MIR. DURYEA WANTS 200 FRAMES
One Accepted His Invitation and Since
 Then He is Avoided.

Roslyn, N. Y, Feb. 13.-Edward Dur yea, a farmer Or Greenv2-e, La3 1T some time since had a big sign on a tree in front of his house which reads, "200 Tramps Wanted on This Farm" One day three tramps came down the road and eyed the sign carefully and then held a council under a. tree Fi- nally one tramp entered the gate and walked boldly to the rear door of the house. Farmer Duryea has never told all that took place. but the tramp was gone from his two comrades several hours. They waited for him some dis tance down the road, and frequently one of them would go on scouting expedition to see if he could get any trace of the missing man. Late in the afternoon he emerged from the farm house and hurried down the read to rejoin his companions. There were hurried greetings between the three, and then one, taking out a knife GU. some queer figures on the gate post and all three departed. Not a tramp has entered that gate since that day. and of late none has been seen in this section of Long Island.

than Scott thought he ought to be. i This trouble fonented and grew till it | became almost a national scandal, while Davis was secretary of war for Pierce from 1853 to 1857. Scott had ! been defeated for the presidency by Pierce and hated the whole outfit mos heartily. The letters that passed be- tween Davis and Scott were red hot, and not good family reading. The last one of the series was written by Sec reatry Davis, and was a scorcher,"
 Here the governor turned to his desk and took out a copy of the letter, which was as follows:
 War Department.
 Washington, D. C., May 2S, 1856. "Brevet. Lieut.. Gen. Winfie d Scott:
 Sir: I have received your letter of the 21st instant, after the delay for which you make a hypocritical apOl- ogy, and it seems to have strengthened you to resume your labor of vitupera- tion. But having early in this corre3- pondence stamped you with falsehOOd, and whenever you presented a tangi- ble point. convicted you by proof, l have ceased to regard your abuse. And as you present nothing in this letter which required remark, I am gratified to be relieved from further necessity of expression of your malignity and depfaVlty. very respectfully, your obedient servant
 JEFFERSON DAVIS.
 Secretary of War"
 The governor went on to relate that this controversy so embittered Scott that he moved the headquarters of the army and established them on Gov ernor's Island, N. Y, just as sherman, when he got mad, moved his head quarters to St. Louis. "This was not Gen. Scott's first of fense in this way the governor said in conclusion. He was appointed a ! captain of artillery in Gen. Wilkinson's i division in 1908, but was suspended 1. for having accused his superior eff i cer with complicity with the con spiracy of Aaron Burr. And so history i repeats itself. Scott had another i grievance about the Mexican war, and | that was that he was not permitted to | negotiate the treaty Of Guada,oupe i as he thought his rank en- tiled him to do. It embittered all his ater days" ."-Washington Post.

AN OLD HRMY QUARREL.
EX.GOVt rnor Crawford Recalls Gen.
 eral ScoffS Grievances.

Ex-Governor Crawford of Kansas
 is at the Ebbitt. Tall, soldierly and
 straight, with snow white hair an1 military mustache, the eX governor does not look old enough to have been
 one of the territorial pioneers of Kansas; yet he went there in 1855, and in 1865, while colonel of Kansas regiment, he was elected the second governor Of the young state To hear Governor Crawford tell story is to
 listen to a good thing. He and life have been good friends, and he has had some rich experiences as a sold CT, a pioneer governor, an Indian fighter and a worldwide traveller. He loves to talk of his early experiences, and when in a reminiscent mood the other night, referred to the present dis graceful scrap" going on in high army circles.
 T sincerely regret" said the gover- nor, ''all this wordy war about beef and beans,' because it will be pro ductive of nothing but bad feeling ard accomplish no good result. AS mat ter of fact. it isn't beef and beans that Gen. Miles and Gen. Eagan are dispoiling the fair name of the army about, but it is the excuse for Wordy war, the old struggle for supremacy old as this government, as to who shall command the army of the United States-the president. as commander in-chief; the secretary of war, who is the mouthpiece of the president, or the general of the army, who is supposed to obey both of the others, but does not unless he can't help himself, as he has always believed and always will believe that he ought to be recognized as the supreme authority, so far as the army is concerned.
 T remember a very critical period in the history of this country, when the secretary of war and the commanding general had quite as disgraceful a controversy as that which is going on i now. It was away back in 1856, and | the bitterness of the controversy grew | out of the Mexican war. I remember | it, because we, in Kansas, were, just | about that time, having good deal to | do with the United States troops. 1t ! will be remembered that Gen. Scott was not sent to Mexico at first, but | Gen. Taylor was, and that didn S lit Scott bit; but the president thought 1 he knew what he was about. Later, Gen. Scott took the bits in his teeth, and went down there anyway.
 Gen. Scott had his peculiarities. When he was brevetted brigad:er gen eral for distinguished services at Mi agara somewhere along in 1874, he took the high ground that he out ranked a brigadier general because his superior had his rank bestowed by gradual ascent, and he had been so honored because of his disting uished | services. Just as soon as Gen. ScOOt reached the higher rank himself. he forgot all about the honors of brevet rank, however, and simply froze out all such.
 ''At the time of which I am speaking Davis was secretary li of war. Gen. Scott's trouble with hin began in the Mexican war. Davis was a son-in-law of old Zach Taylor, and ; was favored by the old general more {

