SOLDIERS WERE A SIGHT.

The characteristics of the yellow bat.
talions pitted against the American
troops in and about Manila are enter
tainingly sketched by a soldier of the
Fourth cavalry, stationed at the seat
of war. He accidentally strayed among
them before the Americans and Fill
pinos came together in battle array,
but friction existed between the out
posts of the two armies.

the city, writes the soldier In the Oma- =

OF a procession. This, as il neared

The only uniform thing about them was
their guns-45-caliher Remingtons. For
the rest they wore all manner of hats,
from old yelow-pith helmets to broad
brimmed straw and ragged felt hats
Their coats and shirts and trousers
were as different as could be. They
were alike again in their spreading
black feet. The noise they made as
they stamped the ground marking time
was quite like a booted regiment. They
were, withal. a very serious looking
crowd-mostly all boys, marching To
the monotonous squeak Of a half-bre

COMPLIMENTARY MEDALS.
Distinguished Men Who Hap Received From The
United SialeS Gowmmsn'.

"A gold medal ought to be struck 10
commemorate the scene that occurred
at the White House last summer when
the peace protocol was signed in the
presence of the President and the Cabi-
net by Nj. Cambon, the French Ambas-
sador representing Spain, and Judge
Day, representing the United States
J Such memento would be an appro-
! PIRATE gift To NJ. Cambon. who has not
/ yet received any testimonial from our
! government for his part in the peace
negotiations says the Washington Post.
1t has been customary to celebrate
great events in our history by striking
medals; TO place the original in the ar
chives of the Department Of State or in
the National Museum, or to present it
TO the person in whose honor il was
ordered. and the director of the mint
has usually been authorized to sell du-
plicates in gold. silver or bronze to the
public at a price slightly in advance of
the actual cost.
Several of the victories of the Reyo-
luton, Commodore Perry's victory on
Lake Erie in 1914, the surrender at
Nicksburg and other notable events in
our several wars were celebrated in
that manner. A medal was presented
TO Gen. Lafayette, another was present
ed TO Cyrus w. Field in recognition of
his services in laying the Atlantic ca
bic. The director of the mint has no
authority to strike a medal without an
act of Congress. and there must be a
small appropriation 10 furnish the gold
and pay the expense Of the design and
the engraving of the die.
Some years ago Congress passed a
law directing a medal to be struck in
honor of Mr.. Slater, Of Connecticut, who
bequeathed his fortune of several mil
lions of dollars for the v,ucation OF the
colored people of the south. BY some
mistake the appropriation to pay the
expense was omitted, and no further
action was ever taken so that the med
al was not even designed. 1t would not
only be very graceful way OF ex-
pressing our National appreciation OF
the services of NJ. Cambon the French
to present him with a
gold medal commemorating the event |
in which he had such conspicuous
part, but it would crafty many people |
i'm the United States to have an oppor- |
tunity to obtain duplicates.

CLOSING ARGUMENTS
Made in the Trading Stamp Case
Before Judge Rogers Today.
The Stamp Company Seeks an Injunction
Against Druggist Greene.

The closing arguments i'm the case OF
the Providence Trading Stamp COM
pany against William II. Greene &
company were made before Judse
Rogers this morning IN the Appellate
DIVISION OF the Supreme Court on the
motion of complainants for a tempo
rary injunction. Irving Champl!n,
counsel Tor the defendants. argued thai
the scheme of the complainant was not
one that recommended itself To court
In equity and the methods employed i'm
carrying on complainant's business
were not such that II came into a court
or equity with clean hands.
Charles Murdoch, counsel for the
complainant, argued that the company
had simply an advertising scheme.
That there was no difference between
the refusal of the company 10 sell the
stamps TO the defendants and the re-
iusal OF the makers OF a certain kind
OF hat TO sell il to more than one trader
In the city, and the defendants had no
more right 10 complain OF the COM
pa nant than they had Of a company
that made certain kind OF candy and
sold II TO but one firm i'm the city. Mr.
Murdock urged that the stamps were
the property of the company and that
in disposng of them in a way differ
ent from the company's plan the de-
PENDANTS were interfering in an un-
warrantable way with the complain
ants business and should be enjoined
until there was "a full hearing of the
case.
Judge Rogers took the papers and
announced he would probably give a
desicion later today.
