thorities at Manila.
First Lieut.. Robert E. Carmody. of
Washington, an officer of the Marine Corps,
was lost at sea October 19 or %, dispatches
differing as to the exact date. Lieutenant
Carmody was stationed at Guam with the
Marine Corps but becoming i'll was ar
dered to Manila and with several other Of
licers, boarded the hospital ship Relief.
When the ship reached Manila Lieutenant
Carmody was reported as having been lost
at sea- This information was conveyed to
Washington but no details of his disap-
pearance are given in the dispatches. 1t
is thought that he became delirious and
jumped or fell overheard. a despatch re-
ceived at the War Department by Quarter
master General Ludington states that
Lieutenant Carmody was lost October 13
while Admiral Watson cabled the Navy
Department that the officer was missed Oc-
tober %.
Lieutenant Carmody was one of the best
known young men in Washington. He was
a son of Paymaster ]. r. Carmody, retired,
of the Marine Corps, now living at 1920
Sixteenth Street northwest. He attended
the Georgetown University and was prOmi-
nent in athletic circles. He was captain
OF the University eleven IN 1899 and 1896,
and as half back acquired a national rep
utation as a football player. He was one
of the most popular young men in the
University.
Lieutenant Carmody first saw service in
the Marine Corps during the war with
Spain, when on May 29 1898, he was ap-
pointed a second lieutenant in the volunteer
Marine Corps, and after seven months
service was honorably discharged, the dis
charge dating from December 81, 1898. On
April 15, 1899 he was appointed a first
lieutenant in the United States Marine
Corps. Shortly after his appointment he
was ordered to Guam with the marine bat
talon sent out last spring.

MORE PosToFFICE CLERKS.
4 Bin Asking for the Increase to
Como Refore CongrcsA

1t Is probable that about a thousand ad-
ditional clerks Will be taken into the Post
Office Department during the winter. Tbs
increase in the force will be made II the
bill now being prepared under the First
Assistant Postmaster General, Ferry 5.
Heath. is passed by the next Congress. Ac-
cordiug to Chief George W. Beavers Of
the salary and allowance division VINO will
have charge of the matter before the 'isnct-
and House of Representatives the bill viii
probably become a law. The addition TO
the force. it is said will make many pro-
motions among the clerks already in the
office. The Postofice Department empiSyes
receive the lowest salaries in the Govern
ment service. and it is the aim to raise sas
pay Of the more efficient clerks by advans-
ing them, and introducing the new eDl~
pioyes into the lower grades. The mini
mum salary of these new clerks viii BE-
$500 per annum.
Mr. Heath is also making an effort to
secure for clerks throughout the country
vacations, at appropriate times, with pay.
The stand Mr.. Heath takes is that If the
clerks in the other departments can be al
lowed thirty days leave each year on va
cation, and thirty or sixty days sick leave
as we'll with pay, all the clerks in the
Postotfice Department ought to be allowed
at least fifteen days vacation each year,
and receive their pay ct the same time.
Last year, for the first time in the his
tory of the department, a number Of
clerks in the postal department were grant
ed leave of absence and substitutes were
provided. out of a special appropriation.
Only clerks, however, in the first and sec
ond grades of postoffices could be thus
treated. because of the smailness of the
appropriation. This year it will be one OF
MIR. Heaths efforts to have this appropria-
tiOn increased to enable substitutes to be
provided for ali clerks in the service, at
certain times, so that a short vacation may
be enjoyed.
1t has been the custom in the past in the
PostofIlce Department 10 take on additional
men at the summer and winter resorts
The increase in the business at these places
during the past few years makes change

