Gold Instead of Red Above the
Cuffs shows Foreign Service.
Many of the volunteers who have return
ed from Cuba have been seen on The streets
with the red stripe on their sleeves to
indicate service abroad. Some question has
been raised as TO just what colors should
appear in the stripes and what the bind
ing should consist of. A recent order is
sued from the war department is as fol-
lows in the part relating to the service
stripe:
TO consist of a chevron Of gold lace one
half inch wide with piping one-eighth
inch wide of the same color of the branch
Of service in which the soldier earns the
right TO wear il. Engineers to have a
stitching of white silk on each side of gold
lace. They are to be worn above each cuff.
OF the dress uniform only. The hospital to
be of emerald green, with a piping of
orange"
The red stripe should therefore be of
gold, and Il should not be worn on the or
binary uniform Nearly all the stripes seen
here are red. and il is said the mistake
was made first BY the Maine Artillery.

CAN'T Touch HOMEsTEADs.
United states Courts Have No Juris-
dietion to Decide Their validity.


A decision handed down by Judge Speer
in Macon last week has an important ana
far-reaching Influence upon the trial and
determination Of bankruptcy causes ana
Will probably result in greater numper
of embarrassed debtors avalling them
selves of the provisions and benefits Of the
statue. The case then decided before Judge
speer originated in Americas, and the pre-
hminary hearings and meetings Of credl-
tors there were held before the referee for
that division OF this district.
The bankrupt in that case had set aside
homestead for himself and family as al
lowed by the state laws, and had subse-
quentiy waived il by giving waiver notes.
When the matter was brought before the
referee the creditors instituted proceedings
10 have the homestead administered by the
trustee as part of the bankrupts assets
To this course objection was made by the
bankrupt and The matter was brought for
decision before Judge Speer.
The court held that the United States
courts had no jurisdiction of homesteads.
out that questions regarding their validity
were exclusively for the determination of
the state courts. The trustee must set
aside the homestead before he could pro-
ceed to administer the other estate of the
bankrupt and its validity. If 1t is desired
to attack it, can only be attacked in the
state courts.
The decision is of added interest from
the fact that a discharge in bankruptcy
relieves man from his debts contrac-
TED up 10 the time his petition is
MED. 1t is therefore a matter of
some doubt, whether after proving their
claims before the referee and taking part
IN the distribution Of the assets by him.
the creditors can subsequently attack the
homestead or set up their waiver to de-
feat It, The law is yet in its infancy
and many of its provisions have not been
fully considered and their meaning de-
termlned. The uncertain status Of the
party who holds a waiver of homestead
IS one or these matters that yet remain
for the wheels of the law TO grind into
proper and definite shape, as of course
they Will ultimately do. In the meantime
creditors who are in this position scarcely
know what course to follow.

Keepers of Shacks Had Good
Thing with the Soldiers.

Ihtng with the soldiers.
Daufuskie was occupied by the soldiers
for about twenty-four or twenty-five days.
During that short time several energetic

ones.
The establishment of the camp twenty
