WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE ap-
pointment of a West Virginia negro
to be recorder of deeds for the District
of Columbia has been requested by the
West Virginia delegation in congress.
John C. Dancy, the present incumbent,
has had two terms. He is a negro
from North Carolina, and the argu
ment used is that he comes from a
State where the negro is practically
disfranchised, while in West Virginia
the negro vote helps maerlally to
make the State Republican, and there
fore should be given recognition. w.
D. Robinson. of Pendleton county, is
the colored man the West Virginians
are urging for the place.

part OF First Lieutenant H, F. colley,
Bremumd's superior officer, that the

not OF approved style and color. So
far as the Department knows they
were as fine IA pair of pants as ever
were worn by gallant artflleryman.
But ON the fateful day in question
( Bremund was ordered to come down
from his bunk and ''put on your trou-
sers after you come down." Possibly
1t was manly modesty that actuated
Soldier Bremund-anyhow, whatever
the cause, when Bremund came down
from his bunk he had his trousers on.
Later in the day, Lieutenant Colley
ordered Bremund back to his bunk
< and told him to take his trousers on
before doing so. BY that time, appar
emily, Bremund had become SO much
attached to mis- trousers that he decid'
ed to wear. them to bed with him. Not
only that, but to make his case worse.
