HOWARD'S REPORT.
He Recommends an Increase in the
Army Of Double the Present
Number.
BEST WAY TO KEEP PEACE.
Denied That Miles Criticized the Pres
ident's Action in the Late
Strike.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE annual
report of Major General o. o. Howard,
commanding the Department Of the
East. has been made public. General
Howard in speaking of the movements
of his troops, necessitated by the late
strike says, that fortunately his appre-
tensions Of serious obstruction to the
commerce of the East and South were
not realized. But should such difficult
ties arise again, and simultaneously in
cities far apart. the necessity for
regular troops and more of them
than his department now af-
fords, he says, Ii apparent. just now
the national guards in several states in
the department are well organized and
respond promptly to every call Of duty;
still IL more than one state is involved
i'm events growing out Of anarchy, the
executive will always require his own
troops. They viii be essential to his
execution of laws and maintenance of
order. Of course, governors of states
should cooperate, but they might disa-
gree or be reluctant In meeting certain
emergencies.
Would Double the Army.
Therefore, General Howard strongly
recommends an increase of the army to
at least double the size of the present
force. In his Judgment it would be the
best possible method of preserving the
peace until many vexatious questions
which are now troubling the country,
are put at rest by solution satisfactory
to to the people of the nation.
General Howard expresses the opin-
ion that already our coast defenses are
in fairly good condition, and that in
conjunction with our ever increasing
naval armament there would be little
fear of aggression.

by an officer at Cumber-
land, Md.
WAS BOARDING "A TRAIN.
His Clothes Full Of Money---Menoran-

WAS BOARDING "A TRAIN.

WASHINGTON, Oct. lS.-A special
from Cumberland, Md, timed 8 q. m,
to the Washington Times says: At
about 1:10 a. m, Officer Beck of this
city noticed man acting in q rather
suspicious manner near the Baltimore
and Ohio depot. He tried to board ex.
press train No. 8, westbound, with two
satchels. The man answered the de-
scription Of the one who was implicated
in the robbery of the express car at
Quantico, Va, last week. As soon as
the officer attempted to make the arrest
the man started to run, but was soon
caught by the officer. He claimed to
have been stopping at one Of the hotels
in this city and upon being taken to
each OF the hotels in turn claimed that
it was different one.
Had Big Roll.
He was taken 60 the stationhouse and
upon being searched $1, ,553 was found
hidden in two wollen stockings. Nine
hundred and twenty three dollars were
In notes and $3.50 in silver, one silver
watch and one gold one, lot OF pawn
tickets and three silver pocketbooks.
A fine Colts navy revolver was ON
his person. There were 43 cartridges
in his pocket and memorandum book,
showing where the entire Doodle had
been divided between the men.
In his satchel was found old muddy
shoes, slouch hat and wearing apparel
that looked like DISCUSSES. He asked to
be taken to the water closet and while
there tried to hide another revolver and
some money but was caught in the act.
The man is rather large and weighs at
least 160 He is feet tall, with a
smooth face and dresses neatly.
Four more men implicated in the rob.
berry have yet TO be accounted for. Mr..
Weir was positive that the total amount
stolen would not exceed $2O, 900, and
that even that amount would likely be
reduced by further report. Although
there has been much talk Of 1.-THE man
Carter, said to have been arrested as a
suspect, the express company has not
received any word of information con.
Cerning him.

Meet with Disagreeable Surprise.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The members
of the Irish National Federation, who
are preparing reception tobe rendered
in the Lenox Lyceum to Edward Blake,
MI. p, for South Longford, Ireland, have
received disagreeable surprise by Ma
yor Gilroy refusal TO preside, after he
had agreed to do SO week ago. When
the mayor was approached by Patrick
Gleason and the other members OF the
arrangement committee and asked 10
help along, he consented. A day or so
ago the Irish Independent party, which
represents the elements Of Irishmen In
this country who favor aggressive or
Parnell methods In Irish affairs, instead
Of the dotrine of agitation, prepared
circular which they issued broadcast
throughout the city and vicinity. Tt
made q direct onslaught ON MIR. Blake,
and called upon all loyal Irishmen
To Repudiate Him
and the party which he represents.
''When heard of Mayor Gilroy's in
tention to preside, said Judge Lynn,
81 lost NO time in communicating with
him, and made him acquainted with
the facts of the case and with the &C
tual standing held by this man Blake
and the party he represents among all
sections Of honest, patriotic Irishmen
In this country, buS found that others
had been ahead OF me. Several of the
wealthiest and most influential Irish
men in this city had talked with the
mayor and had convinced him that his
presence at the reception would be o
great mistake. Then he promptly with
drew his consent TO be present.

