HEIR TO SIXTY MILLIONS.
Advent of the Vanderbilt Baby an
 Important Occurrence.
Dem ocrat and Chronicle

Rochester Democrat and. Chronicle
 As heir to 60.0O0,O00, the new Wander bilt baby is quite an interesting person. age in this city. He came on Sunday night as a sort of consolation prize to Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt, who had failed all the week before to gain ribbon with his entries in the horse show. However, the consolation seems to be highly grati- flying to the father, who controls the bulk of the Vanderbilt fortune under the system of entailment adopted for the family by the founder of its fortunes, Commodore Vanderbilt
 The latest Vanderbilt baby. the son Of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt and his recent bride, who was Miss Elsie French up to January IA. of this year. is the great grea grandson of the old ferryman who, on his death. left the great bulk of his fortune to his oldest son, William H. Vanderbilt. The latter in turn left the greater part of the fortune. which had largely increased under his management, to his oldest son. Cornelius.
 The latter. as the result of the bitter quarrel with his eldest son, Cornelius, be- cause of his marriage to Miss Wilson, practically dIsinherited him and made the second son, Alfred G., his heir to what now amounts to S60, 00O. GOO And 1t is with this fortune. constantly growing. in sight that the new arrival will grow up. Through each successive generation the Vanderbilt millions have increased 8 that the head of each generation could, at his death leave the heir more than the father himself inherited, and at the same time leave several million to each of the other children.
 Both Alfred G. Vanderbilt and his wife are very young, he being but 2 and she a year younger. They are now living in his city home at Fifth Avenue and Fifty sixth Street.

JUDGE ADVOCATE GRAPH J. HUBBARD

ing officer is necessarily handicapped. l have called upon you to do this, and you have not even given me cne vodr- tesy of replies to my communications, which not only indicates your own serious neglect of Auty and Gisobedi- enee to orders, but it retards the work of other officers in the regiment, who have an interest in the welfare of the 3rd Infantry. and who are ever willing to render me every assistance. While the State does not appropri- ate any funds for the exposes of officers on their trips of inspection, at the same time l feel that any of- ficer who accepts commission from the State should be willing to expend some of his time. and. if needed, some of his money. to the promotion of the organization.
 If ye.Ir duties are such that you feel you cannot give the regiment the attention that is required Of your of- 4ice, shall certainly expect your res ignatIon. so that the officers of this regiment may elect a man who is will ing to give some of his time. and a little of his money. to the advance ment of the State militia.
 "I have not yet taken this matter I'D with the higher officials in the nil- itary, as I wish first to hear. from you on the subject, but If l fall to have a satisfactory" reply immediate iy, I shall at once take the matter before the Governor.

President Roosevelt is in the rule regulating the payments of salaries in cases of appoint ment found by the commission not to be in accordance with the rules. Heretofore there has been no practical check whatever. All that the commission could do was to lay the facts before the head of the department con- cerned and invite action. Although violations of the rules made cause for removal of those guilty, the removal requires definite affirmative action, and Is often difficult to secure. In cases where the head oR the de- partment is not zealous in the enforcement of the merit system the remedy has proved of no value. Under the Presidents new rule. any serious violation of the rules win carry with it the practical certainty of non- pay ment of salary which, in the nature of of- flee holders, is a strong deterrent. The same principle is applied even more strictly under the civil service law of this State, passed when MT. Roosevelt was Governor, and pro- noted well signed by him.

