COPYING THE MILITARY RECORDS.
The Secretary of War Deems n Reform
Necessary.

NecesSuTys
The Secretary of War has issued an i'm
portant circular in regard to the issue of
copies Of military records, in which he
SAYS:
1.-The calls upon the War Department by
subordinate officers and employees of other
executive departments for extended copies
Of military records have become so nu-
merous, and compliance with them has
been so burdensome and expensive, as to
call for serious consideration, whether some
reform is not practicable in the interest of
economy and the dispatch of public busi-
ness. AS rule, these records are desired
for the purpose Of aScertaining some fact
relating to military status or service. which
Is primarily the duty of the War Depart
ment to determine in the course of, or as
incident to, the execution of the law.
Where such a fact is to be determined
Judicially, it, Of course, is proper and is
the practice of the department to produce
the original records or duly authenticated
copies in the court for judicial considera-
ton Where, however, such fact is to be
ascertained for the executive purposes, it
can only lead to confusion, conflict and
waste of public time to have numerous Diff
ferent members of the executive branch eX-
amining the same records for the purpose
OF determining the same questions, and is
wholly unnecessary. Whenever therefore,
such fact is to be ascertained for the
purpose of executive action and no statute
requires a different course, this departme ent
will answer proper Inquiries as to the fact
aScertaining it from the examination of it's
own records or statements from them, to
enable officers or employees of other execu-
tive departments to review decisions made
by the War Department upon purely mill
tary questions, or to make such independent
decisions With regard to such questions"

JUNIOR CONGRESS IN SESSION.
of Permanent Census
Bureau Discussed

Commissary General Pearson Of the Boer
army, now in this country to protest
against the shipment OF American mules to
the Transvaal, Saturday evening ad-
dressed the members Of the Junior Con-
gress of America at Columbian University
preceding the regular Saturday night ses-
sion. For forty-fve minutes he entertained
those present, including a large number
Of visitors in the galleries.
Following this a bill was read and dis
cussed which provided for the establish
ment OF Il permanent census bureau. Pre-
ceding the final passage OF the bill 1t was
pointed out in a debate participated in by
nearly all present. that many of the defects
existing under the present system might
readily be obviated by a provision of the
nature of the one proposed. Promptness,
accuracy, completeness and greater detail
In results, as well as greater efficiency on
the part of a clerical force steadily en-
pIoyed In the work, would be attained. it
was argued. by the passage of this meas
ure Substa antial assistance could be rem
dered various departments OF the govern
ment by the bureau, greater economy would
follow, it was argued, and the proposed
bureau or department Of commerce would
be specially aided.

IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTS.
Commission Report on Cost
md Prices.

| The industrial commission has issued a
| special report an investigation conduct
| ed by the commission regarding the cost
and selling prices of iron and steel products
| from 1890 to 1901. The statement shows
| that In 1890 the cost of steel Tails ranged
from s259a to $34.52; in 1891 from $241o to
s25 6s: in 1892 from $22 .65 to $24.S2; in 1893
| from 1925 to s22.62; in 1894 from $17.19
! to sol %; in 1895 from $16.6S to S2o41; In
1896 from $17.72 to $20.69; in 1897 from
| S1591 to $1762; in 1898 from $16.67 to
| S17S1; in 1899 from SSH in January to
$50 80 in December; in 1900 from $36l2 in
February to $21.S3 in october, ana IN lSol
from $21.54 to $25.9s.
According to the showing made there was
| a margin in the selling price over the cost
price for every year from 1880 up to July
Of 1898 In 1890 the margin ran from $73
to $3.50 per ton; in 1891 from 80 to
from s4.75 to S.. 40; in 1894 from $21 to
az 81: In 1895 from $1.10 to $9.O6; in 1896
from s731 to s1O.2s; in 1897 from 81! to
S73S. In 1898 the highest margin was Si.53,
| in January In July loss Of cents per
| ton is noted, the cost price being ell $lLoo
as against a selling price of $11O. Again,
! in June Of 1899, when the cost price was
$27.62, there was loss OF 80 Genus. IN
TnIv Of that wear the loss was $1.5l on
cost price of $29.76; $1.15 on cost price
| of s3315, and in September LAS on a a cost
| rrica of SS3 9S, A loss OF ABOUT SlOV per
| TON Is also reported for the months OF Jan.
uary. February, March, April and May OF
| 1890 when the cost price ranged over $50
ner ton. Losses also are claimed on steer
billets for most Of the year 1900 and for the
| first four months Of 1901 A loss Is recoroea
| for every month in 1898 on billets. Losses
are recorded for the last three months OF
| 1900 on pig iron. Inc lowest cost OF Pc, pro
duction for pig iron was recorded IN 1884,
when it was $S65 per ton. In 19O0 the cost
| of pig iron was $685..
Commenting in a general way the COM
mission says: e.
These often sudden and violent huctua-
t;ons show. among other indications, the
araat changes in demand for iron and steel
9rodncts from time to time, and the
marked sensitiveness Of prices to such
chanves in demand. No very large stock
of iron and steel Is usually held in ad-
vance. and when period OF prosperity
causes q great extension OF the use OF
these nroducts, the mills often ma them
selves temporarily unable to Keep pace with
| the demand while buyers,Dunder certain
conditions are willing to pay almost any
price. s T. ~.
nr,ce of rails are followed by changes In
the nrice of Dig iron, but the more or less
artificial price Of rails Indicated In the dia-
gram prevents this paraiieiism from oelng
as close as 1t is in the case OF bliiets ana
pie iron We find that the cost OF rails,
which depends largely on the price OF the
chief constituent, pig iron, varies mucn
more greatly from month to month than
the selling price, while on the other hand 1t
occasionally happens that very sudden
change in the selling price OF rails appears

James Callahan Acquitted.

