representative of the company,
will form their opinion of the way
its affairs are managed on their
intercourse with you.
Civil and courteous treatment
aud proper recognition of the right
of the public are most valuable
capital in trade for railroad COM
pany, and you are earnestly re-
uuested to keep these considera-
tions constantly before you in your
intercourse with the patrons of
this company.
The company wishes to main
tain a reputation second to no line
in the United States for fair deal
ing and courteous treatment, and
your cooperation in whatever di-
rection your duties may lie is ear
nestly requested.
G. Ii. Markham,
President.
In the stations of those lines
and at other prominent places
there will be posted the following
notice, showing that there is dis
position upon the part of the COM
pany to enforce the rules and in
viting the public to assist them to
such determination:
To the Public:
Although employees are instruc-
ted as to their relations with the
public, and civility and courtesy
, are enjoiued, it may occasionally
happen that these instructions are
, forgotten or ignored. The man
, agement will be glad to have at
tention called to uncivil or dis.
courteous treatment suffered 10y
, patrons in transacting their bust
ness with the company, the iufor
: nation will be of material assis
: lance in placing responsibility anc
: in improving the service, and vii
' at all times be most gratefully re
ceived.
C.. III. Markham
In connection with the issuanc'
, of these circulars Mr.. Markham
states that heads of department.
: have been requested to take ad
vantage of every favorable oppor
. tunity to invite criticism from pa
irons of matters pertaining to re
lation Of company's employees t,
its patrons. to the end that civil
I ty and manifestation of a DISPOSE
, ton on the part of each employt
= to go out of his way to impart in
| formation to inquiring patron
shall be the rule and not the ex
ception.
"The attention of our employees,
said Mr.. Markham, has been call
: ed to the fact that passenger con
ductors, ticket agents and baggage
men present more points of con
. tact with the public than all othe
!, employers combined; that the gen
eral condition of the public min,
towards railroads is largely deter
mined by result of contact wit
the employees named, and that tn
company will expect that its EN-
ployes shall sustain the same rela
/, ton to the company's patrons a
the salesman in store is expecte
to sustain toward his employ
customers, and that pleasan
, manner in dealing with the publ
will be regarded as one of the mos
valued assets"

Secretary Of War Amends Long
Established Rules at West
Point Military Academy.
FOR GOOD OF DISCIPLINE.
Students Always Have INDUCED
in the Luxury in Secret and
Colonel Mills Desires TO
Correct the Habit.
The Republic Bureau.
18th ST. and Pennsylvania Ave.


Washington. Sept. 1-Advices from
West Point state that the rules Of the
military academy have been so amended
that the cadets may smoke On Fridays
parade an order was published announcing
that, Cadets are permitted to use tobac-
co during relief froIn quarters within the
barracks limits. 1t was also announced
that cadets would be permitted TO buy
tobacco and pipes from the post store.
The order came as a complete surprise
TO everybody at the academy. except
Colonel Mills. the commandment. 1t was
the result Of a recommendation made by
Colonel NILS TO the Secretary of War a
month or more ago.
For twenty-five years no restriction up
on the freedom Of the cadets has been
more irksome than the prohibition of the
use Of tobacco. 1t was impossible 10 en-
force the rule. Smoking on the sly has
been the practice of almost every cadet
in the academy throughout his course.
Most Of it has been cigarette smoking.
The penalty for being caught smoking
cigarettes Or any other form OF tobacco,
has varied with the superintendent of the
academy. Under Colonel Mills the penal
= has been six extra hours of duty. Ev-
ely time a cadet has been cauSht smoking
he has had to walk with a gun On his
shoulder for two hours a day for six days
in the hours which he would otherwise
have had for his recreation. He has also
received from FIVE 10 seven dement's en-
his record.
L was the opinion of the superintendent
and Of other members of the faculty that
a coed deal less harm would come from
the free use Of tobacco in pipes than from
the secret use of cigarettes. In their
study Of the ways and methods Of :he
cadet they nave been led TO observe that
many boys who would not otherwise want
to smoke have felt that the restriction
was not a reasonable one and have gone
TO some pains TO break il. as often as
possible. Now that there is no element
cf daring and adventure in the use of
tobacco il is thought that the young men
will find that smoking has lost much OF
ifs charm.

FRILLS AND FANCIES OF
THE SUMMER FASHIONS )
Notes OF the Materials and Modes That Are :
Pleasing to Feminine

and high belt draped carefully round
the waist.
High curved belts require the deep
jeweled and enamel work.
Stiff little bows with tiny buckles,
rosettes with jeweled button CEN
ter, are amongst the novelties for
trimming coats and bodices.
The latest fashionable embroider-
les are Persian and Chinese. Every
country and cline are called upon to
contribute to opr vanity!
The rage for lace continues. Yak
shades, is used for trimming wolfe
and Aeolienne. Teneriffe, Spanish
silk lace, Mexican. Cluny, and an
tique laces are all most lovely, but
none is mere perfect than the old
Italian lace. Colored, hand-painted
and spangled laces are much seen.
All kinds of laces are worn together,
and black and white, or coffee color
and white lace are used to trim the
same gown. Filet lace is called upon
to do good service on our summer
gowns.
Cloth is used in. all sorts of curious
ways. For instance, lace, grenadine.
and the lightest fabrics are strapped
with cloth. 1t is also used for under
skirts; and embroidered cloth
blouses are a novelty. They are
most elegant, if a little. severe.
Smartest of all black dresses is
black crepe de chine, trimmed with
tucks. ruching and black silk guipure
insertion.
Founda tons are made separate
from the skirts, and a skeleton silk
bodice is needed for slip blouses, in
asmuch as eur bodices have become
slip blouses in themselves.
Hip yokes, gagged or tucked, ap-
pear on all the new skirts, regardless
of the fact that the whole skirt is
tucked from waist to hem,. or
trimmed below the knee with lace in
sertion. The vogue OF founced or
box-plaited skirts continues una.

ENGLISH HOUSEHOLD TROOPS
lishment from the Time
of Charles III.

The privileges of the household
troops. which are now being called
into question, date from the estab-
lishment of the regiments from
Charles H., according to the London
Chronicle. A fortnight before his
coming from Holland he selected so
cavalier gentlemen. and formed them
into corps of life guards, under
Lord Gerard. Increased to 600 men.
they formed the kings bodyguard.
and escorted him into his own again.
Parliament disbanded the Ironside
army, but an outburst of fifth mon
archy fanatics in January, 1861, at
forded Charles a pretext for main
tanning troops for his personal pro-
lection. Out of Monks disbanded
array the king increased the life
guard by 500 men, raised a regiment
of foot guards, transformed the Cold
stream regiments into second corps
of foot guards, and converted troops

GETTING HIS SEA LEGS.
backs for the Young Navy
Recruit.

The phrase Acquiring the sea hab-
it," which is frequently used in con-
nection with the training of recruits
in the navy, carries to the lay mind
something of an impression of a
rolling gait, chronic hitching at the
waistband of the trousers. a saline
vocabulary and d canny knowledge of
the brands of eatingo tobacco. The
navy department knows the epoch as
one in which the recruit is learning
to make himself comfortable aboard
ship. and during which he is liable
to fits of depression, IN which more
things than sea water look blue. 1t
is the period in which the romance
of life ON the rolling deep becomes
temporarily obscured and life seems
hard.
During such a period the recruit is
likely to write to his family or his
congressman in such terms as seem to
warrant an abolition of the service,
