Col. Thomas Wilson, assistant commits
sary general of subsistence, who was bre-
vetted brisadier general for gallantry dur
ing the war, will retire for age tomorrow
He is among the last of the famous mill
tary class of 1853, of which more than
twenty members earned the rank of gen.
eral including Sherman, Sheridan, Scho-

members of this class now remain on the

and Gen. Thomas l.. Vincent, assistant
adjutant general Colonel Wilson is sta
toned at New York. He and his family
will soon start on an eight months tour

The retirement of Colonel Wilson will re-
suit in number OF promotions, including
that of Capt. d. NJ. Scott, and il is said
that Captain Scott will retire Immediately
after his promotion. In this event two
vacancies will be made IN the list of as
SlStant cOmnllSSdr!eS of subsistence with
the rank of captain. There are already
about 30 applications on file for these
prospective vacancies from officers of the
line, most of whom are lieutenants, but
there are also several captains among the
candidates The desire of officers OF the
latter rank for transfer to the commisSary

that promotions are more rapid in the staff

From Iron and Coal Trades Review.
Cuba is well known TO have large re-
sources III the form of iron ore of excel
lent quality, which have been developed
for a considerable time past by American
enterprise. The ore ranges from 81 to 81
per cent of iron, and Is remarkably free
from phosphorus. From the year 1884 to
1893 the total quantity produced was about
2GG3, COO tons, commencing with 21,793 tons
in 1884, and ending with 10000 tons in
1893. The principal ore-exporting concerns
are the Jaragua and tho Ligua iron COM
panies. The ore is chiefly mined in open
cuts. The Cuban bessemer iron ore range
as it is described in the United States
where the ore Is wholly consumed-is east
of Santiago de Cuba, and extends in length
about twenty-five miles The iron outcrops
average in width about 300 feet, the sur

bearing ground, with dykes of rock vary

They Are All the Rage at Present in
Paris. But They Have To he Boiled.
From the New York Journal
The easiest way OF dying in Paris, as
every one knows, is TO get rUn over. The
coachmen of other capitals r.n over peo-
pie once in a while. and moro often than
not by accident. Partisan jehus look upon
bowling over pedestrians as part Of their
profession, and when victims do not crop
up of themselves they drive out of their
course TO find them. Latterly things have
gone from bad to worse. A sudden freak
of fashion has brought the India rubber
tire into favor in the city of light. The
start was given TO the new fad 10y the
anglomaniacs, who imported rubber tired
safety hanson cabs from London and
glided round in them, amid the staIes Of
their fellow citizens, whom they knocked
over like ninepns while feeding their curl
osity. Vehicles of this sort have been all
the rage among young blades about town
and smart stock exchange men.
Still, had the matter ended here IL would
have had no further effect than to pre-
duce a little extra animation I'm the acct
dent wards in the hospital, but there WAS
more to follow. President Felix Faure got
wind of the innovation through his son-in-
law, NJ Berge, who is a thoro Igh-paced
sportsman and UP 10 all the latest moves in
the horsey world. The PRESIDENTS wish
was 10 run a hanson OF his own, but his
cElet OF the protocol, the functionary
not outrage the proprictiCs demanded OF
his rank, decided that the head Of the
state cannot keep up his dignity In a car
ri&Se with less than four wheels. COM
promise was made, accordingly, and one
afternoon NJ. Faure made the round of
the lake'-the classic drive in the Bois de
Boulogne-in a brand-new Wet oria furnish
ed with the comfortable but deadly rubber
tlres. The day after carriages with rub
ber-ured wheels were the correct thing
and the damage was done
The most ardent followers Of the new
fashlon had proved to be the ladies, and
especially those who are often in society
ara yet all their lives cut Of il. No pro-

now consent to her precious person being

The Army Rifle in Hunting.
From the New York Sun.


Something for sportsmen to consider seri-
ously, If they intend to get ono of the new
@0-caliber army rifles, is the great pene-
tration of the bullets. One Of the bullet
would kill a man through four-inch spruce
tree, or a COW a mile and more away. No
ordinary tree can be depended on to stop
one of these bullets, and it might easily
travel half mile through dense woods and
hit man far out of sight with deadly eff
feet. Field and Stream" says that the
next legislature of our great game states
should pass law prohibiting the use of a
jacketed bullet, because of the DANCER to
human beings. Another argument it offers
in favor of such law VIII have great in
fluence on the men who do not wish TO
wound without killing the game This
class of bullets is useless for large game
unless soft-pointed,' it says, "as 1t rarely
kills instantly. but allows the game to die
from internal hemorrhage, and in terrible
agony, out of reach" When such a rifle "a
used for big game bullet that mushrooms
should be employed. The mushrooming
bullet will kill anything, as it goes clear
through an elk, moose or deer, and the
force of the impact would knock a running
grizzly down.
