GEN. EAGANE PAY.
The Usual Course Followed In Hi,

Some army officers have raised the uues-
ton as to the right of General Eagan to re-
ceive the full pay Of his grade while under
suspension as the result of scourt- martial
proceedings. Inquiry at the War Depart
ment ELECTED the statement, however, that
no other action Is possible in view of the
circumstances of the case. The invariable
practice of the department has been to al
low suspended officers fun pay unless the
sentence specifically provides otherwise.
Usually sentence Of suspension is accom-
panied by a statement that such suspen-
sion will be on reduced pay, usually one
half or two-thirds of the regular pay. But
where no mention Is made in the sentence
OF reduction of pay, the practice of the
department has been to allow full pay.
This practice has been passed upon by the
courts and sustained as legal and proper.
During the worlds fair at Chicago, four
cadets at the Military ACADEMY were
court marualed for misbehavior. Two of
them were sentenced to suspension with
entire forfeiture of pay and in the case
OF the other two, the sentence was merely
suspension from rank and duty without
specifying any forfeiture of pay The
question was submitted to Judge Advocate
General Lieber at that time as to whether
the last mentioned cadets were entitled to
full pay while under suspension. He de-
cided that the department had no right to
add to the sentence, and that as the SEN
tence did not include forfeiture Of pay, the
cadets could not be deprived of it, Sub
sequently, when the cases were presented
to the controller Of the treasury, that Of
fetal made a ruling that the cadets were
not entitled to full pay under the sentence
of the court, and disaHowed their accounts
accordingly The cadets appealed from the
decision OF the controlleT, and the cases
were tried in the court Of claims with the
result that the controllers decision was
ov erruled and the opinion Of the judge ad-
vocate general of the army was fully sus-
tanned.
The case of Judge Advocate General
Swain differs from that Of General Eagan
In that he was sentenced by the court to
suspension from rank and duty on half
pay In mitigating the sentence of dis
missal in the case Of General Eagan, the
President directed his suspension from
rank and duty for a period of six years.
1rasmuch as there was no direct order for
a forfeiture of any part of General Ea-
gan's pay, the legal officers OF the depart
ment hold that he is entitled to the full
amount.

Ex-Representative Bowden of Virginia
called at the Navy Department yesterday
with a delegation of representative citi-
zens of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Va, and
neighboring towns, including councilmen,
members of commercial organizations and
persons interested in shipping. to urge upon
Secretary Long the retention in charge of
the important engineering works at the
Norfolk navy yard of Chief Engineer J..
A. B. Smith. Mr.. Bowden acted as princi-
pal spokesman, and told of the popularity
of the officer among the Virginia people,
as well as of the good service he had rem
dered in building up the navy yard in which
they were interested.
Secretary Long promised to give the mat
ter consideration. The officer has now
served a three-years term, and by the I'M
written law of the service would have to
be transferred to sea duty, but it was
pointed out to Secretary Long that he
would be ineligible for this If the pending
personnel bill passes.

Snake Charmers.

1t Is generally supposed that the ser
penis exhibited by snake charmers have
been d eprived of their fangs, and this
instance at least is recorded in which
the mouth of the snake had been sewed
together to prevent it from biting.
The writer noticed at the Ceylon ex-
hibition, given some years ago in Lon
don, that one Of the snake charmers.
finding the cobra he was exhibiting be-
coming too lively and aggressive, seized
the reptile by the neck and thrust il
hastily into the small round basket il
which it was carried, at the same time
pushing it with a voluminous white
cloth, ut which it bit savagely. Having
almost closed the lid of the basket. the
man drew away the cloth violently,
thus doubtless dragging ont the fangs
which were fastened in it. He then Sc
cured the basket and carried it away.
This, of course, required large amount
of cool courage as well as great quick
ness Ct hand and eye, all of which quail
ties must be doubly necessary in cap
turing and tanning these deadly reptiles.
But if we are astonished at the skill
and dexterity displayed by Indian snake
charmers, still more must we marvel at
the hardihood of the American Indians,
who, in their snake dances, not only
handle the deadly rattlesnake with inn
punity, but absolutely carry it about in
their mouths. -WeStminster Review.

Thentcr Tickets.

The fact that ticket bought for a
theater and not used on the date stamp
ed on it is always good for an admit
tance is not generally known and prob
ably theater managers would take very
little trouble to spread knowledge of
the fact, but it is nevertheless true.
"A man who buys a reserved seat for
a theater, - said a theater treasurer who
handles more tickets every season than
any other in New York, ''may not use
it en- the evening for which he bought
it. Good for this date only may be
stamped on the pasteboard. That would
seem to mean that the ticket could be
used at no other time. Probably most
of the public accept that as proving the
impossitility of making use of the tick
ct, and therefore few make any attempt
to get the worth of their money when
they are prevented by any cause from
using the ticket on the date marked ON
it. But il could be presented at any
time and would be good for an admis-
sion.
ANY theater manager would have
TO recognize the holders right to enter
the theater, although that would, of
course, carry with it no right to the
seat. 1t is that right which is limited
by the printed date. For all other pur-
poses the ticket is quite as good as if
used on the date it bears. New York
