officer who has merely been doing his

who has had the good fortune TO be doing
il in a more conspicuous field OF action.
OF course, an officer who is responsible
Cor the success or failure of a naval cam
paign is entitled to special consideration
in the event Of success. There Is no Off
Ger in the service who grudges Admiral
Dewey his promotion. He planned and
carried out a project for the destruction
Of the Spanish fleet in the Pacific. He
would have been blamed If 1t had mis-
carried. He is entitled TO all praise when
IL succeeds. But the captains of his ships
were doing their simple duty as they
might have been doing It. and as other
CAPTAINS were doing it, on the Cuban
blockade Yet other captains are de
graded as these captains are exalted. BY
his GOODNESS ard self-coumand shown al
most at the moment when his ship was
blown up under him, Captain Sigsbee en-
titled himself 80 the good regard OF his
superiors and Of his country. BY his
ceaseless and successful vigilance Captain

more Of "a feat than any OF the captains
Of the Asiatic squadron had occasion TO

one Of the captains recommended for ad-

to be advanced over the head OF Sigsbee
and two are recommended to be advanced
over the head of Clark.
Evidently this is unjust. A naval Off
Ger ought 20 be put over the heads Of his
seniors only by conspicuous personal
merit. During the civil war such promo
lions were made very charity. We recall
no other instance than that OF Gushing

There will be no complaint IL the gallant

RES ADJUDICATA.

Sims VS.. Tyrer Affirmed. Opinion by
Buchanan, j.
The error complained OF Is the construc-
ton of the decree In this case heretofore
affirmed by this court
Held: The question raised was neces-
sarily involved in the former appeal, and
expressly raised upon a petition TO re-
hear: and must be regarded as res adjudi-
cata. 1t would be grossly inequitabie TO
made the recovery Of the party whose
property had been improperly sold by an
other depend upon it's value when SOLD
by the Court, instead of the date OF sale
by the wrong-doer. If the property mad
deprecated, the loss would fan upon the
property-Owner; If it had appreciated he
would receive more than he was entitled
10. Upon the facts Of the case, Tyrer
was entitled to recover from OGorman
81 500. that being one-tenth OF the face
value Of the stocks and bonds received by
OG. for the property there being no eVi-
dence that the stocks, &c, so received
and appropriated to his own use, We're
not worth their face value. II not worth
that. OGorman, or those claiming under
him. should have shown IL, and having
failed to do so. they must suffer the con-
sequence Of their own negligence.

CONTRADICTORY NEGLIGENCE.
Robinson's Administrator VS.. Dininny.

Affirmed. Opinion by Buchanan, }.
The evidence in this case is all that OF
the plaintiff, and is very meagre and I'M
satisfactory as TO the condition OF the
premises when deceased was killed. He
was engaged in cleaning out shaft from
the bottom. Material from above fell
on him and killed him. Was not tn
danger so obvious that II was known 10
him or easily discernible by him? lie had
belped to clean out the adjoining SHAFT
from the top, and must have known that
if the foundation of the mass of material
accumulated in this shaft were removed,
there was danger of its falling down and
rushing into the tunnel connecting the
two shafts. Deceased was 10 years of
age. of ordinary intelligence. had worked
in coal mines and helped 10 clean out
the other shaft, and is presumed to have
known the practical effects of the law OF
gravitation. Such knowledge is not con
fined TO experts.
Held: The general principle Is that the
master shall use ordinary care and dill
gence to provide reasonably safe place
for the servant to work in. Also, that
the servant assumes all ordinary risks

rule. all risks from causes known to MIN.

1t is hard to understand why any en-
ployer would be so inhuman as TO have
his work done as in this case. when there
was a safer and better way; or why
any servant should work where the dan-
ger was so obvious and so great But
the courts can furnish no relief from such
inhumanity and such folly. the danger
being obvious when the service was en-
tered into. The court has struggled 10
reach a conclusion different from that OF
the Circuit Court but cannot do so with
ont violating settled rules OF law.

