ARMY AND NAVY WIVES.
women Who Conduct Themselves
DraveIy Their Husbands
60 to- the Front.

A Chicago woman who was in WASH
ington when Capt. Sigsbee, formerly
of the warship Maine, left to take COM
mand of the St. Paul, happened to be at
the railroad depot when he took the
train. The captain was accompanied
by the members OF his family and when
seer by the people at the station was
given hearty cheer. The captain
kissed the women of his family atfec-
tionately before he passed through the
gate for his train, but they made no
fearful demonstration. They looked
thoughtful, but apparently had them
selves under perfect control and re-
Trained from making even the slightest
suggestion of a scene. The Chicago
woman and some female friends who
were with her marveled at the quiet
parting and could not help commenting
on the scene.
''IIow can they let him go at all?"
they inquired of each other. After
what he has been through, saved from
death only by a miracle less than two
months ago, now can they see him de-
parting to face more danger without be-
ing simply out of their minds? If he
were my husband he shouldn't wo!"
The women who made these COM
ments did not bear in mind the fact that
this sort of self-res traint, which APP
peared so strange to them, is as a rule
the fruit of years of training on the part
of women whose male relatives are at
tached to the land or the sea forces of
the government. Self-control is bred in
the bone of army and navy women. In
no country in the world is there so
much service" intermarrying as there
is in the United States. There are eX
traordinary ramifications of relation
ship by marriage in the American army
and navy. The result of this is that
most of the women whose husbands, IA
theirs and brothers are now likely to
mix in the thick of the impending war
are thoroughly imbued with that spirit
of abnegation That animates the men.
They are subscribers to a code of nerve
of their own, and the very first clause of
this unwritten but all -pervasive code is
that it would be quite as weak-lneed
and cowardly for them to wilt in the
face of trouble as it would be for their
men to show the yellow. There is, of
course, no lack of womanly feeling on
| the part of the feminine members of the
households of American army and navy
| officers, but their whole environment is
such as to bring out the strongest com
| mon sense of which human beings are
| capable when the danger to their men
| becomes most imminent. Their spirit
is such that they would take shame
| unto themselves if they interjected any
whimperings into the preparations for
| departure of their men. -- Chicago

it we must. Can't one Of you think out
some plan?'
\ little conference of mother and
daughters was being held in the kitch-
en-. They wanted clothes, and that
soon. Here was summer coming on and
all OF their thin clothing was worn out
long before the last summer was over.
Something must be done to stop this
ravenous legal monster that was de-
vourng them.
II don't know as it'll work." replied
Mary, the youngest, but anyway we
might try it"
Try what?" cried MA" Walker.
"You know, ma, pa and Uncle Josh
always 90 to the cemetery Decoration
cay to fix up Uncle Charley's grave.
That's one of the last requests Grand
ma Walker made before she died. She
said Charley was her baby and she
wanted his grave always kept nice.
Before this lawsuit pa and Uncle Josh
always went together on Decoration
day to trim the bushes and fix the sod
and. put on the flowers, but now they go
by themselves. Pa always goes in the
afternoon and Uncle Josh in :he morn
ing, and each takes care of one siIe of
the grave. Maybe if we could get them
10 go al the same time, and have them
meet there without knowing il the re-
membranes might cause them to make
up again."
Il just believe it would, Mary, if we
could only do it, but your pas so set in
his ways that he wouldn't go at any
time he thought Uncle Josh would be
there, and Uncle Josh wouldn't go if
he thought he'd meet your pa. | don't
see how we could work it, Mary, they're
both that contrary" and MA" Walker
shook her head over The problem.
But, ma, couldn't we make Uncle
Josh believe pa was going in the morn
ing, or make pa believe Uncle Josh was
going in the afternoon" put IN Jane.
Now | never thought of that" and
Ma Walker beamed on her two daugh-
tcrs. 1T takes young heads for new
ideas, don't it. I'll just leave il for you
two girls to fix up. You've got Il way
OF gettin' round them two men | never

Strange and Interesting History OF
Count Libri's Acquired
Library.

