Thinking over tie story published III
yesterday mornings GLOBE regarding
the enlistment of n. V. Scharllng as a
private i'll the ranks Of The United
States army after he had been wined
and dined by the officers at Fort Smell
ing on his representation of being an
officer in the Danish army, GLOBE
reporter was struck by the popularity
Of the laws that permitted foreigner
to SO readily enter the United States
army. Speaking of the affair to Judge
Kelly yesterday, the reporter aSke d
him if it were possible that foreigners
are accepted in the army as soon as
they have declared their intentions Of
becoming citizens.
s"They do not even have to declare
their Intentions" was Judge Kelly's
reply. A short time ago issued natu-
radiation papers to man who had
been tWenty-Seven years in the United
States army. Under the law, foreign
ers who serve certain length of time
i'll the army are entitled to become citi-
zens by merely proving their service
that refer ~ produced his certificate
of honorable discharge for one period
eff enlistment after the other for twen
ty-seven years. He would always re-
enlist on being discharged"
On further inquiry it developed that
large proportion of the soldiers in the
regular army are foreigners. Americ-

probably, because their spirit of liberty
and independence revoits at the strict
discipline the life imposes on them and
the fact that the distinction between
the officer and the private is too broad
there is not enough equality. Another
reason is the meagernesS OF the cOm-
penSatiOn, though, taking everything
into consideration. including living eX-
penses, soldier probably receives more
year in and year out than the average
mechanic. anu surely more than the
average laboring man.
Seafaring is another occupation that
is stunned by the average American,
and chiefly for the same reason that he
shuns the army-because of the dis
cipline and the fact that he is locked
upon with 50 little respect by his SUI
perlors. Added To this is the brutality
of the average shipmaster, especially on
sailing vessels. Every intelligent man
who has ever been to sea can testify 10
the many charms the life has in spite of
its hardships and risks. But Amer
leans. or Intelligent men of any ma
tional!ty for that matter, will not stand
thd naughty, overbearing, to say moth
ing of brutal, treatment sailors receive.
ShipmasterS complain about the inferi-
GRITTY of the class of men who go before
the mast in these days They say they
are base. ignorant and brutal them
selves, and can be handled only by being
. treated brutally at times. But the fact
is the masters themselves are prlmar-
lily responsible. for by their own bear
ing they have made an otherwise rather
attractive life bearable-Shunned by
intelligent men the world over and
scorned by Americans.

of View.


of View.
The annual benefit performance
given the Press club at the Grand
opera house yesterday afternoon by
the st. Paul Ideals, under the auspices
of the St. Paul Lodge of Elks No. SO,
was entirely successful. Every box
was taken, and the balance of the
house was crowded. The first two
parts were taken up by an excellent
minstrel entertainment, wherein sew
eral pleasing innovations were intro
duced. The interlocutor in the first
part was c. S. Bartram; in the second,
J. w. Owens. The respective bones
and tambos were II. Eonnors and
Charles NJ. Ernest, with F. Q. Swasey
and F. Tenney in the second part.
A number of sentimental and amusing
songs were sung with much spirit and
effect by the various gentlemen of
temporary color; and part two closed
with an exhibit Of skillful sketch work
in colors and crayons by c. F. Brisley.
The concluding olio presented a va
riety of delightful specialties. Miss
Minnie Elmer secured much applause
by her artistic dancing and comic
hits. Little Queen Arey was justly
admired for her pretty self, her beau
tiful costumes, and the remarkable
execution of her Spanish and skirt
dances. Both ladies received encores
and bouquets.
The whole entertainment was under
the management of F. II. Tenney.
Many members from both branches
OIL the Legislature were present, and
the affair was success.

Witness had treated w cher at La Crosse

came to him and got bottle of lini-
ment. He then told the doctor that he
wanted to give him certificate that he
had treated him. The doctor gave him
a certificate to the effect that he had
given him bottle of liniment for cal
legged lame back" Witness then identi-
fed the two letters claimed to have been
received by him from Weber later Oh,

Roast Goose for Two.

The following good story is told in
connection with the 4Sth Georgia Reg
iment:
AS the regiment was on the march
to Gettysburg, some of the soldiers
stepped out of the ranks and confisca-
ted a couple of geese, and one OF the
drummers unheaded his drum and put
the captured birds in it.
Shortly afterward the Colonel came
along, and, noticing the drummer fail
to give his usual drum whacks, rode
up and said:
why don't you beat that drum?"
Colonel" said the startled man.
Il want to speak to you"
The Colonel drew close to him and
said:
''Well what have you to say?"
The drummer whispered:
Colonel, I've got a couple of geese
in here. ="
The Colonel Strengthened up and
said:
well, if you are sick, you needn't
play" and then rode on.
That night the Colonel had roast
goose for supper.-Atlanta Constitu-

The Clay Lamp-Wick.

There has been invented lamp
wick of clay which it is claimed gives
- per cent more light than the ordi-
nary wick of cotton. The wicks, which
have already been tested by use in
microscopical and laboratory work
and given perfect satisfaction, are
made capillary by Incorporating with
the clay while in soft state filaments
of unspun vegetable fiber, which is
burned out in the process of making.
The object of the inventor has been to
provide an indestructible wick which
shall possess all the advantages and
qualities of an ordinary cotton or
fiber wick. and which shall in addition
burn an indefinite time without renewal
or necessity of trimming or care.
Owing to the perfect combustion of the
wick. the flame is perfectly white.
without Odor or smoke. The burning
out of the fiber leaves capillary tubes
through which the oil from the lamp
is raised to the flame. Popular Science
