the Emmets in January. 1890, was pro-
NOTED to corporal the following September,
to sergeant in May. 1892, and first sergeant

and largely because of his untiring efforts
the company has reached such a high
standard in rife practice. A sharpshooter
himself, and also captain of the company
rifle team, the organization. through his In
strumentality, has qualified nearly half its
membership as sharpshooters. He is the
present holder of the medal for the best
drilled man in the United States, having
won 1t at the interstate drill held at Little
Rock. Ark. in July of last year.
Second Sergt. William F. Gallagher. the

1897, and has served as private. corporal
and fifth, fourth, third and second SER
geants. He possesses a magnificent ply
sique. is extremely graceful, and makes an
ideal soldier. 1t is doubtful if a better man
to take care of the right end Of the COM
pany could be found in the entire District
National Guard. Sergt. Gallagher also has
the distinction of being the next best drill
ed man in the United StHes. having stood
second to Sergt McAnnahy at the drill at

A Scheme to Control the Anthacite
Coal Trade.
The New York World says: The Wander
tilts and their friends have completed a
deal of gigantic proportions by the pur-
chase in the stock market of majority Of
the stock of the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad.
The acquisition of the stock began a
month ago, and at the close Of business
in Philadelphia yesterday it aggregated. 1t
is said, 5G0,OOO shares of a total of 5000.
The possession Of the Reading Is the prin-
cipal part Of a scheme for the control of
the anthracite coal trade. The process Of
accommodating Reading stock in New York
has been the same as that employed when
the Vanderbiits and the First National
Bank party sought ascendancy in the Del
aware Lackawanna and Western railroad.
When the scheme is fully consummated
the combine will dictate the management
absolutely of these four companies: Phil
adelpha and Reading railroad; Delaware
Lackawanna and Western railroad; Della
ware ard Hudson Canal Company, Central
Railroad of New Jersey.

to make up the standing ill feeling between
the line and staff of the navy. The officers
being about TO receive visitors from the
British post ashore, Capt Sumner appoint
ed committees to entertain them. This Is
in accordance with the custom, but the
captain in his order designated line Off
Ger in each case to head the committee.
Surgeon William G. Farwell finding him.
self thus subordinated to an officer Of in
ferior rank, protested, and being denied
what he considered justice by the captain,
he appealed the case to the Secretary of the
Navy himself. The latter. after examining
the matter has addressed a letter to Capt
Sumner, discussing the subject at length,
and concluding that the surgeon was in
the right: that in such cases the senior
officer. whether line or staff. must head
the list and that the committee must be
regarded as similar to a beard of tnspec-
ton.

year. When, in April. 1884, the Emmett

A Copyright Decision.

Solicitor General Conrad has rendered
an opinion in which he holds that section
3 of the copyright act Of March 3, 1891,
applies to books which were copy
righted before as well as to those which
have been copyrighted since the act. The
effect Of this opinion, which will govern
in all cases arising under that act, is to
secure to owners of copyrights, secured
prior to the passage Of the act of 1891, the
same protection as Is afforded to books
copyrighted since the passage of that act.
This is in conflict with the opinion Of the
solicitor of the treasury.

ILLEGAL SEALING.
The Work of the Patrol Fleet VIII Be
More Difficult.

MOre D1mcUIt.
The action of the British government In
refusing longer to permit the securing, I'M
der seal, of the outfit and equipment Of
British seaIers, it is said at the Treasury
Department, undoubtedly will render the
work Of the patrol fleet more difficult, as
the danger of illegal sealing will be in
creased; it may also add to the inconveni-
ence necessarily experienced by masters of
such sealing vessels. No change, however,
in the instructions already given our Off
GERS as to searching and seizure will be
necessary further than to remind them
that the failure of a British vessel to Sc
cure her arms and equipment under seal
is not a violation of the Paris award, nor
OF the British act of parliament enacted to
carry out said award.

On Dress Parade.
Dress parade each evening is a beautiful
spectacle and Is always witnessed by large
throngs of people. Heretofore the United
States cavalry troops have not participated
in the ceremony, but there has been such
pressure brought to bear upon the manage
ment that Col. Kellogg has consented to
have the cavalrymen participate in the
spectacle hereafter.
A great feature of the ence mpment Is the
presence of two companies of confederate
veterans, wearing old uniforms CT gray and
drilling according to Hardees tactics.
Every veteran is over sixty years of age,
and the appearance Of the companies Oh
the field always creates the widest en-
thusiasm. Local interest In the confederate
drill Saturday is assuming immense pro-
portions. The old men and the Morton
Cadets have become fast friends, the vet
Grams and the youngsters often being seen
together.

The review of all the troops Monday by
Gen. John NJ. Schofeld promises to be the
most brilliant spectacle ever witnessed in

after the fashion of the opening day, and

 The fin de siecle woman in Orange, N.

Hence the Orange Improvement society has de- termined to take hand in the good work of manufacturing fin de siecle servants and of turning them out with the brand of orthodoxy duly affixed to each one.
 The scheme is comprehensive. One of the largest houses in the Oranges has been secured, and this is to be used as the manufactory. A class of at least 20 glrls will at once be drilled i'll all the branches of domestic service. Cooking, waiting, housework and the care of chil- uren are each to receive proper atten- ton, and after a six months course the graduate is to receive diploma stating mat she is fully competent,
