General Greene's Discipline.

General Francis Vinton Greene was
one of the strictest disciplinarians in
all the army that went out to fight
Spain. He was in command of the Sew
enty-first regiment, N. G. N. Y, at
Camp Black, near Hampstead, N. Y.
AS the regiment was breaking camp
on the way to the front an old gentle
man interrupted General Greene, who
was talking with the writer.
"Sir," he said, will you grant brief
leave of absence to Mr.. Blank, a pri-
vate in this regiment? He is son of
the late Colonel Blank of the army.
His mother is dying, and she is asking
for her boy. He will join his command
at Tampa"
II am very sorry, sir" replied Gen.
eral Greene, but it will be impossible
to deviate in any case from the rule
by which we are all bound. My own
father lies dying at home, yet cannot
go to him."
And General Greene, as a matter of
fact, did not for many weeks see his
father, who died before the Spanish
war was ended.

The Missing Turk.

Sarah Bernhardt was once playing at
Marseilles in spectacular play in
which she made her entree accompa-
MED by six Turkish slaves. A line on
the programme announced that these
six Turks would accompany Nine.
Bernhardt, but when the time came for
them to go on one of the youngsters
had disappeared. Sarah mustered the
five in order and made her entrance
with grand flourish. The house was
crowded, but not hand clap greeted
her as she appeared. Then a still, small
voice in the gallery murmured some
thing in an indignant tone. Fifty
voices Immediately took up the strain.
and in ten seconds more the whole
house was shouting the same phrase.
Bernhardt strained every nerve to
catch what they were complaining
about. She knew the phrase began
with "Manque," but the rest of it was
lost in the general hubbub. For full
minute the tumult continued. Then
Sarah, muttering things below her
breath, rushed like fury down to the
footlights. In the front row the ac-
tress had spotted one man who was not
taking part in the hullabaloo. Pointing
at him, the actress exclaimed sternly
'You seem to be the only sensible per-
son In the house. Tell me what on
earth they are kicking up this row
forT"
The man rose, bowed to the actress
and remarked in very bad American
French, Madame, you are shy one

Poison Proof People.

There are entire communities Of pol
son proof people who partake of doses
Of white arsenic with as much zest as
the average person partakes Of meal.
Chief among these singularly gifted
people are the Syrian and Corinthian
shepherds who inhablt the districts of
Lamprecht, SalZburg, Hartberg, Leo
ben, OberZeirung and the ErZgebirge
mountains. The sturdy mountaineers
consider that arsenic improves their
wind for chamois climbing.
Some years ago DR.. Knapp put two
Of these men through their PAGES be-
fore the German Society of Physicians
assembled at Gratz. The one ate six
grains of white arsenic, or enough to
kill three men, without experiencing
the slightest Inconvenience. The other
partook of four grains of yellow arse
mic, or orpiment, with equal impunity.
1t was explained that, seeing the good
effect of the drug upon the coats and
condition of their tiocks, many of these
shepherds start the practice under the
impression that taken in moderation it
is good for human beings also.
Usually started with small weekly
dose spread upon bread and butter, the
embryo arsenic eater has to undergo a
very severe test of his devotion to the
drug. Violent sickness and burning
pains accompany its first use, and the
drug speedily asserts its fatal power
over its devotee.
Any attempt to leave off the drug is
generally fatal. The women of these
arsenic eating districts are famous for
their beautiful compilations and luxuri-

with slim Purses.
Bank clerks generally look so sleek
and comfortable and are almost In
variably so well groomed that their
grievances rarely receive patient hear
ing.
One who was recently dismissed for
the terrible crime of smoking pipe

No clerk Is allowed to smoke a pipe
In the streets during banking hours or
at lunch.
The average clerks salary is not so
very high, but nevertheless he must
wear a silk hat and cane to the office,
dressed as one with double the salary.
Wearing a cap TO business is not to be
thought of, as It is an objectionable
offense in the eyes of the bank officials.
The salary Of the average bank clerk
ranges from about SO shillings week,
but in many banks the salary is much
lower and the chances Of promotion
very small.
A clerks money is greatly diminished
by his having to subscribe to numerous
funds, such as sports" fund, to keep
the cricket or football grounds In order,
which he himself is never able to see.
Saturday is no holiday for him, as he
does not leave the office on those days

Strike in Columbia Cotton Mills.

In the Olympia, Granby and Rich land cotton mills of Columbia South Carolina, 1,700 operatives are needed and are customarily employed, but the Textile Union has been organized there, a strike has been ordered, and today not over 100 operatives are at work, mostly children. This strike is one of the largest that has occurred among Southern cotton mills, and 1t is watched with intense interest both among mill men of the North and the South.
 The Providence Journal, in discuss ing it, does not hesitate to say that New England aid it. New England or ganized the union which is managing the strike, and the Journal says the Northern unionists did this indirectly for the interest of Northern million aires" This is a frank and import ant confession.
 In the strike at Augusta, Georgia, two years ago, it was asserted, if not proven, that Northern mill owners

city, and this feature of it will have much to do with the course of affairs.
 But deeper than this is the contest between David B. Hill and Richard Croker over the control of the State Democratic organization. They do not like each other. Neither can gain the support of the other. No doubt MT. Hill would like to see Controller Coler made Mayor, whether by Tammany or by the fusionisIs. MT. Croker will doubtless prevent MT. Coler's nomina- tion by Tammany, but if Tammany loses control of the city patronage, Hill could probably obtain control of the State Democratic organization.
 Thus far no one has even guessed who the Democratic nominee for Mayor will be. The Squire of Wan tage is coming over, and Tammany will then be in position to select a leader that the fusionists will find it difficult to upset.

The Debts of a King.

Almost the funniest serious thing in the world is related to the debts of King Edward" said Birmingham man who has dwelt in England.
 His majesty-who once did me the honor to receive me-owes whole lot of money, as English would say; and 1t Is almost Imaginable that a syndicate has been formed to pay off the Kings debts. His majesty whom I reverence for his exalted rank amongst my own race-my- self being more Anglo-Saxon than the King, even.
 '"The story comes from London that the problem of the payment of King Ed wards debts has been solved by Lord Farquhar, a member of the banking firm of Herries and Farquhar, who has ac- cepted the post of controller of the royal household. When multitude of the bills of the Prince of Wales came due, upon his accession to the throne, Lord Farquhar formed a syndicate to liquidate the debts, stipulating that they should control the royal income and make such retrenchments as were desirable in the royal expenses.
 .'It is stated that the item of stealage from the royal exchequer alone during the past forty years has resulted in an annual drain of at least 100000. The first payment on an obligation of a25,OOO has been made by the Farquhar syndicate to the Prince of Wales hospital fund, to liouidate a debt to the late Sam Lewis, the money lender"

OSCAR w. UNDERWOOD.

From the Montgomery Journal.
 In selecting Hon. Oscar W. Underwood as chairman of the State campaign com mittee the State committee made no mistake. MT. Underwood is the able and popular member of Con- gress from the Sixth district, and has in a few years become one of the leaders from the South in that body. He is conservative, broad-guage, young man who will conduct a campaign on high plains, and will create no needless an- tagonisms or frictions inside or outside the party. He will be aggressive but not intolerant; he will attempt to reach the people by reason and argument, not by questionable. means or hurtful methods. He will attempt to carry the constitution by honest, not dishonest means. He will select his committee from among the leading and influential public men of the State, who are sure to be in sympathy with his methods and alive to the condi- tions which confront the committee.
