Army Marriages.

General Miles, as commanding gen
eral of the army, has just been called
upon t o decide on a somewhat delicate
question in which military discipline
was mixed up with moral and senti-
mental considerations. As is we'll
known, the army authorities regard q
soldier married as a soldier marred, es-
pecially if the soldier is a private, and
commanding officers have often gone SC
far as + refuse permission to wed to
the men under them. Recently a chap
lain out at Fort Assiniboin, in Mon
tana, Joined in the bonds Of matrimony
a private stationed there and a young
woman who was working as a domestic
servant for the family of n Of the Off
GERS. No permission for the wedding
had been granted, and none had been
asked. Next day the post commander
reprimanded the chaplain severely, de-
claring that his act was unauthorized
and improper. The chaplain resented
this and appealed to the ~adjutant gen.
eral, from whom the case went to Cen
eral Miles for final action. In rendering
his decision General Miles says: "The
course of the chaplain appears to be
fully warranted by law and regulations.
While the objection to soldiers marry
ing is we'll recognized it is not prohib-
tied by law or regulations, and the mil
itary authorities are not, therefore war
ranted in intervening" :

"In proportion as communities be-
come more settled and populous, Phil
ip," said Mr.. Gyatebar, 1.-THE gseat OPP
portnnitias that exist in them fly higher
and higher and become more and more
difficult to capture. For this reason men
often seek new fields, where the shoot
ing il easier. But in this, Philip, as in
everything else, one must exercise judg-
ment. He must find a field in which
game actually does exist, and one that
is likely to produce such opportunities
as he is able to turn t. account. No
snow shoveler, for example, should 10
cate in the tropics. Nor could the best
boat builder that ever lived reasonably
expect TO succeed in a desert, even
though it were hundreds Of miles in ex-
tent and he had a monopoly Of the bust
nees.
what / am ~endeavoring to point ouS
to you, Philip, is that not all new fields
are sure to yield a profit. AS a matter
of fact, many are quite barren. A man
must find the right place, and the dis
cernment that would enable him to do
this would almost certainly qualify him
to stay right here and fight with the
giants.
and that is just what / should adj
wise you to do. Philip. Here is where
the big game is to be found. But, as /
have before in substance remarked, you
must be prepared to meet it. Don't fool
away your time waiting at a bear lick
with a gun loaded for snipe, Philip" -

ARCHITECTURAL ART.
Nineteenth Century Experiments and Re-
Uyals which: Have Hcrn Truiriess.

Nineteenth Century Experiments and Re-
ytye.s which: Have Seen Fruiriess.
The best that can be said Of the archi-
lecture of the nineteenth century is that
1t has bees: az architecture of exception
ally learnel ingenious and accomplish
ed individualities. 1t has been an art Of
experiments which have failed and of
revivals which have been fruitless.
These Municipalities, with their on
sciousness highly educated and trained,
have been embarrassed rather than aided
by their knowledge of the great achieve
ments " the past. 1t does not seem to
have occurred to them TO appeal to the
sympathies of the people by uttering
their inspirations in the vulgar tongue,
but they have labored with immense
talent and ingenuity TO interpret and
apply dead languages. Their efforts
have been reminiscent, exclusive and
experimental. The architects have an
alyzed, theorized, disputed and argued.
They have formed schools conserving
classic or romantic traditions--schools
which have fallen apart because prog
ress has been found to be impossible on
merely archaeological lines.
Many of the individualities developed
under these conditions have been bril-
liant and powerful and have rad a great
following Of lesser men. As the century
has advanced certain Of these individu-
alities have been inspired by nobler and
loftier motives. The architecture of the
century, because it has been nourished
in the same soil that produced the cleo
trio telegraph, the telephone and all the
other triumphs Of industrial art, has
exhibited a certain sporadic vitality, has
occasionally thrown out mighty branches
full of the possibilities of a great frui-
ton, but because it has not enjoyed the
advantage of concentrated effort it has
not Powered as il Powered in the thir-
teenth and sixteenth centuries, still less
as it lowered i'll the ages of Pericles and
Augustus. Henry Van Brunt in At

MINERS MAY STRIKE.
Ten Thousand Men Refuse to Accept
n Reduction in Wages.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 1.-The differ
ences between the miners in the employ of
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com
pany and the ompan reached a critical
stage to-day and it cannot be denied that a
general strike is threatened. Another con-
vention of the representatives of all the
mining camps was held here this afternoon
and refused to accept the reduction of 1212
per cent. in wages from the existing con-
tract scale recently proposed by the com
pany, though one camp, the Pratt miners,
voted for a reduction of 6 per cent. The
subcontracting system, whereby the com
pany let's out mine work to subcontractors
who employ labor at less than the agreed
scale, was condemned as a violation by the
company of the agreement, but the latter
and the miners and the miners board Of ar
bitration was instructed to call on the COM
pany officials and arrange for an arbi-
tration conference to ADJUST their grfev-
ance. When the members of the board
called the officials replied they had moth
ing to arbitrate, whereupon d call was is
sued for a state convention for next
Wednesday, when, it is said, decided action
will be taken, which is thought to mean a
general strike until a settlement is reached
in some way. Such a strike would affect
more than ten thousand men.

