LEGAL QUESTION
 DELAYS HEARING
IMPORTANT POINT COMES UP IN CONNECTION WITH TRIAL OF MIDSHlPMAN DECATUR FOR HAZlNe AT ANNAPOLIS.

Annapolis, January 1o.--After an at tempt lasting over an hour to arrive at exact conclusions as to how far an upper classman could be compelled to testify as to his knowledge of hazing incidents in a case in which another midshipman is under trial on the charge of encouraging or countenancing hazing, the court mar tial now engaged in the trial of Midship man Stephen Decatur, Jr., at the naval academy rendered no decision, and ad- journed until tomorrow, when the judge advocate Is expected to inform the court in the matter
 The point came up after Midshipman Petersen B. Marsoni had objected to an- swering questions as to hazing, which it is alleged had gone on before him. In the former court martial of Midshipman Decatur Marsoni testified that he was present when Fourth Classman Gaylord Church was hazed by being compelled to do the "sixteenth." and that Decatur was present
 Proof of actual participation In hazing was necessary to fix that charge In the present trial, however, encouraging or countenancing' hazing is charged and 1t is charged that no midshipman who was actually present, particularly a first class man, could testify without discriminating himself. As it is expected that all of the cases yet to be tried will contain a charge and specification relative to "en- couraging or countenancing hazing," the decision upon this point is considered im- portant
 The first witness on the stand after recess was Midshipman Church of Mead vile, Pa, whose alleged hazing was the subject of a specification in Decaturs for mer trial, and also of the only specifca- tion under the charge lodged in pursuance of the act of 1908.
 Church said that he had laughed in ranks and Decatur, who Is a cadet lieu tenant in his company, had ordered him to his Decatur's) room to be reprimanded He had not been reprimanded, he said but some one whom he believed to be De- catur had ordered him to do the six teenth." He had obeyed, he said He was positive that Decatur was in the room part of the time but not sure wheth- CT or not he had gone out before the hazing had begun. Midshlpman Marsoni was then called to the stand and asked in regard to the incidents connected with Churchs alleged hazing He declined to answer on the ground of self-incrimina- tlon The court was cleared and re- mained In consultation for over an hour Tt was then reopened and Captain Reese, president of the court, announced an ad- journment until 10 o'clock tomorrow

When the first Turkish minister,
Mele Mele. came TO Washington, a
grand ball was planned IN his honor.
Hundreds Of invitations were sent out,
and nearly everybody who received
one came, for there was much curios-
ity TO see the important Turk in bis
native dress. Particularly were per-
sons anxious to examine the splendid
dress turban which had been described
and talked about, made, as It was, OF
plaster OF paris, yet looking Ike the
finest muslin. When the evening ar
rived, Mele Niele seemed to be the only
one who was not having a good time.
He stood looking as II he did not know
that everybody was admiring him and
altogether was very much bored till
suddenly he caught a glimpse Of a big
negro woman who was assisting In
serving the supper. Instantly he
rushed up 70 her and, throwing his
arms about her neck, gave her a good
kiss, explaining that he could not help
II, she reminded him so much Of his
best and most expensive wife, and,
while the company thought It a very
odd thing to do. everybody could I'M
derstand that he was a homesick man
and nobody minded 1t In the least.

TO the ailing dog as to the aiiing hu'

nasty dose. This is poured down his

lowed by few more doses, all OF

about dead when a friend utters.

The Order OF the Swan is a unique
decoration. Il has nothing TO do with
"Lohengrin." but was founded In 144S
by Elector Frederick II. OF Branden-
burg, surnamed the Iron Jawed."
or all the orders OF znighthood this
Is most remarkable, inasmuch as only
one solitary member IN Europe is en-
titled to wear It, and she is the wife
Of the reignlng Prussian monarch
the German empress. The insignia is
very beautiful. II consists Of a gold
chain set with diamonds. alternated by
a ruby heart to which is suspended a
medallion Of the Madonna and Child
and to which In turn Is suspended a
silver swan surrounded by q ring OF
frame Of exquisite pearls. With this
goes a superb star to be worn on the
left shoulder
Should the empress become a widow
she would be compelled TO relinquish
the insignia and her membership Of
the Swan to the present crown prin-
cess. This order has been worn in
turn by the wife Of every sovereign
occupying the throne Of Prussia since
1443, and II Is an object Of intense
pride IN the royal family.

