Prison Bars.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6:-Haying been
born in prison cage, it was only
natural that a canary, regretting the
breaking Of home ties at a fmoment
when the door was left open, should
pause in his recalcitrant career when
he saw the hundreds OF barred win
dows Of the Tombs. prison. Heal
ways had associated bars with we'll

This runaway canary had been try

cage-a. jail bird cage, "A down and
outer" at the penny coffee stand un-
der the Tombs wall caught the hun-
cry and remorseful bird. John Crow
ley, turnkey, who had watched the
little fellow for days, gave the outcast
is cents for the bird and took him
inside the prison.
There the canary was happy again.
He flew, about the cage walls, ate
greedilys from the bird see dishes, took
a splashing bath in the bright sun
shine, and sang joyously. The bars
made him feel at home, and he may
serve a term for life there.

BAT,TI,E
LOSSES REVIEW

e w 4
war was, comparatively,
of brief duration, and hence a COM
parison Of the aggregate casualties
cannot properly be made. But in the
American Civil war during the six
months following May a. 1864, the
various Union armies sustained great
er loss than the German armies did
during the whole Franco-Prussian
war. The total loss OF the German
army in that war was 2S,277 killed or
wounded, S5,4S2e wounded
and 14,138 missing; total, 127, 1887.
The casualties at Borodino, one OF
the bloodiest battles since the use Of
gun powder, have been variouslyl stuc-
ed. The Ency cloped ia Britannica puts
the Russian loss at 10000 as killed,
wounded and prisoners, and the
French loss at Considerably above
20,000." Allison gives the losses at
Borodino in round numbers only, plac-
ing. the French loss at $4,000 and the
Russian at $4,000. The most credible
statement is found in the journal Of
the London Statistical Society, which
places the number of killed and
wounded in the, French army at Boro-
dino at '2s,0s5, Nout of 10000 troops
present on the field. The Russian
army numbered 10000 at that battle.
and there is nothing to show that its
loss was greater than that Of its an
tagonist. Although the number OF
killed and wounded at Borodina was
greater numerically than at Waterloo
and Gettysburg, the percentage Of loss
was very much less.

French Lost at Waterloo about
10000; Confederates at
Gettysburg &c, 448.

From the Army and Navy Jogrnal.l
The heaviest loss in the battles OF
the eighteenth century was at Kuners-
dorf; fought August ~, 1853, wherv
$4,000 Prussions met $1,000 Russians
and Austrians, and the total casuaisy
list numbered 49, $40 killed and wound
ed; 43,4 per cent for the Prussians
and 22.1 per cent for the allies. AT
Zorndorf, fought a year earlier, Au-
gust Is, 1858, the forces were smaller
and the total casualties fewer, but the
percentage Of casualties greater, num-
bering 42.9 per cent for the $4,000
Russians and 33.3. per cent for the &c.
900 Prussians.
The principal battle Of the nine
teenth century was Leipzig. October
10, 1873, the Battle Of the Nations =
where Napoleon with 1000 men met
and defeated the allied army nuns
bering 3O1,500. Napoleon's casualties
numbered $4,000 and those Of the al
lies $4,000, but in percentages the
losses told heavily against him, 26.S
percent to 1872 per cent for the Rus
sans, Prussians and Austrians.
At Aspern, May q, 1909, 10000
French lost 42,OsO. or 1853 per cent.
and III, 900 Austrians 22,520, or thirty
per cent. At Borodino, September Z,
1872. the French lost 24,500, or 1874
per cent of their 10000. and the RUS
slams 81 800, or thirty-one per cent
of 121 900 men. These are the fig
ures Of Otto Berndt in Die zahl I'M
Kriegesa Wien, 1897. Fox. in his Reg
Eimental Losses Of the Civil War" gives
figures for Waterloo which do not
agree with those of Berndt, but they
are sufficiently near not to disturb
the interesting comparison Fox makes
between Waterloo and Gettysburg.
At Waterloo the French numbered
10000 men and 252 guns; the allies
numbered $4,000; men and 1856 guns.
At Gettysburg the Union army num-
bered $4,000 men and 800 guns; the
Confederates, 20 900 meniand $50 guns.
At Waterloo Wellington's army lost
e. 1S5: at Gettysburg Meade's army
lost %, 0O3.
The loss Of the French ut Waterloo
has never been officially announced,
but has been estimated at 26,30O; the
Confederate loss at Gettysburg, as of
ficially reported by the Confederate
surgeon general was 20,44S, to, which
must be added 1907, wounded and un-
wounded prisoners, whose names ara
omitted from his lists, but appear on
the records at Washington.
In short the battles Of Waterloo ana
Gettysburg were fought with from
"a, 900 to 81, 900 men on each side, and
the CONTESTANTS lost about $4,000 men
each. tii.i
In the F'ranco-Prussian war the
greatest loss occurred at the battle Of
Gravelotte, where the Germans lost
4.449 killed (including the MORALLY
wounded), $3.50 wounded and ss9
missing; total, 20.577, out OF l46,0Oo
troops sohgaged, exclusive of $4,000
reserves. At Gettysburg Meade,s
army sustained a greater loss with

Extension Work under the Di-
rectjon Of. Professor
Barnes.

