EMPHATIC STATEMENT BY NAVY
DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
Announcement by Acting Secretary
Darling-Case Of Carpenter's
Mate Miller.

Officials of the Navy Department depre-
cate the systematic effort made in certain
unfriendly quarters to raise the race is
sue' in the navy on the ground that 1t can
do no good and will only result in mischief
and dissensions where all is now peace and
harmony. Reports recently gained currency
that the Navy Department contemplated
Withdrawing the 500 colored men from the
service and stopping further enlistments of
colored men. So many inquiries as to the
basis Of these reports were received at the
department that Acting Secretary Darling
dictated the following letter as a general
form of reply to the letters:
'Sir: The department is In receipt of
yours Of -. The department does not
contemplate excluding the negro from the
service. The question has never been pro-
posed nor considered. The department
would not favor taking such a step and 1t
is difficult to understand how a person 9th
erwise quolifed could be denied enlistment
CHARLES H. DARLING.
Acting Secretary
Another official stated that no change of
policy as to the enlistment of colored men
has taken place, and that men are enlisted In
accordance with their qualifications, with
out regard to color or race. Attention Is
called to a recent case in point. colored
seaman had been tried by court-martial and
Imprisonment.
After the expiration of his term of i'm
prisonment he applied to the Navy De-
partment to have the disability OF dis
honorable discharge, which is ordinarily
a bar to subsequent enlistment. waived
in order that he might re-enter the naval
service. This request was granted. as the
mans record before the infraction for
which he was tried was good, as was also
his prison record. Had there been any in
clination to bar persons of color from the
service, certainly the disability in this case
would not have been waived.
1t is further stated at the department
that the course of Capt. Snow, command
ing the receiving ship Columbia at the
New York navy yard in protecting Car
penter's Mate Isaac A. Miller, a colored
man, in his legal rights, had the approval
of the department. Miller has served his
full term Of probation and passed a salts
factory examination. He Is listed as a
carpenters mate and assigned to the New
York navy yard. Several petty officers have
taken exception TO eating at the same
table with Miller.
1t has been threatened that unless Miller
was transferred something would hap
pen" When informed of the state of af-
fairs Capt Snow said that his attention
had not been called to the matter before,
but that Miller would not be imposed
upon by the other petty officers.
MILLER will have his rights, regardless of
color" declared the captain, ''for the navy
makes no such distinction"

Another note addressed to Justice of the
Peace Halbert E. Paine under whom MIR.
Hansen served as deputy marshal, has an
important bearing on the case. July 81, it
was learned, Mrs. Hansen called upon MIR.
Payne at his home and inquired as to the
whereabouts of her husband, saying he had
not been home. Hansen received his pay
for the month of July that day. Mrs. Han
sen was very disconsolate. 1t is learned, and
expressed to Mr.. Payne the belief that her
husband had deserted her. Mr.. Payne had
not seen Hansen since early in the day, but,
it is understood comforted the woman by
inviting her to call at his Office the next
day, saying he might have some informal
ton concerning her husband.
The next morning she was on hand, it Is
said. and after being informed that moth
ing had been heard of her husband up to
that time. made known her desire to go to
New York. and said 1t required $40 to do
so. Mr.. Payne complied with her request
for loan. and she offered to leave piece
OF 1ewelry as security for the payment of
the money. Mr.. Payne refused to accept
the security and informed her that the
money was a gift. She explained that
with the 81 she had in her pocket book she
would get through all right.
The unfortunate woman did not go to

Portland, Nov. 10 Acting upon the
charge of Judge Bellinger, of the United
States district court. yesterday evening,
the jury in the case against Malcolm
A. Moody returned verdict of not
guilty, without leaving the jury box.
The prosecution utterly failed to sus.

instructions of Judge Bellinger were
that nothing but verdict of acquittal
could be returned, under the evidence
presented. Two of the leading points
in the prosecution were thrown out yes
terday afternoon, and it became plainly
evident toward night, that the jury
would be instructed to find for the de-
fendant, owing to the weak showing of
the prosecution.

Dod0sR ~ He Wings His Way
sOuthw

The snipe, properly Wilson's snipe,
Gallinago Delicata, but commonly
known as English snipe and wrongful
" called half a dozen other names, is
a widely distributed species. 1t visits
every state at some season; its north
ward migration extends within the
arctic circle, while it is known to go
southwark to northern South America
and the West Indies. Comparatively
few of the birds which move north
ward from February until May breed
south of the international line. 1t is
quite true there are breeding grounds
at various points of the northern
states, but the great breeding range
extends from latitude AZ degrees
north to some undetermined point
much nearer the pole than most
sportsmen will venture.
Some time in September the first
south-bound birds pass below the
Canadian grounds, and soon most of
the suitable marshy bits OF east and
west have their share of lOng-billed
prizes. Then begins an astonishing
attack which extends from ocean to
ocean and generally sweeps south
ward from Canada to California
Probably tons Of lead, half OF which
10 wasted, are fred at the artful

HISTORY ON MANS SKIN.
A Piece Of Artistic TaftoOtnS He-
vealsd by an Arrest of the
Paris Police.

