in PLACE OF HOWISON
REAR ADMIRAL RAMSAY THE THIRD
MEMBER OF THE NAVAL COURT.
SchIey Unwilling to Say whether tho
New AppOintee Is Acceptable to
Himself and Counsel.

WASHINGTON, Sept 13.-Admiral Dewey
informed Admiral Schley by telephone to-
day that the court of inquiry will resume
its sessions at IL o'clock on Monday morn
ing next. The third member of the court,
who Will fill the place vacated by Rear Adj
miral Howisor. has been selected. 1t is
Admiral Ramsay, at one time chief of the
Bureau OF Navigation. 1t is understood, of
course. that Admiral Dewey's order as
sembling the court on Monday next is con-
tingent upon the Presidents condition.
Admiral Ramsay is the immediate prede-
cessor Of Admiral Crowninshield as chief
of the Navigation Bureau of the Navy De-
partment. He was appointed from Penn
sylvania TO the Naval Academy as mid
shipman in 1850 and his record in the civil
war is full OF engagements with the enemy
on the lower Mississippi and YazOo rivers
and around Fort Fisher and Richmond on
the Atlantic coast. He is siXtysix years
old. 1t is impossible now to predict as to
his acCeptability TO Admiral Schley as a
member of the court. The admiral did not
care to commit himself this afternoon but
referred all inquirers to his counsel and as
the latter are absent from Washington
their views cannot b. obtained here.

Golfer Travis Defeats Douglas.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. Sept. BIN the
semi-final round Of the amateur champion
ship golf tournament at Mortified Cham
pion Walter J. Travis to-day defeated for
mer Champion Findlay s. Douglas, and to-
morrow Travis will play Walter Egan. Of
Chicago, for the championship. Egan ad-
ministered a crushing defeat to C. H. Seely.
of New York, in the other semi-final match
Douglas fought his rival all the way over
the course. The pair were so evenly
matched that two extra holes were neces-
sary to decide the contest. Both men were
off their game. Their putting was wretched
and their driving, except occasional
strike here and there, was not of the best.
Seely's disastrous defeat was a great sur
prise. He played very poorly, while Egan
was at the top of his game. The latter was
seven up at the end of the morning play
and won by eleven up and ten to play in the
afternoon. Egan, compared with Travis,
played a better game than the latter. Egan
only played 20 holes. which he negotiated in
lis strokes. 1t took Travis III to cover the
same distance.

THE WESTERN TOWN.
The Tendency Now Is to Improve and
DeaGtify 1t.
Correspondence New York Post.

Correspondence New York Post.
The problem of the Western town now is
TO make amends for the past and 20 build
up a substantial and permanent prosperity
that shall make values steady and the
future assured. A few years ago the rivalry
was for surplus, now 1t is for a mere
sufflciency. In the early days were started
too many lodges, too many churches, too
many stores, too many newSpa pers. Now it
is not difficult. and indeed it is common, for
the merchants to agree TO support only two
or three papers to town of three thousand
population or more, where formerly there
were five or six. The problem of church
consolidation is receiving attention. With
the access of prosperity there has come
seemingly a greater liberality, and people
are willing TO lay aside some measure of
feeling for better material conditions in
their church belongings. The greed for ter
ritory has been succeeded by a sentiment
in favor of the best available management
of the small town site. New paint, new
walks, better drainage parks, and pretty
lawns are the things the Western towns
consider-not the voting of bonds or the eX-
tension of the city limits.
New buildings are seen, new porches and
better. stores, but there remains crying
need for architects. The country carpenter
Is furnishing the models and advising as to
the construction of the homes and stores in
thousands of Western towns with the re-
suit that so many homogeneous combina-
tons are seen as to mar the good effect OF
the ones wherein good taste and art are
combined. Just a hint of showiness and the
earish display of new riches crops out in
the expression of the prosperity that has
come to the West in these later days 1t is
not so offensive as in the days of the
BOOM" but il still is marked enough to
SAVIOR of a land that is unaccustomed to
freedom from anxiety.
The identifying of the villages is becom-
ing q part of the Western peoples life The
early corners laid out parks, and then. when
the land became valuable, cut them up into
city lots. The towns of to-day are LAYING
out parks and preparing to make them
beautiful and permanent breathing places
for the residents Of the community. Prizes
are offered by city councils for the best
lawns; cannas are taking the place of sun
flowers, and ciematis is succeeding the
Western wild ivy. 1t is all part of a de-
velopment that is changing the conditions
is making the sentiment of building
stronger.