THE GOSSIP OF

Although Prince Maximilfan of Sax | ony has been offered by the ecclesias- tical authorities both Of his uncle's kingdom and at the Vatican the rank of bishop, he las declined this honor for the time being as premature, and laying aside his title and p.arCgatives
 O. prince of the blood, has accepted a
 position as curate or assistant priest Of
 the St. Elizabeth Church at Nurem-
 berg, where he figures under the name
 of Dr. Max Victim, which is the patro-
 nymic Of the reigning house of the
 kingdom and the g-and-d:tchies Of Sax
 ony. Nuremberg, as every one knows,
 is in Bavaria. and the princes reason
 for establishing himself there rather
 than i'll Saxony is doubtless because
 he realized that it would be impossible
 ing people treat him with the honors
 due to prince of the blood.
 Emperor Williams crusade against gambling in the army, which he is pur- suing with relentless Vigor since the scandal in which Prince Alfred of Co., burg and Count Klaus of Egglofstein have become involved, is likely to have the effect of driving from the army young men of rank and wealth who might otherwise have adopted the mili- tary profession as a permanent career, and who, indeed, have until lately con stituted the backbone of the corps of officers of the German army.
 For men who are financially inde- pendent of their military pay, which is CO1 al ol in on the part of the kaiser, either in his capacity as sovereign or commander in-chief, with their pastimes and providing these are not contrary to the laws of honor govern ing the conduct of a gentleman
 As stated above, the officers pay in the army is small, while regimentaI fife is expensive, and Germany has during the last quarter of century made such amazing progress alike in trade and in dustry that the two latter offer to in telligent men of small means far more | attractive inducements than a military career, especially in times of peace, | when promotion is necessarily slow, | and the hard work both monotonous | and routine
 The men, therefore, of the class from f which Moltke, Verdy, du Vernois, and | he other so-called scientific and math- 7matical commanders of the German army have sprung, are no longer avail lble, as in days of yore, when the pro ,ession of arms was the only one that was open to gentlemen, and the ele- nent from which the kaiser is now obliged to recruit his officers, that is to say, those officers who are content to ievote their entire existence to q mil F tary career are the young men of wealth and of family, who are not cnly {. of their pay, but likewise E % rich to be tempted by any attrac- ions which commerce and trade either \ It home or abroad, might offer to hem.
 Now it is precisely these men, who Ire most of them reared to sporting astes, who resent any arbitrary inter erence either with their expenditure |, ,r with their pastimes, as long as the

iy found dead ia locked potato Car
under somewhat peculiar circumstances

about by natural causes. The more the
circumstances connected with his strange
death are developed the more certain IL
seems that IL was case OF homicide and

There can be no doubt that Alfred
Estes had Sae0 when he left Brysnt's
Pond with hi carload OF potatoes. The
money was paid him as the result OF n
legal settlement Just as he wss 90 the
point of starting upon his trip 20 Masss-

Several persons knew shout the mat
ter and that this money was paid 70 the
old potato buyer. He was very care
ful man about the expenditure-of money
and In the course OF his business would
have hsd no occasion 20 use any OF this
money previous to his death. Ga the
