The competition Of Japanese matches Is

All sorts of People Write TO the

The Presidents wife duplicates in
small degree the experience of the Presi-
dent with correspondents, Mrs. Mckinley
receives every day great many letters.
and one would think from them that we
we're a nation of beggars. One woman
writes asking Mrs. McKinleys influence
for the writer's husband, who Is an appli-
cant for office. Another says that she
needs money and she is sure the Presi-
dents wife can spare her a few dollars.
Another wants a photograph; another an
autograph but by far the greater num-
Der of the beggars want pieces of the
dress Mrs Mckinley wore at the inaugu-
ration ball Mrs. Mckinley is not tearing
up her dress for the benefit of souvenir
hunters. Nor is she distributing her pho
tographs or autographs among strangers.
Mrs. McKinley's mail is handled like that
OF the President. It goes first to the
white house clerks. They sort out the
personal letters from those which are
written by strangers, and the letters from
strangers they open and read. Formal ac-
knowledge ments Of these letters are sent.

Mckinley seldom sees any OF them. Per
sonai letters Mrs Mckinley opens and
reads. Her private correspondence she
carries on as she has always done; but
the white house clerks attend TO what
may be called her official mail.

THREE-cENF CAR FARES.
Indianapolis Railways Bow TO the
City Councils Edict.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 16.-For the
present at least the Citizens Stpeet Rail-
road Company has decided to give up its
night against the Scent fare law. A. L.
Mason, president of the company, says
that until the case is settled in the courts
three cents will be accepted as a fare.
The people of the city were infurlated
by the refusa. of the company to recognize
the law liking fares at cents. There were
many riotous scenes in some of the streets
down town to-day. The street railroad
company had repeated yesterdays verbal
instructions to conductors to pay no at
tention to the law fixing fares at SC and
mad posted in the barns a glazing notice
that sc fares should be collected. The
announcement of President Mason, it is
thought, was made just in time to avert
serious trouble.
The county grand jury was to-day call
ed together and instructed by Judge Me-
Crary to investigate violations of the law
by the railroad company and it's en-
ployes.

freedom of action is constrained by or
ders OF military commanders. and their
lives in peril in periods OF public dlsor-
der, when their total assistance from the
state is $3.50, or $3.50 per man. and the
combined national and State IS less than
$3.50 per man. Nor do the people seem
to appreciate the immense moral enect,
particularly in the more sparsely settled
communities. Of the military arm, which
costs the State as has been stated be-
fore in these reports. little more than
the pay OF a dozen policemen.
1T is therefore. respectfully suggested
to your EXcelency that you suggest 70
the General Assembly To order It's Com
mitfee on Militia and Police, through the
entire committee or a Subcommittee, TO
look more carefully into the needs of the
service with a view OF giving IL a larger
appropriation. Several plans have been
suggested i'm previous reports, but the
simples. would be TO make the appropria-
ton 1 per cent. instead of half Of / per
cent. CT the State revenue, excluding
schools. which would make the cpproI ria
ton about $4,000. The additional sum
could and should be used for an annual
camp Of instruction. which is more need
ed than anything else TO promote mill
tary education and discipline. and which
would have more effect in these and
other important particulars than year
of duty spent in the ordinary manner.
TO STOP THE CAMPS.
Camps have been established during
the past summer at Ocean View and
other places Of one or more companies
at the same time, and extending through
portions OF tho 81 MINER months. Upon
requisiuon the State tentagc and blank
cs were issued and other assistance rem
dered Personal observation suggests
the recommendation that these camps
should not be allowed. except under spe-
cial orders, which orders should direct
the strictest observance OF military dis
cipllne. If troops wish TO make excur-
sions under the name OF camps, the uni
forms and other property should not be
availed of TO give the quasi appearance
OF camps under the Virginia regulations.
THE suggestion OF last year is here
repeated that the batteries should be
armed with carbnes in case Of sudden
calls where their guns would not be
needed or would not be available for the
particular kind OF service required. II
Is also respectfully recommended that a

rate staff departments, such as quarter
