e Shixteenth IN BATTLE THEX ARE LIOS. But in Peace the Soldiers of the Platte Are a3 Lambs, AT ARMY POSTS. THE AMBULANCE New Cadets Assigned to the Regi- 1ts of This Department wit Interesting Facts for Several Posts. Tho order recently issued by tho war de partment regarding the allowanco of draft and pack animals to departments will bo a subject of discussion foe some time ut the various army posts. It directs that the num ber of animals allowed shall not excced : Cal- ifornia, 170; Columbia, #0; Toxas, 825 Mis- sourd, 570; Arizoms, 700; Dakota, 800, and Platte, 930, In the east, the allowance will be four animals for each post garrisoned by one company und two additional animals for every other company at the post his order is the result of amending para. graphs 1,174 and 1,175 of the rogulations. [t provides that the allowance of spring wagons of all kinds, exclusive of the ambulance pre scribed for the sick, shall be at the rate of oue to each military post except when other wise allowed by the war department. All four-whecled passenger wigons excepting, of course, ambulances,with sprines or thorough braces, are, in the meaning of this parairaph, considered spring wagons The latter are, hereafter, to bo used only under the direction of the commanding officer and for the purposes for weich they were supplied, mainly the trans. portation of paymdsters, inspectors and other officers traveling on duty, when other means of truveling are not avariable. This order will compel many officers who now ride from their posts to the adjoining towns to _either employ private vehicles, go on foot or uso their mount. This of course will bo a source of inconvenience, requi the animal used 10 ve cared for while in town It wili work especial hardship to the ladie of o families, especially wher street cars connect the post with the town. The wacons at the several posts through- out the department. of the Platte rendoered superfluous by this order number about twenty-five. Colonel Hughes, chief quarter master, has written to all the posts to ascer- tain_definitely the number aud will huve word in a fow days. Tho vehicles will ifo rounded up, 50 to speak, und auctioned Some ofticers claim that the order will not be of lasting effect. It simply roprosents the 1dea of a new officiol to muke achange which he thinks may be more in harmony with the regulations and with vi of economy. neral nt, they say, once took the notion that there were too many spring wagons in use 1n the servicoand mado a similar swecp reduction. Since his time, however, successive administrations have allowed & return of the vohicles with the result referred to The order also refers to the spirit of tho actof March 11, 156+ which provides that auy officer who shall use an ambulance or re- quire it to be used forany other purpose than as proviaed, shall, for the first offence, bo publicly reprimanded by the commander of the army corps in which he may be serving, and for The second offence shall bo dismissed from tao service. The animals rendered operation of this order are to bo transferred to other points or sold by public wuction on or beforc August 31. Chief quartermasters of departuients are to report the result of tho order and aepartment commanders are (o see that it is duly exceuted. superfluous by the Cadets for th latte The following named cadets have been o signed to regiments which in wholo or part are located in the department of the Slatto, with the rank of second lieutenant. ded 1s also giv the location of the s to which they are assigned : cond infantry, A company, Fort Omaha, un L.

The orainary theater had out little more than four walls and rows of hard wood benches to 10vito the patronage of a luxury ceking public. An orchestra of a hoe-down flddle and u lady piano player was a dream of delight. And of the latter the old mining camp ivjunction might have usually well been called 1nto servic: “Don’t shoot at the piano player; sho is doing the best sho can.” New York was the recognized and tho sul- tanic despot and arbiter of amusements. A wanager would not think of spending any money ou a production which he did not first submit to the hypocritical verdict of a New York audience. If by some of those means be: janagors his pieco mado a hit was immediately inundatod with an ocean tood of Now York's criticism.

This is the bare out- line of the story, but through it runs sevies of plots and counter-piots. kich and Harris have brought to Thatchor's assistance a number of exceptionally clever people.
