of his brothers was six feet seven
inches. another six feet five inches,
and his W son, who is 90 years old

army officer is Colonel Helm, First cav
airy, who is commanaant of cadets ut
West Point. and Mho is six feet two
and a half inches. Colonel DAN
Appleton, of the Seventh New York
regiment, needs no mention beyond
the fact that he belongs to Il family
of tall men. The colonel is six feet
two inches and his father. the late
John a. Appleton, was the same
height. Another tall officer is General
Lawton, his height being six feet four
inches. Richard Wand Green yelling

the tall gentleman who carries it, for
he Is six feet three and a half inches

| distinguished officers. John Jacob
| Astor, who was among the earliest to
answer the presidents first appeal for
men and money, is over six feet three

ers," celebrated in many other ways,
had also a very tall man among them,
in the person of William Taylor de
zychlinski, who is a tritle over six
feet three inches.

Washington letter: There are evi-

frauding the private soldiers who are

ing to secure Their. discharges 1t can
not be learned who 10 the guilty per-
son, but 1t is believed instances of this
kind are numerous. a western sena-
tor received IL letter from a soldier in
the regular: army, who asserted that
some IL in the army had promised to
secure his discharge for $3.50. This
money was paid over, but before many
days $500 was demanded. and the de-
mand came in such a way as to lead
5the soldier to believe the United States
senator WI Il party to the scheme.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of the war department., and
if it is found II one connected with
the army has been guilty of such dis
honest practices u court-martial will
be ordered. The soldier in question
gave all the money he had, $3.50, think
ing he would soon be able to return
home to his parents, who We're i'll.
When the additional $500 was demand
ed he wrote to the senator. 1t is an
easy matter for a soldier to purchase
his discharge. He must make appli-
cation through his commanding Off
Ger, but must have enough money to
his credit to pay for it. After serving
one year 9 discharge can be purchased
for S120, which is reduced So for every

afternoon. the prettiest girl in the au-
dience whispered: 'Oh. if she'd just
wake up now. I don't see why she
couldn't. I'm sure. 1t would make it
ever 80 much nicer" There is a good
bit of rivalry at these matinees among
the admirers of Mr.. Hackett and of
Mr.. Faversham. The actors them
selves seem to realize this. In the
course of the inevitable curtain call
after Mercutio's death. the two appear
first together and then separately,
turn about, for three or four times,
after which they make a double entry
again. The wild applause greeting
each is easily located as coming direct
from the two camps into which the
house is divided. The Lyceum at its
liveliest never knew anything like the
Empire this fortnight. What makes
a more noisy audience than a matinee
idol? Two matinee idols.
