THE SOLDIERS PAROLE.
1t Is a Purely Voluntary Compact
Made Between CaptOr
and Captive.

Parole, it must be understood, is a
purely voluntary compact. The cap
tor is not obliged to offer to parole his
prisoner-the prisoner is not obliged,
and cannot be compelled to give his
parole. If he does so he will probably
be released on pledging his word not
to serve during the existing war. If
he refuses he will remain captive UNI
til the war is over, or until he can
make his escape. The usual parole
pledge extends only to active service
against the enemy. A prisoner re-
leased on parole is not breaking his
contract if he drills recruits, quells
civic connections or fights other enc
mics.
A soldier taken prisoner has no au-
thority to pledge himself never to
serve against particular enemy. He
cannot throw off thus lightly the duty
he owes his sovereign or country, and
if he makes any pledge it must be con-
fined to limited time. Moreover, il
prisoner should make pledge not
approved by his own government he
is bound to return and surrender him
self to the enemy.
In the British army soldier can
only give his parole through COM
missioned officer. Even noncommis-
stoned officer or an officer of inferior
rank cannot give parole for himself
or for his men, without permission
from his commanding officer. The
United States authorities. by the way,
give greater liberty of parole than is
the case with the British army. A
captured prisoner who has violated his
parole may be punished by death

THE OLD SPORT WAS TRICKED.
He Knew the Gambling Sharpers,
Game, But They Knew
1t Better.

In the days when things We're wide
open there was a ''brace" faro game on
the other side of Canal street, where
some pretty fat pigeons were frequent
ly plucked. While this was going on
broken-down sport formed the habit of
dropping in and securing a share of the
plumber by simply betting the reverse
of the victim. The latter, for instance,
would bet $50 one way on the ace, and
the old sport, knowing positively that
the dupe would lose, would bet five dol
lars the other way on the same card.
In order to secure the $50 the dealer
had to let the unwelcome visitor win
his little five, and that sort of thing
happened almost every time fresh
fool was piloted into the establishment.
Of course, the sharpers who ran the
game regarded this proceeding on the
old sports part as most outrageous
invasion of their private rights, equiv
alent to blackmail. 81 call it just the
same as stealing for him to come in
that way when we're SHINING man
and take off SLICE" said main sharp,
land he really ought to be arrested.
We must do something to stop him."
Accordingly, they laid their heads
together and evolved a Machiavellian
scheme. A few days later stranger,
who had all the appearance of very
verdant planter, was steered into the
place, and right behind him, as usual,
came the old sport, seeming rich pick
ings. After playing for awhile in a
small way, the stranger, who appeared
to be more than half tipsy, pulled out a
huge roll of bills and offered to bet
$1,000 on the turn Of card. The prop
osition was promptly accepted, and the
other fellow, thinking he had the
chance of his life, Immediately put up
sos, which was every cent he had on
earth. 70 his CONSERVATION the plant
er won and he lost. That broke him Of
the habit, and was the last time he
ever tried to rob robbers. It turned
out later that the planter was a Mem
phis gambler, "made up" expressly for
the role.-N. 0. Times-Democrat.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Burned to Death.

4 Edward Little. a coachman en-
ployed by Richard Evans, Jr., of Min
neapolis, met with a horrible death
about L o'clock in the morning. He
was asleep in his room on the second
floor of the barn when fire broke out,
and before he could escape he was
burned to a crisp. His body was
taken in charge by the coroner.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Shortly after. 1 o'clock Mrs. Evans was
startled by the glare of blaze. She
aroused the household and a fire
alarm was sent in. Titles body was
found lying at the head of the stairs.
After an examination of the barn, the
firemen decided that the unfortunate
man had undoubtedly been aroused
from sleep by the fire and had made
an effort to escape by way of the
stairs. He was overcome by the smoke
and heat, however, and succumbed.

The result Of the cabinet discussion of the
latest phases of the Chinese problem was a
thorough approval at every point of the
policy of Secretary Hay, and especially of
the latest instructions TO Mr.. Conger, which,
by the way, were sent forward just a week
ago.
While Mr.. Conger has full plenipotentisry
powers. and consequently by his acts a:
Pekin can finally commit the governmen MT
OF the United States to an agreement, 1t is
understood by the officials here that so far
he has not signed any protocol. or prelimi-
nary treaty. So, regardless of Mr. Con-
gers disposition toward the agreement
reached by the ministerial council the gov
ernment of the United States still stands
uncommitted. and is therefore in a position
to endeavor to bring about such changes
In the arrangement as are deemed indispen-
sable.
Mr.. White. our ambassador at Berlin has
not yet communicated to the State Depart
ment the reception accorded by the Germa n
government to the copy Of the instructions
supplied by the State Department to Min
lister Conger. 1t Is stated that these in
structions not being in the form of a di-

a formal response, and it Is even probable
teat the only result will be such an ex-

TIE-UP ON MEXICAN ROAD.
American Engineers Refuse to Run
Sonora Branch.

American Engineers Refuse to Run on
Sonora Branch.
NOGALES Ariz., November 27.-For sew
eral days there has been almost tie-up on
the Sonora division Of the Southern Pacific
Friday all the engineers running into this
port from the south refused to pull q throt-
tie in the Mexioan state of Sonora until
their comrades now lying in Mexican pris-
ons be released.
The trouble comes from the custom Of
the Mexican authorities in arresting train
men whenever an accident happens to a
wayfarer, caused by the running Of a train,
regardless, SO the railroad men say, of who
may have been at fault. The south bound
passenger express Is the only train that
has left for Hermossillo and Guayamas for
several days, and that was pulled by Mas
ter Mechanic johnson in place of the regu-
lar engineer. In the Jail at Guayamas at
the present are Engineer Charles Smith,
Conductor Langworthy, American
brakeman and two Mexican brakemen: In
jail In Nogales, Sonora, across the line, are
Engineer Jefferson, Conductor Bulge and
Brakeman Rochin: at Magdalena are in
care Grated an American engineer and
brakeman. The railroad company's attor-
neys say they tried in vain to have the
men brought to trial, for their innocence
Of the charges against them can he read
ily proven. The trainmen declare that they
are frequently imprisoned without trial on
the slightest pretext.
