Official Instructions in Regard to Sc

MILITARY PARK ASSOCIATION.
WASHINGTON, D. G, August 7, 1895.
1t appears from numerous letters
received by thia commission that it's
previous circular in regard to furnish
ing quarters in camp barracks has
been construed to mean that such
barracks will be erected without re-
gard 10 the orders received, and that
those desiring these quarters can OBJ
tain them upon their arrival at Chat
tarooga. THIS, however. is not the
case.
AS Congress made no appropriation
Tor free quarters, plan was devised
by which bariack accommodations
could be provided by the citizens
committee of Cbattac ooga at very
low rate for all who might order such
a sufficient time in advance. 1t is the
intention to extend barracks as orders
for accommodations are received.
Such accommodations can not be
provided under applications received
after August 80, 1895.
Those who send two dollars to Capt.
Chas. F. Muller, Chattanooga, Tenn,
will receive in return a ticket which
will entitle the holder to comforta.
BILE barrack bunk for the entire time
of his stay at Chattanooga, including
safe storage for hand baggage and
toilet accommodations. 1t will not be
possible to furnish ladies with quar-
ters in these barracks, or to supply
meals or lunches in connection with
them. 1t will be necessary for each
person to bring his own blanket and
towels. The barracks will be con-
structed upon the plan adopted at the
last grand army encampment at Wash
ington city, where very large num-
ber of veterans were thus housed.
Such structures will be erected in
Chattanooga where, within conve.
nient distances, meals and lunches
may be obtained at reasonable prices.
Communications in regard to bar
racks addressed to Capt. Muller, who
was selected by the citizens commit.
tee to take charge of this work, will
receive prompt and reliable attention.
The indications of a very large at,
tendance at the dedication are such as
to lead this commission to urge that
all contemplating attendance make
arrangements in advance for quarters
A citizens executive committee, o.
which Capt. II. S. Chamberlain il
chairman, is now canvassing the city
of Chattanooga to find quarters il
, private families for those who desire
such accommodations. Full informa.
} ton may be obtained by addressing
that committee, and assurances have
been given that rates will be reasona

A dispatch from London, England,
August 2, says; In the chancery
court this afternoon Justice Chittz
decided case against Lady Henry
Somerset, who sought to refuse the
renewal of license for the sale of liq-
uor in hotel situated upon her estate
in Reigate. The justice informed the
lady that she must not allow her per.
sonal opinion to affect her actions in
her fiduciary capacity, she merely
holding her estate as tenant for life,
and decided that the license should be
renewed. Inasmuch, however, as she
acted in good faith, the court would
allow her costs.

leave. Thereupon he rGpAsd that he
would Instantly arrest the saloon
keeper and his assistants il they did
not close. Accordingly, close they did
but sent word Immediately to the po.
lice station. At the station the news
created more CONSERVATION. In ff-
teen minutes an officer had been sent
around to the too Jealous policeman,
who was taken off that beat and put
on another where there were no sa-
looms. In five minutes after the sa-
loon was again blazing with light and
in full blast. Three or four complaints
were soon afterward lodged against
the countryman for trivial faults, and
in very few weeks he had learned
the lesson of being blind unless his su-
periors chose to order his eyes open.
An other case which came within
my personal knowledge may also be
interesting. A certain officer arrested
the lookout man of saloon whose
owner was an influential politician.
The lookout mans friendsacame, to his
assistance, assaulted the officer and
injured him very severely. Instead
OF commen ding him for his actions,
the board actually fined HIM severely
on a trumped.up charge OF assault,
and the saloon was not again mo-
Tested.
Instances Of thiss kind happened
again and again. The utter demora-
lization of the police board, which
they signalized, need hardly be in
sisted on. 1t was a simple impossi-
bility to make the department honest
and clean without roofing out this
evil. The blackmaiing of the saloons
by partial administration of the law
had been the chief of all causes that
tended to corrupt the New York po-
lice force. Any honest board, even
entirely apart from considerations of
enforcing the law, was bound to try to
remove this evil, and the evil could
be removed but in one way-that is,by
the thorough enforcement Of the law.
1t again seems incredible, but va
rious high officials of the federal and
State governments, actually including
the internal revenue collector for the
district, appeared before the mayor to
request him to stop the police officials
from obeying their oaths of Office and
honestly enforcing the law. The may
or, of course, would not stop them
indeed he could not have stopped
them even had he wished. The police
board would obey the mayor in every
matter possible; but no obedience
could be accorded to any one if the
command was to violate the oath of
office. The attitude taken by the naen
who made this demand was as essen
TALLY immoral as the attitude of any
other allies of the criminal class. The
apology for their action must be the
same apology that is advanced for
lynchers, and that Is again advanced
on behalf of the government officials
who fail to put down lynching. When
the legislature deliberately puts laws
on the statute books which the execu-
tive officials deliberately disregard,
and enforce only against the weak,
the result is to put premium upon
corruption and lawlessness; that is
upon attempts to supplement or take
advantage of the defects OF the law by
individual action.

Shifted On An Iron Rod.

From Inc New York Sun.
"Because he is alive and well to-
day." said an operator in the
northern district of the Penn
sylVania oil field, "Henry j. Lut.
ton is a greater wonder to the oil
country than 25,O00-barrel spout.
ing we'll would be. Luton is an
oil well derrick builder. About
three months ago he was putting
up a derrick for Frank Rockwell,
one of the biggest operators in our
district, at Clarendon. The der
rick stood Oh hillside. Luton
was at work at the foot OF the der
rick and stood on an elevation /
feet or so above the ground. In
some way an iron bar, or rod,
three. quarters OF an inch thick
and over 20 feet long, part Of the
mechanism Of an oil well rig, fell
from the top OF the derrick, 10 feet
above the ground. One end Of
this long iron struck Luton on
the right side of the neck. Pass
ing between his jugular vein and
his windpipe, it plowed it's way
diagonally through the flesh on
Lutton's chest and came out be-
low the left nipple. Striking his
left leg just below the groin, the
rod shot downward beneath the
flesh, emerging again above the
knee Joint. On its further way
down the rod severed LuttOn's left
middle toe and carried it along
with it nearly a foot into the
ground.
Luton is a siX-foOter and over,
and naturally well covered with
flesh. That the heavy iron, when
it struck him on the neck, did not
down him shows what strength the
man had. Nearly 10 feet Of the
rod passed through him in its
course, a foot and half OF it be-
ing through his neck and body
and about , feet through his leg.
When Luton found himself thus
spitted by the iron and pinned to
the ground he actually slid down.
the rod from where he stood to the
ground and shouted to a fellow
workman, who ran to his aid and
pulled the rod out, feat Of
strength which is wonder and
mystery, not only to him, but to
everybody else, too. Luton was
carried home, where he lay nearer
dead than alive for six weeks
Then he began to mend, and in
three weeks more was able to be
around. He says he will be as good
as new in a couple of weeks. And
that's why Henry j. Luton is to-
day bigger wonder to the oil
cou ntry than 25,O0O-b barrel gush-
er would be.
