of the army Is following close upon
the cessation of hostilities. Notably
Is this the case In the ordnance, quar-
termaster and engineer bureaus,
where the need for the supplies re-
quired and the men employed for tie
exigencies of war no longer exists. In
the ordnance bureau the force at the
various arsenals Is to be reduced In
all cases where this can be accom-
plished without detrlmcnt to the crr-
vice. The Rock Island arsenal prob
ably will be affected more than any
other. There, before the war, about
24O men We're employed. When the
peace protocol was signed there We're
approximately 1000 men engaged,
and orders have been issued which
will reduce this number two-thirds.
The quartermaster's department Is
dispensing, as rapidly ns possihie,
with such of the transports ms Were
chartered and for which there is now
no necessity. Considerable labor is
involved In this work, ns board Of
survey has to be appointed to deter
mine the various incidental questions
that arise pending the return of the
vessels to their owners.
In the engineers department the
services of electricians, mechanics
and laborcrs engaged in the work of
harbor and river mine defense and of
boatmen employed TO patrol the ada
cent waters to warn approaching
craft of their danger, also are being
discharged as rapidly as is consistent
with the good of the service.

MUST NOT KILL GAME.
Indians VIII lie Prevented From Hunting
In Wyoming.

Cheyenne. Wyo., Aug. 19.-Governor
Richards to-day wrote TO the secretary
OF the Interior, asking that the Sioux
Indians he prohibited by their agents
from hunting In Wyoming. For several
years these Indians have been making
hunting lncursions into Converse coun-
ty, killing antelope and other large
game. The county authorities Will not
go TO the expense OF arrcsilng and
prosecuting them, and the state is de.
slrous OF having the hunting parties
kept out of the state entirely.
w. c. Pyle. deputy game warden OF
Fremont county, reports that he has
been given "A force OF Indian police.
and Will go TO the head OF Wind river
TO send back hunting parties OF Ban
nocks, pcaccably II possible, but with
force II necessary. II " believed the
Indians VIII go 10 their reservation
without trouble.

ua,f.D,y schools.

The plan of halliday sessions has
been adopted in some Michigan
schools, In order to relieve the over
crowding of children. Objection tn
the plan has been made on the ground
of Its deprivlng the children of half
their allotted opportunity for the ac-
QUESTION of knowledge, but the reports
of schools, when 1t has been tried, are
conclusive as to its great advantages,
as well as to the fact that In the long
run the children learn quite as much
as they do in the double session. Que
superintendent reports that in every
school where the single session has
been adopted, the children, besides
making just rs good progress as those
In the double-fashion departments,
have n freshness and vigor unknown
before; their discipline is far less diff

REMARKABLE TOWNS.


Ono In England That Is Made Of Railway
Carriages.
Scattered throughout the area Of
Great Britain are numerous towns and
villages of a curious character. One
large village actually consists Of old
railway carriages, even the little mis-.
sion chapel being built out of four large
horse trucks. Another village, with a
population of, 1, 100 and ratable value
of es,oCO, has neither church, chapel
nor school, the only public editice being
pillar letter box.
Villages with single inhabitant are
not unknown. At Skiddaw, in Cumber-
land, there is a solitary householder
who cannot vote because there is 10
overseer to prepare voters list and no
church Or other public, building on
which to publish one. while the only
ratepayer i'll certain rural Northum-
berland parish has recently declined to
bear the expense of repairing road be-
cause he considers it quite good enough
for himself.
In the isle Of Ely there is q little
parish which has been somewhat con-
temptuously described as "a portion Of
land, with three or four houses and per-
haps IL inhabitants. p" This place has
no roads at all and is consequently put
to no expense in keeping them in repair.
AS matter of faet, there are no ex-
penses of any kind and no rates.
One of the most remarkable villages
in this country is Kempton, near Bed
ford, which is seven miles long and ex-
tremely struggling. To walk from one
end of the village to the other occupies
two hours
Sometimes whole villages will prac-
tically disappear. A little Shropshire
village has gradually sunk, until now
it il almost cut Of sight 1t is built OH
disused coal Pit, and the sinking goes
on steadily every year. Now and then
lettering house is propped up to keep
it standing, but in spite of all precau.
tons buildings are constantly falling to
tho ground and in course of time doubt
less nothing will be left but few
bricks to mark tho spot where village
once stood
Their AFRO plenty of deserted villages
tirCuEEout the country. a diversion of
trade into other channels is sometimes
sufficient to produce this effect. Not
MANY years ago the proprietors of an
iron works at townlct near Sheffield,
being unable to obtain certain conces-
sions from a railway company, removed
their works. short afterward half the
place was to let, and the windows of
many Of the houses were boarded up

How Some Reporters Are Tod to Work.

How Some Reporters Are Tod to Work.
The copy book phrase, 1.-THE pen is
mightier than the sword" has given
! The Spectator some serious thoughts.
What big game have not our modern
Nimrods hagged BY this bloodless in
strument Of spaliation-as by crooked
bookkeeping, by forging notes, by rob-
Der telephone charges, by the creation
of fictitious capital for. grinding out of
the people usurious gains! Likewise tho
pencil and notebook Of the reptfter are
now become more fearsono to personal
and domestic ,privacies than ever was
the sword to ancient sanctuaries, safe.
guarded as they wero by tho awe Of
deities now dead.
The Spectator has not found in litcra-
ture a more lifelke smile than Isaiahs
comparison of jerusalem hesiesed to "a
lodge i'll garden If cucumbers." How
the runners lay hold Of every point and
poke into every crevice! Thus the pro-
fessional quidnuncs besiege the mansion
where hides the object Of the public
news hunger. Like death, they knock
impartially at cottage and at palace
doors. Has anybody called the occupant
hereto: What has ne to say for him
self? Is the League For Lauding Lovely
Ladies proposing to make his grand
mother public fixture in marsle?
What are his objections? Has scandal
suiirched some erring child whom the
family would screen? Pump the serv-
ants the neighhors, fer fart or fiction
about it. Prohibited now aro the pill
Tory, tho stocks, the public hanging, but
tho debased appetite turns for its food
to the reporters pencil. What the Ro-
man sage said in time of tyranny the
wise now say in this tyrunuous pub
licity, ale has lived well who has cs-
capped notice. Outlook.
