THE report of Grand Recorder Clark
of the A. O. U. w. in Oregon is an en-
couraging document, showing the ben
efits accruing from the system of clas-
sifed assessments recently adopted by
the order in that state. The suspen-
sions OF the last year numbered only
249, against S64 the preceding year.
The receipts of the beneficiary fund
were $149,41236, and the disburse-
ments $143,579.33. The plan seems
to be working admiIably.-News

The army in Cuba is suffering many
inconvenience by the absence of the
mule, says the Boston Transcript.
Although an animal that is without
pride of ancestry or hope of posterity,
the mule is not to be spoken of with
disrespect. He is hard worker, and
feed HIM the night through with moth
ing more nutritious than wagon
tongue, and IN the morning he will
sing you a song that beats all the COM
ic songs you ever heard on the stage.
And he has his practical side, too.

by General Horace Porter, the team
sters in Geary's division got scared
and LETT the wagons. The mules head

men, thinking it a cavalry charge.

PIGEONS AS MESSENGERS.

Advantages of Their Use For the Rapid
Concentration of Naval Forces.
The twenty-third volume of pro.
ceedings of the United States Naval
institute has among it's contents sew
eral ably written papers on subjects
interesting to the navy. Lieutenant
e. w. Eberle contributes paper on
"Homing Pigeons as Messengers OF
the Fleet, in which he refers to the
advantages and practical workings
of a messenger pigeon service and
points out conditions under which it
may be used with advantage to the
feet. In his paper Lieutenant Eberle
says:
From its geographical surround
ings Key West will become our most
important pigeon station on the At
lantic, and Port Townshend, which
controls the strait of Fuca and en-
trance to PNget sound, will be the
most important on the Pacific. Port
Townshend station can control
the entire entrance to the west
ern possessions of Great Britain,
and this would prove of great value
in the event of hostilities with that
country.
"The rapid concentration of naval
forces at the point of attack or the
movement of forces to intercept the
enemy is only made possible when
we have system by which we can
communicate rapidly with the shore
station from long distances at sea,
and the messenger pigeon service is
the only system by which we can
obtain such communication. This
service might be called, very appro-
priately, sea telegraph system,
and although its messages cannot be
dispatched with the speed and abso-
lutte certainty of the telegraph yet
the system has the advantage of
forwarding its messages from any
position within definite limits, and
therefore it is not necessary to seek
the telegraph station in order to
send message.
I'm the event of hostilities many
more messages than those given in
the above illustrations would be
sent in order to insure the receipt of
important information, and if only
one of the many little messengers
should arrive in time to enable our
feet to maneuver so as to engage
the enemy before he could infict
appalling destruction of life and
property upon some one of our sea-
ports, then this service would prove
itself most valuable to the govern
ment and we'll worth the small an
nual sum required to maintain its
efficiency.
1T requires but one practical IL
lustration to strike home and to
open our eyes to the merits of this
service. Let a single human life be
saved from shipwreck in a time of
peace or let one maneuver of the en-
emy's feet be frustrated in the
midst of war by the timely arrival
Of one of these swift winged, trusty
little carriers with its urgent mes
sage, and all the country will ap-
plaud the result and will realize the
value of messenger pigeon service
upon the seas baltimore Sun.

Baltimore. March 9.-Two Of the stu

Of attending a matinee performance at
one of the theaters Of this city.
The rules Of the college are strict. es-
pecially in regard TO theatergoing. This
is especially the case with the students
who live at the college homes.
These students are requested to sign
paper, upon matriculation, stating that
they will conform themselves to the rules
of the college. The case Of the young
girls in question is being kept very quiet.
A number of students who had heard Of
their companions infringement Of the
rule had hoped that no member Of the
faculty would hear OF the little episode
consequently the real facts in the case
are known by but few persons. Bota Of the
students in question are living at one Of
the college homes, and. consequently, they
will have but little grounds for eNtenua-
ton.
The statement that two Of the students
had transgresesd the rules Of the school
was made yesterday by Rev. DR.. J. b.

RAPID WORK AT BROOKLYN.
Rush Orders From the Department

New York, March 9.-There was much
activity in the Marine Barracks. at the
Brooklyn navy yard yesterday Orders
had been received from Washington to
prepare two detachmeuts Of marines for
the Minneapolis and Columbia. There
was much rivalry Tor the honor of being
chosen.
All of the guns from Washington for
the auxiliary cruisers and the Chicago
and Atlanta which arrived at the yard on
Monday. have been placed in building No.
9. which is an iron structure near the
stone dry dock. The shipment consisted
of thirty-two new high-pressure rapid
firing guns. a few of them will be plac-
ed on the dispatch boat Dolphin. Twelve
and 6-inch gun mounts, OF the lat
est make, were also received at the yard.
Another shipment of guns is expected to-
day.
Constructor BowIes has engaged
force of forty additional men, mainly
calkers. to rush work on the dispatch
boat Dolphin. The hull of the boat has
been painted and men are at work on the
rigging The vessel will be ready for the
crew on March q.
Two details consisting of eight men
were sent from the Vermont yesterday
to join the crew of the torpedo boa, Foote

Those who are acquainted with the

that the Bureau of Ordnance desires the
