Corbin laid the blame for most
of the mistakes of the war depart

the committee if the war depart
ment had been making prepara-
tions for war during the discus
sion of the question, he replied
that up to the last moment both
he and General Alger believed
that war would be averted, and
that practically no preparations
had been made for such a condi-
dition.
He said he did not know to what
extent the department had been
criticised. When rsked if he re ID
the newspapers, he said, 'sNo, for

The Gamblers Capper.

"Many of the phases of life in
the Tenderloin are kaleidoscope in
their changes" said a hotel detec-
tive, "but there is one little group

years ago. l mean the outside men
of the gambling houses. They are
we'll known to all sporting men, and

done little else all their lives. 1t is
their business to know the regular
patrons of faro banks, and if the
man who employs them has been
forced to close up his old place and
open a new one it is their duty to
circulate the tip.
ga good outside man spends his
time around hotels and in all night
restaurants and picks up acquain-
tances wherever he can. Alter work.
ing up to the subject of gambling he
invites his new friend to go around
to little place that is run honestly
and safely. One of the best dressed
loungers on Broadway, whose face
has long been familiar to paraders
on that street, is a puller in for a
gambling house. He was a bar
keeper a few years ago and there

BEDTIME.

A physician Of coufHy old--school
manners used 10 give prescriptions
marked respectively for early bed
time and for late bedtime. A dis
cussion arose the other day between
several friends as to what constitut.
ell early and what late bedtime
Some OF the ladies maintained that
ten o'clock WIS the limit between
the two, others thought that early
bedtime lasted until eleven, and
few who believed in beauty sleep
pleaded that early bedtime began at
eight and ended at half past nine
O'Clock.
So many people are engaged all
day. and tho dinner hour is neces-
aairly, in city lie, deferred to so
late an hour, that families do not
break up from their quiet evenings
until after ten. Society pushes its
hours later and later, and the votar-
les of fashion come near having no
bedtime at all, snatcbing their rest
when they can between one gay rout
and another. The invalid and the
aged person and the child must
pcrtorce retire early. For those
| steady going persons who regulate
their lives by rule, and who habit
0ailg rise at an early hour and
breakfast punctually at seven O'Clock

their account in seeking the repose

4 long sleep rests the mind as
well as the body, and prepares one
for the work OF the next day, what.
ever It may be. Far better than az
oplate or narcotic is the habit OF
seeking the pillow at an early hour,
and quietly lying still, with closed
eyes and relaxing limbs, until sleep,
gently wooed, comes with its heal
ing touch and softly weaves its spell
of balm.

Growing children cannot too care

fifteen and should be insisted upon
by parents.-Harper's Bazaar.

the fighting in the Crimea, the Brit

efficiency. 1t IS only now, when
the chief actors in the great drama,
of the struggle with Russia are dead
that the public is beginning to learn
the extent of the incapacity and in

for the equipment and training OF

courage OF the British private,
the Crimean campaign would have
been disastrous failure. Indeed,
but for the accident of fog on the
morning Of the battle Of Iukerman,
which enabled handful Of British
troops TO impress 10000 Russian

The Armour Incubator Baby.

Chicago, Nov. 2l.-Lolita Armour
granddaughter of Philip D. Armour,
just 2 year old, although an incu-
bator baby, is one of the sturdiest
girls of her age in Chicago. She is
as pretty, weighs as much, and is
as full of life as 2 year-old baby
ought to be.
She is the child OF Mr.. and Mrs.
j. Ogden Armour of Michigan ave
nue.. When she came into the
world she barely weighed 8 pounds,
and her doting grandfather was told
that by the merest chance she might
be saved in an incr bator. All dain
ty baby frocks and frills were put
aside, and the millionaire grand
daughter, rolled in bit of linen
and cotton, was laid in the new fang
led life-saving machine. For a good
many days the fate of the baby in
the tin box was problematicaI. No
one watched the incubator with
more interest than the grandfather,
and when it became evident the
child would live the grandfather,
: considerable of a fighter himself,
showed his admiration OF the fight
for life this grandchild had made by
settling an even half million oh her.

The muscle, il common with all

The lifting power of a youth of

tweatieth year this increases to 800
pounds, and in the thirty-tirst year
it reaches its height, 356 pounds.
At the end Of the thirty-Grst year
tue strength begins to decline, very
slowly al first
BY the fortie.h year it has de-
creased eight pounds, and this di

when the figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength

The TenderIoln's Professional Bonds-
man.


To SO what wide open New York
means. and to obtain an illustration
of what Tammany's terrible re-
venge" really is,one should go to the
Tenderloin station house in West
Thirtieth Street about eleven O'Clock
some evening. From ten to twenty
creatures of the streets are brought
in, and, within an hour or two, are
released under bail furnished by q
professional bondsman, a Tammany
Hall Leader, William R. Nelson,
proprietor of the famous ''black and
tan" saloon on Seventh Avenue
The next day these creatures are
fined in the police'court. According
to newspaper accounts, Nelson gets
at least SIS for every one he signs.
No other man is permitted to haye
the actual privilege he enjoys. The
street sinner probably pays another
SIS for her fine, and TO make up for
what has been taken from her under
due process Of law, and with the
cooperation of the police for Nelson
profit, she must prowl the streets
only to fall into the clutches OF
Nelson's pull again. Nelsons's most
intimate friend is the famous ward
man" Schill, now back at his old
station for "police duty" and with
all indictments against him dismiss
ed. In other words, a distinct part CT
the earnings of the creatures OF
the Tenderlion are diverted every
night-a sum amounting from 500
to $100-to the Golfers Of Bob
Nelson, Tammany leader.
But one should go deeper when
considering the case OF Nelson.
The records show that when Devery
was indicted, as the result of the
Lexow Investigation disclosures,
Nelson was one of bis bondsmen.

Some Recent Inventions.

In new guard rail for street cars
short bars are pivoted on every
other post in pairs, to be raised and
lowered by rods attached to series
of cranks carried by rod at the top
of the car.
Razors can be quickly sharpened
by new device formed of circular
piece of flexible material, having a
fine grinding powder on its face, the
sharpener being folded over the back
of the razor 80 that the grinding
surface acts on the blade as it slides
back and forth.
A Californian has designed a boil
er which cleans itself of all impuri-
ties in the water, the feed pipe be-
ing curved after ii enters the boiler
to cause the water to revolve, the
dirt gradually falling into q funnel
in the bottom to be drawn off
through faucet.
To prevent elevators from drop.
ping in case the cable breaks, a
curved steel bar is attached to the
under side of the carriage, carrying
blocks at the ends to grip the ways
in which the cage slides, the blocks
being normally held out of contact
by levers connected with the cable.
