MILEAGE OF ARMY MEN.
ny an Interpretation OF the New Law
This Considerable Item Is
Topped on.

Transfers Of officers Of the army to
foreign stations has presented the
question Of transportation and the item
Of mileage, which has become a great
expense to the country. The new law
provides that officers travelling under
orders to the island possessions shall
be paid actual expenses only. The
comptroller Of the treasury has been
asked TO determine whether this law
goes into effect at once, whether il Gov
ers that part of the journey which is in
the United States and in the island pos
sessions or whether it applies to water
travel only.
The comptroller holds the PrOviso be
came operative and went into effect on
the approval of the act, March 3, 1899;
that If an officer travels under orders
without troops, when authorized by
law, from an inland point in the United
States to an inland point in our island
possessions, or vice versa, he is not en-
titled to mileage for any part of his
journey either on land or water, but IN
lieu Of mileage is entitled, when 50
travelling, to actual expenses only from
the place where he starts to the end Of
his journey; and that the Proviso
should not cease TO apply when the Of
ficer reaches the shores either of one
of the islands or the United States IN
til the journey is completed. This de-
cision means a material looping of in
the mileage cost Of the government,
and viii be received by army officers
with much disappointment.

One Of the most amusing features Of
the dramatic breakfasts given at the
Astoria in New York was the childish
curiosity of society women" concern
ing the actresses who came to witness
their husbands performances. The
fact that they were quite as well bred
in looks and appearance as themselves,
and talk and move like ordinary beings
when Of the stage, seems to interest
them most. Even now nine persons out
