Is Ordered Discharged from Custody
-Schofield Scored by the Court.
Judge Bradley of the District Supreme
Court in Washington ordered the dis
charge from custody of Captain George
A. Armes, whoswas arrested on the order
of Lieutenant General Schofeld just prior
to the latter's retirement from command
of the army for having written him an
insulting letter. Judge Bradley scored
the action of the late general of the army,
characterizing it as unlawful, tyrannical
and capricious. In discharging Captain
Armes, whose arrest and confinement
General Schofeld had ordered by virtue
of his position as acting secretary of war,
Judge Bradley said: ''The arrest and
taking away of Armes into custody, car
rying him away from his home to bar
racks and holding him in close arrest
without any antecedent charge of crime
preferred in any way against him, was
and is unjust, unlawful arbitrary, tyran-
nical and capricious on the part of Cen
eral Schofeld, in whatever capacity he
acted, whether acting as lieutenant gen-
eral or acting secretary of war. The petit
toner Is discharged"

Waterloo. He joined the German army
at an early age, and for his bravery
was advanced to the rank of captain In

Faith for To-day.

In the faith for to-day the modern
man believes himself not an isolated
Individual, but an integral part of the
great human race, all men of one spirit.
No person so unimportant as not to af-
feet the whole, all to be led on together
to the stature of the highest. o, rich
and wondrOus man, thou art the palace
Of sight and sound! Thou earliest i'm
thy senses the morning and the night
and the unfathomable galaxy. In thy
heart thou hast the never-failing power
of love, in thy brain the ever widening
thought of God, in thy soul the light Of
endless life.

The tire Of the big wheel Is of rubber
three inches thick.
Weakley, the inventor of the "satra-

material with which to build his first
wheel, the machine shown in the Illus
tration, and on which he has raced with
the wind, being constructed entirely Of
scraps that Weakley picked up in the
streets and along the railroad tracks.
He believes that his "satracycle" is des-
tined to become very popular among
professional wheelmen and hopes be-
fore long to interest some one with him
In its manufacture.
This first test machine Is so con-
structed that 1t can be easily taken
apart, and 1t is almost as easily put
together again. The pedal movement
is not much different from the ordinary
wheel, except that the necessities OF
gravity require the seat on the axle and

PLENTY OF TRADE.
But 1t Is Invested with n Tantalizing
Uncertainty.


Uncertainty.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: 1.-THE, price barometer gives
indications that are not entirely favor
able. Cotton goods go up, with increas-
ing evidence that the crop of cotton is
short. Prices of other manufactured
products, of wool, hides, and leather, all
show some decline, a general abatement
in new orders being the principal cause.
With an immense volume of business, not
much exceeded in the largest month of
the exceptional year 1892 and with evil
dence that in several important branches
the volume has surpassed that of any
previous year, there is a growing uncer-
tainty about the near future of industries.
Money markets are neither strained nor
threatening, foreign exchanges no longer
raise apprehension, and fears for the
great Northwestern crops are past. There
have been few advances of wages of labor
during the last month and only a few
works have been closed by strikers for an
advance"
