Among the batch Of forty recruits re

an aristocratic face, a good 4gure, and
1t was evident at a glance that he did
not belong among that crowd. Private

from colonel to corporal that he was

Colonel Banks had lost his wife tive
years before, but he had not sent his
little daughter Edith east among rela-
lives, as 1t had been supposed be would
do. She was a handsome, sunny haired
child Of ten. and he chung to her and

A New Pain Killer.

According to Birmingham newspa-
per, quoted by Consul F. W. Mahin, a
new drug, called stovaine. has come
into use in England and abroad to pre-
vent pain IN surgical operations. II
does not produce consciousness. A
patient who has nerves strong enough
can watch a surgeon operate while I'M
der its influence.
Stovaine is injected into the lumbar
region Of the spinal canal and acts on
the roots of the nerves entering the
spinal cord. The injection produces a
certain amount of shock as well as Oe-
casionaI sickness and headache. How
long the effect of this anaesthetlc win
last is not stated or whether further
injections may be made during an op-
Grafton. Presumably the duration Of
the effect is not great. and only one in
lection is deemed prudent for a recent
instance is noted Of a surgeon speeding
an operation to the safety limit IN or
der to outstrip the recovering nerves.

that in, the course of his work in Cuba
Cairns came in contact with Gen. Wood,
and that some friction followed. In due
course Cairns was transferred to the Philip
pine service, where he has been duty
as one Of the inspectors in the custom serv-
ice. When Gen. Corbin, then in command
of the Philippine Division, ordered an in
qufry to be made into the charges that there
had been gross Irregularities in connection
with the making of furniture for officers
Cairns was detailed temporarily as an en-
ploye of the quartermaster's department to
investigate these charges. That investiga-
ton is still dragging on in a minor phase,
and it is said that the trouble between
Gen, Wood and Mr.. Cairns arose as an in
cident to the inquiry. However that may
be, the fact is that Gen. Wood has pre-
ferred formal charges against Mr.. Cairns,
alleging disrespectful language on his part,
and, Cairns being an employee of the civil
government and not subject to court
martial. he could be investigated only be-
fore the civil government, which is now
looking into the matter.

FREEZE IN VIRGINIA
BIG DROP IN TEMPERATURE
DAMAGES CROPS.

NORFOLK. Va, April "A heavy freeze
in the Norfolk county trucking belt last
night, with the thermometer down to 80
degrees, did much damage to growing
crops, such as early potatoes, peas and
beans. and fruit also suffered to a consid-
cradle extent. Strawberries We're in bloom,
but these being close in the vines were
more protected and did not suffer to such
an extent as did the fruit trees which were
in bloom.
The ground was frozen sufficiently hard
to bear the weight of the body in the truck
fields. Truckers said the full extent of the
damage could not be told until the sun ap-
pears and blackens the injured truck.
Heavy winds prevented the formation of
frost and this saved the fruit and ground
truck to some extent.

ship saying that when he wrote 1t down
he went further than it now appears:
" No. 245 East 18th street, New York.
+ Dear Sir: 1 am glad to see that you are
in town and hope soon to have oppor
-tunity of talking matters over with you.
- I had printed copies of the testimony sent
you in hopes that you would, after read
ing them. give me some idea of where I
stand, for I confess that I feel somewhat
at sea in the whole insurance matter. The
trouble originated in my allowing myself to
be drawn into other peoples affairs and
their request. 1 seemed to be like the fell
low who got in between the man and his
wife in their quarrel.
AS to my political instincts to which you
refer in your letter of December 10, 1 am
quite sure 1 have none and my being made
at all prominent in the political situation is
entirely due to President Roosevelt and
because Of my taking an active part in the
autumn Of 1904 at his urgent request, and
his taking advantage of conditions then
had been premeditated plot it could not
have been better started or carried out.
President Sent for Him.
About week before the election in the
autumn of 1904, when it looked certain that
the state ticket would go democratic, and
was doubtful as to Roosevelt himself, he,
the President, sent me a request to go to
Washington to confer upon the political
conditions in New York state. complied
and he told me he understood the campaign
could not be successfully carried on with
out sufficient money and asked IL l would
help them in raising the necessary funds,
as the national committee, under control of
Chairman Cortelyou, had utterly failed of
obtaining them, and there was a large
amount due from them to the New York
state committee.
I explained to him that I understood the
difficulty here was mainly caused by the
upstate leaders being unwilling to support
Depew for reelection as United States
senator; that If he, Depew, could be taken
care of in some other way thought mat
tiers could be adjusted and the different
contending elements in the party brought
into close alliance again. We talked over
what could be done for Depew and, finally.
he agreed that II found necessary he would
appoint him as ambassador to Paris

Palmer took the letter. After reading
three lines he Strengthened out of his
slouching posture and posted for the rear
of the public Office where Miller had been
observed at desk porting over a pile Of
papers.
Palmer leaned over Millsr and whispered
to him. At the same time he pushed the
letter into Mtllar's hands.
Millar ran through the letter rapidly
Two minutes after lis first appearance at
the railing Palmer was back again. He
beamed as he opened the gate and babe
the waiting visitor to enter. He chose the
