SUGAR DIET FOR TROOPS.
German Governments Experiments
 Produce Satisfactory results.

London, Dec. 4-Germany has just completed elaborate experiments with sugar as a food for troops. The object was to test the advantages of a sugar diet in cases where great exertions were to be made within brief period According to the reports of experiments in various army corps a favorable re- suit has been secured. Professor Pfuhl, head of the physiological laboratory of the army department, states it has been proved thct sugar diet increases the muscular power in a comparatively short time, considerably shorter than does the white of an egg. The effect of the latter, however, is more lasting, though sugar has the advantage of be- Ing much cheaper. The extraordinary rapidity with which sugar is absorbed by the body explains it's rapid effect upon the nervous system, which is of the greatest importance in all cases where speedy bodily recuperation is desired, as in long distance marching.
 Professor Pfuhl in series of experi- ments on himself, found that after long walks three or four Jumps of sugar re moved all feelings of lassitude, and to a certain extent restored the elasticity of the muscles. this effect being ire quently produced in quarter of an hour. He is of the opinion that artifi- cial substitutes for sugar, such as sac charin, have not the same effect.
 Professors Senator and Munk of Ser lin university have come to the con- clusion that sugar has high nutritive value as the purest and most easily soluble hydrate of carbon. A certain minimum of aIbumen, differing accord ing to the individual cases, must be supplied in any circumstances and can not be replaced by sugar, but sugar as a food is very valuable, both on ac- count of it's cheapness and the ease with which it is manufactured.

 Anthony's conduct on the Maine was officially reported to the department by Captain Sigsbee and the marine re- ceived letter from Secretary Long which said: Your conduct was a credit to the naval service and entities you to the hearty thanks and approval of the department" For his services at that time Anthony was made a ser geant.
 In his book on the sinking of the Maine, Captain Sigsbee tells of the in cident at the time of the explosion in this way: There was intense black ness and smoke. At the turning of the passage some one ran into me violent ly. I asked who it was It was Pri- vate William Anthony the orderly. at the cabin door. He said something apOlogetic and reported that the ship was blown up and was sinking. An thony has been pictured as making d formal salute on that occasion. The tlltCl Ol d duu to his heroism.

STAINS TROUBLES AT HOME.
Catalonia Practically in State of
 Revolution.

1 London, Dec. 4.-The Daily News cor respondent, writing from Barcelona,
 draws a picture of an extraordinary condition of affairs in Spain. especial i ly in Catalonia, and suggesting the probability that the powers will before long be forced to direct attention to the financial and political conditions of the country. Possible international com plications may ensue," he says, and European statesmen may have to en- counter in connection with moribund Spain problems no less delicate than those which caused the decadence of the Turkish empire
 The correspondent produces no slight argument in support of his suggestion. Catalonia is in a state that Catalonians call passive revolution. Barcelona, commercially the most important city of Spain and the chief revenue produc- ing center, is in a state of siege. Con- stitutional rights are suspended and military law proclaimed. Many of the most respected and in fiuential citizens are imprisoned. Business is practically at a standstill and only the purveyors of the necessaries of life ply their trade. Even they close their establish ments at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the bars are forced to close at 10 D. m. Although the city is absolutely tran quil and law-abiding, the whole popu- lation is described as in league to break the laws and resist the government.
 A grave factor is the Catalonian de- mand for complete government and self-taxation, paying only a fixed quota to the imperial revenue. Barce- Iona does not appoint it's own mayor or council, and swarms of useless officials are drafted from Madrid to live on the provincial taxpayers. Forty per cent of the taxes gathering in Catalonia are wasted on officials, mostly not needed and all incompetent.
 The extremist faction of the Cata- lonia party desire to become subjects of France. When in 1898 the French fleet visited Barcelona the "Marseillaise'' was greeted with enthusiasm and the Spanish national anthem with undis- guised disapproval. The correspond ent says: There is no doubt that if France wished. and only had to con- slider the opposition of Spain itself, she could easily annex the province.
 The sentiment of state patriotism does not exist in the more progressive neighborhoods. where the people ex- press contempt for their own country and desire foreign dominion or com plete severance from Madrid

COULDN'T KEEP HIM OFF.

