latter was designated for appointment
to the army in April, 1882. and sue

his name. but 1T was sef:t to Austin
Allen Parker, in indianapolis, under the
impression that the two Games repre-

A few days later Allen Parker sent
in his address as Fairmoat, Ind, but
this was thought to be simply a change
of address, and no attention was paid
to il. In about month sfrom the is
suance OF the commission ;Austin Allen
Parker returned it to the War Depart
ment, with his acceptance and inviting
the attention of the offlci IS to the err
ror in his name, which :as promptly
corrected, and a new commission is
sued.
Another month passed Eefore 1t was
discovered that there were two Parkers,
and in order to correct the error Presi-
dent Mckinley consented t2 give Austin
Allen Parker an appointment. He was
subsequently examined. and obtained a
commission in his own Eght. Austin

While the regular troops have been

D. Grant. commanding the Department
OF the East. in a report 20 the War De-
partment.
Unless fewer officers are detailed from
the troops or an additional number of
officers added to the arm:',' says he ''the
efficiency of the troops cannot be sus-
tanned. The present meraaf and physical
strain upon the officers serving with
troops Is greater than SHOULD be expect
ed from them even in tiiAe of war. and 1t
will be only a question iof short time
until the size and cost CT the retired list
becomes such a burden las to call forth
Congressional legislation. 1t would be a
step toward the efficiency OF our mobile

separated from the organization which
garrison them, the administrative officers

Board Meets With Difficulty.

The board of inquiry found great diff
Guilty in getting TO the bottom. of the
trouble. The cadets, according to their
testimony, had felt for some time that
they had not been treated fairly by Capt
Longan. AS the list of their grievances
real OF imaginary, at the hands of this
officer grew, the feeling against him be-
came more and more intense. until II was
proposed by several members OF the SEN
ior class to give him the silence That
suggestion was not Immediately ap-
proved by the corps. and it was not until
zen days or two weeks after it was first
made that il was carried into effect.
Officers stationed at the academy say
that the cadets made their greatest mis-
take when they repeated the original
silence" That action went far toward
taking away from them any sympathy
that they might otherwise have had.
Furthermore, the second silence" made
it impossible for Gen. Barry, the new
superintendent to deal with the corps
lightly. Had the cadets conterted them
selves with the original silence" and let
it go at that, it is considered highly
improbable that any heavy punishment
would have been inflicted.

Napoleon Bonaparte instigated the
first pure food crusade. ~ In so doing
he brought about revolution In natu-
raj canning processes. In improved
form they are in use in the United
States to-day. Records Of the French
Academy of Science. just lately UNI
earthed In Paris, have laid bare the
whole pure food history. a
There was strong objection to the
manner in which the little Corsi-
cans" soldiers were compelled to carry
food and eat 1t while on the march.
So strenuously did the French nation
voice Its disgust at the methods then
in vogue that Napoleon directed that
the academy offer a prize Of 10000
francs to the man who could keep
foods indefinitely in their natural pre-
servatives, such as were then believed
to be in use, and which included salt,
sugar, vinegar and smoke.
