A MOTHERS SOLIClTUDE. How She Wanted Hex-Son to Qualify for. Pension. “The interest of parents in their soldier sons is exhibited in various ways.” said a clerk in the Adjutant General’s office to a Star reporter, “and while some of these exhibitions are grand and beautiful, some are other- wise. and I am 'sorry to say that the otherwise kind are painfully frequent. A recent case will explain what I am getting at. A young soldier applied to the lVar Department for a dis- charge. He, like thousands of others, had seen no service, except camp ser- vice. and. firing of this, there being no immediate prospect of service in the field, he applied for a discharge. The fond parent, in this particular case a widowed mother, hearing Of the son’s application for a discharge. came to this city and objected to the discharge giving a half a dozen good reasons for her objection“ which, boiled down, meant that the son was a ne’er-do-well and that about the only job her boy ever held was his job in the Army, since May last. “’hen told that the War Department was not particularly anxious to keep soldiers in the service who only stayed in it as a means of livelihood, where they could get their food and clothing, and that there was a strong chance that the discharge would be granted, she begged that the son be kept in the service long enough to get a hospital record, and that, while he was-not sick now, and had not been, ’she had every reason to, suppose that he would be, for lots of strong- er men had succumbed to camp diseas‘es, land in the natural course of events her son would share the same fate if his exposure continued, though she did not expect or desire that he Would be seriously affected, as he had never made effort enough in his life even to get a serious illness. ‘Discharge him now,’ said the mother, ‘when he has not been in the hospital an hour and therefore has no hospital record, and it will be almost out of the question for him ever to get a pen- sion!” At this the official she address- ed closed the interview by saying that the son would undoubtedly be discharged, and that the government was not engaged in making hOSpital records for the accommodation of. matey-Washington‘- Star. ,. ., worthlesssoldiers or speculative pan: . l" CONDUCT OF THEWAR. '73} Camp The Hearing at Chicago Begun. 3 Thomas Condition. Chicago, Nov. 8.—-—General Dodge, Col. Sexton and Dr. Conner of the war in- quiry commission, arrived in Chicago yesterday, and immediately began the examination of witnesses at the Audi- torium Hotel. A large number of wtnesses are on the list, and it is not likely that the three members of the commission will be able to leave Chicago before VVed- nesday. - They will then leave for Detroit, at. 'which place the investigation will be continued. From Detroit the commos- sioners will go direct to \Vashingtou. Do. Lewis Schooler of Des Moines, 1a., was the first witness to testify. From June 7 to July 17, Dr. Schooler was stationed at Camp Thomas as chief surgeon of the Second division, of the Third Corps. Questioned by Dr. Conner, he said that during the time he 'was there the sanitary conditions in the hospitals were not very good; the sinks in the whole division were bad; owing prin- cipally to the character of the ground, and the discipline was rather lax. “At the opening,” said Dr. Schooler, “there were practically no facilities for_ the care Of the sick; we were short of medicines and had no apparatus by which the stewards could prepare the medicines that we had.” Terrorized by Negroes. Wilmington, N. 0., Nov. 8,—VVhi1e no clash has occurred, rowdyism prevail- ed which came near precipitating a conflict Saturday night. Three hundred negroes paraded the streets at midnight with rifles and oth-, er arms.' They announced that their various orders had sworn deafth to the red shirts. Lawless bands of armed negl‘oes gathered in the northern portions 01' the city and an outbreak was momen- tarily expected. ' A number of white women in that section were nearly prostrated with fear. _ thite men guarded the houses and the “(Wilmington light infantry and Na- val Reserves l'endezvoused at night at their armories. ' Street cars were stoned by the De- groes and white people were compelled to desert them and walk. The police were unable to preserve order. The League Island Navy-Yard. lVashington, Nov. 8.—Lieut. Knapp of the navy has returned to Washing- tca from League island, where he has been engaged collecting testimony to be used in the prosecution of the gov- ernment employes charged with com« plicity in the overpayment of workmen ill the navy yard. He is now preparing this testimony for the use of the department of jus-‘ rice, and it is probable that he will be retained to assist in the prosecution in court. Lieutenant Knapp has also [collected such part of the evidence as seemed to bear upon the connection bf the naval officersin the League island yardwith the illegal practices complained of, and this will be placed in the hands of Judge Advocate General Lemly, to en- able him to pass upon the question as to whether or not a court martial shall be held, and, if so, who among the officers shall be charged. The “’ur-bond Awards. Washington, Nov. 8.—Nothing fur- ther has been heard from Secretary Carlisle as to his proposed appeal from Judge Coxe’s decision in the case of the subscribers for war bonds whose sub- scriptions were throyn out for non- compliance with the treasury regula- tions. ' Secretary Gage, as a courtesy, held the matter Open till the end of last week so that Mr. Carlisle could take an appeal on equitable grounds. This resort will now be closed against him, though his right to take an ap- peal in law will still survive for a time. The Peat't‘. Negotiations. Paris, Nov. S.—-The Eclail‘, after re- producing all the six articles of the peace protocol, says: “It is to be hoped that the United States will not maintain their first pre- tensions in regard to the Philippine is- lands. The question of the sovereignty over the Philippine islands is one, how— evcr, which interests Spain only; but Germany, from time to time, allows it to' be _thought that she is not indiffer- cllt to the fate of the islands, and the possibility of interference from this power will perhaps cause America to be less exacting.” (‘otlon Illills Started Up. Fall River, Mass, Nov. 8.—The Bon- den City cotton mills Nos. 1 and 3, which had been closed for nine weeks on account of a sympathetic strike to help the weavers in No. 2 mill of the same corporation, opened their gates yesrcrdny and are running with prac- tically a full complement Of employes.