4 'F,AIRaONT, Nov. 6.-The Fairmont
state normal school lis branching out
and adding new departing nts to 4 It's
already comprehensive curriculum.
The latest venture and perhaps one
of the most popular yet attempted by
the institution is thu. organization of
an extension department, also a COR
respondence department both OF
which are, in a ifiourishing condition
with constantly increasing membership
and prestige. s.
The department of extension work
was recently formulated with Prof.
Walter Barnes, head of the English
department Of the normal, as director
of this department. The scope Of the
department is far reaching and tends
to bring rural and other towns teach.
ers, who are unable to take the reg
ular normal course, into closer touch
with the state institutions OF learn-
ing and thus establish a bond Of re-
lationship between pupils and the
schools. Courses in various branches
are organized which meet each week
with one Of the normal faculty in
charge, and examinat tons are given
at the close Of the semesters, and tlie
pupils are given credits which count
in the normal schopf work the same
as though the pupils were enrolled
in the regular school courses. Teach
iers who are unable to attend the nor
NAL school are thereby given instruc-
ton along certain lines which they
could not obtain elsewhere and reg
ularly enrolled as pupils 6f the Fair
mont normal school.
Doing Good Work.
At this time four or five such classes
have been organized with good en-
irollment. Prof. J. e. Shreve Of the
department Of education has well les
tablished at Warrington a class OF
eleven pupils who are doing excellent
educational work. Prof. Barnes has
q class OF seventeen pupils in the city
which meet at the Miller school and
study literature. ~
also doing good work with the normal
teachers as directors in such branches
as history. English, languages. etc.
This work is far reaching and while
1t is OF great benefit to the teachers
of the county generally, 1t also estap-
fishes the prestige of the Fairmont
normal school sthrop ghout the country
and state. s 81

sssthe Holding of the Attorney
General of the State of.NeW
York lin Opinion.

q All11BANYs Nov. The state OF New
YORK is absolutely without any juris-'
isdictions over Indians living on. reser-
lions within it's borders, and al
thoueh for 1873 years 1t has assumed
70 degislate for. such Indians, It had
no such authority. Attorney General,
4 Woodbury held in an opinion. The
RED man living in his tribal. relation
upon "a reservation is only aipenable
10 the federal laws.
Mr. Woodbury. held that If the VAR
tious laws of the state were held ap-
plicable to Indians living in their trib-
al scondi ttons on reservations the tribal
Generalization would speedily be brok-
y en- up, and the United States supreme
court recently held that the power to
Terminate or break UP their tribal or
ganization would be speedily vested in
the federal government tlN s,sis.
State game protectors arrested Nell
son Hare and Wi1ford Kennedy, two
+ full FLOODED Indians, Of the Seneca
nation, for fishing with nets within
the limits Of the Cattaraugus reserva-
ton in Erie and Cattaraugus Counties
These arrests resulted in the opinion
being made after appeals had been
made. Z 4 a = E, 8
An exhaustive study of the federal
and state decisions dealing with the
tribal Indians convinced Attorney Gem
erals Woodbury. that the prisoners
should be discharged.
While the precise question before
Ethe attorney general was whether the
conservation law Of the state extended
tie tribal Indians for violations COM
mitted upon their reservations, the
!. reasoning which controlled the case
would prohibit the application Of any
state law to tribal Indians. .ys
The attorney general points out that
since the formation OF the union the
policy Of the federal government has
been TT permit tribal Indians to have
absolute Jurisdiction over their in
ternal and social affairs.
This policy" he says, continued
until 1871. when Congress enacted a
provision forbidding the making Of
treaties with Indians, and from that
time on the federal government has
controlled them by direct Mgtsla-i
tom
The opinion should not be confused
With the recent decision Of the court
s OF appeals, which sustained the con-
tention Of the attorney general that
tribal Indians are amenable to the
state conservation law for violations
committed OFF their, reservations, al
though upon lands coded to the state.
