Stories of Here and There


They were commercial travellers and
veterans. There were five in the party
and in corner of the Merchants hotel
lobby four Of them were recounting
tales of encounter with tough custom
ers bad hotels railway smash-ups and
travel generally.
The fifth had evidently had a siren
uouS day with buyers who appreciate
the grape juice as bottled in sunny
France. He gravely struggled to keep
both eyes open and maintain an air of
interest in the conversation.
The old man of the party had the
stage. Describing the haps and mis-
maps of an European trip he suddenly
launched into a glowing eulogy on the
city of Cork and its beauties. In con-
clusion he said:
ANY of you fellows ever been in
Cork?''
/ No one answered in the affirmative,
but the tired cempatriot was strug-
Cling to position more nearly ap-
preaching the perpendicular. and after
a wrest1e with the chair arms,
drawled:

AS the Selby car was nearing Min

| last Saturday. it came upon the crowds
watching the bulletins of the yacht
races. There were two women seated
in the rear of the car and as they
neared the crowds in the street, one of
them exclaimed:
why! What is this? It must be a
parade; just look at the people,"
| Dear me! What can it be? Where
are the women? l wish 1 knew what

A gentleman in the seat ahead Of
them volunteered an explanation:
"The crowd is watching the yacht

Shamrock"
Immediately both the women stood

DIVIDED ALLEGlANcES.

If Reliance wins today, interest In
the yacht races will be at an end. For
that reason as well as for others there
are a good many people who would ike
to see Shamrock III. come home with
time to spare There has grown up in
this country a sentiment rather wide
spread which overcomes our natural
patriotic instincts 1t entertains
sneaking wish that the challenger
might for once carry back the cup, or
at least win enough races to keep the
event uncertain until the last moment.
This is not to be blamed, for it is the
feeling Of the true sportsman. Nobody
wants an easy victory. In every trial
of strength and SKILL the successful
contestant does not hope for a walk
over, but struggle that will call for
the full display Of all his powers and
give to him full credit for the achieve
ment. In any given race between the
boat crews of rival universities, for in
stance, each man hopes that his side
that, in a series Of years, it needs some
defeats to keep interest unfiagging
and to give to victory its sweetness.
The cup has never been in real dan
ger since 1t came into our possess ion.
There is hardly a man with soul so
dead that he would give the races this
year to Sir Thomas Upton if it rested
with him to do so. But there is null
titude of men who believe that it would
make better sport If Sir Thomas did
score triumph, and compel our build
ers and designers to show what they
could do if they had to cross the ocean
and compete on an unfamiliar course.
The probabilities, however, are all
against it. Not even Sir Thomas can
have much hope after the demonstra-
ton of last Saturday; and the crowd
that gathers about The Clio b e. s
bulletin board today will come with
the idea Of seeing by how much mar
gin Reliance wins. Nor are they likely
to be disappointed.

MANY OFFICERS PROMOTED.
Recent Retirements in the Army Cause
a Number of Changes.

The recent numerous retirements OF
general officers has resulted in the
promotion and transfer of a number of
officers now serving in the Department
OF the Dakotas, who, by reason of
former services in st. Paul, are we'll
known in Minnesota.
Maj. T. Henry, who was at Fort
Smelling with the Eighth infantry, be-
comes colonel of the Fourth infantry,
headquarters at Fort Wright, Wash.
Lieut. Col. Philip Reade becomes a
full colonel and assumes command of
his own regiment, the Twenty third
Infantry, which is in the Philippines.
Col Reade left ST. Paul about two
years ago, after several years serv-
ice as inspector general of the Depart
ment of the Dakotas
Lieut.. Col. Daniel Cornman, of the
Twenty fourth infantry. now in the
department becomes colonel of the
Seventh infantry, and the lieutenant
cGlonelcy vacated by him falls to John
c. Dent. senior major of that COM
mand.
Maj. Edwin Bolton, of the Twenty
fourth, is made lieutenant colonel
and assigned to the Tenth infantry,
and Capt. w. H. Cowles, of the Twen-
ty-fourth, goes to the Twelfth as ma
jor. Capt. John Parkes Jr, of the
Twenty first, and now commandment
at Lincoln, goes to the Twenty-sec-
ond with a majority.
Capt Elias Chandler, First infantry,
comes to the Department of the Dako-
tas with majority in the Twenty
fourth. Capt. Henry Hovey, of the
Twenty first, goes to the Twenty third
as major, and Capt. Lawrence J.
Hearn, commanding Company F, Fort
Smelling, rises to major in his OWE
regiment.

high wages in the fields, are the most

of 0eserticns is explained by the Of

particular. Since the army has settled

THE FALL OF THE MIGHTY.

The law Of compensation does not
spare the haughtiest, and there are
many who will recognize in the fate
of the editor of an English magazine
the beginning Of a retribution that
must eventually overtake all his kind.
For, set up as a matrimonial prize, he
is to be knocked down, not to the
highest bidder to be sure, but to the
young woman who has secured for his
magazine the largest number of sub
scribers. Sacrificed to the interests of
the business office, this wielder of the
blue pencil and custodian of the rejec-
ton blank must accept, with an out
ward semblance of pleasure at least,
her whose literary criticisms are prob
ably limited to such expressions as
Just horrid" and perfectly lovely"
Yet, while ones sympathy may be
withheld from the editor, especially in
this country where the butcher, the
baker and the candIestick maker are
apt to be struggling literati, he will
question the wisdom of the business
Office. Heretofore the editor has been
a mystery; his sanctum, the abiding
place of some frightful animal that
feeds on manuscripts. But now, mar
ried to make business Offices holi-

1T HELPED HilARITY.

