SIZE OF THE NEW ARMY
Is a Subject of Discussion in Official
Circles

Circles.
Washington, Nov. 29.-There Is re-
newed talk of the reorganization OF the
regular army by the present session OF
congress. The general impression seems
TO be that the regular army should con-
sist Of 100, 900 men and that number will
no doubt be recommended in the draft
of the bill being prepared by the war
department However, there has been
advanced a. suggestion which meets
with some favor in military circles,
which is to make a regular standing
army of $4,000 men and to have a pro
visional army of $4,000, the latter made
up largely of natives of the ISLANDS
where the United States must do garrl-
son duty. These troops could be officer
ed from the United States army and
provision made to give them increased
rank and pay while on such duty.
1t has been suggested that 4ieutenants
could become captains and captains
majors and so on to the highest officer
of a regiment. It is proposed that the
cost of maintaining this provisional
army should come out of the revenues
of the Islands garrisoned. 1t is not in
tended that the whole garrison should
be made up of such organizations of
natives, but that a sufficient number of
United States regulars should be at
each important place to maintain order
in any emergency.

Governor Leedy is about the only one Of
the executive council who does not smoke,

weighty question is to be settled and the
other members are putting hard on their
cigars to help them think, the governor
is well nigh lost in cloud of smoke and
has to dig himself out.

A COMMON SUPERSTITION.

Many people believe that the break.
ing of a looking glass is a certain sign
of death. The newspapers report that a
mother recently became insane after
dropping a mirror because she feared
that some of her loved ones would soon
die. There are other signs much more
dangerous than this. The most COM
mon is a disordered stomach, which
causes nervousness, dyspepsia, indiges-
ton and constipation. These symptoms
tell the sufferer that his days will be
shortened unless he sets things right
in his digestive organs. For this pur-
pose there is nothing so certain to cure
as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t reg
ulates the bowels, %steadies the nerves
and whets up the appetite. 1t is the
standard remedy. There is no substi-
tute for it..
