ing in the air 1t seems. in time with
the music. When the flag reaches the
ground, it Is caught by detail of the
waiting guard and carefully folded and
escorted to the guard house. where It
is kept safely through the night. And
all through the ceremony the garrison
under arms stand rigidly at the high
est form of salute-the present, and
those not under arms stand reverently
uncovered. While many regimental
commanders had devised one way or
another for the honor of the flag, it
was not until recently that the army
regulations laid down law on the
subject. While the patriotic societies
and the principles that they have faith
ared and encouraged deserve some
credit for the feeling that has ended
in so high form of respect being paid
the flag, it is to Capt. Hamilton that
the credit of the regulation is due.
Nor is this closing ceremony of the
soldiers day the only token of the
soldiers respect that the old flag re-
ceives from him. When the regimen
tai colors are not in use in the field,
they stand in rack in front Of the
commanding officers quarters. in the
care of sentry, and every civilian
passing is required to raise his hat to
them-the soldiers do not need to be
required to do that. When the colors
are being carried to and from the drill
field the sentries by whose posts they
pass present arms, and every man
who passes them raises his hat or sa-
lutes.
A great many regiments of the arneJ
follow a very pretty and dignified GUS
tom that was instituted in the Fourth
infantry of the Wisconsin guard when
Gen. Charles King was its colonel. At
the close Of regimental parade, the Of
ficers marched off the field and stood
in group a little off the parade
ground, while the color sergeant
marched straight to the front across
the parade and wheeling around stood
facing the regiment, while the sergeant
major, breaking the regiment into COL
umn of companies, marched them in
review to the colors, each company sa-
luting the flag as it would general.
These little ceremonies instill in the
soldiers great deal of that spirit that
carried our flag over the ridge at Mis-
sion Ridge, that broke down and swept
away Picl1ett's brave division, that won,
for Thomas the proud name of the
Rock of Chickamauga.

Hawaiian minister of foreign AFFAIRS
sent the following reply:
"Sir:-In reply to your note OF the

that, owing to the Intimate relations
now existing between this country and

Miles Likes Luxury.

Some of the military attaches Of the
foreign legations at Tampa have been
making fun of General Miles. They
have written letters to friends In
Washington, complaining that while
at Tampa he appeared In evening
dress at dinner Mt the Tampa Bay ho-
tel every night: that he wore a straw
hat with his Tuxedo; that he sat on
the piazza after dinner, smoked ci-
gar and listened to the music as II he
were trying to enjoy himself; that he
was accompanied by his wife, daugh-
ter and little son; thai he had special
train awaiting his convenience and n
private car In which there was n por-
celain bath tub and n kitchcn-nll Of
which they criticise rs unsoldierly
luxury. But General Miles will prob
ably continue to make himself COM
Portable regardless of their criticisms.
There is no doubt that he Is fond Of
the good things of life and makes ;is
much as possible of his facilities, but
this has never affected his efficiency as

PAYING OUT GOLD.
Washington People Getting Too Much OF
Good Thing.

Washington People Getting Too Much OF
Good Thing.
People in Washington who go to
market or shopping these days are
pretty sure to receive gold coin rs
change, and 1t is the first time we
have had that experience since green
backs We're adopted by Secretary
Chase in 1862. During the last six
weeks the disbursing officers Of the
different departments have been pay
ing the salaries of the clerks in the
yellow metal. and all drafts and war
rants upon the treasury have been
paid in mixed money ut the proportion
of So In paper to SIS in coin. The re-
suit has been n scarcity of greenbaciis
and silver certificates and large
amount of gold coin in common circu-
latiOn. At the change counter at the
treasury the clerks generally refuse to
give greenbacks in exchange for gold,
although they are often so obliging as
to give 50 in notes and S1J in coin in
exchange for n 500 gold piece. While
people receive gold with pleasure and
inspect it with admiration. they soon
get tired of handling it and show n de-
cided preference for paper money. 1t
is explained at the treasury that this
disbursement of gold is due to the
vaults being crowded with specie.
Three years ago the government was
selling bonds because the vaults were
empty, and the sudden change affords
an interesting study for financiers. 1t
Is said to be the purpose of the secre-
tary of the treasury to issue gold in