Father and son celebrate ' the thirty- fifth anniversary of their accession to thrones within a month of each other, and stJange to say, King George, of Greece) had royal honors even before his aged father, for the former ascend- ed his throne, October 315t,‘1863 and King Christian, of _Denmark, was crowned on November 15, of the same year. Prince Christian, a fourth son of the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein. had been brought up in the ordinary military career of princes without expectations. He had a small salary, she a small dot. For ten years they had to prac- tice the most rigid economies. Then came a slight betterment in his condi- tion and an enormous and unexpected change in his prospects. On May 8. 1852, the apparently inextricable con- fusion into which the question of the Danish succession had lapsed was straightened out by the protocol of London, and Prince Christian was for‘ mally recognized as heir to his wife's cousin, King Frederick VII. of Den- mark. The couple received the title of Royal Highnesses, and later Chris- tian became inspector general and commander in chief of the Danish cav- alry in a miniature __,army of forty thousand all told. This turn of For- tune’s'wheel, however, made little throne as Chrisrian IX of Denmark. Simultaneously with the accession of the Prince of Schleswig-Holstein to the throne rival claimants arose for the duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, which had been part of the possessions of King Frederick VII. of Denmark. The extinction of his dynasty, it was asserted, and the substitution of a. new one, had entirely altered the change in the household’s style Of ex- istence until the year 1863, when Fred- erick’s death brought the prince to the rights of succession in these provinces. It is needless to enter into the merits of this involved and difficult contr.- vcrsy. Lord Palmerston used to say: ~“There have been but two men who really comprehended the question about the duchies—Prince Albert, who is dead, and I, who have forgotten." Suffice it to say that after diplomatic wranglcs, which closed in an appeal to arms. Prussia, Austria and Germany all took a hand in the fight, and the first of these great countries, under the wily hand of Bismarck, succeeded in robbing little Denmark of the three duchies of Holstein, Schleswig and Laucnberg and attaching them to her own dominions. France and England looked on growlingly, but both con- cluded not to interfere. After this loss of one-third of the kingdom internal troubles arose in that portion of his dominions which still remained to King Christian. King and parliament could never agree, a characteristic that both have retained almost to the present time. Minister- ial crises ill Denmark have been as frequent as revolutions in South Amer- ica. ' But in his home life he found a re- lief i'rom the strains of ruling, and the story of the splendid marriages of his sons and daughters has become an old—time tale to every household in C(lristendom. THE: WASP AS AN ENGINEER- Bit of insect Cleverness .Tllat Won Praise ‘ From Army Men. Several Members of the United States engineer corps were interested witnesss of a feat of insect engineer- ing near the road on which they were working. One of their number found a blue ground wasp dragging along the ground a dead swamp spider 01153- quarler the size of a full grown taran- tula. ‘.'~l‘.etller the wasp killed the spider or found it dead is a question beyond solution. He was having a hard time dragging his prey along, and presmltly left. it to go prospect- ing for his abode. The discoverer of thb wasp called his companions, and one of them in coming stepped upon the wasp‘s ground hole. crushing down some blades of dried grass across it. This caused no little trouble to the inslxct, who, upon locating the hole, upping away at the obstructing: stalks with his strong mandibles until he had cleared a passage. Then he went back and sized up l'lll‘ spider, walking around the big body and sur- veying it from all sides. “He‘s reckoning that the hole isn‘t big enough,” said one of the engin- ccrs. “That's all right. he’ll fix it," said another, as the insect went back and commenced vigorously widening the entrance to his domicile. Again he returned to the spider. seized it and dragged it to within a foot Of the orifice. To the spectators it was evident that more work would have to be donn before the spider could be dragged in. This struck the wasp, too, for again he ran around the body, examining it carefully, and re- turned to the hole to take measure- ments. He went to digging a second time. Having dug for two minutes. he brought his prey up to the edge of the hole. nipped out a piece of dirt here, cut away a grass stem there, and after fifteen minutes of hard and skillful labor disappeared under- ground, dragging the spider aft-9r him, doubtless to form the piece de resist.- ance in a winter storehouse. The en- gineers then resmnedtheir work, ex- hhmlging comments of admiration.— Chicago Inter—Ocean. _______..._._.___ “If you do not marry me I shall hang myself,” exclaimed a lovel-orn Denver young man. ’ “Well, if you do, please go dewn :1 b'lo'c'k,” was the cheerful response, “for I heard papa. say he did not want you to, hang around here.”—-Denver , Times - _ . - TllE EXCELLENCE or SYRUP or ms is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also . to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.
