Heretofore it haa been the policy of the navy department to maintain offices in none but seaport cities, leaving the inland states un- attended: but the great lack of re- crults, which stands at present 6000 men short, foreed the department to lattempt something of a different na- |ture, so this aystem was adopted. It has proved eminently successful. In |January the department thus secur- jed 600 recruits, over and above ex- |pired terma, desertions, etc. This ao encouraged the department that they determined to send out more men, which is being done. Fine Opportunities Tieut. Morton ia an enthusiast recruiting young men. “It is certain ly a fine opportunity for young men of good habits,” he said, “and there is great possibility for the determin ed boy to work up to a position of | and become fitted for | poattions. Our navy should be more widely advertised, and these ‘expeditions’ accomplish much in that line.” Lieut. Morton eerved aboard the crulaed Marblehead during the block ade of the harbor of Santiago, and | was with that vessel when she bom- barded the trenches back of the city, responsibie American marines landed Work of Humane Officer Humane Officer Ridgway morning received a letter from David B. Porter of this city, enclosing « check for $6, to be used for the sup- port of the Townsend family at Green Lake.

He will probe the matter to the bottom, and prosecutiona may follow The cases will be brought at their meeting Monday night.
