investors and then he threw open the

The attention of the War department
haa been directed to the use of penalty en
velopes by an army chaplain, who was
Ireulatlng literature of a benevolent
haracler. The object of the correspond
ence was for an entirely worthy purpose
and deserved all the help which could be
Imparted to It by those in authority. At
the same time, the rules attaching to the
use of the penalty envelope are very strict
and the postofftce authorities have refused
o make any exceptions, since It would
lead to difficulties In determining exactly
what may justifiably be sent through the
mall In this way. Information has been
given to the chaplain In this case, that
the penalty envelope cannot be used by

The officers of the Army Waft college
In their ride to Gettysburg spent the early
portion of the week at Antletam, where
they were joined by Colonel J. A. Duncan,
acting chief of Infantry, and Lieutenant
Colonel W. D. Beach, acting chief of cav
alry, who returned to AVashlngton on
Thursday. There was a special study of
the engagements at Antietam and lectures
of an Instructive character were deliv
ered by Major D. J. Baker, Eleventh Infan
try ; Captain E. A. Holnilck, Tenth Infantry;
Captain R. A. Browh, Fourth cavalry; Cap
talnFox Connor, of the field artillery, and
Lieutenant Colonel John T. Knight, quar

has continued without interruption, de
spite the bad weather encountered by the
officers on their trip. The officers will
eave their horses at Gettysburg on Mon
day and return byail to Washington,
going back to Gettysburg on July 1,
where they will spend the month at the

The military authorities are eneasred In an
animated discussion of the tvDe of len-irln
which should be adopted for the army as a
part of the apparel In the field of officers
and the members ot the enlisted force.
Thero Is the usual diversity of view ex
pressed In reports which have been received
by the general staff and which are now
under discussion in that quarter. At pres
ent there are four styles of legglns in use
in tho army. The officers and a few of
the enlisted men wear the leather leggln;
then there Is the puttee variety, a woolen
strap worn as a sort of bandage around
the leg; the canvas leggin is of two va
rieties, while still another leggln Is the old
type of 1S98, which Is fastened at the side
wun hooks ana has a strap passing under
the foot. An analysis of the various re
ports shows that many of the officers
tavor the old leggln ror both garrison and
field service. The newer types are pro
nounced difficult of adjustment and In the
case of the woolen puttee great care has
to be exercised to avoid SDOlylna it an
tightly as to stop the circulation of the
blood. It Is this puttee, however, that the
mrantry equipment board has recom
mended as one ct the features of the unl
form of the foot soldier. The subject
promises to engage more discussion than
any other article of tho equipment.

x The issuing of a new Victor duet by these
famous singers is an event of the greatest
importance in musical circles more im
portant than the production of a new opera
at the Metropolitan or Manhattan. For
while comparatively few people hear the
new opera, music-lovers all over the world
will soon be enjoying the exquisite blending
of these two great voices.
' This beautiful duet occurs in Act I, between Lieut.
Pinkerton (Caruso) and Sharplets the American Consul
(Scotti); and the number closes with a splendid climax,
as Pinkerton recklessly pledges the "real American wife' ,
he hopes to meet some day.
