$125,00O left him by the first Mrs.

What a WeSterner Learned
In a New York Street Car

seemed, permitted themselves to be
driven.
And in this conduct of the people, the
stranger saw that they had no time for
stubbornness, no time to spend in re-
senting the domineering air of the con-
ductor, no moments to be lost in pro-
test or expostulation. A great COM
mon and controlling spirit was appar-
ent. 1t was shown in this very will
lingness to be driven. Then and there
the westerner encountered for the first
time that constant irresistible, dominant
force which pervades this spot, where
nearly 100000 people are heaped to-
gether-nearly 100000 individuals
struggling always to reach the top of
the heap. And this persistent, power.
full influence that carries men and
women blindly onward, making them
disregard the rights of the weak, caus-
ing them to lose sight sometimes of the
common laws of conduct-this influence
could be seen in the action of every
man and woman.

Needs Men For
Navy.
There Is an Increasing
Shortage.
Many DesertIons the Past
Year.

Washington, Nov. 11--In the annual
report Of the Bureau of Navigation,
just issued much stress is laid on
the urgent need of money for more
officers to man both existing ships,
and those about to be turned out
within short time. In presenting
this subject tables are given show
Ing that even now 1t requires 577
officers who do not exist, while on
July 1, 1906, the shortage will reach
1905.
This is estimated most conservative
ly, only II officers, including mid
shipmen, are allowed to each ship.
Against this number, great Britain
has 33, France 26, and Germany 20.
To remedy the evil legislation is
recommended providing for appoint
ment. by each senator and representa-
tive or delegate of two midshipmen,
and ten annually at large, and further
providing for an increase of thirty
lieutenant commanders, fifty lieuten-
ants and $50 lieutenants junior grade.
The report also urges the re-estab-
lishment of the grade of vice admiral,
one each to be appointed for the
North Atlantic and Asiatic stations.
In order to. meet the needs of a
growing navy, 1t is advised that
general staff be authorized, and
chief Of the general staff, who, by
direction of the secretary, shall be
responsible for the personnel and the
efficiency of the fleet in commission;
who shall in fact direct under
the secretary, the military affairs of
the fleet and be responsible to him
for its condition.
According to the report there are
new. 21 ,433 enlisted men in the navy
of whom 10,294 were recruited during
the year. There We're 3,037 deser-
tions, 14O deaths, and 4,O26 men dis
charged.
The squadron policy of the bureau
is given as follows: "The plan for
the assignments for vessels for the
various squadrons at the close Of
the fiscal year, June 80, 1902, was
to divide the battleships of the navy
into two squadrons, one upon the
North Atlantic station and one upon
the Asiatic station. 1t is believed
that for the present two squadrons
are all that the number of our bat
tleships will permit. The department
decided in the spring of 1902 to pre-
pare a group of vessels to be In readi-
ness to meet the frequent calls made
for the service of our navy in differ
ent quarters of the Caribbean and
| West Indies.
1.-THE department contemplates
maintaining in this division Ave cruis-
ers with the Olympia as flagship to
be based upon Culebra, including a
force Of marines on board a trans
port. 1t is to be known as the Carib-
bean division Of the North Atlantic
station, and will be commanded by
Rear Admiral J. B. Coghlan, U. S. N,
who is second in command of the
North Atlantic station.

4 REVIEW.

The showing made by the Glee and
Banjo clubs and the hockey, basketball
and chess teams during the holidays
was very creditable. The musical or
CARNATIONS rendered a programme that
departed very decidedly from the ordi-
nary college glee club performance, and
the audiences, which We're uniformly
good seemed to anNre~iate this fact
Yale's representatives We're entertain
ed handsomely everywhere they visit
ed. and the receptions accorded them
We're greatly appreciated and enjoyed.
While the hockey and basketball
teams suffered a good many defeats,
the object of their trips was fully real
lied. The practice which they received
should be of value IN preparation for
the intercollegiate championship series
which are yet to be played.
OF the four organizations Yale's chess
team deserves credit for having accom-
plished the most BY winning the
championship the team ranks not only
as the best college team of the year,
but as the most successful that Yale has
ever had.-Yale News.
