Counsel for the plaintiff argued that If
the president has power to discharge
three companies he has the power to
discharge the whole army on .sus-
picion. This, he intimated, would lead
to dictatorial powers not intended by
the constitution. In reply to this line
Stimson said, 81 can scarcely conceive
of the president leading to battle an
army Of contractors having constitu-
tional rights making them above the

More Kentucky Feudists Killed.
At Crockettsville, in Breathitt coun-
ty, KY, May 4, occurred another one
Of those bloody tragedies for which
that region has been noted many years
during the progress of the Hargis-
Cockrill feud. Ex-Sheriff Callahan of
the Hargis faction while in his own
store was MORALLY stabbed by his
brother-in-law, John Spicer, and mo-
ment later Spicer was slain by the son
Of Callahan. On the same day in Jack
son Daniel White, a Hargis man, shot
and killed Jim Fugate of the Cockrill
side in street duel. The son of Cal
lahan, Wilson, after shooting Spicer
gave himself up to the authorities, but
was released ON bail. The death of
Callahan brings joy to the widow of
James Marcum, as she charged Hargis
and Callahan with instigating the muir
der Of her husband by Curtis Jet
Graft Scandal In Baltimore.
Mayor Mahool of Baltimore has re-
moved two commissioners for the
opening of streets, a Republican and a
Democrat, after an inquiry had proved
the charge Of Contractor Robertson
that $500 had been paid to ex-Con-
gresham Rusk as the go between.
The demand Of the commissioners for
$4,000 on a $4,000 contract was ex-
posed, and the informant was the pres
ident of the Maryland Paving COM
pany. The payment of the cash to
Rusk was witnessed by detectives con-
cealed in a bookcase. Rusk is chair
man of the Democratic city commit
tee, but has rendered his resignation.
He has been at the head of the COM
mittee for six years and was elected
to congress three times.
Bank Cashier Short $4es, 900.
William Montgomery, cashier of the
Allegheny National bank of Pittsburg
and former friend and adviser of. the
late Senator Quay, has been arrested
on the charge Of having embezzled
$468, 900 of the banks funds, that
amount being missed, but much
larger shortage being suspected. The
shortage was exposed by statements of
James Young and Henry Reiber, for
mer officials of the Farmers Deposit
bank, now in prison for extensive loot
ing Of the latter institution. They say
that large part of the loot went as
loans to Montgomery to cover up his
shortage. The fact that the Allegheny
National has long been the headquar-
ters Of the state Republican machine
financially gives exceptional impor-
lance of this procedure.

That the head Of the Christian Sci

in letter to Current Literature. He
says she holds that when mortals
shall have reached the point of spirit

dominated by that mind which was in
Christ Jesus, it is manifest that the

Quaint Methods Of the Early Days OF
New EnuIand.

Quaint Methods of the Early Days Of
New England.
In the early days of the settlement of
New England the custom Of sending
packages by neighbors who journeyed
to different parts of the country was
an established one. The notebook OF
Schoolmaster Joseph Hawley of North
ampton, Mass, when he started on
trip to Boston was filed with such
varied items as: Captain Partridge, a
dial and dish kettle" "Son Joseph,
speckled red ribbon, whistles, buckles
and fishhooks;" "a shilling worth of
plumb and spice;;" 1.-TWO psalters, a ba-
son and quart pot. In "Old Paths
and Legends Of the New England Bor-
der" Katherine NJ Abbott says that II

Lyman's day. His daughter, Mrs.
Lesley, writes of 1t In "Recollections OF
My Mother
There were no expresses then, and
SO when it was known in the village
Of Northampton that Judge and Mrs
Lyman were going to Boston-and they
always took pains to make it known
throng of neighbors were coming In
the whole evening before not only t.
take an affectionate leave, but to bring
parcels Of every size and shape and
commissions Of every variety.
One came with dress she wanted

Curious Incident In the Career of
Novelist Crockett.

Curious Incident In the Career Of
Novelist Crockett.
8. r. Crockett, the novelist, told a
rather remarkable story Of an incident
that befell him in his early writing
days, before fame and fortune had
come to him and while he struggled
on for living. At that time he was
obliged to write for very small sums
indeed, and among the publications to
which he contributed columns and half
columns was the st. James Gazette,
a London penny evening newspaper.
One morning the postman brought to
Mr.. Crockett a letter from the editor
Of the st. James Gazette containing
a small check as payment for a con-
tribution. Mr.. Crockett knew that
nothing was due to him, that he had
been paid for all his articles, andre
markable mamie did the check up in
an explanatory note and returned 1t to
the editor.
The next day back came the check
from the editor r remarkable man
with a note saying it was due. The
st. James Gazette had published an
article from the pen Of Mr.. Crockett
which had not been paid for; hence
the check. Again Mr.. Crockett-re.
markable man = returned the check
and still the remarkable editor refor-
warded it, this time with the article
cut out Of the columns of the St
James Gazette.
Now comes the curious feature of
the incident. When Mr. Crockett clap
ped eyes on the article, he was aston.
ished to find it one of his dreams
materialized. One night, going to bed
extra tired, he dreamed that a good
idea for a st. James Gazette column
had occurred to him; that he then and
there sat down, wrote 1t and posted it
Next morning he remembered his
dream and made up his mind some
day to write the article exactly as he
dreamed he had written 1t, when, to
his establishment, came article and
check from the newspaper. Few writ.
ers earn checks while asleep.

