!: Social Corner.
Observation-Disclosures

1 a,gE
Social doings seem to be between the
| ebay and, grass" seasons Of ThanksgH-
ing and Christmas. Everybody IS pies
pairing for the good time coming and the
very air is full of the secrets which will
prove the glad surprises of the Christ
mas tide. The holiday time promises
much for this corner and until then we
will keep the secrets, like all the rest are
doing. :,
Christmas shoppers, particularly town
people. should endeavor to make tneil
purchasers early; for two good reasons.
First, they will get better choice and bet.
ter service; second, the weather may be
bad. There is another reason for the
married folks; each of the couple should
get around early and let the merchant
know what they prefer as present from
the otner-the merchant will do the rest
and save family complications. The
women are poor judges Of cigars and the
men are equally unfortunate as to dry
goods.
The stores are bright with all sorts 70
Christmas goods. 1t is pleasure to go
in and see the displays and watch the
customers choosing their gifts, which In
turn are to add so much pleasure to the
recipients. Is there Il Santa Claus? There
are some people who doubt it. If you
are one OF these unfortunate people. and
we hope you are not, you are missi " a
great deal OF Jun in this world. There is
real Santa to everybody who makes
one. And there is no other labor brings
so great returns. OF al the happy peo
pie in this word at Christmas time there
are none happier than Santa himself, and
it is possible for you to become Santa
yourself. A lew dollars-even a few
cents-spent at the stores-in the right
direction, and II you are not sure of the
direction the storeman will tell you-will
bring the greatest amount of interest on
any investment you ever made. Try it
and if not true charge the amount to the

James T, Powers, that well-known Daly comedian and famous Flipper of "A Runa- way Girl," has in his time played many parts, but he Is this season to make his maiden debut in the role of a sailor. T am practicing my role@-and my roll,'' he said yesterday to someone who questioned him In regard to the orthcoming produc- tion of A Princess of Kensngton" at the Hyperion Theater on Thursday evening, to come to a nautical role was his dancing of the hornpipe ill one of his Messenger Boy ditties. It may be that he has been seeking character color in his yachting trips off Newport recently: especially since he confesses to a slight distrust of all sailing craft.

APPOINTMENT OF GEN. WOOD.

Why it Ought to Be Challenged in the
 -., Senate. &, r. F
 Now we do not doubt General Wood is an able man, with charm of manner and other ingratiating traits, but what has he done to deserve this high military rank. or to qualify himself for the duties which it involves? His service as an army surgeon made him so. far familiar with military life and methods that when he was appointed colonel of volunteers he was doubtless much bet ter qualiaed for the place than were most militia officers or civil appointees. But to be colonel of volunteers is one thing, and to be a major-general in the regualr army with 20 years to serve is very much another. A major general let alone a t-general-should be of proved abilities as fighting man; but not for any considerable service as a fighting man have Gen Woods suc- cessive promotions come. He certainly has not fought his way up; it is dis puted whether he has even worked his way up. Men well qualified to form an opinion insist that by the favor of the late president he was passed rapidly over the heads of many officers whose qualification were superior to his and their services much more distinguished. Well, then,'' say the protestants, "turn about is fair play Gen Wood was jumped over the heads of more deserv- ing men. Why not now have a%cam- parison of recent records. B. Why should not such officers as Franklin Bell, Tasker H. Bliss. Joseph F: Sanger,
