island of Guam, where the germ is
most prevalent, but it is not unknown
in the Philippines.
Mr. TheaIl has been defending a
young prognosticator of the navy who
was brought up before a court-mar-
tial at the Washington navy yard on
charges growing out of earelessnesS
with his accounts, and in order to
clear his client he cited official reports
and brought forward examples of Off
GERS who after service in Guam for a
year or more had been found to be
entirely untitled for duty.
Guam is the most isolated Of all the
American military stations in the far
east. A few naval and marine officers
and small detachment of marines
constitute the entire speaking
waiting that even the most ambitious
quickly succumb and lead a life Of irk-
some routine unembellished with out
side interests. The result is physical,
mental and sometimes moral deterio-
ration. Dozens Of young officers who
have had tour Of duty on the island
find themselves on their return to civ
ilization quite untitled to take up the
ordinary service to which they have
been accustomed. They are subject to
physical weakness and to mental de-
preston which makes them irreSpOn-
sible for their actions
Since Mr.. Theall has called public
attention to a condition which has
been understood for some time in the
service there is a proposition to re-
quire every officer relieved from serv-
ice in Guam to undergo special medi-
cal treatment before being detailed to
active duty elsewhere.

newly created brigadiers go out OF tie
service within the next 80 days there
will be left among the officers of the
army less than 100 of any rank what
ever who saw military service OF any
kind between 1861 and 1865.
Gen. Young, who will succeed Miles
as lieutenant general, and Chaffee, who
will succeed Young, both, it is true,
saw service in the civil war, but
without achieving distinction. Their
rank and reputation grew out of their
service in the war with Spain, and
later. Should Macarthur succeed
Chaffee he will be the last of the lieu
tenant generals with even remlnls-
cence of the struggle between the
states in his record. At best, Young.
Chaffee and Macarthur will remain in
the service only few years, and then
will come generation-most of whom
were babies when Miles, Schoield,
Sheridan, Sherman and Grant were
winning fame.
Nobody can tell yet whether Leon
ard Wood, who comes by regular pro-
motion to be major general, will in
due course of seniority rise TO the
higher rank upon MacArthur's retire
ment. but whether he does or not, the
lieutenant generalship will then fall
to some officer who is in no way
Woods superior in length of active
war service.

brilliant husband was chief
She was brilliant, brainy woman
with a mind as keen as razor's edge,
and if her tastes had run in the direc-
ton of politics-if she had been con-
sciously politician-it is hard to say
what she might not have achieved in
the great game which is continually
playing here in social life at the CAPT
tai.
But instead of a liking for politics
she cherished an aversion to it. Every
step in advance which James G. Blaine
took, while it gratifed her pride in
him, was source of regret to her in
that she saw herself constantly thrust
forward into a personal prominence
which was distasteful, and compelled
to combat the ever-groWing demand
that for political reasons she should
mingle with all sorts Of people in
whom she could not simulate an inter-
est. Combined with a seclusive tenn
per she had that most dangerous Of
accomplishments, quick wit and a
ready tongue. She resented and re-
sisted the curtailment Of individual
liberty which her husbands official
position was. constantly threatening.
When Blaine was secretary Of state
she made many enemies for both by
refusing to return the innumerable
calls made upon her on public recep-
! ton days-a practice which, silly as
it was, had grown to be regarded as an
official duty. She had to bear the
brunt of the criticisms for the limo
walton which subsequently all cabinet
women were forced to follow in self
protection. She made a bitter life
long enemy of the wife Of Benjamin
Harrison, who afterwards became mis-
tress of the white house by some cut
ting comment she gave utterance to
when both Blaine and Harrison were
in the senate; and that difference led
to the tragic candidacy Of Blaine for
the republican nomination in 1892 and
had much to do with the party cool
ness that resulted in Harrison's de-
! feat
She had her limited circle of friends,
close and devoted, but she entirely
lacked the insincerity that would have
led those for whom she did not care
to count her as their friend. Her last
years we're clouded with tragedy and
sorrow, and death came to her as
relief.

departments t Ci7rK'
three o'clock every Saturday after
noon, instead Of at four o'clock, as on
other days. Secretaries Root and
Moody discovered that the law pro-
vided that clerks should work seven
hours every day except Sundays and
holidays and, after mature delibera-
ton, they regretfully determined that
it was beyond their discretion to close
the war and navy departments early
on Saturday.
For day or two there was great grief.
Then some ingenious clerk bethought
himself OF a paragraph hidden away in
the new code of District Of Columbia
statutes adopted by congress two years
ago. That paragraph, in dealing with
negotiable instruments, declares that
besides the usually recognized holidays
the Fourth of July, Christmas, New
Years, Decoration day, Washington's
Birthday and Labor day-"every Sat
urday after II o'clock, noon" shall be a
holiday in the District of Columbia for
all purposes That was a poser for the
cabinet lawyers. They turned it over
to their own legal advisers to investigate,
and now the clerks who had expected to
be deprived of their extra hour once
week during the summer, are looking
forward to Saturday half holiday all
the year round.

