en- relief measures with energy and are
sending food and clothing to the strick-

been compelled to wear coffee sacks for
clothing, and there are few sacks to be

DON'T EXPECT INDEPENDENCE.

A correspondent of a London news paper, writing from Tif1is, says that none of the revolutionists in Trans Caucasia are advocates of separatism. He declares that neither the Armenian agitators nor the Georgian Federalists, or the Social Democrats, cherish any il- lusions regarding. the possibility of an independent national existence for any of the Caucasian peoples, or of political independence for the Caucasus as a whole. The two nationalist parties are "autonomists, but they are not sep aratists." They recognize plainly that their only hope lies in the success of the revolutionary movement in Russia, and rely altogether on the support of the Russian popular party. The corre- spondent has talked with members of all these groups, and was told that the continuation of revolutionary activity in the Caucasus is dependent on it's continuation in Russia, The Caucas- ians recognize that the geographical and racial conditions of their country are such as to render the permanent in- dependence of its inhabitants an impos- sibility. Occasionally Georgians of the elder generation ask whether there is no hope of Englands declaring a pro- tectorate over Georgia, but these are rare exceptions-men who remember the "Panjdeh incident in 1885, when the probability of war between England

4 MIGHTY .FORCE.

Cooperation is a mighty force when properly directed and used. The talk is that it has even been able to pre- vent some of the Senior young gentle- men of Yale from having banquet with chorus girls. They say that the young gentlemen were notified by one of their Yale governors that if they went to the banquet they would be dis charged, and they also say that the chorus girls were notified by one of their governors that if they went they would be discharged. So neither the young gentlemen nor the young ladies went nobody is going to be discharged, and everybody but father is going to keep right on working.
 We don't know how true this story is. True or false, perhaps it will be denied in the good old way, but true or false 1t indicates what may or might be done. If the governors of Yale, the city authorities, theatrical managers and others interested would only honestly cooperate, the young gentlemen of Yale could, we believe, be induced to behave themselves better than they do. But perhaps such cooperation is even more of a dream than Socialism is.

Literary Beer.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 To philosophical students of sociology beer has been, is and ever will be a most important factor
 When men of old picked up their "schopenhauer' to study that mysteri- ous being called woman they always drank copious draughts of beer to aid them in the scientific research.
 When the class in sociology from our wisdom shops goes to gay Manhattan to study the quality of love- making prevailing on the Bowery the professor in charge invariably takes the boys to a beer hall where young men and young women congregate and drink beer, knowing that after these young people have looked at each other over several tall glasses the students are likely to get some very correct observations, to aid science, on the psychological phe- nomena of love.
 When writing mans life for one of the modern roads to greatness we have been told that it is most important to first ascertain whether the man drinks beer, and, if he does, whether he drinks it from stone mug or a glass.

ADMIRAL CAPPs, 1F YOU P1EASL

ADMIRAL CAPPS, IF YOU PLEASE.
 Many important and disturbing ques- tions remain unsettled, and nobody can tell when they will be settled. But thank goodness one question that has been important and disturbing is finally out of the way. This is the question raised by Rear-Admiral John H. Up- shur concerning the style of the visit ing cards used by Rear-Admiral Wash ington L. Capps. It appears that Capps, who is really a naval constructor and as such has risen to the head of the construction bureau, put the title of Admiral on all of his cards. He did this by virtue of an act of congress con- ferring upon bureau chiefs the rank and pay of rear-admirals. No one ex- cept Admiral Upshur objected to Ad- miral Capps use of his official title for social purposes, and Upshur's objection was based upon the contention that a man who merely built ships had no right to the dignity of one who sailed and fought them. The two officers had long and agitating correspondence, but Secretary Bonaparte has stopped it. He says that as Capps is an ad- miral under the law he has right to print the title in front or behind or in the middle of his name, just as he hap pens to think best.
 Of course Admiral Upshur wont be obliged to notice many of Admiral Capps visiting cards unless he wants to, but Admiral Capps is going to take some real pleasure in noticing them.

4 BAD PROFESSION ATTACKED.

Recently "the profession of getting hurt" has received some of the atten- ton it has merited. It is estimated that the amount of fraudulent and ex- aggerated claims against railroad and casualty corporations throughout the country is s450,oOO a year, and now these companies have organized into an alliance against such accident frauds. The president of the society is MT. Russell A. Sears of the Boston Elevated Railway Company. The other officers are well known railroad, street railroad and insurance men from all parts of the country, and former Assistant Sec retary of the Treasury Armstrong has been chosen one of the directors, The detectives who will be regularly em- ployed by this alliance are to seek out all shyster lawyers, unprineipled phy- sicians, lying witnesses and others who have joined in getting fraudulent dam- ages on make-believe accidents. The alliance solicits the cooperation of all state and national medical societies and the various bar associations in bringing into publicity and to justice all doctors and lawyers who are concerned in this dishonest business.
 Perhaps there ought to be a society to help people who honestly get hurt get proper compensation, but there can be no question that the society which has just been formed to work against acci- dent frauds is much needed.

a pint cup, and actually weighed less than a pound. As child he was sickly, too, and had a hard struggle to live at all, but was distinguished even then for his indomitable spirit. AS the years went by, however, his health improved and finally became rugged; but his frame remained that of child to the end.
 A planters son, his love of adventure led him to the wharfs. Tales of the buccaneers had set the imaginative boy to dreaming. He had visions of piliag- ing Spanish treasure ships; and, heed- less of his mothers fearful entreaties, he went to sea vat the age of sixteen. But he was wrecked when voyaging to the West Indies, and after five days in an open boat on tempestuous ocean, with nothing to drink but the blood of a dog, and nothing to eat but it's flesh, he was picked up with 8 new aprecia- tion of his home in the Sunny South. Here he lived, planting, hunting, read ing, loving dogs and horses, and dis tinguished for his taciturnity among his kind, until his father died. Then he moved to Belle Isle, s. C., and was cultivating a few acres which he owned there when, at twenty-three, the French and Indian war broke out, and he at once joined a troop of cavalry which his brother had raised and rode away to do battle for the English crown. In the southern provinces that war con- sisted solely in the repression of those Indian raids which French influence stirred up, or the unjust measures al- ways characterizing the English in their dealings with inferior races pro yoked Tn this desultory warfare young Marion conducted himself with de- termined daring that won the admira- tion of his fellow soldlers-The Outing Magazine.

Having been in Manchuria at differ ent times during the Russian occupa- ton before the war, says Thomas F. Willard, in Scribner's, during the Rus sian occupation after hostilities began, and then during the Japanese occupa- tion of the region from which they had dislodged the Russians and which they now control, I have considerable knowl edge of the state of affairs there under the varying circumstances, That the Russian occupation to a considerable extent usurped Chinese authority in the administration of the country, to the detriment of other interests there. will, in the present state of feeling in the United States, be accepted without proof. My observation convinces me that during the comparatively short time the Japanese have occupied the southern half of the country they have gone farther in destroying Chinese au- tonomy than ever the Russians did. am amply supplied with the details to support this statement, but the charac- ter of this article forbids their intro auction here.
