New York, Jan. 22--Judge Lacombe in
the United States circuit court signed an
order vacating the order of arrest in the
civil suit against C.. f. w. Medley, under
which he was held in $4,000 bail. The
motion Was made by John Lindsay, counsel
for Medley, and United States Attorney
Burnett. Later they appeared before
United States Commissioner Shields and
moved for dismissal of the case before
him on the charge of stealing of postoffice
funds. He WAS arrested on this charge in
May last. Neeley deposited $4,000 cash
bail with the clerk OF the court and was
released. The money is still held by the
clerk, but it has been attached on behalf
of the government. Medley is now in Lud-

MucArthur Replies.

Manila, Jan. 20.-Adiutant General,
Washington--With reference to your tele-
gram, drunkenness in this army is no more
noticeable here than in garisons in the
United States. Considering the whole force
rs unit, it practically is much less. In
Manila drunken men are very noticeable.
The effect of one drunkard in a public
place creates an impression among citizens
of extensive disorders throughout the
whole force, which is not the case. The
army Is in splendid condition and in high
state OF efficiency and doing the hardest
kind of service i'll a most faithful and in
spring manner. Houses of prostitution
are not licensed, protected or encouraged.

The Catch About Ii.

The business of fire insurance seems
to have been good deal of a mystery
to the middle-aged Englishwoman who,
according to the Leeds Mercury, called
ut an agents office and said that she
wished to insure her house.
For how much?' asked the agent.
"Oh. for about f200."
Every well. I'll come up and inyes-
tigate it,"

ance." she said.
It's very simple, ma'am.'
IF I'm insured for 5000 and the
house is burned down, l get the mon
ey, do I?'
Certainly"
And they don't ask who set it afire?"
"Oh, but they do. We shall want to
know all about it,"
"Then you needn't come up" she
said, as she rose to go. Il heard there
was some catch about it somewhere,
and now | see where it Is"

The work of the bureau is little un-

Growth of Population in Germany.

Growth of Population in Germany.
The growth of Germany since the
war with France is the most remark
able phenomenon of modern Europe
Since the treaty of peace was signed
in 1871 Germany has not extended her
territory 10y a single acre on the conti-
nent Of Europe Gf we except the acqui-
sition of Heligolandl, but she has in.
creased her population by 100000.
The Germans numbered 100000 in
1871; they number 56,000,OO0 now, and
yet, although there are so many more
mouths to feed, the Germans are better
fed, better clothed, and in every way
more prosperous than they were then.
This is attributed largely to the fact
that for twenty years Germany de
voted herself to improving the ele
mentary education of her people.
