War Department Decided Not to Retry
the Camp Meade Matter.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-The attor
ney general was notified that the wal
department decided not to retry the
case i'll which Judge Simonton of Penn
sylvania held that the canteen at Camp
Meade must pay a state license, This
line of action was decided upon, first,
because it is the Intention to abandon
Came Meade, so that the decision, il
reversed, would be of no value, and,
second. because this particular case is
inherently weak, as through the con-
nivance of some private soldiers beer
was sold to civilians.
The Pennsylvania case will not be re-
garded as precedent by the depart
ment, which reserves the right to test
the issue in the future,

A REPORTERS CLOSE CALL.
An Episode That Cured Him of All De-
sire to Fake" Interviews with
Prominent Politicians.

"The most painful experience of my
career occurred when | had been in

an old reporter, land the city editor as
signed me to interview a big northern
politician who had dropped into town
en- route to Frisco. | rushed over to
the hotel, saw my man, and he promised
to give me a talk at $3.50 p. M; so that
evening, after supper, was fool enough
to go out to see my best girl, thinking
[ would be back in plenty of time for
the appointment. AS bad luck would
have it, we had quarrel, and when we
got it patched up and l looked at my
watch it was after ten. | was Mortified.
| grabbed my hat, flew to the hotel,
and was informed that my man had
been in bed for an hour. Merciful heav-
ems! What was | to do? TO own up
meant certain discharge and disgrace,
and, on the spur of the moment, had
a desperate inspiration. Why not fake
up an interview? The big man was 60
ing away early in the morning, and ii
he ever saw the article it was dollars to
doughnuts he'd ignore it altogether. So.
without appreciating the enormity of
my idiocy, | wrote up the story. 1t
was "a very conservative interview, but
handed it in feeling like felon. Next
day | was sinking to the Office, nervous
as cat, when whom should / meet but
the distinguished politician himself,
bound the same way. | felt my hair
stand on end, but, to my unbounded
amazement, he addressed me cordially.
"'That interview was very satisfac-
tory he said. very accurate, ind:~E,
and he invited me TO have drina. |
construed his remarks as bitter sar-
casm, and supposed, of course he had
prepared some horrible revenge, but
went along, mechanically, like IL man
hypnotized. In the cafe he seemed GU
riously embarrassed.
"'By the way he said, confidentialiy,
I didn't say or do anything unusual
last evening, did I?'
"'Unusual!' | gasped, II don't IN
derstand.'
"I asked he said, smiling, because

The principal reas''n that coins arc
struck and not cast is the well-known
fact that molten metals contract on
cooling. Thus counterfeit coins, which
are always cast, show fatal variations
in size, which authentic stamped coins
donot. Secondly, it is impossible to get
;he same sharpness of delineation as in
stamping, and, lastly, when the stamp
ing machine is once set up the process
of striking coins is infinitely cheaper
and more rapid than that OF casting

ScE,Iey Gets IA New Command.

Washington, Sept. i6.-Some time
ago Admiral Schley applied to the
navy department for sea service. At
present he is head of the retiring
board. The navy department has now
granted the request and has notified
him to hold himself in readiness to
command the South Atlantic station.
The department is about to take steps
to make the command commensurate
with his rank by increasing the mum
Der of vessels on the station. The
Cincinnati probably will go there; the
Detroit is already on her way and the
Marblehcad is likely to be attached.
altogether there will be five or six
slips on the station.
