Gen. Miles on the Army canteen.

The annual report of Gen. Miles as the
head of the United States army does not
bear out the idea, so often mentioned,
that the army officers are opposed to the
abolition OF the army canteen. Gen. Miles
does not say that he himself is in favor
of the abolition of the canteen, but that,
so far as he has been able to learn, the
doing away with the canteen has not
worked the harm that has been assigned
to it by the officers of some posts Gen.
Miles says:
Much has been said concerning the
army canteen, which, when first establish
ed was called the amusement room and
afterwards the post exchange 1t was
place of amusement and recreation for
the enlisted men, where they could enjoy
reading books and papers. playing games,
etc. They could purchase such refresh
ments except liquors. as they desired. 1t
was then an eminently successful institu-
ton and promoted the contentment and
welfare of the troops. Later, when what
was known as the post traders establish
ments were established. light wines and
beers were sold in the canteen. The gov
eminent has now by act of Congress pro-
hihited the sale of intoxicating beverages
in the canteen. and II is believed that no
injury has resulted thereby and that the
The army is composed principally of
young men who have not formed the
habit of using liquor. and, although the
majority of the enlistments actually occur
in large cities, as the recruiting officers
are principally there. a large percentage
of the men come from homes in the coun-
try and small towns and villages in va
rious parts OF the United States. The
prediction that the change would prevent
enlistment and increase assertions has
not been fulfilled"
Gen. Miles gives the total strength of
the army at the present time as A,513 OF
which number 1854 are in the United
States 1929 in the Philippines, 49l4 in
Cuba the remainder, in small detach-
ments, being in Porto Rico, Hawaii, China
and Alaska.
Gen. Miles critiCizes the present organ
ization and control OF the army which
tends Ito absorb and usurp the entire
conduct of the military established in the

Railroad Difficulties Adjusted.

Judge II. II. Wheeler rendered a decis-
ion Monday in the case of O'Brien &
Sheehan, contractors and builders of the
Rutland-Canadian railroad vs. the Rut-
land railroad company, regarding the
making of tests and taking of measure
ments along the filings of the Rutland
Canadian railroad. At a recent hearing
in New York O'Brien & Sheehan were
given permission to carry on this work.
and for some time Oscar ID. Guilfoil has
had corps of engineers engaged upon it,
On Friday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Pol
ley of Fair Haven and representative
of the Rutland railroad went to the
scene of operations and ordered the work
stopped, and when asked for their au-
thority for such an order they said their
authority came from the Rutland rail-
road company. T. w. Moloney of Rut-
land, the well known Democratic poll
tician and attorney for the Rutland
Canadian road, refused to accept such
authority and ordered the men to proceed
with their work, whereupon Mr. Policy
drew his club and struck Mr.. Moloney
several blows over the neck and
shoulders. II. NJ. Mcintosh, a Burlington
surveyor, interfered, but was forced to
retreat beyond the company's lines.
Work was then suspended and Mr. Gull
foil made application to Judge Wheeler
for an order allowing him to carry on the
work unmolested, The order provided
that the agents of O'Brien & Sheehan
might make proper tests on the filings
in question, fixing yesterday as the date
of beginning operations.

Alma Green Fatally Hurt.

Alma Green. travelling expert of the
Vocation Organ company of New York,
who will be remembered by many Brat
tleboro people and others in the Connecti-

quarters in Brattleboro, was fatally in

n. Y. He had eaten his breakfast at the
Union hotel, packed his grips and was

GLIDING the proprietor of the hotel. heard
the fail and hurried to Mr.. Green's as
sistance. Medical aid was summoned. and
1t was found that the spine had been
injured, causing a complete paralysis of
the body below the chest. Mr.. Green was
about 90 years old and was born in
Sweden. He leaves no relatives. He
came to this country about Is years ago
and had been employed by the Vocation
company about three years. He went to
Ithaca to repair the organ in Music hall,
at the Conservatory of Music. and his
ability was shown by the remark of the
secretary of the conserva tory, who said
that Mr.. Green was the most talented
organ tuner they ever had.

President McKinley's Kindness.

