STATES or VARIOUS ARMIES
A Valuable Compilation Issued by Officials of inc War Department.

Washington, Feb. 5.-There is a certain part of the army which has al- ways been in favor of d general sta organization, instead of the cumDer- some institution of corps, which have been the cause of so much jealousy in the present establishment A stroke in behalf of the change to something like the German system, mas been made by those in charge Of the mili- tary information division of the war department in the compilation and issue of volume entitled -'Staffs O. Various Armies" The book IS pub lished as it's editors announce in an introduction, With a view Of giving to the army and to others a short syn opsis of the composition, duties and numbers of officers on so-called staff service in various armies" No book of recent date giving this information in compact form is available, and on that account it is thought the present publication will prove of value.
 It is doubtful if anything is accom- plished in the direction of changing the staff system of our own army, for those most affected by any new idea possess sufficient influence to defeat any department plan to that end. Al though it is undeniable that the pres ent system has shown it's inadequacy, no two experts in organization can agree upon another method Of dis

The volume from the mili- tary information division treats of the subject fully, and contains some use full information in an introduction, which is a translation from German authority on the subject. The duties of the general staff, as defined the. e are as follows:

HOW THE RECESSSIONAL" WAS
 CREATED.

NIT. Kipling thus describes how he came to write The Recess;onal:
 That poem gave me more trouble than anything I ever wrote. I had promised the Times a poem on the jubilee, and when it became due I had written nothing that satisfied me. The Times began to want that poem badly and sent letter after letter asking for it. made many more attempts, but no further progress.
 Finally the Times began sending >telegrams. So I shut myself in my room, with the determination to stay there until 1 had written a jubilee poem. Sitting down with all my previ- GUS attempts before me, I searched through those dozens of sketches, till at last I found just one line I liked. That was Lest we forget Round these words The Recessional' was written. Boston Globe.

BosToN's DRY DOCK.
An Unusual Number of Firms Bidding
 For the Work.

Washington, Feb. Bids will be opened tomorrow at the navy depart ment for the big stone dry dock to be
 built at the Boston navy yard. Sixty firms have asked for plans and speci- f1cations, depositing S100 in each case for the drawings. The demand for the plans has been unprecedented, and in dicates that the bidding will be spirited.
 The bureau of construction and re- pair of the navy department has start ed in on the preliminary plans for the larger ships included in the secretary of the navy's estimates for men Of war. The experts have been furnish ed with the drawings of the most re- gently planned foreign vessels of like class and by the time the appro- priation is ready the constructors will have completed the advance sketches of the ships.

crust on the feet, enabling the geese
 to travel over great distances. l After eleven days discusstcn in com
 mittee at Wellington, New Zealand | the oldage pension bill has. been
 passed on the third reading in the house of representatives by 6 majority
 of ten. The bill provides that every
 person of the age of 65 and upward, of good moral character. whose yearly in- come does not exceed 4 34, and who
 has resided for twenty-five years in the colony, will be entitled to a pen sion of G18 per annum. Hitherto the poor of New Zealand have been reiiev- ed almost entirely by the state, chari- able institutions for that purpose do- ing but a small part of the work. It is expected now that sixty-five hun dred persons will during the first year draw the e18, or part of it, and that about G100,000 will be so expended. So far there is no mention of addition al taxation in connection with the scheme.
 The historic old Jumel mansion, on Washington Heights, now known as Earlclif, is going to be moved from the site it has occupied for 40 years. It was built in 1758 by Colonel Roger Morris, and at one time in the revolu- tionary war was used as Washington $ headquarters. It was purchased sev- eral years ago by General Ferdinand P. Earle, and has been occupied since by him and his family Finding the whole property greater expense than they wished to carry the Earles will sell most of 1t, reserving for their own use a plot on Edgecombe avenue, and One Hundred and SiXty-second street To this site the old mansion will be moved in the spring.