The letter of Lieutenant Colonel Kyle to Colonel Higdon upon which the charge of conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman is brought. was fin reply to the following from Colonel Higdon.
 Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 17, 1901.
 Lieutenant Colonel o. Kyle, Deca-
 tur, Ala:
 '.sir-Since my election to the Colo nelcy of the 3rd Infantry, Alabama National Guard, last April. have ad- dressed you several communications. both officially and unofficially, and have issued several orders to you. all of which have been completely ignor- ed by you. You have also absented yourself from the encampment held in Birmingham, July 10 to 16, with out rendering any excuse whatever.
 Tt has been my earnest desire to have every officer in the regiment do his full duty towards making the command an efficient one. aud I have received the hearty support or the resignation of all the officers with the exception of yourself. It is eer- tainly expected by the commenting officer of this regiment that the of- ficer next in command should give him his full support and cooperation. I have expected the Lieutenant Col onel to assist me in visiting the diff ferent companies in the regiment each month, and encourage and help them gain a degree of efficiency of which the State will be proud. and without this assistance the command

NEWSPAPER AS TEXTBOOK.
The Wise Plan Adopted by Mis-
 souri Educator.


 Mountain Grove CMo) Special to St.
 Prof. W. +. Lynch. principal of the Academy School of this city, advocates newspaper reading as potent educa- morning of eacn week to the study of newspaper articles. He is paid sub scriber of fifty-siX publications and has paper in his county. When asked about his unique plan, he explained his system .I discovered years ago that no text book was equal to the newspaper as a means for taking knowledge of the actual practical and up-to-date world into the schOolroom.
 History, geography. civil government, algebra, chemistry and the entire acad- emic curriculum teach only theory of the world and its facts. The real drama of life in its varied forms of commercial political and social relations must be seen through the mirror of the newspaper. Let every Friday morning be devoted to the reading of the newspapers. Have all tho pupils supplied with papers; no two pupils should ave the same issue of the same paper. so as to prevent con- fusion by pupils reading the same ar ticle. Each pupil should read but one arr iiticle. 50 as to be thorough, and this plan lEwilf Five u greater number of pupils an opBbftuhty sto recite what they have iread 7atbsi St
 | 'sWhen la sufficient time has been given | for d careful reading or some interesting ! article. the signal should be given to quit reading; and have all the papers folded so as to prevent the pupils seeing the articles as read: and each pupil rises and tells the substance of what he has read-an excellent plan for securing at tentien and improving the memory. Thus the story of the outside world, fresh l from the lives of busy and practical men and women comes into the classroom. and the lessons of real life are mingled with the dreams and a6oetrV of the stu dents young heart By this plan the | pupils not only soon learn to be strong | friends of the press, but the careful and thoughtful teacher will be enabled to find the trend of the pupil for good or evil. hence can know best how to manage him
 to develop a good and noble charactSr.
 "Indeed, my friend, the press is the
 best instrument known to civilization for l enlghtening the mind of man and inn
 proving him as a rational moral and
 social being. The three greatest factors of permanency and prosperity In our
 great Republic today are the. railroads,

European Royalty.

Quitting petty princes, there arc in Europs three emperors fourteen kings, seven grand dukes and four dukes-in all. twenty-eight. Of these only eleven at present have children to follow them, while two, if not three, re- quire an act of settlement The King of Servia has heirs at all; the Grand Duke of Hesse's nearest male heir is connected with him only through Philip the Magnaninous. who died in 1867; and the young Duke of Saxe- COburg -Gothas heir is the King of Portu- gal, In the last there is. of course, every probability of an early marriage and issue. Of the emperors, only the eCirman has son. The Czar's heir is a brother. and the heir of Austria & nephew. Among kings. Edward VII and the Kings of Denmark, Greece. Por- tugal and Sweden have The kingdoms O. Bavaria, Belgium, Roumania, Saxony and Spain would, matters arc, fall to near rela- tives. The heirs of italy and the Netherlands are cousins, the matter being complicated in the latter case by the fact that the cousin is already reigning sovereign, the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar. The heir of Wurtem- burg is a very remote relative, who is con- nected with the king only by their common descent from prince who died fin I79T

MORE JEwELRY FOR MEN.
New Devices from Rings to Badges
 for Masculine Adornment.

