Caste and the Army.

At Fort Sheridan, near Chicago. six
non-commissioned officers have been
reduced to the ranks for running what
is technically known as "a bind pig"
or unlawful canteen. When the men
grumbled that they were doing no
more than the commissioned officers
did, Colonel Whitehall, it seems, dis
closed with some emphasis that what
was meet for officers in the post club
house was not necessarily proper for
privateS in quarters. The papers say
that he said: ITO put the private on
the same footing as the commissioned
officer would be ruinous to discipline.
We must have caste in the army just
as there is caste in outside society,
We have the same class distinctions:
and without them we could have no
discipline"
Colonel Whitehalrs sentiments are
sound enough, but if he vas quoted ac-
curately, lie was not fortunate in his
method of expressing them. Military
law gives officers privileges which pri-
Yates do not share. 1t creates an ar
titicial caste for military purposes,
though whether it formally gives Off
GERS larger liquor privileges than it
gives to privates is arguable. But in
outside society American law recog-
nizes no caste and no class distinctions.

A Jury of Women.

For the first time ir the history or
Shoshone County a jury composed en-
tirely of women heard the evidence IN
a case, says i Wardner idaho dis
patch to the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Mrs. Fannie Vancuren was charged
by her neighbor, Mrs. Sarah Flint, with
striking her with her fist. Both wom-
en- told the court that they preferred
to have a jury composed of members
Of their own sex.
The array of women subpoenaed as
jurors was young and good looking.
Mrs. Flint, after many Interruptions
and objections, related the following
story of the difficulty:
"Last Sunday afternoon I heard a
noise, and looking out from my house
L saw Mrs. yancuren tearing down a
rock pile I had built. I went out and
ordered her t. stop. She answered by
striking me in the stomach with her
closed fist"
The jury was locked up in the
Judges office for fifteen Of twenty min
utes, and then brought in a verdict &C.
quitting Mrs. Vancuren.

Candidate For the Ear,

A man from Texas adventured into
Arkansas on a business errand. The
town was strange to him, says a wri-
ter in the Washington Post, and he was
unacquainted with the man, a lawyer,
whom he had come 20 see. There was
no carriage at the station when he ar
rived, so he asked his way to the house
of Mr.. Dash, and set out to walk.
The directions he received were so
indefinite that he found himself at last
on the edge of the town, without hay
ing come to the house he sought. Then
he met an old man, and asked the way
again. Mr.. Dash's house, he learned,
lay about q quarter of a mile down the
road.

he said. SIS this Mr.. Dash down the
