derived from one stock at the
beginning. Bees, like rats, have spread with
man. though from different cause, They have
accompanied the human race as servants not as
scavengers. 1t is well known that the ancients
kept bees. They are frequently represented
on the monuments of Egypt. and in that coun-
try centuries before Cleopatra reigned thew
were cultivated on q very large scale. Thou
sands Of barges freighted with hives were
foated up and down the Nile in order to afford
the insects pasture on the flowers along the
banks.
There were no bees in America until the sev
enteenth century, when the common black va
riety was brought over from GERMANY II in
that kind which swarms all over the United
States today. But within recent years bee
keeping has been reduced to scientific princi-
pies, and so it has been sought to procure from
abroad finer breeds. Important among these
is the Italian, which was fetched to this country
first in 1859. Italian bees have many adyan-
tages from the industrial point OF view. They
are docile and easily handled, they are very
prolific and they protect their hives better than
the black ones do from the ravages of the
wax moths. These moths lay their eggs
in the combs, and the larve feed upon the wax
and pollen, destroying the cells In 1881 Mr..
Benton, q well-known expert, went abroad and
brought hither other choice breeds from
Cyprus. Syria and Palestine. These, particu-
larry the Cyprian, are all very handsome and
thoroughly business bees, possessing extraordi-
nary energy in honey gsthering. They are
irritable and for that reason dificuit TO handle,
unless one knows how.

4 Paper Thinks II Court Martial
Should Decide the Controversy.

The Kansas City Times, which is one
of the best informed papers in the West
on army affairs, has the following to say
in regard to the Appel-MIzner suit now
before the courts here: Col. Fl. r.
MINERS correspondence relating to As
sistant Surgeon A. Fl. Appel as pub
lished in the Times Sunday fully j~ustiies
the doctor in taking steps to have his
character indicated from the aspersions
cast upon it BY his commanding officer,
but the Times still adheres to the views
expressed some days ago that a proper
tribunal before which to obtain a clear
title is a general court martial and not a
civil court. The very fact that the au-
thoritIes refused TO remove DIR. Appel
from his post of duty clearly indicates the
confidence and respect in which he is held
and that Col. MINERS accusations were
known to be not true. The department
can do NO less than bring the officer to
trial upon charges such as the petition
filed with the civil court contains. The
latter has no business with tbs case. The
correspondence is strictly of an official
nature and only saw the light of day when
inserted in the petition and filed with the
clerk of the court.
The correspondence shows upon Its face
that the conduct OF the commanding
officer was prompted from personal mo-
tives and not from any desire to promote
the interests of the service.
No matter what the rank or command
of an officer. he should not be permitted
to go unpublished for making accusations
OF a personal nature he is unable to
prove.
DR.. Appel has evidently been grievously
wronged, and the officer causing the
offense should be brought to a proper ac-
count. He should not be permitted to
step down and out, taking his place on
the retired list of the army after making
such wholesale accusations against a
brother officer, without a demand being
made upon him to produce his proof be-
fore a properly constituted military
tribunal.
The Times suggests to DIR. Appel to
withdraw his civil suit against Col. Miner
and formulate his charges under the mill
tary code and demand his trial. In this
he would have the hearty support OF all
officers OF the army opposed to official
slanderers.

CHANCE FOR WYOMING YOUTH.
A Civil Service Examination TO be
Held In June.

A late Associated Press dispatch con-
veYs the intelligence that the navy de-
partment is much concerned over the
small number of cadets who have been
nominated to appear at the naval academy
for examination. The majority of the
members Of the house Of representatives
who have the privileges Of nominating
these cadets, have failed to send in the
names Of their candidates, and but twenty
six boys have appeared at the Annapolis
academy for examination. This will re-
suit in an unusually large examination
class neXt September, by which date the
vacancies must be filed.
To a LEADER reporter, who inquired
how Wyoming stood IN reference to rep
resentation at West Point and Annapolis,
information was given by Senator Carey
that Wyoming's representative in West
Point was a young man from Buffalo
named Hart, son of Mrs. Juliet W. Hart
of that city. The Wyoming representa-
tive at Annapolis is a young boy from
Mississippi who was sent there by Secre-
tary Tracey, the boy sent there from
Wyoming, Charles Bonils, having failed
in the entrance examination.
Bonfls was the only applicant from
Wyoming and the secretary of the navy
claimed the right upon his failure of Aom-
snating a boy in his place. He nay, how
ever, remedy the matter by allowing
Wyoming to send a boy to the academy
next fall. If he does not, and neither of
the boys accredited to Wyoming fail in
this years examinations, there will be no
appointments to be made from Wyoming
this year.
A chance, however. will be given WYo-
ming youths to enter the departmental
service at Washington or the railway mail
service as civil service examinations will
be held here in June for these branches
for all applicants.
A number OF persons have already
given notice of their intention to apply.
The necessary blanks and instructions can
be obtained from the civil service commits
sion at Washington on application.

