WAR DEPARTMENT SECRET.
The English Know all About Us,
and We Know all About
Them

From the Armv and Navy Register.
John Bull is an active neigh Dor
in military matters, but he must
not lose sight Of the fact that ar
my officials OF this country are
equally alive to questions which
will be Of Importance in case Of
war with Great Britain. Tele.
grams from Cleveland, o., say that
Lieut.. McMurray, OF the English
army, now visiting that city, who
has been on duty with the Quebec
militia for some time, has talked
freely Of what his country has done
and will do in securing informa-
ton Of a military character relat-
ing to the United States. On the
subject Lieut.. McMurray said:
"The English War Department
Is just as familiar with every foot
Of American territory, and in the
majority of cases more so, than is
your own War Department here.
Our department has in it's posses
sion drawings and exact measure
ments Of every harbor from the
mouth Of the Rio Grande clear
around the Gulf of Mexico, thence
up the Atlantic coast to the boun-
Diary line between Maine and New
Brunswick. The English are &C
quainted with every reef, shoal
and other impediments to naviga-
ton located in American harbors,
and have perfect drawings OF the
same. They also have drawings
of every fortification in the United
States and of all harbor defences.
Last August a party of English
scouts and spies, who passed as
tourists and artists, made sketches
and even photographs, Of the ter
ritory in the vicinity Of Toledo for
a radius Of fifty miles outside the
city. We have also secured sound
ings Of your harbor, as we'll as
those Of other harbors on the lakes,
We have sketches Of every nook,
bay and inlet on the American
side Of the lakes. In case Of war,
England can supply her Generals
with maps Of your country for any
step, in any direction that it would
please her to move an invading
army" Lieut.. McMurray stated
that the new canal system to be
inaugurated through Canada next
spring is not commercial enter
prise, but a war measure, so as to
prevent English ships from being
blocked from entering Lakes HUI
ron, Superior and Michigan, in
case the Detroit and st. Clair
Rivers were blocked with sUnken
vessels or laid with torpedoes. In
connection with this statement,
the visit of the young Englishmen
to whom he referred takes on great
political significance.
This is all very well, and partly
true, we assume. But have we
been idle? Hardly, as the records
of the military division will show.
English Notifications, harbors,
bays, the strength and weakness
OF her land and sea forces and
practically all other intelligence
which would be OF value in time of
war is on file in the War Depart
ment. The Canadian border is an
open book, and the report Of Lieut..
Haines, of the cavalry, recently
compiled, is Of particular impor-
lance. Lieut.. Haines made extern
sive surveys. etc, and the records
Of his SerVicn are greatly nriZed

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Written for the LIGHT.
The snow ballists were pretty
rough and indiscriminate-they
ought not to have pelted persons
passing the street on business, or
aides and elderly men, but, as a
fall of snow is only witnessed,
semi.centenially, in San Antonio
many allowances ought to be made
for the boys, that took hand in
snow balling.
They were carried away by the
novelty and the excitement Of the
sport and forgot their p's and as.
They did it all from spirit OF fun,
and it is impossible to believe they
were prompted by righteousness in
their widest sport.
1t Is a pleasant sight to see a
parcel Of boys enjoying themselves
in sport, even il they are, now and
then, boisterous and somewhat
rough. 1t does them good to have
bit of sport at snow balling,
which most Of them never before
had a chance Of engaging in.
An evening paper calls the snow
ballists "hoodlums" and hauls the
police over the Goals for not arrest
ing them, but there is probably no
ordinance against snowballing, as
the "oldest inhabitant" of our city
has seldom seen snow enough to
furnish supply Of snow balls for
couple of dozen boys.
1t is unjustifiable to call boys
enjoying the sport of snowballing,
for the first time in their lives,
"hoodlums" as "hoodlums" are
disreputable characters and act
from righteousness.
During Mardi Gras, parties are
never arrested for sport and fun.
The occasion is one for sport, fun
and jollity. Snow balling is so ex-
tremely novel and rare sport in
San Antonio, that in should be re-
garded with indulgence and lenien-
cy Just as are the festive sports
and scenes Of Mardi Gras in cities
where it is observed.
The police deserve praise for not
breaking up the rare sport by
making arrests.
The same evening paper init
mates that some of the snow ball
lists purposely placed stones in
snow balls, If such thing was
done, purposely, it was mean and
malicious and admits of no manner
of excuse and apology.
Persons, who Intentionally
placed stones in snow balls, were
not in sport, but were guilty Of
malicious mischief Of the worst
character. ls8s, --rzv-|
In the future, should there be
another fall Of snow, the boys
should carry on the sport Of snow
balling in the usual and legitimate
way where snow is common, viz:
form two companies and pelt each
other, but abstain from throwing
at all persons who are not in the
game.
This method of snowballing is
friendly contest between two COM
panies of boys, is full Of fun and ex-
element, and is witnessed with
keen Zest by the outsiders. 1t
wouldNpot disturb the general pub
lie, nor provoke sour-hearted peo-
pie to call them "hoodlums:" yet
give them plenty Of sport.

Your valuable paper reaches us
every week and is read with much
interest.
Not seeing any items from our
quiet little valley for some time,
allow US a brief space to record the
happenings for your many readers.
Shedding has been the go since
Christmas, and our busy farmers
appreclate'it very much.
Scarlet fever has made its appear
ance III our community, and the
family Of Samuel Mosser is having
a serious time with it.

Miss Maggie E. Beeghly, who
had gone to Oakland, is at home on
visit.
Miss Barbara Kahl, of Oakland,
is at home for a short while visiting
friends.
1t seems strange when we pass by
houses where our children spent
their winter days prior to this win
ter and find them, as it were, for
saken. We used to talk about
public schools, but now we must
talk about the houses, for we are
robbed OF the schools. / do hope
that the leading men of our land
and county will soon see the errors
and mistakes by letting our public
schools be governed by people
appointed by the governor who
probably is not personally acquaint-
ed with one Of the members of the
board. We elect all other county
officers by ballot, and why not oul
school officers. | think change
is needed badly, and it would be
better for our people and schools.

butcher shops of the town is the fact it has the largest demand oi any for choice cuts and at the same time sells an im- mense quantity of less desirable meat at low price.
 Here is how it happens. Every body knows that there are in all food animals certain tender DOT tions, loins, chops and steaks which are in demand and which naturally bring a much better price than the balance. At the meat market of Lutgerding & Company, directly opposite the court house, an immense trade is done in this class of meat. The two highest grade restaurants in town and a large propor- tion of the families who are particular about having nothing but selected cuts are customers of this place.
 Now comes the sequel.
 The result is that there is much meat that is com paratively undesirable. Where there is cream there Is also skim milk, the better and the sweeter as it were. When the tenderloins and DOT terhouses are subtracted from the car cass, there is left remainder of meat which is equally wholesome and fre- quently tender and palatable which is sold for next to nothing.
 Manager Zoeckler, who has been in charge of the place for years. says his trade in such meats as one would nat urally use for picnic purposes is rap idly increasing. He has for some time past kept Tn addition to his general stock of fresh meats, dressed chicken, turkey and fowl, a full assortment of dried beef, boiled ham and other pre- pared yiands.
 Manager Zoeckler will participate in the parade tomorrow night and will show the people of Phoenix and their honored visitors something in connec- tion with the meat question which will open their eyes.
