Transfers in Salvation Army An

At the council of officers of the Salvation
Army yesterday afternoon the various ap-
pointments of officers to other posts were read
and several promotions made. The command
er had only arrived at the meeting when he
was handed an important cablegram from
Gen. Booth in London, and he was Obliged to
leave the council Immediately to send an an

not be learned, but it was undoubtedly of
much Importance, to the commander at least.
as he could not return to. the meeting. and
sent word to Maj. Stillwell that he wished to
see him as soon as possible. 1t was the most
enthusiastic meeting that the officers have
held, though the absence of the commander
was regretted. In speaking of this division
of the army, Booth-T Tucker says he is more
than pleased with the work it is doing. and
that he is overwhelmed with the reception he
has received. He thinks that many In the
city outside Of the ranks would feel badly IL
the army gave place to any other organization
If it divided, and he says he will endeavor
to be worthy of the good will and welcome
which has been extended to him during his
short stay in the city. He stated that while
there was not much slum work being done in
the city at present, that the soldiers were
going to do a great deal in that line in the
future.
At the morning meeting while the name of
Ballington Booth was not mentioned, the COM
mander instructed the officers to treat any
organization which might be made In their
cities as the army has treated all churches.

JUDGE REA DEMURS,
Accounting in the Bank of New En-
gland Affairs Not Advisable,

John P. Rea, receiver of the Bank of New
England, has filed answer in the action of
the state Of Minnesota against him to compel
au accounting. He claims that the indebted
ness at the time of the assignment amounted
to S1S5, 0S, and the liabilities at this time
remaining unpaid are SS6,S73, of which S. 900
is the preferred debt of the state of Minnesota
He says he is ready and willing to make
final account at this time, but to do so would
be unwise and unjust to the creditors and
stockholders. He claims that since he took
charge of the banks affairs he has devoted
all his time to settling them up, and has used
every Legitimate means to close them up. He
says he has not brought suits when there was
a disposition to pay, and has not forced people
into bankruptcy, but has preferred to be easy
with them.
He admits that there are a large number of
debts owing the bank by people VIGOROUSLY
insolvent. He has taken real estate as secur-
1ty for some loans, which could not be dis
posed Of without great loss He has still in

BAXTER's DEFENSE WEAK.
Case Will Go to the Jury Early To-

The Baxter mudrer trial is almost over, and
the public is wondering wherein the defendant
has shown any defense. 1t was supposed
when the attorney opened his case for the ac-
cused that he would have some strong evil
dence to show his claim but as the day wore
away, and the case closed 1t was with no little
surprise that the hearers noted that the de-
tense had been short and very little to the
point. Mr.. Nye himself was surprised, and
"hen ne made his closing arguments he could
not help but dwell sarcastically upon the de-
tense, such as it was, where practically eyery-
thing was admitted.
The defense, in brief, was an attack 1Inon the
character Of the murdered woman in the hone
that the jury could be led to look only at that
point and not think Of the real issue in the
case, which was as to whether or not Baxter
mad killed his wife in an effort to save his
own. Mr.. Nye never made more earnest ia Tx
10 a jury, and it was because he felt the ne
cullar brutality Of the case, augmented by the
caImness and unconcern of the defendant him
SELF IN the court room. The most astonishing
part OF the case was the ease with which the
chlldren OF the murdered woman went on the
stand and deliberately swore to her bad char
acter and immoral life

strive to excuse the action of his client bnt
did his best. He will conclude TODAY and II is
thought that the calm statement of the law of

THE SENTINEL SLEPT,
But Fortunate Circumstance Saved
Him From Death.

washington Star.
A Star reporter had an army officer as list
ener, and he was expatiating on the way he
would shoulder a musket and fight, bleed and
die for his beloved country, in case there was
war with England or any other effete mon
archy tottering on tumbling throne, or words
to that effect
Ibid you ever do guard duty on a nasty
night in the enemy's country?' inquired the
officer.
"Well no." hesitated the reporter:
Then don't say what you would do until
you have tried it. 1t reads nicely in the pa
pers. and lots of men delight in imagining
the high stepping style that they would trot
along the crimson path that leads to glory or
the grave, but when the crimson is mud or
the path is in thicket, which at any moment
may blaze up with a voley, it isn't half so
nice to think about. The fighting is the least
disagreeable thing about war, and the glory
is won at an amazingly high price,

porter; ''I would be an officer and have some
body else to do the guarding"
well, didn't begin my soldier career that
way" said the officer. 81 was a private, and
not yet twenty, and the amount of guard duty
did seemed to me to be enough to protect all
the armies in the field. Let me tell you a
story Of how did it one night: 1t was a dark
and dismal time down on the Potomac and
We nad Deen Wadlng around In the mud and

Under such circumstances sentinels are given
extra orders to be watchful, and for a guard to
sleep on his post means death at daylight
sure.
81 had been placed in an exposed position,
and my orders were very strict indeed. My

tween two gorges, and 1 had a monopoly of

GRAND JURY ACTS.
Two Indictments for Counterfeiting
Whisky Labels.

