NEW TOOLS FoR SOLDIERS.
Experience in Cuba Taught Utility Of

There has. been considerable inquiry

have been tested without entirely sat

which was known as that of the board

deemed suitable for adoption, although
some of the reports received from the
field We're favorable to 1t.
The investigation has been contin-
ued at the engineer school of applica-
ton at Washington barracks with the
result that Maj. w. NJ Black, of the

This material is habitually to be car
ried with the company transportation,
but in emergencies when troops are
detached from their transportation for
any reason the pick mattocks and
shovels will be individually conveyed,
being provided with carrying straps
Both the pick mattocks and the SHOW

much, and practical tests of them have
proved that they are as effective in
the hands of troops as the heavier and
larger article.
In this new engineering equipment
there are two articles which may be
considered the outgrowth of our war
with Spain. One is the machete and
the other is the wire-cutting pliers

Mystery Surrounds Disappearance of
Two Officers.


Two Officers.
Reports from Denver, Col, state that
Second Lieutenant William M. Kisler,
Eighteenth infantry, has been missing
from Fort Logan since Dec. IL. Since
then nothing has been heard from the
officer, either at the fort or at the war
department.
Another officer of the, army who is
reported missing is one who is borne
on the army register as Second Lieu
tenant Edward o. Perkins, Fourth
cavalry. He has been missing from
Fort Leavenworth since Dec. 20, and
nothing has been heard from him since.
The officers at the fort are at a loss to
account for, his disappearance, and
nave requested the police of neighbor-
ing cities to maintain a watch for him.
1t develops that this officer, who has
been passing himself off as a wIdower
and single man since receiving his
commission, has a wife and two chill
dren, and that his wife is stopping at a.
motel in the city Of Leavenworth. 1t is

There are already in stock in st. Paul
stores 10000 valentines of all descrip-
items; ready, at all aginable prices,
to assume the role of Cupid's messen-
gers. And this fact brings to mind
many speculations regarding this
strange custom.
Why do those of the twentieth cen
fury observe the custom of sending to
their friends tlpse fearfully and Won
derfully constructed creations of man
called, in moments of weakness, valen-
tines?
The origin of this custom is shrouded
amid the gloom and the Incompetent
stSle manners of those pagans of the
fifth century who literally made Rome
howl during the terrible days of Cal
phurnius and Asterius.
But, strange to say. there are three
saints of the name of Valentine who
aspire to the patron saintship of Feb.
IA.
The first, Valentinus, martyr and
presbyter, according to the authorized
Roman legend, was arrested and
thrown into prison, heavily chained at
the instance of the Emperor Claudius
Gothicus, who handed him over to the
tender mercies of his agents with in
struction to employ all their gentle
arts CD to try and win him back to
idolatry. After miraculously healing
several Of the emperor's household at
the end of a long Imprisonment, during
which he was beaten with clubs, he
was finally beheaded on the Flaminian
Way, Feb. IA.
The second Valentine, of Tnteramna,
TERM, was also a bishop and martyr.
He miraculously healed Chaeremon, the
deformed son of Grafton, Greek rhet-
orician, living in Rome. This, also,
was accomplished on Feb. IA, and this
Valentine is the saint whose healing
powers are invoked on that date in
Italy and Germany. In the latter coun-
try he is known as st. Velten.
The third Valentine is spoken of in
history as the apostle of Rhateia, and
venerated in Passau as it's first bishop.
He f1Ourished in the first half of the
fifth century; but of him little is
known.
History also tells us something of
the manner in which the peculiar GUS
toms that now obtain came to have
their origin. But the recital of it all
would be tedious and improbable.
Enough to know that on the 18th day
of next month hundreds of ST. Paul
people will receive divers and WONDER
full kinds of postal packages bearing
the most varied manner of sentiments.
Originally Feb. IA was considered a
very propitious day upon which to
wish ones friends good health, or ones
enemies the opposite. to which end the
kind offices Of st. Valentine were in
voked.
1t has been thought of late years that
the custom has fallen off to a very ap-
preciable extent, but such is found
upon investigation, to be the opposite
from true. According to the opinions
of the heads Of those houses handling
the different wares peculiar of this day

under such conditions as were encoun-

before Santiago.
A form Of defense adopted by the
Spaniards there included barbed wire
laid upon the ground over which it
was impossible for troops to pass
without decorating the feet and legs.
Some of our troops on that occasion
were supplied with these implements
and found them of great use. They
are now to become a part of the regu-
lar engineering outfit of troops in the
field. In this connection it is interest,"

Common Mistake.

