PROUD OF THE ARMY.
Assistant Secretary of War Meikl
John Talks nj Hi ri Dnsfs

Assistant Secretary of War Meikle-
john Talks of His Trips to Posts.
George D. Meiklejohn, assistant sec.
rotary of war, has just returned from a
tour of inspection of western military
posts, extending to- the Pacific coast,
and embracing some 20 states and ter
ritories.
Most excellent conditions were found
to prevail at all army posts visited,
with one exception, and that has been
abandoned since his inspection. He
was enthusiastic in praise of the Off
GERS and men, and doubts if their equals
exist in any foreign army. He says the
superb discipline and military spirit
everywhere conspicuously reflect great
credit upon Gen. Miles, who, as COM
manding general of the army, is re-
sponsible for it's military control.
Mr.. Meiklejohn made thorough In
spection of the high-power guns and
mortar batteries at the preside of San
Francisco. He is strongly impressed
with the wisdom of the recommends
ton of the secretary of war in his an
nual report for an additional force of
artillerymen to care for and handle the
guns belonging to our Notifications
and seacoast defenses.

New Use for ELECTRICITY.

1t is proposed to employ the electrical
deposition of metallic substances in the
formation of frames used to mount Sec
tions of prismatic glass, so as to unite
them to form large sheets for windows.
The sections are mounted loosely in
frames of thin ribbon or wire, forming
the "cathode," and near them, acting
as the "anode," is a similar framework
of the metal, of which the electro-de-
posted frame is to be formed The
metal is deposited along the wires, be-
tween them and the glass, until a COM
plete grid of frame is formed, which
holds the portions of glass firmly to-
gether in one piece.

BEAR HUNT AT GRAND RAPIDS.
Escaped Animal Is Killed to Save a
Mans Life.

Escaped Animal Is Killed to Save a
Mans Life.
Jack, the favorite member Of the
John Ball park bear family, is dead
at Grand Rapids, Mich. 1t was either
his life or that of Chris Wilmerink, one
of the park men, and the choice was
quickly and effectively made. Jack had,
escaped from the park and was killed
while an attempt was being made to
induce him to return to his quarters.
Bruin was discovered by the big party
organized to hunt for him about half
mile from the park. Efforts were
made to coax Jack back to the park,
and he was finally started in the right
direction, the crowd following at re-
spectful distance
But Jack apparently had no inten-
ton of returning to imprisonment. He
had gone only a short distance when
he suddenly turned and made back di-
rectly for his pursuers. Wilmerink was
closest to him and the others of the
party were spread out to cover his re-
treat. Jack started toward the park
men on all fours on run. Wilmerink
waved his gun and arms wildly as he
retreated backward, yelling: go back,
Jack. Go back, Jack" But Jack had
his mind made up and had no intention
of going back. When the bear was
within few feet of him Wilmerink
struck his foot against stubble and
fell fiat on his back.
Greenlcy, Woodwork and Watson
covered the brute with their Winches-
tiers ready to shoot. On came Jack with
a rush for the PROSTATE man. AS he
approached Wilmerink struck the bear
a smart blow on the snout with his
gun. 1t stopped him for moment,
but it only tended to increase his ug,i-
ness. Before Wilmerink was able to
regain his feet Jack made another rush
for him. 1t was his last. Three sharp
reports rang out and as many bullets
pierced the bears body. Two balls en-
tered the fore shoulder and the third
found Judgment in the neck Jack
tumbled over dead

Board, on Proposed Exposition.
Secretary F. D. Coburn of the Kansas
state board of agriculture is enthusiasts
tic in his support of the plan to hold a
big international exposition devoted to
corn products and their many uses, to-
gether with the cooking and dairy
school at Chicago in $780,
In letter just made public the secre-
tary says he can conceive of no more
feasible way to properly exploit before
the world every aspectof Americas and
Kansas foremost cultivated plant than

