PERSONAL AND GENERAL.

Douglas Macarthur, son OF General
Arthur Macarthur, conspicuous as one
of the bravest American officers in the
Philippines, has just passed his semi
annual examination at the West Point
Military Academy, and stood first in his
class. The young man is grandson of
Judge Arthur Macarthur, formerly OF
Milwaukee, who died Jew years ago
while Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court
OF the District of Columbia.
There is a great demand for the
weather maps Of February 8, because the
dark space covering the storm area
makes distinct profile Of Miss Susan B.
Anthony. Oddly enough, when the map
was made the Woman's Suffrage Associ-
alton was in session in Washington.
Congressman Sibley OF Pennsylvania is
coming out strong as fashionable man,
and now has valet and an automobile.
The latter is perfectly appointed in every
way, and it is declared that not even in
the encourage of Lord Pauncefote, the
British Ambassador, is there valet who
80 thoroughly looks, acts and speaks the
part than the distinguished looking per-
sonsge whom "Joe" Sibley now occa-
sionally refers to as "my man."
Mrs. Dewey has been much annoyed
by snapshot photographers. The other
day one OF these, friend, pleaded with
her to get into better light. "OLher-
WISE" she said, my picture won't do

Dewey, 81 only hope for mercy"
Tom Watson, who recently announced
that he would not accept the Populst
nomination for Vice-Presieent, has a law
practice which is netting him close to
$40 600 year, and is working for an in
dependence so that he can devote his en-
tire time literature.
A Paris contractor offer to rebuild the
Comedie Franchise in sixty days by en-
ploying American methods has been re-
jected on the ground that as the edifice
belongs to the State, its construction
must remain in the hands of State Of

Admiral and Mrs. Dewey have had
their first quarrel, says w. E. Curtis in
the Chicago Record. 1t began by the
Admiral insisting, as all men do on oc-
casions, that his wife wear rubbers. She
refused to do so because it made her feet
look 80 large and clumsy, and they dis
puted until both grew very much ex-
cited, when the Admiral, in the height
of his passion, declared that if Mrs.
Dewey did not wear her rubbers he
would no longer take a tonic that the
doctor had prescribed for him at her
suggestion. With tears in her eyes che
surrendered and has worn rubbers ever
since.

burn the barn and conceal all evidence

deed.
The murder occurred, as far as present

O'Clock this morning and was discov-

the murderer could be found, up to,

The crime was discovered by MIR.

SaIishury's Tribute.

Lord Salisbury paid a tribute to the
splendid courage. training and skill
shown by the colonial troops in South
Africa in bearing the brunt of serious
conflicts. The magnificent spectacle
OF the colonies rallying TO the Empires
aid had taken the British by surprise
and had taken the world much more
w surprise. Splendid and unexampled
as were the coloniaps services in the
war they were exceeded by the service
rendered in drawing the empire to-
gether. After what the colonies had
done the British had become a much
more important nation in the world.
Their character was more respected
and their wishes more regarded. He
ascribed the practical sympathies of
the colonies to a hearty belief in the
rectitude or the principles Great Britain
was upholding.
