CHIEF OF STAFF.

The law in reference to the com mand of the army went into effect August b. Secretary Root in issu- ing an order in reference to the duty of chief of staff says:
 "Under the act of February l4, l9D}. the command of the army of the United States rests with the constitu- tional commander-in-c chief, the presi- dent. The president will place the parts of the army and separate armies whenever constituted under command CTS, subordinate to his general com mand; and in case of exigency, seem ing to hIm to require it, he may place the whole army under a single commander, subordinate to him, but in time of peace and under ordinary conditions the administration and the control of the army are effected with out any second in command.
 ''The presidents command is exer- cised through the secretary of war and chief of staff. The secretary of war is charged with carrying out the pOli- cies of the president in military affairs. He directly represents the president, and is bound always to act in conformity to the presidents in- structions. Under the law and the decisions of the supreme court, his acts are the presidents acts. "

 The Journal Miner is informed to- day by Rev. Lewis Halsey, that the papers announcing Ohio as the native state of Chaplain Scott, are in error. He says the chaplain IS a native of New York state and served during the four years of the civil war with the l26th New York, and was captain of company c of tbat regiment.

SEWING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

An effort was made last winter to secure manual training department in the public schools, for the benefit of the boys more particularly, but the efforts failed. The progressive ten dency of the age at present is to edu- cate boys and girls in the practical duties and affairs of life, as we'll as to develop and cultivate their minds, and to prepare and fit them for life's realities. Manual training is spe- cially adapted to fit the case of boys though it may prove advantageous to girls as we'll.
 In the larger cities the practical duties which devolve upon women, as housekeepers are now taught in many of the public schools such as sewing and cooking.
 Through the generosity of a prog ressive and philanthropic lady of Prescott the public schools of this city will be provided during the next school year, with a sewing depart ment, where the girls will be taught the art of cutting and sewing. The lady in question is Mrs. Hugo Rich ards, who yesterday informed Prof. B. D. Billinghurst that if he would secure a thoroughly competent in structor in the art of cutting and sew ing for the public schools she would pay the salary, and the professor hopes to be able to secure such a teacher and have all preparations made for installing her in her work by October 1. This action on the part of Mrs Richards is certainly a most noble and generous one, and one which will bring it's reward to the donor, from the satisfaction afforded of having been able to do something for the practical benefit of her sex. It is practical philanthropy, the highest and best type of philan- thropic action, helping a fellow be- ing to help himself or herself. and preparing one for successfully meet ing and performing the practical du- ties of life. Citizens of Prescott are to be congratulated on the generous spirit shown by Mrs. Richards as il enables them to add a a-practical and useful department to their public schools, one which will prove a great benefit to the women of the immediate future, and it will give the city the distinction of being the first in the territory to add such a department.

The little double sheet dodger which carries the label newspaper" on it, takes occasion to compliment the Journal Miner by calling its editor Caesar. Really its editor Is too mod est to accept the title as Caesar was a great orator. History says that as a writer Caesar has never been sur passed, and rarely equaled in sim plicity and vigor of style and in the truthfulness with which he narrates events" " That's "rs," probably, as viewed from the standpoint of the
 'dodger, and we make our most profound bow for the compliment, to- gether with that other one which says the telegraph report of this paper really looks fairly good" and there is danger of GALL getting onto you, 7" (meaning us). From the way they are piling in to order the paper it does begin to look as if "all" will be taking it very soon. It would be an act of base ingratitude were a men tion of the above little courtesies and an expression of their appreciation overlooked.

Settled It With Fists.

A LynX creek and Groom creek miner had a disagreement today on Montezuma street and by mutual con sent walked down Montezuma street and to the north side of the railroad track where they settled it with their fists, attracting crowd of about forty people to witness the scrap. In the first round Groom Creek aimed an upper cut at Lynx creeks jaw, but hit the atmosphere about three inches in front of it. Lynx creek then swung a right hook around Groom creeks neck. and Groom creek followed suit with left hook around Lynx creek. While embracing each other in an ap- parently affectionate manner, Groom creek used his right on Lynx creek s face with short jabby punches which lacked steam. The referee tried to break them apart and in doing so both went down with Groom creek on top. and Lynx creek kept boring in the best he could. Another attempt of the referee to release their respect i've holds ami persistent effort on the part of Lynx creek to change po sitions, resulted in a roll over, leaving Lynx creek on top, when he settled down to active business, resulting in the referee throwing up his hat, as an indication that Groom creek was more than satisfied. The latter was blood jed considerably about the face while Lynx creek escaped without mark, as far as could be seen from the spec tators gallery on the railroad bridge, and grade.
 The trouble is said to have origin ated about the labor question but the exact nature of it could not be learn ed. as it was stated both belong to the Miners union.

Prosecuting Attorney Folk of St. Louis is a thorn in the side of dem- ocracy. He not only prosecutes the boodlers but he is arousing public sentiment against them. In recent speech at Palymra, Missouri, he said : "The people of Missouri are confront ing the gravest crisis in the history of the state. Will the people take the government into their own hands or will they permit further opportun- ity for plundering? If corruption is ever to be annihilated in the state it must be done now.