What Was 1t?

Frairpoint, Miss, Aug. 3rd-One Of the
strangest cases ever reported occurred here
recently. The son of Mr.. G. l.. Butler was
very i'll. The doctor said he had some dis
ease of the spinal cord, and treated him for
two months, but he grew worse all the time,
and finally the doctor told Mr.. Butler that
he did not know what was the trouble.
The boy would wake up in the night and
say that he was dying. He would be nerv-
Gus and trembling and want to run out OF
the house, saying he saw ugly things which
frightened him.
His father was very much discouraged till
one day he saw new remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills advertised, and he at once
bought some and began to give them to his
boy.
He used altogether eight boxes before he
was entirely cured. He has not been
troubled since. Mr.. Butler says:
81 feel it my duty to tell what Dodd's Kid
ney Pills have done for my boy. All this
remedy needs is a fair chance and it will
speak for itself"

a sort growing too common in Iowa. 1t
involved the honor of a woman and the
question of her completely in her nus

flicting testimony AID theories of the
actual killing and the fact that the evil
dence against the defendants was en-
tirely circumstantiai, seemed INSULT
cient to justify conviction for a capital
crime. Livix and the Mcdaniel wom-
an are, therefore, free TO pursue their
paths in life separately or together as
their desires may drive them.
Their acquittal has not cleared them

There was not a place within blocks
of the school house where the children
could play with any degree of com
fort, while in the distance could be seen
the forest with its inviting shade. The
teacher had never heard of an arbor
day, but as the forests were too far
off to be available as a playground, she
decided to bring the shade to the school
house. She asked the board of educa-
ton to give a day so that the pupils
could go to the woods and get trees
and plant them in the school yard. The

several years.

that evening his last rays kissed the
leaves of about thirty young trees
which tossed their branches in the

which had not greeted him from that
place when he made his appearance in
the morning.
Each of the larger pupils were given
a tree to take care of, while several of
the smaller people united in caring for
certain trees. The next morning every
pupil came carrying a vessel III which
to bring water for the trees, and such
a miscellaneous array of tinware is sell

old teakettles, water pots, kettles, pots
and cans and strings for balls, all of

MR.. RoosEyELT,s OPPOSITION.

>Mhile Mr.. Roosevelt mas been tour
6dng the west there are ominous reports
from New York concerning opposition
among the Wall street interests to his
nomination as a presidential candidate.
II newspaper correspondents like Will
lam E. Curtis are to be credited this
opposition has assumed dangerous
shape as an organized movement to de-
feat his aspirations in New York.
Western politicians familiar with the
eastern situation are advising the pres
ident to attend to his fences IN New
York without delay. His hostility to
trusts and the vigorous enforcement OF
antitrust legislation foc which he is
responsible nave aroused the deter
mined applicability of the money kings.
The decision of the courts against the
Northern Securities merger has proved
a frost to dozens of great financial
schemes in process of promotion. All
this is charged against the president.
-Four years more of Roosevelt has an
alarming sound in the eE"S of the trust
magnates and the Wall street crowd.
There is little doubt that the efforts of
the trusts will be directed toward a
possible loss of the New York delega-
ton to Mr.. Roosevelt and probable OPP.
position after his nomination is accom-
plished as 1t will be. With Governor
Odell and Senator Plat supporting Mr..
Roosevelt. however, the trust OPPOSE
ton is likely to prove fruitless. Presi-
dent Roosevelt will remain president.
AS outlined in the news columns of this
newspaper yesterday, he will poll a
union labor vote greater than any re-
publican candidate has ever received.
The working people believe in Roose-
Welt because he believes in them. His
manliness in meeting labor fairly and
upon the ground of common citizenship

has appealed to the common people. His
his courage in the discussion of all pub
lie affairs have convinced even those
who differ from him iii political bias
that Roosevelt is a safe man to trust
with their interests. He will draw
from this class, prone to vote with the
democracy, a popular vote which it is
confidently predicted will prove n sur
prise and a record-breaker. Roosevelt
as a man will receive votes no politi-
clan could hope to poll.
Washington politicians are even now
figuring the western democratic vote as
a Roosevelt possibility. Mr.. Bryan,
while in no position to aspire to the
presidential nomination, lolds a Damo-
clean sword above the aspirations of
Mr.. Hill and other eastern democrats
who are convention possibilities. He
remembers, and remembering breathes
vengeance. There is likely to be Il re-
currence of the unique spectacle pre-
sented in 1896 when the gold democrats

free silver. This time, however, the
shield will be reversed and the free sill
Yer democrats administer the nauseous |
dose they were forced to swallow eight
years ago. The Bryan wing of the de-
mocracy will never support Hill or his
ilk. They will vote for Roosevelt whom
they like as a man and can trust as a
president. or organize a separate party
and vote for their own nominee. a d.
vision which would be equivalent to
half a vote for Roosevelt. Bryan's
have said all this openly and Mr..
Bryan has plainly limited it. Tammany
and Wall street seem to be partners in
