HOMES FOR HEROES.

The home which the nation has
presented to Admiral Dewey and in
which he is now established is a COM
Portable mansion situated on Rhode
Island avenue in the most fashionable
section of Washington. 1t was pur-
chased by the committee in charge of
the popular subscriptions for $50, 600
after the Admiral had signified that
this particular house would suit him
admirably.
1t is no new thing for nation to
thus honor great warrior. Military
and naval heroes OF all lands have
been similarly rewarded. England
made Nelson a knight and gave him a
purse of $4,000 The Duke of Well
ington received gifts amounting to
fully $4,000, 900, most of which were
cash. Germany gave to Bismarck for
his services in the Franco-P russian
war a landed estate worth 81, 900, 600
and made him prince to boot. Won
Moltke received $500, 900.
We gave to Admiral Farragut a
home in Washington. 1t is now &C.
cupied by his son. To no less than
five famous Union generals have been
presented homes and money, the list
beginning with Mcclellan in 1854 and
ending with Miles in 1895. Homes
were given to, the widows of General
Hancock and Logan in memory of
their husbands.
General Grant was most signally
honored, for he received not one home,
but three-in Washington, Philadel-
phia, and New York respectively.
The New York house, presented to
him shortly after his return from his
tour around the world, cost something
like 1925, 900, and the balance of the
sum contributed, more than 800, 900,
was given to General Grant in the
form of dividend paying securities.

Athletic sports are to have an i'm
portant place among the side attrac-
tions to be organized in connection
with the Paris exhibition. The sub
committee that is drawing up the pro-
gram of the outdoor amusements has
just decided that golf is to be included
among them. An international con-
test is to be held of which the features
will be two championship matches
for ladies and gentlemen respectively
and a ladies' and gentlemen's handi-
cap. There being no very good golf
ground in the immediate vicinity of
Paris the play will take place at Com
spiegne, on the ground, which is said
to be excellent, of the local athletic
club. Play will be under the rules of
the st. Andrews Golf Club, and will
extend over the last fortnight of next
April. Players DESTROYS to take part
in the contest should send in their
entries, through the medium of their
club secretary, to M. Fournier Sarlo-
vene, secretary of the Societe de Stort
de Compiegne, before March Is, 1900.
Tuesday was an interesting day at
the Morris County Golf Club and a
reception in the afternoon added to
the gayety. A mixed foursome handi-
cap was the chief feature of the day,
and the clubs members turned out in
force to take part. Miss Jane Swords
and George J. Little tied with Miss
Kip and L. B. Garretson at 10Y for
first place, while Mr.. and Mrs. F. M.
Bacon, Jr., were second at 108. In
the afternoon there was boyle handi-
cap for men against bogle score of

An Interesting Piano.

I
1t is doubtful If you have eve n
j such a remarkable Piano as is now IN
exhibition in the warerooms of the
H Lauter Co in Newark. 1t is decidedly
4 the most interesting musical instrument
4 that has ever been shown in New Jer-
/ sey. 1t is by the world renowned
makers. Chickering & Sons, Boston,
Y and has been specially constructed for
4 exhibition purposes. 1t has created
j furore at the different exhibitions
H where it has been shown.
H The instrument is an Upright, and is
n probably the most massive of this form
4 that has ever left factory. 1t stands
Y fully five and half feet high, and is
4 quite six and half feet long. being
H nearly three feet deep. This is about
Y a foot higher and longer than even the
II largest ordinary Upright. The archi-
n lecture of the case is particularly i'm
Y posing. The exquisitely decorated pan
U els of the front and sides are edged
4 with an original form of iacquered
4 bronze moulding, and the capitals of
U the pilasters are surmounted with smil-
n ing chefubs of the same metal The
| wood work is in finished ebony and has
U brilliantly polished surface. The
n whole effect is at once striking and in
extreme good taste. The architect has
U executed his work so well that. though
Il the instrument Is unusually large, the
| proportions are finely balanced and it
U Is only by comparison with other Pianos
I near 1t, that one realizes its great di-
| mansions Isolated In a residence its
U size would scarcely be commented up
I on. The tone Is particularly pleasing,
Y and has the characteristic rich and full
4 Chickering quality so much priced by
II musicians.
4 This magnificent instrument will be
U on exhibition for some weeks in the
lI Lauter Coz warerooms, and is well
\ worthy of inspection, 1t can be pur-
] chased at merely nominal figure and

SENATOR RAWLINS' VIEWS.


