General (Jlis replies in the affirmative, the estimate of 0, 000 men to constitute the army agree ing with his own calculations. The program for the moverurntof the regulars out to Manila and of the volunteers homeward, therefore, will ho carried out according to General Otis' statement contained in his dis patch o! yesterday. General Otis adds to his message the hopeful remark that he expects very shortly to be able to report a decided improvement in Ihe situation in the Philippines.

The bowl is made of earthenware, and is silver-plated, and is considered no less valuable because of a nick in the cover of the bowl, as the story runs that Napoleon was passing it to a friend one day, when he accidentally dropped it on the floor, making the aforesaid nick.

First Maker of Spectacle. The invention of spectacles is often attributed to Roger Bacon, who died in 1294. Further research, however, has shown that in 1285 Savrino Degli Armati, a Florentine, worked glass into the form of a lens as a help to vision. For him, therefore, may justly be claimed the honor of having in vented spectacles. He died in Flor ence in 1611 and was Duriea in tne Church of Santa Maria Maggiore.

Deputy County Treasurer A. L. Mungor met with a painful accident about 11 :.'() o'clock today. Just outside of the enclosure in the treasurer's otlice is a clock on the wall which ht.s not bien keeping tho correct time re cently, and Mr. Munger wus in the act of setting the limo piece aright when ho met with tho accident. Immediately under tho clock was a small writing desk in tho shape of a shelf fastened to tiie wall with pegs, and Mr. Munger fctood upon this in order to reach tho clock, and it gave away, allowing him to fall heavily to the floor. In so fall ing ho struck his elbows on the floor or shelf it is not known which in such a manner as to dislocate his left shoulder. Dr. T. P. Ijivingslt n was immed i itely summoned and pronounced the injury as above stated. The injury wa-i very painful and it took fully an hour to set tho shoulder. The patient was placed under tho inlluence of chloroform and with tho assistance cjf Treasurer Kikenbary and Will Stroight the dislocation was final Iv remedied. A cab was called and Mr. Munger was taken to his home at 1 o'clock and it will be some time beforo ho will be able to resume his duties iu the treasurer's office. D. Livingston stated that it was the hardest job of the kind he had ever found. "The Fair' Stock Attxchccl. The stock of goods in the general store known as "The Fair" is in -the hands of Sheriff Wheeler, ho having seized it on a writ of attachment is sued by the Richard son -Roberts-Byrne Dry Goods company of Chicago. The store has been conducted by J. Wolf & Co., for the past year, but a man by the name of A. C. Newell pur chased it this week. In their petition the Chicago firm set forth that the sale was not a bona tide one, but was made fo' the purpose of defrauding creditors. Newell purchased the stock for $1.0(10, and it is paid to be worth about $1,-500. The claims which have been filed aggregate! $2,o0). The stock of tho Metropolitan Mil linery store, owned by the same firm, has also been attached and the doors of that institution are closed. The Cass county bank and the wholesale millinery (i'ra of Tootle, Weekiie & Co. of St. Joe are holding claims against tho latter. AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES. English Workmen Have Many Objec tion) to Their Introduction. English workmen do not view with complacency the introduction of the American locomotives on the Midland railway. They are not only an affront to their national pride, but they see in them a positive menace to the en gineers' trades union, which has been one of the most powerful in all Eu rope. The American locomotive Is placed on the rails in Great Britain at a cost of from 20 to 30 per cent less than the British makers can produce the same sort of a machine. So the working of the American locomotives is watched with much more than or dinary interest by men on both sides of the ocean. If the machines can be made thoroughly adapted to British requirements at such a saving of cost to the British railway companies, it means that the British maker must produce them at a like cost or else be thrown out of the market. That means lower wages to the British workman, and against that he will fight with all his characteristic ob stinacy, as he ha3 to the introduction of labor-saving machinery. Even the long-drawn out and disastrous strike which made possible the introduction of the American locomotive, has not taught them the whole of their lesson. There is even now a proposition on foot that the union of locomotive driv ers shall adopt a rule prohibiting mem bers from handling an American-made locomotive, when the engineers' union shall reach the conclusion, if it does, that the introduction of the American machine threatens seriously the wages of their trade. lenn3 lvanl Dower. An old law of Pennsylvania required that every girl, when about to leave her father's or employer's home, where he had worked until of age, should receive, as ner aower, one feather bed and bedding, one full suit of new cloth ing and one spinning wheel. Thi3 law has never been annulled, though in the case of girls indentured to service it has been merged in a money equiv alent when the girl's time is out; and in the case of daughters changed into an expensive trousseau and homp fur nishing upon marriage.

Miss Frances Babcock of Lawrence, Kan., receive more mail through the local post office than any other sin gle person in the town, and more than any but the largest firms. Miss Bab cock, it will be remembered, is the young woman whom John Henry Col lins admired, and for love of whom, it is alleged, he killed his father, J. S. Collins, last May. To her John sent his damaging "tell nothing" telegram, and during the sensational trial which followed his arrest she was an im portant witness. Aliss Baucock is now receiving letters from people in all parts of the country, who ask her for her photograph, and from others who merely solicit her auto graph. The most interesting request made of this young lady was by an am bitious St. Louis composir, who asked for her picture to decorate the fly-leaf of a sensational love song which he purposes springing upon an unsus pecting public. It is entitled "Will My Sweetheart E'er Forsake Me?" or sdmething similar. All of these re quests, it must be said to Miss Bab cock's credit, are treated with scorn. She testified at the Collins trial that she was in the habit of burning hei letters, and this is the treatment she gives those from the numerous cu riosity seekers. Naturally of a mod est disposition. Miss Babcock seea nothing to enjoy in the rather grew some notoriety she has gained from her connection with the Collins case, end from her daily walk and talk in university and society circles no one would ever suspect that this young lady had been brought into unusual prominence as a chance witness In a sensational murder case. The Snake Kot. The "snake nut" tree is a native of Demerara and Guiana. The nuts are about the size of a walnut, and when they are opened the kernel displays a wonderful resemblance to a snake coiled up. There are the head, mouth and eyes, so complete that any one unacquainted with the nut would be lieve it to be an imitation by human hands and not a freak of nature. This wonderful resemblance to a snake has induced the natives to consider the nut an antidote to snake poison. The tree appears to be peculiar to the low er part of the River Essiquibo and Its tributaries. J. D. Bridge, editor and proprietor of the Democrat, Lancaster, N.

Loobet's Fine Decoration. The grand master's collar of the Or der of the Legion of Honor, with which President. Loubet was invested, is of finely wrought gold, and is alto gether a magnificent decoration, but very rarely assumed by the president. The order dates frcm Napoleon's con sulate in 1802. It comprises four classes viz., eighty grand crosses, 160 grand officers, 400 cemmanders, and an unlimited number of officers and chev aliers. Unless by the exercise of au thority on the part of the grand mas ter, or for some signal service to the state, all holding the order begin as chevaliers, and are not eligible until they have exercised with distinction fo. twenty years civil or military du ties or .-.ve done some important ser vice to the state, or earned distinction in art or science. A chevalier must have held that grade for four years be fore he can become an officer; two years more are necessary before the grade of commander can be attained; a commander cannot become a grand officer under five years, and five years more are needed before a grand oP"cer can become a grand cross. For mili tary men years of war services count double.

By far the larger number of criminals con victed during a year have been con victed of some crime before a fact that led the home -office to conclude "that neither penal servitude nor im prisonment serves to deter the habit ual offender from reverting to crime, and it is the habitual offenders who form the bulk of the prison popula tion."
