EX-MAJoR HAWKES. CHARGES.
To be Referred to Colonel Hcistand
by Secretary Root.

Secretary Root said yesterday that he
had decided to refer to Lieut. Col. II.
o. S. Heistand the charges made against
that officer by ex-Major Erastus Hawkes.
regarding the project for the forma-
tion of a company to control the
hemp output of the Philippines. The point
CT Hawkes. charge is that Colonel Heis-
tand represented 10 him falsely that GER
tain department officials would enter into
an arrangement by which the output of
hemp could be controlled. Hawkes. admits
that he endeayored to enter into the ar
rangement but declares that after spend
ing considerable money he discovered that
Heistand had no authority for his alleged
representations.
Friends of Heistand declare that he
made no such claim as is charged by
Hawes. AS matter of military FORM
however the charges will be sent to Colo
mel Heistand for explanation. Should they
be considered seriously by the department
it is thought probable that Colonel Heis-
tand will demand court of enquiry for
the purpose of clearing his record of the
accusation.

Letters From the Navy Department
to Enlisted Men.

The Navy Department yesterday sent
| out letters commencing the conduct OF en-
listed men of the service in two cases
that called for the display of courage
Two of the sailors saved the life of a
drowning man, but the other case was one
OF unusual self-sacrifice that approaches

affair is Hospital Steward H. D. Coke OF
the gunbcat Petrel who, according to the
official report of Lieutenant Commander
Jesse NJ Roper. the Petrel's captain, was
confined with smallpox patient on board
a hulk in the harbor tof Manila) for more
than two weeks and had the sole care,
night and day, during the length of the
rainy season, and at his death prepared

unteered to bury the body. although none
was an immune. Coke and these four
men were placed in quarantine for thirty
days in a dismal place and experienced
great discomfort. They were obliged to
destroy all their clothes.
The Navy Department sent to each of
the five men a copy of Lieutenant Com
mander Roper's report, with the following
comment by Acting Secretary Hackett:
The good conduct and unsclfishness dis
played by you on this occasion at consid-
cradle personal risk merits and receives
the hearty commendation of the depart
ment."
The other case was that of Paul Ansser-
esses and Hugh Patrick Mullen. of the
battleship Kentucky. They jumped over
board at Algiers on November u and
saved a drowning French sailor. Rear
Admiral Servan. of the French squadron

M'DoNALD NOT so WELL.
The Physicians believe He Is Trying
TO Hasten Death.

During the past two days there has
been little change in the condition OF
Samuel Mcdonald, who killed Auditor
Frank Morris. The pistol wound that he
inflicted upon himself in the abdominal
region is the cause OF the greatest trou-
BILE The stomach is badly inGamed and
will retain no food. Nourshment can
only be supplied the patient by injection.
and this method is Inadequate for a man
of McDonalds robust constitution. which
requires a large amount of food.
Mcdonald has often reiterated the
statement he made soon after shooting
himself, that he wished TO die, and on
several occasions has told DR.. Vaughan
the attending physician, that he desired
to be left alone so that he might not
recover He has talked to the nurses
and house physician at the hospital on va
rious subjects, but has never once spoken
about the shooting or his motive for
numbering Morris.
The physicians who have the case in
charge believe that Mcdonald realizes
that II he does not receive sufficient
nourishment he will die. and they think
that he makes all effort to keep what
food he may swallow from doing him
any good. Fran a surgical point Of
view, the case Is progressing nicely, as
the wounds have begun to heal in good
shape. but it is feared that McDonaId's
determination TO die may interfere with
his becoming eonvalescent. He Is closely
watched 20 prevent his taking any des-
perate measures TO terminate his life.

PLATE AND PROJECTILES.
Progress In ArmOr Making VIII Con-
tinue TIL Civilization Puts
TN End to War.

Further Improvements were intro
duced at Krupps Essen works, both
as regards the composition of the steel
used in the plates, a material being OBJ
tanned of tough nature, yet having
great tensile strength with high elias
tic limit and also further improve
ment WAS effected by carburizing the
sruface by means of gas concentration
instead of charcoal QIarvey method),
says Nature.
Briefly it may be said that the latest
type of hard-faced plates possess about
twice the resistance of the older types
Of plates. This enables great say
ing to be effected in the weight Of arm
or to be used for the protection of the
modern warship.
The firm has. however, recently pro-
duced capped projectiles. which, with
slightly higher velocity than the
average usually employed, readily per-
forate hard-faced plates, so that be-
fore long we may expect the latest
type of plates to be found quite yulner-
able. Thus the battle proceeds, first
the plate wins, then the projectile, I'M
til perhaps some day all civilized ma
lions may find it more profitable to re-
vert to a simpler and more effective
method of settling difficulties than by
trying to kill each other.