CONGRESSIONAL
IN THE HOUSE

Washington, D. c., May 16.-The
process of cleaning up preparatory
to adjournment was continued in the
house today. The sundry civil APP
preparation bill was sent to confer
ence; the conference report on the
military academy bill was agreed to;
and the following bills passed:
Granting compensation to govern
ment employees for injuries sustained
in the service; authorizing contin-
ance of the Inland Waterways Com
mission and creating a national for
est in Minnesota.
With a view to paving the way
of the tariff, a resolution was passed
permitting the committee on ways
and means to sit during the coming
recess and conduct hearings. Mr..
Williams, the minority leader, and
several of his colleagues character
lied the resolution as a mere subter-
fuge for political ends. On the
whole the session was marked by
considerable discussion, which on one
occasion lead to a sharp tilt between
the speaker, Mr.. Cochrane, of New
York and Mr.. Gains of Tennessee.

SOLDIER FLIES
With HIS BRIDE
AFTER SENSATIONAL coURTsHlP
OF THREE DISADVANTAGE
AND coolNG-PRlvATE sExsoN
DESERTS, TAKING WIFE WITH
HIM,

Not long ago a romance came to
pass in this city wherein a golden
haired maiden and young son of
Mars were the central figures which
should have entitled the soldier to
special mention for "gallantry in ac-
ton had not his love betrayed him
into conduct to "the detriment of the
service
Early in February a bunch of
rockies" arrived at Fort Lincoln
from an eastern recruiting station,
and among them was Francis Sexson,
a dashing and debonair soldier of
comparatively tender age for one who,
according to his romances, had seen
much of the world in various chimes.
and the fact that he was well tattooed
on body and arms bore out the story
that he had, before enlisting in Uncle
Sans army, sailed the raging MAIN
as gallant man-o'-warsman.
About this time fair and attractive
maiden became night employee in
one of the city restaurants, and soon
after pay day came around at Lincoln,
and Sexson, with others of the men,
come to town to spend their stipend.
1t was one Of those rare cases of
love at first sight. A look exchanged
and Cupid had done his and
for three nights Mars smiled upon
Venus, and patrons of the house al
most had to go hungry, so wrapt was
the maiden in her dashing lover. At
the end of that time the restaurant
last its helper and the soldier gained
a bride.
Never were lovers more devoted.
The restraints of the post became
irksome, and his enforced absence
from the city, where the loved one
resided, became unbearable, SO few
nights ago the post knew the soldier
no more, and Bismarck lost one of
her fairest daughters.
Little by little for some time past
Sexson must have been bringing his
personal possessions to town, for, at
the expiration of his 24-hour pass, and
he failed to report for duty, it was
found that his locker was empty
Where they have gone no one knows,
but it is presumed he has hiked with
his bride to the far east, to which he
had looked with longing ever since his
arrival at the post. 1t is not known
that he had other means that his
small pay, and the embarkation on a
new life with wife-and Uncle Sam
after him for all he is worth-seems
a hazardous proceeding.
1t is probable there will be other
chapters to relate in this romance OF
loves young dream.

in TIE SENATE

Washington, D. c., May 16.-The
senate today adopted the resolution
reported by Mr.. Aldrich from the
committee on finance giving the COM

pert assistants necessary to provide
for an intelligent revision of the tar
iff and to report what further legis-
lation is needed to secure equita-
BILE treatment for the agricultural

tive cost of production in this and the
principal competing foreign coun-
tries. This action. is in preparation
for general plan for revision of

gress.

100000 for the acquisition OF
lands on water sheds of navigable
streams in Southern Appalachian
mountains within Maryland, Virgin
la, West Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and
Tennessee, and the White mountains
of New Hampshier and Maine.
Senator Carter secured an agree
ment to make the postal savings
bank bill special order in the SEN
ate for December IA, next, this &C
ton being taken in view of the lack
of time in the present session to
permit the senators to speak on the
measure.
The announcement was also made
by Senator Fulton, chairman of the
committee on claims, to the effect
that he would not press for vote
on the omnibus claims bill at this
