throw away his rifle and run for safety.
But as armies grow more intelligent. and
understand that big, broad bladed spear
is not nearly 80 dangerous as the little bull
let delivered from safe distance, this
fear will gradually lessen. as It has already
lessened among veterans. To the old Brit

the Boer are all simply "the enemy" the

others because he shoots so we'll.
The main points to be considered in a
soldiers uniform nowadays are simplicity,
toughness, and inconspicuous color. When
a, battle consists largely Of sharpshooting,
1t becomes most important that the sharp
shooters find nothing to attract their OBJ
servant eyes.
Uniforms as nearly of dust-color as posi-
BILE. in some cases. and of dark blue, grey
or brown in others. therefore become de-
sirable. More important than the color.

ing The soldier will have to march
great deal, sometimes over very bad roads;
the war of the future will be more or less
test of endurance, and no one can sum
mon to his aid more than a certain definite
amount of strength. None Of this should
be wasted. of course, In carrying unneces-
sary burdens The soldiers clothing
should be light, warm. well-ftting. and
durable. The difficulty of finding fabric
suited to all climates and seasons, thick
enough to afford warmth after sundown
and not so thick as to be oppressive in
tropical sunshine. is about as great as that

the latter problem, this problem of SOL

lar comes nearer the ideal in this respect
than any other soldier in the world.
1t is said. too, that scarlet affords
an exceptionally good mark for bullets,
and dark blue an exceptionally bad
one. though this has been contra
dicted by statisticians who assert
that repeated trials with the rifle prove
that scarlet is one of the hardest colors to
hit.
1t may be said. however, in general, that
it will not matter much if the American
soldier has, in theory, the finest, hand

Reports from Frankfort yesterday as
serted that Governor Bradley had expressed
a determination TO seat Taylor. the Repub-
lican candidate for governor without much
reference to the official count of the vote.
Today We hear that the Republican mem
bers of the State militia force in Frank
fort have been ordered for service. while
the Democratic members have been noti-
fed TO surrender their arms, uniforms, and
equipments. This. if true. indicates the
lengths to which the Kentucky adherents of
Mr.. Hanna are prepared TO go in preserv-
ing the purity of the franchise. After the
present trouble shall be over II is reasona-
BILE to expect that the State Guard will be
completely reorganized on the basis of Re
publican bayonets- Only. Ii that scheme
should work successfully in Kentucky it
may be tried generally throughout the
country. There is nothing like having the
military arm of government safely within
the control of ones own party!

Academy-"Have You Seen Smiths"
colossal comic cocktail of fizz, fun, and
froIic. otherwise known as Have You
Seen Smith," was served up by Manager
Rapley last night at the Academy. The
cocktail aforesaid. like most mixed drinks,
contained a variety Of things, the whole
leaving in the mouth bitter taste which
was not wholly pleasing. Have You Seen
Smith," is about as senseless an attempt
at play writing as has ever appeared in
this city. There Is nothing like consist
ent plot to the piece. and frequently the
performance is interrupted to permit of
some speciality artist" getting in his fine
work on the unsuspecting audience. Mary
Lane. The Girl With the Golden Hair"
much advertised and long expected. did not
come up to anticipations. 1t was hardly
probable that a person who injects THE
Holy City" into an excuse for farce
would do so. Lew Carroll tries to make
up for the disabilities Of the other MEM
bers OF the company. but even his efforts
did not seem to be appreciated. John Tier
ney sings the same songs he sang at the
Bijou last year, and several other people
work hard to amuse the assemblage. but
fail dismally. Altogether the SHOW" 3s
not up to the Academy's standard. and
probably will not be booked there again.

NoRTn sTRATroRD LECTURE COURSE.


The last entertainment of the North
StratiOrd Lecture course for this season
will be given in Pythian Opera Hall,
Wednesday evening, April 3, by the
celebrated Temple Quartette Concert
Company of Boston, Mass, assisted by
Miss Elvi Everett Burnett, reader. The
Temple Quartette are not strangers to
the audiences which have attended the
Lecture Course. and Miss Burnett Is a
favorite with all. One of the finest en-
tcrtainments of the season is confidently
predicted for Wednesday evening.
delightful in every particular was the en-
tertainmcut given last evening at the audito-
rum Of the Y. NJ. L. \. by the Temple Quar-
tette. Never before in the history of the star
Course entertainment given under the auspi-
ces of the local Y. NJ. I. A. did "a larger audi
encc attend one OF them. Not only were the
persons there in a body. but in spirit as well,
and the applause which burst forth after
each successive number ON the programme
testified only Of one thing. that everybody
was immensely pleased. For two hours
there was no cessation in the charming mu-
sic and readings the numbers given as en-
cores exceeding by fully three times the ten
regular selections mentioned on the pro-
gramme. The company was Obliged to stop
at 9.55 O'Clock in order to make a hurried
journey to the Northwestern station to take
the 10 O'Clock train for st. Paul. where they
appear tonight.
The Temple Quartettc is composed Of +.
f.. Bullock. first tenor; 4. +. Wehber. sec
ond tenor; Robert Bruce. baritone and
companiSt; Is. 6. Willard, basSo. The voices
OF these men blend most artistcaly and
whether rendering some simple melody or
difficult classic the effect is most pleasing.
The solo work of Robert Bruce was unqueS-
tionably the best part of the entertainment.
His cultured voice, coupled with his easy
grace and mastcriuI expression, won him a
most sincere reception. Mr.. Willard has Il
magnificent voice and his perfect control of it
made his solo work feature of the evening.
MIR. Bullock's splendid voice sounds better in
his part work than in solo Sioux City

LETTER TO DR.. f. r. kORcR0SS,
Island Pond, VI.

Dear Sir: You understand chemistry;
how'd you like to earn 800.
Dcvoc lead and zuc-that's the name
of our paint that lasts twice as long as
lead and oils made of whitehead,
white zinc, its color, turpentine dryer,
and linseed oil.
If any chemist finds anything else in
this paint, we'll pay his bill and 500 be-
sides.
It's nobody's business what we put in
our paint. of course; but we want it
known. For lead and zinc and linseed
oil are the stuff to paint with; and lead
alone is not.
We want it known that one word dc.
scrihes the best paint in the world and
that word is Devoe.
Yours truly,
