er to say that he did not know of any
statutory authority under which an en-
listed man buys his discharge from the
army Senator Hale also declared that
there was not, so far as he knew, any
rule in the army or navy by which a
man can buy his discharge. Senator
Warren came TO the enlightenment OF
his colleagues and must have aston
.ished them by showing that the dis
charge by purchase system was estab-
lished in the army by the act of June
l6, 1890. By that act the president is
authorized to prescribe rules and con
ditlons under which a soldier can pur-
chase his discharge. The present tar
in ranges from $3.50 for discharge after
one years service down to $50 after
eleven years. The system has been in
operation fifteen years, is applicable
only In the time of peace and appears
TO have worked we'll"
This was not the first time that Sen
lator Warren surprised some Of the le-
gal lights of the senate by his famili-
arity with points of law. In the Fifty
eighth congress in the consideration of
a claim bill, the probable action OF the
senate hinged upon a phrase in a de
%cision OF the United States supreme
court in n legal proceeding had many
years before on the claim covered by
the bill. Senator Warren cited this
phrase and Immediately senator Plat
of Connecticut, then chairman of the
judiciary committee, Senator Spooner
and Senator Lodge, contended that the
decision did not contain the phrase.
They quoted Waliace's reports of the
supreme court decisions which did not
contain the phrase and with some glee
referred to the "layman" who sought
to teach them law. Senator Warren
sent for the files of the supreme court
and in the decision cited, the phrase
was found exactly as he had quoted it.
The opposing senatorial lawyers
learned for the first time that the Of
fetal reporter of the supreme court
sometimes edits the decisions of the
court by emitting portions not dealing
directly with issues in the ase
Senator Lodge was so astonished
that he said IN the floor of the senate:
IF the correct report of the opinions
Of the supreme court is published in
the court of claims reports and not by
the official reporter of the supreme
court, 1t is n very serious matter in
deed, because it invalidates all the re-
ports of the supreme court"
After the debate Senator Platt
thanked Senator Warren for teaching
him a law point which had escaped
him in his long legal practice and
study.
In addition to this Senator Warren
was able to show Senator Plat and
Others the next day an edition of the
Wallace reports made for the Lawyers
Co-operative association containing
the decision in full as he had quoted it
In the senate, to the great astonish-
ment of the senators who had disputed
him.

WARREN AN AUTHORITY ON LAW.

The Boston Transcript ~editorially in
its issue of June s, refers tt a recent
tilt between Senator Warren on the
n side and Senators Spooner and
Hale on the other, in reference to the
law regarding discharges from the
army, in which the Wyoming senator,
who is not a lawyer, gave his oppon-
ents, two of the leading lawyers of the
senate, some information which aston
ished them. The Transcript says:
Once in a while even the lawyers
Of the senate are reminded that they
do not know all the laws that are to
be found in the statute books. The
other day when the naval a~ppropria-
ton bill was before the senate the mat.
ter of securing discharge of enlisted
men of the navy came up. One sena.
tor said that while the enlisted men of
the army could purchase their dis.
charge, those of the navy did not enjoy
the privilege. This led Senator Spoon

WOMEN LIKE THE FEATHERS.
Domestication Of the Ostrich in South
Africa for Its Plumaue.

N'ffN1 - -
The domestication of the ostrich in
South Africa for the sake of its plu-
mage took place less than thirty years
ago. To-day the capital invested runs
into millions.
Ostriches are curious birds. The
male bird sits on the eggs during the
night g p. m. to 9 a. M. the hen
takes up sentry duty during the day
and the curious thing is that the pair
are punctual to a minute. Eggs left
unprotected for a single night will be
useless next morning. The incuba-
ton lasts from forty two to forty-ive
days. When eight days old the chicks
are removed from the parent birds
and put in a small Enclosure with an
old woman or boy in charge to tame
them; unless this is done they will,
when grown up, retain a great deal
of their wild nature.
When the feathers are required a
cap is placed over the head of the
bird, which is then put into a box. The
feathers are not cut unless properly
matured; that is to say, when the
blood vein running in the quill has
sufficiently dried up so as to ever
bleeding. The long wing feathers are
cut about one inch from the flesh.
The short ones are drawn.

