TO USE russell LEATHER.
General Miles Recommends it for the
ARMY

New York, May 19.-General Miles,
shortly before starting for Europe on
his tour of military investigation. sub
mitted to the secretary of war a rec
ommendatiOn which viii interest all Of
fcers of the army. General Miles adj
vised that the leather of army brides,
saddles, harness, etc, should be changed
from the present color, black, to rus
set.
The proposition is a somewhat radical
one, as the American army has never
used other than black leather for horse
equipments. The length of time that
customs of the army have been OBJ
served is not with General Miles, a con-
elusive reason why a change should not
be made. His rule is that, if that
which is in use is not the best obtain
able, the fact that it has been the regu-
lation for many years should not stand
in the way of the adoption of some
thing new. To conservative officers,
of which the army is largely composed
General Miles recommendations will at
first cause surprise, but 1t is pro ba bic
that upon reflection, they will agree
with him that russet leather is better
for military purposes than black. Gen
eral Miles says. among other things,
that all the armies of Europe now en-
ploy russell leather for horse equip
ment, having abolished black leather
some time ago. The general regards
russell leather as cheaper, cleaner,
easier to keep in good condition and
fully as durable as black leather in
service.
It can be cleaned with soap and
water. without using a specially pre-
pared dressing, which black leather re-
ouires. Washing with water may tend
to harden the leather, he says, but TINS
objection can be overcome by occasion
ally rubbing the equipments with oil.
Special attention is called by General
Miles in his recommendation to the fact
that, with black horse equipments, the
use Of some dressing to give them a pol
tshed appearance is Indispensable.
When the equipments get wet. as they
must, of course, do in service, the uni
forms of officers and men are soiled
from contact with the leather. Many
and emphatic have been the complaints
of officers from this score.

FREE SPEECH IN GERMANY.
Debate on the Bill Before the Reich
stag to Curb Tt.

Berlin, May 19.-After a protracted
debate in the lower house of the Prus-
sian diet the bill amending the law of
public meeting and association Was re-
ferred to a committee of 80 members.
During the debate the Radical, So
cialist anti-Semite and some of the
Centrist speakers strongly criticised
the policy of the government on the
right of public association DR.. Won
Boetticher, the imperial secretary of
state for the interior, declared that the
government did not desire to enter into
a war with the reichstag. He added
that the sole object of the bill in the
lower house of the Prussian diet was to
supplement the present inadequate
means of preventing abuse of the right
of association. No member of the
Prussian government DR.. Won Boett-
icher continued. would dream of a crop
de etat. Moreover, the imperial admin
istration, the federal government and
the Prussian government were in entire
agreement on the matter.

right, % years of age, a lawyer by pro-
fessfon and a resident of Chicago. it is
his home, is locked up here with eight
pretenses hanging over him and more
to follow. Gathright was known var
iOuSly as U. c. Howard, ]. D. Williams,
Harvey Bolton and by other aliases.
His victims so far as discovered are
Representatives Sayers. Burke and
Cooper of Texas; Adamson, Tate and
Livingston of Georgia; Henry, of Mis-
sissippi, and Berry, of Kentucky.
The method of dealing with the states
men was to go to a member, repre-
sent himself as a constituent and state
that he was here settling up his moth
er's estate. Being short of cash tenn
porarily he would like a loan of say
$40. Gathright referred to prominent
people in the district of each member
claimed relationship with them. He
rarely failed to talk SO bill out of the
purse of his distinguished victim.
While he was in the guard room at
the capitol several of his congressional
victims came down to see and identify
him. They laughed and twitted each
other about the clever manner in which
they had been taken in, and seemed to
regard the matter as a huge joke
When asked by Detective Sinnott why
he reSOrted to such schemes he replied:

AGAINST BLOODHOUNDs.
Jury Refuses to Convict a Man Who
Was Traced by Dogs.

Kentland Ind, May 19.-The first case
ever tried in this court where the testi-
mony of bloodhounds was used has been
brought to an end by the jury returning
a verdict acquitting the defendant. The
home of Geo. McCarn of Goodland was
entered last Friday night and $40 stolen.
The only clew the thief left was his foot
print on the freshly painted floor. The
Chalmers bloodhounds were put on the
scent Saturday evening and never left it
until they had trailed man to patch
of underground three miles from Rey>
nolds, distance of twenty-seven miles
from Goodland.
In the circuit court the defendant prov
ed a clear alibi by the testimony of four
farmers, who swore they had given the
prisoner meals, including supper at $50
p. m, on the day of the theft, four miles
north of Reynolds or a distance of thir-
ty-four miles from the scene of the rob-
berry. The owner of the hounds declares
there can be no mistake but the jury
acquitted the man without leaving the
box.

SUGAR BEET SEED GONE.
The Whole Country Will be Expert
menting This Summer.

