Otis VIII Remain,

New York, July "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
president has no intention of relieving
General Otis from the military command
in the Philippines. He mad thought Sc
riously at one time of assigning an Off
Ger of high rank to command the forces
in the field, leaving General Otis to per-
form the administrative duties of governor
general. The president had two PROPOSE
tionS before him, one to make LawtOn
the commanding officer of the fighting
forces and the other to send Merritt back
to his old place. The latter assignment
would mean the subordination of General
Otis as governor general to General Mer-
rift. who outranks him by regular as well
as volunteer title Both these ideas have
now been abandoned. Speaking for the
president, cabinet officer said
"Why should General Otis be relieved
unless he had some reason for asking to
be sent back to the United States? Inc
president has had no reason to find fault
with his work. 1t is true he has not Gnd-
ell the war, but he has certainly made
much progress and has shown himself
equal to every emergency. He has taken
good care of the troops, and has shown
himself capable of handling large bodies
of men. He has made known his general
plans of the operations when the cam
paign begins in the fall. and the experts
here, together with the president, con-
slider that he has a thorough and practi-
cal programme mapped out for his fu-
ture work To remove him now would
be an admission that he had failed. We
cannot admit this, for certainly the off,
cisl dispatches from the Philippines show
a material extension of our lines far be-
yond the points controlled by Spain. To
place a new commander in control of
the troops and make him independent of
General Otis would cause no end of frc-
ticn. There can be but one intrusted with
plenary powers and l can repeat that
the president is well satisfied to trust Cen
eral Otis with those powers
Notwithstanding this administrative
view favorable to General Otis, it can be
stated that some officials here have pri-
vate information which tends to confirm
the press reports of the appropriately of
General Otis with many officers of his
command t'

The story of what marksmen can do
in battle is written in red letters all
over the history of war. remarks the
Boston Herald The famous English
archers whose cloth yard shafts won SO
many fights at desperate odds against
the mail clad knights of France. the
embattled farmers whose deadly aim
was so fatal on the Lexington road and
the slopes of Bunker Hill. the grim
slaughter which broke Pakenham' S
veteran regiments at New Orleans-all
are proofs in point. Later evidence of
the value of straight shooting is afford
ed by that strange war in which the
Dutch Beers won the neutrality-suspicious.
which they now enjoy.
In this contest there was on one side
burgher force with slight pretensions
to discipline. and none at all to drill
and ON the other side British force

perfection of soldiership. yet the Beers
were victorious in every encounter on

A POINTER rotate Plantsng.

/ wish to put myself on record as ad-
vocating the exact opposite of what
ever saw printed before in regard to
the subject of the selection of smooth
eyed potatoes for seed. Now, the fea-
lures of the eyes of a potato are the
characteristics of the type or variety
when originated. and when the potato
begins to run out, through various
causes, the eye always gets smoother
and smaller, never larger; hence select
the tubers with the ''stem" eyes pro-
truding and the eyes of the middle and
main seeded eyes that show a bulge be-
low the eye-thst is. toward the stem
end. Any tendency toward eoarseness
will be eradicated under ordinary field
culture and the use of small seed. as
many are compelled to use. If your
field selection has been large enough,
you may use the smooth and medium
sized stock for crop purposes with ex-
cellent results, using the best speci-
mems only for seed propagation. The
protruding stem and eyes will give best
results if four or five ounces are Sc
cured, but if there should be more than
one eye to three ounces cut the poorer
one out, as the above class of eyes will
throw several original stalks The in
dented eyes in the middle and toward
the seed end are generally single stalk
producers, and two eyes may be used,
clipping out extra eyes if less than five
ounces. Use no small pieces in any case.

'sI'll send it to you tomorrow, and he
did.
On his return to his own home be

and he proudly boosted to his wife that
he was glad to see that he had not yet
lost his power to please. All went well
until his wife received this note:
"Dear Mrs.. ---, won't you please

The EIaer Got the nest one.


