Enlikted Men Eligible to Promotion to Commissions After Two Years —West Pointers Are Obliged to Serve Four Years. Adjt. Gen. Corbin, according to a New York Tribune special from Wash- ington, has started,a movement to induce congress to remove from the statute books a law that makes an unjust discrimination against West Pointers in the army. It is almost inexplicable, the adjutant says, that such legislation should ever have been enacted or have remained in force for 12 years as that which favors the promotion of enlisted men to commissions above the young men specially educated at government ex- pense to fill commands. In his current annual report Gen. Corbin devotes considerable space to the act of June 18 1878, which pro- vided for the promotion to the grade of commissioned officer of meritorious non-commissioned officers who shall be found morally, intellectually and physically qualified for promotion, and the act of July 30, 1892, which ex- tends to all unmarried soldiers under 20 years and possessing the requisite qualifications the privilege of compet- ing at prescribed examinations »for commissions. . That the law operated well in at- tracting to the ranks a superior class of intelligent young men was demon- strated by the yearly increasing num- ber who obtained admission into the commissioned branch of the army. There were six in 1893, and 68 in 1900. These men were compelled to serve in the ranks only two years under the law, and, calling attention to this fact, Gen. Corbin says: “Experience has shown that two years is too brief a period in which enlisted men can fit themselves for the important duties of commissioned officers. It is only little less than travesty to say that a man can qualify as an officer by serving as an enlisted man in one- half the time required for a cadet to complete his course at West Point. Jt is recommended that the law be amended to read four years instead of two. This will put appointments from the ranks and the military academy on the same footing.” XAISER HAS A NEW BARBER. Dismisses His Former Attendant Beeause of Undue Fa- miliarity. Emperor~ William's barber, Francois Haby, the inventor of his majesty’s style of mustache, recently ventured to remark: “What does your majesty think of China?” This so ruffled the emperor’s tem- per that, taking Haby by the ear, he corted the barber from his cham- ber. The incident has been laughed at throughout Berlin. Apparently Francois Haby has re- turned to grace only to be again cast down, for it was announced May 10 last that it was frequently remarked during the then recent festivities that his majesty’s mustache was no longer “turned upwaré so fiercely as formerly, but worn at an gngle of 45 degrees only, with the ends no longer spreading out proudly.” It was added that it was a fact that the emperor had abandoned his former fashion of wearing his mustache, al- though all male Germany adhered to it, one reason being the dismissal of Heby, who had “become impudent and had presumed to trade upon his alleged: friendly relations with the emperor.” PLAN TO REMOVE THE MAINE. Cbjections Made te the Use of'Dyna- mite—Coffer Dam to Be Built, Captain of the Port Young has asked the government to refuse any and all proposals looking to the removal of the wreck of the United States battleship Maine by explosives. Last year three firms offered to remove the hull of the battleship in return for the material, but there has always been a strong ob- jection to the use of dynamite, because of the probability that there are por- tions of bodies still in the wreck, and the authorities shrink from the idea of desecration. A scheme has been submitted involy- ing the construction of a coffer dam, the pumping out of the water and taking of the wreck apart in pieces; and work on this line will probably be- gin next month. An Alpins Garden, At Schachensee, in the Bavarian Alps, at an elevation of 1,500 meters, an Alpine garden has been laid out and planted by a foreman of the Munich Botanical garden. The plan and out- line of the work were furnished by Prof. Gobel. The land is the property of the crown. It is ir.tended next year to build a blockhquse and furnish it with the necessary comforts for the use of scientific visitors. Alpine gar- dens already exist near Innsbrueck, in the Dauphiny, in Italy, and on the Maritime Alps. This Bavarian garden will be the means of rescuing the finest Alpine plants from destruction, Canning Meat in China. Just before the outbreak of the present troubles a canning factory was established at Chin-Kiang, the intention being to supply European markets with tinned meats, more es- pecially game and wild fowl. The sup- ply of wild fowl, at a ridiculously small price, is practically unlimited in that part of the celestial empire. f .

