The revival flame is burning not only

tho days Of the revival Of 1857, when
100000 converts were mn1c in Ameri-

The next speaker was woman,

the lady next her arose and said tina t

half a dozen women were on their feet
with similar declaration.

WILL TRY OFFICERS
COurt-martial Ordered in the
Brownsville Affair.
NEGLECT OF DUTY CHARGED
President Directs that Maj. Penrose
and Capt. MacIxIin, of the Twenty
nfth Infantry, BE Subjected to IN
Guiry Were ExOnerated from
Blame in the Reports.

President Roosevelt has directed that
MAJ. Charles W. Penrose and Capt. E.
A. MaekIin, both of the Twenty fifth IN
fa.gtry, be tried by court-martial for neg
lect of duty in connection with the raid
by members Of the three companies Of the
Twenty-ffth stationed at Brownsville.
Tex. last August. These two officers
were in command Of the negro soldiers,
who have since been dismissed without
honor from the army because of the com
plicity Of some of the members Of the
battalion in the attack upon Browns
Vile
There has been a great deal of comment
concerning the degree of responsibility
falling upon the officers in command Of
the troops, and II is now 10 be determined
whether they were TO blame at all. The
reports of the officers who investigated
5he affair practically exonerated the COM
missioned officers Of all blame in the
matter. Il is held. however, that they
should have been better informed or the
sentiment against the soldiers which was
50 prevalent in Brownsville, and 10 have
taken some action which might have pre-
vented the disastrous result.
Another feature which will be brought
out by the trial is how the ten or twenty
soldiers who left the government reser-
walton could have got away with their
arms without being discovered by those
in command.
The matter of re-enlistment by the dis
charged members has not been taken up
by the War Department Many appiica-
tions have been made by those who were
dismissed for re-enlistment These have
simply been placed on file. No individ-
ual cases will be taken up until all the
records have been sent from the War
Department TO the Senate, in response 10
the resolutions Of last week calling for
information. These records have been
compiled and are now being printed.
When they have been presented 10 the
Senate the Department viii consider any
evidence which may be placed before 1t
by any of the dismissed soldiers who de-
sire 10 re-enter the army. The cases will
be taken up individually. Evidence viii
be required from the soldiers TO prove
that they were not implicated in the
trouble. Their unsupported athdavits will
not be considered sufficient

CAB HORSES LOCATE FARES.
FIND Way to Passengers without
Guidance from Driver.

Unidance from Driver.
Washingtons cab horses are edu-
Gated. For hours and hours at time.
day and night, the "cabbies" with their
cabs stand at certain points about the
city and wait for the appearance Of a
fare. These cab stands are in the prin-
cipal streets, at the busiest corners, and
IN the vicinity of the leading hotels.
When a man wants a cab he usually
steps 10 the curb, or has a "hunky'
do It for him. and whistles to the
eagle-eyed "cabbieT across the way If
there are many cabs on the stand there
is a great rush for the prospective
customer. The one with the best bar
gain gets the fare.
But the educated horses understand
their business as well as the drivers.
AS soon as a whistle is heard the ami
mails are off in bunch. driver or no
driver and make a bee line for the
vicinity from whence came the call The
driver isn't compelled TO do anything.
After a while it is predicted we viii
have the driverless cab, with the edu-
Gated horse and the nickel -in-the-slo
machines TO receive the fare.
