AS SEEN THROUGH A MONOCLE.
Captain Paget. of the English Navy, Who
 Came Over to See the War.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 One of the most interesting figures of the Santiago campaign was Sir Arthur Paget, better known as Captain Paget of the English navy. Talk about Americans, Cap tain Paget was the most American of them all. braver man never lived. He had come all the way from London to see the war and he was not to be scared away by horrors real or imaginary. Captain Paget wears a monocle and has a stutter in his speech which would be mbecility in any one else. But you cannot make fun of brave man. The captain spoke in a voice which could be heard 200 yards.
 He was.on Grimes hill when the shrap- nel began to sing. Most of the non-com- batants took to the woods, so to speak. Not so with the captain. He declined to duck or to hasten his steps or otherwise lessen the dignity which he has inherited from long family line and nurtured to high state of perfection by practical ex perience in the field. Noah" said the captain, i've will move to this hill, which is quite near. The-ah-Spaniards are in- fernally-ah-bad gunners and there is no --ah=-danger, unless-ah-they are worse than usuei,"' Sir Arthur screwed his mon- ocle firmly in his eye, and, pushing his way 6ocN place on the neighborfng eleVa attt155Kf t155Kfa7- where he could observe all the movements of tlSe day. He could see things where the ordi- nary field glasses failed and insisted in re- maining there all day long in spite of the sing of shrapnel shells.
 Grimes battery had been silenced, but not the captain. When the charge was made up the hill of San Juan the captain became enthusiastic in his praises He talked about tour boys" He never got over the habit afterwards It was always tour fellows" or "our boys" and "how we did it.''
 This same Sir Arthur Paget exhibited shrewdness and cunning which is supposed to exist only on this side of the Atlantic. On July 2 Sir Arthur Paget began acting aueerly. At this time he was stopping at General Shafter's headquarters, about two miles back of the firing line. The captain began packing up his equipment What is tho matter??" inquired the French at tache "I-ah-am not being treated right, said the captain. "rhe-ah, American offi-

DISCIPLINE

M. L. Rayne in the Chicago Times-Herald.
 In the sure hope of a splendid peace it is only natural that we should project our minds into the future to anticipate sea- son of social triumph such as our country has never yet witnessed. After the war will have a brighter significance than 1t had thirty-three years ago, when black the somber black of deep mourning-was the uniform of peace hen victory was won at an awful sacrifice of valiant lives, and nearly every household had one vacant chair.

 There has been a decrease in traffic on both the elevated and trolley roads run ming over the Brooklyn Bridge since last Friday night. Reports from the ferry companies show that more persons have used the old mode of transportation from Brooklyn and Manhattan in the last four days, than at any time since the bridge was formally opened At the Fulton, South and Catharine ferries extra boats had to be put on.
 The municipal assembly will investigate the overcrowding of trolley cars, which Is believed to have caused the sagging of the bridge Friday evening, and confer ences have been held between the bridge commissioners and railroad officials, with a view of enforcing the rule which requires the cars to run not closer than 102 feet apart.

ment of bridges, joined the other officials while the conference was going on, and he made a statement similar to one issued by Chief Engineer c. c. Martin, of the Brooklyn bridge, to the effect that the bridge could be loaded with cars all tracks and the promenade with pedes ri ans, and there would still be a margin of safety on the structure. He admitted that weight as unevenly distributed as on last Friday night was not good for the structure, and that it was calculated to cause more stays to buckle.
 Commissioner Shea said: "It is sheer nonsense for any one to say that the bridge is in danger. What happened last Friday has often happened before and 1t was so little thought of that nothing was even said about it."
 In the face of the conference between the bridge and railroad officials yesterday comes the announcement that the plans and specifications are complete for bulld- ing an incline at Atlantic and Flatbush avenues to connect the Brooklyn elevated railroad system with the Long Island railroad surface tracks on Atlantic ave- nue. This Is intended to convey passen- gers direct from Manhattan to Rockaway Beach. These trains arc of great length and are often crowded with summer pleas ure seekers.
 means a great many more trains on the already crowded bridge. It will require five train cars, running at the least pos. sible headway. to meet these enormous Rockaway trains, and it will add ire, mendous weight to the bridge. Besid this the Kings County Elevated Railroad company has not completed it's bridge spur at Liberty and Johnson streets. Wren this track is finished the Kings county company will send in trains to accommo- date it's passengers. Brooklynites who use the bridge are wondering where the traffic W i'll end or when the limit will be reached

cers have not treated me right. They-ah, have not invited me to mess with them and-ah-have treated me shabbily. I am going away" Really, you are unfortun- ate," said the French attache, commiserat- ingly; "I have been treated excellently." Here is the true story of the captains sud- den flight: That morning the English con- sul had come out of Santiago and had had an interview with Captain Paget. The con- sul had told Captain Paget that Admiral Cervera had informed him that 1t was his intention to move out the next morning. Sir Arthur consequently made up his mind to see the naval engagement. It was too good thing to give away to the other attaches. He proceeded with great speed to Siboney, where he boarded boat which carried him to a battleship The next morn- ing he witnessed the destruction of the Spanish fleet. He was the only foreign attache who was lucky enough to be on hand during the engagement.

