Jersey. if not in the country. Myers
is now 20 years old, and still in ac-
tive service. Myers has fifteen chill

pupils.
Mrs. Mamie Bonds has filed suit for
divorce in the District Court of Beau
mont, Tex. alleging that she recently
became converted to the Baptist faith
and that her husband, ]. I. Bonds, per-
sistently, and without any valid and
legitimate reason, refuses to permit her
to be baptized, causing her great men
tai anguish and fear of losing her soul
causing her to be estranged from her
husband by reason of his soothing re-
marks. and that life with him is I'M
bearable and a persecution.
Secretary Loeb at the White House
the other day opened letter from a
Kansas woman who began by saying
she was soldiers widow. Thinking
it related to pensions and the COM
munication being very long he sent
it to Pension Commissioner Ware.
The latter read it through and found
that the writer asked for a great
many impossibilities, winding up with
request that the President send her
some. of his .cast-off clothing for her
children. Next morning Mr.. Loeb re-
ceived the following, signed by Eugene
F. Ware: My Dear Secretary-This

Told in Washington.

Representative John Sharp Williams,
the minority leader, in illustrating the
Republican principle of reciprocity,
says the New York Worlds Washing
ton letter, told this story of his school
days:
MY old teacher, a Scotch woman,
was decidedly opposed to the boys
swapping knives. | had traded a new
Barlow knife one morning and she call
ed me up and asked me where my
knife was.
I snapped it with Hiram Smith, l
answered.
Then I'm going to give you a whip
ping. In swapping knives a boy is
either a fool for letting another boy
cheat him or a knave for cheating the
other. That's the way with the Re-
publican idea of reciprocity
1--WE Americans are the best on
earth,'' chuckled Senator Spooner.
Our sense of humor is a constant de-
light.
Il was coming up in the car this
morning when a rough-looking chap,
evidently workingman, gave the con-
ductor a five-cent piece for his fare.
The conductor looked at the nickel and
then said: Here, sir, this is a bad
nickel
Well said the workingman, what
do you want me to do with it-give it
licking or send it to Sunday
school?"

THE HILL-MURPHY CONTEST.

1t seems to be admitted in political
Mr.. Murphy. the Tammany leader, for
MIR. Cleveland for the Democratic nom
ination for President isn't sincere. He
has been talking Mr.. Cleveland, so it
is claimed, to mask the real candi-
date he has in view, namely. Mayor
Mcclellan. 1t is said to be his plan
to keep the New York delegation
from being instructed so as to prevent
instructions to delegations from other
states, and then have Bourke Cochran
nominate Mcclellan in one of his pow
erful speeches as the choice of New
York and thus effect the latter's NOM
ination.
The friends of Judge Parker are
not inclined to permit him to carry
out that programme. Their claim is
that they will have a majority of the
state convention, and that there will
be instructions for Judge Parker. 1t
is their purpose at the meeting of the
Democratic State Committee to have
the state convention called at an early
a day as possible, for the reason that
in about every state Democrats are
waiting on New York. Democratic
leaders in the West and in the South
when asked as to the choice of their re-
spective states for President, say that
they are all waiting on New York.
There is no doubt that If New York
should announce for Judge Parker
there would be a general movement
for him. 1t doesn't look now as II
Mr.. Murphy would be able to carry
out this plan. not only because there
isn't enough sentiment In favor of Mr.
Mcclellan, but also because there is
a feeling against genuine Tammany
candidate. 1t is believed in many
parts of the country that a Tammany
man wouldn't stand as good chance
other things being equal, of being
| elected as a man to whom TammanS
wasn't particularly friendly
1t is true that the Tammany mer
are not unfrlendly to Judge Parker
but they do not like ex-senator Hill
and II is well known that Hill is max
ing the fight for Parker. 1t is no
i improbable that there will be devel
opments at the meeting of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee to da!
that will indicate to some exten
whether Hill or Murphy will contro
/ the state convention.

He Was Not Tired.