GOOD WORDS FROM DILLON.
The U. p. VIII Stand by Western
Cities IN Which 1t Has Interests.

Special Dispatch to the Leader.
OMAHA, NAV 2l.-Sidney Dillon in
conversation this morning said that the
Union Pacific road would stand by the
Western cities in which it had interests.
1t had been decided he said to increase
the capacity of the shops, to again manu-
facture car wheels and to re-establish the
foundrys on a larger basis than of old and
to increase Its source all along the line.
The working force would be correspond.
ingly increased to meet the growing de-
mands made upon the shops. This de-
mand had not been properly met in re.
cent years.
The same policy would also obtain, he
said, at Lincoln and Grand Island.
Shortly after the Adams regime assumed
control the working force at the latter
points was cut down to an extent that
those towns was considerably crippled.
The old order of things will be resumed.
Mr.. Dillon was asked about the status
of the bridge and union depot case. He
said that nothing could be done until the
SUIT Of the Rock Island against the Union
Pacific had been adjudicated. The court
would not reach it for a few months but
Mr.. Dillon said that there was no DISPOSE
ton to cripple any city and he hoped that
matters would soon be adjusted whereby
work could proceed all along the line. He
saw the extreme need OF the improve
ment as did also the new directory of the
road

The hallway is very WIDE and like the whole

the first glance. for the ceilings here. well
IN all the rooms are low, and the general effect
of the furnishing and decoration is dark. All
the woodwork on the first floor. iii the excep-
tiOn of the main staircase. Is painted q dead
black. The Tnanteis. the door frames the win
dow frames and seats are all of this somber hue.
but the effect is decidedly pleasing. The gen
eral tone IL sI1bdued and. in q sense, the house
looks old. There is nothing glaring and there
are no striking effects anywhere. Almost all of
the furniture in the lower part of the house is
very old. large part OF it having been used
for certainly more than half century by Mr..
Charles o Connor. the great lawyer.
Every window in the house is diamond
nected with the lighting of the house ia that

and in al the larger rooms the windows are

avoided. In the hall the windows IRE on both

the walls finished in the same peculiar
shade of red that seems to run through the
design Of the whole house as the underlying
motive.

Panied aad Latticed Windows.

One Of the most interesting features con-
nected with the growth Of Washington in re-
cent wears il the remarkable way in which the
CITY has spread out toward the northwest, over
the heights that once seemed such a natural
boundary for the city, and down into the valley
of Rock creek and beyond SO that now it would
be difficult matter indeed to say how far it
should 60 and no farther. Some of the most
artistic houses are to be found in this section,
and the very fact of the abundance of room
that was to be had has given a freedom Of stye
TO the architecture and sort of suburban tone
TO all the residences that is decidedly pleasing.
One Of the most attractive houses in this
part OF the city and one that has received as
much favorable attention as any is ''Tangle-
bank" the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Parker Mann.
Located a. almost the western end of Kali
Drama avenue il is on the very crest of the hill
that commands such a magnificent view of the
Rock Greek valley and the hills beyond. 1t
would be hard to imagine more delightful
location at any time of year, for while to all
intents and purposes 1t Is in the country. Yet il
Is but a short distance from the heart of the
city. section of the city anatomy that Is rap

line house itself is in keeping with its loca-
tiOn. Architects, they say, repeat their own
ideas, and sometimes other peoples, but Tan
glebank is original From foundation to
weather vane 1t Is the creation of its artist
owner, who has succeeded in constructing a
house that is artistic and quaint well emf
nently comfortable and hOmelike. Ones first
idea on approaching the house Is that it is low
and. in q way. rambling. The first story is of
red brick and the woodwork around it is all of
a dull shade of green, while the second story is
shingled and finished in the same pleasing
shade of red the first. The steep pitch of
the roof in places and number of piazzas and
quaint gables peeping out in various places
nipsin the bud any idea Of monOtony in the
general effect.
