WASHINGTON SINGING THE DERBY RAM"
and Hon. Henry L. Ellsworth These
boys We're taken up by the great man
and each placed upon knee Then the
parsonage sang to them this version of
THE DERBY RAM"
As was going to Derby
Upon market day
spiCd the biggest ram, sir,
That ever. was fed on hay.
Tow de row de row,
Tow de row de dial
He had four feet to walk, sir;
He had four feet to stand,
And every foot he had, sir,
Covered an acre of land.
The wool upon his back, sir,
1t reached unto the sky,
And eagles built their nests there,
For heard their young ones cry.
The wool upon his tail, sir,
heard the weaver say,
Made three thousand yards Of cloth, sir,
For he wove it all in day.
There seems to be no sort of doubt
about the authenticity of this anecdote,
as it has been handed down in the Ellis
worth family from generation to gener-
alton to the present representatives
thereof.

ARMY INSPECTIONS.
An Extensive Change Made i'm the
S.s4a,,, hH Secrefnrx I.amOnt.

An Extensive Change Made in the
System by Secretary Lamont.
Secretary Lamont has made an extensive
change in the system of army inspections,
designed to simplify the business methods
of the department and to effect consider
able economy in expenditures. Heretofore
the inspectors have been subject to divi-
ded responsibility, acting as they did under
the orders of the Secretary of War in one
class of duties and under the direction
of the commanding general of the various
army departments in others. The result
was that they were often required to make
two journeys to the same point, one on
an errand for the department and another
under the orders of the general command
ing. Then it often happened that the in
spectors' services would be required by
each of his two masters at different places
at the same time, and much confusion
followed. All this has been done away
with by the general order. The inspectors
are to report only to the department itself
orders, Its functions have been broadened
and they will exercise a general and COM
prehensive observation within their re-
sIective districts over all that pertains to
the efficiency of the army, the condition
and state of all supplies, of arms and
equipments of the expenditure of public
moneys, of the condition of accounts. OF
disbursing officers, and Furthermore, from
time to time are to make such suggestions
as may appear practicable for the cure
of any defects noted. The reports OF
these officers will pass through the hands
of the generals commanding their respect
i've army departments, who thus will be
able to profit by their work, but in addi-
ticn the generals are required to inspect
their own troops at least once each year,
assuring themselves that the officers ard
men are efficient, that all supplies are in
good condition and that strict economy is
observed in expenditures.

Increased Customs Bis Defeated.

Consul Eckford. at Kingston, Jamaica, has
notified the State Department of the defeat
by the legislative council of the island of
a bill designed 10 increase materially the
customs duties on many articles imported
from the United States. In a message to
the legislative council, the governor had
suggested that the withdrawal Of the Unit
ed States from the reciprocity treaty made
in pursuance to the Mckinley law, left the
island free to restore to its tariff some of
the sources of revenue abandoned under
that arrangement. The colonial secretary
then introduced on March II a bill in line
with the governors message, and ii is this
bill that has now been defeated. Consul
Eckford says he thinks 1t impossible that
like measure will be brought up again
this session.

CURB THE SPLITTING HOG.

An indignant Philadelphia physician,
offended by the aggressions, in street
cars and other public places, of this Pc
culiar American growth, the splitting BIZ
pedal hog, writes an open letter to one
of the newspapers in that city. 1.-THE
trouble u.s." he truly declares, chat in
making rules corporations omit to pres
cribe penalties or to enforce them or to
insist upon their officers enforcing them.
What is the use of having a placard in
a car prohibiting habit that no self
respecting or refined person would
think of doing without giving the en-
ployes powers to enforce it? A pub
lie conveyance is the only place where
people are absolutely at the mercypard
discretion Of every other person and the
rules governing their conduct ought to
absolute, instantly and absolutely en-
forced. To be quietly and firmly en-
Joined to vacate car would do more in
the way of an object lesson to convince
very many people that which includes
a consideration Of other peoples conven-
fence and self-respect than dozen NOR
al lectures on the subject. If man ex-
pectorates once, as some may do,
through thoughtlessness, let the condtc-
tor reprimand him quietly but firmly.
If the offense Is repeated or the passen-
ger is offensive stop the car and request
the passenger to step off. If he is still
offensive and makes scene let there be
such a penalty inflicted as will fully
