Captain BOrrOws's Return.


The New York Sun tells this pathet-
ic story of the landing of Captain Hal
lett Alsop Borrowe, the famous Rough
Rider, who arrived in New York on the
0livette on Sunday: When the Oil
yette was ten miles off shore, on the
ocean side of the Point, there was an
interesting illustration of the efficiency
of the Pennsylvania Signal Corps men
who do the wig-wagging for this camp.
Mrs. Austin Corbln and her daughter,
who is Mrs. Borrowe, came down here
this morning from Shinnecock Hills
on special train. The last they heard
of Captain Borrowe he was in pretty
bad shape, and they were exceedingly
anxious about him. When the Oil
yette was sighted early this morning
Mrs. Corbin asked Superintendent c.
A. Beach, Of the Long Island Rail-
road, whether there was any way in
which something could be learned Of
Captain Borrowe's condition. Mr..
Beach thought of the signal men, four
miles away, and he rang them up on
the telephone. The signal men said
that the transport was too far off shore
for signals to be read. But when they
heard that it was Mrs. Borrowe and
Mrs. Corbin who were anxious for
news, and remembered the work of
Captain Borrowe and his dynamite
gun in Cuba, they said they'd get at
that transport if it was possible thing.
The surf was not running very high,
so four of the signal men borrowed a
surfboat from the saving station,
launched it successfully, and were soon
within a couple of miles of the Olivette
which then was proceeding very
slowly. One of them stood up in the
bow Of the boat and wig-wagged a
query as to Captain Borrowe's eondi-
ton. The answer came back that he
was very i'll, but had improved since
he left Cuba. He was in no danger at
present, read the message. This glad
some news was wig-wagged to the shore
when the signal men could get near
enough to be seen, and was sent over
the hills by the signal men to their
station, where il was delivered to Mrs.
GORDON. The whole transaction con-
sumed but an hour and quarter.
By special permission Of General
Wheeler, Captain Borrowe was remov-
ed from the Olivette tonight and
taken to Shinnecock Hills on a special
train. He is in very bad shape. He
has malarial fever. His life was des-
paired of during the trip. He bright
ened up bit when he saw his wife and
Mrs Corbin. Mrs. BorrOwe knelt on
the railroad platform beside her hus-
band, and, with her arms around his
neck, talked to him as long as the
physicians would allow her to. Both
Mrs. Corbin and Mrs. BoFrowe wept
as they gazed on the emaciated form Of
the latter's husband. Surgeon Major
Brow said that the sight Of his wife
improved Borrowers condition wonder
fully.

An Anticipated Army System.

The lesson of the humiliating expe-
rience Of this war Is that there should
be a thorough reorganization Of our

War Secretary is needed. The need is
even greater than it was for the con-
duct of the war itself. The regular
army bureau needs overhauiing from
top to bottom. Barracks should be
cleaned out, and officers put in clothed
with proper authority to do the work as
business is done in civil life. The ad

Young Minds Awakening.

I'm the practicing of dancing, or it's
exercises the child is also obtaining
the foundation of all other studies The
child is obtaining a knowledge of itself.
The dance is a series of movements be-
ing the expression of connected thought,
and is in its higher exercises a con-
centration of mind and body on the
understanding Of a form or emotion,
thus being a means q supporting the
mind with the strength of the body,
and thereby obtaining greater under
standing.
''All expressive movements are com
ponent parts of the dance. A child
holds out it's hand to a flower. runs
to examine it's inner beauty, plucks it
and carries off the trophy. 1t was a
dance of the child to the music of the
flower. Thus we have the principle
of dancing. the expression of sensa-
tions by natural movement. This leads
us to knowledge of what we see and
feel. The teaching of dancing, there
fore, to children is not in reality a
training of the feet or muscles to an
aptitude Of the waltz or polka, but is
to enable them to acquire habits of
greater mental direction and control
of themselves.

THE NEW MEXICO JUSTICE.
He Runs His Court With a Free
Hand,

Among the wild, weird and wonderful
things to be found in the Southwest
are the decisions sometimes made by
Mexican Justices of the Peace Most
OF the Justices in New Mexico Terri
tory are Mexicans. A few of them are
men of sufficient intelligence and edu-
cation to know something about the
first principles of law, but most of them
are very meagerly equipped.
One such administrator of the law
holding office in Northern New Mexico
decided that it was his duty to try a
man who had been charged with mur-
der Accordingly, he impaneled a Jury
Of six persons and tried the case. The
jury found the man guilty, and the
Justice at. once ordered the prisoner t.

long lecture to the murderer upon
the Nervousness of his crime and warn

again upon such a charge Then he
impressively pronounced sentence-S5

Before another Mexican Justice of the

AUSTRlA'S MINISTER.
THE PRESIDENT MAY GIVE HIM
HIS PASSPORTS.
Said That He Used Extremely Vio-
lent Language to Assistant
Secretary Day.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-The
story is circulated here that Ladislaus
Hengelmuller Won Hengervar, the Min
lister of Austro-Hungary, is in more inn
minent danger of being given his pass
ports than was Senior De Lone in the
most critical period of his recent diplo-
matte trouble.
The Austrian Minister has recently
had several conferences with Assistant
Secretary Day in regard to the pay
ment of indemnity for the Hungarians
killed by Sheriff Martin in the labor
disturbances at Lattimer.
During the last of these conferences,
it is said, the Cuban question came up
casually and the Minister took occa-
sion to remark that he supposed, after
the American and Spanish Boards of
Inquiry had submitted their reports.
the whole matter would be submitted
to an international board of inquiry.
Judge Day is represented as having
given negative reply. To this the
Minister is said to have excitedly re-
piled that such was the usual method
of procedure and that the nations OF
power would be accorded that courtesy.
Judge Day is asserted to have re-
| determine the question of Spanish e.
sponsibility for the loss of the Maine in
her own way and without reference to
what the nations of Europe might ex-
pect to consider proper. This is said
to have so angered the Austrian Min
lister that he forgot his diplomatic
training and used extremely violent
language to Judge Day.
If the scene took place as described,
it is said, no other course would be
open to the President than to give the
Austrian Minister his passports
1t is inferred by those who are re-
sponsible for the story that the matter
was subsequently adjusted by the Min
lister making an apology, which. in
duced Judge Day to refrain from pro-
ceeding to an extremity
This impression has been created by
the fact that inquiries at the Executive
Mansion resulted in the statement that
the President knows nothing of the in
cident. Baron Hengelmuller was alb
sent from his residence when called
upon by correspondent, and Judge
Day declined to discuss the matter
