that the common claret wines. grown il
the neighborhood of Oporto and drunk by
the peasantry, are often dearer than the
costliest yintages Of the portwine district.
The apparent anomaly is accounted for by
the fact that, while the commoner wine is
drinkabIe within six months after leaving
the vat the young port wine, as the
trade puts it, has then gone but one stage
of it's long journey. It has TO be kept
longer, to be racked, TO be fined, to be
skillfuIIy turned over to be carefully
watched, perhaps TO be fortified with dis
titled wine.
Before all this, ii has to be carried Oh
a perilous voyage down the Douro, to pay
warehouse charges in Oporto, and again in
England, or wherever II goes; to pay tax
ON export and q heavy import duty, beside
merchants profits, freight and insurance
charges. Therefore, port wine must need
start very cheap indeed, or none but mil
lionaires could ever taste it. Any wine
farmer in Portugal Will sell you a quart
of honest red wine for milreis to the value
of about cents in our currency. But at
that early age it would hardly recommend
itself 10 the cultivated taste. The port wine
trade is a good deal of monopoly, but a
legitimate one, resulting from capital in
vested and skill and knowledge applied.

ARMY CONTRACT SURGEONS.
Bills for Their Relief Prepared by
General Sternberr

Surgeon General Sternberg, of the ARMY
has prepared two bills for introduction at
the coming session of Congress for the re-
lief of the acting assistant surgeons now
in the military service. When the con-
tract surgeons were authorized by Congress
for the Army during the war with Spain no
provision whatever was made for their pay
ment during illness contracted in the SER
vice or due 10 wounds A contract sur
geOns pay ceased when he was ordered
home on sick leave.
The bill prepared by General Sternberg
provides that acting assistant surgeons in
the Army Of the United States shall have
the same rights and privileges as regards
leave of absence as commissioned officers
OF the Army, and that acting assist2nt sur
geons in the Army of the United States
who have been appointed since the 1st day
of May, 1898, who have been absent from
duty by proper authority on account of
sickness contracted in the service shall be
paid for the time of such absence at the
rate per month specified in their con-
tracts
Another error which the Surgeon General
believes should be remedied was made IN
the act authorizing the appointment of
surgeons TO volunteer regiments recently
organized and sent to the Philippines.
Congress authorized the appointment TO
each Of these regiments of one surgeon
with the rank of major one with the rank
of captain, and one with the rank of lieu
tenant While the rank Of captain was
designated, the bill failed to stipuate that
the surgeons should draw the pay of that
rank, and the Comptroller of the Treasury
has held that these surgeons can draw onIy
the pay of lieutenants. To remedy this it
is proposed to advocate the passage of a
bill providing that assistant surgeons in
Z ha Of
commissioned by the President as captains
are entitled to the pay of captain mount
ed from the date of their acceptance of
such commission as prescribed by law

found that gentleman engaged in a

they were from Bourbon and they
insisted that they had never been

who had driven several hundred
miles and then turned back and
they believed no more. An inquiry
revealed the fact that the man who
lead the discussion was Democrat,
W hich accounts for much.

A Tramp Killed at Bronson.

The REGISTER is indebted to Mr.
Ed Cummings of Bronson for report
of an accident which occurred in that
town Wednesday by which tramp
lost his lite. 1t appears that two
tramps, an old man and boy, were
riding in box Car on the east bound
freight, and as the train pulled into
the town the boy tried to get out of
the small door at the end of the car
to go and try to get something to eat.
He got out OF the door and down onto
the coupling safely, tut when he
tried to swing himself out from be-
tween the cars the hand hold on the
side Of the car gave way, letting him
drop on the rails In such way that
the cars passed over both legs, crush
ing one just below the knee and the
other at the ankle. The boy, he was
only twelve years of age, was carried
into the depot and physicians were
called who administered opiates and
did what they could to ease his suf-
fering. He told them that his name
was John Ingold, and that his par
ents lived at Keokuk, Iowa, but that
he had not heard from them for
three months, A telegram was sent
to Keokuk but up to this morning no
response was received. When the
evening passenger came by the boy
was taken to the county poor farm
al Uniontown, where his legs were
amputated at about nine o'clock
But the shock had been TOO great and
the little waif died at eleven. The
old man who was with him, and to
whom he seemed much attached
stayed with him till the end and was
deeply affected by the boV's suffer-
ings and death.

A Snake Story,

Tuesday night as Harry Mcneil,
BohiA spinall and j. +. Powell were
walking along West Madison avenue,
they saw n snake of goodly proper
tions lying across the walk. The
gentlemen's wives were with Ihem
and SO they had to make a show of
courage, although all confessed to a
longing to run. The women drew
back and those man searched on tip
toe until they found clubs. Then they
closed IN on the snake and gave the
unoffending reptile a drubbng
which was delight to see-so say
those who saw it. After beating its
head nearly off Mr.. Aspinall caught
his breath and cried, It's dead.n At
this moment the snake started across
the walk and with cries of "No it
isn't" the attack was renewed Soon
the men had pounded the brick walk
with their clubs until their hands
were bruised and sore, and then the
two small boys who had enjoyed the
fun from behind the nearby fence
dragged the snake away and rose up
to explain. The snake was made of
cloth. The much chagrined warriors
told the boys to keep still
about it and they would be for
given. The boys informed them
that half dozen crowds had killed
the snake already and one crowd of
women screamed and.ran delightfully."-.
The boys were Clyde Hutton and
Harry Dunaway.
