The Army-Navy Game.
From the baltimore sun.


If in their future professional careers the
young men at the army and navy schools
should become engaged in real battle of
great proportions, 1t ia not likely they will
regard the result as more important than
they now regard the outcome of the foot
ball battle which will take place at Phila-
delphia this afternoon. To witness the
game between the team Of midshipmen
from Annapolis and the team of cadets
from West Point many thousands will
gather. All The officers of both arms of
the service. from those of the highest
rank to the lowest. who are within reach,
will be there. Civil officials of the highest
rank and foreign ambassadors will watch
the struggle with boyish interest and en-
thusiasm Ladies Will rival the men in
their manifestations of interest. Young
men and maidens, old men and children
will throng the grounds. At the cOnclu-
sion of the game the score will be flashed
to the four corners of the earth. Army
and navy officers on duty or in their clubs
at Manila. at Cavte. at Iloilo. at Guam.
at San Juan. at Havana. at Hawaii. will

seas who has a drop of sporting blood in
him will be Indifferent to this friendly
battle between Uncle Sans boys.

The House Rules.

Representative Gardner OF Massacuu-
seus faNofs change in the rules of the
House. and states his case in this way:
II shall not decide how to vote on the
Speakership until j know the names of
the candidates. / am more interested in
change IN the rules than in a change
in-the speakership. II We members of the
House continue TO adopt rules abandoning
our power and shifting our responsible
ties 10 the Speakers shoulders We must
not go back TO our constituents and crv
baby because he exercises that power
while We cheerfully leave him to bear the
burden
This places the responsibility where it
properly belongs. Instead of yelling czar

House take up and consider the procedure
of business. The majority has the power TO
direct what that procedure shall be. 1t is
nonsense to say that the Speaker Is the
master of the House. He never is. He
could not travel outside OF his orders
without answering for his usurpation. He
travels by chart. and the House can

Get Off Right.
from The Savannah News.

From The Savannah News.
The proper manner in getting on and
off Of street cars is being taught in the
public schools of Chicago and the idea is
not at all bad. 1t is probably a fact that
not more than woman in ten knows
how to get off street car in a manner
that is least dangerous. if she does
know she fails to exercise her knowledge
Most of the falls from street car steps
are due to the fact that the. person gets

STREET CAR RUNS
DOWN A WAGON

An accident happened this morning
on the city lines of the Walla Walla
Valley Traction company, one which
rure accident saved from being a SER
ious, if not fatal one Car No. g.,
running around the loop and down
Boyer avenue, ran into a laundry Wag-
on on College avenue running over one
front Wheel buc not seriously injuring
either horse or driver, about 10 o'clock
this morning.
The wagon was No. from the Wal
la Steam laundry, and was driven by
Rufus Johnson. The motOrman was
D. B. Day, and he wears on his cap
the hoodoo number "23." So no Won
der it happened No one was seri-
ously hurt, but Johnson was bruised
some.
The fault. it seems, was not that OF
the motorman but rather of mlScai-
culation on the part of the driver of
the wagon According to the story Of
the motorman. the wagon was travel
ing along the track, and when he rahS
the gong, turned away from che track.
This is borne out by the tracks, which
were easily discernible Immediately af-
ter the accident, as the street was
freshly sprinkled AS soon as the drlv-
er turned out the molorman said he
ran his car a little faster. Then the
driver turned on to the track and be-
fore the car could be stopped, ran down
the wagon. When he rang the gong
the second time and endeavored to
stop, the wagon wheel slid inside the
rail and could not be turned out IN
time.
When the car struck the wagon, the
horse had been turned out and off the
track and beyond being badly frighe-
ened, was not hurt. The driver was
thrown out and the car ran over the
front wheel, not breaking it, as would
be supposed, but merely turning it Il
little The wagon was splintered in
other places, however, and is badly
damaged. The fender of the car was
also badly bent. A jack screw was
sent for and the wreck soon removed
from the track.

MOUNTED FORCE IN UNIFORM.

Another step in the metropolitan ap-

he taken within the near future, when
the platoon of mounted police Will ap-
near IN full regulation uniform, includ-
ing club, helmet and brass buttons.
Ever since the platoon Of patrolmen
was augmented with the mounted OFF,
GERS. there has been more or less re-
mark made because of the action OF
the city in not providing that they
wear regulation uniform; but it was
not until today that the decision was
MADE to take such a step.
The mounted police have become one
OF the necessities of the Garden City,
aud it has been regretted that they
could not be in evidence upon occasions
of street parades, and similar big
events as they have not the trim and
natty suits of the patrOlmen. But In
street parades the mounted platoon
will now precede the patrolmen and
