According to the United States laws, the

no occasion 20 exercise this last regula-
ton, as no case of its violation was ever
reported
1t is permissible for the army to levy
temporary loans or impose taxes, or billet
soldiers, in an invaded country.
In 1874 all the countries of Europe held

was not present and is not bound by these
rules, but they are practically identical

then, too. sMr and Mrs Harry Payne
Whitney have taken up their residence at
Aiken, and done all that filial sympathy
could suggest to alleviate the conditions IN
that sorrowful Southern home.
1t is William c. Whitney who suffers.
His friends say that his face has grown
haggard since calamity fell upon his
household, He finds the presence Of has
son a great comfort and help. In relieN-
Ing his father of many business details,
Harry Payne Whitney has left him at lib
erty to spend nearly all his time al tie
bedside of his wife, and carry out lavishly
conceived projects to give her the best
scientific help.
As it is. Mrs. Whitney enjoys the ex-
elusive care of an expensive staff of ply
sicians. who have been induced to sus-
pend practice i'm New York that they may
be near her; but that does not satisfy MIR.
Whitney. A little while ago he conceiv-
ed the idea that his wife would enjoy a
better chance of recovery if she could be
removed to New York. Elaborate prepar-
atoms were made TO render this possible.
Mr. Whtney's luxurious private car was
fitted up for a sick room, under the d-
rection of the physicians. Then, in order
that the invalid might be moved into it
with ease a section of the side of the
car was cut out in such a way that ii
could be replaced without difficulty.
But deeper study convinced all concern
ed that the problem of removing the pa
tent with perfect safety remained TO be
solved, and the project was abandoned.
Hence it happens that the mistress of
what will be, when it is completed, one of
the most luxurious residences in New
YORK, rs unable to reach it. Workmen
are busy on the new Whitney establish
ment at Sixty-eghth street and Fifth ave-
nue.. Its interior will probably be unrival-
cd for splendor throughout the length of
Fifth avenue, and it will have the largest
private ball room in New York.
IL was in honor of his wife that William
c. Whitney began the construction of this
mansion. Whether she will ever become
its chatelaine is a question which is excit-
ing the sympathetic interest of society.

HORANOPOTTER STACPOLE
FORMERLY MAJOR OF TENTH
ALBANY BATTALION.
His Connection with the National
Guard of New York has Long Been
Brilliant and Active One.

Tall and straight as an arrow, of
Il goodly six feet, and with most
soldierly and commanding appear
ance, Lieutenant Colonel Horatio
Stacpole looks every inch of him the
soldier that he is. Governor Black,
in appointing Inn to the lieutenant CO.
lonelcy of the First New York regi-
ment, paid a fitting compliment to his
thirty-one years of faithful service in
the National Guard of hs native state.
Colonel Stacpole is 40 years of age,
and was born in Albany, n. Y, where
he has resided ever since. On the 9th
of May, 1867, he enlisted as a private
in Company b of the Tenth Battalion
of Albany. Ten years later he was
elected captain of the same company
and served in that capacity for four
teen years, when he was chosen major
of the famous battalion. He held this
office when the war broke out. but re-
signed to accept the lieutenant colo
nelcy of the First New York, mas
much as the entire Tenth battalion.
composed of Companies \, b, and D
all of Albany, were selected by Gov
ernor Black to form the First battal-
lull vi ilt reg lllltill lOW mere. OOlOlltl
Stacpole's connection with the Ma
tional Guard of New York has been a
brilliant one. and to his own personal
endeavors is largely due the high state
of efficiency of that guard. The
Tenth battalion is considered the fin
est military organization in the state.
Company b was organized in 1854,
Company \ in 1860 and Companies C
and ID shortly afterward. During the
war the Tenth battalion was known
as the One Hundred and Seventy
seventh volunteers of the Tenth Reg
iment. but resumed its old name af-
ter being mustered out of the service,
and Colonel Stacpole declares that if
the four companies are spared to re-
turn to their native state they will
again be known as the famous and
reliable Tenth battalion of Albany.

ment is announced of Miss Virginia
Fair, daughter of the late Senator
Fair, of California, and sister Of Mrs
Herman Oelrichs, of this city, to Mr.
William X. Vanderbilt, Jr.. eldest son
of William K. Vanderbilt.
The announcement has caused quite
a fiutter in New York's exclusive set
as 1t had been thought that young Van
derbilt would follow in the footsteps
of his sister, now the Duchess OF Marl-
borough, and seek for his bride on a
foreign shore. With the fortune OF
the bride and the prospects of the
bridegroom as the son of one of the
richest men in the world. there will be
a blending of wealth and love in Cheir
marriage never before heard of. Young
Vanderbilt is but 20 years of age, and
is Harvard student. Miss Fair is
three years his senior.

Do Males Predominate2

An eastern newspaper claims to have
observed a curious fact. 1t has set on
loot an investigation to ascertain il it
is true that in, all births OF the past
TWO months male infants predominant.
This state of affairs, psychologists in
sist, Is the direct result of the war feel
ing which has swept over the country
in the last year. From investigation
80 far by the journal in question, it is
said that the predominance of male in
fants is an undisputed fact, and in an
effort to learn IL the same condition
prevails throughout the country, it has
asked for the statistics in this city.
This is not the only queer effect
which 1t is believed that war has pro-
dnced on the human race. 1t is claim
ed that a recurrence of feeling of
pugnaclty in the human race in vari-
GUS countries every thirty years is due
to the fact that the great bulk of the
population is about 30 years old at the
Lime and was born in the midst of the
previous war 1t is argued from this
