Burlington lg. 1.-THE last of
the endurance tests In which officers
of the depart cat OF the East, u. S.
A., have .beei participating was made
Wednesday, brin sing TO a close the
three days hikes which were com
menced on Monday. The officers
broke their camp at Shelburne bay
Wednesday morning and, taking a
roundabout route so as to cover the
requisite 80 miles, reached Fort Ethan
Allen early the following afternoon
In good spirits and in as good physi-
cal condition as could be expected
after a military jaunt.
Gen. f. d. Grant, commanding the
department of the East, in speaking of
the test, said:
I'VE made a fraction over 30 miles
each day but covered the required 80
miles in 20 hours and A minutes
thereby saving 16 minutes. All of the
officers stood the test very we'll. or
course they are more or less tired but
that was to be expected from such
jaunt There Is no complaint or great
distress.
Comparing the test just complot-
ed with the one made last fall from
Fort Ethan Allen, this one was not 50
much of test of horsemanship and
not so dangerous for a person with
organic trouble The present test
was more of test of endurance"
The test last fall was made over a
distance of 10 miles. FIVE at walk.
five at trot and five at a gallop. 1t
was accomplished at one jaunt. The
test just completed has extended over
three days, trot and a walk alternat
ing.
One of the pleasant features of the
march to Gen. Grant was his meeting
with DR.. S. w. Service, the old-time
friend of his distinguished father, Gen
U. S. Grant. DR.. Service, who is SEN
Tor veterinarian in the United States
army, with the 10th cavalry, and az
present stationed at Fort Ethan Al
len, had charge of the examination of
the horses which were used for the
march. He has seen 55 years with
the United States army, his acquain-
tanceship with the elder Gen. Grant
having had its beginning during the
Civil War.
At each time when the mess was
spread during the march, Gen. Grant
gave directions that the seat to his
right be reserved for DR.. Service
During his long term in the army this
hale veteran has performed duty not
only at the front in the Civil and In.
dian wars but at practically every
military post In the United States,
besides.
Oldest officer Triumphs.
There was much chatting about tho
march when the officers reached the
post and 1t was generally conceded
that Col. Edgar S. Dudley, Judge ad.
vocate-generaPs department and the
Oldest officer to take the test came
out in the best shape. Col Dudley
who is in his Gath year. reached the
| fort wreathed in smiles.
Gen. Grants report and that OF tho
examining surgeon will be made later
to the adjutant's department. While
nothing would be given out officially
by Gen. Grant he intimated that thu
report would be in every way favor
able.
Only one officer, Col John G. D.
Knight, corps of engineers, stationed
at Governors Island, was disqualified
He was 62 years old has weak heart
and was advised not to continue the
march at the end of the first day s
hike.

They were all the work of Grandmother Jessup's fingers; the poor little Dorothy who was married at sixteen, and buried at seventeen, and left to the moth erless babe who survived her. those queer old garments with their wonderful needleWork and their scent of cedar, 10 tell their short, sad story of an ended life. No wonder that the long dead Dorothy had sewed a pain into Her side. one which never left II until see lay white and cold. un- der the finest of her linen sheets. Doubtless the little babe that she left motherless inherited all her beauty, and all her frailty; else how should my Dorothy be so fair, and an orphan?
 That, however, was all con- lecture, for of her mother the girl never spoke. Without dar- lng to refer to It, 1 wondered much at the omission; for of her family, and it's ancient grandeur, of the old stone house with it's meager acres, even of her uu- kindly grandfather, she was in- ordinately proud

But when l continued to grieve so heartily and consistently that my health really suffered, they sent me over to my Uncle Ruel's, where the sight of Dorothy's grown up garments and cool in- difference would not prove a daily thorn III my flesh.
 Uncle Ruel lived i'll large manufacturing town where the bustie and activity seemed to my unaccustomed eyes quite metro- politan. Aunt Roxey petted me and made much of me.

 Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in q comnon cold. Con- sumption Is not caused by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and develop ment of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodg- ment.

SMITH COLLEGE.

Smith college keeps in the lead for popularity, if figures signify anything. There are now nearly fifteen hundred girls there, as against nine hundred at Vasser and Wesley, seven hundred at Mount Holbrook. and four hundred at Bryn Mawr. Smith seems to have solved the problem of living most hap oily in her cottage systems Here in eighteen separate houses, each with its own matron, thep girls form close corporations of friendship. Much of a girls happiness during her four years years at college depends upon her securing a congenial location on the campus. Many girls prefer to in sure a wise choice by remaining off the campus the first year, boarding in the village, and sizing up the social advantages of the particular house hold they wish to enter.
 Smith girls are noted for two things. their dashing appearance and their gay spirits. Translated very seriously. this means that the Smith girl is less exercised over her mental equipment than she is over a judicious arrange ment of her physical; and neither is her president. The avowed aim of Smith college is to produce healthy girl, able to take her place in society as befits a cultured and good woman. The Smith girl studies when she has to and when she wants to; the rest of the time, which is most of the time, she reverts to nature delightfully."- and

THE CASE DE STORM.

There is a lesson in the fate of J. P. Storm, late treasurer of Yavapai county, which should sink deep into the heart of every man who enters a position of public trust. He should never for an instant imagine that he can be unfaithful to that trust and evade the wrath of the men whose confidence he abused except by sui eide or by flight, which is most often futile
 A private citizen may commit a crime against another and escape, but when his crime is against a whole community, the community turns against him, its anger all the more terrible and relentless because it is impersonal.
 Of course, technically all crimes are against the community, and not against individuals, but we seek in this case to distinguish the crime of the public official from that of the private citizen whose victim is a private citizen and who is actually the only one aggrieved.

Though the majority in each house of the legislature will be more over whelmingly democratic than it has been in recent years, our democratic friends should not lay the flattering unction to their souls that that fact represents the state of things in the territory It has been ascertained that the democratic majorities by which their councilmen and assemblymen were elected, were so narrow that 15O republican votes judiciously scattered throughout the territory would have wiped them out and have elected a legislature solidly republican.

YAVAPAI CLUB FIRE.

Fire broke out yesterday morning in the beautiful building of the Yavapai club at Prescott. The first reports of the fire received here stated that the building and its contents were total loss. which was placed at S75,000. It was learned later. though that the flames were confined to the upper part of the building and that there was comparatively little damage to the lower part. The fire is understood to have originated from a defective flue. It was first discovered in the roof.
