THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1898-16 PAGES. GEN. a STANTON'S REPORT Work Performed by the Pay Corps of the Amny. incrense in the Force is Earnestly Recommended — Large Sums Han- died Without Loss Daring War. The annual report of Gem T. H. Stanton, )eymester general of the army, made pub- tic today. comtains: a mass: of- interesting. information in connection with the >xpenses of the Spanish war. July 1, 1897, officers of the pay d:partment were charged with public funds aggregating $595,884. During the fiscal year 1898 these officers received from the Unitsd States treasury and other sources additional sums of money which swelled the total balances and receipts to 323,499,060. Of this vast sum, $14,632,569 was expended on account of pay of the srmy; $1,519,150 om account of pay of vol- nteers, 341 was expended on account of volunteers, an@ other sums on various military accounts. The balance charged against the pay officers July 1, 189%, was 55090071 A comparison of the expenditures of the last fiseal year with those of the preceding sear shows a net increase of $2,326,804.11. This inerease is accounted for by the fact that by act of March §, 1898, two additional regiments were added to the strength of the army. Again, under act of April 22, 1898, the regular army was, by order of the Pres- dent. recruited to its maximum strength, making about 61,000 men. Under act of April 22, 1898, the President April 1898, called for the enlistment of 13.000 volunteers, following the same May 180s. with an additional call for 75,000 nts of immunes, three regiments of 7® and a signal corps, thus providing an army of over 280,000 regulars and volunteers. ‘To mest the payment of this extraordinary force estimates were prepared and submil- ted to Congress and hberal appropriations vere made for payment. During the year soldiers made 21,856 de- posits aggregating $613 a decided in- ‘ase over the record of previous years. ‘The fact of this increase, the paymaster general says, evidences a growing interest sion made by the government ist the enlisted men in saving their srnings and reflects much credit upon the s* of men now In the army. The question of mileage, General Stanton says, has been quite satisfactorily and «quitably settled by the allowance of 7 cents per mile for transportation, and much tabor and expense saved by this fixed al- lowance. During the past year all payments to the srmy have been made monthly. Previous to the declaration of war these payments were made by check or in currency by ex- press. After the organization of the volun- tcer force it was not found practicable to vay by the above mentioned method, co: ently ail of the forces in the field have by the paymasters in person. icrease in the army necessitated an > in the force of the pay corps to department to make prompt therefore, the President, June increased the corps by seventy-two ad- ditional paymasters.

General Matters The Metropolitan Life Insurance Corm- pany has not yet received any tidings from Thos. L. Callis, the assistant superintend- ent of the local office, who mysteriously disappeared over a week ago. Lieutenant H. F. Winn of Washington has been ap- pointed to fill the missing man’s position. Mr. E. Stewart Smith and Miss Leu Chauncey of this city were married yester- day evening at the residence of the bride’s father on South Fairfax street, Rev. N. B. Masters of Trinity Church officiating. Af- ter the ceremony a reception was tenderél subsequent to which Mr. and Mrs. Smith left on the Norfolk steamer for a bridal tour. Their future home will be in this city. Several hundred people gathered on Col- Toss grounds yesterday afternoon to wit- ness a foot ball match between the Ath- letic eleven, a colored team of this city, and the Olympic Club, a colored organiza- tion of Washington. The teams were well matched and a stubbornly contested game resulted, in which neither side scored. The game was, however, given to the Athletics by a decision of the referee. A Thanksgiving hop was given last night at Schuler’s Hall, on Upper King street, by the Alexandria and Washington Socials. ‘The room was brilliantly lighted and pret- tily decorated under the direction of Miss Chevally. The Marine Band Orchestra from Washington furnished the music. A large number of guests were present from Washingion, and a special train left at an early morning hour to carry them home. The Infirmary is reported to have its wards full of patients. The male ward has about as many as can comfortably be ac- commodated. The Thanksgiving donations for this institution were quite lberal. Engineer W. H. Wood cf the Columbia fire engine skillfully succeeded last week in putting an engine, on which all previous attempts had failed, into excellsat running condition. SANT Beruart Sha Herbert w. In Two Volus Stone & Company. Mr. Shaw's place in dramatic literature ts somewhat uncertain because of his uncom- promising indifference to the present tradi- tions of the stage. His work is distinctly satirical and on a high plane of purpose and finisa, but it does not appeal to the general average of theatergoers. Yet the two works from his pen which have been produced here. “Arms and the Man” and “The Devil's Deputy,” have had a certain vogue which may in part have been attrib- utable to the prestige of their interpreter.

Puteam's Sons. Wm. Rillactyne & Sons. Prof. Sears believes that the best eriti- cism promotes good literature, of which it is itself one of the highest forms. Actu- ated by this conception of the function of the critic he discusses his subject from the point of view of its constructive rather than its destructive capacity. In this wholesome spirit he divides his work into such topics as “General Features of Criti- .” “Common Forms,” “Higher Meth- “Values” and “The Critic.” He 8 how criticism has arisen from the low plane which it occupied in what he calls the “heroic age of criticism.” when men and their works were written down from the most sordid motives, as, for in- stance, when one of Goldsmith's publishers caused a hired scribbler to condemn one of the poet's works because Goldsmith had failed to pay a tailors bill for which the publisher was surety.

