"BRAcINo" AT WEST POINT
Cadets Made to Stand On Their Heads,
Sing, Etc.

WEST POINT, N. Y, Jan. 19.-The
committee appointed by the house of
representatives to investigate the sub
ject of hazing at the Military academy
expects to get through with the taking
of testimony by midnight tonight, but
it is more than likely that the session
may be held next Monday, as several
witnesses have yet to be examined. The
congressman are anxious to get away
from West Point, for business reasons,
and they will do their utmost to finish
up, so that they can return to Wash
ington tomorrow.
The first witness examined this smorn.
ing was Cadet Bunker of Massachu-
setts, who is member of the present
third class. Last night some of the
plebes told the committee that Bunker
had hazed them and given them tobasco
sauce during the encampment last sum-
mer.
Cadet Dillon said he was compelled
by Bunker to swallow from a half to a
teaspoonful of the sauce, given him in
a camp spoon.
Bunker denied having ever given
more than Is drops of sauce to a cadet,
although admitting that he had taken
part in the hazing of some plebes and
when Judge Smith confronted him with
Dillon's testimony the witness said he
did not recollect ever having given such
a large quantity to Dillon or any other
plebe.
Bunker, who said he weighed about
200 pounds and measured 5 feet IL
inches, only remembered having hazed
two men. who were his equal in
physique. The other plebes whom he
hazed were all men. He had never en-
gagged in fights, either as principal or
assistant. His hazing was limited to
bracing, making men sing out their
wash list to popular airs. ride broom.

TO REDUCE YARN OUTPUT
Action of the SoNthern Yarn Spinners'
Association.

CHARLOTTE, N. c.. Jan. 19.-At q
meeting of the Southern Hosiery Yarn
Spinners' association here lay af.
ternoon a resolution sed that
production of SOFT .uld be cur.
tailed as much cysro1e.
About 10000 spindles engaged in the
manufacture of soft yarns used for hos.
iery were represented by personal own
ers or proxy. President Adamson If
Cedartown, Ga. stated after the meet
ing last night that he expected that the
order passed by the association will
have the effect of stopping all night
work in the mills represented.
The former schedule of prices was or
dered vacated, for the reason, it waa
stated, that the members of the associa-
alton expected higher prices as a result
OF the agreement to curtail production.
This association numbers among its
membership about 95 per cent of the
spindles of the south engaged in the
manufacture of soft yarns, and it is ex-
pected that the action taken at the meet
ing will have an immediate effect upon
the output of the hosiery yarn product.

VICTORIA'S HEALTH
CAUSE FOR ALARM
News From Osborne the Sub
ject of Anxiety.
CONTRADICTORY REPORTS

Nevertheless, 1t Is Apparent That the
Queen Is Seriously Ill and That Her
Days Now Are Numbered-BulIetin
From the Sick Room.
LONDON, Jan. l9.-The kilograms from
Cowes today agree in announcing an
improvement III the queen s health, but
these reports are somewhat discounted
by the fact that the Prince of Wales and
the Princess Louise Duchess of Argyll)
started for Cowes by special train at ! 80
p. m. Among the rumors is one that
the queen had a paralytic stroke a
couple of weeks ago.
Without undue attention being paid
to the alarmists, it may, however, be ac-
cepted as fact that the official state
ments in regard to the health of the
sovereign are barely so pessimistic as
the announcement III the court circular.
The departure of the Duke of Cam
bridge for Paris this morning is taken
as indicative of an improvement in her
majesty's condition.
Sir Francis Henry Laking, surgeon to
her majesty, who was summoned to Os-
borne, returned to London last evening
and is attending to his professional bus
mess today. He goes to Osborne again
tonight.

stead's Pessimistic Prediction.

NEW YORK. Jan. 19-In a special dis
patch to The Journal and Advertiser
from London, Mr. w. T. Stead says:
''The prediction I made when the
South African war broke out seems to
be drawing near to its fulfllment.
When all our efforts failed to induce the
British government to accede to the
Beers demand for arbitration, I wrote:
"'This war will bring down the gray
hairs of our queen with sorrow to the
grave.
1.-The fulfllment of the prophecy seems
near at hand. The queen has never
quite rallied from the shock of the news
of her grandson, Victor's, death. The
news today, although carefully kept
back from the public, points to gen
eral breakup. The most glorious reign
in England's history is setting in blood.
But the approaching demise of the SOW
ereign is not by any means the only la.
ment in the gloom which darkened the
counsels of the cabinet today"

Eccentricities of Sam Lewis.

''Sam" Lewis humor took a fanciful
turn. Whenever he saw an opportunity
to make life miserable for sprigs of the
aristocracy he never missed it. Once he
was able to taunt his victim, he did not
seem to care whether he got his money
back or not Yet a beggar never asked
him for aims in the streets withuot a
substantial reply. He frequently said
he had so much money that he scarcely
knew what to do with it. His enormous
bequests to charity have not been
equalled in the recent history of Eng
land. 1t seems that he devoted his life
to robbing the nobility in order to en-
rich the poor. Lewis lived in a gorge
Gus house in Grosvenor square, where
his wife entertained lavishly. His tight
trousers, sporting clothes and immense
diamonds gave him the appearance of a
flash" racing man.

Americans severely Criticised.

The Vanderbilt French nuptials have
afforded several papers in London an
opportunity to sneer at the display of
wealth made upon that occasion. One
paper says: "Bad taste and want of
breeding have their head in America.
and their wealth flaunts itself with vul.
gar ostentation, to find a parallel in
which we must go back to the worst Pc
rlod of the Roman empire. The latest
example is the execrable taste of the
marriage at Newport -
Another paper endeavors to draw
deadly parallel between the Wander
bilt and Rockefeller nuptials, by point
ing out the simplicity of Mr. E. Parme-
lee-Prentice, who is described as strug-
Cling lawyer and Sundayschool teacher.
Other English papers comment gravely

A Remarkable Parsonage.

Death removed two, remarkable per-
sonalities from the metropolis this week
the Bishop of London, Right Rev. Man
dell Creighton, and the money lender,
Sam "Lewis." known far and wide for
very differing qualities. Both possessed
two things in common-humor and
broad insight into the affairs of men
and the world. DR.. Creighton had
many attainments and was accounted
one of the most erudite theological his
torlans of the day. Yet none could roll
a cigarette more deftly or retort more
quickly in up-to-date slang. He wore
his learning as lightly as q flower, but
his addresses to the closing year were
hardly ever equalled. In ruling his
episcopate during the troublous times
of the keen rituaistic controversy, he
avoided stern legal measures, yet gen.
orally obtained obedience to his will.
He was an athlete in his youth and
rowed in an Oxford eight, but he was
more famous for his velveteen coat than
for anything else.
