N.W. ee SE a Wmv THINGS HEARD AND SEEN There is always more or less rivalry be- tween the army and navy, and probably there always will be. When men of either service can work off a joke at the expense of the other they never miss an opportun- ity. The navy officers are now telling one on the army. It was at Fort Monroe, where one of the vessels of the navy was, temporarily awaiting orders, that a delega- tion of army officers stationed at the fort came aboard. There is a set naval regula- tion that nothing can be so on board ship until the commanding officer orders it. While the ermy party were looking over the ship 12 o'clock arrived. A junior officer approached the captain and said, with a salute: “It is 12 o'clock, sir.” “Make it responded the captain; and eight bells were struck. The army officers Suspected that the navy men wanted them to ask some questions, and get sold, or that this was a Lit of foolery got up to joke the land warriors. Some time after a party of the army of- ficers invited the officers of the warship to dine with them. The dinner was progress- ing, when a lieutenant entered, and, salut- ing the senior officer present, said gravely: “Colonel, the major’s blind horse is dead.’ “Make it so,” responded the officer at the head of the table, with the greatest gravity, and the dinner proceeded. Nothing was said at the time, but the navy officers tell the story. ewile as This one is told by a navy officer on him- self: One of our handsome ships, with her handsome officers, was cruising in Peruvian waters, and while in port the grand ball given in honor of the wife of the president of the republic was given. The young officer was there in full uniform, which is warm enough at any time, but which in a bail room, after a number of whirls in a giddy waltz, such as the Spanish descendants in Peru put up, is anything but an ice cooler. Our young hero invited a charming Peruvian to waltz. She consented, and away they went, After several turns about the room he began to wish the young lady would sug- gest that they promenade, as m of the other couples did from time to time. But not she. On they went, spinning and prancing. The heavy uniform has become @ Sweat box. The young man was burning up. “Will she rever stop?” asked the | young officer under his breath, Early in the game he had exhausted the few Spanish phrases he knew. He did aot dare stop un- Ul she did, as such a breach of etiquette might mean that her brother would be like- ly to put a stiletto between his ribs for in- sulting his sister by stopping in a waltz before she did. The Peruvian waltz lasts twenty minutes. That is a long time in a tight-fitting uniform in a tropical climate. Our ensign began to wobble, but he kept his feet, end that girl never seemed to weary. When the twenty minutes had expired the ratisic ceased. Other couples had waltzed and stopped and waltzed again. Some of his brother officers had waltzed with half a dozen beautiful senoritas, and they were wondering why he was so devoted to the par- ticular one he was still hugging and whirl- ing when the music stopped. He led her tom a seat, and for himself sought the open air and unbuttoned his coat. He was in a pitiable plight. He did not enter the ball. room again for two hours, and when he did was still too weak to dance or enjoy the festivities. The young lady he had waltzed with avoided him. Other ladies, who had seen the long distancé record, seemed pleas- ed that he did not ask them to dance when presented. Later in the evening he learn- ed that it was the Peruvian custom for the gentieman to suggest that they should cease waltzing and promenade or retire from the floor. It would have been immod- est for his partner to have suggested stop- ping. The young officer says the memory of that Peruvian night haunts him still, aoe wee They were talking about the tariff, and some one was commending Representative Stevens of Massachusetts because he made no kick about the woolen schedule of the tariff bill. “Is Stevens a woolen manufacturer?” “One of the largest in the United States,” was the answer. “Well, with wool on the free list, he ought not to complain,” said the first speaker. ow he gets all of his wool free of duty. ‘My friend, let me tell you something,” said Mr. Stevens’ friend. “Wool enters into the manufacture of woolen goods to a very small extent. Woolen goods are composed largely of jute and fibers. This is not gen- erally known, but is a fact just the same.” Mr. Stevens will not be a candidate for re-election, and the democrats of Massa- chusetts think that a republican will be elected if any other man should run than Stevens. == @ % 2s It is along the line of the R.,F. and P.road that lies the sportsman’s paradise. Quantico, the nearest town to the recent express rob- bery, is quite a headquarters for Washing- tonians who are looking for ducks. Then as you go nearer Aquia creek, the scene of the bold hold-up, there is the station of Wide+ water. Here it is where Mr. Harrison when President came to shoot ducks. The Poto- mac is very wide at this place, hence the name of the town, or rather station, for there are not more than a half dozen houses in.sight. The shooting is excellent. There are innumerable little inlets and bays, with creeks, affording shelter for the ducks from the