OEHLSCHLAEGER & WALKER DRUGGISTS Fifth and:Broadway. OUR ARMY’S GREAT NEED Is For a General Staff That Has the Direct Responsibility of Organization in All Departments. Also the Regular Army Should Consist of More Men and Be Formed on a More Mod- ern Basis, Washington, Sept. 8.—Cbairman Hail, of the house committee on mil- itary affairs, is devoting much of his time during the recess of congress to studying the military needs of the country and the problems of army increase and reorganization which must be met, and as soon as congress meets he and his assoeiates on the committee will take up the task of preparing a bill which will put the army more nearly on the footing re- quired by modern conditions and present circumstances than it was before the war with Spain. In discussing the subject with me, Mr. Hull said he was satisfied that «| the regular army of the United States should be increased to at least 100,000 men. He would have this increase principally in the artillery and in- fantry arms of the service, but what Mr. Hull believes to be fully as im- portant as an increase in the strength of the army is its reorganization on a modern basis. A beginning was made 10 the direction of army reer- ganization just before the war with Spain, but it was undertaken too late to be of benefit during the war. Upon one point Mr, Hull and the war department and the officers of the army generally are in perfeot ac- cord, namely, what is most of all needed by the United States army is the creation of a general staff, to be presided over by an officer of high rank—the chief of the general staff— who will be personally and directly responsible through his subordinates for every detail of army equipment and supply, and for practically the entire management of the army ex- cept the command of the troops, in the line of battle. With such a staff there would be nove of the present divided responsi- bility and there would be that com- bination of suthority and responsi- vility which is essential to efficiency Ever since the remarkable exbibi- tion of the efficiency of the German general staff organization in the Franco-Prussian war, students of military affairs have been endeavor- f]ing to have the staff of the United 1] States army modeled, as far as prac- ticable, upon the German model, but it has been impossible to interest congress on the subject It needed break-down and confusion which have characterized the operations of the present staff corps to arouse public opinioa on the subject.

His father, an ex-semator, was shot and killed by a miner named Otto Matts on Aug. 16th and it wes supposed that Matts was at work for R. D, Cole, of Henry county, Ten- nessee. He excited the suspicion of Cole, who wentin with s shot gun one night and demanded him to sur render. Mattes refused and was shot in the leg, bleeding to death. He was not the man wanted for the mur- der of the e ator. The latter’s son was in the city today, however, en route home, having gone to Henry county to investigate the matter and decide whether or not the slayer of his father was the man, he proved not to be. The name of the man killed was Charles Anticheck, and he is said to resemble the murderer of the ex- sonator only inasmuch as he was a German, RK, D.

Judah Philip Benjamin, who was attorney genera! of the southern con- federacy, and afterward a er of the English bar, is said by his biog- raphers to have } t power in ap- plying “the tl aw to daily ractice.” 1 tly Review lately reported ar ehrewdness and ec g logic: He was counsel for a plaintiff who owned a cargo of cotton and claimed a Liverpool ware- accepted it to be The j warehouse wareh¢ id, was old, and | the walls and roof gave way, in con- | sequence of which the cotton was damaged.

It isn’t everyone who can have a fascinating young woman sit upon his knee in a street car in broad daylight without embarrassment on his part. But there is an exception to every rule—so they say—and your humble servant poses as a living example of that exception, although how he ever survived the ordeal is more than he can account for. Tt was my dinner hour, and as T had been in the city all day, whacking away at an old ledger at six dollars a whack and one continuous whack every week, my appetite was by all odds the t part of me, and I was ina hurry to get home. It was half past four o’clock and the ear was crowded. There was just aseat and a half left unoccupied, and, according to the usual generosity of mankind, I hastened to secure the in- tegral part, leaving the remainder to the next unfortunate. My dreams of hot chocolate and boiled ham—a happy combination— were soon disturbed by the entrance of two fair damsels. One of them,a fair-haired, blue-eyed maiden, about whom the spring poets love to gush, cast her eyes alent the car (looking for a seat, I suspect) until I began to fear she would break the windows with them. Finally she spied the sinall space by my side, and, accom- panied by her friend, approached and gently let herself down into it, equeez- }ing an old woman with a basket up inst the stove. “Never mind, Mayme, you can sit Jown on my lap,” I overheard the fair one say. Well, maybe you think it’s funny, but I didn’t take it in a humorous light. I simply took it as it came and lidn’t bother about the light. I al- ways thought a girl could discrimin- ate between a weman’s lap and a man’s, but I see that I was led from the path of wisdom in my earlier days. “Mayme” proceeded to comply with her friend’s invitation, but I wasn't looking for what happened, She sat herself down on one ye of the lady beside me, and on two of mine. I was sorry that I couldn't ac- commodate her with some more knees, but [hadn’t an extra supply with me Well! You know those big sleeves that the women are wearing, of irse?_ T wouldn't have minded it so h if hadn’t stuck them right o miy fa It rather placed a chill upon my enjoyment of the occasion, but then one doesn’t have such a pretty creature to sit upon his lap every day in ibawiee Gah on astreet car at that, so I tried to overlook it. If I hadn’t been so tormented hun- gry I would have ridden to the ex- e end of the line rather than to disturb her restful attitude, for “where ignorance is bliss, ’tis better to remain ignorant.” But attitude or no, I had to get off pretty soon, and besides, she began to become heavy. I squirmed around a bit, but she didn’t seem to notice it, although the newspaper artist opposite me did, and motioned me to keep still until he got my feet drawn, I squirmed some more, but with the same result, or rather without any result at all, for she sat as firm as the tower of Babel. I was growing des- perate, I never had such a case as that on my hands before—or on my knees, more properly speaking. Thad to get off at the next square, and un- less she voluntarily removed herself from my lower appendages I should barrassed. I wasn’t embarrassed my- eelf, as I said at the beginning.
