unfortunately q fact that chaplains, as a
rule, are not very popular in the navy. 1t
Is easily understood that a clergyman finds
himself In rather an anomalous position
among lot Of young officers IN the ward
room. Some of them are apt to be more or
less rtbald, and there Is much of the merri-
n ent In which a minister of the gospel can
not well join. On the other hand, to sit
apart and look solemn Is undesirable. A
CHAPLAIN has been known to spoil all the
FUN of mess. Directing to smoking, and so
causing the withdrawal of that privilege
from the ward room by the captain. On
the other hand, there are good fellows in
this branch Of the service, who take things
as they find them, anil take as large a part
In amusements on board and ashore as Is
permitted to them by the cloth they wear.
Inc percentage of Catholics among sail
ors In the United States navy is growing
rapidly less on account of the policy which
new prevails of enlisting Americans in
preference to foreigners. A visitor on one
OF our warships Is astonished to hear
strange languages spoken by a majority of
the bluejackets on board. Down at Old
Point Comfort the other day one Nor
wegian seaman belonging TO the Aliantono-
mon was heard to remark to one of his
mates: Il saw him yump into the yollyboat
Iasus, what q yump!
Orthodoxy cuts no figure in the chap
laincy business. No chaplain in the navy
or army has ever been tried for heresy
There would seem to be no good reason
why women should not serve capably as
army chaplains. but they are not possible
in the navy. No woman is allowed en- beard
OF seagoing ship of war, except as a
visitor. This Is new field, by the way
for the woman's rights movement to enter

bash after the close of the rebellion he

She was obliged to cross the ocean on a

Liability to Dismissal.
A chaplain may be dismissed from the
army or navy like any other officer. Even
the President Of the United States, however,
cannot deprive him of his commission with
out court-martial. AS might be imagined,
Uncle Sans chaplains have rarely got into
trouble One Of them was permitted to re-
sign few years ago on account of i'm
morality. which the Secretary of War
thought it undesirable to advertise by hold
ing an open court and publishing the facts
in general orders for the edifcation of the
entire service.
1t has been frequently proposed that chap
lains in the army and navy should be done
away with. 1t is charged that they are Of
no practical use, and that their places are
sinecures, which would be best abolished
However. the weight of public opinion
seems to incline to the conclusion that the
twin services are rather goddess any way
and none the worse for a little religious
supervision. RENE BACHE.

Employees in the Carter County Mining
District Attacked by strikers.
ASHLAND, Ky, Oct. 2O.-The out
break that has been expected for some
days in the Carter county mining dis
triet, came Thursday morning in the
ambushing of the miners of the
Straight Creek Coal company by
the strikers. The miners were
fired upon from the bushes along
the hills as they were enroute
to the nine and a number were
wounded. Jack Marcum and John
Morris were fatally shot, while Bob
Evans, John Adams and several whose
names were not secured, were also re-
ported as badly injured. The bull
let's in each ease came from
Winchester rifles. During the bal
ance of the day the appear
ance of a miner at the pit mouth or the
tipple was a signal for renewed firing.
Word was sent To Grayson, the county
seat, and the sheriff and posse of
deputies were quickly summoned.
They spent the day securing the hills
and succeeded in capturing George
Tyree, James Coburn, Bob and John
Taylor, VIII Sneed and two others,
but these men were unarmed when
found and protested innocence. They
were removed, however, to Grayson
for safe keeping and will be held for
further developments The excite
ment is intense and extra guards are
out. as further trouble is expected.