rougher water on the river. All the way to Aquia creek the houses are searce, and there is little to frighten away the game. Aquia creek is a navigable stream, and there is an old wharf near the drawbridge which was formerly used by boats for receiving shipments of goods, but hardly a vessel stops there now. It is true that some go through the drawbridge occasionally, but while once a considerable freight point, it is not ndW recognized as such, The freights that were formerly car- ried by the boats find a speedy outlet by rail. The drawbridge furnishes the neces- sary stop for hunters who are looking for ducks in this vicinity, and many a man comes here for game and drops off the pas- senger trains that stop for the drawbridge. The same stop enabled the robbers to board the night express from the south when they made such a successful raid. It is a very lonely spot, and one well chosen for a raid of the kind that was made. ra ea Frank Jones, assistant postmaster general, can tell a very good story when he is so dis- posed. A republican was in his office the other day, giving him a very discouraging outlook of the situation In New York. “I know a story that fits your case,” he said. “One year we were having quite a warm po- litical contest in Illinois and everybody was doing his best. We had a meeting in a lit- tle town in one county, where we were rather short of speakers. Everybody was called on to say something, and finally a man that none of us ever heard of before was called for by some one in the back part of the hall. He came forward and talked for five minutes, during which time he made the eagle soar. We congratulated ourselves and said we had found a gem, and nothing must do but that he should be the principal speaker at a big county seat meeting the following night. The arrangements were made and the meeting held. We had out a big crowd, and everybody waited long past the usual ‘time, but our spellbinder did not appear. Finally he put in an appearance, but I could see at once that he was full of bug juice, He mounted the platform and began to talk. Of all the stuff you ever heard his was the worst. “It was getting awful. Republicans who had come ‘n began to snicker. But the man who exists everywhere to pull the demo- cratic party out of a bad hole came to our rescue. H3 sent out and had all the bells in the taverns ring out wild peals, the sig- nal for a fire. Of course we all took ad- vantage of it and in a little while the hall ‘was empty, save a very few. Among them was an old lady, loyal to the democratic party for years and years. She turned round and looked at the few stragglers in the back of the hall and said: ‘I don't be- Heve there is any fire. This is a nasty re- publican, trick to break up the democratic party.’ That,” said Gen. Jones, what you are trying to '< now." ihe Capt. Dwyer oe New Mexico is an old- timer in that territory, and a consistent republican. He has long been a friend of Gen. Armstrong, commissioner of Indian af- fal Some time ago he wrote to the gen- eral on business, and modestly asked for an office. “If you are in need of a non-parti- san commisston of any kind," wrote Capt. Dwyer, “and want a good republican, please remember that I am available. I am sure that Delegate Josephs will speak a good word for me, as he has my scalp in his belt along with a number of others.” Capt. Dwyer ran against Mr. Josephs several years ago, and was defeated by a large ma- jority. oc A bill in equity has been filed by Clark 8. Robeson against the Washington and Chesa- peake Beach Railway Company to satisfy a_judgmert creditor's bill amounting to 7 IN HOTEL “CORRI DORS oe “I always like to ruminate over my ex- periences as a postmaster whenever I see some one else appointed to a similar posi- tion, and read what the papers and the peo- ple say when the news is announced,” said an old western gentleman, who is now re- tired from both politigs and business, and spends his time as itybest pleases him, at the Riggs House todgy{ “1 sympathize with such nominees, and when I saw the name of Mr, Willett stated for the post office of this city, and seanned all the nice things that were said al aie him, I sympathized with him. When made postmaster of I won't say where; I Yemember that there was a general public expression of satisfac- tion and universal confidence that 1 would fill the office in the most creditable manner pessibly, I felt mighty good. It was pleasant to see in print the warm encomiums of men L scarcely knew, as well as the exaggerated corpliments my intimates jioyally paid me. My family was pleased, and the papers kindly gave mé¢ editorial praise and express- ed pleasure in assuring the public that I would make a model postmaster. Civil ser- vice reform had not yet extended its just protection over post offices, but I was an ardent believer in business methods, which are primarily the real principles of the idea so far as the employes of an establishment are concerned. I had always recognized the merit of my clerks and other help in my own establishment, and I concluded to do what was best for the government and what would aid me most in the proper ad- ministraiion of. the office in my new position when it came to the employes. I knew my own city well and whs aware that my pre- decessor in the office