Washington, March 21-Without
being materially amended in any
form, the fortifcation appropriation
bill passed the house. During the
closing debate the war department
was criticized by several members re
garding money spent on Notifications
at Subig bay, which, it was charged.
mendatiOn that the defenses at Cayite
be strengthened. Criticism likewise
was offered to estimates of the de-
partment which recommended an ap-
preparation of over $4,000 900, which,
it was stated, could not be expended
in ten years. The democrats at one
time procured the adoption of an
amendment permitting the secretary
of war to purchase abroad any war
material but the republican leaders
soon rallied and reversed that action,
leaving in the bill restriction to
limited quantities." Representative
Coudrey OF Missouri introduced a
bill providing that all ex-presidents of
the United States shall become hon
orary members of the United States
senate for life and as such shall re-
ceive 81, 900 per year
Almost the entire session of the
senate was consumed with considera-
ton of the legislative. executive and

as passed carried $32,945. 631

Several interesting and valua ble personal letters enter into the sketch of Robert. Fulton in France" in the October Century, one of which offers indisputable proof that Fulton was the first to suggest the Erie Canal. The story of Fulton's experiments with the first submarine torpedo boat is told in these letters and additional text by his great-granddaughter, Alice Crary Sut- cliffe, who calls attention to the fact that those who have criticized his aim of securing "a lasting peace" by means of destructive agent, the tor pedo--boat, weapon designed to cause wholesale ruin and devastation, should remember that he was animated by the hope that so powerful an instrument in the hands of a righteous nation would ultimately put an end to all war fare on the seas.

No hospitality can be more whole hearted and far-reaching than that which Mrs Ellen Maury Slayden and her husband enjoyed in Barcelona. and of which she has written for the Octo- Der Century. "One of the prettiest things in home life all over Spain, !" she says, 'is the natural and kindly way in which the servants are made a part of the family. In the Don's house the little maids often took part in con- yersation, spoke to the guests, and ask ed them to stay longer; and even the porters and kitchen visitors popped their red-capped heads into the door to say the Spanish equivalent for "How- dy'' to the family, just as old negroes do in the Southern States"

When Columbus sighted lanG on October 12, 1892, when the sail. ors on the Santa Maria first sighted land, the least surprised man aboard the three vessels of discovery was Co., lumbus himself. That was the very purpose which he had set out to accom- plish. He had studied and planned and prepared himsef, taking advantage of all the experience of others. He had talked with scholars, advised with mariners. even consulted the Astrol- ogers, as was the custom of the day, and had left no stone unturned that might disclose fact or theory that would be of service to him in his great undertaking. He had prepared him. self for success and, when it came, he was deeply grateful but not surprised. With much less trouble and more cer. tainity may the young man or woman of to-day prepare for success The fund of knowledge is vastly larger, and the sources accessible to all of you so that the road to success is easy. Bridgeport Business College in the Court Exchange Building can help you to master the work that is at the foundation of modern business meth ods. Thorough preparation in English and Mathematics, followed by book keeping or shorthand will give you a better equipment for business than Co., lumbus had for discovery when he started on his eventful voyage. MT Cunningham has established a school that is model in all respects, and the system of individual instruction, un- der capable teachers, irsures the best results in the shortest time consistent with thoroughness.

Of curious, even startling, interest
 in the October Century instalment of
 William H. Crooks memories of An
 drew Johnson in the White House, is
 his statement that private corre- spondence between President Johnson and General Butler was going on dur ing the latter part of the trial when
 Butler was still apparently the Pres ident's bitterest enemy. Mir Crook says: ''I was the messenger and the letters were always sent at night. MT Johnson would call me to him and say "Crook, here is letter for General Butler. 1 wish you would take it to him and wait for an answer" Although I can remember no positive direction from the President, my recollection is that these messages were not to be talked about. Sometimes the Presi- dent would say "There is no answer. General Butler lived on I Street, near 18th. It was a shor. walk from the White House to his home. When Irang the bell, the butler answered it. He was curious old chap, cross-eyed like his master. When there was an an- swer, I always gave it into the Presi- dents own hands. He always tore up the notes; saw him do it. It used to puzzle me good oeal. Why should Mir Johnson and man who was pleading so bitterly case against him have this correspondence? Why should President Johnson, who always kept every scrap of cnrresondence, even his bills, tear up these notes?"
