SECRETARY LONG APPROVES
VERDICT OF SCHLEY COURT
He Dismisses the Subject and Hopes
Not Listen to Sampson of SchIey
Aitorneys-Rnyner liz Quite Ind:g-
nant

Washington, Dee. 22.-Secretary Long
has disposed finally of the Schley case,
so far as the navy department ic con
cerned, by acting upon the findings AMI
conclusions of the court of inquiry. He
approves the findings of fact and the
opinion of the full court: he approves
the majority opinion where there is a
difference in the court: he holds that the
court could not have entered into consid-
Grafton of who commanded at Santiago,
and finally he accepted the recommended
ton that no further proceedings be Rad.
The secretary also has declined the an.
plication of Admiral Simpsons counsel to
enter upon an inquiry into the question
of command and has notified Admira!
Schley's counsel of hat fact as reason
for declining to hear them on that point.
Secretary Longs approval of the ma
jority report was as follows:
"The department has read the testi.
mony in this case, the arguments of
counsel at the trial, the courts findings
OF fact, opinion and recommendation; the
individual memorandum of the presiding
member, the statement of exceptions to
the said findings and opinion by the APP
plicant; the reply to said statement by
the judge advocate of the court and hi.
assistant, and the brief this day sub
mitted by counsel for Rear Admiral
Sampson traversing the presiding mem
bcrs view as to who was in command
at the battle of Santiago. And after care
full consideration the findings of fact and
the opinion of the full court are approved.
AS to the points on which the pre-.
siding officer differs from the majority
OF the court, the opinion of the majority
is approved.
AS to the further expressions if his
views by the same member with regard
to the questions of command on the morn
ing OF July 3, 1898, and of the title to
credit for the ensuing victory, the con-
duct of the court in making no finding
and rendering no opinion on those uues.
tons is approved; indeed it could with
proprety take no other course, evidence
on these questions during the inquiry
having been excluded by the court.
The department approves the recon-
mendation of the court that no further
proceedings be had in the premises.
The department records its appreca.
ton of the arduous labors of the whole
court. JOHN ID. LONG,

Wet Wedding Days Preferred,

The adage Happy is the bride that
the sun shines on" Is one that is un-
known in many lands. A Breton bride
takes it unhappily when the day of her
wedding dawns bright and sunny. Rain
on her marriage morn is held to sig
nifty that all her tears are shed and that
she will therefore have a happy mar
ried life.
1t is said that the Era of Simbrisk
call the day before the wedding the
weeping day. and the bride and her girl
friends weep as much as possible with
the idea Of getting the mourning Of life
over. so that only what Is Joyful may
remain. In some countries this result IL
attained by sousing the bride with wa.
ter. The Greeks think that a thorough
d%renching Of the bride will bring her
lasting good fortune.

Lemon Juice.

A little lemon juice in the water in
which fish Is boiled will make it desira-
bly, solid. the too frequent lack of a
boiled fish. Sweetbreads left for an
hour before cooking in a bath of rather
strong dilution of lemon juice are made
white and firm. A few drops Of lemon
juice are declared to add a delicious
flavor to scrambled eggs. But a quite
new use is in the preparation of rolled
beef. This requires a rib roast, with
the bones cut Out. The juice of a lem
on is squeezed over the meat, and the
skin of it rolled up in it. The result Is
a tender. juicy, aromatic meat, very
grateful to the palate. The Brazilian
beef is highly esteemed for its flavor,
and this is because the cattle pasture
where lemons are plentiful and eat
the fallen fruit, which favors their

Jackson and the Tailor's Bill,

O0CkoOn anu ShC AaAAOT'8 0aAAs
A gentleman in Pennsylvania has Q
queer document which came into his
family's possession many years ago
and shows an interesting phase of An
drew Jackson's character as. we'll as q
glimpse of the simple times Of his pres.
idential term.
1t appears that a clerk in the state
department contracted a tailor's bill for
$64.50, and the tailor, finding himself
unable to collect the amount. laid the
matter before the president in an ap-
pealing letter.
Jackson promptly decided that this
was a matter to which he must attend
personally. SO he transmitted the tai.
lor's letter to the secretary of state
with this strong recommendation:
Referred to the secretary Of state. II on inquiry
the fact stated be true, unless the clerk pays up
his debt let him be forthwith discharged.
The government would become q party to such
s~windling provided it permitted its officers to -
come indebted for necessaries and not zee tha1

DOGS.

