celebrated case before the court
meets September ~.
Meanwhile the clerical force of the
Judge advocates department can
prepare the mass of documentary
evidence necessary for use before the
points may be gathered ready for the
opening. 1t should be noted that un-
der the ordinary rules of practice the
Judge advocate general of the navy is
called upon to review the proceed
ings of court-martials and courts of
inquiry. Secretary Long, has prom.
Used Capt. Lemly that he will be ex-
empted from the duty of reviewing
the proceedings of the Schley court.
Capt. Lemly has probably had more
experience in the prosecution. of
naval law cases than any other Of
icer in the navy, and is generally re-
garded as one of the best equipped
officers in the navy for the important
duties which will devolve upon him
as Judge advocate of the court Sc
lected to pass upon controversial
points resulting from the conduct of
the naval campaign in the West In
dies.
Prior to his assumption of his du-
ties as Judge advocate general Of the
navy, in June, 1892, he was prom
inently identified with several of the
most important trials and investiga-
tions in the recent annals of the
navy. AS judge advocate and record
er of various courts he traversed
nearly all points of the world visited
by United States warships, going as
far as China and Japan in the prose-
cution of such work.
He was judge advocate of the court
martial convened in China as re-
suit of the loss of the United States
steamship Ashuelot, and was also
Judge advocate in the court-martial
case of Paymaster Watkins, which
sat at Yokohama. He was also Judge
advocate in the court-martial cases
appointed for the trial Of ex-Surgeon
General Wales and ex-Paymaster
General Smith. Probably his most
important work Of this kind, how
ever, was as Judge advocate of the
court,$:sof inquiry which investigated
the loss of the Jeanette in the Arc
tic. That investigation was con-
Quoted in Washington and was
marked by almost as much acrimohy
and controversy as the pending
Sampson-Schley case.
Naval officers in speaking of the
fairness of Secretary Long in select
ing the court of inquiry point to the
fact that Admiral Kimberly was
Schley's commander back in the 7O's.

Killing Rats with Gas.

Some interesting experiments have
taken place at the London docks to
show the effect of new system for
the determination of rats on board
ships. The vessel is charged with sui
phur dioxide gas, which apparently
has the effect of attracting the rats
from their hiding places. and as soon
as they breathe the fumes they be-
come suffocated. In the experiments
on the steamer Gourkha several hum
bred rats were destroyed in a few
minutes by means of the gas, which
has no injurious effect upon the deo-
orations of the saloon.

N MACLAY.

that there was none in existence
worthy the name. When he left the
university he had little money, and
he went abroad for data. There he
made use of what knowledge he had OF
French and German and searched the
libraries.
One day after Maclay had learned all
he could he found himself in Germany
with just enough money to pay his
way to New York city on the steam2--.
He had three days in which to get the
steamer. How to live without eating
those three days was question, and
how to get the steamer was another.
Somehow he got on board boat going
down the Rhine and on that boat he
found bags of unroasted coffee. The
bags were of canvas and his knife was
sharp enough to cut holes in canvas.
He laid in store of green coffee beans,
and he had. not starved to death by
the time he reached the steamship.
Ever after that he liked German cook
ing and the Germans.
when on the Tribune Maclay would
hurry every evening to little Ger
man restaurant at Third avenue and
Tenth street and fill himself with the
products of that German kitchen at
a moderate expenditure. Sometimes
il, the summer he would take glass
of imported German beer instead OF
coffee, of which he was extremely fond
even when cooked. Beer he drank In
moderate quantities on Saturday
nights, when he usually went to Will
liamsburg, bought ticket for some
: ball given by fower-makers or paper
box makers, or shop girls. He would
dance to his hearts content and then
be very careful for the rest of the
week.
: Maclay always believed that writ
ing was, a. low art, and that no matter
how we'll a man could write he could
never achieve fame unless he really
had something to say. When he got
through writing the first volume OF his
naval history he got Erwin Wardman'
then copy reader on the Tribune, to
90 over it for him. Wardman was
Harvard man, and was considered an
authority on English language and lit
erature. Wardman often grew tired,
but he kept at the work of editing the
volume, and when it appeared in print
it had smoothness to It.
In 1894 Maclay left the Tribune and
began writing naval editorials for the
New York Sun. When he got ready to
write the second volume of his history
he obtained an appointment as light
housekeeper at Setauket, L. l., and got
married. He has children. Maclay
kept plugging along until Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Allen was sent
to Porto Rico. Maclay wanted to be
his successor. He is cow clerk In
the Brooklyn navy yard :.-~ .

