The annual report of Gen. +. G. Aims

army. the first issued from his office
since its creation by Congress at its last
session. gives the total strength of the
army at the close Of the last fiscal year
at 3,SI1 officers and 6S,946 enlisted men.
The loss Of officers from death, dismissal,
retirement and other causes was 155.
The number of enlisted men lost by death
was 1876.
fever cases at West Point is attributed to
an attack made on the mosquitoes.
Speaking of the militia, it is said that
very satisfactory progress has been made
toward bringing the organized militia, re-
speeding armament. equipment and dis
cipline. up to the standard of the regu-
lar army. A total of G,966 officers and
S3,102 enlisted men of the militia or
CARNATIONS were present at the inspec-
lions.
Referring to the act Of Congress pro-
yiding for Il roster of officers and enlisted
men of the Union and Confederate ar
mics, the report says that the responses
Of the Governors addressed inviting their
cooperation have been such as to assure
the department that they fully appreciate
the Importance Of the work and will CO.
operate heartily with the department in
its efforts to give to the Confederate
soldier the place that is due him in The

Old Marriage Certificates.

Theorists are to be found all over
the world who advocate that no man
or woman shall be allowed to marry
who has not certificate of freedom
from transmissibie disease. Not
even the most extreme. however, would
go so far as a Prussian official in the
town of Rappin, one of whose duties
is to inspect butchers meat and another
to place the official seal on marriage
certificates. The Berlin Lokalanzeiger
states that on one occasion he used the
wrong stamp and instead Of sealing
the nuptial contract he certified that
the happy pair were free from trichinO-
sis. The absurd mistake was not dis
covered until some days had elapsed,
with the result that the high court
of Berlin has had to be set IN motion
to rectify the error.

PARKER FOR CONCORD.
Keynote of His Address to the Democ-
racy Is "Get Together"

Judge Parker has given TO the press
az open letter, addressed TO the Dem
ocracy Of the nation" in which he thanks
those in charge of his campaign work
and declares that the people will soon
realize that THE tarilf-fcd trusts are alb
sorbiuG the wealth OF the nation" In
his letter Judge Parker says he shall
never again seek nomination for public
oiicr. He discusses the difficulties en-
couatgrcI b. the Democrats in making
their campaign this year and makes sug-
gestions regarding harmony in the party.
IN conclusion the judge says that in
the presence Of defeat lie does not heSi-
tate to say that, in his opinion, the great
moral question that cOnfrOnts the Demo
Gratis Is, shall the trusts and corporations
be prevented from contributing money to
control or to aid in controlling elections
Referring to the Democratic party,
Judge Parker says: I'VE must forget the
difficulties of the past. If any one sus-
poets his neiGhbOr of treachery let him
not hint of his suspicion. If ne knows
he has deserted us let him not tell it.
Our forces have been weakened by di-
visions. We have Quarreled at times over
EOn-eSSentialS
''If we would help the people we must
forget the differences of the past and
begin this day to build up wherever it
may be needed broad and effective or
ganizatiOn. And we must by constant
teaching, through the press and from the
platform, apprise the people of the way
the vicious tariff circle works."
Judge Parker expects to enter New
York law firm. He declines to name the
firm, although it is understood that his
arrangements are completed.
w. J. Bryan blames the Democratic
abandonment of radicalism ut the St.
Louis convention for the party'S over
whelming disaster at the polls. In a
long statement he lashes the conserva-
tive reOrglniZers and proposes planks for
a platform to be used in 1908. He re-
peats Judge Parker's charge that the
trusts contributed to the Republican cam
paign fund in the expectation of receiv-
ing immunity from the law.
In his proposed platform Mr.. Bryan
says death to private monopoly" should
be the Democratic slogan. His prime
issue is trusts, but he would attack the
tariff and Imperialism, strip national
banks of certain powers, restore free sill
yer, levy an income tax, prevent govern
ment by injunction and have the people
elect federal judges. Mr.. Bryan wants
to go to work at once to reclaim the
Democratic party to radicalism and says
he will do all he can in the fight.
Mr.. Bryan says: The result WAS due
to the fact that the Democratic party at
tempted to be conservative in the pres
ence of conditions which demand radical
remedies. 1t sounded a partial retreat
when it should have ordered charge
all along the line"

An Honest ODiniOn.

Mineral, Idaho, Nov. 14.-(SpeciaD
That a sure cure has been discovered
for those sciatic pains that make so
many lives miserable, Is the firm opin-
ion of Mr.. d. S. Coison, Il well-known
resident of this place, and he does not
hesitate to say that cure is Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. The reason Mr.. Colson is so
firm in his opinion is that he had those
terrible pains and is cured. Speaking
of the matter, he says:
Il am only toe happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots OF
good. l had awful pains in my hip so
L could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney
Pills stopped it entirely. think they
are grand medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid
neys and healthy kidneys strain all the
Uric Acid out of the blood. With the
cause removed there can be no Rheu-
matiSm or Sciatica

WHY SHARKS HAVE GONE
Enst River Deserted By '1ancaters II,
Cuuac of Ifa Condition.

