MOST UNUSUAL CASE.
Conclusion of the Trial of Hospital
Steward Savidge.

Conclusion of the Trial of Hospital
Steward Savtdge.
The War Department has been advised of
the conclusion of most unusual case,
giving rise to a trial by court martial,
in the Department of the Missouri.
Hospital Steward Morgan Savidge atFort
Reno was convicted and sentenced to be
dishonorably discharged from the service
for the part he played in the sale of pub
lie property at the post at which he was
auctioneer
All required preliminaries had been oh
served, but at the sale the bidding was
practically confined to a citizen and the
steward, he being the auctioneer as stated
He was convicted upon the theory that
for corrupt purposes, in order to become
possessor of the property himself he con-
Quoted a practical fictitious sale.
Major General Merritt, in an order dis
approving the finding and sentence of the
court martial, reviewed the circumstances
surrounding the sale and said: 1T was
within the discretion of the post surgeon,
who teStifieS he was present, to suspend
the sale and direct that the property be re-
advertised for sale at some future time.
He, however in the exercise of a lawful
discretion, chose to confirm the sale, and
having done so it must be held to be valid

Sheriff Palmer Guards 0Ver-the-
River Saloons a la New York.
ROSLYN GAMBLERS LOAFED
Four Constables Yesterday Kept the
Touts and Thugs from Stimulating
Their acknowledgements No
Longer Use CandIer's Han-Crap
Shooters Had No Chance TO Play.

Notwithstanding the victory OF Little
Dickie' johnson, the friend and patron OF
thethugsand gamblers OF ofAleXandria county,
over W. H. Douglass, the reform candidate,
in the contested election for common wealth
attorney, the clusters of gambling dens and
rum shops on the Virginia side Of the Po-
tomac were again closed yesterday, and
the day was as orderly and free from eX
element as the two preceding Sundays
have been.
The vigilance Of Sheriff Palmer has
apparently not relaxed, and his deter
mination to maintain law and order in
his domain has become wei known to the
gamblers and saloon keepers, both at Jack
son City and Roslyn.
AT the railroad gambling and drinking
resort at the end of the Long Bridge
yesterday the place looked bleak and the
assembled loafers looked bleaker. Mud
street from the end Of the bridge To the
race track was a mass Of deep holes, filled
with black mud and water, utterly i'm
passable pedestrians except inpIaces.
Harry Gamblers saloon was closed and
desolate and the screen doors on the porch
in front OF the place swung seldom. Mack's
place and Joes saloon were also tightly
touts stood in front Of the two saloons or
lounged around on the big platform in
front Of tie feed store.
FVANGELIsTS ARE SHELTERLESS
Eatchett's Mission, as Gamblers Hall
was named for two or three Sundays, has
been given over to other purposes, and the
Eyangelists are no longer allowed the
privilege OF holding Gospel services under
ghelter. The afternoon meetings are held
now. as when they first started, along the
railroad track about midway of the town.
They have come to be looked upon as q
Fegular Sunday afternoon occurrence by
the residents and frequenters OF the place,
and now that the novelty has worn off, they
attract little attention.
The prevailing idea among the enter
prising citizens of the place is 10 get as
much as they can out OF any and all who
come their way with the least possible
exertion. That is the standard set, and
all live up to il religiously, if anything
can be done that way across the river.
There is more physical calm and lack OF
movement nowadays in Jackson City than in
any other place of its size on the globe.
Yesterday four constables kept vigilaut
watch on the place and IL was impossible
90 start even game OF craps among the
buns. They just loafed around and kept
their eyes peeled for any possible nnsning

Unique Affair TO Occur at the Cele-
brated Place Next Year.
Counsel Robertson, located at Hamburg,
IN informing the State Department of the
intention of holding an international naval
exposition at kiel, from the 25th of May
to the 30th Of September, 1896, says:
THE grounds chosen for the exhibition
are beautifully situated along the shore
OF the hay of Kjel, close to the eastern
entrance OF the newly opened canal, and
with splendid view OF the harbor of Kiel.
They measure about $50 900 square meters.
Large exhibition buildings and small
pavilions viii be erected as well as open and
half covered galleries. The naval exhibition
is to comprise all articles in any way con-
nected With the navy or shipping in general
as well on the seas as on the rivers and
canals.
ut is also 10 give q complete historical
review of the development and progress
made n shipbuilding and its kindred
industries. The waters Of the harbor of
Kiel offer excellent opportunity for showing
steam or electric launches, sailing yachts,
rowing boats, etc. The official programme
win be ready in September next"
The naval exhibition will be given in
connection with an industrial exposition
OF the province of Schleswig -HolsteiD.

HAS NOT REOPENED.
Nelson's, the gambling joint raided by
Sheriff Palmer several days ago, has not
been reopened. and the probabilities are
that the seductive games OF faro and keno
viii not flourish there for many moons
Thegambling layouts, valued datover$2 600,
were captured by the sheriff in the raid,
and are held by him as evidence.
Heath's keno house was also tightly
closed up yesterday, so far as gambling
was concerned, and the example made of
Nelson's has doubtless proved sufficient
notice for the proprietor Of the other place,
as there has been no open gambling there
since.
Roslyn has had more perfect freedomfrom
brawIs and Sunday drunks since Sheriff
Palmer issued his manifesto that these
things must cease than ever before AL
thesaloons, aud the place is composed largely
ofsaioons, are closed regularly at . O'Clock
Saturday night and do not reopen until
Monday morning, and the side door attach

The little town is not filled every Sun
day now with toughs from Georgetown and

went there 20 procure liquor upon which

change is so marked that even the bad ele-
ment cannot help but approve of it, and

Raw Eggs.

