The bullel-pfool coat, Of which much
mas been written lately, may have
suggested the idea Of the steel cuirass
patented by Captain Francis soyn-
ton, which, according to an exchange,
was tested recently 10 the presence Of
military authorities IN England, auu

has aimed al giving the soldiers Of tue
Infantry a perfect shield. Tnis Is 90
constructed that Il serves az II rest for
the u flo whom II II discharged aud

bullets fall harmless. The idea Ia that
every soldier should carry With him
such n shield, when under hfv, anu
lie behind II when he shoots,
placing thr muzzle In slot provided
ior that purpose. The plates are ~
made that any number Of them eau ho
locked together, Ia two tiers n neoc,-
sary, forming continuous breastwork,
behind which a company IN two ranks
might lind cover.
AZ the test u number OF shields were
aubmitted 10 inspection. One OF them
was fired at live times by Lve-Met'

-Four bullets struck tho plate within a
circular mark ABOUT thes.2s oi n penny,
and another shot hit u just

expected at his reported new post of duty
In Washington. Until a new minister shaI
have been appointed and reported for duty
Mr.. Tsunejiro Miyaoka, secretary of the

Mr.. Kentaro Kaneko, who will undoubted-

Is man Of great distinction In his own

Since then he has visited the leading coun-
tries OF Europe, and has made an ex-
haustive study of their systems Of govern
n emit. The result of this experience was
shown on his return to his native country
when he framed the code of parliamentary
practice which now governs their senate
and house. At one time he was general
secretary of the imperial house Of peers. a
position corresponding to. that of secretary
OF the United States Senate Since then he
has held the office of vice minister Of agri-
culture and commerce, and has written
many valuable works on economical cues
Tors. Notwithstanding his comparatively
short career-he is only about forty-tvo
years of age-he has already taken a high
place among the diplomats of the world

WORTHLESS OLD DEEDS.
Swindlers Succeed In Getting Consid-

ALBANY, N. Y. August 3.-Swindlers
have obtained number of old deeds of a
tract OF land just taken by the city of AL
bany for park purposes. and the county
clerk has already received notice of their
operations.
One is from Eugene c. Allison of Sun

communication. accompanied by a deed of
property at Martin street. which had been
decided by A. Freeman's wife Of the city OF
Schenectady to somebody whose name Is
been substituted. The original grantee was
a resident of Pittsfield. The deed was
made out IN 1880 and put on record in 1904
The scheme was worked by two men. who
gave their names Alfred Brady and
John Leonard. They had secured possess
sion Of old deeds of a number of pieces Of
property bought up by the Beaver Park
commission.
The sharpers would approach their victim
and ask for loan of a certain amount of
money on valuable land situated on Martin
street near the Beaver Park. They prorYlis-
ed to pay liberal interest, and the victim
would be glad to loan money on such good
security. and would accordingly give the
loan and take security the worthless
old deeds. Then the bunco men would de-
part. leaving no trace of the direction they
had taken.

VESTED IN COMMISSIONERS
Control Of Freedmen's Hospital and Asylum
Under Them.
Opinion of Assistant Attorney Cen
cral Hall Rendered TOday-The
Law on the Subject.

