STANTON TO BE RETIRED.
1t VIII Result in the Promotion of Com
modores Erben, Meade, and


Admiral Stanton yesterday applied to be re-
tired under the forty years service law. His
application is before the President and will
undoubtedly be granted.
This will result in the promotion OF Com
modore Henry Erben to the grade OF admiral
next week. and his retirement will follow
speedily. The early promotion of Com
modores R. C. W. Meade and Charles c.
Carpenter will follow as mstter of course.
The retirement of Admiral Stanton will
cause vacancy in the command of the North
Atlantic or home station. which will be filed
by the assignment of Admiral Meade. who
will, however, substitute the New York as
flagship of the station in preference to the
San Francisco, as at present
1t is settled that the New YORK. under COM
mand of Capt. Evans. will remain on the
home station whether the flagship or not and
that she will not go abroad as the flagship of
the European station. One reason for this
determination is the great expense that
would be involved in sending the New York
away. She will not be sent on a long cruise
unless absolutely necessary for the protection
OF American interests
The retirement of Admiral Erben will "a
cate the command of the European station.
That will be filed. however. by the assign
ment of Commodore William L. Kirkland,
now in command of the South Atlantic sta
ton, who will transfer his flag within the
next few weeks.
Admiral Carpenter is now on his way to
Yokohama, Japan, to assume command OF
the Asiastic station, recently vacated by the
retirement OF Admiral Skerrett. No one has
as yet been selected TO succeed Admiral Kirk

PYTHIANs ARE HARD WORKED.
Committees Perfecting Their Arrange.
ments for the ConcIave.


The past week has been an unusually busy
one in Pythian circles. Secretary Smith, of
the public comfort subcommittee. has been
one of the hardest worked men on the citizens
committee Every day from O'Clock in the
morning until 4, and sometimes 5, in the
afternoon he has been at headquarters
answering all sorts OF queries put TO him by
persons desiring to register their rooms for
rent 10 the Knights and friends.
During the six days ending yesterday after
noon accommodations for several thousand
more visitors have been registered making a
total, including hotels, of 40, 900. At this rate
it is thought the committee will have enough
accommodations probably by the Goth of Au-
gust.
The only complaint now made is that the
out-of-town Knights are not applying for
quarters rapidly enough to satisfy the public
comfort committee. Members OF the COM
mittee are fearful that this important matter
will be postponed until just before the en-
campment begins. If this is the case they
say that those who visit the city at that time
should not complain if suitable quarters are
not secured. To avoid this delay and assist
the local committee. Commander In Chief
Carnahan has issued an order to every mem
ber of the uniform rank stating the facts
above mentioned.
The citizens committee will hold an impor-
tant meeting at Pythian headquarters to-mor-
row afternoon. Interesting reports are ex-
pected from the finance and auditing sub
committees. The former will probably submit
a statement showing the amount OF subscrip-
tions TO date and also names of contributors.
The auditing committee will report state
ment showing how the funds have been dis
tributed to the several subcommittee.

OFF TO THE SEAT OF WAR.
Soldiers of the Provisional Regiment &c
to Camp at Marshall Hail.

Soldiers of the Provisional Regiment Go
to Camp at Marshall Hail.
In heavy marching order the boys of the
provisional regiment, which for the next ten
days will occupy field quarters at Marshall
Hall, started from the Centre Market armory
for the scene of camp life. The provisional
regiment is composed of the Fifth battalion,
parts of the Third and Sixth battalions and
the ambulance and engineer CORPS
The soldiers will have an experience of
actual military life during active service. as
they will engage daily in sham batties skir-
mish drills, rifle practice, riot drills. guard
mounts. dress parades. reviews and all the
other things that go to the life OF u soldier
during war times.
Many days have been spent in the hardest
kind of work, making preparations for de-
parture to the seat of war, which were only
completed when the army got the command
to march, at 500 yesterday morning, from
Major Suess, who is in command. The small
army marched down Seventh street to the
river front. Major Suess rode a. iron-gray
horse, and the army presented quite for
midabie appearance.
The soldiers were met at the wharf at Mar
shall Hall by squad which had preceded
the command to erect tents for the officers
ahd to make other preparations for the COM
ing of the regiment. The tents were all up
early in the afternoon. and the green slopes
Of quiet old Marshall Hall present very war
like aspect.
Dress parade and review took place at 500
last evening, and the first detail for guard
duty was announced. To-day will be a gala
day in camp, and frequent trips will be made
by the steamers Manchester and River Queen.

Hicks, Weather for February.

February orens fair and cold gen.
orally, except in the extreme West,
where reactionary warmth, with
storm indications, will be returning.
These conditions will pass across
the country eastward by the 4th,
with cold in the rear of warm,
stormy area. New moon on 9Th will
hasten period 7th to 10th. Mars and
Mercury also combine to prolong
and aggravate disturbances. Look
for winter thunder and rain South,
with snow and sleet North. General
cold will advance from West, and
cover the country during, and by
the end of period 7th to 10th. Full
particulars in Word and Works.
About 18th and 14th, falling barom-
eter. rising thermometer and sec
ondary storms will be in transit
from the West to East, with cold
wave following. The 18th to the 22d
will bring renewed storms. Under
stand the law of their starting and
progress; be not misled by unfair
or uniformed critics. Storms end
ing in cold will reach you during
the period. Reactionary changes
and storms of thunder, rain and
snow center about the oath, 18th.
Cold will follow.
Mr.. Albert Favorite, of Arkansas
City, Kan, wishes to give our read
ers the benefit of his experience
with colds. He says: contracted
cold early last spring that settled
on my lungs, and had hardly recov-
cred from it when l caught another
that hung on all summer and left
me with a hacking cough which |
thought never would get rid of. l
had used Chamberlain Cough
Remedy some fourteen years ago
with much success, and concluded
to try it again. When l had got
through with one bottle my cough
had left me, and have not suffered
with cough or cold since. l have
recommended it to others, and all
speak well of it." 30 cent bottles for

Easy-Going Siamese.