In an article in the November Cen
fury on Some Personal Characterls-
tics of President Mckinley" the Hon.
John d. Long, secretary of the navy,
tells of his late chiefs unfailing kind
illness.
He was considerate toward every
body. His first thought seemed to
be to make all with whom he came in
contact or had political or private re-
lation happier or more at ease. AS he
drove through the street or along the
country road. he never failed to recog-
nize salutation, even If it were only
the wistful face of some child or the
kindly interest of the wayside laborer.
There was no school-boy or girl who
had the happy fortune to be admitted
to the Cabinet chamber that did not
receive from his hand the flower
which he was wearing in the lapel of
his coat.

among the people of the South, and

Vermont Audubon Societies.

Soon after the reorganization of the
Brattleboro Bird club as an Audubon So
ciety statement of the purposes of the
society was sent to the leading papers of
the state and was generally used. From
st. Johnsbury, besides the publication of
the article in the Caledonan, there came
a cordial letter from Mr.. Stone, the edi-
tor, saying that there was much interest
in birds in that place, and that a society
would undoubtedly be formed Prominent
residents who were personally interested
in the work were mentioned, and it was
said that the local interest had been
greatly stimulated by the fact that the
Fairbanks museum in that village con-
tains one of the finest collections of birds
in the country
The statement above referred to- after
outlining the work of the Audubon socie-
ty of Vermont, says: 1T is desired that
branch societies may be formed through
the state, and correspondence for this
purpose is cordially invited by the sec
retaries, Mrs. F. X. Barrows and Miss
Emma j. Gregg, Brattleboro. The presi-
dent, Mrs. Horton, is willing to give her
personal attention to such organization If
desired, and to promote the interest by
talks upon birds and bird ways. She is
an interesting speaker and the collection
of birds and birds nests which she uses
to illustrate her lectures is very helpful
to the young student
The Mddlebury Register gives the
movement this good word: 1.-THE efforts
of the ladies of Brattleboro, to organize
the bird-lovers of the state into an Audu-
bon society is to be commended. While
the slaughter of innocent songsters has
not been so great in Vermont as in some
of her more populous neighbors, the in
culcating of a sentiment adverse to the
wearing of song-birds' feathers in hats
is at least one feature that would make
the society useful in Vermont. To
strengthen the national organization will
mean to protect our migratory birds when
they are in other states. Let the good
work progress"

Electrical Power Carried 1870 Miles.

The lack of coal and its high cost in
California have given a strong impetus
to the development of water and electrical
power in that state. The streams flowing
down from the snow-capped mountains
throughout the year furnish ideal power
for operating electrical machinery, and
the average low humidity permits OF the
transmission of the electric current for
longer distances than elsewhere in the
country. 4 notable instance of this is the
power plant on the Yuba river, in the
Sierra Nevada mountains. where cleo
tricity is generated which operates the
street cars of Oakland, 40 miles away.
Power has also been used over the same
line at San Jose distance of 100 miles
from the generating plant This is said
TO be the longest line of power transmits
sion in existence. There are a number
of other interesting electric plants in Cali
fornia besides that on the Yuba river,
but none that transmit the current for so
great a distance.

The Brooklyn and the Oregon Fought
the Battle.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times calls attention TO the
fact that the testimony in the SohIev
court of inquiry has given an entirely new
view of the battle of Santiago. Hereto
lore 1t has been taken for granted that all
of the ships of the flying squadron had
part In this battle. But If the testimony
before the court is true, it was practically
fought and won by the Brooklyn and the
oregon alone, except for such slight as
slstance as the Texas was able to offer.
The original plan was to meet and destroy
the Spanish ships one by one as they
came out of the mouth of the harbor of
santiago What really happened was
that the Maria Teresa was the only Span
ish ship thus destroyed. The others got
safely away, and would have escaped had
II not been for the work of the Brooklyn,
and of the Oregon which developed such
remarkable speed in a heavy battleship.
One of the officers of the Oregon in de-
scribing on the witness stand the mighty
rush of his ship, said that she went by
the other American battleships las IL
they were anchored"
The part which the American squadron
played in this battle, therefore, ended in
that short melee at the mouth of the har-
Dor, in which the Teresa was DESTROYED.
After that the battle proper began and II
was conducted by the Brooklyn and the
Oregon alone.
This happened because the Spanish
ships were fast cruisers while the Ameri-
can squadrons were made up for the most
part of heavy battleships. The Texas
alone managed to hang on Just in sight
of the Brooklyn and the Oregon a part
of the time, and doing what she could to
help, but that, according to this testi-
mony, was very little.
