ing of reports. annual and otherwise, and
the documents of government officers gen.

the statistical tables and expensive illus

following letter which Secretary Cortelyou
has sent to the various departments of the
government: Il am directed by the Presi-
dent to say that he desires some plan de-
yised by which the present tendency to
increase the number and size of printed

curbed. He thinks there is much useless
matter and a large number of unneces-
sary and expensive illustrations included
in many Of the reports and documents pub
lished; that many are issued at great ex-
pense which accomplish no practical good

FACT AND RUMOR.
The Story of One Postponed Cabinet
Council I'm England.

London Chronicle.
Cabinet councils give rise at times to
rumors that dodge fact and mislead public
expectancy. One Of Lord Beaconsheld's
supplies case in point. Queen Victoria,
SO runs the tale, was anxious about the
state of wind and wave in the mid-Atlantic
which the Princess Louise happened then
to be crossing. A lord in waiting knew
a professor who was a weather divfner, and
to him he went with a message from her
Majesty. who also sent a message to Lord
Beaconsfield. The lord In waiting was
sent to theatrical supper-it was Sunday
night-in search of the professor. Him he
found in this lively company and was him
words that was passing round. Which
would they choose If they had to marry,
Gladstone or Disraeli. All said "Disraeli''
except one, and she said Gladstone SO
that might elope with Disraeli and break
his heart"
The lord in waiting much diverted. went
forth and, finding DisraeH in rather low
spirits, told him his tale as an instance OF
his great popularity with all classes of
the queens subjects The whimsicality OF
the thing was congenial to Disraeli, who
was kept waiting next day at a cabinet
council for the arrival of important col
league. To pass the time he told the as
sembled ministers the story OF the theatre
cal supper. Lord Cairns absit omen) hear
ing, did not smile, and his solemnity put
out OF countenance the prime minister
who at once made the nonarrival OF the
colleague an excuse for postponing the
council for a couple OF hours. The bal

that afternoon the papers had headings:

womans Nurse Corps Favored.

WASHINGTON. Oct 15.-The first annual
report of Surgeon General Rixey shows
that the health of the navy and marine
corps was good throughout the past fiscal
year, the percentage OF sick and the death
rate being lower than for several years.
The most important recommendation of
the report, perhaps, is that Congress pro-
vide for the establishment of a woman's
nurse corps for the navy, to consist of one
superintendent nurse, eight head nurses,
sixteen first class and twenty-four second
class nurses, these numbers to be increased
at the discretion of the secretary The
surgeon general says: THAT women are
the superior of the men for the work of
nursing there can be no question. and the
objection that they are not compatible with
military conditions scarcely apply to
institutions of the character of our large
naval hospitals" The surgeon general also
makes a strong plea for the appointment
Of dentists for the navy, pointing out that
many otherwise good recruits for the navy
are lost for lack Of dental care.
