ROOT STOPS A SALE.
Orders That n Sinccure Extended to officers i'm Purchase of Panama
 Hats Be Discontinued.

Secretary Root has prohibited the army quartermasters in Washington from importing into this country an- other lot of Penama hats. A week or two ago a large number of these hats were brought from Porto Rico. They were of excellent quality, and were easily retaiied for $10 or $15, current market prices. They were sold at cost to army officers on duty in Washing ton who were willing to pay the price of S1.05 asked for ca hchat.
 Circulars were sent to these officers asking them to call at the United States depot quartermaster's near the war department, between ten and twelve Wednesday. Long before the expiration of that period the hats were purchased by those entitled to the favor.
 The demand proved so great that the army quartermasters arranged to, import an additional lot of 500 hats. Secretary Root got wind of the pro- proposed transaction and prohibited the importation of the hats on the ground that it was an unnecessary favor to extend an army officer and calculated to arouse the ire of the hat manufacturers and dealers who were being deprived of a chance to sell American made goods. Besides the hats were admitted free of duty and were being sold at absurdly low prices.

LEOPARD TERRoRIzEs CREW.
Fierce Beast Skipped on British Boat in Insecure Cage Almost Gains
 His Liberty.

The British steamer Bucentaur, from Calcutta, commanded by Capt. Newman, brought to New York the other day huge leopard for MT. Burke, of Philadelphia. The cage was of native construction and not strong. On the first night out the fierce beast forced it's head and shoul- ders out of the cage, causing a panic among the sailormen. Capt. Newman rallied his crew, who, armed with clubs, iron bars and slicing irons, kept the beast at bay. The sailors drove it into it's cage and kept it there un- til the bamboos could be strength ened. Thirty-fise goats were shipped for the leopard, who is particular about his diet. Up to the time ot landing the leopard had finished all but five of the goats.
 The Bucentaur brought also large consignment of British India plants for the horticultural gardens in Washington. The plants were sent by United States Consul William T. Fee, of Calcutta.
 The British steamer Afridi, Capt. Golding, from Yokohama, brought a collection of fine animals, consisting of five bears, four deer, 16 monkeys, lemur, or ghost fox" and an anoa, or s'cow of the woods,'' said to be the smallest wild heifer ever captured.

GUNS HEARD FOR MILES.
Expert Gives the Results ofaa Series of Experiments and Their Bear
 ing on Rain Making.

A remarkable record has recently been brought to light concerning tht distances at which the firing of heavy guns can be heard. These discoveries have an important bearing upon rain making experiments, and throw side lights upon the Sampson-Schley con troversy. An expert of the name of c. Davison made elaborate prepara- tions to take observations of fleet firing when the late Queen Victoria's body was taken from Cowes to Ports mouth. The result of these observa- tions established the facts that the reports of heavy guns were clearly audible at the extraordinary distance of 14O miles inland, while at a dis tance of S4 miles the reports were so loud that 1aborers in the fields put down their spades to listen, and at 61 miles from the guns windows were shaken. These statements bear upon the Sampson-Schley controversy, in- asmuch as Admiral Schley's state ment, made May 23, 1898, concerning the hearing of guns 40 miles away, which he believed were the Spanish fleet, was received by many persons with considerable incredulity.

WHY OUR SOLDIERS ARE BEST.