Animals That Seldom Drink.

Several species of reptilia, SER
penis and lizards, and certain batra-
chians, exist i'll regions remote fro m
water, and derive their necessary
moisture from absorption and in
spiration, taking no perceptib,e
quantity through the month. The
wild llamas of Patagonia are said
not to drink, because in the locality
they inhabit there is nothing but
salt water to be found. Sloths are
also said to live without drinking.
Rabbits have also been credited with
this power, but the late Rev. J. G..
Wood recorded the fact that they
feed on heritage when laden with
dew, and in this way do their eating
and drinking at the same time. A
stony, waterless region of France
has evolved race of animals that
do not drink. The sheep feeding
upon the fragrant herbs have alto
gether lost the habit of drinking,
and the cows drink very little
Roquefort cheese is made from the
milk of non-drinking cows. The
camel has been known to go twelve
or fourteen days without water,
carrying three hundred pounds and
sometimes four hundred pounds
weight. A parrot is said to have
lived in the Geological Gardens,
Regents Park, London, fifty-two
years without drop of water.

Simple Reasons.

1
A soap bubble is round because
every part of its surface is equally
pressed by the atmosphere.
Sheep thrive best in pasture in
tested with moles, because of the
better drainage of the land.
Boiled water tastes flat and insi-
pid because the gases it contained
have been driven off by heat.
Red hair is of that color because
it is supposed to have larger pro-
portion Of sulphur than black hair.
A heavy dew is the precursor of
rain because it shows that the at
mosphere is saturated with moisture.
Iron bedsteads are safe during a
thunderstorm because, being good
conductors, they keep the electri-
city from the body.
White clothing is cool because it
reflects the heat of the sun; black
clothing is warm because it absorbs
both heat and light.
A burning gas jet is unhealthy
in bed-chamber because one gas
light gives out as much carbonic
acid gas as two sleepers.
The flesh under the nails looks
red because the nails are almost
Transparent, and thus the color of
the tissue beneath is visible.
Swallows fly low before rain
because the insects they pursue are
then near the ground to escape the
moisture of the upper air.
Sea shells murmur because the
vibrations of the air, not otherwise
observable, are collected in the shell
and by its shape are brough to a
focus.
A spoon in a glass filled with hot
water prevents the breaking Of the
glass because the metal readily alb
serbs large part of the heat of the
water.
Flies can walk on the ceiling be-
cause their feet are natural air.
pumps and form vacuum so that
the bodyis supported by atmospher-
ic pressure.
A plnmb-linc by the side of a
very large building inclines little
from the perpendicular because the
weight is attracted by the mass Of
the edi6ce.
A red sunset fortells dry weather
because it indicates that the air to-
wards the west, from which direc-
ton rains may generally be ex-
pected, contains little moisture.
Lightning travels in zigzag
course because it passes through

And with another fond embrace,
Ezekiel rode rapidly away.
General Burgoyne, with a large
body of British troops, supplement-
ed by band of Indians, was some
distance away at Fort Edward
Lieutenant Colonel Baum, with
about fifteen hundred German sold
iers and savages, was sent to invade
and devastate the ''grants" as far
as the Connecticut river.
To meet this force General Stark
had assembled the militia. He sent
Colonel Gregg with two hundred
men forward to check the march of
the foe, while he followed with the
balance of his little army.
The advance of the British was
encountered twelve miles from Ben
nington in such numbers that the
Americans reiterated. Falling back
upon Stark division battle ensued,
so fierce that the Americans began
to break and give way, when, to
their joy, they found themselves
reinforced by band of determined
men, who, though worn and weary
from a long, forced march, threw
themselves into the thickest of the
fight and turned the tide of battle.
1t was the Berkshire boys led by
Ezekiel Barnes!
During lull in the struggle,

forced his way to the side of the
young commander, and stretching
forth his hand, exclaimed:
Ezekiel, Ezekiel! Will We for
give me them words that | spoke
that day in the tavern?"
think not of it, neighbour" re-
piled Ezekiel; and the brave youth
again urged his jaded, yet undaunted
soldiers, into the heat Of the battle.
The outcome of the struggle we
know, and when Squire Holbrook
placed Ezekiel's commission as cap
tain of the continental army in his
hands, he supplemented it with his
consent for the youth to wed his
only daughter.
When the great struggle for liber-
ty was decided, and the marriage
ceremony was held in the old home
stead, Nathan Perkins was by no
means the least welcome of the
guests, and lost no opportunity to
extol the gallantry and fidelity of
the man whom he had once not
been able to tell whether he was
Wing or Tory.
