AGAIN THE DEWEY HOME

A Washington dispatch to the New
York World says that the home which
the American people presented to Ad-
mIral Dewey is again causing adverse
criticism of the hero of Manila Bay.
It is said that the home of the Ad-
m1raI of the American Navy is not kept
shipshape,
Neighbors of the Admiral call atten-
ton to the untidy lawns. Real estate
agents claim that the general neglect
of the property hurts values in the vi
cinity. This home has not been occu-
pied since the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey
moved out to Beavoir, their country
home, last April, and the air of aban-
donment is sadly noticeable.
The place looks distressed and for
Iorn. The lawns are unkempt and
have not felt the reaper this year. The
long and shaggy grass is Drowned by
the torr1d weather and has withered in
spots.
Mrs. Dewey has said she will never
live in the house again, and the neigh
bors are worried about the fact that
this wasted relic of a once beautiful
home will continue indefinitely as a
menace to their prosperity and future
comfort.
In view Of the hullabaloo which was
raised by the press of the country be-
cause Admiral Dewey transferred the
gift to his wife, as he had a perfect
right to do, Mrs. Dewey cannot be
blamed for her determination to never
again occupy the home. Admiral
Dewey was also Disguised by the criti-
cism his act provoked, and as he does
not care to sell the property, because
this would cause more disgraceful
cIamor, he no doubt intends to let the
home go to ruin.

The NewYork Times of the 10Th just
ly boasts of the generous aid the people
of that city are always prompt to ex.
tend to suffering humanity in whatever
portion of the world. Up to that date
S100, 600 had been subscribed for strick-
en- Galveston, and the committee of the
Chamber of Commerce had only com
menced its charitable work. The Times
mentions the fact that the Chamber
raised over million dollars for the
sufferers for the great Chicago fire.
And all this refutes the dicturn of Bal
FAC that s'New York is a city without
faith, hope or charity" Like great
many others of his class, the French
writer believed that he could familiarize
himself with all the characteristics OF
the people of this country especially
the least commendable of them-in a
soiourn of q month or two.

1 tism of this section of the community, 1 there can be but little doubt that a | large proportion of those who join the l militia do so to obtain what they look upon as months holiday in the pleas antest time of the year-for militia units always train between May and September. The contingency of enlbod- iment, we should say, rarely enters into their minds; and, although, when out training he is far from despising the
 pay--for is there not bounty also thrown in, the true object of which he will now realze?--this class of militia men often grows ridiculously particu- lar about his rations, and also requires far stricter discipline than does his ag- ricultural contemporary to keep him in order. Again, where the same mining cum manufacturing class is concerned, are the employers of labor, colliery proprietors, lace factors. &c., ready to keep open the places of their embodied foremen and skilled artisans? It is to be hoped that these will follow the ex- ample set by others in relation to the guaranteed reinstatement of the re- serves. It has been officially an- nounced, however, that commanding off, ficers may use their discretion as to granting fur-loughs to any non-commis
 stoned officers and men whose prospects in civil life might be injured by their having to come up at once for service
 Such fouloughs, though, are not to bt granted to men in the militia reserve
 There is also another point to be con- sidered, and one which affects the mi litia as body-namely, their unwil- lingness to leave their wives, families and homes for any extended period

AN ENGLISH OFFICERS OPINION
 OF THE BOER.

| The world since the Boer war of 1881 | has formed very high estimate of Boer skill with the rifle. The fact is, that the Boer is fair shot, thoroughly familiar with his weapon, with the
 horse he rides, and with the country in which he fights.
 The Boer's strong point is his mobil- ity He can ride to a chosen spot dis mount and drop his reins, fire half dozen shots, mount again, and go on to a fresh position. His horse is trained to stand In the veldt," wherever he is left His commissariat is of the sim plest. A chunk of biltong In his pocket will supply many meals for himself, and the grasses of the veldt give abundant forage for his horse. His skill with the rifle has been acquired in pursuit of large herds of antelope. But he knows nothing of the finer skill of the deer stalker. His favorlte mark is herd of two or three hundred blesbok. l have seen Boer refuse to fire at single animal, on the ground of too proba- ble waste of ammunition.
 The Boer has not been without his uses in the world scheme of civilization. Like the American backwoodsman, he has blazed the way for the march of progress. His bold and restless spirit has pointed out path to the crowding nations of the old world. His have been the privatlons, his the toll, and his the jeril. But his function is at an end civilization presses at his heels; the land from which he drove out the Kaf- fir calls for danser population. He must submit to absorption or perish. For the present he refuses to be ab- sorbed. Meme, meme, tekel upharsin.- Forum.
