nastic exercises would not be possible
in the open air.
Owing to the abundance of vigorous
exercise, sound food, clean baths and
quarters, busy life ar3 wholesome re-
straint the health of sile cadet is su-
perb. The effects are noticeable upon
boys of all ages, the strongest and the
weakest.
Great care is taken as to sanitary ar
rangements and the health of cadets. A
regular surgeon is employed and reg
ular hospital maintained, for it is inn
portant, not only to take care Of the
sick, but to train nurses. Whenever
boy is unfit for duty, or reported i'll, he
is sent to the hospital and put under
the charge of the school physician. 1t
is thus impossible for him to feign ILL
ness on the one hand or suffer neglect
on the other.
The total amount expended at the in
stitute for fixtures and furniture some
what exceeds $4,000. The institute
barracks are of brick trimmed with red
sand stone, three stories, with grey
stone basement the four floors all ligh-
ted by gas, heated by steam, with hot
and cold water on every floor, perfect
fire apparatus throughout the building,
lavatories and baths, modern water
closets and complete system of water
works and sewerage. The regents dur
ing 1899 built and furnished, in addi-
ton, an excellent 10-room dormitory
and a broom residence. In the sum
mer of 1900 they erected a large build
ing for gymnasium purposes, which on
account of pressure for accommoda-
tions was partitioned off and used as a
dormitory. This building has reverted
to it's original purpose, having been fit
ted up with modern apparatus.
The school rooms and section rooms
are on the first floor and are furnished
with best adjustable chair-desks and
folding seats.
The furnishings of the cadets bed
rooms are substantial and well adapt
ed to their needs. Each student has a
first class iron bedstead and mattress;
each room two beds, table, chairs,
wash stand, etc. There are no large
dormitories where several dozen sleep
and live together; two students are put
into a room. There are 80 bed rooms in
the main building, four in the gymna-
SUM building, ten in the large cottage
and five in the residence proper.
Besides the barracks and residence
are the power house, gas plant, a 10000
gallon water tank, the 6-acre parade
ground and ample space for exercise
and recreation. The grounds, which
embrace 40 acres of level land, have
been planted with trees and set in Ber-
muda grass.
The New Mexico Military Institute is
the property of the territory, built and
maintained by the people. 1t has moth.
ing to do with political parties or religi.
Gus denominations. While the general
moral welfare of the cadets is looked
after, it is both unjust and unwise te
risk bringing the school under politica
or sectarian influences, however good in
themselves, because in such matters the
people differ very widely, and the lnsti
tute belongs to the whole people.
The military work In no wise inter
feres with the regular academic work,
on the contrary it is great help; 1t ex'
pedites the moving of classes, insures
prompt and regular attendance both
upon the class room and upon the even
ing study hall.

Incendiaries are becoming too
frequent in the city. 1t seems te the
Progress that something should be
done to stop it if everybody has to be
pressed into service. 1t is well
known fact that when q people feels
that it has been outraged, that its
property has been unwantenedly
destroyed, there is natural desire
for revenge, anu hence the organiza-
ton of vigilant committees. Hat
tiesburg does not want anything OF
the kind, still it wants and demands
that these firebugs be punished and
their work stopped.

Let the officers of Hattiesburg do
their duty and keep the Migrants OF
the streets. Nearly all the crimes
committed in this city are traceable
to the vagrant. Every negro or
white man who is out of employment
and would not work if work was
offered him is a vagrant. He has an
idle brain and an idle brain is the
devils workshop. A man who has
neither his mind nor his hands em-
ployed is studying devilment and
should be taken in by the city Of
flcers. The negro arrested last night
charged with committing an assault
on Mrs. Gardner admitted that he
was a Ioafer and had loafed around
this city and other places in the
county for some time. There Is

rested some time ago according

IF

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Picayune, is eminently correct il
some Of it's statements, but it throws
cold water on the following editorial
by starting off with the wcrd if.
When a writer starts off with if, he
there AMI then spoils everything.
However what is produced here
from tn Picayune is good with the
if Topped off:
If the democratic party were wise
and could be induced to lay aside its
factional differences for a season
there seuld be an excellent chance
of winning a decisive victory at the
polls IN November next. Even as it
is, there is bare possibility of de-
priving the republicans of the con-
troll of the House of Representatives
in the next Congress.
The republicans are much split up
and divided on many important
issues. The party is no longer unit
ed on the question of expansion and
imperialism, and the revelations in
connection with the conduct of the
war IN the Philippines have greatly
shaken the fealty Of the rank and
file, while the independent voters all
over the country are prepared to
attest their disapproval by voting
against the dominant party, unless
they are driven back into the re-
publican ranks by revival Of the
silver question or some other equally
radical action.
The republicans are also-divided on
the subject of the tariff, an impor-
tant section OF the party favoring re-
vision, while the balance still cling
20 h;gl tariff and strict protective
system. Then, again, the strenuous
ness Of the present occupant Of tho
white house Is a serious strain OF
party fealty. Many of the leaders
are at outs with the president, ant
but poorly conceal their chagrin a
his course. All these subjects of dis
content viii be sure to breed luke
warm support at the coming elec
tions, if it does nothing more.
One of the latest evidences of dis
union within the republican ranks il
the quarrel which has arisen among
the Ohio republicans. Soserious ha
this quarrel become that Representa-
tive Burton, the chairman Of tn
rivers and harbors committee. ha
announced that he will not be can
didate for reelection at the comini

The Battle Of the Crater.