A remarkable lite story is reported
from Lyons. In consequence of com
plant lodged by local butcher, a
Young man, of weak and miserable ap-
pearance, was arrested for theft. He
protested that he was innocent of the
charge, and that he had never before
been in the hands of the police, says a
Paris report TO the Chicago Inter
Ocean. ITO prove the truth Of my
statement" he continued, barring his
breast, "look at this, and see whether
it would not be easy to establish my
IDENTITY"
The young fellow having stripped to
the waist, it was found that his body
was entirely tattooed with historical
scenes, which included the murder of
49, Duo de Guise and the death of Pres
.uent Carnot.
The mans life story was as remark
able as the rest. Son of the wife of a
superior officer in the French army,
and born out of wedlock at Marseilles,
he was placed by his mother with a
woman in that town, who received 60
francs month for some years for his
keep. Afterward he served on several
coasting vessels as cooks boy, where
he met former student Of the Beaux-
Arts school, who was also in difficult
ties, and who tattooed his body in q
most artistic manner.

THEY TOOK NO SOUP.
In che Early Days of the Republic
1t Was Food for Invalids
Only.

Serving dinner in courses is COM
paratively modern fashion, first in
troduced in diplomatic circles in
Washington, d. c., and initiated from
France. Up to the date of President
Polk's administration the course din
ner among Americans had made no
further progress than that of serv-
ing fish and soup separately. Soup
was considered such a foreign "trip
perry that a note written by Gen.
Winfield Scott. in which he explained
that he was Just sitting down to a
hasty plate of soup" covered him
with such ridicule as to mate rally
contribute to his defeat as a candi-
date for the presidency, says Lippin-
colts. Soup in the early days of the
republic was considered as food for
invalids or poor people only; later,
when the social splendors of the
court of Empress Eugene attracted
rich Americans in tiocks to Paris,
French table manners and custom
pushed the old English dinner fash
ions to the wall. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, if soup ever found a place on
the dinner table of the wealthy
Maryland or Virginia planter, unless
green turtle, which was really
stew, might be so called.

LUNACY ON THE INCREASE.
Swedish Professor Says That Edu-
Gated Women Are the Chief
Victims.

Hermann Lundborg, Of the great
Swedish lunatic asylum at Upsala,
says that lunacy is increasing among
Swedish women and more especially
among the educated classes. In the
lower classes insanity is brought on
chiefly by the cares of life or intem-
perance, but in the educated women
the main canse, he contends, is their
education.
DR.. Lundborg emphatically asserts
that the forced training to which this
class of women submit themselves is
most hurtful.
ut is monstrous," he says, "to sub
ject women to this competition, and
if the competition does not cease eff
fects upon future generations will be
disastrous"

A COMEDY JAIL.
Town GuardhOuse In Pennsylvania
That IL Merely Convenience
for Prisoners.

Elizabethtown, the county seat of
Essex, in the Adirondacks, possesses
comedy Jail, according to the Philadel-
phia Ledger. 1t is small, having win
dows secured by wooden bars and
jailyard inclosed by, solid fence of
hree-quarterinch boards, which a
healthy male could push over with his
shoulder. But the prisoners rarely, If
ever, attempt to escape. Some good
stories are told by Judge Kellogg,
Judge Hand and other residents. 1t is
a custom to allow the prisoners out
on parole, so that they may cut the
grass on neighboring lawns, do gar
den work, or repair roads for the vii
lage or county. Recently one prison
err who should have returned at eight
o'clock, did not apply for admission
until nearly an hour later. The war
den angrily demanded to know the
reason, and added: Don't let this
occur again, or l will not allow you
to come in. ! lock the door at eight
o'clock, and won't open it in the future
for you" Another accused of and
awaiting trial for manslaughter, over
stayed his parole and pleaded a s an ex-
cuse that as it was Saturday he
thought he would go and spend Sun
day with his wife, returning to the Jail
ON Monday morning

KING EDWARDS HEIGHT.
From This Extract 1t May BE Drawn
That His Majesty II About
Fiyo-FOOt-SiX.

Why people should make bets on
matter about which they have no
information, and then ask me to de-
eide them without ascertaining
whether l know any more than they
do, is one of the mysteries of edi-
torial life, says writer in London
Truth. Here is the latest example CT
this singular practice:
''Sir: l should esteem it favor If
you will kindly answer in your Truth
columns or privately, what the
height of King Edward VII. is, as two
papers have already been written to.
and they decidedly disagree, one stat
ing five feet five and one-half inches.
and the other five feet four inches,
and l shall, therefore, take your
measurement as authentic, etc"
One might have supposed that his
previous experience would have
shaken this gentleman's confidence i'll
editorial infallibility. Why did he
not write to the kings tailor? 1
have never had occasion to take his
majesty's measure. But if my guess
is to decide the knotty point, |
guess five feet seven inches. No
doubt plenty of people will be ready
to correct this off hand; but l do
not believe 1 can be more than hall
an inch out either way. Certainly
both the figures given above are un-
der the mark
