SEARCHED FOR WEAPONS
PISTOLS AND RAZORS TAKEN
FROM SOLDIERS.
Boys Were Too Free With Pocket War
Implements - Letter From Deputy
Marshal Causes Military Action.

This morning Major Henry Wygant,
commander of the troops on the trans
port City of Para, sent an orderly to
the police station to inform Deputy
Marshal Chillingworth that in future,
the men in his charge would not be al
lowed to come ashore with pistols,
razors, knives nor dangerous weapons
of any kind. This was in reply to the
following letter addressed to the major
by Chillingworth yesterday afternoon:
Il beg to call your attention to the
fact that the colored troops, who arriv-
ed here on the United States transport
City of Para yesterday, are allowed to
leave that vessel with weapons obvi-
Ously and imminently dangerous to life
such as revolvers and razors. Several
complaints have been made to this Of
flee and unless the weapons are taken
away form these men, they will be sub
ject to arrest on the charge of violating
Section 6SS, Penal Laws, which pro-
hibts the carry of deadly weapons
without being authorized by law"
The cause of the letter to the major
was the liberal display by the colored
soldiers on the streets of shooting irons,
razors and bayonets, the latter being
concealed in their leggins. Yesterday
afternoon, in a quarrel between SOL
diers at the corner of Fort and King
streets, one drew a razor and threaten
Su " carve up MS COIlGdOe. Inc racket
was quelled by policeman. Complaints
have come in from various places that
the soldiers have fiourished pistols.
This was done several times in China
town.
This morning there was an interest
ing little time at the Oceanic wharf,
where the City of Para is lying. AS the
men marched down the gangway each
was searched for weapons. A few pis-
tolls, razOrs and a large number of
knives We're found. These were all
taken charge of by the officers and
tagged There was quite a pile of the
mosquito" war implements. When the
soldiers came ashore they had absolute
ly nothing to fight with, if they felt dis
posed so to do.
One thing noticed, and which was far
from the intentions of the police de-
partment, was that the troops came
ashore this morning for exercise with
out rifles-nOt even having bayonets-
and the officers We're without their
swords. Deputy Marshal Chillingworth
explains that his note referred merely
and exclusively to men on liberty.

point; every one has his faults. We
may make the worst of these. We
may fix our attention constantly

the best of one another. We may
forgive even as we hope to be for
given. We may put ourselves in the
place of others and ask what we
should wish to be done to us and
thought of us were we in their
place. By loving whatever is low
able in those around us love will
flow back from them to us, and life
will become a pleasure instead Of a

The Pipes Antiquity.

In Asia and Africa, beside Amer
ica, the pipe dates from prehistoric
times, and in Europe generally it
has been in use since and during the
Roman period, if not before. One Of
the most learned antiquarians--D Dr..
Petrie says that smoking pipes Of
bronze are frequently found in Irish
tumuli. or .sepulchIal mounds, Of
the most remote antiquity.

A day is the name for the time in
which the earth rotates once and a
month for the time in which the
moon revolves once, says Professor
George H. Darwin in The Atlantic.
Then, since tidal friction retards the
earth s rotation and the moons rev.
olution, we may state that the day
and the month are now lengthening
at different rates which are calcula-
BILE, although the absolute rates in
time are unknown. 1t will suffice
for general comprehension of the
problem to know that the present
rate of increase of the day is much
more rapid than that of the month,
and that this will hold good in the
future. Thus the number of rota-
tons of the earth in the interval
comprised in one revolution of the
moon diminishes, or. in other words,
the number of days in the month di-
minshes, although the length of each
day increases SO rapidly that the
month itself is longer than at pres
ent. For example, when the day shall
be equal in length to two of our actu-
al days the month may be as long as
81 of our days and the earth will
spin round only about IS times in
the month.

THE coLoNEL,s LOVE.

Perhaps So" replied the Ken

II don't see how you could be. It
so often happens that people do not
know their own minds.
There was no room for doubt in
this case. Wewere out sleigh riding
the evening the colonel proposed to
me. ! had refused him several times
before, and I told him then that /
would always esteem him as a
friend. We heard the jingle of bells
behind us. The colonel's horse, a
thoroughbred of which he was very
proud, quickened its pace at the
sound. The colonel looked around
and exclaimed: Here's the chance
I've been waiting for. That's Judge

THE colonel slowed up so as to
let the judge overtalSe him. The
Judge didn't dare refuse the chal-
lenge because he, had a girl with
him. He wouldn 4 allow himself to
be humiliated in her eyes. AS soon
as the two sleighs were even the
colonel gave our horse a cut with
the whip, and away we went the
animals with Iiecks eagerly extend

dashboards trying to help them
along. For few seconds the horses
feet thumped on the road in perfect
rhythm, then we began to move
ahead. The village was about mile
distant, and the colonel leaned out,
turned and shouted:
Judge, I'll see you at the post
officel'
"The Judge gave his horse blow
with the whip, but he was already
using all the speed he had. I turned
around, half out of the sleigh, to
keep lookout. The sleigh struck
bowlder and pitched me out into
snowdrift. WASN'T hurt, and gave
thanks when | saw the sleigh had
not wholly overturned and was
speeding on its way to the postofice,

judge. Imagine my astonishment
