Mrs. Turchin.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: YOur ap-
peal in behalf of Mrs Turchin is timely
and most cOmmendable. A more loyal or
deserving woman does not exist, and il
seems passing strange that she should
now, in her old age, be neglected by the
Government her late husband struggled so
hard to sustain. Vale, in his history of
"Minty and the Cavalry" on page 1856,
says: Gen. Turchin as a division COM
mander of infantry proved a first-class Of
ticer, and especially distinguished himself
at Chickamauga. where he was danger
ously wounded. Mrs. Turchn, the wife
of the General. was with him at the front
during the advance on Chattanooga and
subsequent battles. When the General
was wounded and taken from the field
this heroic woman rode out TO the line Of
battle amid the storm of the fight and
passing along the division said: Boys, the
General cannot come back TO you today
but | think he will get well again. | want
you to remember today that he has been
shot The boys answered with cheers, and
Turchin's Division was not broken in that
battle. This incident gave rise TO the re-
port, widely circulated in the army, that
Mrs. Turchin took command of his divi-
sion after he was shot at Chickamauga.-

been authorized, but nothing has ever
been done TO start It,

started at Henderson. three at Nor
garfield and one each at Corydon,
Gravel Switch and Gave City. The
above are the only routes having the
date of Inauguration fixed. The de-

the pieces. That Of Miss Smith was
also badly mangled when knocked
from the trestle.
All possible aid was rendered the

Of men who are sometimes in office.

Of affairs, men who consi der the inter

not the interests Of part of the

lieves a majority of the taxpayers

that sewerage promotes it, yet no

people to connect with the sewerage,
tine only apparent reason being that q

The hack middle seems TO have
been settled. The railroad company
thought it was best for its patrons to
lease portion of the reservation near
the passenger depot platform to q
transfer company. and did so. That
is an affair that the city council has
nothing to do with. The property 90
cupied by the hacks and leased by the
railroad company, was the property Of
the railroad and not the city, and to
say that q railroad comdany has no
right to lease its own property is
sheer nonsense.

Constable Anderson Miller arrived

Braswell seems to be crazy but says
he is not. He wore when brought into

three shirts, and then thought 1t must
be a hot day outside.

The "Water Cure" Inquiry.
The senate committee on the Philip
pines during the day resumed the ex-
animation of witnesses In connection
with the investigation of affairs in the
Philippine Islands. Grover Flint OF
Cambridge, NHss., who served as first
lieutenant in the Thirty fifth volunteer
infantry, testified that early in May
1900 he had been witness to the IVA
ter cure'' as administered to the natives
by the Macabebe scouts and that TINS
| was done to get information as to the
whereabouts of their guns.
The witness then described the meth
I'D of administering the cure and said
that in some cases where Is was given
to old men he had seen their teeth fall
out.
Replying to a question by Senator
Lodge. the witness said that he has
been refused commission In the reg
ular army because his colonel had re-
ported him as using intoxicating liq-
uors to excess. The witness deplored
the raising Of this question, but Senator
Beyeridge said it had an important
bearing on the case. Flint denied that
on any of the occasions when he had
witnessed the "water cure" was he un-
der the influence Of liquor. He insisted
that he was not drunk. but had been a
careless drinker. He had, he said, re-
!. leased several men who did not ap-
pear to him to be insurrectos.
Says Geary Didn't Interfere.
He testified that Major Geary of his
regiment was always near, but had MOI
Iinterfered in the administration or the
( cure, simply assigning commissioned
o officer to see that the men did not q
y too far.
y After considerable questioning n
- finally admitted that he approved o

TO RESTRICT DIVORCES.
The New Code of Law for the District
of Columbia Goes Into
Effect

Radical change in the matter of di-
vorce proceedings is feature of the
new code of laws for the District of
Columbia, which was passed at the
last session of congress and went
into effect the first of the year. The
new law prohibits the granting of di-
vorce except for intidelity, divorces
no longer being procurable for de-
sertion, drunkenness, cruelty and
other offenses formerly recognized as
valid ground for legal separation.
There is considerable change also
in the practice before justices of the
peace, the city being divided into ten
districts, with one salaried justice in
each district. in place of the former
feed officers, whose locations were
not to any considerable extent gov
erned by geographical distinctions.
The code is not a complete body of
laws for the government of the Dis
trict, the old Maryland statutes, the
common law and the statutes of the
United States applicable to the Dis
trict and acts of congress relating
to the District remaining in force ex-
cept where inconsistent with the new
body of laws.
