BERLIN, March IA valuable anthro-

only is the skull perfect, with all the
teeth. but also the entire framework OF
the body-the thorax, shoulders. pelvis
and extremities.
The skeleton is ascribed to the diluvial
epoch. but anything like precise esti-
nation of it's age will only be possible
after a thorough examination of the re-
mains of extinct animals among which
IL was found.

AT the capital of the United States. and
for the only portion of the organized

sively federal in its nature, an armory
should be erected which might serve as a

LINDLEY NJ. GARRISON,
Secretary Of War.
The city Of Louisville. KY. with a pop
ulatlon 10 per cent smaller than Washing
ton. has a splendid armory. 1t seems only
r1ght That the National Guard of the Dis
trict of Columbia. legally the only Ma
tional Guard In the United States, should
nave an armory adequate to its needs, and
the most perfect facilities. Its command
ing officer is the President: it is under the
direct supervision of the War Department.
and is the only organized militia that can
be ordered on duty on the same basis as
the regular army. To be consistent with
the national policy of building up citi-
zen soldiery. the national administration
to show what it can do, should develop
the National Guard of the District of Co
lumbia as an example and model for all
other organized militia. proper armory
and adequate facilities for training are
essential to this.

1T is not right to feed the fish and

polluted cargoes of fish and oysters are
rejected at the whar9es here they are
shipped around to Baltimore and sent
here that way. Ono member of the Dis

What Inspection viii Show.

AS inspection will clearly show Sec
rotary Garrison says, setting forth the
attitude. taken by him in his letter to
Chairman Clark, ''the present building is
entirely inadequate for the purpose in
tended, namely, to accommodate two reei-
ments and separate company of In
fantry. a battery of field artillery, a sig
nal corps company and field hosital.
In such an armory, aside from the neces-
sary drill space, provision must be made
for keeping the mems uniforms and like
clothing. aud for storing the large and
valuable field equipment of the organiza-
lions. including guns and carriages of the
battery of field artillery
The greater part of the instruction
which the organized militia receives and
without which 1t cannot properly partici-
pate in field training at the summer
camps. is given during the winter season
in armories. 1t is fact that where at
such armories there is lack Of floor space
Tor drill it almost invariably follows that
organizations are inefficient. In addition
where there are not proper facilities for
the storage of property, there results a
large loss of property to the United
States through depreciation due to lack
OF proper storage facilities.
The War Department has made every
effort to encourage the construction OF
armories by states, with a view to over
coming the defects l have mentioned. II
would seem that at the capital OF fine
United States. and for the only portion
of the organized militia which may be
said to be exclusively federal in its ma
ture. an armory should be erected which
might serve as a model for the others
throughout the country.

Dependence Upon Citizen soldiery

In war our dependence must be in
great measure upon our citizen soldiery,
maintaining as We do but small regular
army. For this reason everything per-
tanning to their better organization and
training that it is possible to do should
be done. ..s.tt.s.ete
The present building, as have said ia
inadequate for the purposes required. NOT
only this. but its location over a market is
undesirable, and it affords none of those
athletic features which are so essential in
training and in attracting to the organ
lied militia the civilian who desires,
through minimum training. to make
himself better fitted to serve his country
in time of war or other danger.
Il sincerely hope the bill may receive
the favorable consideration Of Congress. .

The Circus The Thing

distinctive and important depart

He it was that inducted bare
back riding though it is probable
that they used pads" in those
days. He certainly was the
father of chariot racing. These
he enhanced in interest by utlliz-
ing Christians as human torches,
at times.
With the Sig Saulelle 9-Big
Shows are several of the most
skilled, graceful and daring bare
back riders OF this or any age.
Chiefest is Oscar Lowande. This
intrepid artist is very Centaur of
riders. His astounding feats on
bridleless horse, are the acme OF
daring, and recklessness. Also
the poetry of graceful motion.
His somersaulting from the back
of one to the back of another in
the rear, stands alone as the star
horse feature of the century. The
act is a rare com bination of dar-
ing, skill aud agility, also calcula-
ton. The missing of single
inch in such evolution would mean
death, or manning. One scarcely
wonders why the announcer de.
mands perfect quiet under canvas

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
PAY AS YOU GO

In Boston, awhile ago. State
official quizzed the people who sci
goods to learn if other folks were
paving their bills, and found that
1883 tradeSmen were carrying on
their books more than million
dollars of IN. c." accounts.
One BostonIap in every 10 was
revealed to be a chronic dead
beat" That is, he refused to pay
or to make an effort to pay for
value received.
There is no reason to believe
that the human nature in Boston
is unique; we dare say there's some
OF the same brand here.
And it's another of the reasons
why old Cost of Living perches

But the other thnng is--well,
quite the contrary.
There are more ways of being
potriotic than by shouldering a
rife. One way is to paw what you
owe--if YOU can; but if you can't,
to pay as much as you can as soon
as you can.
Many folks who run into debt do
so heedlessly. They owe it to
society, now of all times, to think
before they plunge.

During the first six months the
Commission was in existence our
wardeus contiSca,ed more than
900 nets that were illegally used
in taking fish from the public wat
ers of the State. An estimate,
made by reliable and competent
men, shows that each illegal de-
vice used would take, under exist
ing conditions, 1000 pounds of
fish per annum. Figuring the
value of these fish at 500 per
pound, we have a cash value of
500, 900, and these fish were taken
from 435 miles of four of our navi-
gable streams. We think that it is
perfectly reasonable to claim that
the value of our fish alone IS at
least 100000 per annum, and if
properly stocked our streams
would yield annually quantity of
fish for in excess of this valuation
The laws protecting fish 5 hOuld
be changed to prohibit the taxing
of fish in any manner, i'll the pub
lie waters of Kentucky, except
with hook and line and trot line.
1t should be unlawful to take or
kill fish by sp=arirg, gi2glng,
cropping, tickling, rock fishing or
shooting.
If nets are to be used i'll the
Ohio and boundary streams, the
mesh should be not less than l e
inches, net measure.
All nets should be licensed and
tagged.
Fishermen should not be al
lowed to take fish under a certain
size, nor should they be permitted
to take them in great quantities
A law fixing a limit for a days
catch would be beneficial to the
fish and have tendency to cor
rect prevaricating proclivities Of
some fishermen.
