RETIRED AS COLONEL
Veteran of the Marine Corps
Runs Counter to a Petty
Official.

Washington, Aug. BY order of
the president, Colonel Robert f
Meade of the United States marine
corps will be retired Oct. next in his
present grade. Because of a lisre
spectful letter which Colonel Meade
recently addressed to the navy depart
ment the president took advantage of
the law which provides that when an
officer in the army or marine corps
shall have reached the age of 81 years
he may be retired on his own request,
or by order of the president.
Colonel Meade recently requested
that he be retired at an advanced grade.
The law does not permit officers in the
marine corps to be retired with ad-
Vanced rank, but the president ap-
proved of Meade's application for re-
tirement. Displeased that both his
requests had not been granted, it is
understood that Colonel Meade ad-
dressed another letter to the depart
ment, requesting that his application
be Withdrawn and charging. among
other things, that the conditions for
his retirement had been ignored. The
acting secretary recommended to the
president that Colonel Meade be al
lowed to withdraw his application for
his retirement and that he be relieved
in accordance with the law on his
siXty-secOnd birthday. President
Roosevelt has promptly approved the
recommended ions of Acting Secretary
Darling and the necessary order has
been issued.

Affidavit Of ]. c. Sharp.

The fourth most important point re-
lied upon by the defense for n new
trial was the admission of the affidavit
of J. g. Sharp regarding his paying
MOrtensen $500 a short time before
the crime was committed The court
holds that although a defendant is sup
posed to be confronted by all wit
nesses, in this instance the facts
brought out in the affidavit were in
favor of the defendant, as they helped
to explain where he got the $500 which
he alleged he gave Hay on the night
Of the murder. As the evidence was
all in favor of the prisoner at the bar,
and against the state, il was not
grounds for reversal
The admission of the revelation Of
James Sharp was commented upon fur
Their The defense took the stand that
what Sharp said was not proper evil
dence, because his utterances were not
made in the presence of the defendant.
To that the court takes exceptions.
The judges hold that Mortensen was
standing close to the patrol wagon in
which lay the dead body Of Hay. When
Sharp accused Mortensen of the crime
he uttered the words while looking az
the inanimate form before him; tnen
he turned and looked Afortensen

"Why do members of the English par

FOUNDER Of curious questions. 1t happen
ed that in 1870, during the reign of Eng
lands King John, that the difficulty with
Philip II. of France concerning the duchy
Of Normandy must needs be settled by
single combat, and John. the Earl of Ul-

appeared on the field Of encounter his adj

speed as great as his fear, galloped
away, and England's champion was left

to bestow a suitable reward upon a hero
whose mere presence was enough to in

of q request for titles and lands, of which
he already had a plenty, asked the fol-
lowing original favor: II beg that in flu

The Inventors of Stoves.

One Of the first attempts at making a
closed stove of iron was made by Cardinal
Polignac in 1709 and seven years later an
attempt was made to introduce stoves of
this kind into England, but without sue
cess, owing to the prejudice of English
people in favor of seeing their fire.
The Franklin stove was invented by
Dr. Franklin in LAS. and quarter Of a
century later, in It'll, and during few
years following the discoverer of electric.
ity invented several other stoves, one or
which was designed for burning bitumf-
nous coal and which had downward
draft and consumed it's own smoke.
Count Rumford was the next person
to make an invention looking to the i'm
provement OF stoves and during the ten
years between 17S5 and 1895 devised sew
eral improvements.
