THE BEITI>H 4RUl.

We ,aI the other day that IN case of war in
South Africa The British Army would probably
show as fine a state If readiness and efficiency
as the British Navy did when the famous r.
serve fleet was mustered. Every days inte-
gence tends toward vndicatng that opinion
Our London correspondent reported yesterday
that military preparations were proceeding
with the precision OF machinery. with admirable
smoothness and lack Of friction. In former
years unreadiness and disorder were character
istics OF the beginnings If British Army cam
paigns. as witness The Crimea. the Mutiny. the
Ashantee wars the former Transyaal trouble
and the Gordon relief expedition. But Tommy
Atkinss commanders have learned something
Of late. Lord kitcheners campaign against the
Khalifa was probably as perfect an example as
the world has ever seen Of complete prepa ton
aud successful execution. There was not a
detail neglected AT the outset. and there was
not a single mishap or check in the carrying
out Of the campaign on schedule time. APP
parently the British Army is prepared TO repeat
that marvellous performance in South Africa
IL there shall be need for 50 d4plorable a re-
course
The practical efficiency Of the British mill
tary system is indeed coming TO be widely
recognized by the best authorities on the Eu-
ropean Continent 1t was not so long ago that
the British Army was treated negligible
quantity. The British feet was a powerful fac
tor. but the army a mere cipher. A standing
army OF less than 10000 men. all told scattered
about in a world encircllng empire of more
than 100000 population. was ridiculously
small France. with only one-tenth the popu-
Ia ha1 ban tN
and Germany. with 53,Oo.0o0 people had
$500 soldiers Besides, there was reckoned
to be no such efficiency Of equipment and dis
cipline among the Redcoats as both Red
Breaches and Pickelhaube boosted. Now. how
ever, the tone Of comment Is changed. Cont
mental war lords are asking themselves whether
II may not after all. be possible that small
army Of volunteers. enlisted for long terms and
many Of them practically for life, is more ETH
cient than a big army composed Of short tern
conscripts The British soldiers enlist for seven
eight or twelve years. and largely re-enlist
Those Of France are drafted for three years
and those Of Germany for two. British force
Is therefore composed Of seasoned veterans
serving under officers with whom they are ia
mliar, while a French or German force Is com
posed OF unseasoned raw levies serving unde
officers who are strange 10 them. II may wei
be asked whether the British force would not
though the smaller. prove TO lie by far the more
effective.
The bearings OF such comparisons are. so IA

are concerned. entirely speculative and academ

ths two systems. But so far a. the CnIte(

The flags on the city and other public

the news OF the vice presidents death
became known. Flags on many private
buildings and dwellings were also hung
at hall mast The bells of the city hall

Soon after tho esews OF Mr.. Hobart's
death was sent over the wires, kilograms

Among the first to send words OF sympa-
thy and coincidence to Mrs. Hobart were
President Mckinley and Mrs. Mckinley.
Mr. Hobart was popular presiding
officer and good parliamentarian.
By the death of Mr.. Hobart the office
Of vice president of the United States be-
comes vacant for the rest OF President

Store Burglarized.

Phe millinery establishment OF Mrs.
Maud Chapman was entered some time
during last night.
An entrance was gained through the
back window, by breaking pane OF
glass, thereby reaching the window fist
ener and raising the sash. Every box of
velvet was ransacked, and every piece of
any consequence was taken, along with
cards of beautiful ornaments, fancy
plumes, feathers, veilings, hat trimmings
and nearly every baby bennett in the
stock. After a careful investig alton the
loss will foot up to over 5000. Mrs.
Gleason, Mrs. Chapman's mother was
the frst one to discover the robbery
She went to the store at 730 o'clock this
morning and upon opening the door at
once discovered, through the disorder in
every part of the store, that burglars
had invaded the premises.
She at once gave the alarm and d. r..
Crosby, sent for the sheriff. Tracks
we're discovered in the soft dirt back of
the store, and they indication that the
robber had feminine aocomplics. Sher-
if Wallace has telegraphed all directions
in hopes that the thieves may be caught.
A couple were seen in the alley about
il o'clock and it appears they boarded
the east bound train at midnight. 1t
seems strange that store Of this kind
should be robbed, but in these times
most any thing can be expected.

IFrom the New Orleans Times Democrat
Apropos of all this. and other. news from
Paris. we take this opportunity to express
our admiration of the extremely able and
interesting news service from Paris and from
London which THE Chicago Tribune" has
been running daily in its columns for several
months past. Several of the New York dailies
have excellent cable letters from London and
sometimes other European capitals in their
Sunday issues. but they appear as a rule only
once week, the brief dispatches which they
get on the other days of the week not amount
ing to much in the way of an Ineligible and
adequate presentation of European news
" The Chicago Tribune's foreign service,
signed :" Grace Corneau" from Paris and
" ii. ]. Whigham {" from London, taking it
all the week around. is a long way ahead of
the foreign news service Of any Of the New
York papers
One or two of the New York papers have
had for years deservedly high reputation
for presenting their readers with news of in
terest from foreign parts. and the public will
not forget its Indebtedness TO them on that
account. But 1t is beyond dispute that the
star Of journalism is Westward taking its
way. and that the journalism OF Chicago is
beginning to be the metropolitan Journalism
Of the present, and will certainly be. If things
rlGye as they, are moving now. the metro
generally, II at all. approve the politics of
The Chicago Tribune" but, apart from its
politics IT is; in our opinion. superior to any
eign news service the best in the United
states. but its home news service covers the
country with a fullness to which the New
5 nrk passrs are strangers. The Tribune's"
or envy 10 the journalists of New York 1t was
a. journalistic effort to which hitherto none
Oh the Gotham papers has been equal.

Dry Plate Photography.

The first amateur pictures on dry
plates were made something after the
method employed by Charles Lamb
celebrated Chinaman in obtaining roast
pig. The Chinaman burned his house
to roast his pig. The amateur tore his
camera to pieces to get his picture The
first hand camera was pasteboard box
containing one plate. A pinhole served
as lens and after the exposure Of the
plate the box was taken to the dark
room, cut open, and the plate extracted.
This was rather expensive picture max
ing, and it was not long before maya
zine camera was invented, and sudden
ly all the world began taking pictures.
