CADETS USED 70 BE MORE PEACEABLE Knew of Only Three Flulitu Occurring Daring III Academic Term in '70' tuiel Tlione Were Im promptu Kncountcrn. WKST POINT, N. Y., Jan. 12. Colonel A. L. Mills, superintendent of the United Stales military academy nt West Point, occupied the witness stand during tho morn ing And afternoon session of tho congres sional Investigation committee, with tho exception of a few minutes during which Horace 0. Boo testified that the ovldonce given by him beforo the military court on December 2S was correctly reported on tho record. Colonel Mills occupied tho atten tion of tho commltteo at the night Hessian. Ho made an cxbaustlro and a compre hensive statement of bis administration ns superintendent of tho academy since ISaS and went Into details upon every point upon which tho coramlttco wished to bo enlight ened. Several times during the day novoral congressmen comprising the commlttco ex pressed themselves, as being pleased with thrao efforts ho was making to stamp out bating at tho academy. Onco he showed omo feeling when Mr. Hrlggs asked him If it wero true that the officers of the West Point academy wero so much Imbued with the fighting tradltlona of the academy thai they did not caro to atop It. Tho colonel put himself on record as being opposed to fighting and said It was not a traditional Institution at tho academy. He wild every officer nt tho academy was ngnlnst It nnd It was no part of tho training of the cadets. Tho commlttco will hold throo sessions dally during tho greater part of next week. Colonel Mills snld that bo wns graduated from West I'olnt In Juno, 1879. During his ezDerlenco ns n cadet, ho suld, fourth-class, men wero required to bo obedient and re spectful to tho upper class men, but not In tho same mcusuro which they would be obliged to recognlsto the authority of an academy officer. Tho same demerit system which now exists was then In vogue. "Did they bnvo class scrapping commit tees than?" asked Judgo Smith. "They did not.'' "Did they have fist fights to a nnlib, with referees, seconds and timekeepers?" "Not that I can recall. I think there were only three fights during my ucademlc terra. Thouo wero of an Impromptu nature, and I think tho contestants were all first class men." Judge Smith then asked a number of questions bearing on the survclllanro of tho movements of radetn nt night and elicited tho Information that no officer Is supposed to be awako all night In order to nco that the cadets do not get outsldo of the post reservation. At tho night session Horace C. Ilooz was examined briefly as to the accuracy of tho report of tils testimony beforo tho military iourt. This wns accepted by the commlttco ind Ilooz excused. Colonel Mills was then questioned ns to tho dismissal of Cadet Huetzlcr. Colonel Clayton said Huetzlcr had bcon reported .forty-one times by olllccra and on tlirfo ho received sixty-seven demerits, nnd on ncvcnty-tlx reports from cadets ho received 152 demerits, mnklng in nil 219 demerits. Colouol Mills when asked If ho had over found cadot officers to bo partial In their reports said ho never In his career us .supcrlntencdcnt had even a suspicion of a cadot ofllcor having abused his authority, Chairman Dick said the number nf demer its given lluotiler on reports of cadets, 127, ns ngnlnst sixty-seven on reports from olUcers, seems bo greatly out of proportion to tho other cases on tho list thai ho thought It needed soma explanation, Colonel Mills said Huetzlcr was n very careless mnn nnd that the vnrlous reports would show thin. This witness said he had HiK'tzlcr up before him frequently Ho did not think Huotzler had been tin fairly treated. Tho witness said that a report of tho In julry which ga'vo an Interview with him is printed In u Now York paper on Do :embcr J, 1900, wns Incorrect nnd cast n reliction on him nb superintendent of tho icndemy. At the conclusion of tho colonel's testimony court adjourned until Monday nornlng. Collision on (J rent .Northern.

