CAPTAIN LOWERING SCORED.
Secretary Al9er Declares the Brutal
Officers punishment Too Light.

Secretary Al2er Declares the Brutal
Officers Punishment TOO Light.
Washington, Dec. 7.--Secretary Al
ger yesterday made public the icprl-
mand administered to Captain Lover
ing by sentence of court martial. He
says:
1T is disappointing that An utf4nse SO
grave should have been visited with so
light a penalty. There is no question
but that Private Hammond deserved
punishment for his misconduct, but he
should have received it in a lawful way.
The military laws governing the army
are explicit They prescribe the duties
of officers and enlisted men, with the
penalties of their violation. Under them
both have rights and obligations. When
an officer, with the Intelligence and ex-
perlenCe with which Captain Lowering
Is credited, not only violates these laws,
but exhibits such a lack of humanity As
Is shown in this case he Should receive
a more severe sentence than mere
reprmand. Committing such acts de-
grades the officer more than the sol
der he Furnishes and shows untitness
for the care and command of men.
Under excitement men frequently do
things which in cooler moments they
recall with sorrow and regret hut this
case Is aggravated by the fact that
after weeks of deliberation this officer
cvincos no regret for his wrongful acts"

RECORD BREAKER AS A LOVER
Kept Him Moving to Prevent Mar
rying Too Often.

You're big, handsome, we'll off and
fascinating. Now tell me why you
never married till you were 3S, and
then henored me as the object of your
mature affections"
1t was Bunker's wife doing the talk
ing, and he is a man of truth so he
tried to put her off with an evasive an
swer. But no woman will dismiss such
a subject till it is exhausted.
Well" he answered reluctantly 1T
was this way. No man was ever so
susceptible to the tender passion as L.
My whole family was kept on the alert
to prevent my marrying before I was
Is. I simply fell head over heels in
love with every girl [ met and to meet
her more than three times within the
space of a week without proposing to
her was an impossibility. When the
work of looking after me at home be
came too arduous father hit upon an
other plan. He put me out on the road.
My territory covered the whole west
ern continent. Two consecutive days
were never permitted to pass without
my receiving a telegram to move on
and attend to something of pressing ne
cessity in some other town.
Il never suspected anything but that
I was doing an enormous business and
insisted at intervals on having my sal
ary raised. l would no sooner get on
friendly terms with lady than along
would come that notice to keep going

the endless chase insisted on becoming

Fags and Fag-Masters.

F'ag masters are often the fags best
friends, and even at the universities
afterwards keep a kindly eye upon
them Sometimes it happens that a
rag turns out great cricketer or oars
man, IN which case his old fag master
is as proud of him as of a Younger
brotner. Or, like as not, in after life
a country parson can look back upon
the time when he tagged the Bishop
OF his diocese. In a speech made in
1896 by Lord Rosebery, late Prime
Minister of England, there is an anus
ing reference to tagging: 1T is a long
time since you and T. Mr.. Chairman
(Mr. Aeland, Minister of Education)

but to-day the bulk of it goes to San

WORKING TOO HARD.
Santa Rosa Republican: 1t was the
privilege the other evening of the peo-
pie of this city and vicinity to listen to
very able address by a man not only
of State but of national reputation as
thinker, writer and a speaker He
came here to discuss questions that
should be of especial interest to edu-
Gators, and yet we did not see a school
teacher in the audience. Meeting a man
intimately connected with the schools
the following day, we inquired how this
could possibly occur. He replied that
he was not surprised at the absence of
the teachers from the lecture; that they
have too much to do and were doubt
less too tired to attend. We have every
reason to believe this statement. 1t
was made by a teacher who had the
appearance of trying to do too much
hard work. But is it fair TO either
teachers or pupils to have the school
work so planned as to wear out either
class? Cannot the local educational
system be simplified so as not to re-
quire the intense application of the
teacher during all waking hours? We
have an impression that too much time
at hard study is given to making text
books and not enough to the teaching
of those that have been prescribed. In
getting away from exclusive text book
study our teachers may have gone TO
the other extreme. In fact, we are
sure that this is just what they have
done.
Subjects may be taught topically with
the text book as a basis Very sue
cessful teaching is done in this way.
1t does not require so much labor by
the teacher and he handles his classes
better because he is not tagged

The Pigmies of Africa.

Four years ago DIR. Stuhlmann, one
of the most scientific of African ex-
plorers brought to Germany two dwarf
young women about seventeen and
twenty years old. They had been cap
tured by Arab slave traders in the
great forests northwest of Victoria Ny
anza. A man about twenty-five years
old and four feet six inches in hight,
who was captured with them, was in
DR.. Stuhlmanns care for several
months. but died on the coast just be-
fore he was to go to Europe. He was
SO very shy that he was never seen to
look a white man in the face and
though he would talk a little Ki-Sua-
hell, the language of the Zanzibar ma
tives, he was never heard to speak a
word OF his own language The girls
were taken back to Africa in a few
months, as it was feared they would
not survive a German winter In all
the time they were with DR.. Stuhlmann
he was able to get from them only
sixteen words of their language. Per
hapS this is not very surprising. It
was enough to make persons of a low
type of culture shy and suspicious to
be shut up for hours at a time with
inquisitive savants, who were continu-
ally looking at and questioning and
measuring them, turning them this
way and that, and photographing them !;
and though the little women We're well
cared for and much was done to amuse
them, they could not get over the idea
that the whites had some sinister pur-
pose. They feared they would be pois-
oned, and never touched any dish be-
fore their Italian servant had first
tasted it. They We're carried around
from one scientific society to another,
all over Germany and Belgium, and it
IS safe to say that in their private
opinion anthropology was a great bore.
and they We're very glad to get back
to Africa.-Harper'S Round Table.

Mr.. Hubbard says that the promises
and expressions Of candidates before
election are only wind-they mean
nothing and amount to nothing" So,
So The writer of that remarkable
statement means nothing then, and his
utterances amount to nothing-they are
only wind, for he too is a candidate
and as yet it is before election" Has
VIM. Land made any such assault up
on the honesty, manliness and integ-
rity of his opponents? Has any one
ever known him to engage in windy
talk? Has any man who ever lived in
or out Of Sacramento known VIM. Land
to say thing and prove false to it?
Is there any man with a spark of re-
spect for the common courtesies of life
who will dare to charge VIM. Land
with insincerity? Is there any one in
all this community, Mayor Hubbard
alone excepted, who has the effrontery
to charge that what he says, promises
and pledges is solid truth and full sin
cerity. but that what all who differ
with him promise, assert and pledge is

Competency in Office is what is
needed in Sacramento. The Republican
party has put forward competent men,
but not one more so than A L Frost,
it's nominee for City Treasurer. Mr..
Frost was tried by the Federal Gov
ernment in one of its most important
financial departments. and proved to
be one of the best Internal Revenue
officials the Government ever had. The
county tried him as County Assessor
and Sacramento never had a better. He
is now advanced to be City Treasurer.
He will be elected. His competency
is undeniable. His ability is broad.
Tried and found true, efficient, clean
and upright in all his service, he is
an ideal man for the position for which
the Republican party proposes him.