He suggests that the United States
department of agriculture take up the
work and back it with 100000 Of the
appropriation $50 largely wasted in the
gratuitous distribution annually OF GO
mail car loads of lettuce, cabbage, to-
mato and like seeds. It can easily be
made practicable"
He closes his letter by saying: by
all means, let us have a worlds corn and

and especially with the corn cooking

MONASTERY FOR WAsh.N.,1...
Magnificent Building to Be Erected

Magnificent Building to Be Erected
Near the Catholic University.
Plans for the Franciscan monastery
to be built on the tract of land near
the Catholic university at Washington,
which was purchased last May, have
been prepared in Italy, and the actual
work of construction will shortly begin.
At the time of the purchase of the site
it was denied that it was intended for
this purpose, but later developments
assure the fact thatit will be built. The
land was ostensibly bought for Scott
Lord, of IS Broadway, New York, by
John B. Larner, of Washington. Both
Mr.. Lord and Mr.. Larner denied any
knowledge of the real purpose of buy
ing the land at the time, but it is now
admitted at the papal legation that
it will be used for monastery. The
building will be a most magnificent edi-
flee, and in placing it so close to- the
Catholic university it is proposed that
those studying there shall have the OBJ
ject lesson of the deep Franciscan
piety before them.
The Franciscans are the most power
full of the five canonical orders of the
Catholic church. The pope is deter
mined to make Washington the head
quarters of the church in this country,
and it is probably with this end in
view and to be fully posted regarding
the affairs of the university that he
has selected the site. The Franciscans
have exceedingly, strict rules and have
much influence in church matters The
action of the Italian government in re-
Gently closing several Franciscan
monasteries is said to have made the
new move most advisable. It is said
that the Augustinians and Dominicans
will also locate in or near Washington
within a short time

STUDY OF THE BIBLE.

DR.. Moulton n Strong Advocate of the
New Version.
AS part of the national discussion re-
garding the use of the revised version of
the Bible, Prof. Hiser, of Earlham col
lege, indianapolis, Ind, sent letters to
prominent theologians throughout the
country and Canada concerning it's use
in Sunday schools, and he has received
replies from many of the most prom
inent Bible thinkers.
Among those sanctioning it's use is
DR.. Richard G. Moulton, of Chicago
university. DR.. Moulton asserts that
the study Of the literature of the Bible
is impossible without the new version,
saying:
'While the old has all the separate
beauty of verse and line that the new
version has, yet in the new there is a
continuity of thought that makes it
ten times more beautiful and sublime
ly poetical than the old, in that it shows
literary purpose and end achievement
upon the part of the writer"

Miss MacTavish Carries q Present to
Italy from Cardinal Gibbons.
Miss Virginia MacTavish, descend
ant of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, has
sailed from New York en- route to
Rome, where she and her mother spend
their winter. Miss MacTavish will be
the bearer of gift from Cardinal Glib
bons to Queen Marguerite of Italy, con-
sisting of his three books entitled
"Christian Heritage," can Ambassa-
dor of Christ" and Faith Of Our Fa-
TIERS" The works are bound in the
finest red morocco and inclosed in an
elegant casing of cardinal color with
gold clasps.
When Miss MacTavish came from
Rome in September to visit her friends
in Baltimore she brought portrait of
Margherita, the gift of the queen to
Cardinal Gibbons. Miss MacTavish en-
joys the fellowship of both the queen
and the cardinal, and through her they
thus exchange tokens of their esteem
and admiration for each other. Miss
MacTavish is the leader of American
society in Rome, friend of the pope,
and is always a welcome guest at the
vatican. About Christmas she pro-
poses to give splendid American din
ner in Rome, the oysters, terrapin and
game for which will be the choicest the
Chesapeake bay affords, and will be
shipped from Baltimore.

SHIPS HIS HORSES AWAY.
Fleischmann, of New Jersey, Sends
Breeding Stud to Austria.
Will Have Horses Ready Next Year
for Entry in the Many Rich
But Strictly European
Stakes.

Among the more than 500 horses,
from workers to thoroughbreds, which
left the port of New York recently for
Europe, there was one shipment which
in many of it's features was the most
notable that has gone from this coun-
try, says the Herald. Briefly, twas the
removal of Charles Fleischman's breed
ing stud from New Jersey to Austria.
All told, there were 80 head, exclusive
of the foals at foot, which went with
the dams, most of the stock being

band of youngsters for entry in the
many rich but strictly European
stakes.
Among those shipped on the Patria

Lucia, by Jay Gould. The latter is one
of the best bred and best individuals
that the foreigners have yet secured.
NJ. H. A. Fleischmann, who has gone
over in charge of the horses, also
shipped on his own account the nine
year-old stallion Anteolo, by Antevolo-
Mabel, by The Moor; Rosebud, b. m, 8,

BELIEVE 1T WAS AN AIR SHIP.

