uEuTENANTs FROM THE RANKS
Thirty Soldiers Who Have Provision
ally Passed Will Not Go to
Fort Leavenworth.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The 80
soldiers who have been Professionally
examined for appointment as second
lieutenants in the army and who have
been pronounced qualified, will not be
ordered to Fort Leavenworth for the
usual preliminary instruction and OBJ
servation. They will remain at their
respective posts until about September
1, when they will be ordered up for the
final examination. This decision to
have no preliminary term of instruc-
ton has it's disadvantages. 1t must
necessarily be a handicap to those who
are conducting their own studies, and
to that extent it shows the present in
difference to giving particular aid to
the enlisted men who are after army
commissions. Then, too, this prelim-
mary period of instruction enabled the
army officers under whom the soldier
candidates were serving for two
months to observe the young men care
fully and report upon their special
qualifications.

SENSATION FOR MANHATTAN.
Snake Matches in Parlors Of Million
aires Is the Latest Fad.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Several Mon
tana millionaires created a diversion
for themselves the other night by a
battle royal between snakes. 1t was
chock full of excitement. Tens of
thousands Of dollars changed hands on
the result ..-.'-' '"t
It was. wagered that a RATHER would
fall before king. But two kings and
a RATHER refused to fight, and then all
three in turn were caught in the coils
of a giant India pine snake and crush
ed to death. The pine gathered up a
blacksnake that at the start had spun
around like a live wire and despatched
it with skill that was most impress
sive.
The battle took place in the parlor Of
the bachelor apartment of Henry Lee
Meader, architect and artist, on East
Twenty sixth street. There were many
incidents that were as engaging in
every particular as the doings in the
ring. Before the call to battle one Of
the contestants obtained possession of
a bedroom. He was captured when
coiled in a bed with a toasting fork
tied on the handle of a broom.
Indeed, that toasting fork was the
handiest instrument employed. With
it the rattler was speared deity after
he had escaped from the ring and had
caused 80 spectators to flee. The chier
mover in arranging the fight was A. L.
Stapleton, a copper mine owner of
Wyoming.

ANALYSIS MADE OF IAFT's MOVE
His Projected Trip to Philippines Is
Not Part Of the Presidential
Game.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10
Secretary Taft will go to the Philip
pines next spring to be present at the
ceremonies incident to the converting
of the native assembly.
The disclosure of his plan has caused
CONSERVATION to Fairbanks, Shaw,
Cannon and other aspirants for the
presidency. They assume it to be
declaration that the secretary of war
has given up any idea of going on the
supreme bench and has resolved to
stay in politics with the ultimate in
tention of being a candidate in 1908.
1t is a well-known fact that Mr..
Roosevelt desires that Taft should
succeed him in the White House.
But there is reason to believe that
Mr.. Taft at present has no presidential
plans. 1t is known Mr.. Roosevelt has
rigidly refrained from attempting to
induce Mr.. Taft to move one way or
the other. The president so recently
as the week OF the adjournment Of
Congress told SONS OF his intimates
that he was glad the problem was Mr.
Taft's and not his own.
To all intents and purposes, the Sec
rotary of war has reached a decision
at least a tentative one, from which
he will not be easily shaken. That
decision is to accept the tender of a
place on the supreme bench. Then
how account for his determination to
go out to the Philippines next spring?
Mr.. Taft is in all probability the most
unselfish man in public life. He is
perfectly willing to sacrifice himself
for his work. The matter Of public i'm
| portance that lies nearest his heart is
the happiness and welfare Of the ma
! tives of the Philippines and the future
prosperity Of the islands. The people
| of the islands believe in him and have
| for him a sincere affection and regard.
| tariff measure was not to become law
there were a number of conferences
| between Mr.. Taft and the president.
The whole matter was gone over care
| fully. 1t was agreed that Mr. Taft
| should have his way and continue his
| fight next winter for the Philippines
and that the justiceship should go
, over for the present. 49, +
The known facts are that Mr.. Taft is
| going to the Philippines because he
! is interested in the future of the peo-
/! pie and that he has not yet given his
consent to become a candidate for the
presidency, and his decision not to go
on the bench this fall has no political
significance. s~-'-

PAUL JONES-FACT AND FICTION.

The recovery of the body of Paul
Jones in Paris by Gen. Horace Porter
and the ceremonies at Annapolis at
tending its transfer helped to make the
life of the naval hero, by Augustus c.
Buell. one of the most widely read of
recent historical works. On its pub
LEGATION in 1900 the critics accepted it
as a final life of Jones, and the reader
has found it as entertaining as a ro-

The charges are dispassionately con-

THE CLOCK OF CIVILIZATION.

