A Sad Death,

The family of Mr.. r. s. Turk has
received Intelligence of the sad and
untimely death of an acquaintance who
was at their house during the past
summer. He was young Mr.. Caleb
Harvey Farnum, a native of PrOvi-
dence, r. l., and young IN an of most
comely person, gracious manner,
education, and accomplishments. He
belonged to a class which had been for
some time past studying Forestry on
the Vanderbilt estate near Asheville.
N. C. under DIR. Schenck, who had
a very celebrated and exclusive school,
from which he had gone direct to
Washington, d. g., to stand the Civil
Service Examination. This he did
successfully, being one of but two who
passed out of a large number, and i'm
mediately received his first regular
U. 8. Commission to survey on a
selected reservation in West Virginia,
passing by Staunton on the 14th of
July last. In September, he expected
to receive dispatch ordering him to
the PHILIPPINES, to sail in November.
Whilst in camp at Holden, W. Va, a
tree fell on him and crushed his leg,
be either dying under the operation or
from the effects Of the amputation.
1t was one of the most deplOrable of
accidents, and ended a life of promise,
and most hopeful, useful and doubt
les brilliant career.

A Smart Dutch Horse.

There is DO diminutiOn of interest in
the marvellous horse Hans OF Berlin
whose almost incredible feats are per-
formed even in the absence OF his
teacher, Herr Won Osten.
Not only does he read and under
stand human language, but he Can
recognize persons from their photo
graphs. He was recently told to re-
member the phrase Forest and bridge
are occupied by the enemy" and next
day took his alphabet and spelt out
the words correctly.
Thousands of people, including gen.
erals and high officials, crowded to
Herr Won OsteD's house to see the
wonderful animal until the police
closed the street. The Minister foI
Education is about to appoint a scien
tilic commission to observe Hans for
a few months and issue a report.

KUROPATKIN STRATEGY.

For some time back Gen. Kuro-
patkin has been making those moves
in military strategy which have been
the source of so much hope in Russia,
aud the subject of SO much criticism
and amusement elsewhere. Every
time his base has been changed. as
was McClellan's about Richmond in
the late civil war, or his headquarters
shifted as were those of Gen. John
Pope in the wilderness campaign,
the Russian has consoled himself by
asserting that this is just the thing
Gen. Kuropatkin had planned from
the outset. When the Japs crossed
the Yalu river some months ago and
crushed the opposing force, sending
some of it into Port Arthur and some
toward Mukden, the result was 'KurO-
patkin strategy" When little later
Gen. Stalkenberg started to crush the
Japanese army and relieve Port Ar
thur, but in the attempt lost, admitted
ly.3, 900 men and made a narrow escape
from capture, leaving 40 guns on the
field, this was "KurOpatkin strategy"
Since then many minor engagements
have been fought, rear guard engage
ments, as most of them have been
called, and every day the Russian
army finds itself retiring toward Its
bease, until it has retired about 200
miles north of Port Arthur, and on
each day we are told that this is
s'Kuropatkin strategy" 1t is hard to
see the depth of such strategy. 1t has
been costly to move this army from
place to place, so that if it has all long
been the intention of Gen. KurOpatkin
to force the Japanese to their present
position in order to crush them, he
might have sat down at Liao Yang,
and awaited their approach and thus
saved men and money. They would
have come there in the end. Kuro-
patkin strategy from the start has
been puzzle. The military experts
have watched it with interest because
tits developing new phases every day.
The layman is watching it with inter
est because be every day expects to
see some KurOki strategy which will
be the real thing. Poor Russia, We
suppose that she is about as much in
terested in KurOpatkin strategy as
anybody. but she must by this time
begin to feel that strategy to be
strategy must be strategy and not
military moves, which look we'll when
first begun but which in a little while
lose all semblance of anything but self
preservation, thing which in COM
mon parlance is called disastrous re
treat.

Mr.. Roosevelt fully intended when
the maneuvers at Manassas were plan
ned to attend them. But owing to
the military spirit of the man on

those managing the campaign decided
in the negative. This must be sore

allow him any privileges Is he to
be put in a cage and exhibited only

The Way the Idea Gf Using It Fos
 Light Was EidicuIrd.
 Great was the aInazcmcut of all Flu rope when at about the close of the century William Murdoch discovered that gas could be. used for Illuminating purposes. So little was the inv cntiOn understood by those who had not seen it in use that even the great and wise @ men of the British parliament laughed at the idea. How can there be light without a wickY' said one member of that august body. with q wink and a knowing nod. Even the great Sir Humphry Davy ridiculed tIie idea of lighting towns and cities with gas He one day asked Murdoch. "DG you mean to use the dome of St. Paufs for your gas meterY" Sir Walter Scott also made merry of the gas idea and of the coming attempt to ''iIluminats London with smoke from q tar fac tory"
 When the house of commons was finally lighted with the new iIIuminant the architect and custodian Of the building, who imagined that the gas ran as fire through the pipes, Insisted that they be removed several inches from the wall to prevent the building from taking fire! Several distinguished members were also observed carefully touching the pipes with their gloved fingers and then smelling of them te see If they could detect the Od0r oi burned leather.
