- $ a side show to the war there
n has just been running for the
amusement and edification of the
people of New York the trial Of a libel
suit begun by George Raines against
the New York Press. Raines is the man
who acquired a national reputation by
passing a bill through the New York
legislature making it a crime punishable
by death to eat a ham sandwich with
out drinking a glass Of beer; or some
thing of that sort. In 1895 Lemuel Eli
Quigg-many Montana people remem-
Der his bumptuous nibs-was editor of
the New York Press and was interested
In thc passage of a bill increasing the
salaries Of the firemen of New York
city. Lou" Payn. the lobbyist, sug-
gested TO Senator Raines an amendment
increasing the salaries of the officers of
the department as well as of the men.
Quigg didn't want the amendment. and
Payn wouldn't let the bill pass without
IL. Quigg appealed to Plat, and Plat
made Payn drop the amendment. Quigg
banked Payn for dropping it. and Payn

unnecessary, because it was lone pure
ly TO please Plat.
But before Plat had made Payn drop
the amendment Quigg had assailed
Payn and three republican senators in
the Press with a virulence rarely ex-
ercised. He charged that the senators
were corrupt and mercenary, that a
Doodle fund of $4,000 had been raised
for their benefit. they being men who
had to be taken Gaze Of" and that
Payn was the agent who was in charge
Of the fund. Qu!gg spoke of the four
men as high and mighty boodiers' who
ought to have stripes on them and a
good heavy ball Of cast iron attached
to their legs Raines, one of the three
senator's. sued the Press for $50, 900 dam
ages to his character. The suit was full
of sensational testimony from the start,
Lou Payn making no secret of the fact
thai he had been a paid lobbyist. the
fees for his services often coming in
blocks Of $4,000.
The jury has disagreed. Six jurors be-
lieved that Raines' character was dam
aged when the Press made reference to
high and mighty hoodlers. who ought
to have stripes put on them and a good
heavy ball of cast iron attached to their
legs" Then there were the other six
jurors who believed that the article did
not defame Raines. Raines is an adroit
man. but II he is able to extract salts
faction out Of the result of a lawsuit
that leaves his character hung up In
that way. he will surpass himself.

SHIPS AT SEA.

oh. many ships have I at sea
That sailed away long years ago.
Som day they're coming back TO me,
But when and how l cannot know.
Sometimes wander on the shore,
And watch the far horizon dim,
Where vanished i'm those days of yore
My argosies so fleet and trim.
I scan with eager eyes the waves
That dance and sparkle i'm the light
A vision fair my fond heart Graves,
Alas! no sail is yet in sight.
Oft times I find upon the sand
A broke plank. a shattered spar.
A bent and rusty iron band
Oh. voiceless tale of wrecks affair.
Then anxious fears crowd i'm my breast.
And veil the sunshine i'm the sky.
Shall thus my good ships end their quest?
Shall this their fate be by-and-by?
o friends with ships far out at sea.
That sailed away so long ago.
Some day there coming back to thee.
But when and how we may not now
Perchance with sails all rent and soiled.
Battered and bruised thy ships may be
OF beauty and grace they may be de-
spoiled.
Heavy and slow they may come to thee.
But come they morning. noon. or night,
With fying colors or broker mast.
Our hearts will cry with a thrill of de-
light.
Thank God that our ships have come in
at last,

General Esgan suggests a scheme for
the betterment of the nations culinary
department. which, IL II can be carried
out. will result not only in reducing ex-
penses. but in more satisfactory menus
for the troops. He is now e~ndeavoring
to secure the passage of a law provfd-
ing for the enlistment of a competent
cook in every company and battery Of
the army. Their skill in preparing food
would result in a saving to the govern
ment by preventing waste and would

G ONE OF the leaders Of the anti

The Commissary Department..

q ECRETARY ALGER and Com
~ missary General Eagan have the
~ honesty to admit that the com
plants as to the quality and quantity
Of the food furnished the troops have,
in most instances. been well grounded.
The fault. they say. is not with the
government. but chiefly with the COM
pany officers and cooks. As a result
OF the investigation made to discover
the cause of the trouble. il was learned
that the commanders of many COM
panies had failed to draw the proper
amount of rations for those in their
charge and that most of h cooks en-
ployed were novices. whose lack of skill
in the preparation of food wastes al
most as much as is supplied to the SOL
diers.
General Eagan insists that the ten
days rations when entrusted to these
tyros in the culinary art are often used
up by the seventh or eighth day. Be
cause of this wastefulness an impress
sion has been treated that the govern
ment is niggardly in providing o for
it's men. He declares that the O now
supplied by the Commissary depart
ment constitutes a ration that is more
ample thar any other in the world and
fully sufficient If properly cared for
