MAN OF EXPERIENCE.
Capt. Lemly, Judge Advocate Of
schley Court Of Inquiry.
HAS Had More to DO with the Pros.e-
cution of Naval Law Cases Than
Any other Omccr In the
Service.

Capt. Lemly is particularly well
fitsed for the exacting duties Of
judge advocate. lie is now serving
his third term as judge advocate
general. He is civil as well as a
maritime lawyer. So far as known
he has never expressed an opinion as
to the merits of eitker Rear Admire
Sampson or Rear Admiral 6cnlsy. Il
served with Schley in the Essex ot
the South Atlantic station, and was
watch officer on board the Thetis
commanded by. Capt. Schley, which
with the Bear, formed the Greely
relief expeditions.
Capt. Lemly says he would feel
hurt TO have it intmated that he has
any personal feeling whatever in the
controversy. In all the time he has
been at the head of the legal depart
ment of the navy, his service dating
back to 1892, lie has, fortunately Devef
had occasion to pass upon, any ques-
tion that involved either Sampson OF
Schlcy in any personal aspect. lie
has known both-Schley better than
Sampson, perhaps. He was one Of
schley's personal friends when he
Oemly) was in active line service
Indeed, he accompanied Schley on
the famous Greedy relief expedition
and he rendered valuable service tc
Schley on that occasion, which the
senior officer recognized. On tbs
other hand. Capt. Lemly has knowr
Sampson officially in the navy de-
partment when the admiral was al
the head of the ordnance bureau
and they were thus thrown into Gloss
contact in business point of view
at least for several years.
Capt. Lemly had already arranged
to depart from Washington on hi'
annual leave on trip through Cana
da some time in August. He will ar
range TO leave on later date now

A CURIOUS pHENoMENoN.
Chalk Rocks Cut Up Strange Capsrs IL
French Alps.

A curious phenomenon was OBJ
served at the village of lie Ghazil, in
the French Alps, recently. One day
toward evening the inhabitants were
disturbed by loud rumbling in the
vicinity of Mont Farand, which in.
creased in intensity. Looking toward
the scene of the disturbance, the vii.
layers were further startled by seeing
bright flashes of fire. AT first the un-
usual spectacle was attributed to vol.
canic agencies, and party of civil en-
gineers set out to examine the cause
Of the phenomenon. They discov-
cred that the intense dry heat had
caused the chalk rocks on the summit
of thN mountain to crack and to break
away in all directions. These rocks
had descended the mountain like an
avalanche, and being thickly veined
with silex in descending they had
struck one another with terrific force,
'cattering brilliant showers of sparks
in all directions, with such rapidity
that they resembled one single sheet

FEWER BIBLES IN HOTELS.
Copies Once Found Generally in Bureau
Drawers Now DISAPPEARING.

Drawers Now Disappearing
''For the past six months 1 have
been trying to figure out utaquestionin
morals" said a man of experience to
a New York Sun reporter "Some
body is on the down grade. Either
the proprietors of hotels throughout
the country are becoming demoral-
lied or their patrons have slipped a
cog, and lam trying to find outwhieh
lit is.
'I've been travelling good part of
the time for the past 30 years, and up
to two years ago l seldom put up at a
hotel where ! did not find Bible
tucked away in the bureau drawer
But now the Bibles are missing. l
never knew, until the little books be-
came an unknown quantity, how
much | had come TO depend upon
them as familiar figure in the ever
changing hotel life Of man on the
road.
81 don't take to myself the credit
of having read the Book whenever l
might and should haver read indeed,
/ fear that there are many weeks at a
stretch when Inever looked inside OF
! it. but somehow it gave me a sort OF
thome-Hke. comfortable feeling TO see
a copy lying around in a strange
house, and for years my first action,
upon being shown into a room, was to
open the top drawer and see if the
Bible was in place. If it was there,
and it usually was, l felt kind of set
tied for the night; otherwise, | was
lonesome and out Of sorts.
"These Bibles were provided in dit-
ferent ways. In some places they
were furnished by the Tract societtyv:s
which had obtained permission from
the proprietor to place Bible in each
room Of his hotel, but in other places
the management took the initiative
as a stroke of business policy, and saw
to it that the books were distributed
throughout the house

Bible.
"Since then the Bibles have gradu-
ally made their exit from the hotels
of other towns, both large and small.
| have asked a good many people the
cause Of their absence, but nobody
seems equal to the job of explaining.
Have the hotel managers and the
tract society grown careless, or do
they think that men who travel are
past redemption and that putting
Bibles in their rooms is polite and
up-to-date way Of casting pearls be-

Death of Ex-Governor Hubbard

Ex-Governor Richard B. Hub
bard died at his home in Tyler,
Texas, after an illness of one
month, aged 81 years. In the
death OF II. b. Hubbard, the state
has lost one CT Its foremost men
and democracy its ablest exponent,
Born III Georgia he came to Texas
in 1852 and has ever since guarded
the interests of his adopted state.
At the breaking out OF the civil war
he early cast his fortunes with the
contederacy, raised IL regiment and
mmauded it until the close OF
the war. During the troublesome
days OF reconstruction he WAS ever
t. be found in the front ranks
battling for the rights of the peo-
pie. He was on the ticket with
Governor Coke when that brave
and fearless leader marched up To
the state house at Austin, kicked
open the door and took possession
and rescued the state from the last
ve.tige of carpet bag rule. All
honor to the memory Of Richard
B. Hubbard; would there were
more men like him in the democra
tic councils of today.
