Advantages of Losing Temper.

AT football all manner of men have
played at the ends of the rush line-an
ideal man would be a composite of all
the other men on the team. He would
be about five feet ten in height and
would weigh about 165 or 16s. He
would have the speed of a half, the
quiclSness of quarter, the bulldog
pluck and nerve of guard, and the
brain of a captain. In addition TO all
these (and contrary to the opinions of
most people, he would have a quick
temper. There is nothing in football
nor indeed in any form of athletics in
compatible with a little of the "Oll
Adam" nor is there anything like
anger to put life and fire into a tired
man late in hard-fought game One
can be as angry as he may and still be
a gentleman. Temper, properly direct
ed and controlled, will add fercencss
TO ones tackles, speed to his running,
and strength to his blocking, as moth
ing else on earth will do, and many the
captains there are who. knowing this
have stirred up their wearied men with
harsh words of command which they
themselves realized were unmerited
simply to make their teams work hard
er and faster.-College Athlete.

REGULARS FOR GARRiSONS
Duty Which Has Become Obnoxious to the
Volunteers.
The President Expected to Recon-
mend an Increase in the Army
Use of Natives Suggested.

The request of the list Colorado Infantry
to be returned from Manila to the United
States cannot be granted by the War De-
partment. 1t was stated by officers of the
army today that such requests have been
frequent from soldiers OF volunteer organi-
cations. who enlisted to fight, but do not
relish garrison duty. The desire of this
regiment to return home is similar to the
desire of other volunteers, and 1t is re-
garded perfectly natural that these men
want to return to their homes and their
usual vocations, rather than serve some
what listlessly in garrfsoning towns in dis
tant countries. Nothing can be done, it is
SAID, until Congress meets and provides for
some Kind of a force to take the places of
the volunteers.
The subject of reorganizing the army
with a view to securing adequate force
for the new possessions of the United
States has already received the serious con-
sideration of the President, the Secretary
of War and officers of the army. The Pres
ident will make recommendations to Con-
gress on this subject, embodying his views
and the views of those who are in position
to give him the very best advice.
Proposed Increase of the Army
1t is probable that the President will rec
ommend an increase of the regular army
to something like 100000 men, although this
is enough. There has also been some talk
of eniisting for garrison duty two COM
panies or a battalion of natives to each
regiment doing garrison duty in Cuba, Por-
to Rico and the Philippines. 1t is believed
by this method a considerable portion of
the restless population of the islands. and
especially those who have borne arms in
the insurgent or Spanish armies. might be
USefully employed. 1t is conceded by Off
GERS of the army that the duties devolvng
upon the troops under the new order of
things cannot be satisfactory to volunteers.
and that an army will have to be raised,
which will go where it is sent without
complaints of any kind.
Men who enlist in the regular army here
after will understand that they are likely
to be called upon at any time to go out of
the country and to do garrison duty in dis
tant lands for long periods. 1t is believed
that the demands which have been made
upon senat tors and representatives for the
muster out of volunteer regiments and the
discharge of volunteers in regiments which
have remained in the service have been so
great that they will be convinced that reg
ular troops are absolutely necessary for
garrison duty in the new possessions.

torney Henry E. Davis heard ths state
ments of himself and others, and de-
cided that the alleged course of the

Mr.. Edwards stated today that while en-
deavoring to secure possession of Leach's
trunk by means of a writ of replevin is
sued by Justice l.. c. Strider, Mrs. Crosby

REFERRED TO ATTORNEY,
Questions Affecting Building ReSu-
IntiOns and Private Rights


Mr. w. P. Kellogg several days ago
called the attention of the District to a per-
nit issued by the building inspector for a
stable on lot u, block 6, in Commissioners
subdivision of Washington Heights, it be-
ing claimed by Mr. Kellogg that the per-
nit was granted in violation of the building
regulations. He also stated that a wall
has been constructed on the lot which pro-
jects into and occupies a part of the side
walk.
The matter was referred to Capt Beach,
thu Engineer Commissioner, upon whose
recommendation 1t was then referred to the
attorney for the District for full opinion
In recommending the reference of the
matter to the attorney, Captain Beach in
dorsed the complaint, stating the provi-
slons of the building regulations to be
the line of demarcation between the pub
lie and private space" ard saying: Il would
recommend that the paper be referred to
the attorney for opinion TO whether the
District can. and should take account Of
the private building line referred to, which
is established simply by an arrangement
or agreement between private parties and
whether the building inspectors office is
required to recognize the line in the issue
of permits.
THE Commissioners subdivision of
Washington Heights. lying between Florida
avenue. 18th street, Columbia road and
18th street. occupies unique position in
the District. in that the building restric-
ton line was laid down by the court when
tition of the owners.
"Opinion is therefore requested concern
ing the extent to which the office should
observe this building restriction line and
A full opinion upon the relation of the Office
to these cases is advisable"

GENERAL MARKET REPORT

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star
NEW YORK, November 1.-The unsatis-
factory outlook in anthracite coal circles
was the incentive to considerable selling
throughout the coal group this morning
Delaware and Hudson. for special reasons
and the neighboring anthracite coal-carry-
ing reads. were easily depressed under the
&C Cmbined influence of liquidation and short
selling.
The professional side of the market was
more pronounced than yesterday. and is
expected to remain so until after the cleo
tions.
For a time there was an effort to CON
tinue the upward movement I'm the spe-
calties. but partial and temporary success
alone resulted. new high level was
made in tobacco under a continued de-
mand from inside sources. but later I'm the
day a decline of more than : per cent was
recorded. Rumors of legal protest agaius:
the transfer of the company's plug busl-
ness to an Independent corporation were
used to assist the depression.
The almost uninterrupted advance to %
per cent was alone sufficient reason FOR at
tracing sales of both long and short stock
The future course of the property and he
numerous rivals of recent birth is as mys-
terious and doubtful as ever. Conse-
quently, the public interest I'm Tobacco is
limited In very considerable degree to its
probable influence on the general list.
The Federal Steel issues. particularly the
preferred stock, made some headway for a
time. the advance in the latter extending
TO l per cent from yesterdays prices.
The declines elsewhere gave the market
such ragged appearance that these shares
yielded TO some profit-takng on specul ltive
holdings.
These reactions met a rather good inside
demand, however, ard ths dividend pros
pect Is kept well to the front as the chief
item OF support
The beginning of melting operations on
the part of the new Doscher refinery and
the statement that the production of re-
fined sugars is already in excess Of the
new selling Of the American companys
stock.
This stock has been given a relative ap-
peararce of strength as the result of COW
er1ng during the last few days. but there
Is small reason for attributing the buying
to a desire for permanent ownership.
Manhattan was bought in fair volume,
the price responding easily to the demand.
The advance in these shares is almost
invariably accompanied with rumors of
change either in ownership or motive
power. Both results are regarded as among
the more likely remote prospects for i'm
provement.
The Granger shares were not active and
reflected the professional, hesitating char
acter of the general market.
The bond market keeps strong under a
good investment demand, and is Just now
more indicative of confidence than is the

London's celebration of All Saints day
contributed moderately to the local dull
