1NerAND's NEW SWORD.
Made totThrust, Because the Old One
wouId Not Cut.

would Not Cut.
That the rifle is mightier than the
sword is an incontrovertible fact, but
that the sword will be finally sheathed
as an unusable weapon in modern war
is not true, despite the endeavor of the
pen to prove the worthlessness of it.
As shock weapon the sword holds
no IAace with the lance, but its handi-
ness in pursuit is undeniable if the
sword be of the right kind, says the
London Express. In South Africa our
weapons, made Ostensibly TO cut, were
used by our troopers to belabor fugi-
tive Beers in vain efforts to make a
cut, and so bruised have some been
with the process that fiagellation would
appear to be the proper term to apply.
Recognizing this, the war office is
going to arm the hussarS with Il new
sword whose chief use will be to
thrust. The edge of sword cannot be
maintained upon prolonged service,
but Major General Grant, the inspector
general of cavalry, in recommending n
new sword, suggests the preservation
of a certain degree of sharpness by the
use of leather scabbards.
The new sword will be modelled on
the pattern now in use, which was in
troduced in 1899. but with certain
notifications, conforming with the Ital-
ian school. The hilt will be broader, to
give freedom in the thrust, and the
point will taper more, making the
weight about Il pound less.
The new sword will introduce more
thoroughly the Florentine system of
fencing, TO which the inspector of
gymnastics. Colonel Malcolm Fox, has
for sO many years pinned his faith and
whose value its chief opponents, Cap
tain Edgeworth-J ohnStone, Sergeant
Major Belts and eX-Staff Sergeant
Forester, have so often demonstrated
in open competition.
SwOrtlmakers believe in the thrust
ing weapon provided it is heavy
enough to meet the rough usage of
campaign. This is just what the new
sword will bean unbreakable rapier
OF the broad kind.

Thus armed by official command
Janitor j. H. Capien, of the North
Hill school, will undoubtedly give any
member of the Portage township
School Board strong resistance when
an attempt Is made to put into exc
cutlon a plan, Col. Gibbons heard had
been decided upon.
The plan, according to the Colonel,
Is for the Portage township people to
demand Of the ianitor that lie sur.
render the keys of the North Hill
school, inasmuch as the year for
which the City Board had leased the
building has expired.
When the matter was first brought
before the Board, ut its meeting last
night, Col. Gibbons beheld the janitol
that lie was present, and conveyed
to him the impression that the only
appropriate thing for him to do was tc
! hand over the keys to the temporary
| chairman of the Schools and Disci
| pine committee, who, by the way, i
no less II person than Col. Gibbons
Later, after the question had been de
cided, President Slabaugh, who alst
has few things to say in running th'
affairs of the Board, directed that tn,
Colonel return the keys to tho janitor
who was instructed TO hold them unit

Colonel Gibbons also had a talk with
members of the Portage township
School Board, during which they told
him they were willing to release the
building to the city for three years,
and pay no Immediate attention to the
suit now pending to determine the
owner of the building. This lease
would be made upon the same terms
as those include in the lease just ex-
pired. This. proposition was presented
in recommendation by Col. Gibbons,
but was amended, upon motion of Mr..
Otis, to read, zone year" The amend
ment was adopted, and it is believed
that no more will be heard from the
the matters until ii comes to trial in
court.
1t was also stated by Col. Gibbons
that the Portage township people pre-
ferred having the case tried before
Judge Nye.
The arrangement in the old lease was
that the city should provide all the
books, teachers, and keep up the build
ing and permit Portage township prl'
pills in the ncighborhood to attend the
school. There are 20 Portage pupils
and $50 city pupils nt the school