Purdue VS.. Industrial Training School

The baseball game between Purdue and
the Training School, at the League Park,
yesterday afternoon, was played under diff
f~iculties. The well-kept ground, which has
been Manager Watkins's pride, was a sea
of soft, black mud, which chung to the
players feet like Virginia clay and rem
dered running a very difficult operation.
Added to this, a cold wind from the north
west brought appropriate thoughts of foot
ball and kept the spectators on their feet
and exercising to keep warm.
The crowd was small, mostly friends of
the two schools represented, but the lack
of numbers was made up in enthusiasm,
college and school yelIs predominating. The
game was holly contested and a surprise to
some who thought the Training School not
in the college class. A ten-inning game
was played, with a score of 3 to 2 in FAVOR
of the Training School.
Frank and Oscar Quiesser, of the winning
team, did especially good work as d battery,
coming almost up to the standard of league
play. The fielding of Parker and Bronson
fly to left on the dead run, and Bronson
covering much more of the slippery ground
than his short legs would warrant. The in
field work of Purdue was much better than
to the pitcher being excellent, out Hayes,
though a good fielding pitcher, was hardly
the equal of Quiesser and got m
for some very good gains. The Training
School scored one in the second inning.

A POLICY HOLDERS SUIT
ACTION TO TEST THE STATE TAN
BOARDS RECENT RULING.
Viola tion of Constitution to Assess
Insurance POIicies-FinaI De-
cision Expected by June.

A suit to enjoin the assessment of paid-up
life insurance policies as the personal prop
erty of holders, and policies nonforfeitable
and partly paid up, was filed in the Marion
Circuit Court yesterday. The defendants
named are the State Board of Tax Commits
sioners, Harry B. Smith, auditor of Marion
county; Joseph E. Boswell, county ASSESSOR;
Eugene Saulcy, assessor of Center town.
ship, and the other township assessors of
Marion county.
In behalf of themselves and many other
policy holders, John Fl. Holiday, James Q.
Barcus and Levi Sohl appear as plaintiffs.
Marian Z. Sohl, named as the beneficiary
of Levi Sohl. also appears as a plaintiff.
The plaintiffs, after setting up the condi-
tions of policies held by them in the New
York Life Insurance Company, direct at
tention to Items Z and 8 in the tax assess
ment lists to be used at the order of the
state tax board in the various townships of
the State. These items read:
"SeVen-Number of paid-up life insurance
policies and their value -"
"Eight-Number of nOnforfeitable paid-up
life insurance policies and their value -
Tn plaintiffs allege that these policies
are not personal property within the mean
ing of the Constitution of the State. and it
is averred that the State Board of Tax
Commissioners has threatened TO instruct
assessors to apply the penalties to holders
of policies where they refuse to make re-
turns. IneSe threatened acts, it is asserted.
are in violation of Article A, Section /, of the
Constitution of Indiana, vesting the legisla-
tive authority of the State in the General
and also in violation of Article
10, Section l. which provides that the Cen
eral Assembly shall require a uniform and
equal rate of assessment and a Just valua-
ton for taxation of all property, excepting
therefrom certain property not taxable.
The State Board of Tax Commissioners,
1t is charged, has assumed to make laws
governing life insurance policies. Section
81 of an act approved March 6, 1891, is cited.
This provides for the method of specific
taxation of the interests which these plain
tifs have in insurance policies. This stat
ute, it Is averred, is yet In force. There
fore the order of the tax board is held TO
be in violation of Section L, Article 81, of
the state Constitution, because it seeks to
tax plaintiffs twice on their life insurance
policies. Article l., Section 10. of the Con-
stitution of the United States, it is averred.
prohibits States from passing laws in vio-
lation of obligation of contracts.
The suit was filed by attorneys Smith &
korbley. Albert j. Beveridge and John A.
Finch. The attorneys say they expect to
get the case before the Supreme Court of
the State by June l.