Be careful how you cross the "t's" when
you write.
This is good advice on general principles,
probably, but it applies especially and with
much force if you should happen to under
take to counterfeit the label which adorn bot
ties of Hiram Walker & Sons Canadian Club
Whisky, you are apt to see in any well ap-
pointed thirst factory.
The style of crossing letter "t's,' together
with supporting evidence, of course, cuts
quite figure in an indictment returned yes
terday by the grand jury, which arraigned
two well known citizens on charge which
carries with it punishment by Imprisonment
or fine in conviction is found.
The indictment finds that George g. Jacoby
and Moritz Mikolas, doing business as the
New Market Wine house, have counterfeited.
with intent to defraud, the trade mark and
label of Hiram Walker & Sons, of Walker
vile, Ont, and that they have placed the
label on bottles of whisky Of inferior grade
and disposed of them as containing genuine
Canadian Club whisky.
Last December Walker & Sons, who had
learned that their gods were being counter
feited in the Northwest, sent secret police
agents here, who discovered that the Monasch
Lithographing company, Dec %, had received
an order from Jacoby & Mikolas for printing
10000 labels resembling as closely as possible
those Of Hiram Walker & Sons and similar
number of stamps closely initiating the official
seal Of the commissioner of inland revenues
of Canada.
In the latter part of January, through
Welch, Hayne & Conlin, Northwestern attor-
neys for Walker G. Sons, seizure was made
Of certain goods at the store of the New
Market Wine company, at the corner of First
avenue north and Seventh street. 1t Is said
that bottles Of cheap liquor bearing the coun-
torfeit fbor
evidence showing that they had made extern
sive preparations for imposing on the public
by counterfeiting the goods of Walker Sons.
Tho indictment returned yesterday against
Jacoby and Mikolas is a result of this inves-
tigation, no arrests being made at the time.
The imitation of the genuine label is so
close as to defy casual inspection. Upon close
observation, however 1t is noticed that in the
words limited" and Ontario the cross
on the stem of the letter ct" is only on the
right hand side, and in the counterfeit is on
both sides Of the stem of the letter. The
seal of Hiram Walker & Sons printed In
green ink is also imperfectly initiated.
1t is altogether likely that Jacoby and Mix
olas will be vigorously prosecuted. Hiram
Walker Sons have for some time past
spent a great deal of money in prosecuting
people engaged in the probably lucrative, but
hazardous business of counterfeiting their
labels and trade mark by means of which
they have been able to sell at good profit an
article Of so-called whisky at much less price
than the genuine.

COMPANY F INSPECTED,
The Guards Presented Capt. Robe
deau an Elegant Sword.


And now Company F, N. G. s. M. has gone
through the ordeal, and all Its failings and
shortcomings have been duly noted in Lieut.
A. B. Johnson's notebook. The company was
inspected last night and went through the
usual drill, with Capt. Robedeau in command.
The company numbered seventy-four men
when it lined up for inspection, lacking two
men to make full company. The men
ranked we'll in appearance with the other COM
panies that have been inspected. After the
inspection had been completed the company
was put through manual of arms and setting
up exercises. The platoon work was good. as
was also their firing loading and firing in
squads. The oblique marching of the men was
the best that any company has done at this in
spection.
After little drilling had been done the
men raced the audience IN two lines and
Capt Robedeau ordered Private ]. E. Kaaro
10 step forward. The captain stepped up to
him, and with few appropriate words pinned
gold medal on the breast Of the happy
soldier as reward for the best recruit work
done in the company. Kaaro then was given
the command to retire, which he did, to the
applause of all present.
When the applauding had ceased Mai
Ames stepped forward, and with a short ad-
dress, presented the captain with a beautiful
sword on behalf of the company. The boys
and their friends spent the remainder of the
evening In dancing, as the other two COM
pan1es had done before them.

meetings under the leadership of Com
mander Booth-Tucker was held at the Swed-
ish tabernacle last evening, 1000 persons be-
Ing In the audience. The meeting was pre-
ceded by parade, which became a serious
matter to many of the soldiers, because they
had to wade through muddy streets for
blocks. Some of the "blood and fire" SOL
diers shirked the mud, but others walked
through 1t regardless of discomfort.
The exercises at the Swedish Tabernacle
were largely Scandinavian, so far as the in
troductory exercises were concerned. Com
mander Booth-Tucker led the exercises The
songs included a Swedish version of one of
the popular songs and a new one, ''There'll
Be Music There
The sermon was by the commander. 1t was
history Of the Salvation Army and a proph-
esy OF It's future. He took a Scripture lesson
from Isaiah, 35th chapter. He said that the
well-to-do not need the army. but for
those IN the wilderness of life it was, in the
commanders mind, the one remedy for the
sickness of sin. There might be Others but
none so potent. He then gave history Of
