The Reason why,

The question has often been asked why
the corps OF cadets at the West Point Mill.
tary Academy wear a gray uniform when
the regulation army uniform is blue. The
explanation given is that the origin Of this
distinction dates back to the war of 1872
when the commissary general could not pro-
vide the blue cloth required for the brigade
Of Gen. Winfield Scott, and so they were
clad in gray. So distinguished was the con.
duct of that brigade at Lunday's Lane and
Chippewa, that when the Military Academy
was reorganized at the close of the war Il
was decided, out of compliment to Gen
SCOTS brigade, to adopt the gray uniform
for the cadets, and 1t has been worn con.
stantly by them ever since.

the country the Rev. H e. Warner, Metho-
dist, last night said: IF it is true. as /
understand from the best authorities which
have been able to obtain, that the present
trouble in Cripple Creek is due to the fact
that the mine owners will not appoint half
a dozen Catholic bosses, and II 1t is true
that an organization which might settle
the difficulty has refused to do SO on this
account. then 1 say that the A. p. A. was
not organized any too soon
There was a chorus of "Amens" and the
congregation broke into vociferous applause.

that the Miners Union of Cripple Creek Is
composed almost exclusively of foreigners
and Catholics Is untrue Over 80 per cent
