SCORE ONE FOR THE ARMY.

From the Washington Evening Star.
There is always more or less ri
valry between the army and the
navy, and probably there always
will be. When men of either SER
| vice can work off joke at the ex-
pense of the other they never miss
rn opportunity. The navy officers
are now telling one on the army.
1t was at Fort Monroe, where one
of the vessels of the navy was tenn
porarily awaiting orders, that a del
egation of army officers stationed at
the fort came aboard. There is
set naval regulation that nothing
can be so on board ship until the
commanding officer orders it. While
the army party were looking over
the ship IL O'Clock arrived. A
junior officer approached the captain
and said, with salute:
at is ~ O'Clock, sir"
snake it So" responded the
captain, and eight bells were struck.
The army officers suspected that the
navy men wanted them to ask some
questions and get sold, or that this
was a bit of foolery got up to joke
the land warriors.
Some time after a party of army
officers invited the officers of the
war ship to dine with them. The
dinner was progressing when a
lieutenant entered, and saluting the
senior officer present, said gravely:
"Colonel, the majors blind horse
is dead"
snake it so," responded the colo
mel with the greatest gravity, and
the dinner proceeded. Nothing was
said at the time, but the navy officers
tell the story.

THEY RESEMBLED FSKIMOS.

From the Providence Journal
A great deal of criticism, favorable
and otherwise, has been evoked dur
ing the past few days by the group
of photographs of the Brown Uni
versity football players displayed in
the store windows up and down
Westminster street. Almost every
one who has studied them at all no.
tees at once the very much dishev-
elled condition of most of the men.
1t is fair to the Brown athletes to
state that the picture was taken a
week ago Saturday afternoon, be-
tween the two halves of the practice
game between the regular varsity
team and the second eleven, and
nearly all the men were consequently
fresh from the football field.
Perhaps the most cutting of the
many comments ventured by those
who have viewed the photographs
was that made last Saturday after
noon by a young woman evidently
just IN from tho suburbs to do some
shopping in the city. A group of
three, including the parsonage just
mentioned, was just passing the front
OF the Journal office, when one of her
companions spied the photograph in
the window and stopped to take a
look at 1t. The aforesaid lass from
the suburbs gazed hastily at the
Brown boys physiognomies and ex-
claimed, "oh, come along. Them's
nothin' but Eskimosl"

THE TINE TO GET UP.

From an Exchange.
The lazy editor of an evening
paper says; "The lark came up to
meet the sun, and carol forth his
lay, the farmers son took down his
gun, and at him blazed away. The
busy bee arose at FIVE and hummed
the meadow o'er, the farmers wife
went for his hive, and robbed him of
his store. The little ant rose early,
too, his labor to begin; the greedy
swallow few that way and took his
lordship in. Oh! birds, bees and
ants be wise, in proverbs take no
stock! Like me, refuse Eom bed to
rise until half past eight o'clock"

TEMPERANCE WOMEN MEET.

fEhANSE WohEN
Under the national banner, "For
God and Home and Native Land,'
500 delegates representing every
state in the union and thousands of
wearers of the white ribbon assem-
bled this morning in gaily decorated
Music Hall, in Cleveland, Ohio, to
open the twenty first annual con-
vention of the w. @. T. U.
After the singing of the hymn
entitled, "Welcome, Chieftain, We'll
come," Miss Willard stepped to the
front of the platform and the first
applause of the convention was
given. She thanked the convention
for the applause and then began the
delivery of her annual address. In
this she declared that the work of
women was the most unique feature
of the recent great elections. 1t was
freely admitted that they had much
to do with the down all of the Tam
many ring-it was largely case of
"the lady and the tiger" with no
doubt as to which came out of the
contest ahead. In Illinois the women
voted by tens of thousands. In Col
orado the prohibition party vote was
raised from ZOO at the last election
to from 1000 to 10000, and it was
the universal testimony that the
presence of women at the polls led
to much larger vote by men and
secured the best order ever known.
The republican party did itsolf dam
age by assisting the democrats to
vote down the enfranchisement of
women in Kansas, but illustrates it's
progressive tendencies by putting a
plank in its platform in favor Of
woman suffrage in the states of Cal
fornia, Idaho and Utah.

issued January IA last are the omis
sion of the upset or minimum price
which would be accepted and the
notice that the proposals for the
present issue must be sealed. 1t is
confidently expected at the treasury
department that an amount will be
realized considerably in excess of
that received on the February issue.
This expectation is based on the
fact that there are exceptionally
large amounts of money now lying
idle and seeking investment in the
money centers of the country, and
upon the further fact that the Feb
ruary issue is now quoted at Sf1S so,
or about 2 per cent. above the price
which would yield per cent. From
the last issue there was realized
$58, $3.50, ,917.63, and of this amount
$52, $50, ,264.24 was in gold coin,
s., ,420 in gold certificates and
$233.39 in other money which the
sub treasures were compelled to
take in making change. While these
amounts were actually paid into the
treasury in gold or its equivalent, a
very considerable amount of gold
was withdrawn from the sub treas
n 1ria fn hn nf
using it again in paying for the
bonds. The exact amount thus with
drawn can not be ascertained, but
the best knowledge obtainable is that
it approximated s15, 5,O00,OO0 1t is
believed that the largest subscribers
to the new government loan will be
Drexel, Morgan & Co., the United
States Trust company, the Union
Trust company, j. & w. Seligman,
Brown Brothers, and kuehn, Leib &
Co., some of whom will act as agents
of English and German financial
institutions in subscribing for the
bonds.
John A. Stewart, president of the
United States Trust company, said
that the circular asking for bids
issued by Secretary Carlisle was the
best ever issued by the government.

he, "at every possible point There
is no doubt as to the success of the
loan"

UTAH MAY CHOOSE DEMOCRATS.


