Washington, D. c., June 25.-The Sc
lection made by the President of can
didates for the second lieutenancies in
the regular army recently created by
Congress include several young men
credited to West Virginia. One Of
these is Charles P. Faulkner, son of
Senator Faulkner, and another Guy T.
Scott, son of the Internal Revenue
Commissioner. The others are Hanson
B. Black, graduate of the District OF
Columbia High school, and a lieuten-
ant in the High school cadets, and H.
A. Eaton, an honor graduate of the
West Virginia University. Young

the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
The immune camp at Fredericks-
burg, where Capt. Frazheim and his
men are rendezvoused, has been
named Camp Cobb, in honor Of the
Confederate General, Thomas R. r.
Cobb, who commanded a Georgia bri-

Heights, near Fredericksburg in 1862.

''Pa got orful mad yesterday morn
in when he got ready to shave his
SELF" remarked Johnnie.
You see, ma wanted to sharpen her
lead pencil the other day an she could
not find no knife an she took pas
razor. She said it was lovely and
sharp, but she said she'd give me a
good lickin' if I ever told pa of it.
81 didn't need to tell him of it,
though, cause he found it out just as
soon as he begun to use it. He asked
me if | had been afoolin' with his
razor, an said no, an he said twas
mighty lucky for me that I han't.
"Then he hollered to ma, but she
was rattlin' the dishes an made
believe she didn't hear till he'd hol-
Tered three times.
"She told him she didn't use it, but
once, an she said she didn't see no
sense in his shoutin' so loud that the
nelghbors could hear everything.
you ought to heard pa gin it to
her, though. Ma said she'd give me a
lickin' I'd remember as long as l lived
if | ever repeated what pa said
"After he'd got through Shawn an
gone off, ma said he was a gettin' so
fussy that he was an orful trial to live
with.
But Til bet dollar she won't
never touch his razor agin. Law

THE END OF THE WORLD COMING.

According to our friend Lieutenant
Totten the end of the world is not so
far away as the unthinking may i'm
agine. The Lieutenant is a mathema-
tician and he has worked out the prob
lem of the worlds future strictly in
accordance with mathematical rules.
True, Totten has several. times ter
riied nervous humanity with predic-
lions of all sorts of conniptions and
commissions which he said the world
was to indulge in but did not come
to pass on time, but then, you know,
every fellow is liable to mistakes.
This time he is sure he is right-dead
right. The world is at the end of the
seven years of plenty and at the be-
may lay Mr.. Totten open to the
charge of being calamity bowler, but
there is some consolation. The peo-
pie of this land of the free and home
of the brave are not to get the worst
of it. "Israel''-by which Totten
means the United States and England
is 1.-The stone cut out without hands
of Nebuchadnezzer's vision, as ex-
pounded by Daniel, and will smite the
French and Spanish feet of the mon
strous image of the vision and break
them in pieces. The present war and
the sympathy of France with Spain
have bearing on Totten's prediction,
although England has been shifting
France nearly all of her national ex
istence and has smitten Spain about
thirty-five times all told Now, Man
nassau. which is the Biblical name for
Uncle Sam, is, also, going into the
shifting business-is already deeply in
it, in fact-and the outlook for the
Image of the vision is sorry, indeed.
The present war, Lieutenant Totten
says, is part Of Daniels purview
to the end" and he is amazed that
the press and pulpit doesn't see it.
He sees it plainly and warns us 1--WE
live in stupendous days and should
live close"
Watch the outcome!" shouts Tot
ten, and we can only respond that
we're a-looking, and have special cor
respondents at all points.

A roundabout dispatch via Shanghai
to London from Manila reports the
Americans and insurgents at odds and
that Dewey is sorry the government at
Washington armed the rebels contrary
to his advice. This is the first
we have heard of this. Americans
have all along been laboring under the
impression that the government at
Washington was rather tardy getting
re;nforcements to Dewey, himself, to
say nothing of arming the Philippine
rebels.

AMERICANS FAR SUPERIOR.

The report of the battle fought near
Santiago is highly encouraging and in
spring, as showing the Unreasonable
superiority of Americans as fighters
over the Spanish. The American force
of 1000 cavalry was largely made up
of volunteers with no experience or
even drilling, except such rudimentary
training as they had received since
their enlistment A portion OF them
were composed Of rough riders from
Roosevelt's unique cavalry regiment,
many of them young men Of wealthy
families in New York, generally char
acterised as dudes and supposed to
have gone to the front largely to es-
cape the ennui of an almless existence
"about town."
The Spaniards were double the num-
Der of the Americans, their force peing
estimated at 1000. They were well en-
trenched on high hill. and occupied
. position they ought to have been able
to hold against a superior force of three
to four times their number. Their
arms even were superior to those OF
the Americans; being the deadly Maus-
er rifles, whose soft-head bullet makes
so frightful a wound that 1t gives rise
to the story that our marines killed at
Guantanamo had been horribly mutt
lated after death. =
The firing, we are told, lasted about
an hour, the Americans-these erst-
while young men about town, whose
fashionable friends in the metropolis
would never have recognized them in
this deadly work, and young and I'M
tried volunteers-advancing up the hill,
unshielded from the deadly hail of
lead poured down on them by the
Spaniards from their entertainments
above. Onward and upward fought
the Americans, their dead and wounded
dropping around them. never falter-
Ing, pressing on, stubborn, determined,
blazing away with deadly aim till they
reached the foes trenches on the ton
of the hill. Then 1t was all over, the
regular Spanish soldiery. experienced
and hardened to fighting, broke and
retreatetd en- masse for the shelter OF
the town behind. unable to stand a
moment on even ground with the
Americans. inexperienced though they
were, many of them with hands and

hearts of oak. They had carried the

ly ignorant of both the United States
and the status of the present war, but
it was not known that they were SO
lamentably lacking in knowledge Of
universal history as the following
amusing, but pitiful, paragraph from a
Spanish paper would seem to show:
The country has been deceived, for
heretofore the United States have. been
represented to be merely nation of mer-
chants, unfit for war, incapable of stand,
ing long struggle, lacking a navy and
imbued only with a greed for gold. 1t
was concealed from us tina, this same ma.
ton had fought two wars with Great
Britain, one with Mexico and also the
civil war in 1861 which gave liberty 10 the
slaves. The power and strength of that
nation have been hidden from our people,

MONTE CRISTO.
Dumas Island Belongs to the Prime,
of Naples.

The Island of Monte Cristo. made
famous by the masterpiece of the ell
der Dumas. has just passed into the
hands of the Prince of Naples, who
will employ it as reserve for big
game hunting.
Last Spring it was abundantly well
stocked with chamois. and a month
ago King Humbert of Italy passed a
few days on the island with hunting
party His majesty distinguished
himself with the rife by getting fifty
one head out of a total bag of seventy
chamois. This is a record. the previ-
GUS achievement almost approaching
it being total of forty-four by King
Humbert's father, King Victor EN-
manuel. On reaching Rome the king
had documents prepared transferring
all "titular" rights to the island to his
son, the crown prince.
1t is not likely that the rent roll of
the prince concerning this estate will
be very large, for, as in the days of
Edmund Dantes. the inhabitants are
entirely transient. the island being
used as shelter for fishing boats i'm
case of storm or as a harbor for the
smugglers. The island is thickly
wooded, and there is provided not on
ly magnificent sport. but it will give
the Princess of Naples all opportuni-
ty of joining her husband without in.
