Capt. F. E. Hopkins, commanding Bat.
terry 3D. OF the Blue Army, was higfi-

for as brilliant a piece of Artillery
answering as this war has yet
seen. The Captains Battery, as stat

Water Tower on kokolea Hill anu
shortly after seven a. m. engaged the
enemy's artillery located on the crest
of Kaukonahua Hill. After a few
salvos had been fired the battery sud-
denly hmbered up and dashed away
at full gallop, always under cover, to
a position 1000 yards distant towards
the mountains. Firing few shots at
this point the same move was repeat
ed. thus giving the enemy the impress
sion that three batteries were in ac-

The donghboys who saw the marines
start off today, with two men each
to the two machine guns, and two
apiece to the tripods, are wondering
how they turned the trick for long
march, When, after ten minutes, the
burdens were passed over to another
set of huskies, while change of rifles
for reviewers was also effected, they
saw how IL was done.

He Wouldn't Tell.

THE eminent DIR. Llorente. physician To
the royal family Of Spain. told a re-
porter in New York recently that he
thinks the American woman is spoiled.
In my own country" said DIR. Llorente,
IA woman is content to be queen of her
household. but here woman wants TO be
both KING and queen.
The doctor, smiling, continued:
II was surprised to hear that in some
cases the American husband has, actu-
ally. To conceal the condition of his
finances from his wife Ia order to curb
her extrava gances. Thus the rich young
wife's complaint to her doctor. a friend
of mine in New York. would be impos-
sible in Spain. where married peopIe are
happy companions.

A Parthian Shot.


A GOOD story about DIR. Lyman Abbott
was told at Mrs o. ii. p. Belmonto
suffrage lunchroom in New York.
DIR. Abbott, so the story runs. dined
with a prominent suffragist at her great
house on 9Th avenue. and during dinner
s.ormed at the suffrage cause with all his
well known force and yigor.
The poor suffragists. over their astra-
khan caviar and winter Strawberries,
were quite squelched by DIR. Abbotts elo-
quence; but on his departure his hostess
planted a Parthian shot between the
shoulders OF the distinguished clergyman.
As DIR. Abbott PASSED out of the court
yard of the mansion on taking leave. a
huge wolfhound began to bark and bay
furiously, whereupon the hostess opened
a window and called demurely:
oh. DR.. Abbott, please don't bite my
dog"

Now there is being substituted for these mo-
tors what is known a mOnorail line
very picturesque transportation scheme
whereby a car capable of holding twelve
is suspended from d rail-hung like sad
die bags on a horse-and whisked along
at lively gait, making the round trip
between the Senate building and the Cap
Itol in a very few minutes. These mono
rail lines have been used to some extent in
Germany, but they are new thing here,
and the one which is now building at the
Capitol is unlike any other in the world.

The lower house is, nevertheless, inter
esting itself in connecting links for the
two buildings, and to that end there has
been installed a remarka BILE pneumatic
tube system, about 100 feet in length for
the transfer of mails books. etc, between
the Capitol and the House office building.
Strictly speaking, maybe, this shouldn't
be called pneumatic tube, because unlike
the pneumatic tubes operated at the post
offices in> New York and other large cities
ii is operated by suction instead of b.
compressed air. Anyway, this new rapid
transit line is especially interesting be-
cause tn etube is eighteen inches in diam
eter, nearly twice the size of the SIM
liar tubes at New York and elsewhere. 1t
is entirely automatic in its action, and it
sends scOOting its full length a heavily
loaded mail sack just as easily, appar-

The presiding officers of the Senate and
House, respectively, duly delegate each
year some person to operate the Capitol
restaurants. but such have been the mis-
fortunes OF one caterer after another that
there is no longer any scramble for q Do
sition which is all honor and very little
profits. You see. mine host of a Capitol
cafe has a very limited period of &C
tivfty each day. The congressman are
never there for breakfast, nor for that
matter is the general public that is also
permitted to patroniZe these restaurants,
but in rooms apart from those reserved
for the distinguished patrons.
Similarly there is no trade for the even
ing meal except on rare occasions. All
the trade of these unique eating places
comes in the form of a rush at the noon
hour. The upshot of the matter is that
for all that Congress makes all sorts of
concessions. such as free rent, free light
and free heat, these Capitol restaurants
are anything but gold mine for the
managers and the only way in which it
is possible to attract capable caterers to

conveniences-Eence these latest improve
