Mr.. Cook states in his declaration,
through Attorneys H. NJ. Earle and D. w.

engaged as a teacher of music; that he
has always been a person of good name,
credit and reputation, and that he had,
until the time of the alleged slanderous

guilty of improper or immoral conduct of
any kind whatsoever. Yet, so ne declares,

spoke to divers persons OF hin certain false
and slanderous words. viz: He is moral
ly unfit. cannot support him for the po-
sition, and his moral CHARACTER is bad"

the plaintiff, have caused him great anxiety
of mind, have injured him in his good
name. reputation ana profe ssion, and have
hindered and prevented him from obtain
ing the said position.

MARINE BAND PRIVILEGE.

Attitude of the Navy Department Ms.
closed I'm Correspondence.
correspondence has passed recently be-
tween Mr.. Gompers, president of the Fed
Grafton of Labor, and the Secretary of the
Navy in regard to the controversy between
the local musicians union and the Marine
Band, which is particularly interesting for
the reason that 1t discloses officially for
the first time the policy of the Navy De-
partment on this much discussed subject.
Mr.. Gompers wrote the department. stat
ing that In his opinion Congress should I'M
doubfedly increase the pay Of the enlisted
musicians, as that would be fairer both to
the musicians in the service and to the
civilian musicians who are dependent upon
their musical labor for their livelihood
The department answered stating its
pleasure at hearing from Mr.. Gompers and
Its desire that he would at any time call
IN person and go over the whole matter;
power to do so, should double the rate of
compensation now paid to the musicians of
the Marine Band they could not be Got of
the present quality if they were prohibited
from earning something by playing outside.
And II their salaries were doubled, it was
stated, then the salaries Of all other musf-
clans In the naval service would also have
to be doubled. The letter of the depart
ment also set forth that 1t did not propose
thereafter to send the Marine Band as a
band to big cities where it would be
brought into competition with musical
unions, unless for exceptional reasons; but
band should not go into localities where no
similar first-class organizations exist; and
that the band would have to be allowed to
play In washington to the same extent and
under the same limitations and regulations
as had hitherto been customary.
These regulations provide that as band
they can play only upon occasions of a
strictly national character. or for the pur-
pose of extending international courtesy,
or upon extraordinary occasions for the
benefit of institutions that have received
appropriations from Congress. Individually
they will be allowed to play at different
places exactly as they have hitherto done.
Forty-one of the members of the band be-
long to the Musical Union Of this city

Proposed Reunion of Both Armies mt
the Omaha Exposition.

From the Omaha World Herald
Next year the surviving soldiers of the
Mexican war will celebrate a memorable
anniversary Fifty years ago the two re-
publics were at war. Now they are at
peace Americans are welcomed every
where in Mexico. They are engaged in the
pursuits of peace all over that republic
They are associated with the Mexicans in
business enterprises, and each cherishes
for the other mutual esteem. The old
Santa Fe trail has been replaced by the
railroads The people on the borders fra
ternize. The two governments have the
most cordial relations. The president of
Mexico is one Of the most illustrious
statesmen. Peace. education, energy. and
enterprise under his wise administration

fcundest admiration. A ruler so dignified
and brave has been a blessing to that
country.
Fifty years ago the two nations were
siaring at each other. War reared its
horned crest and Mexico was overwhelmed
Now America gives her right hand to her
sister and rejoices at her prosperity. Then
the soldiers of Mexico and the United

puitepec stirred the blood of the American
soldier and left strain of sadness in the
heart OF the Mexican Now the Mexican
officers have this year decorated the graves
OF the American soldiers who lie buried
In The cemetery in the City OF Mexico
and the Americans. headed by the Ameri-
can minister. have placed fragrant and
BEAUTIFUL flowers on the monument at Cha
pultepec dedicated to the memory of the
brave Mexicans who died there in defense
Of their country 1t Is a graceful tribute to
the memory OF the men who fought on
either side And the expression comes
from Mexico that the surviving soldiers of
the United States and Mexico meet once
again In fraternal union at the semi-cen-
tennial OF the war. II would be a tender
and fitting tribute to the veterans for the
two governments to take suitable and
grateful recognition of the old soldiers who
stood up for their country at home and on
foreign battlefields, where they won i'm
perishable renown through their bravery
and patriotism.

HE WILL WIN HIS WAY,
A Coal Clerk Who Delivered q Loa
After Business Hours.

From the Boston Transcript.
A good story is circulated among the coal
trade relative to the enterprise of an en-
ploye in the uptown office of one of the
principal coal dealers in the city. The hero
Of this story has charge of the Office and
was ready to close up the establishment a
few nights ago, when the telephone bell
rang. and one Of the firms largest custom
ers announced that a load Of coal must be
delivered at his office that night. The en-
ploye telephoned to the wharf and discov-
cred that no one was there except the night
Waterman. Nothing daunted, however, the
man went to the wharf and told the watch
man that he must get out one of the teams
and help load it, and the clerk himself
agreed to deliver the coal.
The Waterman refused to assist, unless
some member Of the firm authorized this
action, SO the telephone was again brought
in use, and one of the firm, living in a SUBJ
urban city, was called up and told of the
situation. Naturally he approved of his
clerks eagerness to please good Gus
toner, and told him to go ahead. Then
came the amusing part of this story. the
clerk, with the assistance of the watch
man, harnessed a horse into one of the
smaller sized wagons, and after loading 1t
the hero climbed up on the seat and began
the perilous. to him, journey. 1t was neces-
sary to drive up Washington street in or
der to deliver the coal at the proper place.
and the feelings of the driver, who thought
he might meet some of his friends at any
time, can be imagined better than de-
scribed. At this time of the day, of course
the streets were full of electric cars and
pedestrians, and the driver of the coal
team was kept in a state of terror most of
the time for fear he would meet with some
kind of an accident.
When the place was reached the team
was backed up to the sidewalk in the most
approved style, and, after considerable hard
work, the wagon was tipped up and its con-
tents sent rushing into the cellar of the
building. After this the young man calmly
climbed into the wagon and drove back
through the crowded streets to the yards
where he stabbed the horse and went home
feeling that he had done a good piece of
work.
While the friends of this young man are
joking him about this affair. there is not
one Of them but admires the spirit shown
in trying to please a good customer no
matter what the cost.