Assistant Attorney General Hail holds In
an opinion rendered to the Commissioners
today that the supervision and control OF
expenditures for the Freedmen's Hospital
and Asylum was placed under the Commits
sioners, and that the control Of property
heretofore purchased, as well as that here
after purchased. was transferred from the
supervision of the Secretary Of the Interior
and placed under the Commissioners under
the act Of March 3, 1893.
The opinion is as follows: "The statute IN
question Is a portion of the appropriation
act of March 3. 1893. providing for expenses
of the government Of the District of Co
lumbia fer the fiscal year ending June 30,
1894 Under the head Of charities in said
act $o3,U2o are appropriated for the of
said hospital and apportioned to special
purposes. such as subsistence. salaries.
rent. fuel, clothing, medical supplies fur
ntture, ETC., with the following provision il
the concluding paragraph: And hereafter
the expenditures for the Freedmen's Hos
pital and Asylum shall be under the super
vision and control of the Commissioners Of
the District of Columbia
The rela items of the department to this in
stitution, prior to the passage of the act
above cited. depend upon The act of June
%, 1874 as Stat, 223t making appropria-
ton for sundry civil expenses of the gov
eminent, which provided:
Hospital IN the District of Columbia shall
until otherwise ordered by Congress, be con-
tinued under the direction Of the Secretary
OF the Interior, who shall make all estt-
mates and pass all accounts and shall be
accountable to the treasury of the United
States FOE all expenditures; and all property
including hospital and quartermaster's
stores, belonging to said hospital. and now
in charge of the War Department be also
transferred to the Interior Department.
Under this legisla ton the department was
placed in charge Of said institution and
given general control Of its affairs, and this
general control was not modified by Con-
gress until the passage of the act in ques-
ton, which transfers the supervision and
control of the expenditures" OF said hos
pital to the Commissioners Of the District
of Columbia.
proper exercise of this Supervision and
control would seem to carry with 1t the
power to determine the necessity of pa--
ticular expenditures on behalf of the hos
the supplies already on hand In other
words all matters involving expenditures
are now under the provision and control OF
the District Commissioners, and this CON
troll cannot be effectively exercised in the
absence of a corr spending control Of prop
erty heretofore. or hereafter, purchased for
the use of the hospital in the disposition of
the appropriations made therefor.
1t Is therefore my opinion that the con-
troll of said property was by said act trans
ferred from the Secretary OF the Interior to
the Commissioners of the District

THEY WE'RE MARRIED..
Two Loving Hearts Made One Early
This Morning.

Two Washington hearts with but a single
thought sought bliss in matrimony and
found 1t at O'Clock this morning ut Sleeps
head. New York. The affair was conducted
with remarkable suddenness and this publ
cation will prove a shock to q large circle
OF interested friends The parties at inter
est are Miss Laura n. Vansant. cashier In
the Family Shoe Store. and Mr.. William II.
Baker. jr., late an employee In the Capitol
restaurant Miss yansant Is the daughter
OF NJ. ]. Vansant. a driver In the employ of
Samuel j. Palmer. and lived with her IA
Their. stepmothsr and family of little broth
ers and sisters. az 1000 Virginia avenue.
Baker and Miss Laura had been warm
friends for a number of months and it was
currently reported in that neighborhood
that fate had destined each for the other.
1t Is understood that the suit Of the young
man was not regarded With especial favor
by the family of the bride, and that he was
invited to discontinue his attentions This
was only one OF the rough places In the
course OF this true love. Three weeks ago
Miss Laura was given a vacation by her
employer and started on to visit relations
at TrevOst. Bucks county, Pa. Her family
here received several letters from the young
LADY. stating that she was having big
time, but none OF these letters contained
any tntimatiOn that she was going to enter
Into holy alliance with her erstwhile low
er. The family also lost track OF Mr.. Ba-
ker about two months ago. and IL was given
out IN some quarters that he had gone west.
and one OF the friends OF the young man
said that he had gone TO Long Island TO &C
cept a position there similar to the one he
had filled at the Capitol restaurant
Miss Laura was expected home tomorrow
and would resume work on Monday morn
ing Star man called this afternoon at
the family residence and had a talk with
Mrs NanSant- She could not believe It.
She did not think that Laura would do
anything so abrupt Laura and Mr.. Baker
had been keeping company for some time
but they didn't think that Il was q serious
arair There must be some mistake about
this. SOMEBODY has put this up on Laura
Just TO give her trouble But as long as
It was done all will have to make the best
or It. Mr.. Baker was thirty years old
was understood to be making a good liy-
ing and was able to support his wife
Laura was twenty-five years old, and Is
brunette She had gay, vivacious dis
position, laughing eyes and an enhancing
mouth and was generally accounted pretty
Inc affair Is surprise. but 1t IS believed
that II was a marriage conducted on the
principles Of love. 1t is understood that at
O'Clock this morning Miss Vansant and
Nr. Baker aroused Justice Of the Peace
Grannell from his bed at his cottage nj
Sheepshead. and requested that the knot be
tied The Justice begged time to put on his
clothes. and n. G o'ctnck the two were made
ore. All trace after this occurrence Is lost
But 10 Is supposed that the new couple are
living happily at Shsspshead and that the
family Of the young lady In this city will
be duly apprised OF the ceremony.
