Her Narrow Escape.

A Washington young woman who col

of the new Turkish minister. The eccen-
trio inscription might be anything else,
so far as the impression which it conveys
to the Anglo-Saxon eye is concerned, but
its authenticity is indisputable, and it's
value is great in the eyes of its possessor.

BE Rendy for War.

General Miles, the general-in-c of
the army, believes that in time of peace
we should prepare for war. He is not
satisfied with the size of the army nor
does he think it advisable to longer delay
the work of terrifying our seaport cities.
In the annual report of the board or
ordnance and Notifications, which has
Just been made public, he says: In view
of the present serious aspect Of European
politics, it is only common prudence for
this nation to be on it's guard, for should
a conflict arise we are liable to be en-
broiled with some power whose navy
in the present defenseless condition of
our coasts might destroy our chief cities,
or exact enormous ransoms from them.
Gen. Miles thinks that congress, at its
approaching session, should make appro-
prlations for the Notifications for which
contracts are now being let. In his
view ian effective preparation for war is
the best safeguard against war;" and no
one doubts that he is right. While it is
true that we have no grounds at present
for apprehending war, if war should
come it would come so quickly That there
would be no time for preparation for it.
The amount of damage that could be done
in a few hours by hostile fleet would be
many times greater than the cost OF
fortifying all our seacoast cities.
Gen. Miles says that experience teaches
that "the wars of nations occur in cycles
of varying length. but seldom does a gen
OF
From this it is apparent that he thinks
we may have another war very soon,
thirty years having passed since our last
great war.
Not only does he think that we ought
to fortify our seaports at once, but he
believes it would be the part of wisdom
to increase our army and navy as the
country grows in wealth and population.
He has no doubt that should we be threat
ened with war we could raise an army
of 100000 men within two or three days,
but it would take time to equip and dis
cipline an army and put it into shape
to render good service. He spoke of this
matter at the dinner of the New York
Chamber of Commerce last Tuesday even
ing, and what he said made a profound
impression. There is no doubt that public
sentiment is in harmony with the views
he expresses, but congress has so many
demands upon it for appropriations that
the revenues are exhausted before the
countrys needs for defensive purposes are
taken up for consideration. 1t is expected,
however, that this winter congress will
make appropriations for Notifications, and
will also consider the ACCESSIBILITY of en-
larging the army

An EGective Remedy.

A charming young woman of Detroit
recently sprained her ankle by a hasty
jump from her bicycle, says the Detroit
Free Press. She was laid up for couple
of weeks, during which time she was
wholly incapacitated for walking or even
riding, being confined to a sofa like the
heroine in last-century novel
Finally the family considered the sprain
of enough consequence to call in the fam
lily doctor, who is a distinguished sur
geon. He was out of patience with any
thing so trivial as a sprain, when he was
daily concerned in scientific operations
of the most important character, and his
first performance was to give the sprain-
ed foot a vicious twist in a surgical way
to find out if any bones were broken
Then he said
Get up and walkp'
But, doctor 1 cannot take a STEP
Get UP and walkr'
There was nothing forithe patient to
do but obey and she stepped lamely forth.
You're not walking, you are limping,''
said the doctor 'Walk!'
She managed bravely to walk to the
next room and the doctor took his hat to
leave.
But. doctor, you have not given me
any prescription
Walk" said the doctor; "then walk
Don't send for me again unless your foot
needs amputating. Good-by.''
Now the patient is walking as well as
she ever did.

The RevivaI of prine Fighting.

1t seems that that eminent philosopher
and exampler of the prize ring, John L.
Sullivan. is to be INDICATED in his claim
that prize fighting is a noble sport, and
that the vindication is to come, to a de-
gree, by and through two, of the most
prominent reformers in this country.
Theodore Roosevelt, president of the
New York police board, attended and wit
messed the Maher-Choynski boxing
match at the Broadway Athletic Club
a few nights ago. He not only permitted
the contest to go on to a finish, but ex-
pressed himself as pleased with the exhi-
bition. DIR. Parkhurst, according to the
correspondence of the Philadelphia
Ledger, says he is satisfied that Mr..
Roosevelt would not have sanctioned or
permitted brutal contest. AS to boxing,
DIR. Parkhurst speaks of it as manly
sport when not degraded. and he believes
in such contests of strength and skill.
Was the contest between Maher and
Choynsk which Mr.. Roosevelt witnessed
and liked, prize fight? The New York
Tribune says an admission fee to the hall
was charged, and that the admissions
brought to the manager something like
$50 900. The principals to the contest had
a purse hung up" for them as an in
centive. During the fighting, or boxing
according to the Tribune, "Choynsk
jabbed at Maher at short range, and
Peter became savage in his efforts to get
back" peter seemed dazed but was
fighting mad" HE punched Choynsk
in the jaw and on the face with swinging
blows" "Choynski, when knocked down
for the second time, arose to his feet
slowly and unsteadily," ''The Hebrew
tottered, his legs twisted and he fell on
his back, doubled up. His limbs relaxed

onds. was counted out, the purse was
awarded to the victor, and everything
else moved along just as if tire contest
ants had been Corbett and Fitzsimmons
instead of lesser lights. Nobody was
killed, there was no actual bloodshed. and
no limbs were broken, to be sure. 1t may
be that is why President Roosevelt called
1t boxing contest, and not a fight To
the ordinary mind, however. it appears
that it was as much a prize fight as that
fought in Jacksonville some time ago be-
tween Corbett and Mitchell
President Roosevelt and DR.. Parkhurst
are certainly courageous to give the
weight Of their sanction 20 such an exhl-
bition. An interesting question now is,
will President Roosevelt permit the pro-
posed contest between Corbett and Fitz-
simmons to be held in New York city?
He could probably get all the guarantees
that he might demand that it will not be
more brutal affair than was the Maher-
Choynski boxing contest"

Evened Up with n Reporter.

1t is reported of Maj. Mckinley, says the
Columbus (O) Dispatch, that during one of
his political campaigns he was followed
from place to place by a reporter for a
paper of the opposition pohtics-one of
those shrewd, persistent fellows who are
always at work, quick to see an opportu-
nifty and skilled in making the most of it.
Mckinley, while he was annoyed by the
Misrepresentation to which he was almost
daily subjected, could not help admiring
the skill with which he was assailed. His
admiration, too, was mixed with compass
sion, for the reporter was i'll, poorly clad,
and had an annoying cough. One night
Mckinley took close carriage for a near
by town, where he was going to speak 1t
night was cold. He had not gone far when
he heard that. cough, and knew that the
reporter was riding with the driver in the
exposed seat. The major called to the
driver to stop, and alighted. Get down
off that seat, young MANI he said. The re-
porter obeyed, thinking that the time for
the majors vengeance had come.
rHere," said Mckinley, taking off his
overcoat; you put on this overcoat and
get into that carriage"
but, Maj. Mckinley" said the reporter,

giving it to you every time you spoke, and
| am going over tonight to rip you to
pieces If / can"
81 know it," said Mckinley, but you

warm, so you can do good job"
he reporter obeyed, and Mckinley shut
the door and climbed up beside the driver.