 Some boys gained entrance to the l high school and few minutes after 9 i o'clock the bell there began to sound. i Whether or not this was an arranged
 signal, the parade began to move as the high school bell rang out. 1t was on the order Of a ragamuffin show. The members of the band were attired 1 as "hayseeds." They wore most gro- tesque costumes, all typical of the backwoods farmer Their polished instruments were hidden under various devices, which added to appearances,
 but did not interfere with the noise.
 The members of the board of council
 were all in the parade, not in person,
 but ill the shape of bu1lesque figures
 Each figure had the name of coun- cilman attached. lest some one should fail to identify it. After the burlesque On the councilmen came enc of the mayor and trailing behind was one of the president of the Womens Chris tian Temperance Union, a woman who is most highly respected, but who was mainly instrumental in having the cErfew law passed, and suffered ac- ccrdingly. The procession after a short march made the rounds Of the houses of the mayor and councilmen. and there were calls for speeches, which were not responded to.
 Probably the most unhappy man in town tonight was the marshal. Upon him devolves the duty of enforcing the new law. The crowds in the streets last night made it needful that he should be very much in evidence. Un- like those who made the law, he could not hide himself behind darkened win dows. He had to be out in the light His position is usually a sinecure, but last night he looked as if he wished he had never gotten it It is said no ar rests will be made for a few days 1

THE PATTON GRAND.

Those who fail to see "Tennessee's s Pardner" at the Patton Grand on Wednesday night, February s, will miss one of the best comedy-dramas that has ever come to Phoenix The play suggests, rather than closely fol- Jews Bret Hartes exquisite story of the mining camp. It is bright and clean, not overdrawn and has dis tinct vein of comedy which brightens it wonderfully. The characters are well balanced and each actor. in his or her own way, appeals specially to the audience. "Tennessee's Pardner' has been a pronounced success for the past two seasons under Arthur C. Ais tons management and he has retained the principal mem bers of the company who have been identified with the play for this, the third consecutive success- full tour

CURFEW DIDN'T RING
ANeW Jersey Town Violates
 inc New Law.
But Biz Factory Whistle Sounded inc WarRing-peOpIc Turned Out fO BurieSque inc COunCiimen Who Passed inc Ordinance.

Vineland, N. J., Feb. 5.-Midnight
 Lad come and gone last night before
 Vineland ceased to celebrate the com
 ing of the curfew. Midnight saw the
 new law being violated by the larger
 portion of the young folks, for they
 with their elders had come out to see
 the fun No bell rang the hour of cur
 few. for no bell was available for the
 purpose. The fire department bell could not be had, because the com missioners opposed the curfew and de
 cIared that their big bell was never
 intended as an aid to enforcing an un- American law There Is only one church bell big enough for curfew pur-
 poses, and the clergyman of that church is the leader of the "antis. All effort was made to obtain the high school bell, but the members of the school board don't like the curfew Ordi- nance, and quoted poetry to the effect that ''Curfew shall not ring tonight"
 The members of the board of cOun- cil, however, have been bOasting for a ; eek that the hour of curfew would be sounded all right last night at 3 o'clock, when the ordinance went into effect. Sound it did, and in fashion and with a vehemence that almost up- set the plans for the celebration. The streets were crowded to see the pro cession which was to start at the hour Of curfew. Big and little, those who were to parade and those who were to look on, were armed with bells. These ranged from little sleigh bells to big dinner annunciators. HaWkers came down from Philadelphia with great store of cheap bells and tin horns, and as the hour of curfew approached the din became appalling. Tin horns weSe all in use and every bell clapper was hot
 Suddenly the whole town was thrown into confusion and alarm, for cut above the din sounded the long q avn blasts of one of the factory whistles. The sound is never heard at night except when there is a fire, and then only when it is Q big one, or the factory itself is in danger. The fire men hurried to their quarters, and the crowds in the street, with one impulse, started for the scene of the rang out. from. one big 'Fbull whistle," ;and those who counted reached nine and stopped. Then it began to dawn on some and slowly ! spread to all. that the council had modernized things, and had sounded i curfew, not on the time-honOred bell, | but on a whistle. The success of the 1 council was annoying to those who | boasted they had impounded every ! available bell. The council had out 1 witted them, and had succeeded in | making not only every one i'll Vine land hear curfew sounded, but every
