"THE SMART SET, FOR APRIL.

The April number Of The Smart Set is
crowded with articles and stories that
command public interest. The leading
novelette, is entitled 1.-The Tanning of Syl-
via,'' and is by Elizabeth Duer, who is
perhaps better known to Knickerbocker
society as Mrs. James G. King Duer.
This story gives the author a very high
place among the popular writer's of to-
day. 1t Is light, bright and charming,
and the somewhat difficult conversion of
the hoyden Sylvia, the granddaughter
Of "the General a millionaire gentle
man of the old school, into a proper
young lady of society and a matrimonial
subject, will be followed by the reader
with intense amusement. Bobbie, her
'side partner" objects strongly to what
he solemnly considers her ruin. You
know, Countess" he says, 81 can't ap-
prove Of it. When I had charge Of Syl
she was in first class condition. She
could skate all the morning and ride all
the afternoon without turning a hair;
but look at her now! How she has gone
off! You haven't felt her muscle lately
1 suppose? Why, I don't believe that If
she hit me now she could make me feel
it, and last month almost staggered, I
can tell you, when she planted a good
left-hander' -

long short story TN Palace Gardens y
that was awarded $3.50 In the recent prize
contest in this magazine. 1t is a story
of Americans in Florence, where Mrs
Cruger sojourned during the past year,
and is written with remarkable power.

w WASHINGTON, March 15.-The officers
OF the adJutant generals and quarter
masters departments are deVoting their
attention to the sending of regular
troops to the Philippines to replace the
volunteers brought home. The main
object of the officials is to prevent any
material decrease in Gen MacArthur's
army of $4,000 men. There are about
10000 regular troops in the Orient. includ-
ing those now in China. In order to keep
the strength up to 10000 it will be neees-
sary to provide about 10000 fresh troops
from the United States before the first
OF July. The transports Indiana Meade
and Pennsylvania will leave San Fran
cisco In day or two with battalions of
the Tenth infantry Fifth cavalry, also
battalions of five new regiments. Ar
engagements also have been made for the
departure of other vessels as follows:
The Buford, with capacity of 81 officers
and LOCO men, on the 25th instant; the
Hancock capacity, 54 officers and 1,O6O

regiments or of home battalions of regi-
ments serving in the West Indies or the
Philippines. Satisfactory progress is re-
ported in the transr ortation of the vo-un-
teer troops from the Philippines to San
Francisco. Several transports are now
at different stages of their voyage across
the Pacific, including the Logan, with
the Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth voiun-
teer infantries and the Garonne, with the
Twenty-siXth volunteer infantry Ac-
cording to the schedule so far as ar
ranged other vessels will leave Manila for
home as follows: The Thomas on the
18th inst, with the Twenty-eighth and
Thirty-fifth volunteer infantry; the Rose
Grams on the 18th, with the Thirty-ninth
and the Grant on the 18th inst, with the
Twenty-ninth and Thirty-second infan-
try. The transportation arrangements
at both ends of the line have not yet
been finally completed beyond the dates
mentioned. The officials of the war de-
partment are confident of their ability
to execute the plan of discharging the
entire volunteer army in the United
States before the 1st of July next with
out materially reducing the number and
effectiveness of the military forces in the

Mention has already been made that
the Western Passenger association has
granted exceptionally low rates for the
different conventions coming TO this city
in the months of May ana June, and the
ST. Paul representative to the associa-
>tion meeting held at ST. Louis, who re-
turned yesterday, says that there is no
doubt that there viii be thousands Of
visitors in St. Paul who VIII have no Of
fetal connection with any of the gather
ings.
The rate decided upon is single fare
plus s.. which is as low as has been
granted for convention purposes in the
last two years. This rate is settled SO
far as the Western Passenger associa-
ton is concerned and all that now re-
mains to be done is for the Central as
soclation to confirm it throughout its
own jurisdiction.
1t is estimated that at least 1870 GOO per-
sons viii be brought to this city in con-
neciion with the conventions alone and
probably half as many more viii take
advantage of the cheap fares to pay the
Twin Cities a visit. The rate to the Ep-
worth League convention to San Fran
cisco is lower than that decided upon for
the gatherings to be held here. This is
because the distance involved is so great
that the question of the railway fare
alone is a matter Of Importance to many
who would like to attend. From ST Faul
or Chicago the rate to the coast city has
been fixed at $50, which is less than
second class single fare. $3.50.
With the railroads co operating with
the citizens committee in helping to
bring to st. Paul as many persons as
possible during the coming summer, the
merchants and hotel men OF this city
are assured of a bounriful harvest and
an exceptionally prosperous season.

After his story was verified to the
satisfaction of the officer in command
of the post, the garrison was placed

Trooper Harry's remarkable perform

first lieutenant and assigned to
duty at an Eastern post to
conduct experiments in the utilization of
the bicycle in military operations. He
was later retired on full pay IN recogni-

to relate the story of the massacre and

going West, as he says, he was an en-
thusiastic wheelman, and to that he
owed his good health then the wheel
saved his life, and ali his later success is