The true Samese is Il short, "stocky"
man, dark-brOwn in color, when he
works in the open air but almost as light
as the Mongolian when belonging to
the higher classes. They have dark
brown-almost black-and glittering
eyes and short, stiff, wiry. iet-black
hair The hair of both men and women
is always worn cropped rather closely
and is in most cases the only covering
that the Siamese coolie wears to protect
his head from the rays of the tropic sun.
In disposition they are mild and
gentle. Generally speaking they are
timid and careless of the future. The
nature of their climate IS not calculated
to make them industrious and as a con-
sequence those vocations that require
steady eXertion are principally monop-
olized by the ubiquitous Mongolian.
The Chinaman labors to acquire wealth,
the Siamese works only enough to salts
fy his present wants.
The Siamese, especially those living
along the valley Of the Menam, are al
most amphibous in their nature. Thou
sands of them are constantly travelling
up and down the winding river in their
frail canoes or upon diminutive RATS.
Even the babies early learn to swim and
it is not rare spectacle to see on a
hOuse-boat or raft several diminutive
children playing about, with small ropes
tied about their waists, the other end
being Delayed to the door-pOst in order
that the mother may haul the youngster
aboard should he happen Inadvertently
To tumble into the river.

A Mysterious Projectile.

The so-called magnetic she'll, which
has been used at the trials of English
armor plates at Okhta, near St. Peters
burg. Russia, has made an extraordin-
airy record. The shell was fired at soft
St. Chamond plate at right angles, and
the penetration was 10 l-2 inches: an
other shell penetrated 16 inches. One
shell was discharged at six-inch Har-
veyized plate, at an angle of 20 deg. :;
the projectile passed through the plate
and backing and fell about 400 yards
beyond, performance which filled the
scientific experts present with amaze
ment.
Further trials will be made, but for
the present no plates OF the requisite
strength are forthcoming, those already
used, which were manufactured spe-
cially for the purposes OF the trial, be-
ing so shattered as to be useless for
future tests. The general impression
among military experts is that the mag
netic shell is not new she'll at all, but
simply new invention adaptable to
any modern projectile
One Of the shells that had undergone
the secret process was exhibited. Al
lAOu9H II hdu PdSoeu through one OF the
armOr plates, it was in an unchanged
condition, and as it showed no traces
OF fastening whereby the new invention
could be attached to it, the spectators
concluded that the improvement must
be cap of softer metal held on to the
top of the shell by magnetism. This
nurses the hard point of the shell at its
impact, and so helps it to penetrate the
surface of the plate until it reaches the
softer metal behind. This, at all events,
is one of the guesses at the principle of
the novel projectile. Pitts5urg Dis

MISTAKES ABOUT ABSTAlNERS.
The "Moderate Urinker'' FooIishly At
tempts to Look Down on Them.

| have neS er asserted anything so
wrong and so foolish as that it is sin
to drink wine. nor have | ever been so
uncharitab!e and gone so far beyond
my legitimate warrant as to pronounce
syllable of condemnation against
those who, in the somewhat clumsy
nomenclature of this controversy are
called moderate drinkers" SAYS
writer in the Contemporary Rerjcw. If
there are any who adopt such language
| can only say that | have never once
heard it used at any temperance meet
ing either OF the higher or lower classes.
But, granted that many foolish and in
considerate things are said upon this
subject, | ask whether there is any con-
troversy which is not discredited by the
bearing and methods of some of its
partisanS? And is no nonsense talked
and are no brutalitieS or yulgarities of
abuse resorted to by those who take the
other side?
How often, for instance, have we
been told that total abstainers are poor.
weak, unbalanced creatures, who, be-
lng unable to protect themselves from
drunkenness, try by all sorts of non
sense, folly and tyranny to rob their
neighbOrs of a harmless and beneficial
indulgence? Into all these amenities |
refuse to enter. If it is foolish and
wrong to denounce all use of fermented
liquors as sin it is no less foolish and
wrong to speak of total abstinence from
them as a Manichean condemnation of
"a good creature of god" a good
creature Of God?" / have heard Sir Viii
fred Lawson say. "Of course it is! SO
is a tiger. But one does not want
tiger III ones bedroom"
No modest abstainer would claim his
abstinence as a virtue, or pharisaically
pride himself upon it, but it is at least
an equal absurdity to speak of the use
Of beer and wine rs though the self
qualification involved in drinking them
were virtue which entities the mod
crate drinker' to look down upon his
neighbOr from an indefinite altitude of
superiority. And surely a sufficient
number OF men of pre-eminent good
ness, learning and wisdom, in all ages
and countries-from the days of Pytha-
goras down to those of John the Bap-
tist, and through all the Christian ages
have been more or less absolute alb
stainers. to prove that the practice can
neither be injurious nor absurd.