had an excellent force, the members cf which had been appointed for political reasons, it is true, but who had learned so well the work of the office that they were well nigh invaluable. ‘They were neurly every one against me politically, too. Well, I was sworn in and my office was be- set by my friends, both personal and party. They all had friends to whom they had promised places. To make a long. story stort I found the old employes were abso- lutely necessary to “the proper conduct of the office, and another set of men would have to be trained up if I discharged them. { kept the old force. Before six months had pessed I was feviled by party associates and slighted by my personal friends, just because I was a business man and preferred to run a public office tna’ business way. I was a candidate for reappointment at the end of my first term, but was snowed under as deep as if an avalanche had struck me.” “The prevailing sn.allpox scare and clamor for the isolation of persons suap- posed to have come in contact with th Jis- ease reminds me of a quarantine experience T once had in Hawaii,” said A, R. Simp- son, a Tacoma newspaper man, at the Eb- bitt House last night. “Our steamer had a dirty, foggy voyage for the first four days out from San Francisco, and the weather kept everybody under cover. On the fifth day the sun came out, and we were all on deck enjoying it, When a steerage passen- ger climbed up to the part of the vessel allotted to such travelers and sat down weakly on a pile of rope. There was an eruption all over the exposed portions of his body, and the ship's doctor was sum- moned. Arter an examination he made the pleasing announcement that the man was in possession of & ‘virulent case of con- fluent smallpox. Of course, there was no vaccine matter on board,’ and you may imagine the panic that ensued. Well, we reached Honolulu, and the authorities there decided that every soul aboard the boat must be quarantineg for twenty-one days.

At the Ponce de Leon in St. Augustine last winter I met a young woman from away up in the frozen north. She was one of these superior girls who went to the roots of things and her learning was really something wonderful. She invariably wore a queer-looking locket at her neck and one day Ut asked her why she Kept on such an incongruous thing when dressed in evening costume. She coolly told me that it contained a charm that had preserved her from impending danger a number of times and recited sev- eral hairbreadth escapes she has made. Upon my inquiring what the charm was she told me it was an African mooka stone that her grandfather, who was a sea- faring man, had brought home from one of his voyages, and that it had exerted a protecting influence on her mother’s life, as it had on her own. That woman wa one of the few realiy thoroughly educated women I have ever known, and yet she firmly believed In the supernatural prop- erties of that pebble she wore in a locket around her neck. There are hundreds of men all over the country, college men, too, who would as soon leave their collars and cravats at home as to go out without a rabbit foot in their pockets, and who will not talk over a business proposition with- out touchisg their precious talismans, And speaking of rabbits’ feet 1 have been cred- ibly informed that the great Henry Irving once changed the bill from ‘Hamlet’ to ‘The Bells’ because the rabbit foot he has al- ways used in making up for the part of the melancholy Dane was mislaid, and he felt a presentiment that something dread- ful would happen to him if he used any- thing else to give the proper lines to his stage complexion. I'll bet there are a dozen otherwise sensible men in this hotel this minute who would wear their stockings in- side out all day if they accidentally hap- pened to get them on that way in the morning. The more I look into the inter- esting matter the more I discover to prove that superstition is as strong among the educated as it is among the ignorant.” “A gentlemaa Was. telling a party of us about the way visijors are entertained down at Nassau,j sgid A.

The socialists violently protested that the con- scription could not be enforced in the case of a deputy. Fina'ly a motion to support the government was adopted by a vote of B07 to 215. Judge Doherty at Montreal dismissed the Canada Revue case yesterday, The Revue began a series of severe attacks on the Ro- man Catholic Church. Archbishop Fabre put the publication under the ban of the church, and the Revue sued the bishop for $50,000, The judge dismisses the case on the ground that the archbishop acted within the- bounds of bis authority and without malice, ano because it did not interfere with the plaintiff's right of selling the pa- per to whomsoever wanted to read it. As a result of the cabinet council at Madrid, Spain, yesterday the ministers have tendered their resignations. It is thought that the crisis was partly precipitated by colonial questions. The government re- cently arranged with the Bank of Spain for an Advance of 10,000,000 pesetas in Spanish silver dollars tc replace the Mexican dol- ars in the Porto Rico fompany. This pro- ject was strenuously’ opposed by Senor Maura, the colonial minister, put his col- leagues persisted in carryimg out the ar- rangement, and Senor Maura resigned.
