.r..,t Work for Anyone but an Itallsni
and Kicks Every American. {
over on Gull Island, where the foun-.
dations for the big guns are being pre-
uored and where work, work, work, is
t E order day and night, the rigid rules
- the contractors and government in
Onoctors are sometimes relaxed for q
Sow moments and laughter goes the
rounds of the workmen, born Of the
drolleries and wit of the Irish laborers
ot the expense of the diggers from the
shores of sunny Italy. There are about
0oo workmen on the island, and when
off duty, which for the main part is
10 sleep and eat, few minutes of roll
licking are enjoyed.
On the island engaged in the work
ore two animals, among the others,
which have acquired a reputation. One
&c q mare and is called Kate Church.
The other is a mule and has been
dubbed the Spanish mule" Kate
church has a morbid dislike for an
italian, and as soon as one comes in,
her vicinity she kicks up her heels,
neighs in disappearing horse manner,
and acts generally in an erratic man
ner.
The Spanish mule is well named.
Evidently the work on the fortifica-,
tons is not to his liking, and his SYM.
pathies are strongly with the Spanish
and the darker-hued diggers Of the
soil, the Italians. Only an Italian can
work about him, and as soon as a light
er-compIexioned workman draws near
out go his heels in an endeavor to raise
the object of his dislike into the air.
One of his enemies was reached yes
terday, and the workman sustained q
severe bruise on his limb. 1t was so
painful that he had to knock off work
and return to New London for treat
ment.
The antipathics of the two animals for
each other is extraordinary, and is typ
ical of the relation of the workmen
from Italy and those of America
Whenever a chance affords to have a
little fun with the italian it is taken adj
vantage of and a general laugh results.
The only desire of the friends of Kate
Church now is to get the dark-faced
men near Kate's heels so the mares
prOwess in that direction can be re-
allied by the hackers of the Spanish
mule" who kicked the Irishman.-New

NOT DOING THE WORRYING.

Conditions Where a Partner Thinks He
Ought to Put in More Capital.
81 have made discovery" said Mr..
Billtops, land that is that there is like
ly to be some one person in a house
hold that does all the worrying. There
may be others that fret, and very like
ly fret over trifling things, but the real
worrying over things that have got
to be done and got to be looked after
is usually all done by one person.
The person that does the worrying in
my house is Mrs. Billtops. The chill
dren and myself and all hands lean
on her and expect her to do every
thing. 1 don't know, but 1 sort Of
think that we expect her to provide
things whether we have any money or
not, and she certainly does seem to
make everything come out all right
somehow. Now, as a rule, among
men the man who does the worrying
gets paid for it. He is usually the
man at the head of an enterprise, or q
concern, or department, or whatever
it may be, who is able to do the work
and willing to take the care and re-
sponsibility of it. Those under him
may pile their cares up on him, and
he shoulders them-many a man-eas-
lily. There are, thank goodness, plenty
of men that don't shy at responsible
ity. But those men get paid for what
they do and Mrs. Billtops does not,
unless she counts my appreciation as
something. The children don't realize
what she does; they expect it. And
as for me, the silent partner, if l
don't stand up and take the knocks l
think 1 ought at least to put in more
capital. New York Sun.

war. The taste of blood that converts
the tanned tiger into a sanguinary NOM
ster has pretty much the same effect
upon civilized and Christian man. The
latter, 1t is true, makes his onslaughts
under certain rules and regulations,
and gives quarter to his PROSTATE and
bleeding foe. But let the war last long
enough, and even the chivalry and
mercy that should mitigate It's horrors
will at last be forgotten. The true
way to prevent long war is to make
a strong war. Every overwhelming
blow is mercy stroke. In a short time
combat, when one party has no hope of
victory, he cries enough, and as it is
with man the individual, so it is with
aggregates Of men. The policy, the
true Christian policy, in war is to smite
irresistibly and then tender the olive
branch with brotherly hand.

Fatal nTiRtnke.

