Soldiers Not in Love with
Canned Roast Beet.
The Refrigerator Beef Was Far Better
Even at It's Worst.
Testimony BY Army Officers a the Miles oest
Court Of Inquiry.

Washington. Feb. 2l.-The court Of
inquiry engaged in investigating the
beef charges preferred by Gen. Miles
continued, today, the hearing Of tes-
timony bearing upon the controversy
A number of army officers who partic-
ipated in the Santiago campaign were
heard. Practically without excep-
ton the officers condemned the canned
roast beef furnished as travel ra-
ton and reviewed complaints about IL
which the men very generally. made.
declaring it unpalatable and wanting
in nutriment. *6z
On the other hand the refrigerated
beef suffered but little at the hands OF
todays witnesses. it being generally
conceded that it was good when de-
livered from the transports and when
It escaped the decomposing effect OF
the tropical sun en- route to the several
commands 1t was found to be satisfac-
tory. General commissary methods
in Cuba were inquired into. today.
Difficulty in preventing faint before
cooking was generally expressed:
There was very little in today's evil
dence pointing to any use of chemicals
upon this beef.
The contention of Gen. Miles that the
army in Cuba and Porto Rico should
have been supplied with herds of cat
tie or beef on the hoof, instead of re-
frigerated beef. was supported by
every witness who gave his opinion
upon this question.
A feature of today's examination
was the general assertion of witnesses
that they would not have felt 1t to
be their duty to men or army organic.
alton to make any special report upon
the beef had it not been for the special
orders calling for such reports, but
rather would have permitted the un-
satisfactory ration to pass without
further notice as an incident to war
fare and to the particularly trying cir.
cumstances with which the army was
confronted at the outbreak of the war.
A number OF officers testified to the
belief that very small proportion OF
sickness in Cuba was due to the beef
or unwholesome rations. they imputing
it rather, to the climate. ~
The examination Of witnesses will
continue. tomorrow and perhaps all OF
this week in Washington, and the tes-
timony henceforth is expected to be
generally cumulative. Many officers
are to appeal. among them being Gen.
eral Joe Wheeler and Gov. Roosevelt.
Later this week or early next week. :
the court will leave for Chicago and
other Western centres. where it will in.
spect the packing houses Of the firms
who furnished beef to the army. A
thorough study of the methods employ
ed in preparing refrigerated and can.
ned roast beef will be made and wit.
nesses will be examined in the differ.
ent cities.

Maryland sunerstitions.

There are superstitions throughout
all the counties of Maryland concern
Ing crossroads and running water.
Witches are supposed to make their
home at the crossing of two roads and
to appear there at midnight. One pc
culiar thing about witches is that they
cannot get across running water, and
asstream Of any sort always acts as
a protection to the nightly prowler,
who will follow along the bank OF q
stream IN preference to the road
These ere some of the things which
are more generally believed in the
country around Washington and along
the eastern shore. Some of the arti-
cles Of the creed of the superstitious
in that neighborhood are:
II you sweep your room at night,
you sweep away your wealth.
Never shake crumbs out Of a win
dow after dark. They are supposed
to fall Into the eyes Of the Lord and
to disturb the spirits of the dead who
wander abroad at night

There is, it is true, as great an in

paupers of Iced so dire that no charity
from medicine can ever raise them to

mediocre legacy of vitality which rem
ders us undistinguishable units in the
mass. 1t lies in the hands of each to
improve or waste that property, as he
chooses for there are self made men
physically as well as financially; those
who, because Of ancestral wasteful
ness, have only q sixpence of health
and turn 1t into fortune, and there
are spendthrifts of health who come
to as sorrowful case as spendthrifts Of
gold. The body is the realm where q
wise and frugal ruler brings happi-
ness as surely as foolish one insures
distress. and wisdom here, as else.

HER UP TO DATE ALBUM.
The Chicago Girls Travels Recorded
by XsIlotogrnphs Of Herself.


by photographs CT Herself.
The Chicago girl that knows her
business-and where is there one who
doesn't?- has an album or card case
devoted exclusively to collection of
pictures of the one person whom she
thinks more of than anybody else in
the world-namely, herself There are
several laws regulating the collection
of personal gallery of this kind. In
the first place, no two pictures shall
be alike; what is equally important, no
two shall be taken in the same town.
From @ glimpse at this second condi-
ton, it is obvious that the young wo-
man who has popular collection of
her own photographs must be some
thing of q traveller. ~
In order to give added interest to
this pursuit Of herself in miniature,
each photograph is stamped in violet
ink, with the name Of the town where
taken, the name Of the artist and the
date of the sitting. There are also
margins for recording any other Incl
dents connected with the occasion
that may be considered worthy of
note.
In this way the business of photo
graph collecting is kept on a system
attic, methodicai basis, and the book Of
photographs becomes an abridged bio
graphical history Of travels in an in
definite number Of chapters. 1t is
evident that the more pictures it con-
tains the more comprehensive will be
the text, hence the ambition of every
young woman possessed with the craze
to become globe trotter.
There are few standard towns that
are absolutely necessary to the reputa-
ton Of any album, such as Chicago,
New York, Niagara and the prominent
intermediate points. Beyond these,
the more distant and romantic the
places the greater the interest attach
ed to these pictorial histories of the
world as seen through maiden's eyes.
