The commanding gen­ eral says offenses of this kind* must Stop. This carelessness in dress and disci­ pline appears to have crept Into the . ' army at the time of the civil war. Up BMo that time the regulars were models of punctilious propriety. No European ^officers were more insistent in matters discipline and pipeclay than those pof our army before the '60s. The civil war called into the field vast bodies of ^untrained volunteers, who in time be­ came as efficient fighters as the regu­ lars, but who never acquired the per­ fection of drill or the rigid habit of ikeeping their uniforms in spotless • condition. These volunteer regiments, , With their splendid fighting and their . careless dressing, set an example whose ect upon the regulars remains no­ ble to the present day.--Ex. t C/aHt A^oi«u< Eight Hours.

He Is principal owner of the Antlers Ho­ tel. Recently he gave the city Austin Bluffs about 1,000 acres for park pur­ poses. He says he has retired from railroading and will probably invest his millions in building up Colorado Springs and in other public enter­ prises. He is yet in middle life.

"War has wrecked the Philippines and laid waste whole districts. The people in many districts have relapsed into barbarism. The best conditions prevail in northern Luzon.

The English engine, built In 1870, has run 4,000,000 miles and is still in service. The managers of the road to which It belongs are proud of this rec­ ord. In the United States a first-class passenger engine makes from 100,000 to 110,000 miles a year, and at the end of twenty years is supposed to be ready for the scrap heap. Seemingly, Amer­ icans are more extravagant than Brit­ ish railway managers, but the former do not think they are. They believe their policy is the more economical one. As soon as a locomotive is put in service in thiB country it is pushed as hard as is possible in doing profits able work on the assumption that by the time it has been driven to death there will be so many improvements In locomotives that It will be uneco-4 nomical to keep the old one in service even if It can be rebuilt. Thus when slaves were cheap a Cuban planter would reason that It was more eco­ nomic to work a slave to death and buy a new one than to exact less labor from a slave and thus have his ser­ vices for a longer time. In England an engine Is taken great care of. It is rested occasionally. Its life is pro­ longed as much as possible. Hence dt Is that an engine can be kepi in ser­ vice for thirty years. The men at the head of American railways contend that so old an engine must be an ex­ pensive one because it cannot do the cheaper work a modern engine Is capable of. The American policy is •Indicated by its results. Freight rates on American roads have gone down because of the fearless use of mechan­ ical improvements by their managers. Freight rates in England are high, and do not come down. One reason is that the managers of English roads hare false Ideas of economy. 4ng generally aided by the natives.

Thimm# Vp Paper Money. .-/A cranky old man in Minnesota has directed in his will that his adminis­ trators shall gather up all his cash in hank and burn it till nothing is left hut ashes. He wished to spite his heirs --a brother, sister, and nephew. His heirs do not wish to be spited, and they are going to fight the will. They are going to contend, among other tilings, that an administrator has noi more right to destroy money by fire than to destroy buildings or crops. There is a material difference. The burning up of buildings is a destruc­ tion of values. It„ takes something from the wealth of the community. When paper money is burned there is no destruction of values. There is merely the wiping out of certain evi­ dences of indebtedness, just as if prom­ issory notes instead of bank bills were thrown into the fire. If the adminis­ trator should be allowed to obey in­ structions, and should burn up $50,- 000 in United States currency of any kind--this is the amount in bank to the credit of the estate--then the United States Treasury would be $50,000 better off than before. Prac­ tically the national government would be the heir. If national bank notes were burnt up the banks whleh issued them would be the gainers. Therefore, if the will shall he sus­ tained It will be In the power of the forto "Rico'je Coffee 'Party. Coffee is not tea and Porto Rico is not Boston, but there is a faint simll- larity between the fuss which the Porto Ricans are making about the Im­ portation of Brazilian coffee and that the Bostonians made over the Impor­ tation of some cargoes of tea a little more than a century ago. The latter got rid of the objectionable tea by vio­ lent methods. The Porto Ricans have been able to get rid of some objection­ able cargoes of coffee without throw­ ing it overboard. Coffee-growing is a Porto Rico in­ dustry. When a number of bags of Brazilian coffee were shipped to the island recently great excitement en­ sued. The coffee can be sold for $7 a ton, while the home grown article brings from $10 to $12. It was feared that the former, If admitted, would undersell the latter and deprive Its growers of their home market Hence Indignation meetings were held at many places and it was resolved to boycott every merchant who should sell the Brazilian berry. .These threats were effective.
