GIN. It was not In the nature OF con-
ference. during which questions relat-
ing to the war were discussed, but was
that OF a formal call OF respect usual on
the return OF high official. The confer
ence for more extended discussion OF
war AFFAIRS doubtless will come later, all
though Il was said after the call that
no exact time had been set for further
meeting. General Miles had nothing to
say before or after the call. He was
greeted with round Of applause as he
left the white house, pushing his way
through the dense crowd awaiting the
review Of returning District of Columbia
troops.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Sept. s-secre-
tarv of War Russell A. Alger and party
reached Pittsburgh tonight en- route
for the secretary's home in Detroit for
about ten days stay.
The secretary in an Interview said: 'I
do not care about the charges and
counter charges seen In the newspapers,
absurd end nonsensIcal stories have
been published which has had the et-
feet of alarming the soldiers friends at
home.
Just one complaint has been made
by soldier to the department and that
was By a soldier at Tampa, or rather by
his brother who said he was starving to
death It was found to be grossly ex-
aggerated, merely a fever patient con-
valescing and asking for Just that kind
Of food which Is not what they should
have ---''
'The cause Of most OF the complaints
Is wholesome desire on the part OF the
soldiers for furloughs."
Secretary Alger, In response to a
question then said the reason he had
asked President Mckinley to order an
investigation was that there had been
so much publicity given to alleged mis-
management and complaints in the
army that he desired the light to be
turned on.
'T DESIRE" he said, "the widest, full
est and freest investigation that the
whole world may know the truth"
He was asked do you desire TO have
included In the investigation the
charges made BY General MIles?"
The secretary replied: II do not dis
cuss my affairs with Gen. Miles With
the newspapers"

distribute the electricity through the
lap and butt weld Department. to about
twenty-five motors OF about forty horse
power each that will be near the var

HOW TO CARRY A PURSE.
III Carried in the Hand 1t Is a
Temptation to Thieves.

Most women have two or three bad
habits universal bad habit among
women just now seems To be their
propensity for carrying their pocket
books in their hands in the street. 1t
is good plan to wear a small gold
purse fastened to a bracelet The
temptation to the thief is great when
the purse is carried in the hand, and
how often We hear some such CONVEX
sation as this when We meet friends
after a shopping tour:
My dear. in plain sight right in the
middle of the sidewalk. a man ran into
me and tried to snatch the purse out
of my hand l held on Ia it as tight
as 1 could and so he didn't get it, but
1 have been all a-tTemble the rest of
the day because of the experience"
So look out tOT your purses. Your
pockets are inconvenient, you will say.
Get your pockets back in the place
where they belong. Put them as your
grandmothers did. underneath your
gown. You need be no more ashamed
To lift your skirt as they did than to
make the movement you do now in
hunting Tor your pOCkcI--Fhilndrlph

PROMISCUOTS KISSING.
ejaculation Is Denounced by a South
err Society Woman

Down in Atlanta, Ga. a tremendous
sensation has been created by the
charge that promiscuous kissing is a
growing evil in that city. Mrs. Joseph
Kingsberry. one of the wealthiest and
most prominent of Atlanta's society
leaders, has published a letter of
warning to the young women Of At
lanta," pointing out the evils of what
she now terms the latest fad i'm the
Gate City"
Mrs. Kingsberry alfudes to recent
instances where, il is alleged. young
society ladies have been kissed almost
openly at social functions, and adds.
by way Of appeal: Girls. what are
you thinking OF? Your names are men
toned, and you are laughed at by all
who know YOU and love You not
old persons may have kissed when
they were young" concludes Mrs.
kingsberry. but they have no use for
kissers around their daughters The
toe OF a boot may be brought into act
lev service some sweet day. go the
warning is to you, also, kissing young
man.
