Presidents Act illegal. tt
The act of President Roosevelt in Or
dering federal troops to assist the Aero
club of st, Louis at its recent inter
national balloon races was, in the opin.
ion of General George 3, Davis. judge
advocate general Of the army, unconstI
tutional. This opinion is also shared
by Acting Secretary of War Oliver
!. General Davis points out that the pro-
cedure was in violation of the act of
congress approved June is, 1873, which
forbids the use of United States troops
as a posse comitatus to execute the
as may be authorized by the laws of
congress and the constitution of the
United States, The course pursued,
says General Davis, tends to divert
troops from their legitimate duty" and
he urges that the law and the army
regulations bearing on the case be
brought to the attention of all officers
in the army who are in the exercise of
important military commands.
Against Contract Canal.
The annual report of the isthmian
canal commission shows expenditures
up to date of $4S, 2S5. SSO37 and graft
flying progress in the work. On June
30 the total force of skilled and unskill
ed laborers was 29,446, an increase of
10000 over the previous year. The
death rate among employees for sew
eral years past shows a marked i'm
provement in health conditions, mainly
due to sanitation better housing facili-
ties and better food supplies. The re-
port strongly recommends the con-
tinuation of the work by the national
government direct and not through
contractor or syndicate Of contractors.
May Resort to CONSUMPTION.
One of the features Of the annual re-
port of General F. c. Ainsworth, ad-
jutant general of the United States
army, which has called forth no little
comment throughout the country is the
statement that If present conditions
continue there will be nothing for the
government to do to secure men for
the military service but to materially
increase the pay of enlisted men or re-
sort to CONSUMPTION The report shows
that the deficiency below the aRthor,
lied strength of the army on Oct. Is.

where, even in Europe. In summer it fairly
overflows with vacationists and excursion
lists, drawn from every quarter of the con-
tinent as well as from the various sections
of Europe. For general liveliness and pic
turesqueness 1t is difficult to find Old
Orchards equal any more. The social life
here is cosmopolitan, as may be readily
seen by even the casual observer.
Immense hotels, an ocean pier, breezy
promenades and all sorts of outdoor and
indoor ATTRACTIONS are here Observation
cars run along the beach, open-air con-
certs are held frequently. and a dull hour
al the resort rarely ever occurs. The
beach is shaped like Il crescent. is ten miles
long. and with its hardness and smooth
ness is an ideal drive for automobiles. I'm
mediately back of the beach the ground
rises and is covered with pine. fir. b3lsam
and other forest trees, thus giving this re
sort a combination of saashore and country.
one of the most popular hotels of Old
Orchard is the Hotel Emerson. 1t was
erected in 1850, enlarged in 1900 and many
additional improvements have been made
each year until its construction and equip
mcut make ii meet in the fullest sense the
requirements of those who spend the sum-
mer on the coast of Maine. The hotel is
located within fifty feet Of the ocean S

on the eastern slope of Mt. Washington
and the presidential range are q number
of beautiful and popular resorts. The noun
tain prospects from this side are considered
by many to be finer than those on the
westward side of the main group. The
Jackson falls, the water rushing down the
slopes through the center of the valley, fill
ing the air with melody, is a feature of this
side of the mountain.
Incrvale is a popular spot and the many
visitors leave it with regret 1t is located
in the upper valley of the Saco, and is sur
rounded on all sides by the great giants of
the White mountain range. Possibly the
best view of the snow-capped summit of
Mt. Washington flanked by the presidential
range is obtained from Inervale. Near the
railroad station are the stately Cathedral
Woods. famous for their ajestic beauty
and through which are numerous fine drives
and walks.
Another favorite spot with the tourists is
the Twin mountain. a range lying between
the White and FranConia mountains. The
view from Twin mountain is remarkable,
embracing Mt. Washington and the Amo-
noosuc river on the east and the Fran
coma region on the west. This was the
summer home of Henry Ward Beecher, and
is said to have been the inspiration of many
of his brightest and noblest thoughts.
