THE ARMY'S NAVY.
Land Branch of Our Military Service
Controls Nearly $50 Craft of
Various Kinds.

Most persons forget that the United
States army maintains considerable
navy. In fact, the various departments
of the army own and run nearly $50
craft of all kinds and sizes, besides the
so vessels belonging to the Mississippi
river commission, which are mainly run
under the direction of the army, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. That portion OF the
army's navy that the public hears most
about is the transports. There are near
ly a score of these, running in size from
the little Seward, which has gross
tonnage of GOT, to the Dix, Of more than
1900 tons. There are half a dozen trans
ports varying in tonnage from 5000 to
more than 5000. and half dozen more
running from 200 to $500 tons. Most
of these vessels are named for the he
roes of the army-generals such as Sher-
man, Sheridan, Hancock and Sedgwiek.
They never carry officers OF the navy,
except as passengers, and are In theory
commanded by an army officer. The
titular commander. however. has the
assistance Of civilian officers, who make
themselves responsible for the nayiga-
ton of the ship.

on Account Of tie Age Of
His Daughter.
SURPRISED THEIR FRIENDS

Hagerstown seems to be the Mecca
for clipping couples from this city. and
another youthful twain added their
names to the list Thursday morning by
eloping and getting married there.
The principals were Miss Bessie
Rhinaman, the 17-year-old daughter
of Mr. Thomas Rhinaman. and Mr..
Benjamin Dunn. a well. known en-
ploye of the Crawford Wooden mills,
in this city.
They left here on the s 10 train on
the Cumberland Valley. accompanied
by lady friend Of the bride, and were
married immediately upon their ar
rival in Hagerstown. The groom yes
Thursday went there and procured the
license, and also engaged the services
of the pastor of the Methodist Episco.
pal church, South, who performed the
ceremony.
They returned to this city on the
noon train, and delightful dinner
was served in their honor by the
groom's parents. Mr.. and Mrs. S. O.
Dunn, on South Raleigh street. They
left over the Baltimore 81 Ohio for a
trip. and will reside ON South Ra-
leigh street upon their return.
Miss Rhinaman's father objected
to the marriage because of the youth
of his daughter, but her aunt, Mrs.
Jones, who is the custodian of the
girls property and in a measure her
guardian, gave her consent. Their
intentions were known only to few,
and their marriage will be pleasant
surprise.

Many of the people of India are firm

BILE excitement has been caused there
by the strange story Of An incident
which recently occurred in the district
of Pegou. The natives there. says the
Chicago Chronicle, suddenly became
convinced that q 6-months-old child
was the reincarnation of the late Mr..
Tucker, superintendent of the district,
who was killed by bandits in 1894, and
that moment the unconscious infant
became the most important parsonage
in that part of The country.
1t was taken 10 several places in
which Mr.. Tucker had lived, and, ac-
cording to its attendants, its conduct
showed clearly that 1t remembered all
the incidents of its former life.
Finally 1t was taken to the place
where Mr.. Tucker was murdered. and

Murder in New York City in 1902

SUING FOR A STAR.
Dispute Over Ownership OF IA Meteor
Causes "A Unique Lawsuit
In Kentucky.

A unique suit has been filed in the
vile, Ky. II is for the possession OF
a meteor which fell on the lands be-
longing to the estate of the late +.
N. Ewing near that town. Thomas
j. Pergram found the meteor, and the
heirs of the Ewing estate brought suit
for its possession, alleging that as 1t
fell on their land it rightfully belongs
to them. Pergram has retained coun-
sci and says he will fight the case
to finish. He was required to give
$1,000 bond while the suit is pending.
The meteor weighs about 300
pounds. and was the main body Of the
big meteor which was seen on Novem-
Der Is. 1902. from New Orleans to
northern Ohio. Three pieces of the
meteor were seen to fall near here.
and two small pieces were found
few days later. One weighing l2N
pounds was sold to Prof. Harry A.
Ward, of Rochester, N. ", and Chi
cago. for $500. and he in turn dis
posed of it to the National Museum
at Washington, ID. c. The other
piece was sold to Kentucky State col
lege at Lexington. Several months
after the meteor fell Pergram was
hunting and found 1t on the side OF
a mountain, almost buried by its fall.
He knew what it was, and by help OF
a sled carried 1t to his home. Many
scientists have visited Pergram and
all have made offers, but he declined
them all An eastern college offered
him $500 for the meteor, but he de-
clined that also, and had made ar
rangements to exhibit 1t at the st.
Louis exposition. The case will be
tried at the October term Of circuit
court here.
In the case OF Goddard VS.. Win

DELUSvE SLOT MACHINES
Continue Their Merry Jingle De-
spite the Action Of City Council.
NO PRoHIBITlVE ORDINANCE
And the Only Way They Can Be Reached
is Through the Action Of the
States Attorney.

Al the last meeting OF the CITY coun-
ell the members requested that Mavor
Evans instruct the officers TO visit the
different places in this citv where slot
machines and other gambling devices
are in operation, and notify the pro-
priesors to retire the seductive and
delusive contrivances to condition
of innocuous desuetude for thwith.
The mayor. upon investigation, dis.
covered that there is no law under
which the instructions of the council
could be carried out.
There is no ordinance in Martins.
burg prohibiting the presence OF the
machines, although the mayor can
punish any one convictedof gambling.
Playing the machines comes under
this head, but inasmuch as the officers
are prohibited from entering saloon
while in uniform, unless summoned
bv the proprietor. it IL difficult to
procure information of this character.
The only manner in which the ma
chimes can be reached is through the
states attorney. who is empowered by
the state law to proceed against them.
Since the last meeting OF the council
there have been several new machines
added to the number in this city,
while only one man has discontinued
the operation of his machine.
1t is reported at city headquarters
that the ordinance committee will
frame and recommend the l.assage Of
an ordinance that will eliminate the
slot machines from the scheme of
things in this city.

Mr.. Lorae was very much pleased
with what had been done as we'll as
with the work that is being done at

GUESTS WHO FORGET TO PAY
Association of Hotel Keepers Formed
to Give swell Delinquents
Gentle Reminder.

Not the vulgar or garden variety
of beat" troubles the hotel keepers
these days, but the person of preten-
tious title and often of aristocratic
lineage who forgets to pay his score
1t is against this sort of delinquent
debtor that the National Hotel Keep
ers' Protective association is operating
through moral suasion," and the last
report shows it has made such prog
ress that neglecting hotel bills is no
longer considered good form among
that uncertain class. The moral intiu-
ence which has been brought to bear
consists of an intimation that unless
the bill Is paid the name of the tardy
patron will be published in the hand
book of the association.
I'm not entertaining society here to
any great extent" said Simeon Ford,
of the Grand Union hotel in New
York, "but know of many fashionable
houses where persons who trace their
pedigrees back to the revolution go
away and just naturally forget to pay
their bills. If anything is said about
it they rise up in ancestral dignity
and say: 4 won't submit to such
thing; I'm going right away from
here"
Edgar A. Waltz, president of the pro-
tective association, said:
1.-THE campaign is directed against
persons high in official life or near
the top of the social scale For in
stance, we had on our books a general
who owed one hotel $1,000, which he
paid when his name was published,
and later he paid $4,000 more to vari-
GUS hotels throughout the country.
Another man. son of a prominent
statesman, was $4,000 in arrears.
Members of congress. men who pose
as clergymen, and men who have the
name of being in very way RESPONSE
BILE, are among those whom it is neces-
sary to remind of their obligations.
Reports of the association show that
during the last ten years $270,000 has
been paid in by delinquent debtors
Last year the hotels received 10000
of what they called bad debts.
