A Fifty Thousand Army.

Senator Proctor Of the senate COM
mittee on military affairs and Adju-
tant General COrbin have held an in
formal conference with the president
relative to legislation to ask of con-
gress in connection with the proposed
increase of the regular army.
under the existing law" said Sena-
tor Proctor, at the conclusion Of the
conference, 1.-THE present strength of
the army, $4,000 regulars and $4,000
volunteers, will be reduced on the first
day of next July to $4,000 regulars.
This is an absurdly small number and
congress will be asked by the president
to reorganize the army upon larger
basis. 1t will be impossible to keep
any troops in the Philippines unless
the army is increased, to say nothing
Of the garrisons for the forts in this
country.
my own judgment Is that congress
will provide regular army Of $4,000
or about $4,000 men, with discretion
to the president to raise the total to
100000 if he finds the larger number
necessary. I have no doubt that this
legislation will be enacted at the COM
ing session"

New York, Nov. l3-Henr Willard
the railroad magnate and financier, died
at his summer residence at Dobbs Ferry
early Monday morning. Mr.. Willard had
intended to return to New York about
the middle of last month, but his condi.
ton was then SO precarious that his physi.
clan advised him to remain at his coun.
try home until he should have gained
more strength. A week ago he caught
heavy cold and since then his condition
had been gradually growing worse. Two
physicians had been with him constantly
for week past.
Mr.. Willard when he died was surround
ed by the members Of. his family, includ
ing Mrs. Willard and his two sons, Oswald
and Harold Willard. He had been uncon
scious for two days. His death, it is said
was caused by cancer of the throat. The
funeral will take place Wednesday.
Henry Willard was born Heinrich Hill
gard, in Speyer, Rhenish Bavaria, on
April II, 1885. His great uncle Theodore
father of Julius Hilgard, who became SUI
perintendent of the United States coasI
survey led a migration of the family con
nection to Belleville, ILL.,, in 1885. His
father, Gustav, was in the judicial service
OF the Bavarian government and ended
judge OF the supreme court Of Munich.

was used her headaches ceased, the
color began to return to her cheeks and
lips and her strength began to assert
itself.
II bought five boxes more and by
the time she had finished them she WAS
completely restored to her health, and
today our hearts are gladdened with
the society of robust. rosy and
healthy girl instead OF pale. tired and
sickly one. In her case the transfer.

The paymaster general says that ths
naval storehouse at Cavite has provod
of great value as supply base. ana
the bureau intends to meet the A..
mands of the feet for SUPPLIES for nur.
chasing on the station as far al pos.
sible. The refrigerator hip have been
employed with the most satisfactorv
results, and have been veritable boon
to the men. The paymaster general
makes an urgent plea for the creation
of an inspection division in his ONCE
to look after the various yards and
stations. He also asks for an increase
of the pay corps and for recognition OF
the paymaster's clerks, including re.
tirement.
In conclusion the report suggests
that the department be authorised to

Indemnity Was Not Discussed.
Pekin, Nov. 1.-THE foreign
diplomats have held a meet
ing. Although the ministers affirm that
their meeting was perfectly harmonious
they practically agreeing upon all the ques-
tions considered, they have not yet pro
ceeded beyond most elementary subjects
The question Of indemnity, for instance
was not even discussed. 1t is of such mag
nitude that they seemingly are DESTROYS Of
putting off its consideration as long as pos
sible, and the negotiations are likely to be
greatly protmcted before anything will
be ready to present to the Chinese plen-
ipotentiaries. The present desire OF .--e
ministers is, first, to contract plenary
treaty acknowledging few principles,
such as indemnity and security for the
future Of lives and property OF foreign
ers, leaving the other questions to be
negotiated separately by each power.
There is every probability that the nego-
tiations will last for years. The best in
formed persons do not believe the Chi
nese court will return to the capital while
any foreign troops remain in Pekin.

.ATARR H

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. tits customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is. in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease if not at first, it
very soon becomes SO.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to all parts Of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they
do not reach the seat of the trouble. S.
S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the
poison and eliminates from the system all
catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor.
oughly and permanently the worst cases.

Cost Of keepins Indians.

Cost of keepins Indians.
The total expenditure by the govern.
ment on account Of the Indian service
from March 4, 1889, up to and includ-
ing July 80, 1900. has been $36S, 35S. PIT,
according to the annual report of Com
missioner of Indian Affairs William A.
Jones. The expenditures for the fiscal
year ended last July amounted to &c.,
175.107. OF this amount at least 3d.
$4,000 was devoted to the cause of In
dian education. The report reviews
the change in the system of transport
ing supplies, by which the supplies are
shipped in OPEN market by common
carrier at tariff or better rates, and
estimates that this saves 20 per cent in
cost. Under the head Of obstacles to
self-support Of the Indians the report
deprecates the ration system, annuity
payments and the leasing of allotments.
The ration system, says the report, Is
the corollary Of the reservation system.
The Indian population of the United
States Is about 267, 900, of which 45,270
receive ration. The ration issued
and its value vary according to the
tribe. Nearly two-fifths of the number
receiving rations belong to the great
Sioux nation. The nation has been
gradually reduced the past few years.

Counting Buttons.

In my early schooldays QS55-6O In
Yorkshire we counted one another's
buttons, after the fashion Of sortes,
according to the order thinker, tailor,
soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man,
beggar man, thief" Sometimes "apoth-
ecary, plowboy," came in. The first
time after my ordination that I went
into Sunday school noticed one little
boy counting the buttons on my cas-
sock from the bottom upward. Has
anything been written about buttons
Whence such phrases as dash my
buttons" 'I don't care button" and
''He's got all his buttons sn? It ia
possible to have too many. It is re-
lated of some North American red men
that they refused to listen to the teach
ing of an English missionary because
he could not readily explain the exist
enee Of buttons on the back of his coat
where they were Of no use. Also there
is the case of the Frenehman who
committed suicide because life was all
"buttoning and unbuttening." AS for
their significance, we may instance the
buttons of the maRdarins and the sad
history of Sir Walter Seett's school
fellow, whose wits went wool gather
ing when he missed the familiar but