If Lord Wolseley wishes to deter mine the exact cause of the superior ty of the American soldier, which he recognizes and learn why our officers get more out of the men than the off, cers of foreign powers, which pride themselves upon their military organ iZations, he will have to look further than the pay rolls of our army. Our soldiers excel for the same reason that our citizens in other walks of life are winning victories from their foreign competitors. The citizens here are not only better clothed, better fed and better housed than the average man in any country of the world, but our institutions have bred in the bone of tho American the deepest reverence for and love of country, and have tended to make him an independent man among his fellowS-a man inn bued to the core with manhood of the highest type. Our army, unlike many of the armies of the world, does not at- tract the parasites of society. Our 70 per cent of rejections show that we will not have such men in the army, and, because of the rigidity of our ex- anlinations to prospective recruit, few of the members of such a type do creep into our ranks. In showing Lord WOlseley the deeper significance in the superiority of our army it is eminently proper that we call particu- lar attention to the undoubted superi- ority of the preliminary training given our officers at West Point.
 That West Point is the best military school in the world is conceded by all impartial critics. It's methods trans form the average youth into the hon. orable. refined and highly educated of- ficer of our army. He is pre-eminedt- ly taught the habit of command, 2 which as rule he uses without any of the arrogance shown by officers of some of the armies of Europe, notably that of Germany. He is made to real ize that he commands men who are as sensitive as they are brave, and who appreciate and respect character combining generosity, kindness firm ness. and, above all else, physical and moral courage. These traits of char acter are carefully cultivated at West Point. with result that. besides hav- ing the best enlisted personnel we have in the United States army, with ollt question or doubt the best trained and most capable gentlemen as off eers.

THE WAYS OF WOMAN
Hotel Clerk Swears They Are Alb
 solutely Inscrutable.
Tells of Mistake He Mnde About q Female Guest Who Had Ordered Nineteen Cocktails Within
 Sixty Minutes.

"The ways of woman?" repeated the hotel clerk to New York Sun reporter. ssYes, you get a good in- sight into them in hotel" Then in a lower tone, with a touch of remin- iscence in it, he added: Do you know, they are much like the ways of Providence, inscrutable and past finding out? And you are likely to jump the wrong way in judging a woman's motives. Now, I'll tell you story to illustrate that.
 sThe other day a well-groomed woman drove up to the hotel ill a hanson. She was becomingly dressed and looked city bred. She was par ticular to get good suite of rooms and paid for them in advance. I saw to it that she was shown up to her apartment and then gave no further thought to her. She was unaccom- panied.
 Some time later my assistant re- marked that the guest in AT was do- ing land-office business at the bar, but I paid no attention to his com ment, because it is my policy to dis courage any seeming familiarity be- tween employees of the hotel and it's guests. But I violated my own rule a few minutes later, when the very excellent and discreet mixer of drinks of the house, who has been in it's employ for 20 years and has privileges that are denied ordinary barkeeps, came to the desk with an apologetic air in his face and asked for a word with me.
 What is it, Charles?' I said.
 Excuse me, sir he said, but T. we'll, thought sir, as how I'd better call your attention to the guest in AT

Tn the opir- ion of the government engineering of :ers, it would be impossible for the car to fall any distance, no matter what might happen to the machinery.

 Nineteen cocktails in an hour, mind you! And hold that's whole lot too many in respectable botel. Yes, even though the woman's city bred. But flatter myself that con- cealed the astonishment that I felt, for I'm firm believer in office disci- pline. Accordingly I thanked Charles for coming to me and told him that he might leave the matter in my hands.
 "A moment later found me knock lay, such as might have been expect ed, the woman of the hanson ap- peared, and, in view of, the determin- ation I had reached, she was provok- ingly sober and self-possessed.

 I am sorry to say to you, madam : I ejaculated, in freezing tone, that these rooms are required, and I shall have to ask you to give them up.

 "'I believe I recognize you as the hotel clerk the little woman said; and again wondered that she showed no signs of intoxication. will you please inform me why you want the rooms when I have already paid for them?'
 1T could have sworn that the wom. an was perfectly sober, but the thought of these 19 cocktails was too overpowering and I blurted out:
 "'We don't care for women like you in this hotel. A woman that drinks 19 cocktails in an hour can't stay here.'
 "Well, she strengthened up little and the corners of her mouth were twitching with the suspicion of a smile as she pointed to the mantel over the fireplace.
 There, she said, 'are the cock tails. Did you think that I drank them? I only ordered them for the cherries, of which I am very fond