Il was travelling down South" said
John S. Flaherty, manager of the Ma
jestic Theater, of New York. says
the Philadelphia Ledger, land
while driving in the country / saw
a darby under a tree by the road
side. He was gazing lazily up through
the branches, while by his side was
a hoe. Weeds were growing luxu-
riantly in the cornfield which stretched
over acres into the distance.
What are you doing?" l asked the
negro.
Use out heah to hot dat corn,
said the darby.
THE answer was given in an mimi
table drawl. Then what are you do
ing under this tree? Resting? l per-
sisted.
No, sab, Use not restin'. was the
answer. 'Ah'mf not tiahed. Ah'm

Twenty-Five or thirty years ago the
"Grecian bend" was the vogue in wom-
ems fashions. Now it seems the bend"
has come again, and the woman who
cannot acquire it had as well be ''in
darkest Africa" as one beauty expert
said in New York the other day. But,
she assured her spell-bound hearers,
it is easy to acquire. Here is the re-
cipe: 'All they have to do to get
it is to walk on the ball of the foot,
with the knees stiff-walking on the
knees-thats what it is. It's walking
on the knees that gives individuality
to man or woman. It's not new; it's
natural. 1t was the thing last year,
but now they're just beginning to
recognize the fact. Every woman can
get it. 1 don't care how fat she is or
how thin she is, Wen give her good
figure If she'll only have some car
riage-and we don't need hip pads,
-anything-e&cept stiff knees. "
How anybody can have time for war
news, or political news, when such USE
full information as the foregoing is
floating about within reach is quite
hard to understand.

THE SIZE OLE THE NAVY.

Two items in the dispatches from
Washington yesterday relative to the
navy, were calculated TO arrest atten-
ton. One stated that the warship
Missouri had collided with the warship
Illinois on the passage from Guantan-
amo TO Pensacola, and that the Illi-
nois had been disabled and would have
to go to the New York navy yard.
The other item gave some points of
the discussion of the naval appropria-
ton bill in the Senate. Senator Hale,
who, it appears, is not in entire SYM
pathy with the policy Of the Navy De-
parment to keep on adding to the
number of warships until our navy is
as big as that of England, said the
plan of the naval board contemplated
forty battleships and twenty-four arm
ored cruisers, and that when that
stage was reached an appropriation of
5000, 100000 year would be needed for
the navy.
The first of the foregoing items sug
gests that something ought to be- done
tc secure greater care in handling bat
tleships and armored cruisers. Acct
dents to them of one kind and another
are of frequent occurrence. 1t is not
an uncommon thing to see 1t stated in
the dispatches that battleship or
cruiser has been injured in a collision,
or has struck a rock or has been
damaged by the discharge of a gun or
in some other way From the fire.
quency of these reports in the dis
patches it would seem as if a big per-
centage of the ships of the navy were
in the navy yards all the time under
going repairs.
AS to the second of the foregoing
items, the question is, have we need
of as big a navy as that planned by
the naval board? If we have, then the
policy of the board ought to be car
ried out, but if we haven't it ought
not to be. There is no reason why
hundreds of millions of dollars should
be expended in building a navy that
will cost $2OO,OOO.OOO year to main
tain. simply for the sake of having
navy as big as that of England or
Germany.
OF course, if we should have trouble
with a great naval power we should
want a big navy, and we should
want it quickly, but there is
no good reason for thinking We
shall have trouble with such
power. Besides, the views of naval
experts as to the effectiveness of the
various kinds of warships is constant
ly changing. Since the war between
Russia and Japan began it has been
admitted that there is wisdom in the
opinion that in future victory is like
ly to be on the side of the navy Which
has the more torpedo boats rather than
on the side of the one that has the
more battleships.
And, then, improvements are being
made all the time in all kinds Of naval
vessels-improvemen so radical that
boats built this year stand good
chance of being out of date five or
ten years hence.
1t is evident that the question Of
building a big navy at this time is
one in which there is room for an
honest difference of opinion. 1t cer-
tainly ought to be given very thoughts
full consideration.

Some months ago certain PhiIadel-

Bell as their property by right of in
heritance. Judge Thayer rendered a
decision in the matter, holding that
the bell is the property of the city
of Philadelphia, and that the city gov
eminent has the right to say when
the bell shall be removed from its
resting place and where it may be
taken for purposes of exhibition. Gov
Pennypacker was the other day APP
pealed to to prevent the removal of the
bell to st. Louis. He replied that he
had nothing to do with the ma tier
and that nobody had except its owner
the city of Philadelphia. There has
lately been some talk of the federal
government acquiring the bell and
removing it to Washington, but it is
hardly likely that Philadelphia would
give 1t up.

Smith, president of the Mormon
Church, that has been going on in
Washington during the past few days,

that is under investigation. Senator
Bailey of Texas interposed the re-
mark at one of the hearings that he
did not think Congress had anything
to do with religion and that all re-
ligions should be equal under the law
The line of questioning has APPARENTLY
been to secure from the Mormon presi-
dent the admission that polgamy is
regarded as a divine rule, and he has
admitted that he so regards 1t. That
being the case, and Senator Smoot
being one of the pillars and apostles
of Mormonism, point against his
