The young men who are studyin

The young men who are studying military science at West Point have
 come to see themselves COMMON as others see them. The SENSE AT motive with which the WEST upper ciassmen have POINT practiced hazing upon
 the under ciassmen was a good one. IL was u method of turn ing raw boys into disciplined members of a very responsible branch of the public service. The purpose of 1t all was to maintain the spirit Of the in- sthutlon." and thus to perpetuats the spirit of the service.
 But when you bring young men and a serious sense of responsibility to- gether you are bound to have excessive and wholly disproportionate results. 1Nhis is the main vice of the hazing op- eratlons at West Point. It was an un- pleasant-but in no sense disastrous or discouraging-case of overdone. The cadets themselves were probably sur prlsed to find how far they had car rled the practice. wh:n the whole business was discussed for weeks, and so brought into shape to be seen in the altogether. the picture was very dis agreeable. About the only attractive colors In 1t were the two or three in- stances where an under classman had had the pluck and the ability to knock out all comers from the ranks of the older and supervisory reu.
 The effect upon the cadets of seeing this picture was precisely what might have been expected. They did not like 1t any more than other people they did not wish to be brutal or cruel any more thnn the Hon. Mir. Money of Mis- ssslppi or the Hon. MT. Driggs of Brooklyn--aad so voluntarily and with out the knowledge of the West Point authorities. they have entered into compact among themselves to drop the whole system os disciplinary exercises,

ROOT HAS A SCHEME.
Contemplates Improvements in
Schools for Private Soldiers.
Secretary of War Hopes 20 Have
About n Million Dollars for Pre-
pairing of Grounds for Extcn-
sive Mnneuvcrs of the Army.

Secretary Root, Gen. Gillespie, chief
of engineers OF the army, and Cen Ran
dolph, chief of the artillery corps, have
completed arrangements for an inspec-
tion of the army posts and military
schools at Fort Leavenworth and Fort
Riley, Kan. This inspection is prepar-
atory to putting into ope ration num-
Der of proposed changes in the military
schools of instruction at those posts
and with view to acquiring informa-
tion which will assist the secretary of
war In the formal tion of a plan for the
establishment of q national army war
college.
AS outlined in the secretary's report
to congress, it is proposed to secure
q large tract of land where regular
troops and the militia organizations
can be modified and given practical
military instruction The infantry and
cavalry school at Fort Leavenworth
has grown to enormous proportions
since its establisme nj 90 years ago, and
has now developed into one of the
greatest of military institutions. 1t is
recognized in the army as a post grad
uate school for the officers who have
left West Point, and its course of in
struction is designed almost entirely
for officers of the army.
At Fort Riley there is a cavalry and
artillery school, the course of instruc-
ton of which provides for the training
of the enlisted men aswell as the Off
GERS, and at the same time gives prac-
teal instruction in the combined
maneuvers of cavalry and light artil
lery.
Secretary Roots scheme contem-
plates the expenditure of nearly ST.
100000 in the Improvement of these
posts, which aggre gate an area of near
ly $4,000 acres of land, and are located
but a little over 100 miles apart. 1t is
contemplated, if proper facilities can
be provided, to quarter several thou
sand soldiers at these posts and to have
annual maneuvers similar TO those of
France and Germany, combining the
operations OF infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery, and bringing into operation
every feature of field service known to
actual warfare.
1t is also proposed to include in the
operations of the regular army troops
in these maneuvers the instruction of
militia organizations of as many states
as can be provided for, thereby estab-
fishing a great national drill ground
for the soldiery of the country.

YOUTHFUL HEROINES
Indiana Girls Wave Their Sunbon-
nets and Avert a Wreck.
Their Quick wits Save n Fast Train
from Destruction in CuIvert,
the TrcstIe over which
Had Deen Durned.

Edna Keencr, aged 10, and Emma
Turnbaugh, aged Ia, gallant little
heroines in calico dresses and sunbon-
express train from dashing into
ditch, with what must have been the
attending heavy loss of life.
The girls are daughters of farmers
living near Anoka, four miles east of
Logansport, Ind. The other after
noon they were gathering flowers in the
fields along the railroad tracks, when
short distance south of Anoka juno
ton, where the Louisville and Rich
mond divisions of the road join the Lo-
gansport division for Loganspdrt, they
noticed that trestle over small
creek was on fire, the smoldering en-
bers not giving enough smoke to make
a warning>to an approaching train.
Immediately realizing the danger
and hearing train coming, which they
thought to be the fast Louisville eX-
press, due at about that hour, they
hurried down the track as fast as they
could run, waving their sunbonnets.
On they sped, thinking only of the
coming train, until at last just before
it rounded curve in the road, the en-
gineer saw the waving bonnets of the
little girls and at once applied the air,
bringing his train to a stop almost at
the edge of the burned trestle. The
train proved to be the fast freight No.
1GT, in charge of Conductor Hanley.
As soon as the crew realized what
the little girls had done and the wreck
from which they had saved them, they
gathered them up in their arms and
many good hearty hug the'little ones
got for their reward, besides all the
loose change the train crew could gath
cr together, making snug little purse
for the girls to carry home with them.
The matter was reported to the di
vision officials, and the brave heroines
will be substantially rewarded for the
act by the company.

duel.
Fought by an American and
aGernan.

