CATERER WASN'T HIS FORTE.
Lieutenant Blues Methods to Secure
Relief From DUTY.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
Lieutenant Victor Blue, the neryy Young
officer who recently performed the feat
of getting good view of the Spanish
fleet in Santiago harbor by making dar-
ing detour of 20 miles or so on Cuban soil.
was attached to the Bennington. which
was lying in Honolulu harbor about three
years ago. He was then an ensign, and
he had not up to that time been a ward
room caterer. So he was unanimously
elected as soon as he was attached to the
Bennington. Lieutenant Blue is a giant
of young man and exceedingly good ma
tured. But he made a sad hash of the
caterers job. He got his accounts all
mixed up before he had served as caterer
a week, and he had to pay a lot of seign-
forage out of his own POCKET. The meals
he placed before his messmates were sat
isfactory enough. but the caterers job
wore on Lieutenant Blue a great deal. He
figured on how to get his congo When a
new caterer is elected 1t is the custom of
the wardroom officers to weigh themselves
every day, in spirit of fun, in order to
worry the caterer. and to make 1t appear
by their solemnly averring loss of weight
that they are being half starved. Lieu
tenant biue went down to the engine
room one day after he had been worried
over the caterers job for a week or so
and dug out big drop scales. He tinker
ed with it for a while. Then he rigged a
bo-suns chair to it. carried it aft, and
suggested to the officers that when they
wanted to weigh themselves thereafter
they use those scales Of his. The officers
didn't suspect anything. and after din
ner the same day several of them weighed
themselves. They had all lost a pound
since the day before. They said the
scales were wrong and Lieutenant Blue
admitted that perhaps they were. Then
all weighed again the next day. Each of
them had lost another pound. and they
began to feel of their Wristbands Won
deringly. All Of the officers of the Ben
nington's wardroom mess went on losing
flesh, according to Lieutenant Blues
scales, for ten days or SO. Then a meet
ing of the wardroom officers was called,
and Lieutenant Blue was dropped as cat
'erer. as being incompetent" and mo
account. anyhow Lieutenant Blue didn't
have to serve as caterer for the rest of
that cruise. and he wore a smile of deep
content every time he looked at a weigh
ing apparatus.

CADETS RELEASED.
West Point YearlinRs Promise to-
be. Obedient.

West Point. n. Y, July 6.-Colonel Helm
has relented. and the third-class men or
dered under, arrest in the camp at Fort
Clinton have been released on their prom
ise to be good and express their enthusi-
asm for the officers at the front in less
boisterous fashion than heretofore.
Dissatisfaction was originally caused by
Colonel Helm ordering that the ''plebes''
should be drilled by the first classmen. in
stead OF the ''yearlings." as he suspected
that the latter took occasion to have fun
with the newer soldiers. Then the year
lngs' took to making uncanny noises at
night. and cheering wildly for officers in
Cuba at inopportune times. Hence the
arrest.
