Mic, ARMY RecommendntIons.


General Miles proposition for an In
crease in the army Is more conservative
than great many OF the critics hive
been predicting 1t would be. He asks
simply what Is equivalent to a little
more than a doubling of the regular
force. The basis OF his estimate would
give US not more than 5000 men. In
view OF the facts that the army has al
ready been admitted TO be too small,
was fixed at the number of men It con-
tained before the war at time when
the population OF the country was but a
little more than half what II now is. and
of The increased need of coast defences,
&C., the proportion, according TO Gem
eral Miles recommendation. is not
greater.
The general believes In making the
System 80 small as not to be n menace
to the American people and at the same
time large enough to make !; adequate
to any emergency" likewise to improve
the organization and equipment with a
view to avoid cause for complaints, such
as have been prevalent during the war
Just closed. In other words. General
Miles proposes that the government
shall profit by the lessons learned In the
war, and this should NEE. with general
public approval.

Afraid That the Spaniards Would Cap
ture Him.
New York Herald: Mrs. Jessie Muir
ply, 80 years old, of Brooklyn, hanged
herself with table cloth in the dining
room OF her apartment last night be-
cause she feared her husband, Thomas
Murphy, who is sea captain, would
be taken by the Spaniards. She was
widow when she married Capt. Muir
ply about year ago. He sailed on
April 13 with his schooner for San
Domingo. She was worried by the
prospect of war at the time of his de-
parture and begged him not to go, say
ing she was sure he would fall into
the hands Of the Spaniards and be
killed.. He laughed at her fears, telling
her he did not believe there was any
thing in the war talk, and that there
would be no hostilities. Even if there
should be war he promised he would
make the voyage in safety and return
sound. She was not convinced. hut he
was obliged to sail in spite of her en-
treaties. When he was gone she road
eagerly all the war news, especially all
that related to the probability that
Spain would prey on American COM;
merce. AS the reports became more
and more alarming and war seemed
nearer, she grew more terrified Her
daughter, Maude, 16 years old, said her
mother was unable to sleep, and had
recently been in the habit of living
awake all night weeping. She expected
news every day that her husbands yes
sci had been captured, and that he had
been put to death with torture. She
imagined that the Spaniards would fin
ally end his life by cutting off mis- head
These thoughts so worked upon her
mind that when the news came that
congress had passed the resolutions de-
claring for Cuban independence. and
that their passage meant that war was
certain, she could bear the strain no
longer, and decided to end her life.
Her body was found by her daughters
at O'Clock. Policeman McGinnfe cut
it down. The family are in comfort
able circumstances, and Mrs. Murphy
had nothing to worry her so far as is
known, except the fancied danger TO
her husband. ~.

and curds could give them, with only
beneficial results. There is nothing

them grow like it. The first two weeks
feed young turkeys stale bread. soft

sour milk is put on the stove until the

the turkeys three or four times a day.