One of the most familiar figures in
European waters in recent yachting
seasons is Eugene, the ex-empress OF
France. She is now cruising in the
Mediterranean. Her yacht, the This
tie, was once the property OF the late
duke of Hamilton. To meet the re-
quirements of her majesty the vessel
was considerably enlarged. AS al

enjoys the traditions of great court
following, though her personal attire
in these untoward days follows the
simplest lines Of the tailor's art. One
of the best friends of this woman OF
former majesty is the captain OF the
Thistle, who, though an Englishman.
invariably escorts her from the yacht
to the train at the end OF a cruise,
and, at leave-taking, bends over and
kisses her hand with a courtliness
worthy of the days of Louis XIV.
Though Eugene is always treated in
England with the greatest considera-
ton, her life has been sadly embit-
tered by the long exile from France.
Her nearest friends declare that her
passion for yachting has been the
means of preserving her life through
the trying vicissitudes that have fol-
lowed her through nearly three dec
AIDES. She still retains traces OF the
rich Spanish beauty that made her ia
nous in Paris half century ago, when
an emperor sought her hand.

Live stock ut the Fair

In 1900 the Minnesota State Fair
secured the national exhibit OF the
American. Hereford Breeders Associa-
ton, and with other animals shown set
forth the largest live stock display ever
made. In Chicago last fall, the Mime
sofa exhibit was eclipsed, but the Min
nesota men have now secured a joint ex'
hibition by the Ameican Short-horn
Breeders Association and the Hereford
people, with large accessions from many
other classes of breeders. The result
will be such gathering together OF four
footed beasts as was never seen on the
face of the earth.
1t will be a great occasion for
farmers who wish to study breeds, and
for everyone who likes to see fine ami
NAL, or who may be interested in bet"
tering the condition of the farming dis
tricts.

COURTOL, VIPER KILLER.
ION an Average He Destroys 1,50o Venom
Gus Snakes Per Year.)

ent incumbent of this important
office is gentleman by the name Of
NJ. Courtol, who, Judging from the
statement that he kills an average OF
1900 vipers a year, and one year
killed 2,5O2, must be pretty expert in
the business. He receives five cents
a head for all he destroys and makes
a tolerably comfortable living out OF
his employment. .
NJ. Courtol says the viper when at
rest is not easily seen, according to
the Philadelphia Times, as it assumes
the color of the ground or rocks of
the locality, becoming blush black
upon basaltic rocks and reddish upon
volcanic scoriae. In addition to this,
according to him, the viper chooses
it's bed before retiring by seeking
ground of the same color as its skin.
M. Courtol has utilized 1900 skins
of these snakes in making himself
two suits of clothes. One of them.
which he is seen wearing in the pic
ture, consists of a pointed cap, jack
ct, waistcoat and trousers: the other
is in the style of Louis XIV.

Yesterday morning brought with It
a decided touch Of winter.
In the city the minimum tempera-
ture was 40, at Schnepfs. but else
where 1t went as low as IS, and in the
country and on the hills to ard below
the freezing point.
1t rained necessarily during the
night and early morning. but after
daylight the rain turned to snow, and
by noon and all during the afternoon
the hill tops and half way down the
sides were as white as they could
possibly be in the middle of winter
although there was no snow in the
valleys. There was much rain in the
earlier hours of the afternoon, but it
ceased about four O'Clock Until after
dark, only to commence again later,
and at midnight there was a steady
downpour, that promised to continue
the greater portion of the night. The
total precipitation for the day was
1877 inches, more than half as much
as for the entire month of March, and
counting up to midnight, the total was
probably fully two inches, If not a
fraction over.
That there was not a high wind was
a wonder, in view Of the exceptionally
low barometer, but the day was unus-
ually calm. The low barometrical
point was 1881 inches, at about nine
o'clock in the morning. At ten
O'Clock last night there had been a
slow but steady rise to 1892 inches.
The thermometer varied but one de-
gree throughout the day, the low point
being 40 and the high point Al, the
latter from 8 a. N. to 9 p. M, making
an even temperature for twelve con-
secutive hours, something probably
previously unknown in the upper Ohio
valley.
Last night the creeks and small
streams generally in this vicinity ran
out heavily, bringing down much drift
wood, indicating general and heavy
rainfalls. No reports of especial dam
age were received, however. Wheeling
creek particularly was on a rampage,
and the rising water and swift cur
rent attracted much attention during
the later afternoon and the early
hours of the night,

MUSICAL.

Miss Leonora Jackson, the v%ioliniste,
who comes to Wheeling under the aus
pieces of the Woman's Musical Club, for
a recital at the Carroll Club Auditor
ium on the evening of the 18th inst,
is no ordinary musician, as will be
demonstrated by the following extract
from the New York Press:
"Leonora Jackson, the young Ameri-
can violinist, who made her first ap-
pearance here with the big Boston
Symphony Orchestra last night in Car
negie Hall, was recalled nine times
after playing Memberships Concerto
in e minor.
Miss Jackson won the audience as
soon as she came on the stage. She
has a peculiarly attractive manner, and
this, added to her splendid equipment
as a musician, established her in great
favor"
Other musical critics are equally
loud in her praise, and there is an
unanimity arising from conviction that
Miss Jackson is the leading artistic of
the day among women.
