THE ARMY SCANDAL

From the New York Evening Post.
 There comes obscure threats from Wash ington of a courtmartial on General Miles for producing so much testimony in the newspapers about the ''bad beef" If it came off, 1t would bear a delightful resem- blance to the French proceedings against Colonel Picquart, who was prosecuted vigorously for telling the truth, and is now in jail for the same It would also bear more remote resmeblance to the resent ment felt by Truthful James against the "heathen Chinee' who was guilty of "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" In other words, General Miles has ruined the little plan of reporting through a com mission of "frinds" that "there warnt no bad beef" Some such report was undcubt- edly about to be made when General Miles showered on the "frinds" over 100 reports from all branches of the army, showing that the beef was bad, and making the
 frinds' report impossible. It cannot now appear except as comic literature. The only thing to do is to courtmartial the general, and the "frinds" will probably find that this is exactly what the general de- sires, and has desired from the beginning He has all along wanted either a legal court of inquiry or legal courtmarital.

SMALL FIRE IN SELMA.
The River Still Rising -Coldest Weath-
 CT in Years

Selma, February S-(SpeciaL) )-Last night there was an alarm of fire sent in from Box 34, the fire being discovered in a stable of Mrs. Virge Weaver, in the rear of the City National bank Mrs. Weaver's horse, which was in the stable, was so badly burn ed that he had to be shot this morning.
 Selma is experiencing the coldest weather since 1S94-95, the thermometer going even lower it is stated by some, than in that memorable year. The government instru- ment registered at a. m. today for the preceding twenty-four hours 29-17. The low est heretofore registered was 22 degrees.
 The river is slowly rising at this point, and is now within five feet of the danger line.
 The contest for delegates to the constita- tional convention in Dallas remains in statu quo, three candidates having announced for the three delegates Dallas is entitled to in the convention, and only two for delegate at-large from the thirtieth senatorial dis trict.
 Local city politics are expressing the at tention of the people at this time, but the constitutional convention will come in for its share soon.

FARLEY AT PANA.
Went to Assist in Settling the Miners
 Strike at That Place.

Pana, H., February S.-A possibility of the settlement of the miners strike, which has caused great disorder here for several months and has cost the state thousands of dollars in the maintenance of several com panes of militia, has been brought about through the presence of President Fairley, of the United Mine Workers of Alabama. Fairley is offering the negro miners who were imported by the Pana operators free transportation to Alabama and higher wages at Birmingham and Bessemer than they are receiving here. Many of the ne- groes, influenced by the extremely cold weather and the hardships they have en- dured here, are accepting the offer

ly so that people may see all her lovely things. She looks in at the windows and fingers on the sidewalk to play with her bat-eared bulldog so that all who pass may look at her exquisite costumes. There Is nothing spiteful or naughty about all this. only charming childishness and de- light in her new things. She is only 20 years of age and her face carries the look of a child of F in it's sweetness, and if the gossips would but leave this minimizing little lady alone she would soon become accustomed to her great wealth and her luxuries and would grow as conservative as the most exclusive leader in town. The talk about her little mistakes was all con- fined to the limits of the 400 till a certain weekly came out brutally last week and published a notice of how splendid and handsome were Mrs. Mackay's equipages, gowns and jewels her name was published In large letters and underneath was printed published by request"
 Doubtless Mrs. Mackay did send in an &C., count of her new possessions to be pub lished. But what of that? There was noth- ing but the coneeit of youth in such an ac- tion, and the paper might either have pub hshed it quietly or thrown it aside.
 Mrs Mackay has been hurt to the heart by the sudden, awful awakening that she has had through this weekly. She has sent ner picture to papers, furnished accounts of her gowns and jewels and generally adver- 'ASOo hSiSSil, put SO AlTS. 11eTIndn Oel- richs and Miss Virginia Fair when they first came to New York. They assisted the papers to everything about themselves and advertised themselves in the most whole sale fashion. These two ladies today are as impossible to approach in journalistic way as Queen Victoria herself, for they have learned the folly of their ways and become exclusive. Probably in a years time information about the descendant of Lady Catherine will be as unattainable as that of Mrs. Ogden Mills or Mrs. John Ja- cob Astor Mrs. Mackay will also learn that there is something else in life besides making a clotheshorse of herself and parad- ing her costly toilets, for everyone tires of that sort of thing in time and clothes be- come perfect bore.
