Clean the Court House.

The Bar Association, the other night,
authorized its president to appoint q
committee OF five to prepare bill pro-
viding for the appointment OF a COM
mission to erect a new county court
house on the site or in the immediate
neichborhood OF the present building
which sensible resolution practically
disposes Of any uptown movement.
We are in urgent need Of new court
house, larger than the preseet one
The planning and construction OF IT,
however, will take years, and, In the
meantime, something should be done
for the relief of the bench and bar. The
plumbing Of the present Court House
is old and in poor order. The building
is dirty in the extreme; its ventilation
is atrocious. New plumbing should be
nut in and the whole Court House should
be cleaned from top to bottom. The
ceilings should be kalsomined, the walls,
wood and iron work throughout the
building should be painted and some
proper method Of ventilation should be
provided.
We are informed that in last June
the Presiding Justice OF the Appellate
Division of this department made q
reouisition on the President OF this bor-
ough, the Hon. JACOB A. CANTOR, calling
upon him to kalsomine and paint the
County Court House, and to make other
necessary repairs or alterations, and we
are further told that no answer to this
reouisition has ever been vouchsafed.
1t is certain that some one is respon-
sible for this neglect, and as the warm
spring months approach it is proper TO
call the attention Of the public authori-
ties to 1t.

have splendid hotels and restaurants,
Its schools, libraries and churches Will
draw to it more and moro wel-to-do
persons who want to educate their chill
dren and prefer a more quiet and less
expensive urban life than can be found
in Manhattan. The great enterprises
now under way in the hands OF the
Pennsylvania company will bring
great increase Of population to Long
Island; and the Brooklyn tunnel Will
begin a new era in Brooklyn. There
are hundreds Of thousands OF persons
in Manhattan who think that they could
live better and more cheaply in Brook
Ign. but they are afraid OF the jam at
the Bridge. The tunnels and the new
bridges will draw of some OF the never
ceasing plethora OF Manhattan; and
great changes, architectural, social ana
financial, will ensue in Brooklyn. Rents
and the cost OF living will probably rise.
The plan of the lobster lord shows that
he looks for q livelier, freer-handed and
stranger-haunted Brooklyn; and he is
shrewd man Of business. There Is
close connection between prosperity
and the demand for terrapin, oyster
crabs, Holsters and champagne.

the President contemplates appears from
a slight consideration Of the age llst
of these veterans. Col. VRooM, In
pector-G General. is junior in rank 70
Col. BURTON, Of the same department
but retires for age on April Is, 1000,
while the latter, who was cadet az
West Point during the war, does not
retire until Jan. II. 1901; Gen. DAVIS
Judge Advocate General. with not quite
two years service in the Volunteers
retires in 1911, while Col. GRoEsBEch'
Judge Advocate, who served five years
and three months as a Volunteer. retires
on Nov. 20, 1904. Col. HUMPHREY, VINO

1853. is to become Quartermaster-Generai
in July; il there is no advancement ana
retirement for veterans, his seiec'ioh
will cut out Coils. ATWOOD, MARSHALL
and SIMPSON, all of whom rank MIN
now, and are Older than hels
A similar state of affairs exists IN the
line as well as in the staff Every regi-
mcnt Of cavalry but one is commahdeo
by an officer whose Volunteer service
ended nearly thirty-eght years ago.
eight OF the thirteen Colonies OF artillery
are veterans of the war; and every reei-
ment OF infantry has war veteran at ios
head. The chances Of these officers lot
obtaining the stars Of Brlgadler-Generais
in the ordinary course Of events are very
small. the President s plan alone can give
IN tbem the honors which their years OF
service deserve. .
Greatly as the previous professions OF
Brieadier-Generals have changed tho
personnel of the Colonies, they have
had little appreciable effect in bring
ing younger men to command IN inc
army. In 1898, a year after President
McKrNLEY's first general shuttle, the
Oldest Colonel Of cavalry was "a, the
Youngest SO years old; the Oldest ar
tillery Colonel was 63, the youngest W;
the Oldest Colonel of infantry was g.
the youngest was IS years old Inc
figures in the cavalry to-day are "a and
So: in the artillery, "a and So; and In the
infantry, 90 and 81. Not very much In
the direction of rejuvenating the Col
onels has been accomplished yet.
That naval officers should reach nag
and command rank at much lower age
than was formerly the case in our navy
was the object of the Navy Personnel
bill, which effectually prevents stagna-
ton and has done much to help the navy
morally and physically. In default OF the
retirement provisions Of such bill for
the army, the procession OF Generals
must be secured as both President
MCKINLEY and President ROOSEVELT
have secured it in the past. The need OF
Young Colonies is as imperative nova
DAYS as is that Of young naval COM
manders.

The report that the American motor
cyclists, many OF whom are now enrolled
in clubs, are about to form a national or
ganzation. calls attention to the recent
growth In this country OF new industry,
or rather a new branch OF an old industry,
which may some day rival in importance
the manufacture Of the regular safety
bicycle.
Until recently. the demand for motor
cycles on this side OF the ocean has been
slight; but with the increasing popularity
OF the automobile the self-moving two
wheeled machine appears to be gaining
friends rapidly. The motor cycles ex-
hibited at the big automobile shows Of this
year were distinctly superior to any seen
heretofore: and this fact Is believed TO
explain. in a large measure. the unusual
interest now manifested in machines Of
this type.
In England the motor cycle trade, al
though OF less than three year, growth.
has attained immense proportions. re-
port submitted short time ago by United
States Consul EVANS ia London shows
that thousands Of these machines are In
Use throughout the United Kingdom and

COURTESY TO SPANS MINISTER.
The Cruiser Isla de LuBon VIII Not no
At the -. Louis Exposition Dedication.

