piled Mrs. B., waving her hand towards
the clock on the mantle. And then the
tables. reversed themselves, so to speak.
Upon consulting other time pieces, it was
proved beyond dispute that the senator's
wife was the social offender, and. in APP
parent confusion, she began her apologies
with the idea OF immediate departure.
She said she regulated her entire day
according to her watch and must have
been an hour ahead of every one else
since morning. 1t was a laughable situa-
ton, but Mrs. BIS tact and informality
broke the ice of embarra ssment. Her
visitor was urged to remain, and during

She admired. everything about the bridal

her hostess to arrange the flowers for the

1t proved a case OF love at first sight,
and since, that day society has wondered
at the ease with which Mrs. B. penetrat-

Inheritance Tax.
New York, Feb. 9.-Heirs of Cornelius
Vanderbilt have been served with notices
calling upon them to pay into the state
treasury the amount of their inheritance
tax. The total tax on the personal estate
of the millionaire agreed upon between
the representa- tives of the state, controller,
Surrogate Fitzgerald and attorneys for
the Vanderbilts amounts to $324,960. This
is exclusive of the residuary estate, about
the paying of which a contest is threat
ened. The surrogate has decided in favor
of the attorneys for the estate and eX
cluded the residuary estate from present
taxation. If this decision be sustained
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. the residuary
legatee, will be benefited by the interest

TIE appointment of Gen. Miles to be
lieutenant general, under the new army
law. is hardly justified by the other APP
pointment in which indiscriminate Jump
ing' has been done by the President. No
ranking general has a perpetual right
to command the army or armies Of the
United States. Congress creates the sew
eral ranks, and often fills them, as in
cases of Grant. Sherman and Sheridan,
and the President generally fills them.
Under political influences promotion goes
like kissing, by favors. In the present
case as in times past great injustice
has been done meritorious officers by
jumping" over their heads less deserving
officers who had "a pulp in Washington.
notable case occurred during the Mexi-
can War, that of Col. Thomas Hart Ben
ton T. s. Senator. who was appointed
major general with the expectation that
he would be put in command over his
seniors in rank, he having failed to Sc

lieutenant general. Congress also refused
to allow the President to have the right
TO nut a junior general In command over
a senior Thus the whole nefarious
scheme failed to be carried out, and Pres

nation as major general had been unani-

possessed the power to designate you
a Junior mojor general, to the chief of

result Of the examination Is, I am con-

The chief cause of the unpopularity of
West Point grows out of its supposed
"aristocracy'' and that West Pointers
look down" upon civilian" officers in
the regular or volunteer service. And yet
there is no foundation for this prejudice,
as a general rule. Maj. Gen. George w.
Cullum, u S. A, in his Register of West
Point lin three volumes) pays this justly
deserved and generous tribute to the vol
unteers of the country: "All honor to our
patriotic and gallant volunteers who
from the bar, the farm, the counting
house, the work shop, and every sphere
Of life, rush at the sound of the first hos
tile gun fired, to their country's defense.
Their self-sacrifice in giving up lucrative
positions and the comforts of home for
the privations of camp, their intelligence
in meeting the different requirements OF
their new vocations, their endurance
through long marches and weary cam
paigns, their steadfas tness in the darkest
hours of disaster, their Valor on the bat
tlefield or in the deadly assault, their
moderation when victory had assured our
success, and their return as peaceful cit
liens to a cordial submission to the laws
of their preserved country. are worthy of
all commentator" And this tribute
might be most appropriately applied to
the host of gallant soldiers in Savannah,
who so promptly and periodically volun-
teered at the opening of the Spanish
American war.

am glad to see that Gen. ]. II. Will
son, U. s. V, West Point graduate and
an old regular army officer, on his return
from service in China! speaks in terms of
praise of the japanese soldiers and Off
GERS, as I had formed a similar opinion
of them several years ago. With my old
friend. Gen. William T. Sherman, u. S.
A, 1 met the lieutenant general and other
officers of the Japanese army at the Phil
adelphia Centennial. Lieut.. Gen. Phil
Sheridan, Z. S. A, was also present, and
1 was ashamed of the lack of courtesy
and cordiality in his greeting. And yet,
to my mind, the Japanese officer of the
same high rank appeared to be his SUI
perior in every respect, and Gen. Sher-
man always spoke of him an accom-
plished officer and a polished gentleman.
Meeting these modernized japanese re-
called to me the time when Christians
were forbidden to tread the soil of Japan,
the penalty being death. But brave old
Commodore Perry dared to muster his
crew on the quarterback of his warship
in japanese harbor and order all hands
to sing "All Hail the Power of Jesus
name" Perhaps the floating of that grand
old hymn over the harbor bar and into
the city streets may have been the fore
runner of the great revolution that has
put Japan alongside of the powerful civ
ilized nations of the earth, while poor,
deluded China founders in the breakers
of superstition.
