THE INFANTRY SQUARE.
The French Said to Have Used a New
Method in Breaking 1t.
London Truth


discussion seems TO be going on as to
whether an infantry square can be broken
by a charge Of men on foot or on horseback.
To the non military turn Of mind this would
seem impossible, provided that the square is
properly formed. But read the other day
that the French in Dahomey cast melinite
bombs into an intrenchment of the enemy,
with the result that the assailants them
selves had 10 fall back in order not to be
destroyed by the sufforating fumes.
Is this fact or an effort of the journals

ting such fumes that the square would
cease to exist? Admitting the truth of the
statement, it seems to me likely 10 render
war so exceedingly dangerous pastme
that few sane human beings will be willing
to engage in it.

Street Fakirs Sell Souvenir Coins.
Chicago Tribune. Dec. 80

Last evening new feature Of the distri-
button of souvenir coins was developed.
The street fakirs had obtained supplies Of
the shining beauties and were plying a
lively trade "Here's your souvenir coins.
Don't neglect an opportunity to get one. !"
was the cry. The price was 81 % each. and
Judging by the number sold 1t was evident
that many people had not availed them
selves of the opportunity of ordering the
souvenirs at some bank. whore they could
have been obtained at 81 each. 1t Is prob
able that In anticipation Of lively demand
the enterprising fakirs had deposited at
some of the banks several days ago. and
thus secured them yesterday on presenta-
tien OF their orders.

Hughes il parduned.

The press dispatches announce
that James Hughes. the master work
of the Rochester Clothing Cutters
union. who was serving a one years
sentence al Sing Sing for eXtortiOn
of money, has been pardoned by Gov,
Flower. Hughes. it will be remem-
bered, Travelled through this section
and it was while here last February
that he received word to 90 back and
begin work on his sentence. The
case was detailed in The ARGUS at
the time and was watched with con-
siderable interest all over the coun-
try. Hughes, it is claimed as a rep
resentative of the locked out cloth
inc cutters of Rochester, had offered
to have the boycotts removed if the
different firms would paw certain
sums which he named. He was ar
rested and convicted of eXtortion and
his case was carried up but in the
end he went to work on his sentence.
The boycotts have since been re
moved and Hughes pardoned.

Uruguay's President at the Play.

Our London friends having been appar-
emily much amused at a recent note of ours
respecting President Herrera of Uruguay
at the theater we give them little more
information on the subject from personal
observation. His eminence, except on state
occasions, never sits at the front of his
stage box, but keeps modestly in the back
ground placing his friends i'll front of him.
He is invariably armed with one of the
largest pairs of opera glasses ever made,
which he uses constantly, either directed
toward the stage or toward the cazuela
where Montevidean beauties mostly do con
gregate, for although II. E. may be weak in
the financial line he has a remarkably keen
eye for pretty woman.
Low, satirical papers occasionally repre-
sent him with a coryphee seated on each
knee, but that of course is SANDER At all
events he has never been so seen in public.
He has quick ear for joke and laughs
heartily. He prefers ballet and comic opera
to tragedy. Any company with a snowy
troop of chorus girls is sure of his patron
age. He is by no means a dandy in his
dress, wearing a quiet frock coat, an i'll
regulated tie and at times decidedly
shabby round hat. AS he is an understood
man this does not contribute to q dignified
appearance. He rarely takes any one with
him in his brougham, but generally drives
away alone. When he is at the theater the
box opposite his is always occupied by a
stout lady of imposing appearance and with
white hair.-Montevideo Times.