In London there is profession which
is unknown in New York. White men
put on burnt cork, and with a banjo,
guitar or tambourine give street min
strel performances. From London they
have gone all over the United King
dom, very much as the organ grinder
traverses this country. These worthy
people caused indirectly much trouble
a short time ago. A reception and
dinner were given to Hindoo prince
by a wealthy merchant Of Russell
square. The guests assembled and
waited, but no prince and retinue APP
peared Finally the host grew impa-
tient, and the dinner, costly banquet,
was served and greatly enjoyed by the
other guests. When the last Of the
party had left the host said to the ser
want who had charge of the door: did
the prince send any messenger while
we were dining?" mo, sir" answered
the domestic, mo one called at all, ex-
cepting five niger minstrels, and them
I told to go about their business!''-

roo SIGNALS FOR TRAINS.
Invention of an EnglIshman for which
Great Claims Are Made.

Invention of an EnglIshman for which
Great Claims Are Made.
A fog-signaling apparatus, which
seems to have realized the ideal aimed
at by inventors for many years, is
shortly to be put on the market by a
company. 1t was conceived and first
tried in a humble back yard at CHS
wick, but has since been on trial on
the railway lines at Wimbledon and
Chaplain. ''The patent fog-signaling
apparatus" said a man connected with
the new invention, "is, as far as we
can see, an ingenious and practicable
application of an idea in which former
workers have failed. It is automatic
and electric and Of comparatively sim
pie construction. 1t consists of large
wheel placed at the side of the line
near station, and containing round
its circumference thiTty-two barrels,
each holding two cartridges. A second
rail laid down near the apparatus is
depressed by the passing train, and,
in its turn, pulls back and then re-
leases a hammer, which strikes a cap
and explodes two cartridges. By means
of a rod attached the machine is au-
tomatically reset when the train has
passed and the hammer returns into
position to fire the next barrel. It is
connected by electricity with the sig
nails, and the man in the box can set
or disconnect it by touching button.
The disconnection is worked by a
magnet, which draws down the ham
mer, and prevents firing. Moreover, a
teil-taIe ia the box shows the signal
man exactly when the train fires the
cartridges, and if the line is clear
he presses a button, which rings a
gong close to the engine. The train
can thus proceed without loss of time,
and often without slackening. Lon

Saving the Day,

A story is told of Admiral Sieard
when at Yorktown, with his feet for
drills and maneuvers. A force was
to land and capture an inland railroad
base against defense force of little
more than half its size. The two COM
manders of these forces were discuss
ing before the admiral the details, and
each contended that the other would
have superior advantages. The admir-
al. after puzzling over how the differ
ences might be adjusted, finally said:
Gentlemen, it is evident that the mat
ter can be reconciled in only one way.
Suppose you swap forces and fight the
other way" The battle was fought
on the original plan.-New York Trib-
une.

John Dickinson of San Antonio, Tex,
registered at Wizards last night, and
then commented on a prevailing hotel
custom. 'The minute that 1 write
IeXas' after my name people insist on
calling me colonel. Now, l am an ev-
ery-aay travelling man, hardly 40 years
OF age, and don't get to my home in
0an Antonio three times a year. But
every hotel clerk from Tucson to Ken
neDunkport calls me colonel as soon as
ne sees my signature. The bellbOys
follow suit, and so do the walters. They
seem to think that every Texan is
colonel, with his pockets full of pis-
tois and his mouth full of fine cut. In
tne same way they seem to think that
every Kansan is a farmer and every
Cltizen OF Colorado is miner. Wash.

John Hancoelr.

During the siege of Boston, General
Washington consulted congress upon
the propriety of bombarding the town
of Boston. Mr.. Hancock was then pres
ident Of congress. After General
Washington's letter was read a SOL
emn silence ensued. This was broken
by a member making motion that
the house should resolve itself into a
committee of the whole in order that
Mr.. Hancock might give his opinion
upon the important subject, as he was
deeply interested from having all his
estate in Boston. After he left the
chair he addressed the chairman of the
committee of the whole in the follow
ing words: at is true, sir, nearly all
the property I have in the world is
in houses and other real estate in the
town of Boston, but if the expulsion
of the British army from it, and the
liberties Of our country require their
being burned to ashes, issue the order
for that purpose Immediately"

Long Wars.

