A Larger West Point.

Steps have been taken to obtain
from the Governors OF states list of
the commissioned officers under the
age of twenty-one who served in the
Spanish war as volunteers. prepara-
tory to the introduction of bill in
Congress at the coming session provid-
ing that these young men may be ad-
mitted as cadets at West Point on
passing the prescribed examinations
The bestowal of this opportunity is
advocated on the ground that it would
bring into the Regular Army in an
appropriate manner within the next
few years a number Of deserving Off
GERS whose experience already gained
in actual warfare would be especially
valuable TO the country hereafter. This
seems to us a thoroughly safe and SEN
sible p roposition for the reasons CIV
en-, and because otherwise its tendency
is in the right direction.
The West Point Academy is one of
the best military training schools in
the world, and one of the country's
most admirable institutions, and we
should be exceedingly glad to see it
expanded to larger proportions. A
school of instruction in the art of
warfare that suffieed for an army linn
tied to $4,000 men and a population
and conditions to which an army OF
that size was deemed adequate should
not be expected to supply the require
ments of a nation of seventy-five mil
lions, with dependencies containing
ten or twelve millions more. At pres
ent each Congress district and Terri
tory Including the District of Colum-
bla, Is entitled to be represented at
West Point by one cadet, and the
President has the appointment of ten
cadets at large, making the possible
membership Of the academy about
three hundred and sixty. The number
however. is always considerably below
the limit, except perhaps Immediately

Strange Fire at SistersviIle.

A confagration that threatened
greater damage than the one on the
south side several months since, had
the city all astir this morning. -Four
dwellings, and a blacksmith shop were
destroyed and a number of other
structures in the near proximity were
badly scorched
The fire had an indirect origin in the
escape of several hundred barrels of
oil from the four inch discharge line
running from the Littleton station to
the station here. There was a break
in the pipe, last night up Happy Hol-
low, and the oil came coursing down
with the water of Tan House run, un-
der which the line is laid.
This morning David Curtis, who
does blacksmithing for II. A. Harden
burg in the later's shop on Burt street
unwittingly dropped a quantity of
refuse matter, in which were probably
some live GOALS from the forge, into
the run. This stream passes under the
shop, and, being the usual depository
for rubbish, Curtis, through force of
habit did as was his custom this
morning without realizing the dire
consequences that would follow.
In an instant after the deposit was
made the surface of the stream was a
blae of fire. an dthe flames were shoot
ing up through the floor of the shop
Curtis had barely time to unite horse
that was inside the building before the
combustible frame structure was en-
tirely enveloped by the fire fend and
nearby buildings on that slde of the
street were in an ineipient blaze.
In the meantime the burning oil fol-
lowed hit run under the Ohio River r
X. culyert and in turn ignited four oi
the frame dwellings that front thC
board walk. So rapidly did the fire
make headway that the panic stricken
residents in the burning district were
unable to remove only a small part O
their household effects.
The total loss is approximated a
600, not including the damage t.
adjacent property, which is consider
able.-Oll Review.

A Kansas woman obtained a divorce
on the ground that her husband used
tobacco and had other habits obnox-
ious to her She was 79 years old and
her husband 81. They had been mar
ried but two years. Each had raised
large families and had lived within a
stones throw of each other prior to
the death Of their former matrimonial
partners. This is a new ground for di-
vorce that ought to prove popular with
many wives who are desirous of get
ting rid of their life partners on one
excuse or another.-Derrick.

President Wood in his speech in
Council last evening did not express
the true state of affairs when he said
that the newspapers of the town were
his enemies. Although the newspa-
pers do not always quote his "exact
language" he should remember that ii
is not done "in spite" but rather in
spirit of kindness toward Mr.. Wood
The attack upon the city press was as
uncalled for and out of place as was
his boasting of his many deeds OF
charity, or of his record as a public
benefactor in general.

Lived Without Blood.