An account Of the life of Judge James
B. Bradwell of Chicago by his daugh-
ter tells story of the deeply religious
training of his childhood He had the
old fashioned faith in the efficacy OF
prayer before he was of sufficient age
to understand the reasonable limits of
such petitions.
Once. when James was only 8 years
old, the wagon was sent to Chicago for
provisions. Five days elapsed. The
wagon was detained. and the Bradwell
family was without food and without
a man to provide it. Little James. as
usual with even small boys of the time
and place. was good shot His mother
loaded the gun for him, and he started
out to see what he could shoot to sup
ply the table.
In due time he saw two prairie chick
ems not far away. He got his gun ready
and then took long enough to pray
thus:
30 Father. if you will just let me
bring down those two chickens / II give
your minister the choice of the pairl'
The trigger was pulled and down
came the two prairie chickens. James
believed the shot to be direct answer
to his prayer. He took the two birds to
Elder Snow. the minister. and told him
of the circumstances.
The good elder took long time to
examine the two chickens, in order to
be quite sure that he got the better of
the two, because. he said, he thought
it best that the boys compact should
be faithfully carried out

How the Immortal Abe Won His
Early Successes at the Bar.
A snit was brought in the United
States court in Springfield against a
citizen for an infringement of patent
right. Mr.. Lincoln was employed tc

animation so scientifically that many
witnesses were bothered to reply. When
his witnesses were put on the stand, SC
skilIful were his questions that the
court, the jury and the bar wondered
how Abe Lincoln knew SO much about
mechanism. His witnesses could reply
promptly. He gained the suit and a
reputation such that Mr.. Lincoln was

Cure Fer HOE ChoIera.

]. W. Davis, farmer and hog breed
er of Lamoille, Ills. says there is no
need of farmers having hog cholera
among their hogs. He has never had
any-at least not since he found ont
the cause and how to remove 1t. He
says hog cholera is caused by fever and
the fever by worms. which two tea
spoonfuls Of saleratus dissolved in wa
ter and poured into the sIop will re-
move When you notice hog not do
ing well, when it refuses its feed and
begins to look scrawny and sick, the
chances are 80 to 100 it has worms. If
you kill one and examine it, you will
find bunch of worms in its intestines
perhaps as large as your fist. These
cause constipation and fever. which kill
hogs. Oftentimes the worms will eat
through the intestines into the stomach.
Dissolved saleratus in proportion of two
teaspoonfuls to every gallon Of water
will kill the worms and almost imme-
diately your hogs will begin to thrive

THE FINGER TIPS.
'fheir Remarkable Value In the tdcn-
tfacatIon of Criminals.

:
tfhcutI0m of Criminals.
In detective novels finger prints left
by criminals, preferably in blood, play
an important part, bnt truth seems
stranger than fiction in the fact that
the finger print system of identifying
criminals in India has been made so
perfect that it would enable any intelli-
gent person in few minutes to distin-
gish the individual, If necessary, from
all other persons now living in the
world, or, if data were available, from
all other persons who have lived since
the creation Of man.
The system is simplicity itself, and
there is none CT the elaboration of proc
ess or the costly and delicate machinery
required for the anthropometric system.
All that is needed is piece of tin. a
sheet Of paper and some printers ink.
The linked impressions of the ten digits
are taken and filed in the proper com
partment of the proper pigeonh de, and
it is ON the classification of records and
their distribution into the pigeonholes
that the success of the system depends.
Every finger mark shows lines of the
"loop, or the 'swhorl' type, and by a
simple table of the combinations Of
these types in the ten digits ,024 main
classes are made. These are again sub
divided according to minor details, and
the subdivisions can be further divided
ad infinitum if necessary. but with the
table before him any person of ordinary
intelligence can place his finger on the
corresponding card to record in his
hand within five minutes no matter
how many thousand cards there may be.
1t is calculated that the chances are
about 81, 600, 900 TO 1 against any tive
persons having single fingers identical,
and the chances against all ten fingers
being identical go beyond mathematics
altogether.
