Lightning at Medicine Lodge.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
1.-THE strangest accident that ever fell within
my observation" said Harold Chapman to a
friend in the Lindell, occurred at my home in
Medicine Lodge, Kan. One day in May, 1889. l
was driven into the house by o thunder
shower. The rain moderated in few minutes.
however, and took a chair and sat out on the
porch. My youngest boy was playing with a
tin cup, catching water from the rain pipe and
pouring il along rut in the floor. The water
ran along this rut out into the cistern platform.
While he was STOPPING to fill the cup from the
rain pipe flash Of lightning came, seemingly
attracted by the iron cistern pump. The cur
rent lesped from the pump to the current Of
water that ran along the porch and flashed
along its course to the end. As providence. ac-
cident. ill-luck or something else would have it,
our Thomas cat had come out from the kitchen
and was standing close to the wet gutter made
BY pouring Of the water. The cat received the
full benefit OF the fash and lay scorched and
dead in an instant Now. / saw that fash dis
tinctly aid saw it travel from the iron pump
along that gutter to the cat II NV boy had
been there the result would have been the
same. II he had not, why suppose il would
have been attracted toward one of us and se-
rious results might have followed. slightly
imagine that owe my life TO that cats i'll fate.
I am much obliged to the cat"

The only decreases TO be noted are $50. 00i. -

the decrease in the principal of the public debt
and the failure of the Harrison administration
to provide for the sinking fund as required by
law.
The increased postal expenditures are here
shown to be the same as the increased postal
receipts, the deficiency of revenues for this

Tho Rifles and the National Guard.

To tue EDITOR OF the EveninV Star:
The remarks of Lieut. Geo. W. Evans of the
National Rifles. in an interview published in
last evenings STAR, should be taken as Mr.
Evans opinions only. as they do not convey a
proper idea of the feelings OF the rank and file
OF the Rifles toward the National Guard of the
District.
While it il true that the Rifles for what they
thought at the time and still think are good
and sufficient reasors) declined to become II
part OF the Guard. they are as a whole, friendly
TO them. and on any and all occasions are will
ing to and do give them the credit they deserve.
IL we have been Implored and beseeched and
are now being subjected to the forcing process,
why, we don't know it. 1t is true that we we're
invited TO join the Guard. also true that we
declined 1t is hoped that Mr.. Evans remarks
will be taken by the public for what they are
an individuals opinion. RIFLE.

Conducting War on Snow shoes.

From .he CHICAGO Inter-Ocean.
A novel idea of military operations in the
great lake region in winter is outlined by Capt.
Thomas Sharp, U. s. A. After citing thu COM
mercial importance of the waterway between
the lakes and the sea and the incalculable bene-
fits of proposed canal system that Will let an
ocean steamer loaded at Chicago discharge its
freight at Liverpool he proceeds 20 the serious
question Of who shall control the great gate
way to this country, the St. Lawrence river.
The discussion of the commercial question
need not be entered upon here, all who have
given the matter any thought at all know that
the advantages of a direct. adequate COM
munication between the great lakes and the sea
mean the saving of many millions of dollars a
year.
The vital thing. in Capt. Sharp's little PAM
phet is the explanation OF the ease with which
Canada could get possession OF and control this
source and its traffic in the event of war with
this country. The whole secret OF the advan-
tage as set forth is the facility with which the
Canadian forces could operate in winter by
reason of their being habituated to the use of
snow shoes. We're bostilities declared when
the snow lay deep on the ground the Canadians
could move into formidable offensiveness with
such promptness to be strongly intrenched
in strategic positions before the American
forces could be advanced to the borders.
Comparatively few Americans along the
northern border are accustomed to snowshoes
and in the military service such thing as
snowshoe practice is unknown. Capt. Sharp
proposes that this practice be adopted as
means to our protection on the north against a
possible foe that has learned to mass its forces
at given point despite the depth of the inter-
vening snow.
The idea is not to be scoffed at 1t suggests
O mode of warfare that we nav be called upon
TO encounter, and the great thing in a nations
defense is eternal preparedness in every direc-
ton from which assault is to be feared. More
over the manufacture Of snowshoes for army
use would establish new industry that might
employ goodly number Of workmen.

There is no place in the District Of Columbia
SO completely frozen under as the river front.
There are no arrivals and no departures save
the Norfolk and Washington propellers. The
river front people absolutely move with a
shiver and declare that it is the worst freeze in
twenty years.
The Colgrove transportation lines steamer
Edmarth. hence for Florida. was at Charleston
from last accounts. Capt. Tulle and Chief En-
gineer Gatchell are back Washing
ton and report having had rough
time in the Edmarth. Engineer Gatchell
thinks that probably he may go next into the
pleasuring. Capt. 1ulle will perhaps remain
inactive till the excursion season opens, when he
goes in command OF one OF the steamers Of the
River View feet.

Caleb W. Durham has, by j. Nota McGill,
filed a bill in equity against ". E. Simonds,
commissioner of patents, to compel the issuance
of patent for drainage apparatus. He stated
that he made application January 10. 1855, and
after divers appeals and rehearings it was
finally, on January IS last, rejected; that APP
peal was taken to the Supreme Court Of the
District and the decision of the commissioner
on June ID was affirmed. He states that he be-
leves he is entitled to letters patent; that was
unknown prior to his invention or discovery
and is of great commercial value, and he had
placed it on the market and it has gone into
general use, and sundry persons are making the
devices and causing him great injury. He there
fore prays that he may be protected by de-
cree directing the patent to issue.

Complaint of Street Car Service,

To tire Editor OF The Evening Star:
The most uncomfortably cold cars in the
District are those run over the Anacostia road.
The managers do not even put straw in them,
and during this late cold snap they have been
fairly icy all over the floor and draughty from
the doors, so that passengers necessarily max
ing the trip from day to day have in several in
stances taken terrible colds or been ILL., OF course
the superintendent Of the road has, as result had
no end Of compliments. but there are those who
begin to think that ''hints to conductors or
private ''growls" do no good, and that a word
OF outspoken indignation will express the feel
ings Of many Anacostians on the subject of
these filthy and cold cars There is also placard
up in these cars which reads, PLEASE do not
spit on floor; cleanliness is q virtue" Not
outstanding certain gentlemen CD almost
daily spit pints Of tobacco Juice in the corners
or on the floor unrebuked to the disgust of the
lady passengers. 1t is time whoever spits on
the floor will be put of by the conductor
took the place Of that mild invitation to be
''virtuous." ANAcosr1AN.
