For a starter. IL the present pro-

commissary department. As II report

commissary department.
Ii ls also reported that General Eagan
has communicated with the secretary of

agement To make demand for a court
martial in case General Miles does not
disa his reported remarks.
IL can be said that General Miles has
been paving the way for proceedings

posed. II the court-martial process does
not overtake him. IL will not be his
fault-he seems to have invited II. He
has criticised war department methods

his testimony before the investigating
committee he framed his testimony so
as to give II the effect of direct charges

state much like whatw A. Clark
Is to Montana. Addicks IL a perennial
candidate for the federal senate. His
unftness for the Office Is universally
admitted, his only campaign argument
is his money. and his he pours out In
Delaware as unstinted as Clark pours
out his in Montana. One difference Is
that Delaware is currently reported to
come cheaper for Addicks than Mon
tana for Clark.
Another difference IL hat IL Is claim
ed that Addicks really has some little
show To make the purchase this year.
In joint session the Dela ware legisla-
ture has ffty-two members. OF these.
thirty-one are republicans. twenty-one
are democrats. OF the ~thirty-one re-
publicans. Addicks claims sixteen.
which Is a caucus majority. But It is
well understood that there are several
republicans who will neither attend the
caucus nor be bound by Its action.
while. on the other hand. the Addicks
men will vote for no candidate but their
own.
II is admitted that all h votes Ad-
dicks has are the votes he has pur-
chased-the bargain-counter business
has been carried on in Delaware since
the November election as shamelessly
as by Clark agents I'm Montana. The
threat in Delaware Is that the decent
republicans in the legislature will vote
for Senator Gray. the present democra-
tic incumbent. their proposition being
that Gray is an uncompromising gold
bug and therefore practically as good
as a republican.

FOUGHT TO A DRAW.
Twenty Fast Rounds Between Barry and

Davenport. Iowa. Dec. 2s.-Jimmy
Barry, the bantam-weight champion,
and his old-time rival. Casper Leon,
fought a fast 2O-round fight To a draw
tonight before the Tri-City Athletc
club. The small hall I'm which the fight
was held was filled to ~overiowing. large
delegations from Chicago and adjoining
cities being in attendance. The fight was
an even one from start to finish. In the
opinion OF many OF the spectators Leon
~outpointed his man. but Barry's appar-
emily superior strength easily evened
up matters. There was very little be-
ting on h event, Icons previous de-
feats making the sporting element shy
of the investment. Owing to long de-
lays caused by awaiting the arrivals
of special trains. the fight was o con-
cluded until after II o'clock. Though
the hghting was very fast In every
round, neither contestant scored a
knockdown. Leon came out Of the mill

MANICURING AT HOME.
How to Keep the Hands and FinEea

Get a small bowl or finger glass and
dissolve therein a small piece of pure

dry and then with a knife or an ivory

nail so that it can be trimmed off

possible at once, when the nails have
been neglected. Still, two or three
manicure treatments will show a
marked improvement. With the ivory
implement remove any dirt from un-
der the nails. Trim them oval shape
with cuticle scissors, rub down any
unevenness with prepared toilet emery
paper, then apply the nail powder with
d chamois polisher. Rinse the nails in
warm water, wipe well and rub the
nails again with polisher or with the
palm of the hand. and do this after
washing, which will serve to keep them
polished for week. If the nails are
brittle and dry, rub a little vaselins
over them each night. Perfect cleanli-
ness is the greatest ad junct to beauty
but, for all that, do not wash your
hands too often. Washed seldom but
thoroughly they will keep in far nicer
