COMMUNICATIONS.
The FlagDoIe,

I
 1 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: 1 thank the Register for the interest it 1 has taken Tn having new flagpole on l the Green. They deserve great credit | for it, showing their public spirit, vim, push and interest in all things to make | this city attractive. But, on the other. hand am ashamed of the officials of this enterprising city that they are not smart enough to find funds somewhere among the many appropriations in City Hall (which are enormous) to buy a fagpole for our beautiful Green without being compelled to appeal to private subscriptions.
 I do believe the only proper place to put the new pole is the center of the bandstand, where the old one was, and while the expense would be more to do it. it should be done, and if subscrip tions would be continued a few days more the amount, I believe would be forthcoming. And It IS grand Idea that the children of our schools should chip in their pennies, for they will take more interest in this and other public matters, and in years to come will point with pride and sayyt T helped to buy that pole' What if the expense is a little large to put the pole in the band stand? It only happens once in the life time of most of our citizens. To place the pole on the G. A. R. plot would not look shipshape at all, but would have the appearance that a schooner had been in a gale of wind and had carried away her foremast, leaving stump (old pole) and her mainmast standing. I do hope, the good reputation this city now has, that when it does anything it does it well, will be maintained in this flagpole business, and let's have pole second to none in this State, and have it l stand straight Gold one did noD, and let's have 1t at once, so we can fly Old | Glory when Admiral Dewey visits us, which I am certain he will do, for he can't pass us.

SENSIBLE,

Major Edward E. Dravo, Chief Con- missary of the Department of the Gulf, has made a report to the War department which seems to be we'll
 worth the attention of that depart
 ment. According to Major Dravo, the
 responsibility for the proper feeding of the army is too greatly divided and he says this has been exclusively dem- onstrated by the military operations of the past year. The Subsistence depart
 ment provides the meat for the men,
 the Quartermaster's department the
 ovens and pans in which to cook it,
 and the Ordnance department the meat cans and the knives and forks
 with which to eat it. Again, the Sub-
 slstence department supplies the coffee
 and roasters for browning it, the Quar-
 termasters department the mills to grind it and the pots in which to cook it, and the Ordnance department the tin cups and spoons to enable the men to drink it. It is the same with all the components of the army ration and it is very hard to get complete unison be- tween the three departments and have the three sets of essentials needed properly to feed a command arrive at a given place at given time in proper quantity. Major Dravc says it would seem much simpler problem if the army had to look to but one depart ment for everything connected with it's food supply, and certainly the danger would be lessened of misconnectiou between the food, the means of prepar- ing it and the means of consuming it.
 This will strike the people, even if it doesn't the War department, as sensI- ble.

 his frequent escapes from prison The gendarmes became intensely interested, and finally asked the prisoner whether he could really escape from a regulation cell. Certainly" was the reply. But" persisted the incredulous policeman, how could you manage to do it?" 'Ill show you" said the burglar, anxious to obllge; and while the gendarme watched him with Wide-open eyes he mounted to the window of the little apartment, opened it, climbed through and-van- 1shed! Perfectly simple, you see," were his last words, as he finally disappeared rom view in the street outside.

FOR THE RIGHTS OF MAN,

MT. Balfour, in his speech on the Iransvaal war, said that Great Britain is fighting for 'the rights of man." So are Dom Paul and his stout Boers. MT. Balfour is probably sure that the Lord is on the side of the English and Dom Paul has expressed an abiding faith that the Lord is on the side of the Boers. When the rights of man have been established and when it has been made entirely plain where the Lord is in the controversy there will be joy and thanksgiving among the conquerors. It IS a noble thing to fight for the rights of man, and 1t is blessed and profitable thing to enjoy the favor of the Lord in war.

back on them, they probably would be completely satisfied. The early affecta- tion of heavy wear and bagginess is giving way to the trimmest specialized tailor -mades for automobile use. There is no danger of mud from the horses
 hoofs, and it is as easy to step into an automobile as into it's owners front door. Indeed, the mounting is going to be a feature of the ride. When horses champed at the bit, beauty always had rather a hustled feeling when she mounted. Now she will go in for high seat that she may fitly display her per- feet setting habit as she climbs.
 In such extravagant notions there is but one thing that women of the mill lion can or care to copy. That is the attire. Most of the suits abound in new ideas and are as readily reproduced as though, they were for ordinary wear. Here are pair of the trig gowns. The left hand one was striped red and black camers hear, the lacing of silk cord and buttons and the odd cut of the jacket being its new features. Of even more unsual cut was the bodice DOT tion of the other suit, which combined gray and white cloths as indicated. Odd jacket bodices are now at a premium, and these will be as suitable to walk ing as to electric go-carts. Used as planned, such suits are ac- companied by sWagger scarlet-piped cassock cloak and visored cap with a scarlet cord. FLORETTE.

SIX T'TM ES.

Man is indeed poor critter. Here is Sir Thomas Lipton, worth fifty million dollars or so, and here are his American opponents with even more money than that. But the whole combined crowd, with all their wealth and influence can't buy or beg enough wind for one race. By and by, perhaps to-day, the wind will blow where it listeth, and then the yachts will sail.
 Six times. Did you ever? Who would have thought it? It is said that it has cost Sir Thomas Lipton over $S0o,000 to get ready for the race, and that it is costing him about $10,000 a day to wait for the race. Verify he has sporting blood in his veins. He has behaved so well over here that if he goes home with the coveted cup in his the woe of this country will not be unmitigated. If the cup is to go, it is certainly lingering as long as possible

Secretary Long very properly and appropriately spoke the other day of the heroic action of Commander Wainwright, who shattered Spanish torpedo boats in a very bold and ef1i- cient way. And now we read that Lieutenant I. V. Gillis has been detach- ed from duty at the Indian Head prov ing grounds in order to be granted recognition for an impressive act of on the Santiago blockade. It was he who, when nearly spent Spanish torpedo was running toward the United States torpedo boat Porter, jumped into the water, threw his arms around the projectile turned it from It's course, and then rendered it harmless by unscrewing its detonating pin-its 'war-nose." It was for this that he was given command of the torpedo boat Porter

The islands were conquered by priests, not by soldiers.

The land has been divided into number of sections and several seed beds have been laid out in which there have been planted over million small trees of different varieties. The students of forestry will study the theory of the subject from October to April, and from then until commencement they will study the practical side of forestry.

The tides in the Bay of Fundy are generally supposed to be the greatest in the world, and have been stated to have a range as great as 120 feet, Measurements taken at different local ities have been lately given by w. Bell Dawson. From his figures it ap- pears that the highest recorded tide was 52.80 feet this having been noted in 1869 in Cumberland bay, where the ordinary spring tide range is 45 1-2 feet. The range is 50 1-2 feet at Noel bay, 27 feet at Digby and St. John, 16 feet at Yarmouth, and six or seven feet in the Atlantic outside. W. H. Wheeler points out that these tides are equalled in the Bristol channel, where at Chepstow an extreme range of 50 feet has been known. In both the British and the Canadian localities the highest rise above the mean level of the sea is from p to 23 feet.

A notable showing of the present reg 1stration in New Orleans is the small negro vote registered, the Picayune (Democrat) of that city says. -Four years ago there were more than four teen thousand colored voters registered; whereas the present lists include not much more than twelve hundred color ed voters, and it is reasonable to as- sume that this nubmer includes the more intelligent and conservative class of colored men. For the first time in years past the black vote will play no important part in municipal election, and to that extent, at least, local poli- tics will be bettered by the elimination of factor which was entirely pur- chasable quantity, and consequently a serious menace to good government"
