HOW SOME LEAKS" GROW
Information Concerning Official Bust.
ness Gets to the Newspaper
Reporters.

Some years ago Gen. Grosvenor was
member of the committee on rivers
and harbors of the house, and this
story is told of how he accommodated
a newspaper friend In those days
there was stronger pressure than at
present among the correspondents to
get the advance items In the river and
harbor bill, so that every man who
had a friend on the committee was eX-
pected to LAY down" on him and get
the different items. The year of which
this story Is told the committee as
usual tied itself up and agreed that 1t
would not make any features public
until the bill was reported to the
house. But as usual some members
leaked. A man from the far west
procured the Pacific coast items ana
one or two other large items enough
to make 1t appear that the bill was
getting out These items were TUNED

general did not want to give up" but
the newspaper man was persistent.
man of the committee had taken
care of his friends, and that 1t was
not right for the general to allow his
friends to get left. The outcome was
that the young man got his items in
the bill and enough to help out all his
friends who were in the plot.
The next morning there was a
stormy meeting in the committee on
rivers and harbors. Gen. Grosvenor
opened the ball with a denunciation of
those who made such pretense of
secrecy and yet gave out everything
pertaining to their sections. He said
that the main features of the bill. as
well as whole sections, lad been made
public, and he knew they were accu-

a few who had been guilty of tipping
off" a few items to friends regretted
that they were not as faithful and vir-
tuous as the Ohio representative. They
resolved TO follow in his footsteps in
the future, and many of them did so.
Whenever there is trouble over

now tries to get his indignant protest

his colleagues, for he was a good

Several midshipmen from the Naval
academy at Annapolis were in Wash

a table, in the palm room of the Will
lard hotel, discussing celebrities. They
did not think much of Gen. Miles,
spoke slightingly of the marine corps.
and boosted of their intimate ac-
quaintance with Admiral Dewey. and
other naval officers OF high rank. Their
voices could be heard even in the re-
mote recesses OF the room. For a
short time the midsnipmen higuly en-
tertained the other patrons, for whose
benefit the conversation was carried
on. Then the hearers became bored.
Finally man, sitting at a table next

men, summoned waiter, and when
he was several feet away called out:

WOMEN NURSES IN NAVY.
Their Employment in the Medical
Service Strongly Recon-
mended by Heads.

THE surgeon general of the navy
has made strong plea for the employ
ment of women nurses in the naval
medical service" says the Washington
Evening Star. THAT women nurses
are by natural endowment and apti
tude," says he, superior to male
nurses for much of the duty required
in the care Of sick and injured men is
generally admitted. Every war of mod
ern times has demonstrated this fact
The medical department of the army
is now provided with corps of trained
women nurses, and their adaptability
to service conditions and efficiency in
institutions under military control
have been fully established Their
services would be more useful in the
naval hospitals, insuring for the sick
of the navy as careful nursing as is
now given to the sick of the army.
valuable assistance, moreover, in
teaching and training the men of the
hospital corps their special duties of
attendance on the sick would be rem
dered by them, and, in the event OF
war, besides being utilized on hospital
ships, they could, in large part. take
the place of the men in the naval hos.
pitfalls, thereby releasing the latter fol
service with the force afloat where they
would be needed In the opinion of
the bureau, provision should be made
for one superintendent of nurses to
supervise the discipline of the corps
and as many chief nurses, nurses and
reserve nurses as may be needed. in
the discretion of the secretary of the
navy. In time of peace the number
of such trained women nurses would
be small, but the organization should
be such as to admit of ready expan.
sion to meet extraordinary needs with,
out delay or confusion. The recon-
mendation of the bureau that congress
be asked to authorize the appointment
of trained women nurses has hereto
fore met with the approval of the de.
partment, but necessary legislation has
so far failed of enactment. The bureau
has renewed its recommendation that
legislation authorizing the employ.
ment Of trained women nurses for the
navy be requested of congress-"

A YOUNG MILLIoNAIRE's RIGHT ARM.

Young Jay Gould's tennis triumphs in Eng
land have occasioned a good deal of comment.
His success in the preliminary matches was ex-
pected to represent all he could look for. No one
expected multi illionaire's son to really make
good" in open competition of this kind. Then
young Jay won the semi-fnals and at last the de-
cisive games. His friends not surprised.
They have marked him as an unusual young man,
not merely in tennis but in everything that he
undertakes.
AT his Lakewood palace he has been busy
and an attractive figure He is a good fellow"
and a hard worker He seems to illustrate the
tradition that in every famous family there is
