army for a remission of a fine i'm
posed upon him for falling to declare

DELAYED Action Too Long.

Judge Hebbard yesterday dismissed
the case of George w. Armbrus-
ter against R. McColgan and
William 10 Leet on account
of the plaintiffs dilatoriness in
prosecuting. The suit was brought
to recover $3437 rs alleged to be due
for redeeming real estate at fore
closure sale. Leet got title to the
property through McColgan and got
Judgment for ejectment against
Armbruster. The latter case was ap-
pealed and Armbruster delayed the
suit for money in order to see what
disposition the Supreme Court would
make of the ejectment matter.

a FEW NOTES,

A few years ago Jean de Reszke, the
great artist. was singing at an "at
home" He noticed how eagerly, almost
ravenously, a somewhat thin. careworn,
very shabbily clad clergyman was
drinking In every word OF his magnif-
cent song. Just before he left De
Reszke inquired Of his host about his
fascinated listener and learned that he
was a very poorly paid, hard worked
vicar In a certain town about forty
miles from London and was such a
passionate lover Of music that he had
walked the whole distance In order to
hear the great singer. The big hearted
tenor left the house quietly--nay, sadly
and thoughtfully. Six months after this
there was great JOY In the hungry
household of tie poor, delicate, music
loving vicar. That very evening a lit
tie concert got up for his benefit by a
few sympathetic parlshloners was to
be given. A few hours before its COM
mencement the vicar received letter
from De Res2ke saying: 81 intended
running down to your town to contrib
ute something to your little concert to-
night | intended singing few notes.
However, as | cannot sing you these

that he matriculated at Westfield.
From his earliest childhood he had
manifested a remarkable talent for mu-
sic, and II is likely that an early APP
plication to technique would have made
virtuoso Of him. AS 1t was he was so
infatuated with the study that immedi-
ately upon his graduation at the normal
school he entered the New England
Conservatory OF Music at Boston,
where he became a pupil Of DR., Louis
Mas. leader Of the Boston Philharmo-
mic, who found him possessed Of much
musical ability,
In order to equip himself for actual
business and so escape the musicians
reputation OF lack of practically he
combined the study OF stenography
with that of harmony. Under the in
struction of James Il. Munson, the
originator OF the system bearing his
name, the young man became so inter-
ested In shorthand that he abandoned
music and devoted all his energies to
the requirement OF the new art AL
though he never resumed the study OF
theoretical music, Mr. Cortelyou Is to-
day one Of the most notable amateur
musicians i'm the country In this dis
tinction he ranks with the veteran Carl
Schurz, of whom IL has been affirmed
that II he had not been so great a pub
licist he might have been am even
greater pianist.
When Munson was appointed official
stenographer of the superior court Cor
telyou became his assistant. Shortly
afterward he resigned and began
pedagogical career which continued
four years. 1t was during this period
that he married Miss Lily NJ Kinds,
daughter OF the Hampstead principal
After his marriage Mr. Cortelyou en-
tered the public service, first IN the ca
pacity OF private secretary to various
minor government officials and IN

Cleveland. lie was promoted TO exec
utiye clerk in 1896, became assistant
secretary to President Mckinley in
1898, and In 1900 he was invited to act
as secretary to President Roosevelt
Although Mr.. Cortelyou's eight years
OF efficient service at the white House

so many powerful friends that his fur
ther promotion was "a matter Of course.

paper IL specially made for the purpose
and is sprlnkled with gold leaf. only
the last few lines of the somewhat
lengthy document contain the purport
Of the letter, while the remainder is
made up Of the usual roundabout and
complimentary phrases. It Is folded in

fence and with loss OF life. Fortresses
are designed and built In time OF peace
and are fashioned to meet theory Of
what In likely to occur when war makes
It's appearance. When war comes II is
so frequently unlike what has been an
ticlpated that the costly defensive
structure is found to be practically use
less.
Toulon, for instance, was designed as
stronghold which was to be capable Of
wlthstanding any force that might be
brought against It from seward. The
best French engineers were engaged in
It's construction and infinite pains were
taken TO prevent any error OF construc-
ton II seems never to have occurred

ify his course by the necessity which
arises for him to send troops and mu-
nitions either TO relieve or to hold Sc
cure some distant stronghold which at
the moment is Of no possible advantage
and is likely to prove burden. The
loss of Sedan In the Franco Prussian
war was a remarkable example Of this
state OF affairs

ward, That was precisely the manner
In which 1t was approached. The young
French Republicans, with whom was
lieutenant Of artillery named Napoleon
Bonaparte, besieged and bombarded Il
from the land side, and 1t was taken
without difficulty.
An instance Of the fallibillty OF judg-
ment displayed by American strategists
during the civil war may be found in
the case Of the taking Of Fort Sumter.
That fortress was built originally to
protect the city of Charleston from the
attack of a hostile fleet The posi-
bility of the city falling into the hands
of the hostiles had not been provided
for and the Confederate forces with
great lack of consideration for the
plans OF the builders, bombarded the
fort from landward and speedily eff
fected its capture with slight loss to
themselves.
