NO CHARGES PREFERRED.
Captain Halls Conduct Not to BE
Investigated.

Frank A Hackett, Acting Secretary of
the Navy, has addressed a letter to
Capt. n. H. Hall. of the Marine Corps, in
regard to criticisms of that officers con-
duct while in command of the marines at
the siege of Peking. in which he says that
no charges, as alleged, have been prefer
red by Minister Conger. The letter is as
follows:
THE Department is in receipt of your
communication of the 4th ultimo, in which
you refer to the numerous articles which
have appeared from time to time during

ger had preferred charges OF cowardice
against you and quoting the Navy De-
partment as their authority for the arti-
Gle in question, and request the Depart
ment TO forward those charges to you if
any such were ever made, and you ask,
in case the newspaper articles in ques-
tion are not founded on fact, that the
Department will correct the false state
ments that have appeared in the different
papers.

From seventy-five to one hundred trot-
ters go over each year, the number ex-
ported these last few years having re-
mained about stationary. The sales at
which these horses are picked up by for
eign buyers begin in October; the horses
are sent across from November TO March.
The prices paid for these trotters here
vary, for the horses themselves vary. In
general the extremes are from S,5e0 to
$40 900. The most of these horses are
bought for both racing and breeding.
They are matched nowadays in Russia

world, where they trot through the win,

dict how speedy horses will result from
the crossing with Austrian and Russian
mares.
For some years now the Continent has
been a paradise for the American trotting
horse. In the development of these inter-
csts today Austria and Russia are leading.
Nor are these countries only importing
horses. They have been importing Ameri-

Back From Purgatory.

A startling story, says the Ra.
leigh IN. CO. Post, comes from
Northampton county, vouched fol
by trustworthy citizens:
A few days ago while Henry
Moody was walking along lonely
road there suddenly appeared be-
fore him Wilkes Scott, man who
has been dead since January
Moody recognized Scott at once
and was about to turn and run when
the apparition spoke and asked il
he Moody was afraid of him
Moody says he then felt no fear and
answered, Il was at first, but an
not afraid now" Scott said
'sWell, | want you to get me some
thing to take. | have been in pur-
gatory ever since | left here, and
what | get there does not agree with
me-" Then as mysteriously as he
had come he vanished, and left
Moody standing alone in the road.
Moody, who is said to be truth
full, sticks to the story, and declares
he has seen the ghost Of Scott, and
recognized him just as he had
known him when alive.

To Avoid Lightning.

If out of doors, keep away from
trees, haystacks, houses, largelsheets
of water, river banks, etc. If in
the open plain, where there are no
trees or buildings, you are safer
lying down than standing up. If
near wood, stay there and do not
go nearer. If near a single tall tree,
you are pretty safe 80 yards away.
Indoors you are safest of all if you
adopt Franklin's plan. Find the

Hang up hammock by silken
cords, get in and stay there. Fail

INTERVIEWING CROKER.

The reporter who goes to inter-

time realizes he is confronted with
a serious obstacle when Mr.. Croker
puts the usual question to him,
"Why should you come to me for
this information any more than you
should ask any other citizen you
should meet ?"
When William ]. Bryan arrived
in New York on his first visit during
the last presidential campaign, Mr..
Croker and another prominent
Tammanyite were on the committee
to meet the Democratic leader at
the Grand Central station. There
was an enormous crowd present,
and the police had hard work keep
ing them in order. At one time the
crowd pressed in on the platform.
Mr.. Croker and the other gentleman
were seated on truck well up the
platform.
A police captain in charge of the
squad approached the chieftain and
asked:
'sMr. Croker, do you want me to
keep this crowd back in the street %

ment with his piercing eyes and an

when some one discovered that the
bay window extended four feet over
the building line. Neighbors at

house had to come down. She hun

services of an architect, she began
to put up 2 shanty on the site that
will squat as a reproach and an eye
sore. Campbell Park is a beautiful
place. The shanty stands with its
back to the street. A man who
never before had done any painting
was hired to smear it yellow. Then

Bombardinq the Clouds.

The plan Of protecting vineyards
from the ravages Of hailstorms
seems to have been successful in
part only, if at all, in France and in
Italy. Some experiments have been
made in both countries, but the in
ference drawn up to this time seems
to be that whole parks of artillery
containing many guns of large cali
Der will be needed if reasonable Sc
curity against hail is to be insured.
And it is not altogether certain as
yet that even if hundreds Of 16 inch
guns were to be discharged at short
intervals the protection would be
complete. The bombardment of the
heavens cannot yet be considered
effectual.