Company The purpose of this work, as outlined in the author's preface, is to tell the story of our politics, to explain their nature and in- terpret their characteristics. Questions of public poticy or of party Issues are referred to only as they have affected the formation of pohtical structure; but as their influence has been continuous, the work presents a view of American political history from colonia! times to the present day. The au- thor holds the view that our political fac- tors do not become intelligible until they are viewed as an off-shoot from English politics, and the growth of the variety is studied with regard to the characteristics of the stock. The work is scholarly, show- ing evidences of careful research. It is written in a clear and concise style and holds the attention of the student of politi- eal economy throughout. It is more in the nature of an explanation of causes than a narrative of events, giving thereby an un. derstanding of the actual system of govern- ment under which we exist. RED PATRIOTS; The Story of the Seminoles. By Charles H. Coe. Cincinnatl: The Editor Pub- lishing Con pany. The author, who has resided in Washing- ton for some years in an historical pursuit of his favorite subject, the North American Indian, makes an earnest plea for the Flor- ida Seminoles, last remnants of the once noble tribe, headed in comparatively recent years by the chief Osceola. Mr. Coe has closely studied the story and the present condition of this vestige of the tribe, and he believes that their best interests will be advanced by permitting them to remain where they are now quartered instead of removing them, as is proposed, to another reservation in Fiorida, or perhaps to the ludian Territory. He deseribes the customs of the Seminoies, and traces their history Adding fuel plicated again. man can wish to wear. overcoat—or one of each you can. than the cloth costs alone. 2 lots men’s bike suits.

IN THE CAGE. By Henry James. Chicago: bert S$. Stone & Company. With infinite—and at times tlresome—de- tail of analysis, Mr. James tells here a tragedy in a minor key. It {s the story of @ young woman who, “in the cage” of a London branch postal and telegraph office, sees society through its: foibles, follies and scandals committed to the wire, and forms a romantic attachment for a member of the smart set. He is deep in intrigue, and the girl develops a lofty resolve to help him in his danger. It is a close study in view-points. The story is all told from that of the girl. The tragedy in her life is the more pathetic because of the proha- bility that her ideal is unworthy, and, fur- thermore, that he is not in the least con- cerned about her. It is an interesting sug-1 gestion of how far desire will carry the imagination. TATTLE-TALES OF CUPID. Told by Paul Lelces- TATer Fork New York: Dodd, Mead & Company. Paul Leicester Ford is rapidly acquiring rank as one of the foremost young writers in America. His literary industry is mar- velous. From ‘The Honorable Peter Sterl- ing” and “The Story of An Untold Love” he has lately produced “The True George Washington,” meanwhile turning out con- siderable short matter of the true Ford flavor. The present volume contains four stories and two plays, scintillating with clever situations and dialogue. “The Cor- telyou Feud” is particularly typical of Mr. Ford's abiiity to create a difficult relation- ship and give it an atmosphere of reality and a distinct charm. The two plays, ‘“The Best Laid Plans” and “Man Proposes,” are delightfully absurd, Her- THE SPHERE OF SCIENCE; A Study of the Na- Investigation. D., professor of bor tare and Method “of Belentinc By mgent Hoffman, Ph. Philos in Union College, Much has been attempted of late years in the name of sclence which has not mer- ited that distinction,.erd it is well that such a volume as the present should have appeared to define in cogent terms the ele- nents which constitute a “science” and to set forth fhe grounds upon which every science rests. It is maintained that every department of human knowledge is capable of scientific treatment. The work is mainly written without recourse to technical ex- pressions, and is thus more satisfactory in e aver- its appeal to the understanding of th age reader, cle of Reconstrnetion.

From the Boston Herald. ‘The time table in use on the Newfound- land railroad is a unique affair, nothing ike it ever before having been seen. The material is a cheap quality of foolscap writing paper, and the reading matter a product of the typewriter. It requires two of these sheets, which are pasted in a strip to give the list of stations, the time of the arrival and departure of trains, of which ew a stopping places, for it is found that one may disembark at either of the nautical towns of Topsail or Gaff Topsail, or he may continue to the temperance village of Hodge Water. If mirthfully inclined, Tickle Harbor is recommended Come-by- Chance might be a suitable Place for @ person who is bound for nowhere in pare ticular, but the tender ones are warned against Northern Bight. Summer bathing in St. Patrick's Brook can be indulged in without fear of the disturbing presence of tcads or snakes. There is said to be a great. rivalry between St. Patrick's Brook and Kitty’s Brook, twenty-eight miles be- yond, on the questicn of which is the bet- ter place to take a dip. People stopping in the picturesque town of Howley are not kept awake nights by the noise on the street. The residents are exceptionally quiet, and it is difficult to understand why they submit to a name that creates an op- pcsite impression. A few irreverent Strangers who for the first time visit the place are inclined to cry out “Howley Moses.” The Newfoundland railroad is 548 miles lcrg, and a r leaving St. John's at 5 in the afternoon is due to arrive at Fort-au-Basque, the westerly terminus, at 9 the next evening, or in twenty-eight hours. This is at an average speed of sixteen miles per hour, which gives the tourist all the time he needs for sketching and studying the numerous charming scenes along the line. Those who have made the run say there is no sense of fa- tigue, as the mind ts fully occupied in contemplating the ever-changing panoramto stretches of hill and vale, tumbling moun- tain streams and placid lakes, primeval forests and quaint settlements. Last sum- mer fully 100 Boston tourists went over the road from end to end, and the coming summer will see this number quadrupled. nay aie ena aa ‘The most active volcano in the world is Mount Sangay, 17,190 f2et high, situated on the eastern chain of the Andes, South America.
