Military Court of Inquiry Cont1rueS
Its Investigation at the Academy.
WEST POINT, n. Y. Dec. 1S.-The
military court of inquiry arrived at
/ O'Clock this afternoon. At ?: 80 it re-
sumed the investigation Of brutal
treatment made by the parents of the
former Cadet, Oscar l.. Booz.
Generals Brooke and Bates and Cap
tain Clous questioned the witnesses as
to the practice of hazing in the acad-
envy both in camp and barracks.
Sixty-eight members of the class OF
1902, to which BoOz belonged until he
resigned in September or October, 1898,
were summoned. Four of the 68 ca
diets of the second class were exam
ined during the afternoon and all of
them who knew BoOZ declared that his
standing with his classmates was not
very high as they looked upon him
as a coward. The story of his fight
with Kelar in '9S Was told by Cadet
O. n. Tyler. who seconded BOoZ.
When asked by the court why he did
so, Tyler said: We'll. Booz asked me to
be his second, and could not well re-
fuse"
Every one VI lnt NlIuSSSeS uehICu
that any brutal hazing occurred, and
two of them described the "bracing'
and setting up in drills" as only cor
rectional measures and neither in
furious nor humiliatlng. Every one
of them seemed to give a straight
forward story, and one and all denied
that Booz had been interfered with
on account of his religious belief or
tendencies. The hearing here will last
the greater part of this week.

METROPOLITAN MUSIC.

Special Correspondence of the Register.
NEW YORK, January 26.-Again the cry
is heard for music in the vernacular''
and a plan to give US American opera is
being talked about, and, what is more,
really acted upon. Mr.. Reinhold S. Her.
man (than who. by the way, there are
few better musicians in the country, is
said to have the directory of the matter,
and in good time will appear baton in
hand, and lead such company of English
speaking, or more properly speaking
English singing-artists as have never be-
fore been heard Gin English) in our music
loving metropolis. Wealth and fashion,
the twin sisters who have so often stretch
ed forth their helping hands to their
struggling brothers, talent and persever-
ance, have, in this instance, promptly
shouldered the burdens of the undertaking
and will, of course, make of 1t social and
financial success. But l fear that the
jubilation of the promoters of the scheme
will be short lived and that our fad-loving
public will soon tire of paying high prices
to hear music sung in a language they
can understand, when. by paying a tritie
more, they can hear the same music sung
in a tongue they do not know, but with
which they try to make themselves and
their friends believe they are perfectly
conyersant And, aside from the hum
buggery, it must be and is conceded by all
that there is but little music, but sounds
far better in its original Italian, French
or German dress. And alas, for our
mother tongue, what few cases we have,
originally set to our unsingable English,
would be far better translated into a more

Wheeling Consolidated Coal Conn
pany Acquires Its Properties.
1t is understood that the plans of the
projectors of the big enterprise for the
development of coal land in this section
have finally been rewarded with sue
cess. Prof. J. M. Birch, VIM. M. Dun
lap, Esq, and others who have been
securing options on coal properties in
Ohio and Brooke counties, have succeed
ed in renewing all the options which
expired and the deal has been very sue
ceSsfully carried out.
The project means much for the
farmers of Ohio county and for the
coal miners of this section generally.
1t means that the rich deposits under
lying the whole county will be opened
up and marketed. The Wheeling Con-
solidated Coal Company has opened an
Office in the Mutual Savings Bank
building and also has an Office at No.
80 Broad street, New York city. The
company will issue a prospectus in
pamphlet form, containing the interest,"
ing facts concerning the value and ex-
tent of the coal territory, the facilities
for mining, the demand for home con-
sumption, etc.

woNDERFUL BoER STRATEGY.

