Hon. Elihu Root, secretary of war,
has directed that the photographs OF
all commissioned officers in the new
volunteer regiments of the United
States service, be sent to the war de-
partment. Some time ago the gov
ernor of Vermont directed that
the photographs of the officers
in the First Vermont Infantry Vols,
war with Spain, be collected and
placed i'll an album, ito be sent to the
war department for safe keeping.
This album is almost completed, and
will soon be placed in the library of
the war department., where are also
the photographs of many of the Yer.
mont men who served in the war for
the Union.

swHERE THE SYSTEM R1pENs.

ut makes me smile when l hear any
thing about the fee system III America"
said the old globe trotter, as his fingers
inst.nctiveiy went down to his vest pocket.
IF you want to know what that system
is you must go to Europe. There isn't
country you can name where you are not
at the mercy of public and private SER
wants, and England is the worst of ALL.
you are expected to fee everybody with
Whom you come in contact in public
way You fee hotel clerks, walters. por-
tiers and bell boys. There are fees in
restaurants-to the police-to railway men
to every gallery and museum / had
some address cards engraved in London,
gave fee to the engraver, another to
the printer and a third to the girl at the
desk who took the pay. 1 stayed with an
English friend a week, and when / left I
had to fee five servants, although only one
had given me any attention. One day, in
riding in a cab, the driver of which / had
feed in advance, a wheel came off and we
could go no further. Cabby held up his
hand for another vehicle and then held it
out to me for sixpence. It's so much
dozen for laundry work, but there's a fee
besides. It's SO much for hat or pair of
shoes, but the salesman works in a hint
about low salaries and hard tines Once
when 1 had $500 worth of business for a
lawyer, l could not get to see him until
I had given one of his clerks a shilling.
l never knew of but one person-man or
woman-h.gh or low-to hesitate over a
fee. I was wandering through an old
graveyard in an interior town, and had
stopped before a stone which had not long
been in place. man who must have
been following me stepped and said:
All! sir. but she who lies here will
be missed for years to come. She was for
half a lifetime the president of the Char
lty Board"
I'm an absent minded way I handed
him out a sixpence,' said the traveller.
He received It. turned it over in his hand
in hesitating way, and finally stam-
mered:
AS she was my own wife, sir, and as
was here to plant flowers on her grave,
perhaps it would not be exactly proper to
accept fee.'
Il replied but that Tor him I might
never have known about her being presi-
dent of the board. and he swallowed his
scruples and pocketed the sixpence with
one motion and with evident satisfaction"

1Ihe Players are booked for another
per torrance at the Opera House on the
tive ntieth. This company of our own
young people needs no introduction
nor praise in this city. Their work
has spoken for itself. 1t is always
careful and conscientious and their
performances. which invariably show
study: and attention to detail, are fin
ished productions that would be cred
liable, TO lifelong professionals. Hence,
The Players stand high with the the
atre-going public of this city and have
become an Institution of which we are
proud. The production will be Sweet
Lavender a society play and Pinero's
masterpiece, which has the endorse
ment of an immense run in London.
We need not say a crowded house wilt
greet this performance, which will be
up to the high standard The Players
have maintained in the past, and the
Register can promise dramatic treat.

A NEW WRINKLE

There is pending in the New York
Legislature measure which provides
that on and after the first of next July
the Board of Education of New York
City shalt burn all school books which
have been in use for six months in the
public schools, and at semi-annual
periods thereafter destroy all books
that have been continuously in use the
preceding half year.
The measure is ostensibly designed
to prevent the spread of communica-
BILE disease through the medium of
school books An exchange, speaking
on this point, says that there is small
doubt that diseases have been carried
by school books, but they have also
been conveyed by books in public
libraries. Why not incinerate the pub
lie libraries every six months? Hand
ling paper money, it is asserted by
scientists, has at times been the means
of disseminating smallpox and other
contagious diseases. Why not burn all
the paper money twice year? Street
cars, too, and cabs and omnibuses have
been the vehicles for transmitting dis
ease germs from one person to an
other Why not make a bonfire of the
street cars, the cabs and the omnibuses
at stated intervals? Cats likewise
spread diphtheria, and poodles convey
scarlatina. Why not exterminate the
cats and the poodles?"
Why, bless your innocent soul, none
of these things are done because no
trust has asked it, just as no member
of the New York Legislature would
ever have given the public health a
thought in this connection if it had
not been suggested by the School Book
Trust, which concern would enjoy a
great graft indeed, in this "health"
regulation which would compel the
semi-annual destruction of all school
books!

