Was Booz retiring in nature?
asked Mr.. Dick.
Certainly. very retiring: he was a
lower classman," answered the wit
ness.
Mr.. Dick also brought out that the
alternatives presented 10 an offending

ing, fight or he cut by the corps. The
witness said he did not know Booz

Washington, Jan. 23.-Thc congress
sioral committee which is Investigate
ing the hazing of Cadet BOoz resumed
the taking Of testimony today for the
purpose of clearing up some remaining
points. Former Cadet Rowland r.
sheldon was examined at considerable
length.
He entered West Point in June, 1896,
and remained three and one half years
In the summer of 1897 he was drill
master, and then met Booz, who was
q new cadet. Booz was afterward al
loted to him as special duty man.
according to u custom. When asked
whether the academy rules did not for
bid this service. the witness said he
had never required any menial service
of Booz or anything to demean him.
Sheldon said he did rot believe in such
services and did not require II. At
most, Booz had been required TO set
out refreshments at a tent spread.
Booz did not look strong or we'll He
lacked vitality. and seldom looked one
In the eye.
Were lower class men allowed to
look upper class men in the eye?"
1T was n CUSTOM" said the witness,
"for upper class men not to 2ermit
lower class men to look them in the
face, but ] considered this absurd and
never observed it,
He recalled nothing of the hazing or
Booz. of his fight or his taking tobasco
sauce. The witness did not retain Booz
as special service man" very long.
He had exercised" fourth class men,
hut did rot remember Exercising
Booz. The only thing he recalled in
connection with Booz's name was that
witness had heard him told to blow
the foam off himself" Bcoz had
ohcyed their orders, Stimulating the
blowing of foam off his shoulders.
When asked as to various haztngs,
Sheldon said he knew little or moth
ing of these cases. as he did not ap-
prove of hazing and therefore saw lit
tie of it. Boo2 was unpopular. he
said. because he was shiftless and the
| expression of his face was surly. His
character was all right. the witness
said.

only in its control practically all the
anthracite coal properties in the Unit
ed States. but deals are now on hand

from the Cleveland Leader remarks
on the subject of road making which
10 in line with the best thought Of
this coanty, and We here reproduce il
There sre several strong arguments
in favor Of road building by convicts.
In the first place, it would take che
convicts ont of competition with freq
labor in industrial lines In the Sec
ond place it would give the prisoners
healthful outdoor employment In
the third place, it would devote the
labor of the conYicts to improvements
which would be of benefit to all the
people. Many of the finest roads in
Europe are constructed aud kept in
repair by convict labor, and in view
of the constant agitation for good
roads, and also against the leasing of
convict labor to contractors engaged
In the manufacture of goods sold in
the market in competition with the
products of free labor, there Is no
reason why the inauguration of such
a plan in the United States should
not be favored. Experience has
taught that it is bad policy to main
tain conviots in idleness-bad for the
meu IS well as costly and extravsgant
for the Stste-and there is no doubt
that the giving of employment 10 the
open air at road-building or similar
work would have very beneficial re-
fOrmstory effect upon large percen-
tage of the prisoners.

Cardinal Gibbons preached q ser
mon at the cathedral In Baltimore
last Sunday week in which he review
ed the varied achievements of the
nineteenth century. He also uttered
an impressive remonstrsnce, from the
standpoint of Christianity, against =
policy of imperialism and military
cOuquest. Several paragraphs calcu-
lated to arrest the attention Of Chris
tain people, regardless of political
prediction, or denominationsl ale
glance, were as follow.
MAY God so guide our legislators
aud statesmen that they may never be
betrayed into initiating European
governments BY the establishment of
formidable standing armies. God
forbid that We ourselves, flushed with
recent victories, should ever become
intoxicated with the wine of impe-
rislism or militarism, but may we
alwsys follow the traditions Of the IA
theirs of the republic.
Hitherto We have presented to the
world beautiful spectacle. Euro
peans, accustomed at home to meet
soldier or gendsrme at every street
corner, on arriving in this country
have been filled with surprise and ad-
mirstion that q nation 80 vast In
extent, aud With such an immense
population contains an army of only
twenty-five thousand men. They
have been fOrcibly impressed with
the fact that they can travel from
Maine to California without meeting
n single soldier. They see that every
citizen of the United States is a SOL
der without uniform, engaged in the
active pursuits of life, and ready at a
moments notice to defend his coun-
try. They would feel that we are q
strong nation because we cheerfully
bow to the majesty of the law, and
are not confronted and intimidated
by military satrsps. May this fair
picture never be defsced.
Every Christian nation of the
world has it's own national flag, it
6ghts under its own chosen leaders,
it listens to its own favorite war cry.
But there is one banner before which
they all should bow, and that is the
banner of the cross; there is one
Leader whom they should all revere
and worship. and that lie Christ, the
Prince of Peace. There Is one clarion
trumpet to which they all should
hArken, AM that is the trumpet of
the Gospel"
