AN ANN MARTYR.


A GOOD MANY PEOPLE have been
4 sorry the Ann puzzle was invented.
but none is sorrier than r. NJ. oliver.
a Kansas school teacher. Mr.. oliver
according to a dispatch. is threatened
with dismissal by bis board Of trustees
because OF Ann. He has appealed to
the county superintendent to save him,
but in all probability be VIII lose his
position, especially If the superintend-
ent disagrees with him on the Ann
question.
1Ir. oliver was one OF the FIRST to get
busy finding AIMS age. He figured it
out for one Of his classes, both by
arithmetic and by algebra. getting the
same result, is years, both ways. When
the children went home that night they
told their parents about Ann. At least
one of them did. The father Of this
pupil is a school trustee. a position
which, Of course, qualities him to solve
any knOtty mathematical problem as
well as to pass on the qualifications Of
teachers.
This trustee did some figuring him
self. He found that AIMS age was u
years. That settled it. Ann couldn't
be anything but u years cid, because
the figures We're there to prove it. The
trustee called his brother trustees to-
gether and succeeded In proving to
them that AIMS age was u years. The
teacher, therefore, was mistaken. Like
wise the teacher was an idiot absolute
" unqualified to teach anybody's chill
dren. The trustees requested the teach
err to retract or resign. The stubborn
man refused to do either.
Now the trustees say he is incom-
petent, pig-headed and ignorant be-
cause he insists that Ann is Is years
old. At the end of this month they
declare they win discharge him, thus
making at least one martyr to Ann.
Unless the superintendent is willing and
able to intervene successfully, Mr. oil
yer viii have to search out some district
where everybody believes Ann is

e EVEN PER CENT Of the enlisted
- men in the regular army deserted
during the last official year. Nearly
5000 more were dishonorably discharged
from the service. The total Of deser-
tions and dishonorable discharges was
1874. That IS, more than one man in
every ten either deserted or was dis
honorably discharged. The record isn't
particularly gratifying. Some writer's
who have given the subject careful
study are of the opinion that the abo-
lition Of the post canteen is almost en-
tirely responsible for the existing con-
dition.
The Herald has always believed that
q mistake was made when the post can
teen was abolished. and it believes the
canteen should be re-established but
we do not believe all the assertions
end discharges can properly be charged
against the anti-canteen law. One
point in this connection that has not
been touched on. as far as our obserya-
ton goes, is this: May It not be true
that a large number of inexperienced
officers added 70 the army rolls as a
result Of the increase in the regular
establishment has something TO do with
the assertions and dishonorabIe dis
charges2
You cannot take a man from behind
a ribbon counter and make a good
army officer out Of him in a few weeks
or a few months. A man may have all
the political influence that is worth
Ger. 1t is quite probable that the
healthy disgust some officers inspire
in their men-men who are often su-
perior mentally and morally to their
commanders-has much to do with de
7ertions and the breaches OF discipline
THAI result In dishonorable discharges
Colonel W. G. Church. writing in an
eastern publication on Increasing De-
sertions and the Army Canteen." is in
clined, we think, TO attribute too many
OF the evils from which the army euf-
fers TO the canteen's absence. But in
most of his premises he is right. Espe-
cially is he right when he says that the
canteen never did promote intemper-
ance; that. on the other hand, it had
tendency to promote temperance among
the enlisted men. Beer only was sold
i'm the Canteeus and no man was al
lowed to spend more than Is cents
Gay for it. ii is difficult to see how a
soldier can become very much addicted
to the use of intoxicants on Il cents
worth Of beer, OF three glasses. q day.
Colonel Church's assertion that there
is altogether too much outside inter-
ference in army affairs win be general
ly endorsed. There is too much med
ding by people who have no under
standing Of the subject. on this point
Colonel Church well says.
ITO have an efficient army we must
have a contented army. If our sol
diers are not contented. they viii either
desert or refuse to re-enIist. and we
shall lose the advantage Of continuous
training. To make our army contented
we must leave it to the control Of those
who understand the soldier and who
are earnestly seeking TO improve the
conditions Of the service. The two
ranking officers OF our army. Lieuten-
ant General Young and Major General
Chaffee, marched into the army with
muskets on their shoulders. and they.
and others like them. should certainly
be competent to decide what is best for
the enlisted men"

CURED five days after the PRONUNCIATION
Of the Independence Of the republic. He
made a vigorous defense of the admin

Hit, had not been precipltate, but had
waited reasonable time. From an
Associated Press dispatch published
yesterday. Mr.. Hit may think we
ought to consult an oculist but we fail
to see any valid defense Of the presi-
dent in the excerpt quoted. It simply
convicts the executive OF acting with
unparalleled haste in a matter to which
he should have given calm. deliberate
and thoughtful consideration.

have said that the habitual user OF ci-
garettes Inevitably brings about decay
of mental and physical powers. that It
leads to an early grave, that st does no
possible good to anyone, and therefore
must do a visible amount Of harm.

ONE "oURE" that FAILED.

ONE OF THE STORIES Of a cure"
- that failed. the stories that so
rarely get into a newspaper, comes
from Paris. Tt has to do with the Mar
morek cure for consumption. A
scientist by the name Of Marmorek in
vented a serum of some kind which he
claimed would absolutely cure con-
sumption. no matter how far advanced
i'm the disease the patient might be.
On what foundation he based his the
DRY the story does not make clear. but
in practice the cure" worked out bad
Seven cases treated by the Marmorek
method are reported by Prof. DieuIa-
foy Of Paris. -Four were treated for
pulmonary tuberculosis. two for pull
monary and laryngeal tuberculosis and
one for a pleural phase OF the maIady.
Under the supervision Of Prof Dieula-
foy, DR.. Marmorek made injections OF
his serum daily, in doses according to
his own judgment. Five Of the patients
died at the end Of few weeks. The
other two are in worse condition than
at the beginning. The completeness Of
the failure is attested by the report OF
Prof. Dieulafoy, who says:
First the serum did not appear to
have any favorable action on the fever
ish condition Of the patients.
Second, the serum did not seem to
have any favorable action on expector-
alton.
Third, the serum had no favorable
action no the tuberculosis LESSONS.
Finally, patients become thinner un-
der the treatment, despite extra nour-
ishment"
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
Marmorek cure" will not be generally
used in this or any other country.