Tho popular idea that tho only euro for chronic catarrh Is a chango of cllmato Is a mlstako because catarrh Is found In nil clt mates In all soctlons of the country; and even If a chango of cllmato should benefit for a time, tho catarrh will certainly re turn, Catarrh may bo readily cured In any cllmato, but tho only way to do It Is to destroy or romovo from tho system tho ca tarrhal germs which cause all tho mis chief. Tho treatment by tnhalors, sprays, pow ders aud washes has bcon proven almost useless In making a permnncnt cure, ns they do not reach tho scat of dseasc, which Is In the blood and can bo reached only by An Internal remedy which nets through tho stomach upon tho blood and system goner Ally. A now discovery which Is meeting with romarknblo succcsb In curing catarrh of the head, throat and bronchial tubes and also catarrh of tho stomach, Is sold by druggists under tho nnmo of Stuart'a Ca tarrh Tabids, These tablets, which are pleasant ond harmless to take, owo their efficiency to tho active modlclnal principles of Illood Hoot Ktd Gum and a new specific called Oualacol which togothor with vnluablo antiseptics aro combined In convenient, pnlatablo table form, nnd as vnluablo for children as for adults. Mr. A. It. Fornbank of Columbus, Ohio cays: I suffered bo many winters from Ca tarrh that I took It Is n matter of course. and that nothing could curo It except a chango of cllmato, which my business af fairs would not permit mo to take. My nostrils wero almost always clogged up, I had to breatho through tho mouth causing nn Inflamed, Irritated throat. The thought of eating breakfast often nauseated mo and the catarrh gradually getting Into ray stomncb took nway my nppetlto and digestion. My druggist advised mo to try n fifty cent box of Stuart'a Catarrh Tablets, bocnuso ho said ho had so many customers who had boon cured of Catarrh by the uso of these tablets, that ho felt he could honestly rcc omracud them. I took his advice nnd UBod several boxes with results that surprised and delighted me. I nlways koep n box of Btunrt's Catarrh Tablets In tho houso and tho wholo family use thein freely ou the first appearance of a rough or cold In the bead. With our children we think thero Is uoth log so safe and reliable as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets to ward off croup and colds and with older peoplo I hnve known of cases where the hearing had been seriously Ini paired by chronic catarrh cured entirely by UUs sew remedy. i - HORSE KNOWS THE ROUNDS llnrou Ilnok Her ItilrlllKPiier nnd Mnken .More Tliuii He Could on I lie Hnce.1, (Copyright, 1901, by Ires Ijbllhlng Co.) PAIUS, Jan. 12. (Now York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) A funny story Is going tho rounds of the cities concern ing an Intelligent horso belonging to Ilaron Ilcno Lallevlllo. Tho baron Is ono of the heaviest drinkers In 1'arls clubland. Ho Is said to bo eclipsed by only ono man la 'oris. Tho latter la Lallovlllo's newly ar rived coachman, who never has been sober long enough to learn Paris streets. A week ago several of his clubmatcs asked the baron how he found his way homo nlgbta. Ho replied that his horso knew Parts from end to end and that ho only needed to say where he wanted to go. His henrers being Incredulous, tho baron of fered to wager anyono 10,000 francs. TUreo men took tho bet. In front of tho club was found Lallovlllo's brougham, with tho coachman asleep. Good evening, Nclllo," said tho baron. Tho horso looked around ns though re turning a greeting. "Maxims, If you please, Maxims; only around tho corner " Nelllo halted before Maxim's door, tho oachman still sleeping. Alighting, tho bettors Insisted that It wns a trick, and that tho ronchman was shamming sleep. "Then whisper to Nelllo whoro you wnnt o go," said I.alluvllle. ono whispered in the animal's ear, "Moulin llougo." Off went Nclllo toward Mont Mnrtrc. Half way (hero tho men, partially satisfied, woke tho coachman nnd told him to stop. Another got out and told the horso to go to Cnfo Sunt Lazore, so quietly that tho coachman beard nothing, 'Hound turned Nclllo, stop ping n mlnuto later In tho courtynrd of tho rallwny station. Perfectly satisfied, the men roturncd to tho club, paid tholr bets nnd offered enormous sums for tho horso. Tho baron said ho would not sell her for .000 louls. Ho had bought tho animal from a deaf coachman who always pro- ended to bo nblo to near, relying on Ncl- o to never make n mistake, and sho never did. SLASH FAMOUS PAINTINGS IliirKliirn ltli mi r.j r to Art Arc CutiKlit In tin- .Studio of a I'nrlnlitii Art Collector. (Copyright, 1501, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Jan. 12. (Now York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) Hurglars ef fected an ontranco to the ground floor npart mcnt No. 6 Hue Volney, occupied by God frey Kopp, a rich nnd famous art collector. Two blcyclo