New York Sun.
 According to one New York dealer jew elry is worn much more by men now than year ago, and among some men luxury even to effeminacy in the line of personal adornment is growing very fast. The jeweler pointed to his own windows and those of other jewellers for proof of his assertion.
 'Signet rings, with crests, real or in- vented, he said. are the fad just now. They are usually very large and heavy. The snake rings with jeweled eyes for the serpents are also very popular
 The wholesale men who make a spe- cialty of badges and buttons are having their hands full in attending to that trade nowadays. Just keep your eyes open when you ride in a street car and notice how many men wear lapel badges; the number will surprise you,
 Tn the popularity of the fob and the relegation of the watch chain the jew elers have a good field for richness and ornate design On fobs you will now find suspended from the heavy gold buckles. lOckets. turquoises set in gold claws, and intaglios of beautiful design. All of this work is made finer than any which could be done on a chain without making the chain look heavy and vulgar"

 Time.

For the first time since he was elected to the office of Coroner. w. H. Tice yes terday acted in the capacity of Sheriff, and served legal papers. The Coroner was called into service because the Sher- if was disqualified. Some time ago John Schaefer & Son secured a judgment in the City Court against Thos. Howe for $2OC. Yesterday Sheriff Waller executed the papers on Mir. Howe, who paid the Sheriff something over $100. Howe claimed that Schaefer & Son owed him and he intended to " offset the account After he had paid the Sheriff he sued out a garnishment against Sheriff Wal Ter for the money which he claimed Schaefer & Sons owed him. The papers had to be served on the Sheriff and the services of the Coroner were called into play. Coroner lice executed the papers and the hearing Is set for trial in Feb ruary,

 Dear Madam-About ten weeks ago I met young man whose company en- Joyed very much. Unfortunately nearly He, probably thinking the circumstance intentional on my part discontinued call Ing. 1 would like to meet him again Can you suggest any way of doing so without my losing my dignity?
 It would be perfectly proper for you to write a nice little note to the young man expressing regret at your previous ton tU call at your house. A splendid way would be to invite him to meet one of your girl friends. A young man should write and ask for an evening and not call at random and expect to find q young lady at home. Let the young man know that you expect this courtesy and it will save future embarrassment.
 Dear Mrs. somers-wlI you kindly tell me when would be the proper time to announce an engagement when the date of the wedding is indefinite, Also what would be the proper way to announce it? Bessie. It is not necessary to have the date of the'wedding fixed in order to announce the engagement. In most cases din- uer is given at which the nearest rela-
 
 of the young woman to the man whom she is to marry. But whether this is done or not etiquette demands that the relative write to her friends acquaint- ing them of the fact while the young woman imparts the same information to her acquaintances in the same way. The announcement may also be given to the society editor of a newspaper. The Ad- Vertiser always prints such announce ments when its readers desire it.
 
 Dear Mrs. Somers-Will you kindly ad- wise me through the columns of The Ad- vertiser in regard to what to have for refreshments when entertaining at a progressive cuchre party, and would you advise to set the table. and kindly tell what kind of place cards to use.

Kyle Ignored Order.

The Colonel of the Regiment still failed to receive a reply from the Lieutenant Colonel and when arrangements were made for the annual encampment of the regiment in Birmingham in July a copy of an order instructing the officers to report for practice duty at the encamp- ment was mailed to Lieutenant Colonel Kyle by Colonel HigdOn. The order was ignored and Lieutenant Colonel Kyle failed to attend the encampment
 The apparent indifference of Lieuten' ant Colonel kyie caused Colonel Higdon, on August 17. to write him a letter in which he declared that unless he could get a satisfactory explanation of his the Lieutenant Coloners-conduct, he would report the matter to the Cove nor. This called forth the sensational letter from Lieutenant Colonel Kyle to Colonel Higdon upon which the charges of conduct unb ecoming an officer and a gentleman" are based
 The charges were preferred by Colonel Higdon against Lieutenant Colonel Kyle soon after the sensational letter was re- ceived but 1t is said that friends of the officers iiitervened and the ordering of general courtmartial was withheld un- til it was aseertained that this was the only course that could be pursued.
