For q time no satisfactory method OF
propelling the barges was conceived.
This will be the first instance In the
history OF pageants that the display
actually takes place on the water. Pre-
vIous parades OF this kind have been
mounted on wagons. Never since the
splendid pageants of Venice has there
been one like that which visitors will
see In Jackson Park. The difficulty OF
moving the barges has been overcome
by the use OF an endless cable which
will be strung on posts under the water.
To IL the barges will be gripped just as
cable car of street railway Is, being
propelled In a similar manner.

The military feature Of the cere-

AT the same moment another man

Novel Device Of Couple OF San Fran
cisco Cable Oar Men.

Novel Device OF = Couple OF Ban Efen-
cisco Cable Oar Men.
Hiram and Joe Miller, two cable
car men OF San Francisco, fixed up
for themselves decidedly novel de-
vice to get them out OF bed on time
when disposed to sleep too late In the
morning. Their scheme Is described
by the San Francisco Call:
A gripman or conductor who over
sleeps in the morning and does not
show up at the car-house In time TO
20 out on his car Is replaced by an
bther man, and can spend the day on
the park benches or splitting kin
ding wood at home. He can't work
for the company that day.
Sometimes the gripmen go TO bed
at II or / o'clock at night after run
ming on the line all day. Then they
have TO get up at A or 4:3O in the
morning.
An ordinary alarm clock worked
very we'll for the Miller boys for a
time. Then they got used to its
"whir" and it would not wake them.
Then they secured large piece OF
clock work that would run for about
a minute. TO this clockwOrk they
attached metallic hammer and be-
low it they fastened large gong
shaped door-bell.
1T made the noise twice as LOUD
and as long," said one Of the younl
men. "You see, we attached a small
chain to the winding gear OF thu
alarm clock, and that pulled a pei
which set off the improvised alarm.
"Did it work well?"
@Oh, yes. But after time'it failed
to awaken us.

renominated to Congress. Though
not a candidate for any office that
year, he made over thirty speeches in
Missouri and several other States.
His record in Congress was excellent.
He took a prominent part in the pas
sage Of the law by which the railroad
land grants made twenty-five years
ago were forfeited, and the land re-
stored to the people:
The Indians as Regular Soldiers.
The Aestion of the worth Of the
Indian as a soldier in our regular
army is not settled yet by any means.
He has his eulogists and his de-
tractors. Lieut.. Abner Pickering,
who has had no inconsiderable expert
ence With enlisted Sioux, recently
read paper on this subject at Fort
Omaha He said among other things:
considering the characteristics OF
the Indian, especially as fighting
factor, he will be most useful as a
special contingent to be used advan-
tageously in a different manner from
other troops First, regiment TAX
ing the field should have its Indian
company mounted. They do not have
to learn to ride, and very little drill
with their horses will be needed by a
company we'll drilled as infantry.
They should be used in a campaign
mainly as scouts, tlankers, look-outs,
videttes, and courierS. With the
new open-order drill they will become
quickly familiar and efficient, and
will work as well as an organization
on the fighting line. l believe that
they will develop into good shots on
the target range which, supplement
ed with their training and inbred
love Of hunting and natural affinity
for the gun, will make them for
midaDle foe" Lieutenant Pickering
found that in order to get efficient
service from his Indians he had to
treat them more Familiarity than it is
the habit of commissioned officers TO
treat white soldiers, but neither dis.
cipline nor their regard for him
seemed to suffer thereby. Capt. c.
S. Burbank Of the Tenth Infantry,
while admitting that the Apache
company of soldiers of whom he has
had command obey orders implicitly
and promise to make excellent sol
diers," declares that "they have not
the courage of the white man or OF
the negro. They would rather steal
up behind man and shoot him in
the back. They follow the lead OF
those in command and If by any
chance superior officers show the
white feather they will undoubtedly
scatter and cannot again be brought
into the fight. They cannot in any
way compare with the colored troops,
who are among the best sort OF men
that have ever enlisted in the regu-
lar army Of the United States"