Our congratulations to DR.. Ohage.
He does not appear to be indebted to
the carnival association personally
and, Of course, he has not mortgaged
the public baths. So that altogether
we are not much the worse off for hav-
ing had summer carnival. There
must be some excuse for an undertake
ing Of the kind and there is no reason
why the public baths should not fur
nish the necessary apology.
The affair, as a carnival, was I'M
doubtedly a success-from the view
point of the people who rejoice in that
sort of thing. That they are not
scarce is evidenced in the fact that
seventy thousand or more paid adj
missions and went through the gates
into that abode of joy, where the
bazoo made music and the confetti
idiot prepared the wayfarer to accept
with pleasurable emotion the an
nouncement that oily Moses would be
charmed to give one ride for the
small sum of ten cents.
Let us give thanks that the summer
carnival promises to cease troubling.
That he who would suggest repeti-
ton of the experience of the two weeks
devoted to the carnival in st. Paul
would probably be mobbed and the
rope would be readily furnished by the
unhappy men who gave Of their time
the failure it was, from a financial
point Of view. The carnival is not
suited to the temperament of the in
habitants of this climate. There is a
conspicuous lack of the element Of
mystery that should surround the par
ticipant in the revels. There are no
languishing eyes, cleaning from
masks; no dominoes; no suggestions
Of intrigue. We throw confetti with
hands calculated to throw bricks; we
have no taste for the small beer Of
carnival time. We lack the Latin
temperament.
Let us put away the carnival, once
and for all. 1t was not a good BUSH
ness proposition from the start. Ev-
erybody knew that but no one wanted
to damp the enthusiasm or quench the
ardor of the ell-dispesed citizens
who were willing to give of their time
to the management Of the affair. They
helped dispeI the depression Of sum-
mer by promoting the Stiffness Of the
silly season. They made good in that
direction. The public baths are not
pawned. Let us give thanks.

CHICAGO OUGHT TO BE GOOD.

Chicago eats too much in too little
time and eats 1T out of an elevated
trough while sitting on a high stool.
That is what Is the matter with Chi
cago. That's what makes her profess
sors discover queer things in the econ
omy of nature; that also impels her
best citizens to devote most Of their
time to the vending Of such land
marks as the Masonic Temple. the Lo-
gan monument and the Lake Front to
| unsuspecting strangers. Chicago's
morals are perverted by reason Of the
hurry UP lunch.
The regeneration of the town has
been undertaken by the Walters
| union. In striking yesterday the wait
ers builded better than they knew for
while they only ask for more money
and the recognition Of their union.
they. as matter of fact. are working
out enc cf the problems that have puz-
zled those who strive fer the uplifting
of the Chicagoese.
1t is not in human nature to sit on
| a high stool, eat hurry up victuals and
| maintain any sort of moral peise. We
of that portion of the West that is
west of the woody section have long
held the idea that the Chicago fed
man must eventually become so
| crooked that he may not lay on a tile
floor without bending 1t. Moral OBJ
| liquity Is largely matter of digestion.
A man cannot get fine large view of
humanity by viewing the universe
through a crack in door. So. a man
who victuals himself for the battle of
| life by taking what Is handed him at
the high counter cannot expect to be
quite at ease unless he is getting even
with his fellows by feeding them the
.husks and standing them on the high
stool.
We have no interest, directly, in the
outcome OF the strike. Let us hope
that 1t will continue long enough SO
that the regeneration of Chicago may be
Insured even in small measure. The
starvation cure has helped many Ills.
Stall feeding has made Chicago what
it is a magnificent success from the
stockyards point OF view. Perhaps a
temperate life will help the morals of
| the town. In which event we might
feel that we had not been tipping the
waiter in vain.

NEGRO is CHAMPION RIFLE SHOT
Quarter master Sergeant Hawkins, of
24th Infantry, Wins Gold Medal

A negro, Quartermaster Sergeant
Emmett Hawkins, Co. K, Twenty
fourth infantry, is the champion rifle
shot Of the Department of the Dakotas.
and seven out of the twelve members
of the rifle team which will represent
the department are negroes.
Complete summaries for the COM
petitive target practice Of the infantry
commands Of the Department of the
Dakotas and the Lakes were received
at headquarters in st. Paul yesterday.
The Twenty-f1rst infantry gets four
places on the department team, and
three medals, two silver and one
bronze, were wen by men from Fort
Smelling. The fourth medal captured
in the TWenty-first is a silver decora-
ton won by First Lieutenant Walter B.
| McKaskey, who gets sixth place on
the team.
The gold medal and seven places on
the team go to enlisted men Of the
Twenty fourth, colored. One of the
white officers of the regiment is also
placed on the team.
Sergeant Hawkins, winner of the
gold medal and first place, made the
splendid total of 1872 out Of a possible
score of LOO. Second, fourth and
ninth places on the team come to Fort
Smelling and were won respectively by
Quartermaster Sergeant Fred o.
Richardson, Company with a total of
76S; Sergeant Louis II. Aperian, M
Company, total 1877 and Regimental
Sergeant Major Joseph Dresher, total
SOL. Sergeants Richardson and
Aperian receive silver medals Ser
geant Major Dresher a bronze decora-
ton.
The decidedly better showing made
by the negro troops over the men Of
the Twenty first. is, according to Maj.
Wilder, adjutant general and inspector
of small arms practice, not due to any
natural superiority of negroes on the
range. On the contrary, it is con-
tended by army experts that the ccl-
ored troops are not naturally as good
shots as the white men.
The very decided difference in show
ings is accounted for by the fact that
negroes stay in the army while since
the Spanish-American war the "old
soldier" element has very rapidly
dwindled away in the white regiments.
All of the negroes placed on the team,
with two exceptions. were non-com-
missioned officers and of a grade
which In itself indicates long service
