a WEST POINT MAN.

~ w Eo l. 1olNI MAN,
Lieutenant Rowell is a West Point
graduate of 80, and in the course of
conversation yesterday with a Trib-
une man he expressed some pretty
sound views about the subject of
hazing. Among other things. he eX-
ploded the romance of Captain Schoef-
fel, the braying cadet who was said
to have gone through West Point
without being once hazed, and who in
his plebe year soundly thrashed thir-
~ other classmen who attempted to
amuse themselves with him. Lieuten-
ant Rowell incidentally mentioned the
matter as follows: IT suppose you
read in all the papers," he said, about
Captain 'Schoeffel, now out in the
Philippines, who took a course in
prize fighting and then came on to
West Point from Rochester. You've
read about him, of course, and how
he thrashed five upper class men, in
one day. Now, I was at West Point
from sc to 90 and l happen TO know
the facts in the case.
Captain Schoeffel came to the acad-
envy in 'S7, and during his course there
' only know of one fight in which h
was engaged, and then he was sourdly
and deservedly thrashed by one Billy
Butts. Schoeffel committed an Of
Tense against all academy traditions
one night in answering the sentry
making the rounds of the floor on
which he slept. In answering for his
room. whether it's occupants were safe
in bed, he replied to the sentry's chal-
lenge with all right the customary
response minus the sir which il is
an unwritten law at West Point that
plebes should use I'm speaking to upper
classmen. The sentry. whose name
was Linard, said to him. WHY don't
you say All right, sir?' and Schoef-
ferl made profane answer tel
ing him to go to a. warmer locality.
BUTTS Volunteered.
"The matter was not reported anv
further, but our class held a meet
ing, and regarding the matter as n di-
rect insult to every member, decided
that Schoeftel ought to be properly
thrashed for it. A fellow named Billy
Butts volunteered to attend to the
castigation. This Butts was several
inches shorter that Scho sffel and
about forty pounds lighter, but the
iNouil VI tiiS pdttlC NuC Lar inherent
to what has been generally reported
by the press.
Butts came out of it with only a
few bruises on his breast, but Schoef-
fel had to be carried to the hospital
The mill went seventeen rounds, and
was one of the hardest fought that
ever occurred at the academy. These
reports about Captain Schoeffel have
been terribly exaggerated. he is now
doing his duty out in the Philippines,
like every gallant man, and | doubt
If he would want these false rumors
to get about.
"Hazing, however has, l think grown
entirely out of bounds since | left
West Point when there was compara-
lively little done. / think in a way
its growth may be attributed to the
fact that so many young men, shortly
after graduating, come back to the
academy as instructors. They are
thoroughly in accord with class tra-
ditions, and in their edgerncss to up D..

Separate Waist STAYS

Despite the numerous predictions to
the contrary, the separate waist is still
here. and there is every indication that
it is here to stay. A walk through one
or any of the shops will convince the
most skeptical of the truth of the above
assertion. They are OF all sorts and de-
scriptions. They are of silk, flannel,
mohair, pOplin, cashmere, albatross,
challie, velvet, corduroy, or any of the
other fabrics that feminine flesh is heir
to. and here are styles galore. Button
back. button front and NOrfolks, are
the leading styles, to put it tersely.
But there is little change in the sleeves
the favorite still being the bishop.
The bordered materials are among the
pretty novelties. Embroidered borders
come in all degrees of width and gor-
geousness. One band usually goes
down the front and two more, which
end in points at yoke depth, may be
added each side. With two or three
tucks between strips a beautiful effect
is achieved. The strips also form the
stock and wrist bands.
