French Army Offcer in Official State- ment Declares Suicide Is De- certion and a Crime. A curious order of the day has been | issued by Col. Clamorgan, of the Sec- ond* regiment of marines, says the Paris correspondent of the New York Herald. It runs as foilaws: “A soldier of the regiment commit- ted suicide sonte days ago at Ker- huon. A sergeant committed suicide this morning in barracks, “Tt is better that their names should are a source of profound regret, as “Suicide for a soldier is desertion. It is flight toward a country from which nobody returns. “Suicide is a crime, It is the aban- donment of one’s post and flight be- fore the enemy. “For this reason it is a painful but are not rendered to a suicide. “A soldier who believes in God and who loves his country would have no temptation to commit suicide. Let us therefore be true believers and patri- ots in order that a noble hope may sustain us during life, “and that all of us, sous of France and soldiers first of all, may know how to keep our blood tor the defense of the father- land.” BRITISH BOOKKEEPING BAD. Some English Roads Found to Be Paying Dividends They Do Not Earn. English investors have luck with American railways that they think a good while nowadays before making any purchase over sea. They have sold a very large part of their American railway holdings for prices far below what they paid for them, They don’t speak in the kindliest terms of the methods of finance followed by American boards of directors. ‘These English investors who have been so badly bitten by their Ameri- can investments have pointed scorn- fully to the Yankee system of railway bookkeeping and contrasied it with the conservative, straightforward methods of English railway manage- | ment, but a new light has been thrown on the English railway bookkeeping by some probing of their half-yearly re- turns. The gist of the matteris the railways stand no higher in England than in America. English railways are now paying dividends they don’t earn, while ; American railways are earning divi- dends they don’t pay. English direct- ors are drawing upon the future, while Americans are paying up for the past.

In all other re That Selected by the Army to Be’ Put to Further Test. Volunteers from Cavalry in Okla- . homa Will Try Campaigning on Concentrated Food — Pur- | pose of the Experiment, Two officers of the United States army, Capt. Fountain, of the Eighth | cavalry, and Capt. Foster, of the Fifth | cavalry, have gone to New York to | make final arangements for a supply of “emergency rations.” About a year ago a board of officers, consisting of Col. Dempsey and Capts. Fountain and Foster, was convened for the pur | pose of inquiring into and deciding up- on a.ration for enlisted men which can be used in an emergency. Manufac- turers of food products in all parts of the country were invited to submit samples of concentrated foods whicb could be used for such purposes. All samples submitted were subject: ed to rigid teSts. The desideratum aimed at was, in brief, a minimum of Space combined with a maximum of sustaining qualities. After months of experiment it was finally decided that a preparation of parched wheat com- evaporated animal feod would sustain life best with the least possible loss of weight and energy. To this combina- tion was added a cake of sweetened chocolate, and the whole ration, suffi- | cient for one day, was inclosed in a her metically sealed receptacle. The officers of the board tested the value of the ration by living upon it themselves for several consecutive EMERGENCY RATION, | “85327 © “EARTH'S CARES.” RET | and the face of a stranger replied to my |‘ days. Now they have been ordered to continue the tests. With this end in view they proceed at once to Oklahoma, where there are two troops of cavalry. It is the purpose of Capts. Fountain and Foster—Col. Dempsey has been de- tached from the board—to invite vol- unteers from these cavalry troops to accompany them for a week, ten days, or two weeks, for the purpose of test- ing the value of this new ration. If it is found that the men can live upon it without great loss of weight or energy, it will be adopted by the de- partment. It is not the purpose, how- ever, to substitute this ration for the regular food supply of the American | soldier. But men in service will be sup- plied with two, three, five, or more of | these rations when on special service. ‘They will be allowed to use them only when it is found impossible to secure other focd. In other words, it is an “emergency” ration, and severe punish- ment will be meted out to the soldier who uses it except in cases of extreme emergency. EXPORTS OF AMERICAN COAL. During 1900 They Aze Likely toReach the $20,000,000 Mark, Against $10,000,000 in 1896. Exports of coal from the United | States during 1900 are likely to reach $20,000,000, against $10,000,000 in 1896 | and $6,000,000 in 1890. Figures of the bureau of statisties show the exports of coal during the seven months end- ing with July last are 50 per cent. in excess ef those of last year and double those of 1898. In the seven months ending with July, 1898, the exports of coal were 2,875,451 tons; in 1899 they were 3,006,082 tons, and in 1900 4,601,755 tons. i During the period from 1890 to 1900 the exportation of coal has quad- rupled, but the principal growth has | been in the years 1898, 1899 and 1900. While this growth is perceptible in the exports to all parts of the world, it is especially marked with reference to the American countries. To British North America the ex- ports of 1898 were 1,783,398 tons and in 1900 3,253,803 tons. To Mexico in 1898, 243,938 tons; in 1900, 415,834 tons. To Cuba the exports have more than doubled. In 1898 they were 114,655 tons and in 1900 241,712 tons, while to Porto Rico they increased from 2,€21 tons in 1898 to 15,313 tons in 1900. To the Hawaiian islands’ the exports of 1899 were 10,381 tons and in 1900 21,001 tons, thus more than doubling in a single year. To the Philippine islands the exports of 1898 were 4,810 tons, while in 1900 they were 41,068 tons. GOULDS SAVE BONI’S HOME. Count de Castellane’s Pressing Cred- itors Snid to Have Been Paid by His Wife’s Family. 1t is now known why the sale of Count Castellane’s castie was coun- termanded. Countess Anna, though failing to sway her brothers, and es- pecially her sister Helen, and cbtain money for Count Boni on their last trip to New York for that. purpose some months ago, decided to make a last appeal, and her distress was so pitiful that Edwin Gould was touched and he finally prevailed upon George. The brothers then sent for Count Boni, and after imposing upon him some rather severe conditions put up enough money to pay the main cred- Some well-informed friends allege desirous the Gould family was to pre- hammer, took advantage of the situ- ation and refused to accept any help unless his whole debts were wiped out, The same people further affirm that George Gould refused to trust the money in the count’s hands and paid | the creditors himself, the sum thus | advanced aggregating 8,000,000 francs ! {about $1,600,000).
