THE PRIVATE WON.
Rebuked His Superior Officer and Es-
capped Court Martial.


Charles Bradlaugh when in the Brit
ish army was orderly room clerk, and o
newly arrived officer once entered the
room where he was sitting at work
and addressed to him some discourte'
Gus order. Private Bradlaugh took nc
notice. The order was repeated with
an oath. Still no movement. Then II
came again. with some foul words add
ed. The young soldier rose, drew him
self to his full height and, walking up
TO the officer, bade him leave the room
or he would throw him out He Went
accordingly, but in few moments the
grounding OF muskets was heard out
side, the door opened and the colonel
walked in accompanied by the officer.
1t was clear that the private soldier
had committed an act for which he
might be court martialed, and as he
said once, Il felt myself in tight
place. The officer made his accusa,
ton, and Private Bradlaugh was bid
den to explain. He asked that the of
ficer should state the exact words IN
which he had addressed him, and the
other, who had. after all, touch OF
honor in him, gave the offensive sen,
tence word for word. Then Private
Bradlaugh said, addressing the colo
mel, that the officers memory must
surely be Mt fault in the whole matter
as he could not have used language SO
unbccoming to an officer and gen.
tleman. The colonel turned to the of.
ficer with the dry remark: Il think
Private Bradlaugh is right. There
must he some mistake" And he left
the room.

STILL TROUBLED IN SPIRIT.

The editor of the Gunnison
News has read the notice that the
government was Withdrawing coal
lands from entry and at once
jumps to the conclusion that his
county is to be a victim OF govern
mental discrimination. He over
looks the fact that little coal land
still remains in the hands OF the
people, most of it has already
gone into the hands OF the cor
porations. We are heartily glad
that the President has shut OFT
the coal barons. We wish it had
been done before. We print Mr..
Lakes complaint so that the
people may compare the two
ideas:
Another immense slice of our
county has been withdrawn from
coal land entry. The area in
cludes the whole northwest, from
above Mill creek on Ohio Geek
and just above Almont on East
river and Spring creek also a
section of fossil ridge, and part of
the Blue mesa. This last order
was received at the land Office
here on October 14th. 1t does
not prevent homestead entries,
but as most of the land was in
forest reserves anyway, differs
but little from the original order
which withdrew from both mineral

A RECEPTION to Judge Gabbert
is to be held at the Brown Palace,
according to the dailies. w. G.
Evans should be toastmaster and
Guggy should continue to pay the
bills. He may have to appeal to
the Judge for a Judicial order
compelling the caucus to recog-
nize the contract by which the
Judge is Judge and Guggy is
senator in embryo. A slop pail full
of remnants from the feast should
be sent to the Republican Office as
a recognition of their valuable ser
vices during the late trouble. The
$1,000 per month they have al
ways expected, but the free lunch
would come in the way of an un-
expected gratuity, and without
doubt would serve to cement the
present friendly relations existing
between buyer and seller. These
are just suggestions that occur to
US as germane to the occasion
and which, if carried out, would
serve to round out the affair and
promote harmony as we'll as be
consistent with those other acts so
fresh in the minds of the people.
We doubt not that some of the
girls who took the automobile
trip with Billy Green celebrating
the Reverend BuchtePs election
might be induced to add to the
festivities of the occasion with a
dance "de venture" This would
undoubtedly meet with the ap-
proval of at least one of the Chief
Justices colleagues who secured
his seat by appointment at the
hands of Peabody after having
been defeated in a democratic
convention for a nomination to
the place he had disgraced. In
fact we might add several other
features to render the orgie har-
monious, but as we feel sure tina,
there will be no thanks rendered
for our valuable suggestions we
shall cut them out.

PIPE LINE TO THE GULF.
The Texas Company to Build a Lin From
Tulsa, Indian TerrIt Ory.

BEAUMONT, Tex, Nov. 25.-Some i'm
portant news leaked out here tonight con-
corning pipe line enterprises. The Texas
company, of which j. S. Cullinane is presi-
dent, and which has by many been classed
as a Standard Oil asset, has increased it's
capital stock from $4,000, 900 to sI2, OOO, 600.
President Cullinane, who has been in New
York, left that city several days ago, and
is expected to reach Beaumont tomorrow
or Tuesday.
It is learned that in placing the extra
capitalization Of $4,000. 900 before New
York financiers the amount desired was
ovcrsubscribed several times. II is also
learned that 100000 of this extra capital
iyation has been set aside AZ a fund for the
building of a pipe line for the Texas COM
pany from Tulsa, !. T., TO Houston.
Tex, where it is to connect with the Texas
company's piping facilities to Beaumont
and Port Arthur.
Construction work on this pipe line Ia
to begin about January I, 1907. and the line
will be finished as rapidly as men and money
car do 10. Dallas is being favorably con-
sidered IA a distributing station for north
Texas. but is not yet definitely selected.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN.

LONDON, Nov. @.--The growth Of musical
comedy in London has driven the managers
to their wits ends to find chorus girls who
combine attractive appearance with good
voices. The demand greatly exceeds the
supply.
All agree that real soprano and contralto
voices arc very rare, and rarer still in COM
bination with youthful, pretty faces. It
is also an inexplicable fact that contral-
tos, when found, usually have homelier
faces than sopranos.
Applicants at theatres where voice trials
are announced can be counted by hundreds,
but not more than 5 per cent. have any
singing voice. while .smartness in dress
and bearing are rarer even than good looks.
Managers find il painful to ook at the
throngs and more painful to hear them.
Some are confident, some Indifferent,
while others are weary, nervous or pain
fully expectant. A majority of them are
stagestruck shopgirls, but many are do

THE GUGGENHEIM PEARLS.
Necklace, Says Uncle Sam-NOt Imported
So, Say Tiffany a. Co.

