ANTI-G. A. r. VETS.
Sluf Cast Upon Their Loyalty by
the Iowa Co,nmander.

CLINTON, To-, May AT the Iowa
state G. A. r. encampment here, Com
mander Newman, in his annual ad-
dress, caused sensation by his de-
nunciation of the soldiers who have
never joined the organization. He said:
1--WE reached our zenith some three
years ago. as predicted at the time,
and cannot hope to receive much new
material. l am not in favor of MAX
ing an effort to recruit from those
never having been members of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. While
there are patriotic citizens who would
impoverish themselves, if thereby they
could be entitled to the honor of men,
bership, and those who are entitled do
not deem it of sufficient value to avail
themselves OF it, 1 am not disposed to
place much value upon the effort to
induce them to join. L am almost in
doubt as to the value of the service
they rendered, for it does seem to me,
they could not desert us now, had they
ever been truly and fraternally loyal"

MAILBAG LOCKS.
A Teil-TnIe Mechanism which

Makes Successful Thefts Almost
Impcssib5c.
New York World.
The locks on the mail pouches are so
constructed that it is impossible to
open ore without its betraying the
secret. There is a little dial on the
lock, and every time the lock Is
opened the figures on the dial move up
one. Suppose for instance, that the
register shows LII at the point of de-
parture, and that when the pouch is
delivered at the point of destination
the lock is opened, the register will
then show LIS. This increase of one
is made for each trip of the pouch, and
eventually the number reached is 9 999,
which, in an average bag, requires
thirty-three years to reach. The bag
is then taken apart and the numbers
are reset
These locks were first introduced in
1881, and q mail clerk made q bold at
tempt to rob a bag in transit soon
after their Introduction. He took
small turning lathe in the mail car
with him to aid in the scheme After
unlocking the bag he rifed the con-
tents and connected the lathe to
the lock. His idea was to twist the
numbers around until they were the
same as before the lock was touched.
He set the lathe huFnming and soon
reeled off the numbers up to 1893,
when, to his CONSERVATION, the regis
ter remained at that figure and refused
to move any mere. The lock must be
taken apart before it will start No. 1
again, but he did not know this. The
trick was. of course, discovered and
the guilty clerk punished. Since then
the locks have never been tampered
with.

SOLDIERS P0R COOKS.
Some of the Makeshifts ResOrted

some Oh the MakeSnIItS hSSOfteu
to During the Crimean War.
Fortnightly Review.
In those Crimean days our soldiers
had no knowledge of cooking, being
in this respect far behind the French
and Turks. But even had our men
been perfect cooks, they would have
had little opportunity of exercising
their skill. Camp kettles were issued
at Kalamita bay, when the troops
landed, in the proportion OF one to
five men. Now, the kettle would cook
fresh but not salt meat for five men.
as more water is required to extract
the brine from salt meat than the ket-
tie could hold, and, moreover, this
number (five) represented nothing
then, nor does it now, in our regi-
mental systems.
Most of the kettles had been dropped
at the Alma, or in the subsequent
march, and the soldiers were reduced
for all cooking purposes to the mess
tin which each man carried on his
back. These were inadequate. The
lid, perhaps, was most priced, for
when the body is wet and cold there
is a craving for hot drink, and it
took less time and fuel to roast the
green coffee berries in the lid than
to boil the salt meat in the body of
the tin. 1t had not occurred to any
one in the department then response
BILE for our commissiat that to make
a mug of coffee out of green berries,
roasting and grinding apparatus was
essential and till January, when some
roasted coffee was landed, our men
might be daily seen pounding with
stones or round shot the berries in
fragment of exploded shell.

Pocket Parcel Carrier.

A parcel carrier for the pocket is
being used in England. 1t is a little
article that can be carried in the pock-
ct when not in use, and is always at
hand when wanted. 1t is nickel
plated, contains lengths of nickel
plated steel chain twenty-four inches
long, and will allow a weight of
twenty pounds. 1t can be used for
books, parcels, umbrellas, etc, and is
said to be specially patronized by shop
pers and school children.

FRUIT DAMAGED.
Wind Storm Sweeps Over North
ern California.

ern California.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May ga
wind storm, beginning at midnight,
swept over the northern part of the
state doing considerable damage in
the fruit sections. At Sacramento the
maximum velocity was forty-eight
miles an hour. Shade trees and signs
were blown down, windows broken
and the contents of show windows
blown about the streets. Many pears
and plums were blown off the trees.
Peaches suffered, especially through
out Placer county, but the damage has
everywhere been great to cherries.
Little damage to grain is reported.
Traffic is suspended On the railroad
between Sacramento and Davidsville.
A vast sea of water overfiows the
Tule lands. When the wind was at it's
highest, water washed over the tracks,
doing considerable damage. For some
distance the track is submerged. A
similar state of affairs exists on the
railroad in the Feather River district
between Knights Landing and Chanler
station.

Scared by the Camera.

philadelphia Record.
A prominent Philadelphia who has
just returned from a trip to Jamaica
brings home the following laughable
story: The photographer of the party
induced a group of native girls to
pose for him. After arranging them
to his satisfaction, he prevailed upon
one of the other girls to take peep
through the camera. What she saw
quite astonished her. and she lost no
time in imparting to the posers the
fact that she had seen them all stand
ing on their heads. The effect was
ludicrous. When the photograph was
taken it revealed each maiden frantic
ally clutching her skirts about her
knees, while a look of great distress
appeared upon each black counten-
ance.

to see it at the Metropolitan next Sun

.PITTSBURG, Pa, May 9.-The ac-

facturers in granting increased wages.