There are nearly 200 distinct varieties
of dogs.
Foxllounds give cry, but deerhounds
hunt in silence.
The greyhound is the only dog which
hunts by sight.
A pure bred s%taghound never attacks
the head of his quarry.
Only in the temperate M is the dog
found perfect in courage and speed.
The Italian greyhound is reputed to
be the most symmetrical of all animals.
Skye terriers have been known to
jump into the river and land hooked
fish, which they take carefully by the
back.
Eskimo dogs are capable of drawing
a well laden sledge 60 miles in q day.
Their harness is of the lightest, only a
single trace and no reins.

Women Cannot Boss Each othe

Women Cannot Boss Each Other.
The old theory that woman is mans
helper seems incorrigibly well founded,
says E. s. Martin In McClure's Maya
zine. II the situation isn't satisfactory
to her, there is nc help for it, for the
conditions it came out Of seem to be
eternal. Women may vote. They will
be nom the less mans helpers If they
do. They never will band together to
put man down and teach him his place.
They will push him ahead II they can.
they will pull him along when they
must, they will influence him enor-
mously, as they always have done. but
they will never conspire together on
any very great scale to make him play
second fiddle. Some one has got to be
master. Women in general will never
agree to have women bosses SO long as
there are competent men for that use.

Kamr Banking.

b The Kafirs have a simple method of
banking. Before setting out to trade
they select one Of their number as
their banker and put all their money
in his bag. When In article is pur-
chased by any Of those who are in
this combine, the price is taken by the
banker from the bag, counted several
times and then paid to the seller, after
which all the bank .depositors cry out
to the banker in the presence of two
witnesses selected, "You owe me so
much" This is then repeated by the
witnesses. The general accounting
comes between the banker and his sew.
eral depositors when all the purchases
have been made, after which all the
natives go home.

BUTCHERS ARE IMMUNE
Meat Dealers, It IL Said, Never Die

Meat Dealers, It IL Said, Never Die
of Consumption.
butchers never die of consumption"
The q with his sleeves rolled up,
wie,o.ng the cleaver at the block, said
this as he threw a beefsteak on the
scale.
1t sounded more like a trade superstl-
ton than a fact. but so far as diligent
inquiry has been able to discover 1t is
true, although not generally known
outside Of the meat chopping craft.
Butchers are no longer lived than
men in other walks of life. They are
subject to all the other ills that human
flesh Is heir to. but consumption they
do not have. So far MS a reporter was
able to learn not a single case Is on
record of a butcher in this city being
afflicted with the incurable wasting Of
the lungs which claims its hundreds Of
thousands Of victims annually.
The fact is well known among butch
ers and has been often the subject Of
their comment, although none of them
can give a eason for it.
mo-" said a man who has swung
sidcsy and rounds in Washington mar
ket for the last 20 years; Il have had
rheumatism and typhoid fever and lots
of other things, but nothing has ever
been out Of gear with my lungs, AID
the same is true Of every other butcher
in this town. l know nearly all Of
them. and l never heard of one of them
having consumption. They don't drink
blood or take any especially good care
Of themselves either. l don't know
why 1t should be so unless it's because
the continual inhaling Of an atmos-
phere of fresh meat Is strengthening.
II have often thought when hearing
Of consumptives going to Colorado and
Egypt that l know of a climate nearer
home that would do the business just
as we'll. If they would stay in this stall
for awhile and swing meat, they would
get well quite as quickly as they would
