WHY MEN ARE LACKING,
o"eini Ornaments of Navy Bureau
Entirely Miss the Point.

washington, Oct. 12-The Navy De-
partment is having an exceedingly
hard time in keeping the enlisted force
up to within several thousand of the
maximum allowed by law. Many off,
GERS are wondering why this is. The
bright geniuses of the Bureau of Navi-
gatlon,of which Admiral Crowninshield
Is the head, appear to have come to
the conclusion that the paper" of the
department soliciting recruits is not
allurlng enough. So they have de-
Vlsed a new pattern of a poster in
tended to wean the young man away
from the pillow to the forecastle of the
nlan-of-War. The first line consists of
the words Man Wanted, followed by
a large number of exclamation marks.
Ihls line is set up in letters about six
inches high, and of a proportionate
heavinesS. Set up on shore it might
well be used as a landmark by the
able mariners who designed it. Be-
meath the scare line, is a fine photo
engraving Of the new battleship Wis
consin, the queen of the navy, both as
to size and speed. Beneath the pic
ture are set forth the terms in dollars
and cents upon which the young man
who has forsaken the farm or the shop
may win undying fame for himself
The poster is so unlike the ordinary
paper heretofore issued by the govern
ment that it is likely to attract a good
deal of attention among the class of
men it is desired to reach.
Apparently it has never occurred to
the officers who devised the poster that
the fact that young man cannot rise
from the ranks to a commission is the
bar that keeps ambitious young Amer
leans out OF the service. They can
never rise above the rank of a nom
commissioned officer and no matter
how deserving they may be they must
always regard themselves as socially
and mentally the inferior of the more
fortunate boy who has been educated
at government expense at Annapolis.
They must also be ready whenever one
of the more fortunate souls DEGREES to
render almost any sort of mental SER
vice. The average American will not
serve in mental positions even in civil
life, and it is quite evident that he
balks, and balks very hard when he is
asked to go into a service in which
the penalty for sassing the boss is a
long imprisonment and if the sassing
occurs during war, the penalty is
death.

WE HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY.
Secretary Gage Much Worried Over
Treasury Surplus.

Washington, D. c., Oct PA con-
dition of affairs confronts Secretary
Gage which troubles him. Such a con-
dition would not worry anyone other
than the Secretary of the Treasury.
Uncle Sam has so much money in his
strong boxes that the further accumu-
lation of the coin of the realm is apt
to have a bad effect upon business.
Therefore the Secretary is losing much
sleep in pondering the question, what
shall l do with it?" There is a flood
of gold pouring in on him which, If not
soon checked, will fill every vault
contained in the grim and grimy old
building on Fifteenth street. Because
of this plethoric condition, all the fl
nancial sharps of the government are
engaged in discussing ways and means
for Citing rid of the gold hoard. 1t
must be amusing to the representatives
of foreign countries resident here to
read the plans that are submitted for
accomplishing the desired end. There
is not another country on the face of
the globe that is struggling with a
surplus. Nearly everyone is wondering
how it will be possible to make both
ends meet without a further issue of
bonds. All the worry of the financial
sharps in Europe, is to find ways and
means for setting stream of gold or
silver coin in their own. direction.
1t is worthy of note that the sur
plus is in danger of provoking the same
sort of political discussion that arose
about it in the latter eighties. Along
in 1888, if not earlier, the Democratic
statesman simply tore up the earth in
their foundations of the Republican
policy. They declared that it was
shame that so much more money was
being collected than was needed. Will
liam Mckinley took them at their word
that there should be a reduction of the
governments income. He framed
what became known as the Mckinley
bill and what is more to the point, he
had in enacted into law. What is still
more to the point is that it really
proved to be what it was called, a
bill to reduce the revenues. Then came
the disastrous campaign of 1892, bring
ing defeat to the party which had dar-
ed follow Democratic advice. In view
of the anxiety of Secretary Gage 1t
seems that he is looking backward
and trying to avoid a repetition OF
history.

JOE CANNON'S MISTAKE.
Said 1T "Wasn't His Lead" When
Called on in Prayer Meeting.

Called on ia prayer Meeun8s
washington, Oct. 12.-From over the
hills far away, comes story con-
corning Uncle Joe Cannon and what
happened when he went to church one
day recently. The tale is not well
authenticated, but the thing that is al
legged to be fact is SO probable that
it will bear telling. 1t is solemnly
alleged that on the day in question,
the man who used to delight in nav"
ing himself called the 'hayseed con-
gresham" went to a prayer meeting
The night before, 1t appears, he mad
been out with a number of dongenial
spirits who whiled away the time by
playing cards at a penny a heart
They tarried long at the game. There
fore, it was quite natural that on the
next evening, Mr.. Cannon yielded to
the somnolant influences of the meet
ing house They alege that the Hon
Joseph fell sound asleep and furtner
that he emitted a stentorian snore
This shocked the good brother who
was leading the meeting so that he de-
termined to awaken the sleeper
will Brother Cannon lead us IN
prayer" he asked in loud voice. The
sleeping statesman half awoke, rub
bed his eyes, and thus he spoke:
"'Taint my lead; / dealt last"
1t may be that that tale is apocry-
phal, but Cannon is a good natured
man and whenever the story tellers
about town hear what they think is a
new tale. 1t is straightway said that
the Illinois man is the mortal to whom
Il should be credited.

FIFTY CENTS A WEEK.
John Mann Consents 30 Pay This
Sum as AlimOny to His Wife.

