When the United States practice ship
Constellation sailed on the cadete' sum
mer voyage Monday afternoon it had
aboard a number of homing pigeons,
to lie used as means of communication
between the ship and points ashore. The
birds -will be liberated at intervals, and
are expected to bring official messages
from the practice tessel to the naval
academy, where a loft or cote has re
cently been established.
If the experiment should prove suc
cessful the government will probably
find it profitable to the navy to encour
age the homing pigeon service with the
small appropriation needed to carry out
the plans of the projectors of the enter
prise. At present the facilities for
traiuing birds at the naval academy arn
limited, no government appropriatu-'i
being available. At Fortress Monroe,
the first stopping place of the ship, it it
possible several trained birds from lial
timore, Philadelphia and New York will
lie taken aboard and later dispatched
with information from the cruising
grounds. The headquarters ' at Wash
ington will also tie jiosted of the where
aliouta of the vessel through winged
messengers from that city. A loft of
birds to accompany the ship will mi
doubt lie snllk-iently trained toward tits
close of the voyage to le useful in cou
veying messages ashore. Anuapolist

I am aVmt to give society here and
the leaders of the gentian at watering
places this summer a bit of fashionable
intelligence which I know will lie star
tling in the extreme. The fiat has gone
out in the best London and Continental
society that the "reverse" in the valse
shall no longer be permitted. This re
form seems to have lieen originated by
the Prince of Wales, and of course it
was immediately taken up by the sm.vll
er fashionables in London.

"doing the reverse" in the waltz, and
now tiiat he cannot do it all he puts tl.e
ban of his disapproval on it. Hereafter
there is to lie no "reversing" at the state
balls or at any dances which are hon
ored by the royal presence. The fact is.
the "reverse" was hardly ever seen (in
the other side of the water at any time,
and now having the positive disapproval
of "the first gentleman of England" it
will disappear for good.

A good tiling has i.ist leaked out con
cerning a church fair held in I'tica net
very long ago. When the booths were
being put in position two men had a dis
agreement as to what position in the
hall a certain booth should occupy. It
was a small matter of course, but each
disputant was sure he was right. Thew
was a war of words, and one invited the
other outside to settle the difficulty.
Those who witnessed the settlement said
that it was unique and amusing. Which
party set the ball rolling will never lie
known. There was a swish of fists in
the air, two angry grunts, a sprinkling
of blood from two damaged nasal ap
pendages, a -whirl of arms and legs, and
the booth builders rolled over one an
other in the mud. Two sorry looking
pillars of the church they were when
separated and sent home to recuperate.
The booth went np, but whether its po
sition was mutually satisfactory has net
been learned. Utica Observer.
Mr. Kpsteln Held Four Are.
Burt Seiger, hailing from St. Lonis,
was yesterday afternoon bunkoed out
of if 160 on a poker hand, and James
Cary, Charles Kline aad Isaac Epstein
were arrested on the charge of ojierating
a confidence game. The four men were
on an incoming Missouri Pacific train
aad were indulging in a quiet game of
euchre for points. During the progress
of the game Epstein remarked that h
held a good ioker hand. At this Seiger
said he also held a good poker hand, and
proposed that the game be turned irotn
euchre to poker, which was accordingly
done and the cigars bet. From cigars
for the crowd the stakes grew to a box,
and from a box of cigars to five dollars.
Continuing at this rate, the neat bet of
100 nil Seiger hail was made and the
turn called. Seiger held four kings and
Mr. Epstein four aces. Kansas City

A Pretty Bin Fourteen-year-old.
The youngest soldier in the British
army, Private Defries, aged fourteen
years and six months, is a tine child for
his age. lie is close upon 5 feet 5
inches in height, with a chest measure
ment of !!3 inches, and weighs ICO
pounds. It is no wonder, therefore,
that the military authorities should
have enlisted him without a demur
when he told them that he was over
eighteen. His father now seeks to have
him discharged on account of his tender
years; but the war office, not unreason
ably, holds that the ouns lies upon him
to prove that his son is the lusns natune
ho would make him out. In other
words, the condition of his discharge is
the production of a certificate of age
and very right. London Globe.

AmcIc from the fact of its material
I benefits, the higher wages and
greater prosperity which it always;
brings, protection deserves the i
support of American citizens be
cause it is pre-eminently an Ameri
can policy.'
The great statesmen of our coun
try, irrespective of party, Jefferson
as well as Washington and Hamil
ton, Jackson as well as Clay and
Webster, have all believed in pro
tection, not only because as wise
men they saw the need of it, but al
so because it emphasized and ex
alted lhat true American spirit of
which all were equally enthusiastic
exponents.
Free trade has nothing to offer us
but what is foreign.
It wishes us to buy foreign goods
and import them in foreign ships,
It holds out to us the prospect of
foreign markets, and thinks no
trade good but foreign trade. The
very idea is foreign, imported from
Great Hritain, and its foothold has
been secured in this country largely
through the employment of foreign
emissaries.
Protection thinks that so far as
markets, laborers, industries, pro
ducts, ships and trade are concerned
in the words of an American poet
' There's no place like home,"
It wis!i-s it understood that Amer
ican products are good enough for
the A itierican people.
n imiiKs mat me tree trailers
claim that American laborers are
not skillful enough to manufacture
its well as the half starved laborers
of Europe is a sneer at the intelli
gence of American manhood.
And above nil other things, it em
phasizes, the fact that there is an
American standard of wages and of
living, and that our national life
and the high grade of ottrcountry's
citizenship depend on that stand
ard's perpetuation.
The impartial man, therefore,
who weighs both sides of the ques
tion cannot but conclude that pro
tection is the more patriotic policy,
and as such, more worthy of a
patriot's support. For with the
gn at mass of mankind, patriotism
still continues to be regarded as a
noble feeling, despite the contempt
of the "philosoper" or the sneers of
the mugwump. American Econo
