the visitor, advancing into the room.

But Andy did not move.

The visitor began to look indignant.

Charles A. Hathaway, of the Corn Ex-

Here Andy sat up straight in his
chair. The look of WEAKNESS and ex-

"And why shouldn't your" he
roared. "How do / know you are

You come over here and expect US to

dignity and slowly left the room.

ARMIES OF COMING TIMES.
ducing the Term of Compulsory
Service in Barracks.

The dispute of late raging in France
over the government proposal to re-
duce the term of compulsory service
in barracks to two years is one, as we
believe, Of extreme significance, says
the London Spectator. France being
at once the most military of nations
and the one most susceptible to new
ideas, her example is almost sure,
sooner or later, to persuade Europe;
and it seems almost certain that she
intends this example should be set.
The older generals, it is true, and
probably a majority of the officers,
are bitterly against the scheme. They
say that the French character is in
herently opposed to passive obedience,
end that it takes at least three years
TO bring the conscript to the neceS-
sary attitude of mind. He has not
the German habit of Difference toward
all who are legally entitled to give
orders. They doubt if he will remain
to be a noncommissioned officer, and
ask, with a persistence that rather dis
concerts the treasury, where, if the
sous officer is to be retained by higher
pay, the money is to come from.
They see that the socialist idea of
substituting the Swiss system Of
trained militia for that Of regular ar
mics gains ground yearly among the
peasantry, and they believe that it will
be directly promoted by the abolition
of exemptions, which will render the
entire cultivated class, who now, to
the number of 81 900, serve only for one
year, bitterly hostile to barrack life.
The consequence, they predict, will
be further general reduction to one
year, and then the adoption of the
Swiss system of an armed militia
trained as soldiers for six months only,
and though excellent for defense, USE
less for conquest, or, indeed, for any
work beyond the frontiers. The col
onies, they assert, under such a sys-
tenn must be given up, and the for
eign policy of France placed upon an
entirely new basis and directed to un-
thought-of ends. They fear, too, we
fancy though they keep back the
argument, that the soldiers. being less
of a caste, will be less willing to put
down rioters and that the populace
will regain that fright of revolt"
which has been so nearly extinguished
by the adoption Of scientific weapons.

COURT DRESS ABROAD.
Too Democratic to Conform
to Customs.

1t Is interesting to note that the
American ENJOYS to the coronation
wore court dress to the few formal
functions given in honor of the spe'
cial embassies in London before the
king was stricken down. And that
this fact created very little com
ment on this side of the water,
where the subject of court dress has
often been the subject of violent
storms. 1t was the general custom
with the early American diplomats
to wear court dress, and John
Quincy Adams, when secretary of
state, wrote TO the ministers abroad
commencing the use of the uniform
worn by the mission of Client, which
consisted of blue coat embroidered
IN gold, white breeches, white silk
stockings, gold knee and shoe buck
les, a small cooked hat with black
cockade, and sword, says the Wash
ington Post.
In Jackson's administration this
garb was changed for simpler and
cheaper suit; black coat with a gold
star on each side of the collar, black
or white breeches, a three-cornered
chapeaubras with black cockade, and
a gold eagle and a steel-mounted
sword with a white scabbard. This
costume, however, was not insisted
upon and not generally adopted, for
IN, 4ha4 do continent oQ1nGt
court dress had appeared and dur
ing Pierce's administration the sec
rotary of state, Mr.. Marcy, issued
circular recommending the appear
ance of the United States ministers
at court in the simple dress of an
American citizen. To this innova-
ton serious objections were raised
at the various capitals. The Swed-
ish king refused to receive the
American minister, Mr.. Schroeder, at
court except in court dress conform
able to established custom, although
he consented to receive him privately
or in audience for business in what
ever dress his government might
prescribe.
The American minister at Berlin
was informed that his majesty would
not receive him save in proper cos
tune, and Mr.. Bachasan, when MN
lister to England, was not allowed to
enter the diplomatic gallery OF par
lament because he refused to adopt |
court dress. H. s, Sanford, charge
d'affaires at Paris, lezigned his post
because his chief would not uphold
him in having presented himself at
court without court dress, and every
where il Europe dissension followed
the recefpt of the famous Marcy cir
cular, watch was oftener disregarded
than oheyed.
This inspired congress to pass
resolutieS in 1867 forbidding "any
uniform or official dress not pregi-
ously avAhorized by congress" Since
court dress is neither a uniform or
official costume, this act should not
have prevented the diplomats from
adopting court dress If they listed,
but until lately they remained faith
full to the simple dress suit and ac-
cepted with as much grace as pos
sible the amusement the garb in
spired and the irony it provoked.

NOT ALL HARMONY IN
CITIZENS CT UB RANKS.

In spite of the apparent serenity
in the political field because of the an
nouncements and assurances from those
who know that there will be no oppo-
sition to the Citizens Club, or any dis
sension in the ranks to the mayoralty
nominee of the club. there is oppo-
sition brewing, says the wise ones, to
what is expected will be the regular
nominees of the Citizen Club for the
aldermanic board.
The club is united on the nominee
for Mayor. as the Endorsements of the
different district clubs will evidence,
but considerable dissatisfaction is be-
ing expressed as to what it is presum-
ed by some on the inside, will be the
aldermanic slate made up by the gem
eral nominating committee of the Citf-
Zens Club. The dissatisfied ones say.
and they are not a few, that unless
their districts get what they consider
fair representation the representatives
to be chosen by the district organiza-
tions, there will be a split on the al
dermanic question and there will be
two aldermanic tickets in the field on
election day.
The particulars of this split is vet
to develop but if there are two alder
manic tickets the well informed say
that the election will not be a quiet
one.