John Mann, sued by his wife, Anna
Celia Mann, for temporary and per-
manent alimony consented in the SUI
perior Court yesterday to pay his wife
the sum of fifty cents a week for thir>
ty weeks and after that time the sum
of 81 per week He further agreed to
pay her counsel the sum of $40 and all
costs Of the case.
The wife had declared in her petition
that Mann deserted her on the night of
their marriage and had never contribu-
ted to the support of herself and her
child. In his answer, the defendant
acknowledged the separation at the
time charged, but declared that he had
always contributed as much as his
small means would permit to the sup
port of wife and child, until failing
health and the consequent inability to
work prevented the performance on
his part of this marital and parental
duty.
He expressed a willingness to con-
tribute regularly a small sum of money
and counsel settled on fifty cents a
week. At the end of six or seven
months it is. hoped that Mann's earning
capacity will be increased and he is
then to pay dollar a week, instead Of
fifty cents.

THE PRESIDENTS HAT.
He Cannot Get Out of Wearing II In
Cowboy Style.


Cowboy Style.
Washington, d. c., Oct. i2-It is
a trite saying that habits bind more
securely than heavy chains, and that
the breaking thereof is beyond the
strength of even a strong man. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is credited with a good
deal of strength, but he is having a.
hard time of it trying to forget the
tricks he learned while he played the
part of cowboy in that part of the
country which he loved so we'll. 1t
may be well imagined that a cowboy
needs settle his hat very firmly upon
his head if he doesn't want to lose it
while flying across the prairies in the
face of a strong wind. The President
learned that trick of jamming his
sonbrero well down over his ears and
his most strenuous efforts have been
insufficient to free him from it. Now
whenever he starts out 1t is quite evil
dent from the way he fingers his hat
that he is trying to settle it upon his
head in the way the ordinary men
have. He handles the head covering
in a gingerly sort of manner as IL he
were uncertain whether IL was. meant
for the place he had put it. AS he be-
comes interested finally in the CONVEX
sation he is carrying on, involuntarily
both hands seek the brim of the hat,
craps 1t firmly, and then it comes
down well over his ears. Then the
President is prepared for the worst
gale that could happen and is ready
to give undivided attention to his
companion no matter whom he may be.
Guides and politicians around the
White House draw the attention of
their friends to this popularity of the
President and venture to lay wagers
that he will do the hat tanning act
before he is gone fifty yards from the
executive mansion no matter how
calm the day may be.

O'DELL A MILLIONAIRE.
The ex-Savannahian Has Cleaned Up
Big Money in Recent Deals.

Charleston. S. c., Oct 12.-It will be
very pleasant to many people in Charl-
eston, Augusta, Savannah. and practi-
cally every section of the South to
learn that BILLY O'Delr' has made a
half million dollars. Mr.. O'Dell is the
proprietor of the O'Dell Commission
Company which has its headquarters
at Cincinnati, and number of branch
es throughout the West. Reports have
reached here to the effect that in the
recent great slump in cotton the house
made not less than $150,000 in Cincin-
natl alone, and it was added that the
total amount cleaned up by the COM
pany at all of it's branches aggregated,
probably, a half million dollars. There
are very few better known sporting
men from the South than Mr.. O'Dell.
While to people in Cincinnati he may
be known as w. J. O'Dell, capitalist;
to his home folks and his familiars
in Charleston and hereaboutts he is
known as BILLY" still, for all that he
is now a millionaire.

New York, Oct. 12.-It was announced
by Charles E. Cochran tonight that
the committee appointed some weeks
ago by the creditors of the Chequasett
Lumber Company of New York and
Boston; the American Hardwood Com
pany of Cincinnati, Ohio. and
Nashville, Tenn; the Muskota Lumber
Company of North Tonawanda,
N. Y; the Sylvania Lumber Company
of Philadelphia, the Daniels and Col

apeake Lumber Company of Baltimore,

the Suburban Coal and Lumber Com
pany of Garrison, Md; the Towson
Lumber and Coal Company of Towson.
Md, and Dali & Co., of New York,
after making thorough examination
of each of the above concerns, have
completed their report.
The report contains an exhaustive
review of the individual condition of
expenses of the companies, and shows
the causes that led to the embarrass-
ment of each. A plan of reorganization
is embraced in the report. 1t provides
for an organization of a $1,0O0,000 cor
poration to absorb the assets of all the
thirteen companies, and to assume and
pay in full their liabilities.

NEGROES CUT IN SCRIMMAGE.
MiIledgeviIIe Has a Row which May
Prove Fatal.

Miledgeville. Ga, Oct. 12.-Consider-
able excitement was caused this after
noon by a negro row on the streets of
this city. The trouble commenced at
the rear of Mr.. C. T. Whelans, on
Hancock street, and before interfer-
ence by the police could stop it, every
negro in the scrimmage was cut, some
seriously and some escaped only with
flesh wounds. 1t seems from the best
reports obtaineable that three Hitch
cock brothers jumped on another negro
named Scrutchins. AS soon as the as
sault was made Scrutchins went at the
crowd with his knife, welding it with
such rapidity that as a result all three
of the Hitchcock negroes are danger
ously wounded and the probability is
that one of them, Pack. will die.
Scrutchins was seriously cut in sew
eral places on the body, none of which
will prove fatal, though a severe cash
on the back is considered dangerous.
All the parties to the affair were i'm
mediately arrested and are now in the
hands Of the police and the doctors.
