SAN FRANCISCO, November 23.-In
pursuance of orders from Washington
work on Notifications in the Philippines
is rushing. Men are laboring night and
day on Corregidor Island at the entrance
to Manila bay. and Grand Island, at Dion
gopo.
Already the mines recently received on
the transport Warren, which sailed from
this port two months ago, are planting in
Manila harbor, while powerful search
lights have been placed at all points that
skirt the Pacific. This information
reached San Francisco today on arrival
OF the naval collier Justin, which has
been stationed with the feet OF warships
at Cavite. The Justin carried ninety
seven great guns from Cavite to Corregi-

CANNOT RECEIVE AID.
Cross Country Runners Must Care
for Themselves.

L
NEW YORK. November 23.-There 10
some discussion among the college cross
country runners over the rule OF the In
tercollegfate Cross Country Association
prohibiting the giving of assistance, to
runners In the cross country champion
ship race. 1t has been customary for the
trainers to station men at intervals along
the course to give the men water and
stimulants and assist them in any fair
way. but the executive committee has
put the ban on this practice for some UNI
known reason and will not allow any man
to take anything from trainer or as
sistant during the progress Of the race
1t is not known why the committee has
made such a rule. as the A. A. U. and all
other bodies have allowed men to have at
tendants in races over five miles, and the
athletes claim that 1t is necessary to have
some one to give them aid in a long race
1t Is asserted that there can surely be
nothing harmful in allowing a man to
have some water or something stronger to
help him when he comes to the hard part
of the race, and the only thing that can
result from such q rule Is that the men
will be forced to carry their own re-
freshments over the course with them.

BERLIN, November 23-The reappear-
ance Of Berlins favorite tragedienne,

the Kleines Theater the other night, was
marred by one Of those unfortunate in
cidents for which the pleasant little the
alter has gained an unenviable reputation.
Some days ago it was announced that
Frau Sorma would play the part of Nora
in the text of Lange's translation. This
translation. however, belongs to DR..
Brahm of the Leasing Theater, who. ac-
cordingly, induced Herr LANCE to issue
prohibition against the use of his text by
the Kleines Theater. To make matters
square. the Frau Sorma quietly relearned
the whole part in the ordinary transa-
ton OF the complete edition.
After the first act however. the curtain
rose on the manager instead of on Frau
Sorma. He announced that the actress
had been badly upset by the, sight Of
stenographers in the house. who had in

ago on Nine. Rigouttat and accidentally
left in her body some three yards of

Some time ago another well-known
French surgeon in operating on patient
lost one of his rings. He remembered
later that he was wearing it while operat-
ing. and the patient had to be reoperated
upon, when the missing ring was found.
So many cases of the kind have occurred
during the last few years that they now
form the subject of a farce which Is being

PARIS, November 23-'Incompatibil.ty
of humor" was the principal ground for
divorce proceedings in case which came
up today in a judges private room. The
husbands chief grievance seemed to be
that his wife was inordinateiy extrava-
CANT in the matter Of dress. The lady
had ordered thirty-seven new hats in a
single year at an average cost of $40 per
hat, and in the same year she ran up
dressmakers' bills to the extent of So 400
for twenty-five dresses. The wife argued
that there was nothing extraordinary in
this expenditure. considering that her
husband was in good way of business,
and she herself had brought to him at the
time of her marriage a dowry Of $780, COO.
The husband replied that in six years of
married life his wife had spent almost
the equivalent Of her dowry in Dress
Finally an arrangement was come to
whereby the wife promised not to exceed
an expenditure of $1,000 a year on her
toilet. and the parties went away rec
onciled.

Fort dupont at Delaware City has beer
selected by the War Department at Wash
ington to be one Of the principal coast de
feDse stations along the Atlantic coast.
TO this end it has been decided to increase
the garrison now maintained there, which
will necessitate the erection of a number
of additional buildings.
At Fort dupont there are now lline sets
of officers quarters and three barracks.
These buildings accommodate the two
companies and the officers. Under the
new arrangements, whereby the station
is to become one Of the principal govern
ment reservations in the East, there will
tfrird company added to tie
son.
This extra company will require the
erection of three more sets of officers
quarters and the building of an immense
new barracks. For this work the next
Congress is to be asked to appropriate

The barracks will two stories high aud

wings in which vii be the living quarters
of the men. Along the front ofthe build
ing there will be porch on the first and
second stories. The entire building will
be fitted with all modern conyeniences
snd when completed the structure will be
one of the most up-to-date barracks to be
found at any post IN the country.
The officers quarters will also be of
frame and similar in every respect to.
those already constructed at the FORT.
This increase of another company will |
practically make the garrison 100 per
,ent. of full-manned detail, while the
,ther two forts at,this place will be sub.

and in the meanwhile We think it best to
invite the best offer that can be received

would make an exceptionally desirable

that we remove the building to Dover
but that would be impossible. The only
thing to do is to sell it and the purchaser
will get a bargain. .
