Capt. Lowering Severely Censured.


In the courtmartial of Capt. Lover
ing at Fort Sheridan, Chicago, Col.
Hunter, acting as Judge advocate. Sc
verely arraigned Lowering for his
treatment of private Chas. Hammond.
In summing up the case Col. Hunter
said the testimony showed beyond a
doubt that the officer kicked Ham,
mond, prodded him with his sword and
cursed him. The incident did not
justify Lowering in making a mistake
of Judgment or losing his temper. Ii
the act be established that an officer
may with impunity order any punish
meut he pleases to be inflicted upon
the soldier 1t reduces enlisted men to
the condition of slavery.
"That Hammond should have been
produced in court I do not deny, but
that his disobedience and stubbornness
justified his being roped and dragged
there. and in his PROSTATE helpless
condition kicked and prodded with the
sword, I do most emphatically deny,
for the officer had about him in the
guard soldiers who were able to lift
Hammond and carry him to court"

A Famous suddhls. Shrine.

The "Shway Dagohn," at Rangoon,
or the Temple of the Golden Supreme,
is the highest gilded pagoda in the
world, and one Of the most ancient and
venerated shrines in existence. It's
proportions and height are magnifi-
cent; wide at the base, 1t shoots up
$40 feet, tapering gradually away until
crowned by its airy golden Htee, or
umbrella-shaped roof. This structure
is studded profusely with precious
stones, and hung around with scores
of tiny gold and pewelled bells, which,
when swung lightly by the breeze give
out the tenderest and most mystic of
melodies. The Htee was the gift of
King Mindohn-Min, and 1t is said to
have cost the enormous sum of 6 $4,000.
The Great Pagoda Is believed by the
faithful to have been erected in 5S8
B. c. The founders Of the Great Pa
CODA brought the eight holy hairs of
Buddha to the Thengoothara. Hill, the
spot where the pagoda now stands. It
also possess in the relic chamber the
drinking cup of Kankkathan, the
"thengan," or robe, of Gawnagohng,
and the "toungway," or staff, of Kath-
apah. It is, therefore, so holy that
pilgrims visit this shrine from far
countries, such as Siam, and even the
Corea. The height Of the pagoda
was originally only q feet, but it has
attained its present proportions by be-
.-~ constantly increased in bricks.

of Birds.
Iaylor Hoffman of Jersey City came
down to the pine woods of Atlantic.
county on a gunniEs expedition a few
days ago, says the Philadelphia Record.
He has had tolerably good luck, but
ran plump into an experience on the
trip which paid him for all the time
spent in looking for game. Hoffman
had put in hard day of tramping and
by the end Of the afternoon was pretty
well tagged out, as was his dog The
weather was warm and the shade of
the woods grateful, so Hoffman stretch
ed himself out beneath tree for a.
good rest. His dog dropped down close
to him. Hoffman fell into doze. but
was soon awakened by a fierce COM
motion, in which canine bowls were
uppermost. AS he jumped up he be-
held his dog in fierce combat with an
immense bald eagle, and the beast was
getting the worst of it. Hoffman was
afraid to fire his gun, because of the
chances Of killing his dog, so he got
club and sailed in. The bird of free
dom quickly turned upon its new foe
and fought as only eagles can fight.
Hoffman found himself in a sorry pre-
dicament, for he was no match for the
big bird. So close was the fighting
that he could not use the club to ad-
vantage, and the eagle had the sagac-
ity to fly high enough to escape the
dog, all the while using its great, ug-
ly talons and beak with fierce strength.
At length Hoffman fell exhausted and
his dog, with renewed strength, re-
turned to the encounter. Weakened
by the contest, the eagle took itself
of and disappeared. Hoffman was cut
and bruised in many places. but was

for raising money, for some time 1t was
all in vain; year after year he had to
face the landtag with deficit. The
first reform he attempted has certainly
proved a brilliant success; 1t has adj

are best able to bear 1t. Already In

by certain princes and mobiles. and
forcing them. as their less distin-

state exxchequer. Then in 1898 he
placed progressive tax on property,

Why the Lambs Arc Always F1eeced on
the Stock Exchange.

the Stock Exchange.
The use of chips and counters Is q
great convenience in such games as
poker, faro and the like, says the
Arena. The business, so called, of the
stock exchange in Wall street and else
where is carried on by the use of tok-
ems or bits Of paper designated as
bonds and stock certificates, which are
supposed to entitle the holders of them
to certain dividends to be declared by
managers of railway and other corpor-
atoms, or to certain interest INSTALL
mentS rayable at stated times. The
croupier ~ 'sro guarantees prompt
payment in CAST to the chip holders at
the end of the game. Thu seller Of
stocks and bonds in the ga ne in "the
street" guarantees nothing excep, the
title and the genuineness Of the chips.
The purchaser buys und er the rule
caveat emptor as to price and value.
The value of his purchase depends up
on the volume Of railway traffic, trans
portat.on rates, the state OIL the money
market, the ability. the hor lesty or dis
honesty of corporation ma nagers, the
manner in which corporal ion reports
and accounts are made and kept,
whether these reports and ,lccounts are
fair or cooked" whether the officers
wear Smoked glasses" aid the like.
Now, 1t is plain that t be so-called
lambs" are at a disadvan tage In this
business, or game. In faro the
splits" give the dealer small per-
centage of advantage, but this the
player understands and may calculate
on; the contingencies and rascalities in
the stock-dealing game, however, are
iucalculable.

Canada Refuse. to stop Pelagio Sealing

A reply has been prepared by the
Dominion government and forwarded
to Washington in respect to the negoti-
atoms which are now going on between
the countries. The government will
not say what the reply is until it
reaches Mr.. Foster at Washington, but
it is understood that it is refusal to
stop pelagic sealing for year as the
United States requested. The whole
question depended on this and there
fore it would appear the negotiations
are to fail in their object. However,
there Is a report that the Canadian
government has proposed an alterna-
tive proposition for the consideration
of the United States.

not harrassed by reproachful con-