Value of Study of Greek.

President Hadley Of Yale has lately

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only M way 10 cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inlamed con,
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed. deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur.

A Thrilling Story
Of West Virginia

CHARLESTON, Oct. i1.-Following

meetlng of the State board OF trade by
Senator stephen B. Elkins:
MIR. President: am glad to be
associated with this body Of repre-.
sentative men of our State. Ike
the atmosphere of business associa.
tion. II is good to be here. 1 con.
! graduate you on the fact that Sen
ator Davis, member of this body,
had the courage and the confidence
in the outcome to build the Coal
and Coke railroad to Charleston, so
as to make 1t easy and convenient
for the people Of the interior of the
State to get here. The time was
not so long ago, that to reach the
southern part Of the State from our
section. one had to go by Washing.
.on and through Ohio All that is
changed now. Before the building of
the Coal & Coke railroad, there was
no ready and direct connection be.
tween the northern and southern
parts Of the State. These two sec.
tions were almost foreign to each
other and the people had but little
intercourse of any kind commercial
or otherwise. Now they are welded
together by bars Of steel.
In the midst of a political cam
paign, 1t is a pleasure to turn aside
and take part in a movement for
the good of the State, where all diff.
ferences are hushed into silence,
and all is harmony. To do good for
the people, to educate and lift them
up, to help the business interests Of
the State! to maintain its honor and
integrity, should be the aim of every
good citizen. am rejoiced to meet
here so many of the leading bust
ness men from all parts Of the State.

+ !. ] WAS
AN UNSUCCESS-
FyL.lG'OMIPETITOR

The session Of the Grand Lodge last
night was very brief and was only
convened for the purpose of receiving
The reports of the various committees
sS,, Much speculation was engaged in
last night as to whether Wheeling OF
Huntington would get the next Grand
Lodge meeting. Neither city had much
advantage over the other in this fight
sas they are both located at extreme
borders Of the State and neither can
claim the advantage Of the more cen
2 tral geographical location as is usually
made an issue in such fights. Wheel
\ ing being the largest city and in the
most populous section Of the State
I would probably be closer to the larg-
est number Of the membership, but
Huntington was found a strong COM
petitor and showed many arguments
to Offset the good points that Wheeling
raised.
Many thought from the fact that
Chas. j. Schuck, the youthful but bril-
liant Grand Vice Chancellor, who is
a citizen Of Wheeling and who by
the tenure Of his Office will be
the next Grand Chancellor Of the
State, might cause the Grand Lodge
70 60 to Wheeling as expediency would
be best served by having the Grand
Lodge where the Grand Chancellor
could better look after the. details of
the meeting, but at the meeting today
4 the question came to vote as to the
place to hold the next meeting and
Huntington won in a walk and had
many votes to spare.
Huntington will make an ideal town
for the Grand Lodge meeting, especial
" for the parade and drills as her
streets are the widest, leYelest and as
twell paved as any Of the larger cities
in the State.
The hotel accommodations will be
found entirely adequate as the New
Frederick is Just completed and is the
finest hotel in the State, which, added
to the various other hotels, will meet
all demands that the Grand Lodge may
require. Suitable lodge room accom-
modations can also be found in abund.
ance; as the Auditorium of Marshall
College, the Opera House, the various
public school buildings and lodge
rooms and their magnificent Court
house, will all be available and perfect
ly adequate.
s Another important matter that was
disposed of last night was the matter
of mileage which was reduced to g
cents per mile each way. This meets
the highest rates on the railroads of
the State and on many of the trunk
lines is cent more than the rate
which has been made two cents. The
old mileage rate was 10 cents per mile
each way.
The Grand Lodge as well as the
Grand Temple of Rathbone Sisters
have been in busy session all day to-
day and the first real hard w0rk of the
meeting was commenced by each this
morning.