Judge and Dancing Master.

An English paper tells of Greek
Judge who took it into his head to
learn to dance. He is an elderly man,
and in spite of all his efforts he only
succeeded in getting out OF breath, so
ut last the dancing master lost patience
and told his pupil that he was incapable
Of learning. The judge therefore went
to law, and got the following verdict
in his favor: Seeing that man who
has no physical defects is not unfit to
be taught to dance, the professor is
hereby condemned to continue his les
cons until his pupil is proficient" The
willing magistrate and the unwilling
dancing master have therefore set TO
work again.

EAT TOO MUCH MEAT.
Hnny Physical Disorders Are Caused
in This Country by the Prev
alent Habit.

The opinion has been generally prev
alent not only in the medical profess
sion, but with the general public, that
light meats are more easily digesti-
BILE, that they contain less of deleteri-
Gus constituents than the dark meats
and that, therefore, they are better
suited for the nOurishment of sick
people in general. This supposition
was based, no doubt, upon the state
ments which may be found in medical
literature than the dark meats con-
tain very much more heterogeneous ma
terial and extractives than the light
meats. In q German magazine two
chemists of eminence publish the re-
suits of q series Of careful analyses
which do not agree with these Of the
older analyses. They show some OF
the fallacies of previous Investigators
md come to the conclusion that while
the white meats of poultry fish, etc,
do in certain cases contain less nitro
qenous and eXtractive materials, the
average amount does not differ great
lv enough in The white and dark meats
to make either preferable. In con-
GLIDING their article they state that
If 1t is desirable to limit the amount
of these deleterious food constituents
I'VE may accomplish the result much
more certainly by limiting the amount
of meat taken rather than by for
biJdf,,o dorl, meats
1t is q well-known fact that almost
all the food materials contain pro-
portion of waste matter, and this is
desirable. Most foods also contain
constituents which in large quantities
are deleterious, but in smaller quanti-
ties may be beneficial. The eXtrac-
tives of meat, among the more i'm
portant of which are Tactic acid,
butyric acid, acetic acid, ETC., are by
no means harmful if taken in small
quantities, as is ordinarily the case,
and the same is true of the nitro
genous constituents. There can be liz
tie doubt, however, that these constit-
uents do have a bad effect among
certain people who eat large quanti1i,s
Of meat, and this evil is without que
ton more prevalent in America tia.
in almost any other part of the worl'
1t arises from the fact that, the meat

WIND BLOWS HARD OUT WEST.
That's why the PASSENGER who Had
Imbibed Too Much Was Missing
from the Train.

The wind blew a passenger off my
train when | was railroading in the
western country" said a conductor now
on an Illinois run.
But / didn't know it until three
wears after the occurrence" he con-
tinued. "He was ticketcd for southern

coat, and turned it in, making a report
On the case. The company held 1t Tor
some time, and when no inquiry was
made the company advertised the coat
in the hope that the mystery might be
solved. There was no response. This
only spurred the company to renew its
search, and l knew that several hun
dred dollars were spent in an effort to
find the owner of the coat. You see

HORSES AT THE TOP.
Most Honorable Position a War Horse
Can Occupy Is Bearer of the
Kettledrums.

There are grades OF honor, even
among horses. We are apt to think of
the war horse as proud animal, and so
he is. and has a right to be, for he ia
called upon to be as brave as he is
proud. But proudost and most digni-
fed of all the horses of the army is
the animal that fills the position OF
drum horse in the regimental band. In
the British army cavalry bands are
mounted and the most honorable po-
sition in all the band is that of the
bearer of the kettledrums. The horse
is selected for his distinguished appear
ance. lie is often piebald, although
sometimes pure white; but whatever
his color, his appearance must be con-
sistent with the conspicuous position
he has to fill, says Youths Companion.
Something more than mere beauty
of form is required of the drum horse
He must be trained until he becomes
a dignilied and graceful bearer of the
handsome trappings that pertain 10
his high calling. His education is Sc
we're and prolonged. bringing him up
to that point where his pride and in
telligence make him equal to the du-
ties required of him.
His nerves are severely tried by the
booming of the large drums he carries,
but in time he becomes as Indifferent to
their noise as war horses do 10 the sing
ing bullets. In the parade his rider
has his hands full in the use of the
sticks. lie controls the horse by means
of reins fastened to the stirrup strap
near the foot.
The fame of the drum horse is often
won on the field of battle, and some
times a war horse that has won laurels
on the battlefield ard can carry himself
with becoming dignity in parades is
promoted to the honored position of
drum horse in the regimental band.
