MISSARY FRAUDS.

Washington April 3.-The following cable dis
patch was received to-day at the War Depart
ment from General Macarthur, at Manila:

n 20 officers, 1S3 men, 100 rifles. Genera!
Kobbe reports 81 men and p guns surrendered

Conmssary frauds being investigated; not
sufficient gravity to cause concern; apparently
due irregularity sales savings. Press reports
iii'>''' MACARTHUR.
General MacArthur's dispatch. as well as other
information received concerning the frauds
leaves considerable doubt to the exact char
acter of the alleged peculations. General Mac
Arthur speaks of sales" These sales consist of
savings by the soldiers the regular rations
issued which they are allowed to dispose of for
their own benefit Generally the savings are
made a company matter. and are sold in bulk to
the highest bidder. They may be returned to the
Commssary Department and bought in by the
government a cost, but there is no reason why
they should not be sold elsewhere if the man
ayers of the company fund so desire. AS army
rations do not pay the usual duty imposed on
similar goods used for private consumption, the
soldiers could make quite profit on their saw
ings If they were of considerable amount. Sales
from commissary stores not included in the
regular ration are made to officers and men. but
only on a certificate or declaration that they are
for the personal of the purchaser. 1t is
said that no great amount of such sales could
be used without detection. Officers or men
purchasing such stores and reselling them would
be guilty of violating the army regulations, and
would be subject to court-martial AS to the
other savings. they are upon the regular rations
issued to each company. They might be in -four
meat, sugar any number of staple articles
included in the ration. The money from the
sale of such savings is usually devoted to the
purchase of such supplies not included
in the ration. and many delcacies and varieties
of food are thus secured by the men in garrison
camp.

A fall Of hail to the average depth OF
one inch over a region four miles wide
and eighteen miles long is a fall OF
161 100000 cubic feet OF Ice weighing
nearly 100000 tons. The average ele-
walton from which 1t fell may be taken
as 5000 feet. All the mass that fell
must previously have been raised TO
that level-that is, 100000 tons must
have been raised 5000 feet or 5000, GOO
foot tons OF work must have been done.
which corresponds TO the work of an
engine OF n million horsepower work
Ing for five hours. When the hail fell.
the force OF gravity did this identical
amount of work. IL we wish to pre-
vent the fall OF hail, we must somehow
do the same amount OF work per hour,

same rate as long as necessary. The

icularly with the cure of phthisis. II
might naturally be expected that in
public places n state OF affairs would
not now be tolerated which is contrary
TO the recommendations of medical au.
thority. We are all perfectly aware OF
the necessity for free ventilation. We
understand why indiscriminate shifting
is an abominable danger and how close
rooms and stuffy omnibuses and over
nlled railway carriages increase the
chances OF infection even for healthy
persons. Moreover, we know that in
the presence OF an infected person, as
where one member OF the family is the
subject OF pulmonary tuberculosis, a
constant supply of pure air In plenty is
n paramount necessity for the health
OF those who are bound to live under
the same roof as the sufferer.
So much. then, being matter of COM
mon knowledge. 1t is little short of
marvellous to see In what kind OF at
mosphere this enlightened public Is
content TO confine itself ut certain
times. A visit TO the courts of law or
to the churches OF every denomina ton

There can be no greater mistake than
to neglect the conditions of atmos-

He greeted me as If had left the town
only the day before. On the way to

AMERICAN CITIZEN,
Prouder Title Than Any Conferred
by Ole World aonarchs.


We take the following from Our
Dumb Animals. Mr.. Angel. the editor
never spoke more directly 20 the point
than he does in the answer to the Ques-
ton given below:
what particular advantage Is Ii, Mr.
Angel, to be the wife OF a prince or
dukeY' Is question asked us today,
and we are obliged to answer that real
ly we do not know.
Our impression Is that an American
sovereign. with money enough to pay
his bills and reasonable provision
against misfortunes and old age, occu-
pies about the most desirable position
that can be found i'm this world. We
remember how European prince, call
ing one day upon Rothschild aud find
ing him busy with another caller. was
requested by Mr.. II. to take a chair. TO
which he replied very haughtily. 81 am
the frlnce or -" "Ah," said Roths-
child, take two chairs!
we remember quite a discussion we
once had in England with an English
gentleman to convince him thar his
blood was quite as good as that of the
Prince of Wales. We think no intelli-
gent American gentleman would have
any doubt on that point. When we
started OUR bands OF mercy in America.
we secured the assistance of an Eng
lish clergyman, who was almost every
day telling us about his queen. until
one day, after freely admitting that she
seemed to be very respectable wo-
man, we added, "But we have right
here in Massachusetts, 10000 women
Just as good and respectable" No intel
ligent American would have any doubt
on that point. Still it must be admitted
that we have some people in America
mot distinguished perhaps for their
brain developmen0 who, seemingly un-
conscious of the greatness of their own
country, where every citizen is q SOW
ereign, seems to be wonderfully stirred
up whenever a prince or duke comes
over to visit us and whose sayings and
doings on such occasions, as reported
In our newspapers, forcibly remind us
of Puck's famous aphorism, "what
fools these mortals be-"
In the palmy days of ancient Rome
the proudest title In the world was. 81
am Roman citizenv' So In our days
let us strive In all peaceful ways TO
make the proudest title In the world 81