Probably the most audacious and
successful book thief that ever lived
was Count Libri of Florence, who, emf
grating to France, became in 1912 sec
retary of a government commission to
examine and catalogue the books and
manuscripts in the many communal
libraries of the country. Availing him
self of his opportunities, of the care
lessness and ignorance of the custodi-
ans, and consummate knowledge of
the treasures unveiled to him, he quiet
ly and leisurely despoiled the Libraries
of hundreds Of their choicest manu-
scripts and most precious heirlooms,
carefully oblterating afterward all
signs that might lead to their identifica-
t,On.
How the collection thus acquired
came into the possession of the late
Lord AGhburnham; by what means
LiDri's robberies were afterwards dis
covered and traced back to him; to-
gethcr with the recent sale of the library
at a stupendous increase of price, and
the methods by which the French gov
ernment finally recovered a portion of
their long-lost treasures, form a most
remarkable and romantic chapter in lit
erary history.

GUNS SAVED FROM EROSION.
An Impc- 'rnf Invention In the Line
of G;.n Shells has Been Sue
ccssfuily Tested.

An official trial of a specially pre-
pared shot from Nickers Sons and Max
inns siX-inch quick-tiring gun was sue
cessfully carried out at Swdnley on
March 2S. The trial was of consider
able interest, as it is well known thai
after a gun has fired many hundreds
of rounds the velocteS fall off to some
extent. due to erosion and other causes.
The point of difference whereby this
proiectlle differed from others was that
an arrangement was screwed on the
base of the shell by which a specially
prepared ring was made to expand in
the erodcd portion of the bore, so as
20 overcome the injurious effect of ero-
sion, caused by smolleless powders, as
well as 10 prevent the shot being over
rammed should the bore be worn by
this or other causes.
The general principle of the gas
check depend upon the compression of
this specially constructed ring by an
annular copper ring, which conveys
pressure to the specifically construct
cd ring in such a manner that the spe-
cially constructed ring makes a per-
fectly metallic seal against the bore,
and completely prevents any gas at
high temperature and pressure pass
ing the base of the shot, and hence
does away with the principal cause of
erosion in guns.
Four rounds were fired with this
specially banded shot, and four with the
ordinary device shot, and it was found
that the whole of the energy of the
charge was utilized after upward of 250
rounds had been previously fired. The
actual ballistics obtained were 1904
feet a second for a pressure of 13 tons
with a 2j-pound charge of cOrdite. BY
increasing the charge by a moderate
amount and slightly increasing the in
itial chamber pressure a velocity of
29CO feet a second could reasonably be
expected.
1t is claimed that this simple device
is capable of being applied to almost
any design of shell at very moderate
cost, and by its application it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that guns after firing
many hundreds of rounds will De
equally efficient, as far as energy is
concerned, as a new gun.-London En-

DOORS CLOSED TO sCRIsEs.
The Navy Department Issues Order

Given to Newspapers.

The Navy Department Issues an Order
turtaiIing the supply of Information
Given to Newspapers.
Washington May l7.-An order post
ed Monday and signed by Secretary
Long relative to the publication Of
news emanating from the navy depart
ment had the effect of considerably
curtailing the supply of information
that heretofore has been rather freely
given ont. The secretary's order was
directed 10 Capt. Crowninshield, chief
of the navigation bureau, and he in
turn gave it effect by making an order
in his own name that no person con-
nected with his bureau in any capacity
should have any conversation whatever
upon subjects in any way pertaining
to the navy with representatives. of the
press. As an offset it was ordered that
bulletins of such facts as have actually
occurred and are proper for publica-
ton and are not connected with exist
ing or projected movements, shall be-
posted on the bulletin board.
The sum total of the information
published yesterday under this rule
was notice of the intention to start
the Philippine relief expedition and of
the permission given to some foreign
neutral vessels to pass the blockade at
Havana. In explanation of the issue
of this order the naval authorities say
that some of the leading American
newspapers have been SO far lacking
in patriotism as to print plans of cam
paign and projected movements of ma
val ships, with the result that the war
board has been obliged to completely
revise its plans. knowing that the
Spaniards had promptly taken notice
Of the publications and were prepared
to profit by them, Complaint was
made to Secretary Long that the news
papers were working injury to the gov
ernment in such cases.
The opening of the blockade at Ha-
vana to certain vessels is rather Curl
Gus proceeding that may lead to con-
sidera Bile widening of the blockade
itself. so that in the end neutral YES
sells not loaded with contraband or
supplies, the carrying of which into
Havana would interfere with the naval
and military operations laid down by
the United States, may be allowed to
inter the port.