It is argued by many philosophical
writer's of the day that there never
again can be long war. The facilities
of modern communication, the i'm
provements in arms, and, above all,
the mighty interests of modern COM
merce, forbid, in the opinion of these
writer's, the possibility Of such a de-
plorable event. Let us devoutly hope
that the conclusion is just. Human
passions, however, when thoroughly
aroused, cannot readily be governed by
rules Of policy.
1t will not do, however, to trust too
much to modern civilization as a pre-
ventive of protracted and vindictive

The Character Of the soldier.


1t is a matter of congratulation that
the character of the United States ar
my has much improved within the past
few years.
The standard for admission has been
raised, and this particularly in the gen.
eral appearance and personal habits
of the enlisted men. There is no rea-
son why the army should not be COM
posed entirely of high-class men. Sure
ly Uncle Sam is not reduced to the ne
cessity of taking up all sorts Of ma
terial and trying to make it into SOL
diers. If it is necessary to maintain
a standing army, that army should be
remarkable for quality as well as guam
tity. 1t would be an excellent plan to
establish in various localities training
schools for the rank and file of the
army-schools where boys could be
brought up under the watchful eye OF
competent instructors. These nurser-
les might be filled with boys without
homes-those who are orphans, or,
worse than that, with parents who re-
fuse them proper support and care.
Military discipline is an exceedingly
healthful regime for young persons. 1t
may be a little severe at times, but
the results are salutary in the extreme.
A habit of obedience to orders is one
of the most important requirements,
and even though upon arriving at
suitable age the boy was found not
quite fit for active service, there are
many channels into which he might be
drifted where he might find suitable
and lucrative employment. At all
events, he would be educated in the
elementary branches, and would have
a hopeful and helpful knowledge Of
some of the higher studies. He would
be well bred, courteous, prompt and
energetic, as these qualities would be
| the legitimate result Of his training.
| Except in times of war excitement,
like the present, our home troops play
a conspicuous part in the possibilities
of the nations defense. 1t is, however
we'll agreed by all practical persons
| that a reasonable number of regular
troopers is absolutely necessary. The
! United States is able to maintain
creditable army, and surely there is
no lack of material out of which to
make it. 1t is a curious experience,
however, to spend some time in re-
'cruiting office. The army does not
want men who enlist simply for the
sake of rations and place to sleep,
but a great many men visit these Of
fees in the hope of being taken just
because the life of soldier is better
than occasional nights in station
house.
If the common soldier got a little
more pay and a little better quarters
no doubt better class of men would
apply for enlistment, but the compen.
sation seems very small to them, ever
though it may be more than they ge
above their living when they are en-,
gagged in other occupations.

Major Has a Word.


WELL" said the major, as he sawed
off plank for his political platform,
they may talk war, and talk war,
but-here's one Teller who won't be
in it! The war between the states was
enough for me. 1t cost me fortune"
"In property, major?"
"No, sir, in cold cash. You see my
family had the measles when the war
broke out, and l had to stay at home
and nurse 'em."

"But l was so patriotic"
"Of course"
THAT employed a substitute at So

"And when they killed him"
"You hired another?"
Eyes, sir, did"
"And they killed him, too?"
mo! and that's where I lost my
money. The Internal fool fought for
three solid years without a scratch. He
was in the worst battles of the war,
but not bullet struck him. They took
him prisoner, but exchanged him i'm
mediately, and the blamed idiot went
to fighting again at SO day. And
when the war ended he turned up all
serene and demanded the remainder OF
his money. You see, had paid his
wife a good deal of it in monthly in
stallments, but l still owed him big
balance, and as 1 wanted to keep the
thing as quiet as possible l had to
shut up and pay up; and the fool
charged me interest for the time I'd
had it on hand, and wouldn't take con-
federate money, either! Down with
war! is what say. It's the ruination
Of me. John, pass the jug. Atlanta