The teacher had been explaining to the
class in etymology the meaning of the
word ''gamy' as an ending in compounds
and had taken as illustrations the three
words "polygamy," "bigamy'' and mon
ogamy:" 'Polygamy, children" she ex-
planned, sis the condition of having sew
eral wives; bigamy, the condition OF hav-
ing two wives, and monogamy, that OF
having only one wife,
After discussing various other roots
and words she reverted to those she had
first explained. and put questions to test
the knowledge OF her pupils. Now, chill
dren, she said, when man has many
wives, or a woman has many husbands,
what do we call it?''
"Polygamy," was the response.
''And what is 1t when there are two

ROME, Dec. 2-Bellamy Storer, United
States ambassador to Austria, and Mrs.
Storer came to Rome to-day to see the Pope
and were Immediately received in audience.
The Pope greeted them in the ancient
apartment occupied by Cardinal Rampolla
when secretary Of state. and insisted that
Mr. and Mrs. Storer sit next to him.
During the audience the Popes manner
was most affable and the conversation was
of an extremely cordial character The
Pope expressed great satisfaction at the
good feeling and the kindly interest dis
played in the United States during the III
ness of Pope Leo and the sorrow SHOWN az
his death, as well as at the pleasure eyinced
by Americans in his own election as the
successor of Leo. The Pope said he was
especially touched when he learned or me
manifestations of sympathy and piety IN
the Protestant churches of the United
States during the illness OF Pope Leo.
Much knowledge of American analrs was
shown by the Pope, who said that ne
greatly desired to please the people OF the
United States. He was most cordial in
his expressions of regard for Ambassador
and Mrs. Storer and personally impaired
his benediction to them. The conversation
lasted half an hour.

board of the Western Federation of Miners

dent Roosevelt: "At the present time Off
GERS of the State of Colorado, under the
guise and pretext of enforcing law, have
ordered a large number of reputable and
self-sustaining citizens and residents to

guilty of any crime against the laws of the

authorities of Colorado, and it does not

The Senate finance committee has prac-

recent recommendations regarding the

bill caused a sharp contest in the House of
Representatives, where it was read to-day,
the question being whether to refer it to the

on taxation. The motion to refer the bill
to the former committee was carried by a

GEN. BATEs's REPORT.
Situation Does Not Yet Demand the
Presence Of Federal Troops.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-Maj. Gen. j. c.
Bates, who was sent to Colorado to investi-
gate the disturbances in the Cripple Creek
and Telluride mining districts, has SUBJ
mitted his report to Lieut.. General Young,
the chief of staff of the army, and it was
made public to-day. The report is dated
Denver, Nov. %, and says:
II find that the disturbances at Cripple
Creek and Telluride amounted to insurrec-
ton against the State of Colorado in that
mining, milling and other business was
suspended there by reason of intimidation,
threats and violence and that the civil Of
ficers were not able to or did not maintain
order. The militia of the State has been
employed and is now employed at Cripple
Creek and Telluride. 1 think the employ
ment of the State troops necessary at both
these points. and that they are now giving
protection to life and property. At Cripple
Creek work has been resumed at times
and at Telluride one mine has resumed OPP
erations, and owners informed me they pro-
pose to open other mines as apidly as they
can secure workmen. 1t is probable that
military guards will have to be maintained
at the points mentioned for some time, but
1 understand it is the intention to reduce
the force as rapidly as circumstances will
warrant, though in my opinion no material

are not needed.
There is an unsettled condition at the coal
mines, both In the Trinidad or southern dis

may develop into such disorder to re-

while the whole available force of State
troops is employed at Cripple Creek and
