NOT TO BE SINGLED OUT.
Army officers and Men at San Fran
cisco Who Worked Well.

Army officers and privates who played
such an important part in fighting the fire
and relieving the starving and suffering in
San Francisco will not be singled out for
special praise by the War Department. 1t
is contrary to the policy of the army to
mark few men for individual commenda-
ton unless their service be such that 1t de-
mands instant recognition.
Gen. Greedy and Gen. Funston and their
associates were so busily engaged at the
time of the California disaster that they had
no time to pay attention to reports of heroic
deeds by soldiers and to make recommended
tions. However, If any Incidents of a start
ling nature should have occurred they would
doubtless have heard of them. The work Of
the army was so excellent that 1T COM
manded the praise of the entire country.
Both officers and men perform ed creditably
the work which fell within their line OF
duty. and the general praise of the troops
and officers is believed by the War Depart
mi nt to be preferable to an attempt at indi-
vidual commentator. which might do an
injustice to many deserving officers and
men whose heroism was not brought to the
attention OF the department

VOTE FOR ASSESSMENT.
Ten Per Cent Of Earnings to Be Paid
in Aid Of Printers Strike.

A largely attended meeting OF Columbia
Typographical Union. No. 1o1, was held
yesterday afternoon to vote upon the ques-
ton OF putting 10 per cent assessment
upon the earnings of the members for the
warfare against the employing printers
who have refused to grant the eight-hour
day in this city.
Heretofore the contest has been financed
by reserve fund created for that purpose
but because of the obdurate position Of
nine employing printers, and because the
dismissal of men from the government
printing Office had augmented the strike
roll to such proportions that the fund had

sary to have more money to take care Of
the men who left their situations and to
assist members out Of work.
President John r. Berg presided, and af-
ter announcing the purpose of the meeting
he requested that there should be no TECH
meal points raised, and that the question of
putting on 10 per cent assessment should
be discussed in fair and impartial man
were a number of speeches made for and
against the proposition.
The argument 70 put a mortgage upon
Typographical Temple, which is owned by
Columbia Union. was discussed in every
phase, and the straightout l0-per-centers
replied with equally forceful arguments
The debate lasted two hours, and perhaps
every point In the matter was gone over
again and again.
The motion to place 10 per cent assess
ment was carried by large majority. At
ter the vote was taken many of those who
voted in the negative were willing to make
1t unanimous.

Hibbard's. for he had proposed at
Chamounix while the highest peaks Of
the Alps looked down on them. The
young lady had not refused him; she
had simply declined to give an answer
until after their arrival in America.
Whether this WAS because she Ind not

or wished to make Inquiries about him
or doubted the constancy Of his feel

he remained In ignorance Of her rea-

she declined to give him any satisfac-

salary, concluded that the lady feared
he might not be able to give her a liv-

But this was a surmise. He reached
home month before his college duties

evening and In the morning was usher