Enst River Deserted By Tancaters Be-
cause of Its Condition.
1T has not been great many years
since I've seen SHARKS ia the East Riv-
err said the veteran plot on one OF
the United States revenue cutters the
other day to a Brooklyn Eagle writer.
And there were plCgty OF maneaters,
too. They used to hang around Fulton
market docks, where they would get
plenty TO eat in the fish offal that
would be thrown overheard from the
fishing smacks.
The reason that sharks are no long
or seen in The river and bay is not be-
cause of the ocean liners. There's
plenty of room for the shark Car be-
low the point where the ships bottom
reaches to. But sharks are clean ami
mails. They will touch only those
things that have been freshly killed
or are alive No shark Will touch
three-days' fioater under any circum-
stances.
But the sewage into the bay and
rivers on both sides of New York has
made New YOrk's home waters unten-
able for fish. There is very little good
fish this side of Sandy Hook. hardly
any at all. in fact. except cells. And
everybody knows that eeis are the
dirtieSt scavengers n, tae water any
where.
up to the time that Mike Dady
went to Havana TO Start his sewage
system the harbor OF havana was
sharks paradise. When the sewer
pipes began draining into Havana bay
the shark began to clear out. 50 did
the fishes. In time you won't hear
Of a shark in Havana harbor any more
than you ever hear Of one this side OF
Sandy Hook. The water right around
Manhattan island is pretty filthy How
people can possibly enjoy swimming in
it Is more than | understand. \ mouth
full of water from the East or North
river or the bay has more microbes
to the square inch than all the CrotOn
that comes into New York. SO you
see the sharks have more sense than

Six States which went for Roosevelt
elected Democratic Governors. They
are Massachusetts, West Virginia,
Minnesota, Colorado, Missouri and Ne
braska. Roosevelt carried Nebraska
by $4,000, but Berge, the Democratic
nominee for Governor, was elected by
about 5000 The Legislature will be
Republican, so that William Jennings
Bryan may not go to the United States
Senate this year. The State of Wash
ington fell into line with 10000 for
Roosevelt. and Senator Turner, Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, who

Army Drums Hauled by Dogs

\ curious feature connected with the
Servian army is the manner in which
most of the regiments carry the big
drum. 1t is not. as in most countries,
slung in front of the man who plays
it, but is placed upon a small two
wheeled cart drawn by a single dog.
which has been so trained that it keeps
its place even through the longest and

mer takes up a position behind the cart

the largest any candidates have ever
received When the electors meet
343 OF them viii east their vote for
the Republican candidates and l53
Will be east for the Democrats. The
figures are the result of the Repubii-
can electors carrying every one Of the
so-called doubtful States, including
West Virginia. the home Of Davis.
The States that contributed chiefly
10 the success OF the Republican can
didate are New York and Indiana.
The former surpassed all expectations
by rolling UP plurality Of more than
$4,000 for the Republican ticket, anu
the latter was kept III the Roosevelt
and Fairbanks column by plurality
of over 10000. In addition to these
two pivotal States. the ones placed i'll
the doubtful column by the Demo-
cratic managers were Connecticut,
Delaware. New Jersey, Rhode Island
and West Virginia. all of which went
strongly Republican, with Roosevelt
heading the ticket. as they did four
years ago. when Mckinley Won over
BRYAN. Colorado. Idaho and Nevada
also fell into the Republican ranks,
though they were counted for Bryan
on the anti-imperialism platform OF
1900. Even Missouri climbed into the
Republican band wagon.

q plurality of 10000, while Minnesota
trotted along with $4,000, New Jer-
sew with 10000 and Michigan with
10000. Folk was elected Governor of
Missouri despite the fact that Roose-
Welt carried the State and nearly all
the Republican candidates with him.
The Missouri Legislature will be Re
publican on joint ballot, which will
Dreyont Senator COckrell'S return to
the Senate. Colorado gave Roosevelt
$4,000 plurality, but Peabody is de-
feated for Governor by 5000. In Wis
consin, where the La Toilette and
Spooner Republicans have been at
swords points, Roosevelt won with
$4,000 plurality, and La Toilette was
elected by 10000. Congressman Bah
cock. chairman of the Republican Con
gressional Committee, won out with

gave Roosevelt S6,2T9 plurality, but
elected Douglas. the Democratic candi-
date for Governor. by 35,710 plurality.
Full returns from all parts Of the
country, with only three congressional
districts missing, show that the House