The artist who had found Marshby
full Of 'paintable" places and friendly
people was much attracted by one Of
the young women Of the village, whom
he met at a social gathering. He
asked and was accorded permission to
escort her home from little party one
evening, and, as the evening was mild
and the moon was shining, they lin
gered at her gate for few minutes
conversation. Suddenly the stiffness
was broken by a hoarse shout which
came from an open window Of the
little house:
"Cast or that painteri Cast or that
painterr'
The artist started as II he had been
shot, but the young woman gave him
a reassuring smile and a becoming
blush.

said softly. Hes a retired sea cap
tain and often talks In bis sleep"

II seems really impossible to extin-
guish the noming instinct in a good
pigeon. A story Is told Of French
carrier pigeon which was captured by
the German soldiers during. the siege
Of Paris In 1870. The bird was being
carried IN balloon from Paris to
some point in the country, whence it
was expected to return to Paris with
q message. It was taken to the Ger
man headquarters and presented to
the commander, Prince Frederick
Charles, who sent 1t to his mother In
Germany. Here It was placed In
splendid roomy aviary and carefully
fed and nourished; but, although it was
kept here, living in the lap OF royal
luxury for four years. the French
pigeon did not forget its fatherland.
At the end OF that time the aviary
was left open one day. The pigeon
few out, mounted high In the air, flew
about for a moment as If TO find the
points Of the compass and started in a
straight line for Paris Ten days aft
erward It beat Its wings against the
entrance to its old loft In the Boule-
ward de Clichy. There 1t was recog-
nized, and, its case being brought to
public attention, It was honored as a
patriot returned from foreign captiv-
ity. 1t remained at the Paris Jardin
d'Acclimation until It died in 1878.

Negro heads are proverbial for solid
fly. but IN this respect they are far ex-
celled by certain Moorish tribes OF No
rocco, who take a very real pride in
the thickness OF their skulls. The heads
Of their boys are kept closely shaven
from the time when hair commences TO
show upon them and are never cover
ed, whatever the weather. This treat
ment so tends TO hlcken the Uranium
that the lads are able to fight with Il.
They butt as bulls do. and the weak
point IN the skull OF the loser n fro
quently sought for by hammering his

For a sum equal to a farthing these

receive the blows OF their opponents
upon their hardened pates.

Some one has said that we find what
we are looking for In this world. If
that Is true, and It is true In a GER
tain measure. how very much better
and more wholesome to be looking for
kindness rather than Sights. for hap
piness rather than misery, for the
flowers Of life rather than It's thorns,
says Woman's Life. Even when these
things seem impossible you may think
them 80. and by the power Of your IL
lusions make them come true. Illusion
and disillusion are to the mind what
rose colored and blue spectacles are to

play TO hold 30 fast to that which may
be mythical. but anything is worth

Have you never wondered how
when a wire is broken or damaged be-
tween two distant cities the operator,
sitting in his office, can tell exactly
where the accident has occurredf
The explanation Is very simple. 1t
requires force to send electricity
through a wire. The longer the wire
Is the greater Is the force required. This
force is measured, but instead Of call
ing It pounds, as In measuring the
pressure IN a boiler, electricians call
the units Of electrical force "ohms."
Suppose a wire between two Offices
is 100 miles long, and that on a stormy
night It gets broken somewhere. The
telegraphist knows that when the wire
was sound 1t took Just 2,1O0 ohms to
send current through, or IA ohms
per mile. He now finds that he can
send a current with only 700 ohms.
He divides 700 by IA. and finds that
the break IN the wire is fifty miles
from his end.