Senator Rawlins is opposed to the re-
tention of the Philippines. He says
that he has not been opposed to terri
torial expansion heretofore, that under
favorable conditions it is a blessing,
that the extension of this nation is i'm
evitable and that no hand can stay its
steady growth.
But he has watched the trend of the
administration, has noted the influence
of heelers NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., has wait
ed so long for an indication of colonial
policy that all the dangers and draw
backs of expansion with few of its
blessings are to be seen in the case of
the Philippines.
Many other believers in expansion or
advocates of Philippine retention are
being driven to the same position.
Without definite understanding the
Filipinos refuse to submit to American
control And President Mckinley ven
lures no assurance of a definite policy.
It is not advisable to attempt to gov
ern the Philippines without a largely
increased regular army. To increase
the army under Alger is madness.
There is no need of encouraging the
political grafters or furnishing con-
tract sharks with any additional OPP
portunities. The war and the West
Indies will keep the government sup
piled with scandals for many year
10 come. Some of them are as offensive
as Eagan's embalmed beef right now.
Besides, no one. not even the most
ardent expansionist in the country,
cares to annex a revolution or a series
Of revolutions. We can get along with
out them. While it appeared that the
FiliLinos desired an American protec-
tclate, or their annexation to this re-
public, there were mutual advantages
to be seen in such a contamination.
But no further savage warfare like the
west has experienced for a half CEN
fury or more.
Among other things Senator Rawlins
said: Il have not heretofore been op-
posed to expansion. This nation has
been one of growth; in population from
three to seventy-five million; in terri
tory from the shores of the Atlantic
across the continent and out into swell
ing waters of the Pacific. Millions of
the homes of our sturdy and patriotic
people and magnificent states have been
the fruits of our expansion. Territorial
expansion with commensurate extern
sion OF constitutional freedom is twice
blessed, it blesseth them who give and
them who receive. No man can set an
artificial barrier to the inevitable pro-
gress of the American people

AL GER AND THE ARMY.

After a week or more of hard fight
ing in congress the Hull bill for army
reorganization has been forced through
the house. Although many Republic
cans were known to be hostile to the
measure, most of them were whipped
into line until the vote indicates that
party lines were closely drawn.
Only six Republicans opposed its pas
sage, while it's supporters among the
Democrats numbered but four.
OF all the plans proposed for the re-
orgaization and increase of the army.
this is the worst. The Herald has
called attention several times to the de-
fects in the Hull bill.
1t embodies Ayers ideas. He sug-
gested the most dangerous features.
The administration approved them, and
the party has dutifully fallen into line
to pe1petuate the curse OF Algerism
upon the military arm of national de-
tense.
This administration measure provides
for the appointment Of hundreds of Off
GERS from civil life and makes it posi-
bic for Alger to recruit the STATS. COM
missary and medical departments from
the ranks of political followers.
An adequate army ought to be main
tanned, but any increase under an in
competent war department is folly.
There should be a reformation before
organization.
Alger should be deposed- 1t is folly
TO increase the army under such
head.

A World of Change.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

you know, we have to do a lot OF
money changing" said an old street
car conductor. Week days we make
considerable change for people who
just ask us to change a 81 bill or a s.
bill, but Sunday morning, pretty nearly
every other woman that pays a fare
wants to know if we can't furnish her
change"
The car was pretty well filled and
was on its way up the avenue Fol-
lowing a wink from the conductor. the
Tales of the Town man stepped in
side the car. The first woman handed
out a ticket, and the second one did
the same, but added, a. moment later:
Can you change so cents for me?'
The conductor made the change and
collected one or two more tickets be-
fore another woman said:
Can you please change 50 for me,
so that I can get 10 cents out of it?'
The conductor handed out a couple of
bills and some silver and went on down
the aisle. Out of some twenty women
in the car. fully a half dozen asked for
change, and the last two or three were
obliged to go TO church and either drop
a half dollar in the box or look sweetly
innocent while the contribution box
passed by them.
Il wish,' said the conductor. land 1
am not an irreligious man-that they
had few money changers in the tenn
pies 1t would help out every conduc-
tor in town.

Ing that it was impossible. The major
and senior captain were appealed to
with like results. In the meantime the
regulars We're pressing forward. anx-
ious to scale the hill They called upon
the New Workers to go ahead. Then
they were asked to lie down, which
they did, and the gallant Twenty-fourth
stepped over them and went on to vic
tory and fame, and some death.
After the fight, Captains Blocker and
Meeks of the New York regiment
openly charged the three officers mem
toned with cowardice. Their charges
were subsequently corroborated by the
official report of General Kent, who
took part in the charge. But, upon
their return to New York, Captains
Blocker and Meeks were courtmartial-
ed. They were accused of publicly dis
cussing the action of superior officers
and otherwise violating the army reg
ulations requiring respect and ODE
dienc They were guilty as charged,
of course. But the truth was pleaded
in mitigation of the offense.
After a patient hearing they were adj
judged guilty by the courtmartial and
fined 500 each. Major General Roe
promptly RENTED their fines, however,
which shows that, while discipline must
be maintained in the army. it is not a
serious breach thereof to expose the
cowardice of officers.

FROM SLAVE TO EMPRESS.

Press dispatches have contained some
wonderful accounts of the power, innu-
ence and action of the dowager empress
of China. Yesterday The Herald COM
mented on the Pekin cablegram indi-
eating that the empress is about to
proclaim a new emperor. Attention
was called to the exceedingly high
handed manner in which the hide
bound, accommodating race was domi-
mated by petticoat influence
It seems that the dowager is neither
an aristocrat nor a full-blood Chinese
woman. She does not rule by right Of
birth or official prestige. Hers is one
of the most extraordinary careers of
any living woman. Her power over
her subjects is decidedly the most I'M
questioned and unrestricted of that OF
any ruler in the world, and her exper-
fence is certainly without a parallel in
the history of any age or cline.
Her name is Tuen. When she was
very little girl, according to the biog-
raphy from the pen of Katherine Gray
Nelson. she was sold by her father to
be a slave in the family of viceroy
in a remote province of China. Her
father was OF Tartar blood, and one of
those who could read, and would not
have thought of selling his child, al
though she was nothing but a girl"
but the family had become destitute in
a rebellion, the little girl Of II suggest