AT the window, with my crutches, as the
daylight fades away.
I sit and watch the shadows meath the
hoary naples play:
1t Is then hear the music of bugle loud
and shrill,
And the long roll in the twilight seems to
come from yonder hill:
But awake or dreaming ever ! can see the
old blue lines,
And again the army marches-marches
underneath the pines.
With a tread that echoes ever in the vet
Grams heart to-day,
Marches still that grand old army, 'mong
the trees so far away:
And ! see its banners floating proudly
'Gainst the azure sky,
Just as though beneath my window it to-
DAY were passing by;
] can recognize the comrades touching ell
bows of yore,
with beautiful devotion that will live
forever more;
And the sun in cloudless heavens upon
blade and bay'net shines,
And the breeZes stir the pennons or the
army in the pines.
Sitting here l count the marches one can
never more forget,
I can see the cleaning camp-tires when
the stars their watch have set;
Yonder rides the graybeard colonel. with
a comrades smile for ALL
That morning in the wilderness, he was
the first to fall;
I remember how we laid him meath the
dark green branches low,
And turned to meet the charges of the ever
valiant foe;
/ seem to hear wars thunder as 1t rolled
along our lines,
Waking not the dear old colonel slecpin &
sweetly meath the pines.
But my crutches oft remind me that our
battle flags are furld
That where we fought the angel Peace pro-
claims to all the world
That love cements the sections and that
brothers true to-day,
Beneath the starry banner fair stand both
the Blue and Gray;
The roses bloom in beauty where we heard
the mad shells scream,
And southern lilies grow beside the squad
ron guarded stream,
And everywhere, this sacred day, love
gratefully entwines
A fragrant wreath in memory of the army
in the pines.
The sound of music thrills me; they are
coming down the street,
/ plainly hear upon the wind the tramp
of many feet:
With natures treasures beautiful they
march again to keep
Memorial day and crown the boys where
side by side they sleep;
Iney see me at the WlnuOW ana Sdlule me
they pass,
I lift my hand and smile on them, but very
soon they pass,
My old. old eyes grow misty and cannot
the lines,
: Though seem to hear the army once again
among the pines.
There's another army marching meath
the heavens soft and blue,
Its leaders are not many now, its privates
too, are few;
One by one they cross the river to the camT
where all is STILL
Where drums TO battle never beat and
bugles never thrill:
Memorial day grows sweeter as the long
years glide away,
And loving nature yields her gifts alike for
Blue and Gray;
And soon where the last veteran sleeps
will creep the summer vines,
And evermore will silent be the camps
among the pines.

traversed the four quarters of the
globe and has achieved reputation
as far reaching as his travels, has just
returned from the Philippine islands
via Hong Kong and San Francisco, to
rest a year with his parents in this
city. His latest distinction was in
successfully passing the Spanish Gus

plans of the city, the harhor, the for

armament, from Consul General Will
liams to Admiral Dewey. 1t was
dangerous proceeding, but Mr. Doherty
carried it to successful accomplish

The plans and drawings were CON

which was folded pinned up and

at Hong Kong early in April he deliv-

Dewey on the Olympia.