Morris Guggenheim of the American
Smelling and Refining Company picked
out fifty mine pearls in Tiffany d Co.'S
Paris store from a large quantity of loose
pearls which had been pierced for string
ing. This was several years ago. He
matched the pearls according to lustre
and size, laying them in a catenary curve ,
with the biggest at the bottom, until he
was satisfied with the selection. The clerk
gave him a memorandum with the weight
of the individual pearls, agreeing to deliver
the collection in New York. The invoice
value was SIC, 244, but pearls have gone
up since and the string il worth $4,000 now
Divided into four lots, each lot wrapped
in tissue paper. the pearls were shipped
to this city and paid duty at 10 per cent
as loose pearls. Then they were strung
in the New York house Of Tiffany 4 Co.
and delivered as a necklace to Mr.. Guggen-
helm.
Several months later the collector de-
manded of the importers $S,l22 in add
tional duties, asserting that the articles
were really pearls strung, or a necklace,
on which a duty OF 80 per cent. is exacted
under the jewelry clause OF the tariff law.
The importers refused to pay and suit was
begun by the Government. In the suit
briefs were submitted last week to the
United States Circuit CoUrt of Appeals.
J. Osgood Nichols. the Assistant United
States Attorney, argued that the pearls
in fact constituted a necklace and we're
therefore pearls strung. The mere fact
that the pearls were not actually placed
on a string. he claimed, is inmate rial, the
important factors being that they we're
selected and pierced for a necklace and
have been worn as one since they were
released from the Custom House.
For the jewellers d. Macon Webster said
that the customs authorities are bound 10
classify the imports in the condition in
which they are shipped.
This issue is like that in the case OF the
s22O,O 900 pearls imported by Bernard Citroen,
a Paris jeweller, for William b. Leeds. That
was the foreign market value according to
the invoice and the Government. which
received a 10 per cent. duty, is sting for
$4,000 more. This string is said by je well
lers to be worth $3.50 900 in New York.
The Citroen case will probably be put
on the December calendar of the United
States District Court. The Gover nment
claims to nave obtained evidence lately
that the pearls were actually worn as a
necklace in Paris before their importation
and in New York since their arrival here.
II the Government wins pearls, which
have for several years been going up in
value, will take a new jump, importers say
because the authorities will exert them
selves TO fasten the 80 per cent. duty on as
many importatiOns as possible.

LAND FOR RUSSIAN PEASANTS
GEAR BY A UKASE ANTICIPATES
ACTION OF DUMA.
Great Decree Enables People Ia Escape the
Abuses OF Communal system and Own
Land VIII Seriously An ect Elections
"A Liberal Leaders Bitter Protest.

III ScrtDUbly An cct EIccuVhv
A Liberal Leaders Bitter Protest.
speetal Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 25.-A ukase
issued by the Gar 10 the peasants was
published to-day. 1t constitutes the entire
essence of the Governments programme,
which aims at the separation OF the peasant
question from all other branches OF politi-
cal agitation.
The Government by issuing the ukase
now seeks to demonstrate that the EN-
peror is willing TO remedy the peasants
grievances without regard TO the Duma.
Recognition of this fact has already evoked
the angry protest from K~ovalovsky. the
Liberal leader, against the assumption
that the national problem. namely land
tenure, should be dealt with executively
by the Government without the cooperation
Of the Duma.
The substance Of the ukase isI tina a
peasant may abandon his share in the
communal ownership of village and and
become an individual freebooter. The
peasants have always complained OF thu
oppressive illegalities introduced with the
establishment Of upon the lib
Grafton of the serfs in 1891, which AVE in
creased greatly during the present reign.
Communal ownership was described 10
them when it was first introduced az a
temporary expedient for securing the re-
demption payments for and grants to the
newly liberated serfs, but practically it
came to mean that the industrious peasants
paid their share, while the thriftless paid
nothing. When tine payments
fell into arrears the entire commune was
assessed, which meant that the industrious
paid twice and the thriftless again paid
nothing.
The inquiry Of he system was further
increased by the opportunities it gave
provincial officials to declare that part of
the communal land was fer sale to satisfy
unpaid assessments, a scheme that was
worked by wilfully confused bookkeeping
These officials could always resort TO this
e%xpedient when they wanted to exact money
from the peasants who possessed any.
Unfortunately the Interpretation of
to-day's ukase, which comprises eighteen
lengthy technical clauses, remains largely
in the hands of the local officials. IL is a
great decree, however. freeing the peasant
from the wretched thraldom of the present
communal system and Offering the posi-
bility of peasant proprietorship.
IL is perfectly clear that it's effect in the
coming elections will probably be the return
of a large number of non-party peasants
TO the next Duma. Their class has never
joined heartily in the radical parliamentary
bloc, and they will doubtless prefer TO
scrutinize from ar independent position
the benefits promised by to-day's ukase.

Special Cdhe Despatch 70 THE SUN.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Civil Service
Gazette protests against the prevale nee
of high collar worship in the Government
departments. 1t says that some Of the
highest officials always extend the heartiest
welcome to men who devote themselves
entirely to their collars because their smart
ness gives tone to the Office. They are
not greatly concerned if the wearers are
small workers. because more Office work
can safely be left to the lard working
t~oneless men, who care little about the
depth Of their collars.
Men OF the favored type, says the Gazette,
are always exactly alike. Their collars
and cuffs shine with the same brilliancy
and their eyes have the same vacant look.
The Gazette mercifully does not reproduce
the smile OF a donkey looking over a white
washed wall.
