"HAM" LEWIS'S "SOLDTERS"

The National Guard OF the State Of Wash
ington does credit to It's representative In Con
gress, the beautiful James Hamilton Lewis
who opposed the Army Reorganization bill be-
cause it might deract from the dignity Of his
military strut His idea that the object Of an
army IN war time TO give him a chance 70

Judge from the Tacoma kilograms recounting
their demands that all their tin shall be ac-
copied by the War Department as solid metal
without assaying.
1t will be remembered that the Washington
Guardsmen were among those most anxious to
do the fighting Of this war. They saw in an In
creased Regular Army a menace Of despotsn.
and proclaimed that an increase was entirely
unnecessary. If more soldiers were needed
were they not on hand? They were brave,
ablebodied disciplined, fiji for all possible emer-
gencies and ready to meet all requirements Of
the Commander n-CA'ef, no matter how dlnl-
cult the task to be performed And so they
had their way. The War Department was told
that it did not need a large body Of Regulars.
but that James Hamilton Lewis was ready to
lead the hardy Of Washington at It's call.
at its own desire, asked to furnish the recruits
for the service whom 1t would not permit TO be
secured IN any other way. The Washington
National Guard was assembled, and n surgeon
was sent to examine II and accept II for the
volunteer army He rejected about 20 per cent
OF its members as physically disqualified for
military duty. That somewhat dctracted from
James Hamilton Lewis's picture Of the proves
Of the Guardsmen and the idocy Of Army OIL
GERS in desiring any better soldiers than they
could furnish. though 1t still left the public free
bearing and discipline. even II their physique
was not quite equal TO their spirit.
But. not content with meeting the Govern
ments needs with the 80 per cent OF fit and
bodied soldiers. the Washington National
Guard has determined according TO the reports.

chance to gain military glory along with the
rest, and the officers have demanded that they
be admitted to the volunteer army without be-
Ing subjected to physical examination Their
point IS that they care not for the efficiency Of
the army so long as they can hold its com
missions. The surgeon says: you nre not
strong enough for campaigning. You would
after a little hardship only be n drag on the

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The wonderful victory In Manila Bay and
the rise Of Ala cents IN wheat were enough
TO make the week memorable. Though
the astonishing character Of the victory was
not fully known before Saturdays market
closed. and there had sprung up not little
uneasy apprehension because the official re-
port from the Admiral did not arrive the
advance in railroads averaged SO 10 per share
for the sixty most active stocks. which is a
most unusual advance. and yet not surpris-
ing TO those who have realized how far the
worst imaginable misfortunes have been dis
counted in the performance OF Spectators dur
ing the last few months. Very likely the full
effect Of the victory has not been felt az
yet. for the essence OF the recent weakness

 Mrs. William Astor has a collection of diamonds worth a. fortune. But the finest diamond in the world belongs, so 1t is said, to Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. It is tiny affair, weighing one karat, yet it cost her husband $5,OO0 As the value of diamonds increases in an increasing ratio with their weight up to moderate size, this Wander bilt brilliant, if as large as the Noh-i-Noor C02h karats) would be worth about $350O,- GOO.

 The pope 1t is said, is likely to bestow the golden rose this year upon the Arch duchess Gisela of Austria, the wife of Prince Leopold, second son of the regent or Bavaria. It is possible that his holiness has been influenced in some degree In his choice by deep sympathy for the house of Hapsburg in its present sorrow, caused by the death of the empress, and the troubles of the queen of Spain. However this may be. the popes choice is happy one and the princess quite deserves inclusion among the distinguished ladies who have received this honor. Her personal piety and quiet, unostentatious charity, together with her domestic virtues, have made her favorite, and the choice of the pope is not likely to awaken envy among her less favored ac- uuaintances. Princess Gisela is the eldest surviving child of the late Empress Eliza beth. She was deeply attached to her mother, with whom she was residing at the Castle Lainz during the last few weeks that preceded the fatal journey into Switz- erland.