That person can live for some
days with virtually no blood in his
veins was demonstrated recently by a
case at the City Hospital. A young
woman operated upon was afterwards
seized with violent hemorrhage from
an internal wound, and despite the ef-
forts of the doctors to stop the flow,
she continued to lose blood until the
pulsations of her heart were no longer
perceptible. AS usual in such cases,
artificial blood was injected into her
veins to take the place of the blood
lost, to prevent complete cessation of
the hearts action. The artificial
blood consisted of saline solution
composed of common table salt and
water. The injection was made
through a vein in one of her arms.
Almost half gallon of the solution
was used before the hearts action be-
came anything like normal, and for
two days she lived in this way, the
water being absorbed into her system,
and new blood taking the place of wat
er, the hemorrhage having been stop
ped. In sizing up the case it will be
seen that there was little blood in the
woman's circulatory system when the
water was injected into her veins
Her weight being 120 pounds, allowing
her normal blood supply at the usual
ratio, one-fourteenth of the entire
weight, of which amount a fifth is al
ways retained in the liver, blood YES
sells and tissues, it will be seen that
there was little more than a pint of
blood in the entire circulatory system
goingt to stimulate the hearts action.
The young woman recovered and has
gone to her home.-Con. Trib.

MCCOY WON FIGHT.
But in Fully Twenty Rounds Without
Any Knockout.

Sam Francisco, March 24.-With SUI
periority in cleverness, quickness and
ring ~generalship, which was apparent
from the first round, Kid Mccoy very
properly was awarded the decision owe
Joe Choynski at the end of the twenty
round contest before the National Attn
letic club in Mechanics pavilion to-
night. 1t was a very pretty fight, but it
was almost entirely in favor of the
younger man. Mccoy won and won
easily. He had the fight in his hands
and at any one of a half dozen palpable
opportunities could have administered
a decisive and knockout blow. But
again and again he failed to follow up
his advantage and Choynski was lucky
to stay twenty rounds. Mccoy was the
aggressor in his own fashion, drawing
Choynski out.

picnic grounds, which consisted of tete-
a-tete corners, with here and there a
group of young folks, hidden behind
screens, saying sweet nothings to each
other-some occupying improvised
seats made of kegs and boxes, upholst-
cred with pillows and draped with
shawls, fur rugs, etc.
At $50 a gun-chewing contest was
i~naugurated. Each guest was presented
with a card, having the name of some
animal thereon. Chewing gum and
toothpicks were hen passed. The OBJ
ject of this was to chew the gum, then
mould it into shapese by means of the
t~oothpick, the animal which was named
on the card, consisting of elephants,
monkeys, billy goats, etc. This caused
an endless amount of fun. The MAORI
ty of the animals drawn could be rec
ognized without the aid of microscope.
A large cake, three stories high, was
then exhibited and a cake walk com
test began. The young couples pre-
sented a very pleasing appearance as
they Started down between the Two par
lors, keeping time to the music OF the
two step. Miss Parshall and Mr.. Nc
Cabe were awarded the cake. Opening
the cake there was found souvenirs for
each guest. The ladies' souvenirs be-
ing wrapped in pink and the gentle
mems in white tissue paper, and con-
sisted of tin horns, ~rattles, whistles,
etc. The two drawn alike were part
ners for buffet lunch, which was served
in wooden boats, covered with pink and
white tissue paper.

"Coffee:-This drink has its good and
bad effects upon the system. To $
plain language. we will call it a tam
ner or TOUGHER of the tissues; that is.
it prevents the breaking down of old
tissues as fast as would happen ordi-
narily. For this reason coffee, if taken
in the morning with a large meal, by
one who is to work out of doors all day.
Will prove a valuable staying power.
To a poor man or a laborer it acts as
a reserve force, by giving him a longer
use of his Tissues. To one who is to
remain indoors, or who eats but little
food. it is a precursor or soil-disease.
or the accumulation of dead animal
matter in the body. This occurs be-
cause the toughened tissues, when loos-
ened as they must be or death will en-
sue, are not readily thrown off. They
make s~oil-heaps all through the body.
Another objection to coffee is it's dis
organization"

AAs way
we thought he was all right: He must
have had a weak spot somewhere"
The fact is, almost everybody has a
weak spot somewhere. Death and dis
ease are always looking for weak spots.
If your stomach or your liver won't do
its proper work, if your body fails to
get It's full nourishment from the food
you eat, and your brain loses part of the
sleep it ought to have, no matter how big
your frame and muscular your limbs may
be, you will give out; disease will find the
weak spot, and nature will give way.