the law of discipline and worn the uniform of a soldier something he can never quite forget He will be more obedient to his superiors, more consderate to his interiors, quicker to recognize the obligations of duty since wearing the United States uniform and learning the value of army discipline. And there must always remain with him the atmosphere of patriotism and glory in which he made his debut as soldier, and although rifle and saber may be laid aside, he will always be one of the soldiers. of peace.
 Wearing a uniform does not make a sol dier, but 1t adds much to the appearance of an army, and it of the greatest importance to individuals by making them one of a grand conservation of power under gov ernmental protection.
 The army of Tamerlane. which defeated wore the first uniform of which any defin- ite knowledge remains. At the relief of Mouse, 1471, the Bishop of Ministers. troops-7,4OO men-wore green uniforms. Military uniforms were first used in France as a regular army dress by Louis XIV. in the year 1868, and were soon after dQOpltu III EIuBlduu. lHS SpiSHutu uuioAhh of the British army was not permanently established until the early part of the reign of George III. although an attempt was made by James l., who received the design of red cloth from Queen Elizabeth, who died before the suggestion was acted upon. Scarlet was the color chosen by the queen, and the same color Is worn to- day in the English army. Blue is the fighting color of France, white of Austria, green of the Spanish and brown of the Portuguese. Dark blue with red facing is the color of the American army uniform, with light blue trousers and facings.
 In an English journal, under the head of Domestic News" 174S, this announce ment is made:
 "An order is said to be issued requiring all her majesty's sea officers from the na- val office and at the several dockyards, from the admiral down to the midship- man. to wear uniform of clothing. for which purpose pattern coats for dress suits and frocks for each rank of officers are lodged for their inspection
 In the American revolutionary war the uniforms worn were of all colors-black and red, blue and white, green ana red and brown and white.
 Knoxs artillery wore a uniform of black coats turned up with red white woolen jackets and hats trimmed with yellow. The uniform of Colonel Hartley's first guards is described as blue regimental coats, white caps, white jackets and buck skin brooches.
 In 177S Colonel Lees regiment wore blue faced with white, wife wa'stcoats and black brooches. In 1T79 Captain Scott's company, General Putnam's division, wNe blue regimental coats turned up with red. military buttons marked U. s., flannel jackets for rank and file, and coarse white stockings knitted by the Priscillas and Dorothy's of the time from cotton yarn

general and the coat-of-arms of the United States. A belt of Russia leather heavily embroidered in gold bullion and a magnifi- cent sash are among the decorations.
 The uniform of an admiral in the Rus sian navy is gorgeous tribute to the mag nificence of the most decorative occasion.
 The German emperor's wardrobe consists entirely of uniforms and is valued at $5OO.- 900, each uniform being decorated with precious stones. He has twelve valets to care for this wardrobe, which include uni- forms of the German army and navy, Aus trian, Russian, Swedish, Italian, English and others-which he wears when making princely visits or entertaining foreign guests
 The uniform of peace has less glory In It's composition, but is as potent a factor in maintaining order and insuring dis cipline. It is a far cry from the first rail- road uniform worn in this country by con ductors on railway cars when they resisted what they termed the slavishness of livery to the wall that went up from the new public library when the employees were told that the question or uniforms was being discussed. Now the conductor is proud of his blue cloth and bright buttons as badges of an honorable position, and the dispensers of literature will doubtless see the utility of a discipline not more rigorous than that which they exact from their patrons.
 The donning of a uniform marks era in a life, whether it be that of a soldier or trained nurse, and it keeps those who wear it on their good behavior before the world. The omnibus sentensce of the courtmartial, "You have disgraced your uniform by conduct unbeconing a gentle man. applies to every uniform worn whether in the avocationsa of peace or the service of war. It is the diploma of re- sponsbility.

 At the inauguration of our first president the revolutionary blue and buff was the color of uniforms
 The uniform of the United States army during the civil war was much the same as 1t is at present. The enlisted men wore dark blue blouse, light blue trousers and overcoats. The army overcoat was worn long after peace was established. Indeed, at this date it may be seen in Washington on the back of some old colored servitor to whom it has fallen by some law of apostolic succession.
