NARROWLY HscAPHp LYNcH1NG.

Negro Soldiers Held BACK By Deter-
miaed Marshall.
: Atlanta, Ca, Aug. IA serious riot
was narrowly averted yesterday after
noon at Fort Mcpherson, and but for
the prompt arrival of the corporal Of
the guard and large squad Of men.
together with the assistance Of Marshal
Ryan. Of Oakland, one man would in
oil probability have been lynched by an
Infatuated mob Of soldiers. A fight
took place between q negro named
McGinnis and one of the negro SOL
diers stationed at the post, In which
the latter was dangerously II not IA
tally cut.
After the cutting q crowd Of negro
soldiers made for McGinnis. who Inn
mediately fed to house and crawled
under bed. The crowd, which by this
time numbered nearly Q thousand, sur
rounded the house. A number Of the
soldiers entered, and discovering Nc
Ginnis under the bed pulled him out
and began beating him. Lieutenant
Hill, with large squad Of men. ar
rived on the scene, and entering by
way Of q window attempted to rescue
the negro. McGinnis made O dash for
liberty, but was met at the front door
BY Marshal Ryan, who caught him.
When the crowd saw McGinnis on
the porch Of the house an effort was
Xpade to take him from the marshal,
and for time it looked as though they
would make good their threat. The
marshal drew his revolver and held
the crowd back until help arrived.

The most popular officer holding the
commission Of the United States govern
ment is the paymaster. In the eyes Of the
troops at the front he is only little lower
than tho angels. When no arrives in camp,
he is received with something like the en-
thusiasin that surprised the prodlgal son.
The best that there is in the way Of tent,
things to cat and things to drink are at
his disposal. The colonel smiles, and the
majors smile, and the captains smile, and
the smile progresses on down to the small
est drummer boy. Everybody spruces up,
puts on his best available clothes and does
his best to do credit to the regiment.
You would think that the businesslike
man In q majors uniform was Miss Co.
lumbia, the president and the general COM
manding rolled into one. And then the
paymaster reciprocates. He loses no time
In getting through the books. He has
been known to toll half the night so that
the boys might not have to wait for their
money any longer than was absolutely
necessary. As u rule, there is days work
In the regimental rolls, but the paymas-
ter doesn't spare himself or his ASSISTANTS
He looks us satisfied when his task is done
as If he wero about to go nut with the
boys whom he has made so happy. But
he doesn t, for he has to fly away to fresh
scenes Of activity.-New York Sun.

THE HEIGHT OF SOLDIERS.


Rhsdf Average Stature Dsclines ~ 1u1o-
peas Arnies Are Increased.
A the sise of modern armies is increased
the average height Of hshting men is d.
minished. The Tageblatt Of Berlin ascribes
the reduction in the average stature Of
soldiers In modern armies to CONSUMPTION
and says that in the German army 1t Is
now only 60.68 inches. In the British
army the height IL "a. 90 inches, showing
the tallness Of the average Englishman
and 6cotchman. Frenchmen and Span
iards are taken at 1.54 meters, Italians at
l.56 meters (81 inches), and the same
minimum measurement Is the rule in
Austria. The Russian minimum Is 1.54
meters, and In the United States it is
1919 meters (63. rs inches).
In 1860, before the beginning of tho
American civil war and before the general
ar,ning of Europe, the average height Of
men serving in the various European
armies was as follows, given In inches:
Italian, IS; Spaniard, 65.5; French, GO;
Hungarian, 1; Austrian, 66 s; Belgian,
66.9; Russian, 67 English, 875; Irish,
6s; Scotch, 6s.5; Norwegian, &c.
Although the average height Of soldiers
has decreased during the last few years
considerably In those countries in which
CONSUMPTION is the rule, 1t 10 found gener-
ally that In countries in which peaceful
prevail and no great standing
army is maintained the stature Of new
soldiers is gradually increasing. This is
shown conspicuously in the case Of Swe-
don, where the average of height of new
soldiers between 1910 and 1850 was SO |
inches, 6e.a between 1850 and 1860, 88.8 |
