SECTIONS SUCCESSOR.
Capt johnson, Senior yIce-Commander-
in-Chief, Will Succeed the Late
Col. Sexton.

Cincinnati, Feb. Capt. W. c. John
son, senior vice-cemmander-in- of
| the G. A. R., is the head of the firm of
johnson Brothers Hardware Co., in
this city. Under the constitution he
becomes the acting commander-in-
| chief at once upon the death of mis-
superior, and continues as the acting
commandments until the vacancy
is filled. The national council of ad-
ministration, consisting of As men,
bers. one from each state department,
has full power for filling all vacancies
This body may elect Capt. Johnson or
any other member of the order While
it is though that Capt. Johnson VIII
succeed Col. Sexton, yet there is no
certainty on that matter until the ma
tional council of administration meets.
Since the organization of the G. 4.
r.. in 1866, there have been 90 COM
manders-in-chief. Eleven of them are
now dead, but Col. Sexton is the first
that died in. Office, and his death brings
about condition for which there is no
precedent. Logan was commander-in-
chief for three successive years, Burn
side, Devens, Hartrantf and Robinson
IOf TWO years eacn, ana since 1870 no
one has had second term.
If Capt. johnson succeeds to the Of
fee it would remove the headquarters
from Chicago to Cincinnati. and that
may have some influence in the selec-
ton of a successor.
1t is also stated that great prepare
lions are being made at Philadelphia
for the national encampment there
next September, and that the depart
ment of Pennsylvania may want a
voice in the selection of Sections sue
cessor.
Capt. johnson served throughout
most of the civil war as private,
never attaining higher rank, except by
brevit, than that of lieutenant. He
has a very fine historic record as sol
der and is a very successful business
man. The Ohio department will urge
upon the national council of admins
tration his selection as COMMANDMENT
chief. Capt. Johnson realizes his re-
sponsibility as acting commandments
chief until the council of administra-
ttion fills the vacancy, and he will not
express himself as to the future.

A COAL FAMINE.
The Citizens of LeadviIIe Suffering from
aScarcity-Immense Amount Con-
sumed by the SHELTERS.

Leadville, Col, Feb. 4.-The citizens
of the camp are experiencing no hard
ships so far with the exception of the
miners in the gold belt who have been
laid off owing to the blockade, and are
losing in the aggregate $4,000 in wages
per day.
Both of the Leadville smelters are
cutting down their work, and are car
rying on operationsin their yards with
the utmost difficulty and at the loss of
a large sum of money each day.
The coal situation is still critical for
the reason that there is so much coal
consumed daily, the smelters alone
using $50 tons per day. Twelve cars
of coal, which came in on the Mid
land, and 20 cars on the Rio Grande,
were consumed in an hour, and coal
dealers are far behind in their orders.

Hare Hunting.

Hare hunting is undoubtedly more
antique sport than the chase of the
fox. Xenophon pursued it with delight
in ancient Greece, and in Britain the
hare was for centuries looked upon as
far more worthy quarry than the fox,
which, until the time of, Queen Eliza
beth, and even later, was regarded as
mere vermin. Nicholas Cox, author of
'sFhe Gentleman's Recreation" work
on sport, published in 1917, writes thus
enthusiastically: 'As of all chases the
Hare makes the greatest pastime. 80 it
is great delight and satisfaction to
see the craft of this little poor Beast
in .1er own self-preservation." And it
is to be admitted that in those shifts
and expedients which afford to lovers of
hounds the true delights Of hunting the
timid hare is at least as fertile as any
known beast of chase in any part Of
the world.-London Saturday Review.
