MORE SOLDIERS,

In these stirring times when reports OF
victories and defeats reach us from the
seat of war, our thoughts naturally turn
to the soldier, the defender of a nations
honor. Some are fighting at the 'front.'
others are guarding against invaders,
while still others are perfecting them
selves in military discipline to be ready
when the country calls.
To the latter class belong the C. T. A,
Cadets, company of boys who will give
an exhibition drill at the p. C. T. A.
Society ball in city hall Friday evening,
Dec. Goth. This Cattraction together
with the musical programme arranged
will furnish very pleasing entertain
ment.

HPRUGEG BAGOT OTIS NOT IN OLD WOMAN HAS FOBLE FOR CHAIRS
MAN WHO MYsTERIOUsLY ROBs
VERANDAS
More Than Score Stolen in Month.
David Kaapa Makes an Arrsst-Look-
ing for the Chairs

David KAPPA thinks he has the mys-
terious chair thief who has given no
end of trouble to residents of Fort
School, ANNA, Beretania ana neighbor-
ing streets and the town center for sew
eral weeks.
About o'clock this morning the de-
tective was in the neighborhoud OF thu
Y. M. c. A. shadowing native whom
he suspected. The man entered a yard
near by, walked all around the house,
into the verandas and started out, when
he was caught by the officer.
The fellows name Is Hoopii. In the
police court this morning he pleaded
guilty to the charge of being on the
premises of another at night without
lawful excuse and was given a month
on the reef.
KAPPA is confident that HOopii is tre
chair thief, and is today trying to locate
some of the property stolen by him. He
believes that most of the chairs nave
been sold to Cinnamon and others. The
detective states his prisoner has appro-
priated as many as two dozen fine
chairs from various residences in the
past month.
The chair thief has had only one
method, apparently. He would stroll
into yard and take one chair from the
Veranda No matter how many had
been left out only one would be appro-
priated
Complaints came from every quarter
Calls We're made eight times at one
house on Fort street and eight chairs
are missing. From other places four
three two and one are reported. Most
of the houses report the loss of one on
ly. The thief was sharp enough not tC
call twice in the same locality on sue
ceeding nights. For instance, after Wis
iting a Fort street house one night he
would enter premises on Beretania or
in town the next.
Hoopii is an old Jail bird. He denies
all knowledge of any chair stealing, but
KAPPA is so positive of his man that he
states fatty that he is the thief.

ARTIFICIAL WATERS AS FACTORS
OF DISEASE.

At the instance of the Lucknow
Cantonment medical authorities, two
aerated water factories have been
closed, the water having been pro-
nounced unfit for use. 1t is to be
hoped that the decision will induce
the medical authorities in India to
overhaul the aerated water factories
under their jurisdiction at other sta
tions, particularly where enteric
fever is prevalent. The popularity of
Apollinaris Natural Mineral Water
seems to have no limits. 1t is obtain

menus of the assembly ball given at

WAR REVENUE.



About Sl00. 900 900 was realized from
the war revenue legislation during the
last fiscal year says Bradstreets. The
commissioner of internal revenue has
just completed a tabulatOn of re turns
from the various collection districts
which give a total of $272 ,S76.S50 %.
This sum represent an increase of $l02.
9S3,52S OF as compared with the total
internal revenue allowance for the pre-
ceding year, and, making allowance for
slight Increase of receipts under the
old law, it is fair to assume that the
bulk of the increase was brought about
by the imposition Of the new taxes. The
law has, therefore, fully met the eX-
peCtatiOns entertained when it was first
brought before Congress, and ii may be
that in the current year it will produce
even more than in the fiscal year just
Jnded. 1T is of interest to not that
about tWo-tifths of the entire revenue
raised by the bill came from the sale of
documentary and proprietary stamps,
and that Owe" fourth of the amount
thus produced. OF over one tenth of the
whole. was furnished by the Wall street
district I'm New York City.