'The brightest reporter I ever knew" said a newspaper man, was Billy Gay Tor. who died at Hot Springs in 1895. He was a most persistent fellow after an item. and that reminds me of a little story, about the last incident of his ca reer. He had been assigned by cer- tain Chicago daily to interview an emi- nent bishop about a schism in the church The bishop didn't want to talk, and wouldn't see him, but Gaylor bribed a servant to let him into the hall and waylaid the dignitary as he was coming through. He was ordered out for his pains. but next day he 'pene- trated the house again on some pretext or other and was again fired.
 He repeated the exploit three or four times with similar results. and at last the bishop, coming home late at night, found Billy sitting in his study. reading the Bible. Nobody could eX- plain how he got in, but the prelate wilted and told him what he wanted to know on condition that he would go away and stay away.
 Shortly after poor Gaylor got gal loping consumption and died. and hap pening to meet the bishop at a church conference, I told him that the young would never do it again.
 Let us hope that he is in heaven said a clergyman standing by.
 "The bishops eyes twinkled. He loved a joke. No doubt he is,' he replied. gently. T don't think they could keep him out Prom an Exchange.

DEWEY oUTRANKs MILES.
Navy May Now Have Precedence Over
 the Army at Public Ceremonies.

Washington. Dec. 4.-The revival of the rank of admiral in the navy may upset the usual order of precedence as between the army and navy on occa- sions of public ceremony. The question was brought up by Lieutenant Brum- by flag lieutenant to Admiral Dewey, making inquiries as to what position Dewey should take in the presidents s new year reception. The army, by req son of priority of organization, has, with few exceptions. always held prece- dence over the navy. One of these ex- captions was when Admiral Porter. by reason of his rank, mad precedence over General Sherman, then the major general commanding the army. The rank of Admiral Dewey is relatively higher than that of General Miles the head of the army. and if the president, to whom the question of position has been referred, decides in favor of the former, the naval officers, headed by Admiral Dewey. will have the honor of greeting the chief magistrate before the officers of the army.

 The officials say it is felt to be unwise for the United States to initiate the sending of warships to South Africa now. Such action on our part might be followed by the naval powers of the and French. Russian and German fleets would follow each other there to the probable embarrassment of the British government and the encour- agement of their enemies. the Boers. It is not to be learned that this attitude of our government has been assumed as the result of any representations from the British government.

IN STRICT DIES MONIES.
Alderman's New Rules Forbidding Peo-
 pie to Be Out After Eleven.

The blue laws of the Puritans are be- ing revived and revised in the capital city of Iowa by the board of aldermen, who, not satisfied with the ordinance passed two years ago, known as the "Curfew Whistle" law, forbidding a!i children under twelve years to be out of doors at night after s o'clock, hay" gene into the business of regulating the going and coming and the general con- duct of the adults of the town. The re- suit of the work of the aldermen up to the present time is the placing of these ordinances upon the books, and the mayor says he will see to it that they are enforced to the letter:
 Forbidding all persons, without re- gard to sex or standing in the commun- ity, from walking on the streets after Il p. m., unless they can show clearly that they are on legitimate errands. otherwise they must be thrown into jail and pay a fine of not to exceed $50 or go to jail for twenty days.
 Prohibiting splitting on sidewalks or pavements, under penalty of s10 fine. However citizens may spit in the gut ters or the streets.
 Prohibiting swimming in the river without proper clothes.
 Furnishing persons who throw banana peelings on the sidewalk or pavements.
 Imposing a fine of from $5 to s1OO for making loud noises or disturbances Of any kind.
 Prohibiting the operation of slot ma chimes or other gambling devices of any kind.
 In order that the people of the town may know when Il o'clock at night comes the 'curfew whistle" will be blown. This whistle makes a very pc culiar sort of noise and is distinguished from anything else that ever disturbed the atmosphere. It is worse than any siren" that was ever built, and for two years past, when blown at 8 o'clock. has frightened the children. It is un- derstood that when there are late per formances at the theaters or other places of amusement the persons com posing the audience are to be allowed little leeway by the police
 An ordinance is soon expected regu- lating the hours of all operatic. theatri- cal and other exhibitions. so that those who attend them can arrive at their homes before Il o'clock. Places of amusement will be required to close their doors by fifteen minutes after 10 o'clock at the very latest, in which case performances will begin at ', instead of o'clock. One of the aldermen, who has travelled abroad, says that if the opera in Vienna can begin by o'clock the theaters of Des Moines surely nan, also.-N. Y. Herald.

