AN ABUNDANCE OF ADMIRALs.
No Less Than Five Will Take Part in
the Maneuvers,

''Never since the civil war" said a naval
officer to a Star reporter, 'have so many
flag officers served together as will be the
case in the naval maneuvers in the Carib-
bean sea early next month. The occasion
will revive for time the unusual terms of
Admiral of the Red" Admiral of the
White" and Admiral of the Blue" once
50 common in the early days OF the Brit
ish navy. This combination of titles by
color will be due to the presence Of Ad-
mfral Dewey In supreme command; Rear
Admiral Higginson, commanding the North
Atlantic squadron; Rear Admiral Sumner
commanding the South Atlantic squadron
Rear Admiral Crowninshield, commanding
the European squadron, and Rear Admiral
Coghlan. commanding the Caribbean divis-
ion of the North Atlantic squadron.
Admiral Dewey will hoist the four-starred
flag of blue of full admiral: Rear Admiral
Higginson the senior officer Of his grade
will also fly blue flag. but it will contain
only two white stars; Rear Admiral Sum-
ner, the next in rank, will show a red flag
with two white stars, and Rear Admire Is
CroWninshield and Coghlan, the two junior
officers, will each hoist a white flag with
two blue stars, and the only thing to show
that Rear Admiral Coghlan is the baby
admiral of the feet will be the display of
his flag from the mizzenmast of his flag
ship instead of from the regulation place
These distinctive flags will be employed
only whom the flag officers are together in
one command. When the maneuvers are
ended and the squadrons resume their for
mer independent organization the three
subordinate rear admirals will haul down
their flags Of red and white and fly the blue
flag with the two stars Of the commands

The Age Of Criminality.
rom the London Chronicle

rroIn tne DonuOn chronicle.
With reference to New York's special DO
lice court for childish offenders, 1t Is note
worthy that both British and American
law fix the same age of criminality. In de-
fiance of theology the legal codes of all ma
lions regard man as sinless by birth. Be-
fore attaining a certain age he is regarded
as incapable Of crime. In England and
America this age Is seven years, and be-
fore this a child cannot be prosecuted. After
Its seventh birthday child Is accounta BILE
for Its deeds, but if under fourteen the
prosecution must show that he was acting
with criminal intent. The same age of
crimnality Is held in Russia and Portugal
In France and Belgium a child must be
eight years old before being prosecuted. In
Italy and Spain further year of grace is
accorded. In Norway, Greece, Austria, Dem
mark, Holland and Switzerland the age is
ten; me little German can play pranks
with impunity until twelve years old, while
IN Sweden no prosecution Is allowed when
the offender is under sixteen

Marine Achievements That Promise

From the American Shipbuilder.
The forthcoming German steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm H. the English steamer Cedric and
the two American stemers building at New

They are triumphs of inventive skill In
which all the world can rejoice. It is diff

analogous performances ashore. 1t is not
unreasonable to expect within q decade
that even less than five days may be
achieved by ships constructed for record
breaking The undertaking is. however, q
gigantic assailing of mechanical difficulties,
for it must be remembered that the power
required increases in the ratio OF the cube
of the speed, or, more plainly, to double the
speed demands eight times the original
power. But power means weight of ma
chinery and of fuel, and, as these affect
displacements which In turn affect speed,
some idea may be gained of the formidable
proportions assumed by every attempt to in
crease speed and overcome resistance. Still,
the remarkable results achieved by the as

weight, the sacrifice of strength by the use
of superior materials, careful treatment OF
details and avoidance of forms which are
heavier but not stronger, will assist in the
solution of the problem. Herein lies one
of the keys to the mystery, and here must

The Open Air Cure.
From the Hartford Courant.


Fifteen Indiana consumptives have re-

Indianapolis News as intending to try the
open-air cure this winter-to live and sleep
out of doors. One of them, Robert e. Da-
Wis of Derby, moved his bed out on his
front porch Overlooking the Ohio river the
9th of January and slept out during the
coolest nights last winter" A few are hav-
ing one-room frame cabins, open on one
side, built for them. Many who have been
sleeping out through the summer and fall
are now moving indoors, but intend to
leave their bed room windows open. Never

Adams Birthday,
rom the London Daily Chronicle.

From the London Daily Chronicle.
October % Is Adams birthday. &c. at
least, October % used to be regarded till
the higher critics came to upset things.
Theologians of the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries wasted much scholarship
in efforts to settle both the manner and the
date of creation. DR.. John Lightfoot. vice
chancellor of Cambridge, q Hebrew scholar
of European reput alton. published a state
ment to the effect that, after years Of re-
search, he had succeeded in discovering the
precise moment when the earth rose out Of
chaos" and man made his appearance upon
It. This learned divine declared that
heaven and earth, center and circumfer-
ence, were created all together, in the same
instant, and clouds full of water" and that
this work took place and man was created
by the Trinity on October %. 4004 B. c., at
o. clock in the morning.

GENERAL BRAGG.

Altogether TOO much has been made
OF the private letter which General
Bragg is said to have written to a
member of his family at Fond du Lac
a phrase of which through female gos-
sip got into print. Neither the Uni
ted States government nor the Cuban
government should constitute itself
smelling committee TO investigate
the correspondence OF a public officer
With his wife
If line or two from such letter
leaks out and is printed it should be
quietly ignored. No other course is
consistent with justice and with the
sense Of dignity becoming the repre-
sentative OF any government.
It is probable that the publication
which was intended to embarrass
General Bragg was incited by his per
sonal or political enemies The Popu
lists of Wisconsin, we're inspired with
hostility to General Bragg by his open
fight against the Endorsement of theiI
principles by the Democrats which he
maintained from 1896 onward.
Perhaps some Republicans who
thought that they ought TO have re
ceived the appointment of consul tc
Havana were glad to make a noun
tain out OF mole hill, hoping thai
General Bragg would be removed and
give the ma chance. In either case
whether the attack came from dis
gruntled Populists or disgruntled Re
pnblicGns- it should receive no offieia
notice either from the United States
or Cuban authorities.
