THE NEW MILITARY BILL.
Some Comments Upon it by a Militar
Man.

Some Comments Upon it by Military
Man.
In an interview on the military bill
yesterday an officer who is in a position
to know said: There is no intention of
making forty-eight companies at
present. The law now allows forty
companies and there are only thirty
eight in existence. The bill is intended
to meet all requirements for several
years to come and the Increase at any
time can be only on action by state au-
thorities. The actual increase of ex-
pense to the state by the change in the
provision for payment is small. partlcu-
larly when the work required of officers
and men is considered. Carefully
figured down it may net $500 a year.
The bill is based on the best similar
bills in the other states and is warmly
endorsed by such men as Judge Fem
and others acquainted with the require
ments. 1t is necessary to the successful
maintenance of the National Guard in
coming years."

NEW YORK, May Slate last night,
Thomas Stewart, a collector for Scrib-
ner's Publishing Co, returned to his
home and found his wife in company
with Charles G. Radecke, an express
man, 80 years of age. The irate hus-
band, after administering a severe
pounding to the expressman, drew q re-
volver and fired three shots at the un-
conscious man. One Of the bullets
entered at the shoulder and caused q
fatal wound. Stewart then went to the
Harlem police station and gave himself

MYSTERY OF THE WOODS.
Skeleton Found In a FOrsalken Spot Mes
Barkhameted.

BarkhAmeoeds
WNsTED, May 3.-George Moulthrop
of Riverton found skeleton, apparently
that of an old man, in the woods Mon
day afternoon. Beside the skeleton were
a pair of silver spectacles, several brass
buttons and two 10-cent pieces. The
body was found in High Ledge woods,
mile from Barkhamsted Hollow.
1t is now thifty years since an old
man named Barney Moses set fire to q
barn in Riverton, and was chased into
the woods by mob, and it is thought
that these bones belonged to Barney.
Nothing was ever heard of the man
after he disappeared into the woods.

Asiatic ck-MakinS.

We should hardly expect to learn
much about the arts of civilized life
from the tribes of central Asia, and
yet, according to NJ. Edouard Blanc.
some of the inhabitants of western
Mongolia know how to make better
brick than we can make. They use
the same material as we do, and sim
gularly enough the thing that gives
superiority to their process of brick
making is one of the most powerful
agents of western civilization, steam.
When the bricks have been baked
for three days the opening of the oven
is closed with felt, which is kept wet,
so that the bricks, still intensely heat
ed. are enveloped in steam.
This process causes a remarkable
change in the character of the bricks.
From red they turn gray and at the
same time they acquire remarka BILE
degree of toughuess and hardness.
Although porous they give out sound
when struck like hat of clink-stone
and they resist the effects of the
weather much better than do the
bricks of Europe snd America.
Necessity, as usual, was the mother
of invention in this case. for the eli
mate in which these ingenious Mon
gols live is subject to great extremes
of temperature, which have Il disas-
trous effect upon bricks made by the
ordinary process. - Youths Con4paatoa.

| matters has been grossly at variance
with his previously pledged and ex-
pressed opinions. His administra-
ton has not been marked by any
such potent and startling individual
ism as was seen during the term of
his predecessor. He is as unpopular
with many of the leading spoilsmen
of his party as Cleveland was at the
close of his first term, but has proved
no such aggressive and efficient
champion of reform ideas as the lat
ter was and is. 1t is the evident
ambition of President Harrison to
lead his party back to victory as
Cleveland did after a 4-year interim.
He will probably fail. His personal
ity has not impressed the country
with anything like the power exer-
eised by his predecessor. BY
common consent Cleveland is listed
with the greatest Municipalities seen
in the presidential office since the
government was founded. Benjamin
Harrison must be satisfied with a
place alongside of Polk, Pierce and
Hayes, and the other respectable
mediocrities who have preceded him
in the presidential office. These men
proved themselves the possessors of
abilities lifting them far above the
crowd, but their occupancy of the
presidential office and not what they
did therein is their title to lasting
fame. They are the mediocrities of
political greatness whose lower stat
ure makes more conspicuous the

Country Hotels.

You have all heard of the rival
hotels in 4 town, which ruin each other
by the process of cutting rates and
Safeguarding their rivals. A much
better plan was that followed by the
proprietors of the only two hotels in
the town of Webster few years ago.
1t was taeitly agreed that the trade
was to be divided between the two.
Accordingly.to one hote! ali the drum
mers who struck town betook them
selves and travelling man who had
tried hanging up at the other hostelry
would have found a cold welcome.
On the other hand, all the show COM
panies put up with the other landlord.
The drummers were made happy with
sample-rooms. meals at hours con-
yenient to the trains and a big room
where storytelling could go on into
the wee sma' hours. The theatrical
folk at the other place had late break
fssts. midnight suppers and the beef
steak and onions which every country
landlord considers an indispensable
dish for the table that caters to show
people. In this way neither of the
hotels starved and both sets of people
were better cared for than if they had
indiscriminately gone to either place.

EmperorWilliam, of Germany, has
turned over a new leaf. He has made
some remarkable speeches since he
mounted the throne of his fathers,
mostly the result of dining well, and
the world had come to look for
strong language whenever he opened
his month. Whether he talked to
his faithful Brandenburgers, at the
mess table with his officers or to his
soldiers after a review, it was all the
same. He never failed to threaten
somebody or something. At one time
it was the old statesman who had
welded together the empire which he
rules who excited his imperial wrath
at another it was the socialists, while
at another it was the ear or the
French republic at whom he shook
his finger. His favorite threat was
to pulverize his enemies, and hall
Europe was kept in.constant expecta-
ton of being ground to powder under
the heel of Hohenzollern boot.
This year the emperor has opened

subjects. No German is warned to
quit the fatherland and no foreign
foe is told to get ready to be crushed.
He is still the God-giyen ruler of the
country, the jewellers therein are still
his people and it is he, not they, who
will do the things which will inure to
his glory and their benefit. But he
will be graciously pleased to accept
the help of his subjects and none OF
them need fear the pulverizing pro-
cess if they only behave themselves
and do what they are told. As EN-.
perors go, this is decided improve
ment, and if the young man keeps or
in that line he may in time develop
into a constitutional ruler with rea
sonable ideas. But it looks more like
the calm that precedes the storm thar