Prominent democrats from Utah
who are now in Washington on mat
ters pertaining to the coming state
no cd for that territory, are confident
that the two senators to be chosen
next year will be democrats. At
first it seemed as II the constitutional
convention, which will fix the appor-
tionment for the legislature, would
be republican, but later returns made
necessary an official count in several
districts, and the democrats are now
claiming that they have majority
of at least one in the convention,
and a very good possibility of cap
turing three or four more seats.
Utah could be easily districted to
give safe democratic legislature, as
republican majorities are punched in
the cities and mining camps, and
this outcome is looked for.

TENNESSEE GovERNoRsH1P.


1t is believed that the official re-
turns OF the gubernatorial election,
when counted at the capitol, will
show a plurality of from 1000 to
2 800 for Evans, rep, over Turney,
dem. All the returns have not yet
been received, and the counties still
to be heard from will not likely be
reported for another week. The
democrats will have majority of
sixteen on joint ballot in the next
legislature. Senator Harris will have
decided opposition to his re election
but no other candidate has yet en-
tered the field.

L. Weller, formerly president and
secretary of the Guarantee Bond
Investment company of Nevada, Mo-,
accused Of having used the mails for
the purpose of lottery, the invest
ment company having been declared
such by the postoffice department.
Judge Priest held that the indict-
ment, in describing the character of
the scheme, did not establish the
fact that it was lottery. This is
the second time that indictments
against Mcdonald and Weller have
been quashed, Judge Shiras of Iowa

"Section z of the corrupt practices
act being SO much subject of con-

interpretations, have tho honor to
notify you that the governor, the
attorney general and the secretary
of state have agred to recommend as
compliance with the law:
81. That in case of candidates for
county officers the statements OF
expenses should be fled with the
county clerk and recorder of deeds
only, and that before commissions
can issue, the county clerk must
certify to the secretary of state that
the statement so required has been
by the officers elect duly filed with
said clerk and recorder.
90. That in cases of candidates
for state offices, the state senator
and for congress, the statements of
expenditures must be fled with the
secretary Of state. All statements
must be filed within 80 days from the
day OF election. The certificate of
county clerk OF the compliance with
the corrupt practice act by officers
elect in his county should contain,
when practicable, the names of all
such officers elect upon one paper in
order to avoid the unnecessary

BRICE GIVES HIS VIEWS.

BRICE GIVES HIS VIEWS.
Senator Brice democrat, Ohio)
said regarding the political situation:
"The democratic party was defeated
because of the hard times. The
question was not so much tariff
issue as great many people are led
to think. The people all over the
country expected that the party in
power would bring better times and,
when these did not materialize, they
turned their ballots against them.
The same cause defeated Harrison
two years ago. When prosperity
languishes the people blame the
party in power as the cause of it, or
at least as being able to restore the
normal condition of affairs. But l
think things will brighten up so we
will have decidedly spirited presi-
dental election"
"Who do you think will be the
next presidential candidate on the
democratic ticket?'
"The next democratic candidate to
run for the presidency will be Adlai
E. Stevenson, and he will have the
united support of all factions of his
party. He is the logical candidate
aud he comes from a state that can
be carried by the democrats with his
name leading the presidential ticket.
He is the best man we can take. |
do not think the party would make a
mistake. The election of last Tues
day settled the fatr of several pros
pective candidates, and l am more
than ever convinced now that Mr..
Stevenson is our man. AS for Cleve-
land running for a third term-all
that kind of talk is twaddle."

DR.. JAMES M'Cosu DEAD.

DR.. JAMES M'COSU DEAD.
Rev. DR.. James McCosh, died at
Princeton college November IS, aged
"a years. DR.. McCosh will always
be remembered as the man that did
more than any other to make Prince
ton a great university. He assumed
the presidency in 1893, coming direc.! !
from Queens college, Belfast, Ire
land, where he filed the chair OF
logic and metaphysics. His very
first message to the trustees resulted
in an almost immediate broadening
of the scope of Princeton's educa-
tion. 1t contained eight recommen-
dations, one of which, the suggestion
that the growth OF scholarship fund
for needy students be fostered, has
played prominent part in the life
of the college. 1t was at once car
ried out and Princeton is now almost
unrivaled in this respect. Another
iOSohihioiudpioh Vi Sdudi III poi pdhSc
was that which led to the establish
ment of number of elective courses.
Money began to pour into the empty
of the institution and the number of
students increased until accommda-
tions were outgrown.
Then came the array of buildings
which sprang up during DR.. McCosh's
time.
In 1887 DR.. McCosh, feeling that
he could not long fulfil his arduous
duties as president, retired volnu-
tarily, and was succeeded by DIR.
Patton. He still, however, contin-
ued mis- relations with the college,
giving a series of leccures in philos-
ophy for seveal years.
