GEN. RUGER'S IDEAS.
SUGGESTS PLANS FOR THE EXTEN-
SIONS OF FIELD PRACTICE.
How the Young Men in the Army
May BE Made Acquainted With
Many Matters They Should Know

New York. Nov. PA Herald Wash
commanding the department of the
east, has suggested plans for the ex-
tension OF field practice of the three
arms of the military service. He adj
Vocates the acquiring of suitable
ground of little value for agriculture or
other use. convenient to the stations
OF artillery companies in the depart.
ment of the east and throughout the
country where field practice may be
had, the terrene being of sufficient va
riety of surface to admit of free move
ment and firing without concern as to
limit, to simulate light artillery action
in battle. The ground might also be
used for large garrison, to which sew
eraI regiments OF infantry, one OF cav
airy and li~ht batteries might be sent
in turn Cor one or two years, to con-
stitute practically a training school
for preparing young officers for duties
of command, In a comparatively short
time there will be no officers on the
active list of the army who have had
opportunity for command or of obser-
walton of military exercises by a con-
siderable body of troops
Appropriations viii be asked for the
purpose of Transportation and other
necessary expenses. These assemblases
are to take place frequently, and il is
intended. to join with them the organ
lied forces of the different states Tor
instruction. The proper arming and
drilling of militia is one of the com
ponents of the plans proposed for the
extension OF the military strength of
the country. The passage of the pend
ing bill for the increase of the artillery
force Of the regular army is to be
strongly recommended by the secretary
of war in his forthcoming annual re-
port. and it viii be strenuously urged
in the next congress, along with other
PENDING legislation looking to the in
crease of the army in efficiency The
army is unquestionably in better con-
dition in every respect than ever be-
fore in its history. The officers are
better equipped for their duties, both
theoretically and practically, and the
men are of a better class morally and
physically and are better housed,
armed, instructed and drilled 1t is
unlikely that the United States will
establish a military post in Alaska for
the present.

ING-.TO SHIPoWNERs.
No Sign of the Troubles Between the
Shippers and Their Employees
Being Adjusted.

Hamburg, Nov. 24.-The strike of the
dock laborers and others employed in
the shipping trade continues, and
some of the shipOwners and consignees
are finding it difficult to get their
vessels loaded or discharged. The
Hamburg American line has advised
intending shippers by their steamers
TO send their goods by way of Bremen,
Antwerp or Rotterdam. The COM
panles in those places which belong to
the Atlantic steamship association
have undertaken to carry out all the
contracts entered upon by the Ham
burS-American company Similar
measures will be taken in the matter
OF passenger traffic. 1t is stated that
the pooling arrangements guarantee
the Hamburg-American company
against pecuniary loss from a strike.
There is no sign, as yet, of the differ
enceS between the shipping men and
their employees being adjusted The
employers are firm in their refusal to
grant the demands of the men, and
the latter are equally as firm in their
attempt to compel the employers TO
accede to their terms The movement
threatens to spread to Bremen. The
support that the strikers are receiving

and other employers of harbor labor.
have decided to re-employ any of the
men who express a willingness to re-
turn to work before Thursday, at the
old rate of pay without the increase
granted lately as a compromise. They
will not re-employ any of them who
refuse to accept their terms. The
strikers now number about 5000. Work
on the docks and in the harbor is all
most at a standstill. A large number
of men who arrived from Friesland and
other places to fill the places OF the
strikers returned Immediately upon
learning of the position of affairs. Mr.
Joseph H. Wilson, president of the
London Seaman's union has tele-
graphed that the members of that
union will not discharge any vessels
from Hamburg.