The Spion Kop trap into which the
willy Beers coaxed Gen. Warren proved
to be almost another Majuba Hill in
point of overwhelming defeat and loss
for the British
How Gen. Butler became possessed
of the idea that Spion Kop was point
of vantage, or the key" to Ladysmith,
unless through Boer sources or decep-
tive Boer tactics, is a mystery, for the
place is exposed and valueless, as Gen.
Warren quickly discovered.
1T would seem that the British ought
to be up to" the tricks of their
shrewd antagonists by this time and
willing to proceed with more care and
elaboration.
How the Beers managed to bait the
Spion Kop trap SO successfully is not
explained in the dispatches. which
simply state, with unintentional irony,
that the position was not as valuable
as the British officers thought it was.
That the forces under Gen. Warren
were deliberately led into this trap
and even allowed time to get their
artillery on the ground is evidenced
by the fact that no resistance was Of
fered Gen. Warren, the small Boer
garrison fleeing at once-a fact which,
in itself, should have aroused suspic-
ion, supposing Spion Kop to have
been so important a point of vantage.
When the Boer batteries opened up
on them, the entrapped British were
compelled to abandon seventeen can
non, while their casualties are esti-
mated as high as 1000, a disastrous
reminder of Majuba Hill.
Reports by way of Berlin yesterday
declared that Buffers army could save
itself only by abandoning all the
ground gained since crossing Tugela
and by retreating across that stream,
where Butler met his former disastrous
defeat. 1t would appear, in fact, that
the shrewd Boer generals had permit
ted him to cross Tugela without offer
ing resistance, only to draw him into
Z more disastrous and deadly trap.
This would seem to put an effectual

Verify it must gall the proud British
military to be so completely outwitted
at all points as they have been in this
war by a handful of farmers in
South Africa. No country Jay ever
fell into more numerous pitfalls pre-
pared by the Artful Dodgers of the
London metropolis than Britain's most
famous generals have deliberately
marched into in this campaign. The
flower of the British army would seem
to be but children in the hands of the
uncouth and bewhiskered Dutch
Republicans, whose generals are
preachers of the gospel, who go to war
with a Bible in one hand and a rifle
in the other and open their battles
with prayer.

from them that the Catholic popula-
ton in West Virginia has increased
some twenty-five to thirty per cent.
in the last five years This is due part
ly to natural increase and partly from
the influx of persons occupied in the
vast coal and oil interests of this
State. The improvement is most
marked in the neighborhoods of Par

News Notes.

Messrs. Giesey & Faris are now en-
gagged in drawing plans for the new
residence for the Bishop and Cathedral
clergy. The Episcopal residence will
PROBABLY front on Thirteenth street,
although that point is not yet quite
decided. 1t will be a plain but sub
tsantial structure of three stories and
is estimated to cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 Provision will be
made for the chancery office, in which
the business of the diocese will be
transacted and safe will be built in
to contain all the official reports and
other documents pertaining to the
1orty-five or more parishes over which
the Bishop has jurisdiction. The
ground floor will be so arranged in
communicating rooms that on the oc-
casion of synods or clerical confer
ences the whole length of the building
will be available. This suite of large
rooms, three deep, will also be found
most convenient for informal social
meetings, as also for the choir rehear-
sails. The growth of the diocese is such
and the founding of the new parishes
SO frequent that it has been adjudged
prudent to build the residences a little
ahead of actual present needs. Quite
a number of handsome subscriptions
have been made to the fund for the
erection of the house, and many more
are assured once operations shall have
commenced.

In discussing the butterine problem
an exchange declares that the CHIEF
objection to butterine is it's melting
point The normal temperature of the
human stomach is 1874 degrees. But
terine melts at 1922 degrees, while
pure butter made from a pure COW
which gives pure milk, melts at 81
degrees. These so-called buffers can
not, therefore. be assimilated readily
by the human stomach and it's con
tinued use will ruin the digestive or
gans, cause indigestion and disorders
of the entire system. The general pro-
mitigation of this information will do
more to knock oleomargarine out OF
the market than all the laws on the
statute books.