Capt. McCarty, late of the Thir-
teenth Ohio cavalry, has a very valu-
able book, in which is a vivid descrip.
ton of the fight at the crater in front
of Petersburg. in which his regiment
took part and which lost heavily. The
regiment participated in a great many
of the battles in which the Eastern
army was a factor. but none was more
bloody or more fruitless in results
than the battle of the crater.
II followed Immediately upon the ex-
plosion Of a mine by the Union forces,
but when the troops charged into the
breach It was found that the Confed-
crates had known of the diggings of
the mine and just where It was To-
Gated, had formidable works just to
the rear of it, and met our charging
troops with a concentrated fire which
no body Of men could stand before and
live. The description is written by
Howard Ashton Of GAINESVILLE.

He Got the Oysters.

This good story is told on a certain
captain of the old Fourteenth Massa-
chusetts when they were stationed
here in Washington.
The aforesaid captain was somewhat
noted for his love for good things
gastronomic, and one day dispatched
one of his "live Yankees" off to Alex
andria to get some fresh oysters, CIV
ing him instructions not to return
without the bivalves. The man went
off and no more was seen OF him for
several days. The indignant and dis
appointed captain reported him as
deserter and gave him up as lost
child" But after lapse of nine days,
Bailey, for that was his name, came
into camp, leading train of four
horse wagons loaded with oysters. APP
preaching and respectfully saluting
the amazed and speeches. captain.
Bailey said:
Here are your oysters, captain
Couldn't find any in Alexandria, so
chartered a schooner and made voy'
age to Fortress Monroe and Norfolk
for them. There's about 200 bushels
where do you want 'em?"
Bailey did really make the trip
hired his men, sold oysters enough In
Georgetown before reporting" to pay
all expenses and leave him profit oil
about 500. The 200 bushels were d.
vided among the regiment, and Bailey
returned to his duty.
Soldiers and citizens in Washington
made good money in those days trad
ing in oysters and everything to eat
and Bailey was not the only soldier
who made such expeditions down the
river

An UnweIcome Kiss.

There could scarcely be found a
more demonstrative expression OF
gratitude on the part of the freed
southern slaves for the service rem
dered them by the Federal soldiers
than that related with mixed feelings
of sadness and amusement by vet
eran attending the encampment. 1t
occurred at Norfolk, Va, soon after
the close of hostilities. The volunteer,
then a young man. was strolling
through the streets when his uniform
caught the eye of black nanny"
She uttered a cry of delight and over
taking the soldier asked excitedly,
For de Lord, Massa, is you one of
dem men what done sot us free?" The
soldier admitted that he was, when
without further ado the enthusiastic
nanny threw her fat arms about him
and pressed her black lips against his
bronze cheek in one resembling smack.
At first the military man was so taken
back that he hardly knew what to do.
but II is sad to relate that the course
which he finally followed was not a
fitting return for the affection which
had been lavished upon him.

Military Surgeons.

The Spanish war has brought In its
train a vast number of momentous
problems for solution by the military
surgeons of the United States. Co
operation is essential to the accom-
rlishment of the task. Deployed all
along the advancing line of civiliza-
ton, the medical officers of the goth
century are less than ever in touch
with one another, and less than ever
accessible to the inspiration of one
another's progress. The difficult but
Indispensable work of combining CO.
operation with this unavoidable isola-
ton is one of the functions Of the
Association of Military Surgeons of
the United States, which, by its pub
locations, will afford to its members
the most recent information upon the
work done, not only by its national
services in foreign stations, but upon
the auxiliary work of the state forces
and the national bodies at home.

Can Spiders Ely?

1t is a common notion that spiders
can fly, and many people will aver
that they have seen them fly over a
piece of water from a flower in the
center. What happens is really this:
Suppose a spider to have been blown
by a gust of wind to a plant growing
in the middle of brook; there 1t is a
prisoner, and, like all prisoners, anx-
ious to escape How is it to get across
the surrounding water in order to
reach dry land? 1t sets to work to
construct balloon; this will not be
of the orthodox shape, but it will be
an aerial vehicle that will take the
insect to land. The spider spins sew
eral threads and connects them, all
the while taking care to keep this web
attached to the plant, so that it shall
not float away. The insect labors till
it thinks the balloon strong enough
to bear the weight, then tries it. If
not strong enough, the work OF con-
struction Is continued. When the
balloon is completed the spider places
itself firmly. on or in it, breaks the
rope" that has held the flying ma
chine captive all the time, and is
waited away to land. When the dis
lance is short the spider makes line
composed of a few threads, and waits
till strong puff of wind blows it out
straight. Then the insect trips along
it and tumbles on land.