THE CAR INSPECTOR.
Importance of His Work and the Great
 Watchfulness Needed.

It is interesting to watch the trained car inspector examining long freight train which has rolled into the yards He moves along the side of the cars and notes all the wheels, brakebeams, bolsters, rods, etc. He uses no ham mer, but has his eyes open for defects He will stop suddenly, look carefully at a wheel, and follow the faint lines of a crack running, perhaps, from the fiange to the center. Such a wheel is condemned at once, and the car is shunted off until a new pair of wheels can be placed under it. If there is fiat place on a wheel which measures more than two and one-half inches across that wheel must go. too. Then there may be a sharp fiange, and that must be looked after A coupling may have faults, a brake rigging may have given out, and all these things the in- spector must take note of.
 He must be an honest man, as thou sands of dollars worth of property and many lives might be sacrificed in case he neglected something. Box car doors he looks at carefully. They are dan gerous things if they are loose. Many an engineer or fireman, has met his doom by having the cab strike a loose car door. It may be hanging in place in the yard, but when it reaches a point where a strong wind catches 1t, out it goes. and the passing train strikes it. Ill such cases there is shower of splinters, a broken cab, and it is lucky indeed if there is no one killed. Engineers have a dread Of loose doors. and are always glad when a freight train is past them when they are running at full speed. Another thing the inspector must watch is the hopper bottom dump car. If the fast ening gets loose and lets a load of ore or limestone down on the track while the train is in motion it means a bad wreck.
 Taking all things into consideration, the car inspector is very important man in the railway service, and effi- ciency on his part comes only from long experienoe and careful training.

this act of heroism Ilderim proffers to grant any favor asked of him. Ben
 Hur asks permission of the shiek to drive his horses in the chariot race in the circus against Messala. and it is granted.
 The fourth act is presented in two scenes. the interior of the tent of Sheik Ilderirl in the Orchard of Palms, and a
 barge on the lake in the Orchard of
 Palms. Balthazar, the Egyptian. re- lates the story of the Star of Bethle- hem and the Nazarene. now born soEe thirty years. Iras, the fascinating daughter of the Egyptian. lures Ben
 Hur from his love of Esther and his duty. and, in the barge, charms him from the Sheik's other guests by the beauty of her voice in song. Simonides and his daughter witness the conquest of BenHur by Iras. to the grief and modification of Esther.
 The fifth act shows the exterior Of the Circus Maximus at Antioch. Crowds throng the corridors, laying wagers on the charioteers. Messala is the favorite. Samballat. the secret agent of Simonides, is placing wagers on the Arabian chariot and Ben-Hur- Iras and Esther are seen. The former wears the colOrs of Messala and is un- yelled. contrary to the custom of mod est women of this time Ben-Hur con- trasts the bold Iras with the gentle Esther, sees the error of his judgment, and his heart returns to it's allegiance to the daughter of SimonideS.
 Trumpets summon the people to the arena, where the struggle is on for su- hof fho Hur drives the four Arabians, while Messala's chariot is drawn by "the two blacks and the two whites" This scene rivals anything ever before pre- scented on the stage. Eight horses ac- tually run at full speed before an ex- cited multitude. The smashing of Mes sala's chariot wheel is shown, the act ending with Ben-Hur's triumph and his crowning as the victor.
 Messala. his enemy, now crippled in body and broken in spirit and funds, Ben-Hur once more resumes his search for his mother and sister. The first scene of the last act brings the audi ence once more to Jerusalem to the in terior of the palace of Hur Ben-Hur. Simonides and Esther are there. The barrier between Ben-Hur and Esther removed, Inelr love IS undllOyeI. He relates to Simonides the miracles wrought by the Nazarene, and learns for the first time that his mother and sister are lepers, entombed in the Vale of Hinnom. He rushes away to find them, unmindful of all danger to him. self.
 The second scene shows the Vale of Hinnom. with the cave of the lepers, before which Ben-Hur falls exhausted. The tableauX changes to the Mount of Olives. In this scene 250 people are utilized. The multitude. bearing palm branches. come to greet the Nazarene. the presence of the Savior being merely suggested by a shaft of wondrously brilliant light. A great chorus sing hosannas, and the miracle of the cleansing of the leprous mother and daughter is performed. This incident is quickly followed by the reunion CT Ben Hur and his mother and sister and Esther. As the curtain falls a song Of swells out from the hill sides in all directions.