The jury in the case of James Callahan at
Omaha, Neb., after being out thirtv-s;r
hours, brought in a verdict finding the
defendant not guilty, and the prisoner
was discharged. This is the last echo
in the Cudahy KIDNAPPING case, and It is
practically the second time Callahan has
been acquitted Of the kidnapping charge.
1t was remarked that there is now little
to prevent Pat Grove from coming to Oma-
ha. The evidence on which Callahan has
been tried would probably prevail in case
of Grove being tried on the same charges.
and County Attorney Shields gave 1t as his
opinion that Grove will now return.

unaccompanied by any correspondingiy
sudden changes in cost. 1t naturally fol-
lows that the margin between the cost
and selling price is much more variable
quantity in the case Of rails than in the
case of billets. The great increase in the
margin during the year 1896 is noteworthy,
while still more striking is the fact that
from 1897 to the middle Of 1900 almost no
margin appears: During 1899 the price
Of steel billets, and In some months Jagged
even behind that of pig iron. SO that the
margin on rails for several months in 1899
and 1900 was considerably less than zero.
On the other hand, the price Of rails did
not fall as suddenly In 1900 as the price
of pig iron or the cost Of rails. 30 that for

A P1ANo-TUNER's TROUBLES.
Some Things He Found in the Neg
lected Instrument of u Par
ticu1ar Housewife.

Ihere are housewives and house
wives, no question about that" said
the communicative piano-tuner. 'The
other day L went to spink-and-span
house uptown. The woman was one of
the Kind that prides herself on doing
her own work. She paused moment
to polish the bell handle, on which |
had thoughtlessly imprinted thumb
mark, before allowing me to pass in,
and even then she instructed me to be
particular in wiping my feet, and
scowled at me because I set nv bag
OF tools on the polished oak seat of the
hall rack. Noticed that she stopped to
pick up bit of thread. on the parlor
carpet, as I walked toward the piano,
and | kind of knew what to expect.
You just ought to have seen the in
side OF that piano! 1 had no more than
lifted the lid when off I went into a

there, and no mistake Iscraped around
in it awhile, trying to locate the mech
anism, and then I said: Madam, Tn
sorry to trouble you, but I shall need
dustpan and brush
"she pretended to be indignant at
first, but she colored up like fire,
brought me the dustpan and brush and
helped me use it. We found all sorts
OF curiosities in that piano." continued
the piano-tuner. according to the Phil
adelphia Record. spiders webs, sew

OF mouse's nest the woman's equa-
nlmity failed her. She marched out of

such cases often? Oh, yes; once in

No New Women There.

1t is extremely difficult for Chinese
of the higher classes to find husbands
for their daughters whose feet have
attained the natural size. 1t is
thought that women who desire I'M
manned feet are actuated by no hon
orable motive, the Gripping making
it difficult for them to go about and
keeping them more closely at home
than would be the case if they had
full use of the stunted members.
Love between husband and wife as
it exists among Christian people is
unknown in China, and it is subject
that it is not considered decorous to
discuss. Suicide is common among
women of all classes, and aside from
grief after bereavement, unhappiness
in marriage is the most common
cause of such tragedies. Hundreds
of wives, it is estimated, end their
lives every year in Picking alone.

INCREASING CHURCH FUNDS.
Queer Method Suggested by an Eng
lish Pnrson for Replenishing
His Treasury.

Clergymen in charge of small and
poor congregations frequently find
themselves hampered by want of
funds with which to carry on their
work. but it is doubtful if even from
tier missionary, who is generally ac-
knowledged to be the most hampered
of American ministers, would adopt
the method for increasing his re-
sources which an English parson is re-
ported to have pursued. This clergy
man is in charge of church at Mill
wall and is quoted as offering to give
any West end church thorough
spring cleaning, the payment to go to
his own church funds. In his letter
announcing his offer the clergyman
says, according to a paragraph in
Scottish journal: "With the practical
experience I have acquired can now
beeswax and polish floor, or varnish
floors with anybody, and my wife is
Al at painting and DECORATING
The wives of some American clergy
men, particularly in frontier stations,
could and do tell tales of hardship and
trial. but it is safe to assume that
no matter how low the church treas
ury might be they would hardly be ex-
pected to aid in its replenishing by hir-
ing out to do church cleaning. even if
it were simply painting and decorat-
ing" and not the regular scrub work.