policemen riding through tha trect, which Is only ono block long, had tholr suspicions aroused by seeing a man tandlng nt each end of tho street. De fending from their wheels they walked lowly and noiselessly back, carefully ex- mining tho doors. That nt No. 6 was lightly ajar. Scarcely hud they paused when tho door wns drawn gently open from Inside and a man stepped out. They grabbed him, threw n cape over his head nd whistled. Threo policemen arrived Im mediately. Dnterlng the rourtyurd they discovered tho dcor to tho Kopp apartment open. In side, hiding under tho furniture, they found ono burglur. Another escaped through n rear window. Wrapped In u vnllso lying on ho floor was n largo canvas, Just cut from Its frame. Another, half detached, hung from a frame. Kopp returned from London today. He said that tho burglurs evidently know tbelr business, ns they first devoted their ntten tlon to infinitely tho most valuable picture In his collection. Indeed, It Is believed that tho American newspapers are probably accidentally responsible for the attempted theft, for the plcturo cut from tho frame was tho ono recently variously described as having been bought by W. C. Whitney, Clarence Mackay and other American mil lionaires. It wns Titian's "Danae," or Gold Shower," n superb canvas two yards wldo nnd four and ono-hnlf feet high. H formerly belonged to tho Duko Modcnn, who took tho painting to Spain, where Kopp pur chased It. Stanford Whlto, n New York architect, wns reported six months ago In tho Paris dispatches to havo bought tha painting for W. C. Whitney. Other rumors cltod Clnrenco Mnckny as tho purchnser. These stories, finding echoes In tho Paris pnpors, tho plcturo became tho subject of prolonged discussion. In which Its valuo wns reported as 5100,000. This probably Incited tho cupidity of thieves.

Tho play wns In Yiddish and the audience, comprising for tho most part women and children, wub composed of Hebrews. The play W83 nearly over when tho cry which caused tho panic wns raised nnd within five seconds after It rang through the hall tho entire audleuco was converted Into a fran tic mob, every member of which was fight ing for safety. Tho hall Is frequently used for dances nnd when a theatrical perform ance Is given chairs aro set for the spec tators. As eoon ns the wild rush toward tho doors began chairs were knocked down In every direction tho aisles disappeared and the excited people; ran, climbed and stumbled over the chairs In their way to ward the doors. Children Thrown Over the llnlcoiiy. Around tho uppor part of the hall ex tonds a balcony which Is open only at ono end. Hero wero seated 100 women aud children nnd tho women at tho farther end of tho balcony, away from tho stnlrwuy, seeing that the rush toward tho exit wui blocked to them, began at onco t- throw tho little ones over the railing to the tloor, ten fcot below. Tho children fell Into tho midst of tho maddened throng nnd were at onco trampled under foot. It Is known that threo of tho dead wero children who wero thrown from tho balcony nnd woro trampled by tho crowd, with not a chance for their lives. Following the children many of tho women xprang from tho bal cony upon tho crowd below nnd others, swinging over, hung by their hands beforo they dropped. The railing of tho balcony was broken through In hulf a dozen places by tho pressure brought against It by tho mnddened crowd. On tho main floor tho crush was much worse than In tho balcony. Tho main exits from tho hall, and tho only onus known to a majority of thoso who frcquont tho place, aro two doors In the south end of tho main auditorium that open upon winding stairs, which, eight steps down, unite Into ono broader flight. Within tlvo minutes after tho beginning of tho panic It was all over aud tho police nnd flremon who came hurrying tolho sceno of tho disaster were called upon to do noth ing beyond carrying away tho dead nnd In jured nnd keeping back tho thousands who tried to force their way Into tho building. As soon nn the news of tho panic had sprend throughout tho district, which scorned but n very few minutes, all tho Hobrows from that part of tho city rushed to tho placo, bent upon learning tho names of tho doad nnd wounded. Men and women fought desperately with tho ofTlccrs In tholr efforts to enter tho building and learn If any of their loved ones wero among tho dead. Tho crowd was so great, so excited and so uumanagcablo that scvornl calls wero scut for additional onicers and flremon boforo It could be restrained. Tho alarm of flro was due to a defectlvo furnaco which at times allows sparks to pats up through tho registers. It was tho sight of theBO sparks rising Into tho room that frightened the man who raised tho cry of fire. The hall has sovernl times been the sceno of panics and It Is on If n few months slnco a number of children wero hurt In a rush for tho doors nt a Juvenile party.
