HAzING AT WEST POINT.
A False Standard of Manliness Exists
Among Cadets.


New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
This being a brief holiday season for the
cadets at West Point. many OF them are
taking advantage Of tho vacation to visit
this city. They seem TO feel keenly the
reproach brought upon the academy
tee appointed by the secretary of war to
examine into the hazing which was at least
the indirect cause, as alleged of the death
of Cadet BooZ. Yet the youngsters who are
to be fully possessed with that false spirit
which pervades the academy through
which an absurd standard of honor and Of
manliness has been raised.
They do rot seem TO be able TO COM
prehend that the finer. truer sense OF
honor would De exempIified in carrying out
literally their oath TO obey the regulations
of the academy nor do they seem TO un-
derstand that the people of the United
States who are supporting them are in
tolerant of the sham standards of honor
which require new cadets to undergo vari-
Gus forms of discipline that are forbidden
by the rules of the academy. The cadets
do not appear to realize that the finest. the
truest standard of honor is established with
that one who obeys literally the rules of
the institution which he promised when he
became a cadet to obey.
The cadets seem to have been so thor
oughly possessed with this false spirit and
this absurd standard that ii really seems
as though the most radical measures were
necessary to teach these young men that
they cannot make a man of a fourth-class
cadet by playing boyish pranks or impos-
ing irksome or hazardous restraints or ex-
ercises upon him, and it has been said that
much of the incapacity to understand our
political institutions which has character
lied so many of the graduates of West
Point may be traced 10 the brutal and
sham standards of manly conduct which the
cadets have there established for them
selves in defiance of the rules of the in
ssitution, and the utter inability to see that
they, as proteges and wards of the Nation,
owe higher obligation to the people who
support them than they do to any associa-

SPLENDID CONDITIONS.
The Manufacturers Begin the New
Year Auspiciously.

The year 1901 opens with Indianapolis
industries working under very favorable
conditions. That the manufacturers Of
both wood and iron are very busy is evil
denced by the fact that on New Years day,
when usually the greater part of them shut
down, but very few on Tuesday did so.

pushed with orders that they could not

A RECORD ESTABLISHED
sEvENTY-sEyEN KNOWN AND MANY
UNKNOWN DEFENDANTS.
A Petition FILED I'm the Probate Court
I'm the DcIoss Root Estate
Case.

Perhaps the most voluminous document
filed in the probate department. when the
number of Itigants are considered, was
a petition 10 sell real estate left with
Probate Commissioner Walker yesterday.
The petition is styled Henry w. Bennett,
executor of the will of Deloss Root against
Anna E. McDougal ct al. This title. as
it appears on the back OF the document.
is very simple. but when the pages are
opened the list of defendants looks like
the enumeration of an endless lineage
The PLAINTIFF is alone In his cause and
opposes seventy-seven defendants spe-
officially named and the unknown heirs OF
eleven beneficiaries who dead. Even
the attorneys who drew up the petition
that has established for them a reputation
as masters in hunting up ancestors, run
ming down their posterity and calculating
the relationship established through mat
rimonial ventures. were unable to designate
the strength of this unknown quantity.
The list of defendants covers several
typewriter pages before the body of the
petition is reached; then comes a recital
of the foregoing title, with the exception
that the pages are written solid" but as
the addresses are given in this instance
the title is prolonged until the reader be-
gins 10 think the end is indefinite. After
carefully canvassing this second list of
defendants with their addresses attached.
one has fair knowledge of the map of
. the United States.
With scarcely a break, the petition runs
from the list of defendants into an enumer-
alton of the property owned by the de-
ceased. The estate is a valuable one, the
schedule showing that Deloss Root owned
property in Marion county worth $40, 435
and real estate in Pulaski county valued
at $32240, making a total of $Sl SIS, be-
sides personal property. The list of the
property covers about as much space as
the title of the case, as it is much divided.
When these necessary and specific details
are disposed of and a volume has been
built up that will compare favorably with
fair-sized book the petitioner, i'm a dozen
lines or so, tells the court what he wishes
done.
The estate has been in the probate de-
partment for several years. but a settle
ment is now thought to be in sight. With
the disposition of the property involved in
the petition, the estate will practically be
clear, and apportionment will be made
suitable to the plaintiff and the numerous
defendants.

The quickest and surest way to the
recovery of lost health, is by the use of
that radical and rational remedy, Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Dis
eases which originate in the stomach
must be cured through the stomach. A
host of chronic sufferers who had "doc-
tored " for years for a diseased heart,
liver or spleen, have at last used Golden
Medical Discovery" for the blood, stom-
ach and organs of digestion and nttri-
ton, and found perfect cure of the
hitherto incurable ailments The most
convincing argument for a trial of the
Golden Medical Discovery" is that it
has cured so many people given up"
by the doctors.
There is no alcohol, cocaine, opium
or other narcotic in Golden Medical
