Less than one hundred dollars, spent
by the Improvement League Of Mont
clair, New Jersey, has done more to
cleanse and beautify the place, says
the town council, than the thousands
of dollars the town has expended in
conventional ways. The league began
by offering prizes for clean and orderly
back yards and alleys, and went on to
give prizes for the best vine-covered
fence, the finest vegetable plot and the
most beautiful towering plant. Then
it organized the children to pick up
waste paper from the streets, keep the
school yards neat, and tidy up the
vacant lots. In six months Montclair
became a noticeably attractive place,
and a wholesome one, too, for the
death rate had perceptibly lessened.
Like methods will yield similar results
in any other town, and it will not be
necessary to spend much money pro-
vided few people are willing to use
inspired common sense"

Havana, Oct. 5. Demonstrations

At these demonstrations the annex

opinion was generally expressed yes,

persons took part in the demonstra-

In many OF the western and Midland
counties of England the nineteenth
century closed with the most terrible
floods within living memory. Happily
few lives were lost, but hundreds Of
folk-mostly poor-were washed out Of
hearth and home. Farmers, small and
great, lost cattle, sheep and poultry,
and immense damage was done to all
kinds of property. One comic incident
was remarked at Alcester in Worces-
tershire. When the water fell the rec
tor took his walks abroad to see what
loss he had suffered. As he passed
through an orchard he was greeted
with the piercing squeals of per-
picked pig, which had got mixed UP in
the boughs OF damson tree. Probably
it had been borne into the branches by
the rising food. When the waters
went down it was left high. and pos
sibly dry, but terrified out of its wits.

ARTICLE SCORING scnLEY
Admitted ns Evidence Despite 8
4 Warm Protest.

Washington, Oct. 81 Il protest
against the records Of this court being
stained with calumnies against Ad-
miral Schley," exclaimed Counsel Ray
ner Saturday as he began enlargement
in the court of inquiry against admit
ting as evidence an editorial published
by an Eastern newspa per, in which the
rear admiral was criticised harsfly.
This incident developed during the
reading Of the correspondence relating
to the controversy between Rear Adj
miral Schley and Lieut.. Hodgson.
Almost the entire day was devoted to
reading this correspondence and every
thing went smoothly until Judge Ad-
vocate Lenly started to read the edi-
Storial in question. Mr.. Rayner object
ed on the ground that Schley had not
read it, that 1t did not relate Sto the.
correspondence, and that, If 1t was adj,
mitted, other matter of a similar char.
actef. would be brought In and the in
quiry would never end.
After listening to the arguments the
court retired for consultation. Upon
returning to the courtroom Admiral
Dewey announced that such newspaper
articles as related to the controversy
and which had been Enclosed in the
correspondence would be accepted as
evidence.
These papers are quite voluminous,
and when the court adjourned Judge
Advocate Lemly had not completed
the task. 5sgE
Capt. Lemly produced what he
termed the original OF the Dear
Schley' letter" written by Sampson. In
this letter appeared the word "Santi-
ago." hich was rrianifestly mistake,
and, taken in connection with the text
OF the letter, evidently should have
been 'Sienfuegos.' This was the let
ter ordering Cchley to remain at Cien-
fuegos.
In the departments copy the word
was written "Sontiago." but this was,
written over an erasure. The word
which had been erased was ''Cianfue-
gos,' but 1t had not been scratched out
entirely.
The departments letter was identical
with the copy in the letter copybook.

There is misunderstanding between
Gen. Chaffee and the supreme court
their respective jurisdictions.
The question arose over an ex-soldier,
who while acting as military mes
senger, refused to perform his duties
and was deported. He was taken from
a transport on O writ of habeas corpus.
Gen. Chaffee claims to have power
equal to that of the supreme court, as
they are both acting under the war
power granted to the president, and
hence he did not require to concurrence
of the court to deport the man. The
question is important as it involves the
authority Of the military system.
