LIEUTENANT FOREMAN.
Has Made an Excellent Military Record and
His appointment Was Merited.

Has Made an Excellent Military Record and
His appointment Was Merited,
The records of the War Department
show chat Albert W. Foreman of this
city, who was recently appointed
lieutenant in the regular army, has
made creditable record as captain of
volunteers in the Philippines, and the
general impression is that his appoint
ment to the regular army was merited.
His career in the Philippines has
been oommendatory. The young officer
was warmly recommended by Gen.
Grant, under whom he personally served
as chief quartermaster, attached to the
Forty first Regiment of Infantry, and
as assistant to the Acknowledgement
of the Department OF Northern Luzon.
An idea OF the favorable impression
made by Lieut.. Foreman upon the
officers of the War Department can be
gained from the fact that he passed the
examination with a record Of 1913, thus
passing over the grade of second lieu
tenant, to that Of first lieutenant lie
was one of this 11S officers who passed
the examination out of total OF 600
examined,

MOTHER sHIproN DIDwr sAr SO.

Information for Correspondent Who
Asks About Her Prophecy.
New York Sun.
A correspondent writes to the Sun to
ask for information concerning the so
called prophecy of Mother Shipton.
What is commonly spoken of as Mother
Shipton's prophecy IS piece of rhyme
which was first printed about 1862. 1t
is as follows.
Carriages without horses shall no
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the earth thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at the root OF troa.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse be at his side
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep shall tnlk.
In the mir men shall be seen,
In black, in white, in green.
Iron in the water shall float,
As ensy as wooden bont.
Gold shall be found and shown.
In land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do.
England shall at last admit fee.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
This rhyme was published in an
alleged reprint of chap book version,
and was included with about ten Others,
according to Notes and Queries, in
book issued by Charles Hindley, OF
brighton, England For number OF
years it was supposed by many that
it was what it purported to be,
namely, prophecy uttered by Mother
Shipton in the first half Of the sixteenth
century. Several persons, however, cast
doubts on its authenticity, and in
April, 1873, Hindley wrote to Notes and
Queries, and, to use tho words of that
periodical, made q clean breast of
having fabricated the prophecy. . ~
There is some doubt as to whether.
there ever was mother Shipton. The
Century Encyclopaedia says she was(
born near Knaresborough, In Yorkshire}
in July, 1888. and died about 1853. IL
also says in regard to her that she was,
"a half my thical English prophecies,
baptized Ursula Southiel. who MARI
ried Tony Shipton, builder. and,
according to tradition, was the child
of Agatha Shipton and the Devil. -
Other authorities say she was probably
wholly my thioal. Various other prophe-
ciss of less interest than the one quoted
are attributed to her.

Stick for High Salary.

Yesterday in the Assembly. Messrs.
Sweeney and Plat, Of the Ormsby DEL
ega.ion, made a firm stand in favor OF
sustaing the salary of the justices of
the Supreme Court.
When the bill came up for its third
reading and passage, the Ormsby
members endeavored to make the bill p
special order for Friday, but We're
voted down. AS the last measure. Mr..
Sweeney moved that the clause red nc
ing the salary to $1,000 be amended by
making it "a, 500. This brought Lem
Allen. of.Churchill, upin fighting trim.
Lem made red-hot tight for his
Measure. Arguing that the District
Judges we're really harder work than
the Supreme Judge.
Plenty of boquets were tossed about
duriGg the argument, in which pro and
col received bountiful supply. 1t is
evident that the members Of Ormsby
are in favor of maintaing high salary
for high talent and We believe they
are right.
