the figure of 19O0O0,000 francs repre-
sented the excess Of military expen-
diture across the Rhine. There is a
corresponding difference, he declared,
in the effective power at the disposal
of the two countries. The great prob
lem of modern military history was to
secure the permanenee of the electives
and to keep every regiment up to its
full strngth. Not until 1898 had this
problem been solved in Russia. Gen
eral MERCER, the French war minister,
wished an army to be a school, not an
instrument, being thus directly opposed
to the opinion of the army committee.

principle in 1875. But meanwhile Ger
many was openly carrying out the
principle, until by the law of 1898 she
drought about the greatest modlfica-
ton of the century in military organi-
cation" M. Roche's analysis of the eff
fects of the new law excited the deepest
interest, especially when he seemed to
prove by official figures the truth of
his assertion that for the purposes OF
the two distinct operations character
izing modern war-rapid and violent at
tack shattering the enemy's organiza-
ton, and the occupation of territory as
the attacking army advanced-the
newly constructed German army was
an all but perfect instrument. He de-
clared that as matter of fact France
had 100000 effective troops and Ger
many $4,000.

ANOTHER STORY,

Tt has been said that history is the
record of the doings of great men,
but the more one knows about his
tory and great men the harder it ap-
pears to be to tell whether there is
any history or whether there are any
great men,. Here we have all been say
ing what fine thing Senator Hoar
did in defeating the lottery swindlers in
the last congress. The account of his
noble achievement has gone all over
the world, and he has been looked upon
as the persistent and successful cham
pion Of the Right. Now it appears
that in this matter Senator Hoar was
fessor S. H. Woodbridge of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology. Pro-
fessor Woodbridge is not the occupant
of a theological chair, nor is his life
work upon the moral reform line. He
is a lecturer on heat and its practical
application to the warming and ventila-
ton of buildings, and has been with
the Institute of Technology since 1873,
when he graduated from Williams col
lege. He was led to take up the lot
terry question while in ill-health and
incapacitated for college work. AS he
says: IT had time to think, and the
more I thought the more came to be-
lieve that this was the greatest move
ment in patriotic endeavor this country
had ever seen" Having organized a
plan of campaign which the Louisiana
anti-lottery people approved, Professor
went right into the
Louisiana election fight Working
there for two months he saw his move
ment victorious at the polls by a plu-
rality of $4,000 Then it became neces-
sary to meet the Honduras-Florida ar
which the lottery houses
had brought about, and there again
Professor Woodbridge was in charge of
the moral party's forces. When the
whole struggle resolved itself into the
question whether congress should pass
new legislation, he and number of
his coadjutors went to Washington and
engaged the influence of Senator Hoar

not put any on the market for several

AGArNST DOUB1E TAxATIoS.

There appears to be pretty general
agreement that the bill reported by the
Judiciary committee providing for the
relief of the Consolidated Railroad COM
pany from double taxation is just. 1t
seems that the Old Colony railroad is
taxed as the Old Colony railroad on it's
mileage in Massachusetts by that State.
The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford company, as the lessee, pays the
tax. The stock of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford company issued
in exchange for Old Colony stock rep
resents the same property as the Old
Colony stock held by the company on
which the tax is paid in Massachu-
sets. To tax the exchanged stock in
this State is therefore in effect to tax
the same property twice and to make
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford company pay as owners a second
tax on the same property on which it
is once taxed as lessee.
1t is understood that even Brother
Goodwin makes no claim against the
road in this matter Therefore the
rest of us can be moderately sure that
the bill ought to become law.

FASHION NOTES.
Don't scrimp on Sleeves.

Economizing on sleeves is hardly wise
at present and a woman may safely
spend most of her money on handsome
brocade velvet or satin for great sleeves
that reach only to the elbow. Then she
may strive to save money on the rest of
the gown. If her pink gown cannot be
matched with pink fan, let her try
fan of some pretty shade of lavender.
By gaslight the lavender will be pleas
ing contrast. If there be trouble in
matching yellow gown with velvet
of the same shade for the sleeves, posi-
bly, pink will answer if the dress is to
be worn with artificial light. So, too,
blue may be made to do duty at night
as a match for green. These hints may
be applied to the dress of the accom-
panying illustration. If need be, but as
presented here 1t is all spic and span
and entirely free from devices of trick
cry. It's material is rose pink silk bro
caded with ivory and gold, The skirt

elm tree which cast its shadows over
William Penn and the Indian chiefs
during the famous session when the
Penn treaty was drawn up has been
planted by Chief Eisenhower. of the
bureau of city of property, directly on
the spot which the old tree is supposed
to have occupied. The old treaty elm
stood on the Vandusen estate, which has
since been formed into Penn Treaty
Park, and shoots from the tree have
been carefully treasured by the Vandu-
sen family. This particular shoot was
donated by Paul A. Oliver, of divers

and is expected to thrive in its appropri-

NJ Jules Roche has made a sensa-
Hion in the French Chamber by a
speech in which he compared the
French and German armies, greatly to
the disadvantage of the former. The
first point he made was that since 1887
Germany had STEADILY spent more than
France upon her army, until in 1894
