Not Mercenary, '

No people care less about money
than Americans. We are universally
accused of extravaganza. Our rich
men astonish the world by their liber-
ality toward colleges and libraries and
churches and charities. The possess
sion of wealth on one side and Its lack
on the other is something of a bar to
marriage all the way from a London
palace to tribe ofAmerican Indians,
but in no other civilized community is
it so little of a bar as 1t is in the United
States.
But our reputation is not purely fc-
titious. There is reason for it, but
one that proves the stupidity of Euro
pean observers, with rare exceptions.
The woman who has to make her own
clothes is obliged to give more thought
to her dress than the more fortunate
woman who has simply to send her
orders TO her modiste, or, better yet.
receive the suggestions of her costum-
er. And yet she does not necessarily
care more for dress; probably she cares
less for 1t than the rich woman who
gives but quarter of the time to the
subject of clothes. 1t happens that
comparatively few Americans have
been lucky enough to inherit fortunes
from their fathers, and still fewer have
made mercenary marriages in foreign
countries. They have therefore been
obliged to make their own money, and
to give that subject more attention
than foreigners, who either inherit
wealth or have no hope whatever of
securing it. The American gives more
attention to the acquisition of money
than the European does, for he hasn't
it and may get it, while the European
has it without effort or cannot get it
with effort. But the American spends
1t more generously, suffers less when
he loses it, and estimates very much
less than the European.-Fred Perry

VIII Tie Pleed Mental Irresponsibility for
E.Inarlts About Sampson and Evn- s?
Denver. Col. Sept. 27.-The court
martial convened for the trial of Chap
lain Joseph p. Mcintyre of the battle
ship Oregon met here at l o'clock yes
terday afternoon. 1t was ushered III
with a sensation.
Instead OF the calling or witnesses tn
!naugurate the trial. as is customary,
Attorney Earl NJ. Cranston. attorney
fIr the accused, made an address to the
court.
Although the text of that address Is
unknown, the doors being closed, those
who are best qualified to judge of such
matters, assert that 1t is a practical
admission of the charges and specif-
cations and a proposition to submit
to the court the expert testimony OF
Drs. Eskridge and Pershing.
These two physicians are specialists
in nervous disorders. They made an
examination of Chaplain Mcintyre on
Saturday. This was done at the in
stance of friends of Mcintyre, who
think that by reason of great mental
excitement resulting from his expert
ence in the Santiago campaign he was
not responsible, for sitterances he may
have made in his lecture delivered here
on August 8.
The object sought in trying to have
the testimony Of these specialists sub
mitted would obviously be to waive
trial and throw the chaplain on the
mercy of the court.
The charges against Chaplain McIn-
tyre are three: Scandalous conduct
tending to the destruction of good NOR
ais, conduct to the prejudice of good
order and discipline, ard conduct un-
becoming an officer of the United States
navy.
The specifications are ten in number
and comprise quotations from a news
paper report of the lecture which the
chaplain delivered in the Trinity Meth
odist Episcopal church here on August
s, and in which he is alleged to have
questioned the honesty of Admiral
Sampson and the courage of Captain
Robley D. Evans.

Lamps of the London Cabs.

ga thing that struck me about the
hanson cabs in London-this was some
years ago, but guess it's just the same
now," said a citizen of this town, twas
the fact that the lamps they carried all
had in the back a red glass about as big
as the end of a good sized spool. When
the lamps were lighted at night, they
all showed these two little red disks at
the rear. 1 don't know why this is So
maybe the lamps are all by one maker
and it's his fancy - but l imagine
there's reason for it. Anyhow the
effect is picturesque, whether the cabs
are seen singly or in numbers. In the
Strand, for instance, one may see long
lines of hansoms, all headed one way
and close together. Looking along these
lines from the rear one sees an unbroken
series of red lights diminishing i'll the
perspective, and one sees also the little
red lights fitting here and there. They
don't illuminate, but their color GER
tainly contributes to the variety and the
gayety of the night scene.
Zone sees these red lights at the rear
of New York hanson, but only occa-
sionally. Our hansoms are most of them
well finished and mounted, many of
them, for instance, carrying fine lamps;
but not many of them show the red
disks. Perhaps there's no reason why
they should, but like to see them. -
