In some respects Delaware has had
a history of which she may well be
proud. Without Read, Rodney and
Mexican the Declaration would prob
ably never have been promulgated. Her
troops during the Revolution did splen-
did service. fighting by day and keeping
up the spirits Of the army by night. II
was on her soil that the flag of our
country was first unfuried in battle;
and when a Constitution was framed
giving us a guarantee OF national life,
she was the first TO ratify It. For a
century her voice was potent in decld-
ing all national affairs. She had her
Clayton, a great nationa. figure; her
Bayards, forceful and influential; her
Gray and her Higgins. Now she has a
great number of citizens whose ideals
are no higher than TO wish her repre-
sented by such men as Kenney, Sauis-
bury or Addicks. Are we growing de,

Town Club Is Harvesting

There is unique club in the suburbs
OF this city, known as the Riverside
Tower Club. and the manner in which
the funds Of the organization are sup
piled is worth relating.
The membership OF the order num-
bers twelve, one a Yale student, and
all are sons Of prominent men.
In early summer a plot of ground,
owned by the father of one of the
young men, was converted into truck
patch. All kinds of vegetables were
planted. and the young men took turns
in working the place during the cool
hours OF evening. The harvest is now
on. and friends, relatives. and, in fact
all nearby families are being supplied
with garden truck.
1t is an amusing sight TO see the
members seated in a coach with a
negro driver in front, going the round:
and supplying their customers. The
'cullid gentleman" does the delivering
and the clubmen take the funds.
There is a tower on the home o
one of the members. and the clubmeI

Hundreds Of Applications Have
Already Reached the
President.
BIG LIST OF new OFFICERS
Fourteen Brigadier Commissions Is
One Item-Discussing Miles,
Otis and Brooke for Rank
of Lieutenant General.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. Feb. "A Washington special
to the Commercial Advertiser says:
Hundreds of applications have been re-
ceived at the White House for appointment
to the regular army under the ~reorganiza-
ton bill which has just been laid before
the President.
Under this bill he will have to commits
sion one Lieutenant General, four Major
Generals. nine Brigadier Generals, $50 stan
officers and 2,s22 line officers.
The struggle for appointment as Iieuten-
ant General has attracted general atten-
ton. Ii was the intention of Congress that
this appointment should go to General
Miles. but there IS great pressure for the
appointment of OTIS or Brooke. The War
Department influences are opposed to Miles
and favorable to the appointment OF the
other two in order OF their retirement from
service on account of age.
President McKinley's personal inclina-
lions are understood to be in line with
those of the department. He has suggested
an arrangement by which Otis and Brooke
shall be appointed and retired, SO that
Miles may then receive his appointment,
which would give him an opportunity to
serve for a year or over as Lieutenant
General. before he is retired on account OF
age.
1t is easy to understand that Miles and
his friends are now enamored of this prop
osition.
In accordance with the special provis-
ions of the bill. Fftzhugh Lee and James
H. Wilson. now serving as volunteer OIL
GERS, will be nominated as Brigadiers In
the regular army. and then retired.
The four new Major Generals VIII DO
Wade. Merriam. Young and Macarthur.
The President will have fourteen new
commissions to issue to Brigadier Generals:
There is a vacancy in the grade caused
by the promotion and retirement OF Briga..
der General Freeman. and four others VIII
be created by the promotion OF Wade, kler-
Ram. Young and Macarthur. while here
are nine appointments under the new bill.
This will give an opportunity for the
to recognize the services OF sew
erai meritorious officers. among them
Shwann, Arnold, Bates. Wheaton. Chafee
and Wood. who now hold their advanced
rank by virtue Of commissions in the vol
unteer service.

ST. LOUIS WOMAN
KNEW The QUEEN,
Widow Of British Officer Tells Of
Her Informal Meetings
With Victoria.

Mrs. Jane Hogan of No. 2s0l Lucas ave-
nue. Is n Of the few persons in st. Louis
who can claim the honor Of having seen
and oonversed with the late Queen Of Eng
land without going through the Formally
Of a presentation at court.
Mrs. Hogan Is the widow Of Thomas Ho-
gan. VINO for many years was a commissary
officer In the British Army. and it was
while he was serving In this capacity at
Aldershot. the famous military barracks
near London, that his wife had SO many
opportunities Of seeing the kindly nature
of Victoria manifest itself. In relating one
instance Of this. Mrs. Hogan said:
A the outbreak Of the Sepoy mutiny, in
1855. troops were assembled at Aldershot
before embarking for India. The men were
CHARTERED in tents. with only piles Of straw
for beds. and practically no provision was
made for their convenience or comfort. One
damp morning 1 noticed a lady with a
plaid shawl thrown over her shoulders ard
her skirt pinned about her going the
rounds of the barracks and looking into tie
mems quarters. After inspecting the in
terror Of several tents she summoned the
Colonel in command When he came he at
once recognized the Queen. and ordered the
buglers to u the royal salute. This her
Majesty forbade. n quietly departed. 1
had no idea. until later. that this plainly
clad lady was the ruler Of England. In q
few days the men were provided with COM
Portable cots and stoves On which to cook
their food.
Another time I was standing at the door
Of our quarters. when the Queen drew near.
She was quite unattended. and stcpued to
admire some geraniums which were grow
ing In pots placed OF a bench Just beside
the tent. She stopped to inhale the fra
er I was fond of flowers. After q few moro
questions touching my liking for army life,
she went ON her way"
Mrs Hogan also related how on one &C.
casion the Queen was driving through the
barracks in company with her chill iren-
when a football was accidentally kicked
into the royal carriage. Her Majesty aston
ished everybody by rising from her seat
and tossing the ball back to the players.
Mrs. Hogan occupied rooms in the ia
nous Tower Of London while her husband
was absent in the Crtmean War. While
there Victoria and Prime Albert visited
the tower. Having seen the block upon
which Mary, Queen Of Scots. was behead-
cd, and numerous others OF the ghsstly
mementos with which the place abounds:
her Majesty caught the Princes arm ard
drew him away, with The remark II have

is a sieter-in-law Of John Hogan. now

Afterwards served In Congress-. Her daugh-

A { 2 o'clock in the afternoon two young

One of them asked to be shown a pair Of