1t was learned at the Navy Department
yesterday that Secretary Long, in his forth
coming report, viii recommend the con-
struction of a number Of gunboats of about
1000 tons displacement each, for use in the
Philippines. Secretary Long has had under
advisement the practicability of building
three first-class cruisers, but he has finally
concluded that the money can be more
profitably expended on the smaller type of
vessels -
It is likely that the vessels OF the class
decided upon will be necessary for service

largest audience drawn this week, 10 make
the solitary uncTeditable production of its
repertoire. Though the possible object in
view was achieved, it is doubtful if the
move could be called q wise one. The or
ganiZation had created so good an impress
sion with its II TrovaJOre' and so ex-
celIent a one with its "CavaIIeria Rusti-
cana" that the regret felt at the manner
in which the work of Georges Bizet was
sung yester- r-eyeuing was universal.
The general apathy that almost ruined
the performance was not confined to the
cast. The entire troupe appeared wanting
in that spirit and fire so necessary to the
correct rendering OF Carmen" The or
chestra seemed disorganized and the
chorus. which has been all that the most
demanding could require was vOcally weak
there was none. Briefly, the evening might
have been counted lost by those assembled
but for the magnificent work Of ]. K Muir
ray, whose portrayal Of Escamillo was
simply admirable. The Carmen OF Clara
Lane was disappointingly commonplace
after her SantuZZa. Miss Lane showed
none Of that feline, sinuous grace; none Of
the insinuation and suggestion so marked
in Calve-that was so marked even in
Lizzie Macnichol. And while she improved
toward the end of the opera. she was never
wholly satisfactory. Payne Clarke sang
the part of Jose in throaty tones, and
acted under the evident impression that
Carmen" was a farce. The remainder OF
the cast was not much better. the entire
presentation. if not without merit. being
much inferior TO its predecessors

WHEN THE HOPS ARE ON THE VINE.

An one big dufer eats melon an rine
When the hops are on the vine.

On the streets, sit before the door
or every business house an store,
Shaking hands and smoking pipe
All OF them seem just alike;
An one big duffer eats melon an rine
When the hops are on the vine.
Out in the Yards there's jolly clique
When the hops are ripe to pick
Telling tales and singing songs
As they swiftly work along,
Till up there drives the baker shop;
Then all the work seems forgot
Three big loaves for single dime
When the hops are on the vine.
Then II goes on, hum, hum as before,
But soon the butcher comes to the door.
He's just slaughtered Dams old steer.
Guess them hops'll make fine beer"
He says, an smaks his lips, jes so,
An boilers out his price-you know

Along soon comes the wandering Jew;
Got dry goods. notions and shoe;
He'd packed them round for many miles;

He makes dime an has time

Then there is laughter an there is rhyme

THE SHEEP MUST Co."
Ironieal Comments on Their Exclusion from
Forest Reserves.


Forest Reserves.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson spent
three day in Oregon recently, says the
Prineville (Oregon) Journal, and after
giving the matter careful thought and
critical examination from the balcony of
the Hotel Portland, states that sheep are
ruinous to the forest reserves and must
be excluded therefrom. He likely got
his opinions at second hand from those
who have special interest in the exclu-
sion OF sheep, or are simply theorists
like himself. The opinions of men who
have spent years in the forest reserve
and seen and know the effects of grazing
are worthless to them.
This threatened expulsion of sheep
from the reserves and leasing of range,
are measures aimed directly at the sheep
industry. Cattle and horses roam at
will on the reserves and cannot be pre-
vented unless they are fenced at govern
ment expense, hence the sheep will have
to go. This industry has great political
significance. 1t has been and is today a
prime factor of republican success, es.
peclally IN Oregon. Flock masters all
over the Union have been appealed to
with good effect, and now the hand they
fawned upon is raised to deal deadly
blow. And it will be dealt. College
professors of the effete and measly East,
sporismen of the wild and woody West,
and damphools everywhere, assert that
the sheep pulls up the young pine seed
ling by the roots and in a delirium of
mirth over its success cavorts around,
bending, splintering and breaking down
saplings and knocking the bark off the,
giants o. the forests until they die.
Such fearful waste must stop. The
sheep must go.