Raw eggs are frequently ordered
as when they can be taken and re.
tanned by sick person they are en-
tremcly nourishing, simply because
the albumen, not having been hard
cned, is the sooner digested. Many,
however, cannot take raw eggs as
usually given, that is, beaten up with
milk or wine, The following mode is
good one; the appearance of the
dish is SO nice that an Invalid will
often be induced to try it 1t is free
from oiiness and clean to the palate.
Put the yolk Of an egg into basin
with II teaspooniul OF white sugar
and tablespoonful of orange or

plate, add pinch OF salt, and then,
with broad-bladed knife, beat it to
a stiff froth. Then, us lightly as
possible, mix all together in the
basin, and as lightly transfer to e
clean tumbler, which 1t will nearly
fill II properly made. This must not
stand in warm place, or it soon
becomes liquid and loses its snowy
look.

Captain Barker has built = nice
camp, with good cellar, near his
hatchery near Bemis. which over.
looks the spring, and has II mon on
guard night and day. lie also has n
number OF traps set In the stream
and on the banks. In one the other
night he caught monster owl.
In constructing his hatchery he
eXcavated place about twenty feet
square In the bank. whore he found
large boiling spring which is con-
nected with the original spawning
ground. The trout have gone over
the old bed into the house, where
they are clearing or the ground and
seem to prefer IL to the open water.
The Captain says that trout will
so over dry land to get to their
spawning ground. The above state.
ment Is based on facts, rs he aud
several OF his workmen u few days
ago saw trout come up stream to
where it was filled with leaves. The
trout rested II moment or two, then
started overland some three or'four
feet to open water. One Of tie men
remarked that all that was needed
for the trout to reach the hatchery
was to have road swamped for
them.

WINTER NIGHT SPORT,


A peanut hunt is lots of fun for an
evening party. The hostess hides
peanuts In all sorts OF queer places
about the room, sometimes putting
two or three nuts In the same place.
Then she provides each OF her guests
with q little basket tied with gay
ribbons, and the "hunt" begins.
After u certain time the finds are
compared. Tho one who has the
largest number gins the first prize,
while the "booby prize" is fittingly
awarded to the one having fewest.
Some other trials that are great
sport are often introduced. One is
to see who can carry the most pea
nuts In one hand from one table to
another. A boy ought to win this.
Forty-two Is u good number. Oi
course, the winner Is to be rewarded,
while the 'booby." too, must have
n simple something.
Another trial consists In carrying
potatoes from one room to another
in q teaspoon. The potatoes, which
should be round and big, IRE better
put OH II table with u polished top.
The one who can carry the greatest
number of potatoes from one table
to the other In given time wins
The tables must be far apart. 1t IL
not easy to scoop up the potato,
and, once secured, 1t is still difficult
to retain.

A PECULIAR KITE.

experimenting has made u kite which,
upon being tossed into the air. will

Anybody can make this kite II he
will bear In mind the appearance Of
u bird in the air. IL consists Of u
wing.Iike main part, and paddle.
like tail. 1t may be of any size.
The wings should be like two right
angled triangles, connected ut the
base, only the paper must be curved
outward beyond the hypotenuse,
much the same as u birds wing Is
curved. About half the length Of
one wing from this main portion, II
light, flexible piece OF wood should
hold the tail-a paper paddle OF tho
area of one OF the wings.
Make each wing with n little con-
veyity from the under side, and don't
attempt to fly II with string. Tic
II string to the leg OF frightened
bird; it will fly to the end of 1t,
ilutter Il moment, and fall to the
ground. This kite will do the same.
A bird cannot fly backward !;
neither can this type Of kite. twill
go with the wind, and for the same
reason that n bird goes forward.
The tendency OF the breeze, which
will first strike the tail, will be to
throw the kite down, but as the tail
goes down it elevates the wing por-
ton. The instant the wings begin
10 rise to Il perpendicular position to
the wind current, it presents II
broader surface to tho breeze, and is,
of course, pushed onward. by this
undulatory, snake-like wavering, it
scuds onward and upward This
movement may be seen in any hutter-
ing flag on n breezy day. Indeed this
discovery was made by observing the
undulatory m ton of II flag on the
mast. Il Atlanta Constitution.

THE LENGTH OF A DAY.

Perhaps you d., not know that the
quickest and readiest way to find the
length Of the day Is to double the
time Of tho sun s setting. The length
Of the night may be found In like
manner by doubling the time Of the
suns rising.
On the 2lst Of June, for example,
the sun sets ut Z 30 o'clock in this
latitude. Twice 7:3O gives fifteen
hours, the length Of that day. The
sun rises on that day ut 4 80, and
twice 1870 gives nine hours as the
length OF the night. The fifteen
hours of daylight and the nine hours
OF night make up the whole day Of
twenty-four hours.
THIS rule Is not exact to a minute.
but 1t is good enough for all practi.
cal purposes Il detroit Free Press.