Minnesota Citizens Report Seeing n
Successful Aerial Navigator.
Stories of the wonderful flights of
airships have been revived, with scores
of reputable Minnesota residents as
sponsors Between five and eight
o'clock in the morning an object high
in the air and travelling north was seen
in the vicinity of Duluth, and the unani-
nous opinion was that it was success
full aerial navigator.
So far as known, the balloon or air.
ship was first seen by Engineer Hussey,
of the Great Northern night express,
running from St. Paul to Duluth. He
says that about five o'clock the object
passed over the train, going almost due
north.
j. S. Campbell, agent at Motley, Mimi,
for the Northern Pacific, and Night
Operator Harris and many of the viii
layers saw the airship and say it was
in sight for more than an hour.
Night Operator Mason, at Deerwood,
also saw the aerial navigator.
Operator Campbell says the airship
was bal!oon-shaped and looked about
as large as the full moon. A single
green light was visible.

BIBLE AS TEXTBOOK.
Chinese Government Makes Use of 1t
in Examining Students.

CnlneSc government Makes Use or
in Examining Students.
The American Bible society has re-
ceived from its correspondent in Shang-
hal an account of the recent examina-
lions for the master degree among stu
dents. In all former years the questions
asked of the candidates have been on
literary lines and have been limited to
the litera ture of China. The proficiency
of the candidates is said to have been
shown by their familiarity with the
classics and the books of Chinese au-
thors since the days of Confucius
This year the imperial edict directed
that the questions to be asked and an
swered should relate to matters of i'm
portance at the present time. The fol-
lowing surprising question was read by
10000 students in one of the examina-
ton halls:
"What do you know Of the repeopling
of the earth by Noah and his family
after the flood"
The Picking examination board which
framed this question had been reading
the New Testament. which is now rec
commended as textbook and for which
there is an increased demand. The
statesmen of China, her scholars and
her students are said to be studying
the Bible because it is the classic of
Christian, countries. They have become
acquainted with western religion, west
ern science, western political economy.
western philosophy, and they read the
Pible among the other books current in
western countries.

Their Aid Solicited in Saving Birds
Killed for Their Plumage.
That the Audubon society has much
hard fighting to do before it accom-
plishes its purpose was shown the other
day, when many of the women who
came to the large public meeting in the
Museum of Natural History, New York,
wore hats adorned with the very feath-
ers against whose use the society is
crying out. And even while the life
like pictures of the white heron were
thrown ON the screen and Frank NJ.
Chapman was feeingly telling his hear
ers of the cruel slaughter which is
practiced to get them, in almost any
part of the house you could see before
your eyes the quivering, feathery
plumes of aigrettes between you and
the white expanse of the calcium light.
Mr.. Chapman gave many statistics to
prove the value of the birds. from an
economical and sanitary point of view,
and added:
"Unless the demand for these al
grettes' plumes and the paradise birds
feathers dies out the birds will soon
be exterminated. The question rests
solely with women" and here the wom-
en- who wore no feathers or merely
harmless quilts gazed scornfully at
their frivolous sisters.
State Superintendent Skinner is
anxious to cooperate with the Audubon
society in bringing about study of
birds in the schools in connection with
the Arbor day celebration.

number round out 100 years.

RUSSIA'S NEW FAST BOATS.
Three Torpedo Vessels Now Being
Built for the Gar.

Built for the Gar.
The navy department has received in
formation to the effect that Russia is
about to become possessed of three new
torpedo boats, that will be easily the
fastest war craft in the world, being
capable of the enormous speed Of 80
knots per hour, with every probability
of making 40 knots when pressed.
This great speed demands greater
power than can be supplied by ordinary
engines, so the boats will be driven by
steam turbines, having four separate
shafts, with three-screw propellers on
each shaft. The contract for the three
boats has already been placed with an
English firm.
The high speed requirement is based
upon the wonderful performance Of the
little Turbina, which has run at the
rate of nearly 40 miles per hour.