BY Associated Press.
Duluth, Mimi, July 31.-Word has
been received her that Adolph Hart
man, son of Emil Hartman, of this
city, has just fought u duel with
swords with Lieut. Pachmanns Of the
German army.
It"was bloody encounter in which
the Lieutenant received q number of
severe wounds, one of which severed
the jugular vein. Hartmann was also
seriously wounded.
Hartmann graduated from the Du-
luth High School in 1889, and went TO
Achen, Germany to take course in
mining engineering At "Commers,'
which was attended by students, ar
my officers and others, Hartmann and
Lieut.. Pachmann became involved in
a quarrel, which resulted in the young
Duluthian slapping the face of the mil
itary man. A challenge followed.
AS young Hartmann was unfamiliar
with the sword, he was allowed six
months in which to train" for the en-
counter. At the end of that time the
contestants met and the duel began.
Although both weakened from the
loss of blood, the fight continued un-
til the nineteenth round, when the
Lieutenant was wounded in the throat,
the sword severing his jugular vein.
The American was then adjudged the
victor.
Prompt attention by surgeons saved
the officers life.

According to the state department
advices the German consul at Sydney
reports that the agricultural depart
ment of Victoria has recently made
experiments with reference to the
preservation of fresh fruits. Pears
and peaches packed in the ordinary
boxes for shipment We're subjected to
the vapors of hydrocyanic gas. The
fruits were then taken out of the box
es and separately wrapped in tissue
paper. Some of them were again
treated with the gas, and the whole lot
was placed in a dry room at tenn
perature of 40 degrees, and kept there
for seven weeks. When the fruits
were taken out they were in an excel
lent state of preservation, especial
ly those that had been treated with the
gas a second time. Not only the pears
but the peaches, felt hard to the
touch, retained their fresh appear
ance, and showed no decayed spot, as
the germs had all been killed by the
gas.

PLANS COMPOUND TURBINE.
Lieut.. Grnydon. Formerly of United
States Navy. Invcnta New und
Powerful Engine.

Lieut.. James Weir Graydon. for
merly of the America navy, who built
the London and Paris Ferris wheels,
the other day placed on view an in
ventton which promises to revolution
ize the worlds shipping. The inyen-
tiOn is compound steam turbine
bearing the same relation to the tur-
bine invented by Charles A. Parsons
in Glasgow that a compound engine
does to Il single one. Graydon's tur-
bine uses steam under IS different
pressures within a single cylinder the
size of n nail keg. The model eXhib-
tied generates 25 horsepower and
makes 5000 revolutions minute al
most without vibration, as the power
is applied directly to the shaft.
The turbine uses but one-third of
the amount of steam required to run
an ordinary engine and about nne-half
the amount required by Parsons tur-
bine. Andrew Carnegie is organizing
a company with capital of $4 900, ,OOO
to apply this power to steamships,
which, it is believed, will cross the At
lantic in three days. The works will
probably be established on the Della
ware river, near Philadelphia. Her
bert Greig, Andrew Carnegie's agent
in London, confirms Graydpn's state
ment regarding the invention. Gray
don also intends to apply the inyen-
ton to submarine boats and with a
gas generator to automobiles.

COUNTESS AS A HOUSE AGENT.
Lady ESSEX, Formerly Miss Grant of
New York, Establishes Paying
Occupation in London.

English society is extending its
sympathy to the countess of Essex,
who, before her marriage, was Miss
Adele Grant, of New York. Lady Es-
sex has lost nearly all her fortune
and her husband has lost nearly all
his. But with pluck and enterprise,
that are always TO be found in an
American girl, she has set to work to
earn her living.
Lady Essex is meeting with &, good
deal of success in line wholly new
in London-that of furnishing and re-
renting apartments. Paragraphs APP
pear in society journals describing
and praising the art and beauty of
her apartment. Then she let's it at a
high figure to people who like to basll
in an atmosphere created by a mem
Der of the nobility. Lady Essex has
made quite a snug sum in the last
year by this means, and has furnished
and leased number of apartments
at fancy figures.
When new in the business some OF
the furnishers and upholstercrs de-
scended upon the apartments and
seized the effects, but this was en-
tirely due to Lady EsseX's ineXperi-
ence and to the fact that she kept nc
memoranda of when payments were
due.
Another method by which Lady Es.
sex keeps the pot a-boiling is by
chaperoning paying guests" in so
ciatu