They are making clocks in the east
now which, through an ingenious adap-
tation of the photograph idea, speak
the hour instead of striking it. Take
the case of the young man making
late call. He has through heredity and
personal practice been schooled to dis
regard the familiar ding-dong of the
old fashioned clock. But when he hears
Midnight" sounded forth in a grave
and heavy voice he is apt to sit up and
take police. Or suppose he musters
the nerve to withstand this shock, the
voice of mamma at / a. M, inquiring
whether Manda has put out the crock
for the milk, will surely finish him.
AS an addition to the alarm clock
this mechanism will become invalua-
BILE. 1t is we'll known that travelling
men sometimes miss their trains
through the alleged failure of the bell
boy to call them. At least, this is the
report they make to the house. But
the superintendent of orators now has
the edge on any such plea. All he has
to do is to supply each travelling man
with new clock which will announce

Train time. Get up and break for the

What d boon. tee, It will be to the
farmer who now finds it necessary to
get up and shake the hired man out of

remarks in his own weli-knewn voice
on the value of early rising. The hired
man will throw himself against the
door in his hurry to get out, while the
farmer will snore on until the late hour
of $50.
There are many uses in the world for
such a clock. 1t is more to be desired
than the grandfather kind, which will
not accommodate themselves to the
shelves provided for them, or the hick-
DRY dickory kind which have from time
immemorial served merely as running
tracks for mice. What we should like
to know is, how much such clocks have

Who never to himself has said:

If such there be, go mark him we'll;
For him no bank account shall swell,
No angels watch the golden stair

Cares more for rest than worldly gain,
And patronage but gives him pain.

Disturb his solitude profound.
Here let him live in calm repose,
Unsought, except by men he owes,
And when he dies, go plant him deep,
That naught may break his dreamless

Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so we'll;
And when the world may know its
loss,
Place on his grave a wreath of moss,
And on a stone above, Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise"

RAIN OF TRAGEDIES.
Chicago Man Owns to Committing
Crime Which Led to Tragedies.

CHICAGO. July 19.-James Hanratty
pleaded guilty before Judge Ben M.
Smith to a crime Of which an innocent
man was accused a year ago, and
which resulted in a murder, an at
tempt to kill, and the suicide OF the
wrongfully accused man.
The tragedy occurred on the after
noon of August 10 last, when PATROL
man Oscar Benson of the Des PLANES
street station walked into the jewelry
repair shop Of Matthias Manner, brother
of Chris Manner, and shot Manner, kill
ing him instantly. He then rushed to
the rear Of the shop and fired at Mich
olas Littin, a protege of Manner, after
which he turned the revolver upon
himself with fatal effect.
A few days previously Policeman
Benson had been accused by Manner
with the theft of three watches from
the window of the jeyelry shop. Ben
son protested his innocence to his SUI
perior officers and they believed him,
but Manner insisted that the officer
had been seen in the act of stealing
the watches, and in this claim he was
backed by Littin. Inspector Wheeler
did his best to convince Manner that
he was mistaken, but the latter de-
manded that Benson be taken before
the trial board, and this was about to
&c done when Benson killed himself
and his accuser.
Hanratty said he knew Benson was
accused of the crime, but he lacked the
courage to give himself up to save the
officers reputation. After the TRACE
dy, he was still more afraid of reveal
ing the truth and clearing the name OF

Buelrs sources must have convicted
him.
1t is an extraordinary story of au-

not alive to offer his explanation. Paul
Jones' reputation will not suffer, though
some of the pretty little legends about
him are exploded, but Buell. as a stu
dent and an author must be sadly
damaged as to honesty and common
veracity.

NEW ZEALAND'S WAY.

Sir Joseph G. Ward, who has sue
ceeded the late Mr.. Seldom as premier
of New Zealand, declares that in New
Zealand the public officials first learn
what the people want and then give it
to them that way. The system seems
to work we'll in a small country where
the wants of the people are compare
lively few. and where the population is
so small that its wants may be ascer-
tanned. 1t would probably not be SO
easy in America, where we have a
great many lively people who want a
great many things and want them all
at once. But still our public officials
might try the New Zealand plan in
stead of proceeding on the theory that
they should ascertain the bent of the
people and then try to educate them
out of it. This is the conception of
craftsmanship of the Cannons. Fora
kers and Depews of the land They
recognize the voice of the people as the
voice of God, provided it is o. KID by
their own conception of what is good
