Every Age Has Had Its mi Adj
vocates of Masculine Attire.
The case of Murray Hall, the woman
who so long deceived New York in re-
gard to her sex, is by no means with
out parallel. About a yea ago Ell
lis Glenn" who had fed from debts
and an engagement to Ella Duke, OF
Litchfield, H., confessed when arrested
to being a woman, and yet she had
lived for some time in a small town,
doing a mans work and awakening no
suspicion whatever. There are many
tales of women who served as soldiers,
and one of these, thoroughly authenti-
Gated. was reported only a short time
ago from the Philippines. One Mag
gle Briggs, a trapeze performer, work
ed as an expert telegraph linesman,
and otto Schaffer," a Kansas hermit
and soldier, turned out to be a woman,
though given, nevertheless, a military
funeral. History furnishes numberless
examples from ancient times to the
more modern instances noted by Kraft
Ebbing.
Perhaps the most famous case of
this kind is that of the Countess" Sar-
olta Way, ten years ago. The child of
an Austrian colonel, with a large fam

look for these cases. Private Jorgen-
sen served for twenty years in the Vic

Losses" we note examples as follows:
Charles d. Fuller. Forty-sixth Penn
sylyania, detected and discharged:
Sergeant Frank Mayne, One Hundred
and Twenty-Sixth Pennsylvania, de-
serted and subsequently killed in bat
tie in another regiment: Franklin
Thompson, Second Michigan, detected:

Carolina, detected. Most Of these wo-
men served, before being discharged,
with unusual bravery, and their cases
almost parallel that of Christian Cav

land, was wounded at Families and
then remained with the regiment as a

AS TO OUR

1t has been charged in Congress that
the administration is unduly assisting
the British in their war on the South
African Republics by permitting Brit
ish army officers to buy and ship from
our ports horses and mules for the
British army in South Africa. Here is
the provision Of our neutrality treaty
with Great Britain covering the SUBJ
ject:
A neutral government is bound not to
permit or suffer either belligerent to make
use of its ports or waters as the base of
naval operations against the other. or
for the purpose of THE RENEWAL OR
AUGMENTATION OF MILITARY
SUPPLIES or arms, or the recruitment Of
men.
1t is pointed out that the Washing
ton authorities were very careful be-
fore our war with Spain in preventing
such aid from being sent from this
country to the Cubans. Yet it is a
fact that about 100, 900 horses and
mules have been shipped from New
Orleans for the British army in South
Africa without protest, although the
Beers have indicated their belliger-
ency and we have recognized their
status by sending our consular agent
to n Of their capitals.
May not the precedent we are estab-
lis>ing rise up to plague us in the fu-
ture?

THE reason I have taken a hand in

with our church is that | want to see the

church and makes better boys out of them.

CHRIST SPEAKETH STILL.

For the Register.
All stfH the VOICE of Jesus Christ
Speaks to His children here:
II We but list, with soul intent,
His message still to hear.
He speaketh through the inner voice,
Where conscience holds the key,
And il We will obey Ills will,
Disciples we nay be.
He ne'er forsakes us in our trials,
If we on Him depend.
He'll reach to us a helping hand,
And consolation lend.
Then, why should man grope in the dark
With unbelieving thought,
When by a little faith and trust,
Christ's messages are taught.