SANTA FE RECEIvERsHIP.
Contradictory Statements Made by
the Parties to the Case.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 24.-Further than
the filing of the dispositions as told in
these dispatches yesterday, the stock
jobbing conspiracy in the Santa Fe re-
ownership case has not yet been aired
in the federal court, and it is now
probable that it viii not be at this
hearing. The attorneys for the prose-
cution have temporarily waived the
questions of fact and saw they are
willing 70 submit their cases on the
points of law alone. They accordingly
withdrew the allegations of facts set
forth in their motion and this shuts the
Santa Fe attorneys of the introducing
questions while this motion to remand
is being considered Unless, therefore
the prosecuting attorneys decide to go
into the question of fact, the evidence
tending to prove a stock jobbing con-
splracy Will not be introduced until
the case comes to a trial on its merits,
If at ALL The Santa Fe attorneys claim
this is complete backdown on the
part of the opposition and assert they
are afraid to let the damaging evidence
be introduced. The opposition say this
is not true.

should, of course, be omitted.
For a small linen dolly allow bow
knot for each corner and only a single
flower spray for the middle Of each
side, connecting all with the ripping
ribbon. Use Asiatic flo floss in wild
rose tints for the flowers, tender olive
green for the leaves, and darker
olive, or golden yellow, for the ribbons.
Or work the whole with single shade
of any pretty color that will harmonic
with the rest of the table appoint
ments.
For the border of linen center cloth,
work the design solidly in satin stitch,
with Asiatic twisted embroidery silk,
which is the best silk to choose for en-
broidery on any piece of work made of
medium weight goods, neither very fine
nor very heavy.
For q felt or denim table cover or a
lounge cushion, outline the design with
Asiatic Roman floss, which is effective
for such work. A big cushion of yellow
denim with the border outlined upon it
with black Roman floss, edged with a
frill of black satin with scattered vel.

How to Turn the Stump OF an Old Tree

Stumps of old trees that have out
lived their usefulness and been relega-
ted to the wood pile are not uncOm-

tempts are made to turn them to artis-
tic and useful account. The simplicity
Of the plan illustrated commends itself.
The stump is first sawed to fat sur
face and then fitted with top Of thick
boards Of the desired dimensions. Four
rustic supports or brackets are placed
underneath at the four corners. These
should be as much as possible in their
natural state, with any little crooked
ness or knots allowed to show, as they
add much to the pretty effect on the
whole. The edges, too, Of the top

val in the shape of airing, shaking, etc.
A washing machine is very good for the
purpose, especially as they should never
be rubbed by the hand. The water
should be only lukewarm, and a little
soap we'll lathered in the water is all
that will be required. Wiring the
blankets very dry through wringer,
shake them out, and wash again in the
same way, wringing each time, until
they are quite clean. Do not rinse
them, but pull them into shape and
hang them out in the sun, which is a
great help to preserving good color.

TASTE IN JEWELRY.
GlIStenIng Gems Should Not Be Worn

GlIBtenIng Gems Should Not Be Worn
IndlSOrImlnately by Women.
Rubies should be worn en- masse to
be effective. Strong-featured women
may affect them, but it is better to have
q bushel of garnets than one ruby. Very
delicate women who are dark should
wear moonstones, with few small di-
Almonds; If blonde, straw-colored to-
paz. Hammered gold Is becoming to
energetic women. Serious, iron-gray
women should wear ornaments Of
blackened silver.
The sapphire which tones best with
blue eyes and black hair is the star
sapphire, or astoria" It is found Of
immense size. It's sister, the star-ruby,
has a gray-violet CLEAN. These beau
tiful stones shine, with morning star
Of light, like the dull radiance of cats
eyes. The orientals love them, and say
they fash without giving pain. Both
these gems are effective for stones cut
en- cabochon.
Emeralds are nearly always mounted
badly; they should be the climax to
many other tones of green. The enam-
els Of India show them IN the best
taste, and they can be associated with
jade, chrysoprase, Alexandrite, beryl
and aquamarine. The opal has re-
turned to favor, and is becoming to
every style. The turquoise mounts
wonderfully with the peacock-blue

annh WAY to Test LInen.

A way to test linen, by means OF
which the introduction of cotton
among the linen threads may be de-
tected, is to cut off a small piece of the
material, to unravel the threads and
then to examine them under strong
magnifying glass. The characteristics
Of flaxthreads are very marked. They
are in the form of cylindrical stalks,
divided at intervals by knots, in the
same way as bamboo or sugar cane
stalks. Cotton threads are long and
fattened like ribbon, waved, twisted in
spirals and granulated on the surface.
