The Size of the Army Limit Set
by Congress May Not be
Needed.
Judge Boyd on the Impeachment
Question Prosperity of the Ship
Building Industry.
Washington, April 1. President
MeKinley i delighted with the recent
news from tbe Philippines, including
i he gallant and daring capture of Ag
uh.aluo b.y Gt.-n. Fred Funston and
the continued surrender of Filipino of
ficers and men, as well as the rapid
progress of the establishing of civil
government in the various provinces
by the Tatt commission. It looks as
if peace and prosperity wero ahead of
the Philippines, and that both would
come much sootier than the most san
guine would have predicted a few
weeks ago. President McKinley
promptly assured Senator Burton and
Representatives Curtis and Long, of
Kansas, that Gen. Funston 's good
work should be rewarded, and as
promptly made him a brigadier gener
al in the regular army, although that
action on the part of the president did
not meet the approval of some of the
ai my fossils who say that Gen. Fun
ston is too young to be a brigadier
general in the regular army; he is only
35. The answer to that argument is
that Funston earned his commission as
a brigadier general of volunteers by
his bravery and gallantry, and that
now he has earned a similar commis
sion as a regular; what a man is old
euough to earn, he is old enough to
have. To properly reward him was to
encourage future Funstons to perform
gallant deeds when the occasion for
them arises. -
WHAT SHALL, BE DONE WITH AGUINAL
DO? Much clap-trap has been sent from
Washington about the president and
cabinet worrying over what shall be
done with Aguinaldo. Nothing could
be further from the truth. Aguinaldo
is a prisoner of war and as such ia like
ly to receive the same kind treatment
given others from time to time captur
ed. Whether he will be allowed to re
cover his liberty by taking the oath of
allegiance to the United States or will
be kept in confinement in the Philip
pines or elsewhere, will depend large
ly upon future recommendations
made by our military authorities" in
the Philippines, and those recommen
dations will doubtless be influenced by
the attitude of Aguinaldo himself to
ward American rule on the islands.
There is nothing in the situation to
cause any worry in Washington, or
elsewhere.
THE SIZE OF THE ARMY.
It is very confidently expected by
the president and Secretary Root that
the improved conditions in the Philip
pines will make it unnecessary to re
cruit the army to the full strength au
thorized by congress. No orders will
be issued to stop the recruiting until
Gen. McArthur and the Tafc commis
sion have been fully heard from, but
both the president and, secretary of
war are fully determined that no more
men shall be recruited than are consid
ered absolutely necessary to meet the
conditions, and both will be extremely
gratified if th total of the "army can
be kept far below the maximum fixed
by congress. Neither wishes for a
large army unless it is necessary.
JUDGE BOYD ON THE IMPEACHMENT.
Judge Boyd, of North Carolina,
former assistant attorney general,
was in Washington, when the
news of the collapse of the attempt
to impeach the judges of the supreme
court of his state was received.. Speak
ing of the matter, Judge Boyd said:
"There could have been no other
honest verdict. There was never any
ground of impeachment in the first
place, bht the places of the judges
were wanted, and it was thought that
they could be ousted by impeachment
proceedings. What seems strange : to
me is that the trial did not attract
more attention. If there had been an
impeachment of judges in any other
state in the Union, there would have
been columns of the story printed with
pictures of th3 judges, of tbe senators
who formed the court, and of the prin
cipal lawyers in the case. There
were many interesting and even dra
matic features iu the trial." .
THE SHIP BUILDING INDUSTX".
C. B. Orcutt, of Elizabeth, N. J.,
president of the Newport News (Va.)
Ship Building company, is in Wash
ington fur the purpose of nignina: a
contract wilh the navy department for
constructing the Charleston, which is
to replace the cruiser of that name
wrecked in the Philippines. Speak
ing of tbe great prosperity of the ship
building iudui ry, he said: "The total
ships under construction in our yards
will lwprebtjut a cost of nearly 28,000,
000, when completed. About one third
of this is merchant work, and the other
two thirds are ir the government.
The Korea, building for the Pacific
Mail company, which was recently
successfully launched, is the largest
merchant vessel ever constructed in
this country. Her sister ship, the Si
beria, should be ready for launching in
about two months. The ships we now
have under construction are the battle
ships Illinois and Missouri, one sheath
ed battleship, two armored cruisers,
one protected cruiser and ihe monitor
Arkansas. In addition to the two Pa
ciric mail steamers, we are building
four steamers for the Morgan line.
We are now employing 6,800 men,
and before rnauy days we shall have
7,000 on the rolls.''
WOflAN'S INTERESTS
Waists that is to say, separate
waists will evidently retain their
vogue, savs a contemporary, white
probably carrying the day. Many
models are shown in white taffeta,
adorned most fancifully with corn col
ored lace and insertions of the same
color, while grenadine is also employ
ed. Here the trimming is the lace
above mentioned, or black Chantilly,
or again various descriptions of gold
trimming, principally openwork.
Very dainty trimming of colored
straw braid or lace ornament many.
They are constructed with plain back,
and hang straight, blousing fronts de
scending below the waist line. Entire
waists of allover lace, white, cream or
corn colored, but invariably lined
with black or white, are among the
most dressy. Many of these are con
sructed with basques about ten inches
in depth, or a long postilion at the
back. These will accompany either
woolen, silk or muslin skirts we are
promised masses of the latter, but
models of such have not yet appear
ed or lace skirts, of course matching
in color or design.
WASHING CUT GLASS.
Housekeepers know that cut glass
carafes or water bottles are very hard
to keep clean and new looking. When
a lime deposit has formed on the in
side, fill the carafe with sour milk and
let it stand a day or two, empty and
wash in soft warm water, to wnich a
teaspoon of ammonia has been added.
Rub thoroughly with a soft brush, tie
a paper or cloth over the mouth, and,
whije it is still wet, bury it in a box of
sawdust. Leave a day or two to dry,
rub off the sawdust with a soft brush
and the carafe will glisten as it did on
the shelf in the shop. All cut glass is
is improved by this treatment. Jew
elers realize the value of fine sawdust
in cleaning diamonds and other fine
jewelry. Good Housekeeping.
AN EASTER HINT.
Under the above heading, a Phila
delphia contemporary quotes the fol
lowing, which it says should be of kn
portance at this time: "If to the water
in which cut flowers are kept about a
tablespoonful of Piatt's chlorides (the
ordorless disinfectant) be added, the
perfume and freshness of the flowers
will be retained for a much longer pe
riod than would otherwise be the
case."
We give this hint for whatever it
may be worth. We venture to sug
gest however that while it is all very
well for some people, yet there are
many to whom the perfume of flowers
either in a small room or in a closely
packed church is very far from pleas
ant. Such persons would prefer a dis
infectant strong enough to drown the
sickly odor of the flowers.
Among-its many curious products
South Africa includes "sneeze wood"
tree, which takes its name from the
fact that one cannot cut it with a saw
without sneezing, as the fine dust has
exactly th same effect as snuff.