Vanderbilt, Jr., had a marrow escape from serious injury the other afternoon in a collision with a fish wagon. He was making his way west through Fifty-first stret, bound for a spin up the road. He had just reached Fifth avenue when a strong gust of wind swept up the street, and, catching the light locomobile, almost lifted it off its wheels. At this moment John Lullman, of 102 East Eighty-second street, drove down the avenue in a fish wagon. Mr. Vanderbilt struggled to get his locomobile clear of the wagon, but he could not manage it, and he ran into the horse, sending the animal to the pavement. The locomobile was instantly stopped and Mr. Vanderbilt quickly jumped out. “I am sorry,” he said, apolegetical- ly to the driver. “It was my fault. Here is my card. If you want an- other horse call at my house and I'll get one for you.” Lullman at first was inclined to say unpleasant things, but when he read the name on the card a look of blank astonishment spread over his coun- tenance. “That’s all right, Mr. Vanderbilt,” he stammered. “I don’t think the nag’s much hurt. Just a little bit scraped on the legs. But I'll tell the boss. He knows you're good for a horse, I guess.” MW’KINLEY TO GET BIG TURKEY Rhode Island Man Scouring State for Bird for President’s Thanks- giving Day Dinner, For a number of years the table of the president of the United States has been annually graced Thanksgiving day by a big Rhode Island turkey. Some- where in the southern part of the commonwealth there is to-day a hand- some specimen of this famous breed of bird strutting about the farmyard in the pride of its 35 pounds which a few days before the national holiday will be decapitated, carefully dressed, and dis- patched to the white house for Presi- dent McKinley’s dinner. The late Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, sent the first Rhode Island tur- key to a president, and after his death the late Senator Nathan F. Nixon con- tinued the custom. Since Senator Dix- on’s death Horace Vose has annually sent to the white house at Thanksgiv- ing the handsomest bird of the species he could find within the borders of the state. The biggest one ever presented to a president was given to President Grant. It tipped the scales at 33 pounds, PLANS “IDEAL”? NEWSPAPER. Parkhurst Behind Movement to Ea- tablish a Paper That Can Afford to Tell the Truth, Dr. Parkhurst declares that men of riches have under consideration the es- tablishment in New York city of “an ideal” newspaper. He declares that an endowed theater is also a possibility for New York. “At the present time,” he is quoted as saying, “there are those who are anxiously considering the mat- ter of establishing a journal for the pur- pose of telling the truth and sufficiently capitalizing it so that it will have no trouble in telling the truth. In acer- tain respect the newspapers are like | our theaters. It has come to be a fact in the city of New York—I have it from those who are constant attendants at the theaters—that a theater, asa rule, cannot be made to pay unless there is more or less of that in it which is objec- tionable. The only way in which a first-class theater can be maintained is by its being endowed. Now the same words apply to the average newspaper. The papers now are run on a business plan. They are not leading the public, Some papers are run for political ends, because with them politics is going to put money into the till.” WILL REVOLUTIONIZE LONDON, Plans Network of Suburban Electric Lines with Groups of Low- Rent Houses. Charles Yerkes’ plan of a compre- hensive system of underground rail- ways in London is the first deliberate effort to grapple with the housing pro- gramme of the English metropolis, and if he can succeed in his dream he will ! revolutionize the life of London and earn the undying gratitude of British workmen. - His idea is to have a complete ne work of lines radiating north, south, east and west to considerable distances from the heart of the metropolis, and then to have workinen’s cottages built in healthy districts served by railways. This is a tremendous scheme, but Mr. Yerkes is also said to be interested in a scheme for cutting a ship canal from Southampton to London, a distance of just 80 miles. German Owners of Forest. The royal Prussian family is the largest owner of forest tracts in Ger- many. Its property consists of not less than 186,200 acres. The southern branch of the Hohenzollerns owns a tract of 136,000 acres. The prince of Stolberg-Wernigerode owns — forest covering 119,000 acres. The timber lands of the prince of Pless comprise 104,000 acres. Alllowing for Superstitious Fear.