HOPE FOR .rNCURABLEs .

One by one science has taken the
strongholds of disease until the
number of ''incurable" diseases
has been reduced to mini
mum and shortly there may be
left but old age alone for science to
combat, and who knows but that med
zeal research will one day succeed in
isolating the microbe of old age!
The latest discovery is in connection
with cancer. We are informed by
cable that DR.. Bra, of Paris, has sue
coded in isolating and cultivating the
microbe of this horrible disease. 1t is
described as an inferior fungus growth
CT the family of ascomycetes and we are
told that there is every reason to hope
that the discovery of DR.. Bra prefaces
a definitive curative treatment for
cancer.
This is good news, indeed. With the
government of the United States about
to launch with every prospect of sue
cess upon an experiment having in
view the cure of consumption, and this
latest discovery, which promises to fur
nish means of mastering the equal
~ dread disease of cancer, the skies
are indeed Frightening with blessed
promise for large portion of suffering
humanity.
Verify, the wonders OF science are

1t is pretty nearly time the authorities
on both sides of the river united and
rounded up the gang of robbers who have
been boldly operating in Ohio and Bel
mont counties for the past two months.
The gang lay low for some weeks, after
the Pape robbery near West Liberty, but
have evidently recovered from their fears
that the authorities might really do some
thing. and last Sunday night they raided
the Ogg residence, near Barnesvilie, and
followed it up last night by an attack on
the residence of George Hamilton, at
rAdena, on the line of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad. about six miles west
of Mt Pleasant. That it is the same gang
that robbed the residence of Mr.. Moore,
back of Burlington and then next APP
peared at the Pape house. near West Lib
erty, is evident from the fact that three
men were implicated in each crime, and
that the general methods were the same
in every case.
Inc hamilton family at Adena, consists
of Mr.. George Hamilton. his wife and six
children. Mr.. Hamilton is about 80 years
of age. He is wealthy, and is comm g "
reputed to have cons.deraDy money in Bis
residence at times The men appeared
at the house at Z o'clock last evening
while it was yet daylight. Two of them
are described as being about six feet tall
and wore masks made of handkerchiefs.
They had light eyes and sandy mustaches.
The third man, also masked, was about
five feet six inches tall, and of dark COM
plexion. All three were well dressed in
dark clothes. One of the men was armed
with gun, while the others had clubs,
described as big enough to kill a horse
with. After the three had obtained an
entrance into the house and were demand
ing money and other ya,uables n the US
ual highwayman style, one of the six chill
dren succeeded in Guiding them, and es-
capped and gave the alarm to neighbors
Several men soon responded to this appeal
for help, and the robbers beat a hasty
as could be learned last night
Information from Adena last night was
to the effect that Mr. and Mrs Hamilton
were seriously Frustrated by the shock
of the rude surprise party they had been
subjected to, but it does not appear that
they suffered any actual injuries at the
hands of the robbers.
man who has been working on both
the Moore and Pape robber.es was seen by
Register reprter early this morning,
and when he heard a description of the
Hamilton robbers said they tailed exact
ly with descriptions given him of. the men
implicated in the other crimes, with the
exception that one of the tain men had q
black mustache, instead OF both being
sandy. This is not a serious discrepancy
however, as a sandy mustache can be
transferred into black one in d few
minutes.

DECLINE In NEW
ENGLAND.

We may speak advisedly hereafter
when we refer to the effete and de-
caying East. Gov Rollins, of New
Hampshire, is authority for the state
ment that religion in that State is ac-
tually dying out and in his proclama-
ton appointing April 13 as a fast day
he takes occasion to make some very
startling statements.
For example, he bluntly tells the
people of New Hampshire that the
Christian religion is declining in a
marked degree especially in the rural
communities. He declares that there
are towns where no church bell sends
forth its call from January to Janu-
airy; villages where children grow to
manhood unchristened; communities
where the dead are laid away without
the benson of the name of Christ and
where marriages are solemnized only
By Justices of the Peace"
What a situation in one of the orig
ial thirteen cradles of American liber-
ty whence the Christian faith was first
promulgated on this Continent! Is it
not calculated to excite alarm and APP
prehension as to whittier we are drift
Ing? For if the very home of the
Pilgrim fathers has thus degenerated
what have we to hope for the future OF
the 'benighted'' South and the ''swash-
buckling" West which have never laid
claim to godliness?
Still, if New Hampshire can do no
better Missouri and Texas can doubt
less spare her a few missionaries to
rescue her benighted people from ut
ter godlessness, of which her Governor
says they are in sore danger.
