In a case where an officer, male or fe-
male, wishes to become engaged to an
ordinary soldier-for rank in the Saliva
ton Army is not caste-the same rule
of separation Is observed, but the pri-
vate must rise from the ranks before
the marriage will be sanctioned. This
provision is made that there may be
extraordinary efforts made by the pri-
vate in doing good work-and love will
find a way-for thus the marriage will
reflect honor upon the army.
If any officer should happen, as is
sometimes the case, 10 fall in love with
one outside the army and this one re-
fuses to join, then he must cease to be
an officer and return to the ranks, dis
honored. One of the precautions
against counting among the officers is
to place a man and wife or two men
and their wives in command of every
corps.
If a female officer and a male private
wish to marry, then, be it leap year or
not, the woman must take the initia-
tive. She must make the application
to headquarters, fill out the required
amount of blanks and do whatever she
can toward making her prospective
lord and master an officer.
''Jilting" in the Salvation Army is
looked upon with the severe disap-
proval that it deserves, and any officer
found guilty of that offense will be at
once reduced ANONYMOUSLY to the
ranks.

Suicides In Germany.

In point of suicides, both as to number
and manner of execution, Germany Still
leads. The other day two young Berlin
ers, both consumptives and tired of life,
met in train by accident. They were
both on the way to a deep, smooth lake
in the vicinity, where they meant to
drown themselves. One had confided
his purpose to the other and together
they carried out their purpose. But q

THE SUPREME COURT.
Motion to Advance the Telephone
Case on t..c Docket.

In the Supreme Court of the United
States today the solicitor general moved
for the advancement on the docket of the
telephone cases, involving the validity of
the Berliner patent, asking to have the
hearing set for en early day in the next
term. He said, in making the motion, that
it was cese involving large interests, and
it was, therefore, important to secure as
early disposition s practicable.
The solicitor general contends that the
Bell telephone receiver having become pub
lie property, the Berliner and Edison pat
ents are the only obstacles which stand in
the way OF the free use Of the microphone
transTitter in practical form, and that
with these patents out of the way the tele-
phone would become much cheaper that
it's use would be widely extended. The
Edison patent, while not directly involved
in the suit, was issued urGer circumstances
so exactly identical with those which at
tended the issue of the Beriner patent
that the government believes the decision
of the pending suit will settle the question
of its validity as TO all the questions raised
by the government. The ground upon
which it is sought to cancel the Berliner
patent is that of a fraudulent conspiracy
in the patent office with the Bell company.

The South Carolina disr rensary cases, the

The court also advanced the hearing of the
sugar bounty cases, fixing it for the first
Monday in March.
Justice Gray delivered the opinion of the
court in the case of Commodore George E.
Belknap and other officers of the navy agt.
Geo. Schild. The case involved the right
of the government officials to use patented
articles for the benefit of the government.
The article used in this case was Il caisson
gate invented by Schild and used at the
Mare Island navy yard. The circuit court
for the northern district of California
granted a perpetual injunction. Justice
Gray delivered the opinion of the Supreme
Court, dissolving the injunction, on the
81 ound that an officer of the government
could not be es:opped by an injunction
Justices Fled and Harlan dissented, hold
ing that the government has no more right

York Shoots Himself.
NEW YORK, February 3.-Fo-mer Police
Commissioner Stephen B. French commit
ted suicide today by shooting himself
through the heart.
Mr.. French was sixty-seven years old. He
was member Of the police board from May,
1887, to May 1889, the last part of his term
as president In 1919 Mr. French went to
California, where he worked at gold mining
and engaged in the hotel business, subse-
quently sailing between San Francisco and
the Sandwich Islands. Having returned
east, Mr.. French was elected treasurer of
Suffolk county in 1869. In 1876 he was ap-
pointed an appraiser at the port Of New
York.
For some time Mr. French had been moody
and respondent, and recently told his wife
that he was worried over business matters
At another time he said to Mrs. French,
"You would be better off if l were not here"
His friends have observed that both ins sap-
pearance and in conversation Mr. French
was not quite himself. So far as is known
there was no adequate cause for his suicide

U. S. INSURANCE COMPANIES
Representative southwick Speaks About
His Resolution for Correspondence.
Three American Companies Frozen
Out by OnerOus Regulations of
the German Minister.

The Southwick resolution calling on the
President for all correspondence between
the United States and German govern
ments on the subject of the exclusion of
American insurance companies from trans
acting business in Germany, which passed
the House Saturday, is explained as fol-
lows by the author Representative South
wick of New York:
president Cleveland in his annual mes
sage of December last called attention to
the exclusion from Germany Of American
life insurance companies, as we'll as Ameri-
can cattle and food stuffs, and suggest ed
retaliation on the part of the United States
AS the insurance companies of this couIi-
try are state corpora tions and not, there
fore. directly under federal supervision,
policy of retaliation on the part Of the gen.
eral government in their interest did not
suggest itself to the President But the
state governments, to whom the regulation
of insurance matters is intrusted, have it
in their power directly to deny German in
surance companies doing business in the
United States any privileges which are not
extended to American companies doing
business in Germany.
THE state of New York has instituted a
movement in that direction, and bill has
been introduced in both the senate and as
sembly of the New York legislature which
carries out that retaliatory purpose
"The exclusion of American life insurance
companies from Germany has thus far been
confined to the state of Prussia. Four big
American companies had been doing busi-
ness in that German state. but one only re-
mains. The trouble undoubtedly arose from
the selfishness and jealousy of German in
surance interests, which viewed with alarm
the increasing popularity Of American
methods of insurance. A newspaper crusade
was organized against the American COM
panies. When that failed the Prussan min
lister of insurance, Koeller by name entered
into the crusade and imposed one condition
after another of an onerous nature until
he succeeded in freezing out three COM
Danes.
Governor Morton and Insurance Super
intendant Pierce of New York wrote Sec
retdry Olney in reference to the Prussian
minister's acts, and the New York insurance
department sent Mr.. Poultney B:gelow to
Berlin to conduct negotiations fora settle
ment Of the difficulty
"koeller has recently been deposed from
his position as minister, but whether on
account of his insurance policy does not
appear. Nevertheless, the more assuring
outlook in the direction of Prussia ought
not TO deter state legislation in this country
such as is proposed in New York, for protec-
ton Is needed by the American Insurance
interests against the Koellers of other Ger
man states and states OF Europe outside of
Germany"