Washington. May 19.-The beet sugar
seed which the agricultural department
has been distributing is practically ex-
hausted, about 10000 pounds having
been sent out to farmers in about four
ffths of the states
The seed has been distributed in
packages of from an ounce to half a
pound, purely for experimental pur-
poses.
The beets grown from the seeds will
be analysed and the saccharine matter
determined to ascertain where the
beets can be profitably grown for the
production Of sugar These expert
ments, it is believed, will be Of i'm
mense value as the beet undoubtedly
can be produced with profit in many
of the states. Wherever it can be so
produced it will give the farmer a new
crop All the surplus vegetable seed
in the possession of the agricultural
department is being distributed through
congressman or government agency to
the people in the flooded districts along
the Mississippi for planting as soon as
the waters SubSide.

SISTERS MARRY COUSINS.
Double Matrimonial Alliance of Pecul-
lar Nature in New York.

New York, May 19.-Matrimony without
a change of name is a luxury given to
few young women to enjoy, but the
Schorsch family is about to enter into a
double alliance of this nature. This no
tice, which appeared in this mornings
papers among the notices of engag ements
is the first intimation the public had of
the matrimonial intentions of the Schors-
ches:

GOVERNOR LEEDY AND Law.

AS an example of the you're another
style of settling a matter, the speech
delivered by Gov. John W. Leedy at
the temperance mass meeting at Ham
ilton hall last night was a success. AS
an aid to better enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law or any other law, it must
be regarded as a failure.
The suggestion made or implied that
an evasion or disregard of the prohib-
itory law is justified by the evasion or
disregard of other laws, is not new.
It has been heard before and has be-
come quite familiar to the people
within the past Is years.
Gov. Leedy nor his appointees an po-
lice boards cannot be relieved from re-
sponsibility of this matter by attacks
on Mr.. Gleed, Mr. Williams or the Will
kersOns. The people are not 50 much
concerned over what gentlemen who
occupy the position of private citizens
do, as they are about what persons oc-
cupying official positions in connection
with the state government leave IN
done. If they have held no mass meet
ings for the purpose of having Wiker-
son put in jail, it is probably because
they have not considered the matter of
sufficient Importance to warrant it.
They did consider the opening Of a
Se~AOO4A VI 0dA4AOASAAL 4ItARO4 Ie1AlIG ~ w d
rant a mass meeting, and the meeting
was called. With the results of that
meeting the public is familiar. The sa-
looms were closed.
It is difficult to find a man who will
declare that he is opposed to the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law, but
scores of men can be found who are
VIGOROUSLY opposed to the law itself.
Gov. Leedy can hardly justify himself
for choosing police commissioners from
the ranks of this class.
Much Importance is attached by the
governor to the passage of the nuisance
ordinance, but the city got along very
we'll and kept out the saloon without
such aid until he became governor The
governor is begging the question.

M'KINLEY AS ARBITER.
Asked to Settle a Local Town Dis
pute-Causes Disappointment.

Wilmington, May 19.-The people of
Hartley a little settlement near Clay
ton, have a peculiar impression that
President Mckinley goes around the
country to settle political disputes. Last
Monday the Republicans held a meeting
to protest against the appointment of
John Poor as postmaster of Hartley.
They appointed committee of one to
go to Washington to notify the presi-
dent and have him come to Hartley to
settle the dispute
The people expected the committee
back on Thursday and had a brass
band waiting at the railroad station to
escort it and the president through the
town. The committee, however, did not
return until last night. They tele-
graphed, saying that they would arrive
on the o'clock train, and again the
band and procession were in waiting to
meet the president. The arrival of the
committee without the president caused
another meeting last night, at which
resolution was passed criticizing Pres
ident Mckinley for his nom Republican
and patriotic course in refusing to in

two harness thieves arrested by ex-Sher-
if John Wilkerson over a week ago after
a chase of three miles out the Grantville
road, were yesterday taken to Troy, Kan

charge of stealing harness. The men are
now known to be all round thieves, with
a number of aliases, and have been oper-
ating in eastern Kansas off and on for
the past two or three years. The work
for which they were taken back to Doni-
phan county yesterday was done some
months ago. The charge against the men
in this county will stand, and as soon as
the officers get an opportunity they will
be brought back here and prosecuted.

Edison at his home in Llewellyn park,
West Orange, to a Journal reporter last
night. For some time past I ceased

ture propelling power, in my mind. AS

BULLS TOO POOR.
Mexican National Sport Stopped by
the Government.

City of Mexico, May 19.-The city
government forbade the bull fight in
tended to be given Sunday. The au-
thorittes claim the bulls provided for
the fights are so poor they do not jus
tify the price of admission asked by the
management. Enrique Meriro, a Span
ish buIl-fghter, has visited the famous
bull breeding farms of AtencO and
other places, and his judgment is that
none of the bulls shown him was
worthy of the ring.
The tameness of the animals is get
ting to be a serious matter, and 1t be-
gins to look as if bull fighting would
stop for lack of animals to fight. The
government is firm and no perform