A QUEER HABIT.
II Is Contracted by Cleveland Man
While Trying to Learn
the Typewriter.

A Cleveland man has set about learn
Ing the use OF the typewriter, reports
the Plain Dealer. Up to the present
time he has had somebody to do his
typewriting for him, but now he wants
TO know how TO run IL all by himself.
He admits that he isn't an apt scholar.
IL comes slowly. The letters are hard
70 End. and the spacing is so easily
forgotten. But there is one thing that
amuses him. He is learning to spell,
and learning in the same way he did
when n tow-headed boy In the early
COS. OF course he could spell when he
tackled the typewriter, but not in he
same way. Now he distinctly emu
merates each letter. and does it. too
with the greatest care. 1t is funny
thing, but he finds himself spelling
out the words in the newspaper. and
his wife says he spells them in his
sleep.
The other day the minister met him
end asked him how he was.
"V-e-r-y WE'LL" he gravely spelled
out, and when the pastor looked
amazed he realized what he had done
and hastily explained the cause Of the
/ fpeculiarity. And the minister pro-
fessed to be greatly interested and
wanted to know all about IL, and the
speller is now greatly worried for fear
the parson will write a special paper

popularity, and when he increases his

COST OF ELEPHANTS.
The Animals Are Much Used in the
siamese Malay states ms
nensts of burden.

II is somewhat interesting to com
pare the weights carried by elephants
in the tin-producing districts of the
Malay peninsula with. those used in
the long journeys and mountainous
country of the Lao states. In the PEN
insula the distances are seldom more
than at most three orfour days march,
and the elephant is expected TO carry
as much as 900 or 1000 pounds, besides
his mahout and howda. The latter is
often q mere brace of panniers, slung
together so as 10 rest one on each side
of the backbone. and covered some
times with n light barrel roof Of bark.
A good tusker which win carry $50
pounds will fetch about C Sc, and q fe-
male which can bear 500 pounds is
worth about c I5. In the Lao states,
where journeys Of ten days or three
weeks are frequent, the average
weight hardly exceeds 300 pounds, or
one-third of what is usual in the PEN
insula. The prices in various parts Of
the country vary considerably. When
we were on the Me Kawng and in
Muang Nan in 1893, n good tusker could
be had for c % and female for G "a;
at Chieng Mai, where good tusk-haul-
ing elephants are in good demand, a
tusker may fetch ESQ, and IA female
from ESQ to 100, according to her
strength and ability.
In the Siamese Malay states there
are probably 1000 domesticated ele-
plants, all told, and in the Lao coun-
try probably over $500 animals are
working at the present moment. That
these animals breed in captivity in
Siam Is due TO the fact that large
number Of them spend the greater
part OF their time holiday making in
the Jungle. When there is no work for
his beast, the mahout takes him out to
nice, cool, green bit of forest and
leaves him there TO enjoy himself.
There Is no expense connected with
his upkeep, for lie looks after himself
He has a hobble of rattan around his
feet TO dissuade him from wandering
too far, and wooden bell round his
neck, by the tone OF which the mahout
or his little boy can always find him
when they 80 out once a month TO lool,
him up and give him some bananas

A Naval Commander Says There Is
No Telling Why sailors VIII De-
sert in Time of Peace.

"I never knew a sailor worth keep
ing" declared an old naval com
mander, that would desert in time of
war. But in times of pesce, when
everything appears to be going along
ns though it were CREASED, desertions
will begin from no apparent cause and
will suddenly become epidemic. Away
they'll go, and it's two to one that in
a little while they viii be hunting
around to see if they can't get back
into the service without having TO suf-
fer punishment. I used to put in a
good deal Of time trying to find an ex-
planation of tle thing, and finally pre-
sented it 20 one of my superior ofli-
GERS.
"Drop it, young man. was his la
comic advice. You can't tell why they
do it and you can't stop them. If you
must worry, les It be about something
where you may have chance TO ac-
complish good. I'll tell you right now,
Il you were to sail ship for Heaven
