hittridge is one of the youngsters,
although he seems older than he is.
He was graduated at Yale in 1882 and
is only AZ years of age. He is a great
friend of John Kean, who left Yale
10 years before. He is noted in the
senate for his good nature, for his
imperturability and an inscrutable
face, which would be money-maker
at poker table.
He has an idea that so long as South
Dakota remains a republican state he
can remain i'll congress as a South
Dakota senator and he intends to mako
the most of that possibility. There
are too few senators nowadays who
come to Washington with the idea of
making this their permanent career.

The japanese officers were lucky
enough to receive very rapid advance
ment when they got home and some of
them were rear admirals while their
American classmates were still drndg-

and have arrived at very gratifying
conclusion.
1t seemed little hard that such dis
tinguished dignitaries as the chief jus
tice of the supreme court, the speaker
of the house of representatives, the adj
miral of the navy and the lieutenant
general of the army should be COM
PEELED by the rules of social precel
ence to wait in line at the white house
reception until a miscellaneous collec-
ton of ambassadors and diplomats had
been ushered into the presence. 1t is
no wonder that the supreme court jus
tees who were the first to run up
against the edict of the social arbiters
should file an indignant protest. So
Adee and McCawley got into conjunc-
ton and evolved a scheme by which
everybody will be satisfied.
AT the reception given in honor Of
the diplomatic corps, the diplomats
will head the line. Nobody objects to
that At the other three receptions,
that to the judiciary. to congress and
to the army and navy, the diplomats
will not be in line at all. They will
form little group by themselves In
the oval of the blue room in front Of
the door, where the president stands
and they will watch the procession go
by, Thus they will be honored specta-
tors and they will not interfere with
anybody Everybody will be satisfied
and the game can go on

,(SA war is HE'LL" is again to
SNl&I spell it's awful truth out be-
~ fore the world. The boom
Of cannon, the roar of mus
kerry. the clashing of saber and bayo-
net, will be followed by the scenes OF
agony and death. The raging, merci-
less monster of war presses on in re-
lentless pursuit of his human victims,
and leaves behind the hundreds and
thousands of wounded, and dying and
dead, and then along this bloody path
comes the gentle tread OF the messen-
gers OF mercy, as they seek to undo as
far as possible the awful destruction
wrought, to alleviate the suffering, and
to sweeten the dying moments of the
fatally wounded. AS modern invention
and ingenuity have increased the ter
riblenoss of war there has been COR
responding advance made in the organ
lZation, equipment and drill of the hos
pital and ambulance corps of the
armies of the various countries.
Japan, who has amazed the world in
the last dozen years by her remarkable
development and splendid advance
along commercial, industrial, educa-
tional lines, has at the same time been
perfecting her army and creating a
navy that is her pride and boast, and
w.. W.. dread of her present foe: 49,! As
Laps the most striking feature and eff
ficient branch of Japan's army organ
ization, splendid as it is, is the hospital
and medical service. Japan is cred
tied with having the model field and
military hospital service of all modern
armies. At Tientsin and Picking in
1900 it is said that it proved it's eff
ticiency and practical superiority when

solely On professional grounds Japan
for the last few years has been pursu-
ing a naval policy exactly in accord
sance with that which Secretary Moody
has insisted should be pursued by the
United States. The Japanese navy has
spent money in maneuyers, has used
up powder and has worked its officers
to the limit of endurance. The result
was shown at Chemulpo.
Now that is exactly what Secretary
Moody has been doing with the Amer
lean navy at the risk OF severe criti-
clsm by the economists in congress and
Of some ridicule by the opposition
newspapers. So he regards Japan s
victory over Russia as complete vim
dication of the programme which he
Ind adopted.
Russia for the last few years has
pursued a policy directly contrary to
that OF Japan. Its navy has been sub
ordinated to the army, there has been
an absence of discipline and general
slovenliness in control. Russia has
been paying only half as much for
armor plate as we have been paying
and the result is shown in the CELEBRITY
with which its battleships yielded to
the Japanese attack. Altogether the
situation is one which is especially
gratifying to the men who have the
destinies of our navy in their keeping.

BOIL WORM IN KINDS.

issue that in that locality the boil
worm appears to be nearly as bad as
the boil weevil. Having made its
appearance in this section great dam

of them are making quick work de-
stroying of bolls in his field near Ad-

bolls showing the worm and how 1t
eats into the centre and kills the boil
before it is matured. Mr.. Ferguson
says he could have gathered cot
ton basket full of destroyed bolls in
a short while had he desired. He says
the fly from this worm is Of yellow
ish to dark brown color. The worm
we have before us is OF q very light
yellowish color, abont an inch long.

vided deed is executed by Francis

tees of said school. It is further or
dered that said school shall embrace
the same territory formerly assigned.
In the matter Of moving the Arm.
stead school to Clarksburg on petition
of W. S. Sims ct al filed this day, on
motion the board decided to post
pone decision of the question to a

ton the south half Of sections 81, 80,

formerly embraced in the Poplar

full consideration of the matter, the

Whereas, there are so many small
schools located in Rankin county,
some of which in our opinion ought

difficulty to many in attending other

gest to the county superintendent that
when the average attendance at any
school does not exceed ten pupils
that he will not pay more than the
minimum salary as fixed by law.