WARRINGTON, March i5.-Owing to the
demands Of International courtesy, when
this Government has frequently been I'M
Justly accused OF ignoring, the people
who will attend the dedication ceremonies
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
st. Louis on April 30, will not have the OPP
portunity OF seeing the gunboat lsia de
Luxon. one OF the former Spanish vessels
sunk by Dewey's squadron In the battle
OF Manila Bay. Orders had been issued
for the Isla de Luzon to 60 to st. Louis Tor
the dedication ceremonies, but an interest
ing cir cumstance has caused the Navy
Department TO rescind them.
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com
mission intends to make the dedication
the greatest celebration ever held in the
Mississippi Valley, and to that end IL has
invited President Roosevelt's Cabinet, ex-
President Cleveland, tho members Of the
diplomatic body in Washington and a great
many other distinguished people to at
tend the affair. Among those invited to
speak was Senior Don Emilio de Ojeda.
the Spanish Minister. He was selected
to make an address, partly because Of the
interest Spain had in the territory whose
acquisition by the United States Is to be
COMMUNICATED by the Exposition.
Senior Ojeda willingly promised to de-
liver some remarks and made known 20
the Exposition Commission that he would
take advantage Of the occasion to dwell
on the restoration OF good feeling between
Spain and the United States. A few days
ago II occurred to somebody that the par,
ticpation OF captured Spanish war vessel
In the ceremonies at st. Louis might give
Ths Ststa Department was consuted
and after some correspondence with the
Exposition Commission, 1t has been de-
cided that the courteous thing to do was
to drop the Isla de Luzon away from Vt.
Louis while Sefor Ojeda was there. The
new monitor Arkansas will attend the
ceremonies, however, and II In probable
that another war vessel will be sent.
somewhat embarrassing incident that
occurred more than three years ago has
made the authorities here extremely care
resentatives to take part In patriotic oeie-
brations. In that instance. however, the
Government was not to blame. Chicago
held a big Dewey jubilee on the occasion
Of the Admirals visit to that city, and
MAYOR Carter Harrison invited the MEM
hers Of the Diplomatic Corps to attend IL.
The then Spanish Minister In Washin gton,
the Duke Of ARGOS, received an In vitation.
He regarded this request to participate
In an affair intended to honor the man
who destroyed Spanish squadron ss an
in a letter to Mayor Harrison. The Mayor
explained that the invitation had been sent
through an oversight. Since then, the
State Department has supervised all In :
vitations sent to foreign diplomats to at
tend public celebrations.

The New 10000 Tonners.

An error crept into our list OF State
names borne by warships which we
hereby finally correct. We have State
named, built. building or provided for,
twenty-three battleships Of the first class,
one OF the second class, nine armored
cruisers, four monitors and two training
vessels, leaving six States not repre-
sented in armor. Those States are North
Carolina, South Carolina, Delaware,
North Dakota, Montana and Utah.
1t has been announced that the three
lsOOo-ton battleships provided for by
the last Congress are to be modelled
after the Connecticut and Louisiana,
authorized in 1902, of similar displace-
ment. Those vessels carry four Pinch
guns, eight s-inch guns, twelve finch
guns, twenty 3-inch guns and twelve
3-pounders. The Connecticut and sister
will be the first to mount finch guns.
The preceding class, consisting OF the
Georgia and her four sisters, Of a 1000
tons, less displacement, carry 6-inch guns
where the Connecticut will carry finch
guns, and twelve 3-inch guns against the
Connecticut's twenty.
The picture Of the Connecticut shows a
three-pounder perched on each OF the
six turrets. Again we urge that the
ingenuity Of the profession be eIerted
toward devising a scheme that can be
approved by all experts for mounting
on the main turrets, at least, a gun OF
heavier calibre. That spot is tactically
too good to give to three-pounder.

HAWAIIANs ONCE CANNIBALT
Question Again Raised by the Discovery
OF Relies In . Cave.


HONOLULU, March 3.-The discovery OF q
cave containing relics several centuries
old on the Island OF Hawaii has given rise
to the old story that the Hawaiians were
cannibals. In the cave was found a hula
skirt, made Of human hair, and also orna-
ments which were studded with human
teeth. The theory is vigorously combated
by the kamininas told citizens), who say
that the relics are simply indicative OF
lost art OF the natives, and that they never
were cann,bals.
In one cave was found an iron CONN.
The lid had been removed and the occupant
OF the narrow housn was gone. Old natives

Honolulu. The coffin Is said TO have con.
tanned tho remains Of q close relative OF
either the first or second Kamehameha.
In the cave also were rare tapas and kou
oalabashes. The skirt was made OF plated
human hair, and the bracelets and anklets
discovered were studded with white teeth,
In the Bishop Museum are many orna-
ments OF the early Hawaiians in which
are imbedded human teeth, while there
are also calabashes which are studded
with human bones. though highly polished
These human curiositiee are said 10 pc
relics OF the tribal warfare OF the early
Polynesian. The captives were killed and,

the manufactures from human bones and
teeth is really wonderful. Calabeshes were
