PHENOMENAL ENLIsTMENTs.
No Trouble Expe ricnccd In Keeping
the Regular Army Up tn the
Full Legal Limit.

New York, Aug. rs. Enlistmcnts in
the army have been phenomenal
since the beginning of the trouble in
China, says the Washington cor
respondent OF the Herald. Young
men in all parts of the country have
hockcd TO the recruiting stations anN-
ious to see sctive military service in .
foreign land. The recruiting officers
are taking their pick OF the applicants
and are having no difficulty in keep
ing the regular army about up 10 rs
fun limit under the law. Col. Thomas
Ward, the assistant adjutant general
in charge of the enlisted mems diyi-
sion. said that enlistments in the
army have never been so numerous
as at present. This is the more re-
markable since the recruiting IN the
harvesting period is always less than
AZ any other time of the year.

'Is wine intoxicating?" is a subject
which Judge Wilcox has taken under
advisement How is the Judge going to
find out? Was he going to inveigle
somebody last evening and ply him
with Portuguese wine, and gradually
watch the effects of the compound? Did
he have a policeman to practice on, or
was it some ordinary tramp? Again
did the worthy Judge feel that it was
necessary to make a personal expert
ment? But just think of the effect up
on the High Sheriff and the reporters,
If the Judge arrived on the bench and
answered the query in the words Tt
hic--ish-only took me--hic-fifteen
shents' The question is a serious one.
Judge Wilcox will not make the expert
ment. Who will? Perhaps the matter
may be referred to the First Circuit
Court
