AFTER THE COURT-MARTIAL
The Army Captain Says That the Man on

Trial Is Sure TO surfer.
There isn't anything worse that can
happen to an army Officer than to be court
martialled for a small offence said an
army Captain. Even il IL is one Of the
offences for which a man is in no danger Of
dismissal from the service. it doesn't make
any difference.
You see. when a man ls brought up for
trial every commanding officer looks to see
what the result is and what is the nature Of
the testimony. OF course in every court
there are several commanding officers any

is found guilty. then the officers all expect
that he will try to be shifted from the post
where he is.
-As soon as he goes anywhere elae they
are on the lookout for him. From the
evidence at his trial they are prepared in all
sorts Of ways for hiB little peculiarities.
IF he happens TO have been fortunate or
unfortunate enough to be cleared by the
court-martial, his case isn't much better.
The commanding oftlcer always 10 looking

SOUTH TO BECOME IRON CENTER.
So States Mr.. Snyder, Leading Iron
Master Of Pittsburg.

Baltimore. Md,-The future of the
iron industry of this country is in the
SOUTH" was the statement made by Mr..
W. P. Snyder, leading iron master
OF Pittsburg, Pa. In pointing out rea-
sons for his faith in the great future
OF Southern iron interests Mr.. Snyder
said that within six years the ship
ments OF Lake ores will reach as
much as 100000 tons a year, and.
in connection with reference to the
rapid depletion of the Lake Superior
supplies under this tremendous drain,
he spoke Of the very great develop
ment which is taking place in the
south based ON the iron-ore and coal
resources of this section. The heavy
sales of iron at Birmingham for future
delivery, amounting during the past
two weeks to probably 100000 tons,
indicates the steady expansion at that
point, and the announcement, made
at the celebration of the opening Of
the Illinois Central's line to that city,
that that road had given contract
for 10000 tons of Birmingham rails is
a significant illustration of how rail-
road and industrial development in the
South go hand in hand and is sugges-
tive of turning toward revived in
duStrial activity

more than 100000 worth of gems,
gold work and relics, Rene Bacy, aged
35, describing himself as a Frenchman
and declaring that he had no place Of
residence, was arrested. He was
found covering in the dim lights of
the sanctuary.
Burglar alarm wires, cunningly
placed because of previous attempts
at robbery in the edifice, are RESPONSE
BILE for the capture of Bacy, who is
said to have made no effort to deny
his object in entering the church.
"The church had plenty of money. 1t
had more than /; l needed some Why
shouldn't l take it," was his answer
to the questions put to him by the po-
lice
Bacy joined the so-called charity
line which forms daily at the church
to receive aims The needy are never
turned away. Slipping quietly behind
statue Of the Holy Virgin, Bacy hid
until the services were finished He
remained hidden until all the lights in
the altar rail had been extinguished
Then he set out to collect the valu-
ables of which this, one of the veal

USED KNIFE WITHOUT PRICE.
World Famous Surgeon MercifuI to
Waits of Chicago.

Chicago, Ill.-Spurning the gold Of
millionaires, DIR. Albert Jansen, OK
Berlin, one of the greatest eye and
ear surgeons in the world, operated,
out of pure mercy, and without price,
on two unfortunate waits of the ten
ements.
The skill of the famous surgeon forl
which the wealthy men and women oil
Chicago in vain have begged and
pleaded with offers of fortunes, and
which at last was given for nothing,
resulted in two cures. The children,
who had been deaf, were made to hear.
DR.. Jansen came across the sea to
attend the recent sessions OF the
American Medical Association The
children upon whom DIR. Jansen opera
ted and to whom he restored their
hearing, are Willie Simpson, 8 yeas
old, and Marion Stahler, 8 years OF
1t was impossible for the father
and mothers of these children of pei
erty to gain an audience with tHe
world-famous Berlin surgeon. But
they wrote him two pathetic letters in
which they told him of the great af-
fiction that had befallen their little
ones, and begged him to cure them.

and faithfully borne its part in pay
ing the pensions of the union soldiers

ton should unite in caring for the con-
federate dead as well as the union
dead.
