In a letter addrssed to President John W. Springer, of the National Live Stock Association, to-dav, and made public by the latter, Dr. Gresswlll calls attention to the fact that cattlemen. If Dr. Koch'H statement is accepted as correct, will at onre demand the suspension of the tuberculin test, now in use to prevent the sale of cattle n filleted wjth tuberculosis. He JiHserts that this would cause a rapid reversion to the oldtlme prevalence of tubercular di.-eases. which, he says, there Is no question that these repressive measures have diminished.

In effect that at lark the blockading ships came closer to the entrance Instead of disappearing, as had been hitherto the case. I cannot ami must not. however, criticise the blockade established previous to my arrival, but only quote the observations of others, from which you must draw your own conclusions." "One other thing, admiral. Rear Admiral Schley In a recent interview claimed that the Brooklyn inlüct! 5S per cent, of the damage 1one the Spanish ships and recelvai 51 per cent, of the Injuries sustained by the blockading station squalron." "I do not wish to criticise) Schley or any of his statements. I do not want to be brought Into any discussion in which he is Involve!. His statements may be perfectly true. The exact figures are unimportant. I will repeat now what I said before, that the Brooklyn did excellent work In the battle. To the best of my recollection. I never criticised the Brooklyn except for her Initial movement a movement which. In my opinion, took her too far to the southward. This, in my opinion, was an error of Julcrment.

We feel hltthly honored by the sentiment expressed in thlt letter and the indorsement of an institution of the artistic standing of the Indianapolis Conservatory of Mule. Its significance enn be etter Judged when it is remembered that this conservatory Is resrn rdet as -ne of the li1lnir mule school of th middle VcL The number of student eurolied during the past year was close to the t hundred mark, and for the coming year it is believed that the attendance will be increased lully one-third. It follows that pianos in a school whre th-y are in constant use must have- extraordinary lasting qualities ai well as gvd tone and reponsiv a ti ii. All ot t bene tea tu res were caiefullv investigated by Mr. Cawley, which resulte! in the order being placed with us. Thestarr 1'iano ha received hundred of similar Indorsements but none of which can be so highly prized a this ouc, for it comes to ut practically unsolicited and from u home institution.

How a w "Word Travels So Soon from City to CIt). New York Evening Post. It is a curious fact that "slang travels farter than steam." This Is vaguely ascribed to the telegraph and the operators, but no one save the operator? seems to know how quickly catch phrases are made to fly from city to city. All thlng3 center in the telegraph offices; to them go all sorts of people theatrical folk, "horsey" men, commercial travelers, men about town. Messengers, receiving clerks, and in smaller cities even the operators hear and are quick to "pick up" the "latest" phrases and catch words, such as will lend themselves to interjection between the messages handled on a busy wire. Telegraph offices are busy places, and those working in them must needs condense their humor Into the smallest possible space or go without it, hence telegraphic wit is generally conrimd to crisp thinsrs that come out with a click and are so edged with sarcasm as to nach hundreds of miles to the man at the other emi of the wire. One romewhat vulgar word "bughoue" originited in a telegraph office and had a surprisingly quick popularity. On a busy morning the first wire of a telegraph company between New York and Raltimore "went out of balance." In other words, the delicate currents traversin It encountered a resistance great enough to cause them to cease intelligibly to actuate the multiplex Instruments connected with It. The wire chiefs intwcen Raltimore and New ork were called in, and after much testing the trouble was loeate.i in Raltlmore s Instruments. The Raltimore wire chief upon close examination fcund that the trouble was caused by a cockroach, which, after tumbling into an Inkwell flu-h with the table, crawled out and dragged its wet body upon the top of the resistance box. trying to escajve Into the box's Interior through one of the switch plug holes. The insect's wet body formed a connection, and the current traversed it as readily as it would have a metal plug placed in the hole: therefore many hundred ohms too much resistance was thrown aeross the path of the passing currents. Hence th resistance-box "had a bug." which created "wire trouble." This Information was repeated to New York when, the wire started again. The story was toM 'abou: the metropolitan office, discussed ami commented upon, and a new s!?ng word came lnt being, one Jut suited to telegraphic uses. Variations were settled upon within fifteen minutes, and the new bit of slang was sent flying over the country in every direction, as the poor wit of the operators found opportunity to use it. Soon after I was assigned to ths Bt-

I was ready to pass the new woid on him when occasion offered, but tfore the opportunity came a difference of opinion arose between us over the subject matter of a newspaper special then passing between us. At aa interesting point In the controversy my distant friend calmly clicked ofT the opinion that I "was bughouse." "Where did you get hold of that?" 1 asked. He ali. "The man on the Cincinnati wire Just yelled it at me." So Palthaore had passed the new slang to Cincinnati. St. Louis got it next, and probably pasted it to Ogrien. and Ogden sent it flying to the Paclfio coast. Chicago had It from Cincinnati, and passed it to the Northwest. St. Louis clicked it to New Orleans and tne Southwest. It could, traveling at the rate it maintained In the first lifteen minutes of its life, have traversed th United States and Canada within an hour. The operators passed It to the. clerks la each office, the clerks to the messenger boys, and the bys bote it to every nook and corner of their respective cities. The next lay the smaller cities had the new idiom, with variations; next the small towns and rural communities received it; In a week it was worn threadbare. SLEEPING OX THE REACH. Tiionsands on the Sand nt Cone) Island on Every Hot Iht. New York Evening Post. Police of the. Coney Island precinct divld the pirsons whi sleep on the beaches at the sc islde during the summer months Into two classes, regulars and transients. Th resulars are composed chiefly of the 6tabhboys and hangers-on of the neighboring race tracks at Rrighton Reach and Sheep, head bay. together with the Idlers who tx1st by doing "odd Jobs," honest cr other- ' wise, about the fam.us summer resort. The transients are made up largely of poot peple from the tenement lisirlcts of New York and JJrooklyn, who flock to the seaside with their children on the arrival of excessive beat and remain there until cooler weather enables them to return tu their homes. Classed anions the transients also are Rencrally to be found many who have invested their total capital upon horsts that "also ran" nt the race tracks. A Ccney Island policeman was asked today how many persons on an average slept cn the beaches at night. Sleep?" he replied. "Is it 'sleep' ye sav? Sure, they's about 1,500 generally tpen.ts the night on the sand, but It's not much sleepin' they're dein', I'm thlnkln. Th sandflies is that bad that moFt of thm spends the night Ecratchir. and the others spends it cussln' them that's scratchin'. " Until the recent "hot spell" the pollc were supposed tj keep the beaches tre.j from sleepers, but the law was never r'garded seriously, and unless the "regulars" mis-iiavel then: sei ve. they were never interfered with. When the hot weather hal fairly set in. however, the police wer somewhat surprised to receive rdeis from Commissioner Murphy that the bach were free to the public, and that persons who slept on them wtre to be projected. This onler was made necessary by the antics of a few practical Jokers, who took advantage of those sound sleepers wh couhi afford the luxury of a blanket, by seizing th blankets at the corners ami flumping the unconscious lumterer into the surf. Another prank of the practical Joker was to bury a sleeper under a mound of sand, and then yell, or blow a trumpet in his ear. They seemed to Mml considerable amusement in watching tha struggles of the suddenly awakened man befoi he had determined whe-e he was. The regulars Always have blankets or some sort of covering which they have "borrowed" from the racing stables or from some resident. Sometimes the transients bring a supply of blankets, sheets, quilts and pillows with them, and literally make their beds by the waters. Usually, however, each individual scoops out a hole in the sand, with a ridge of sand for i pillow, and wrapping himself or hrrs If In a blanket er shawl, goes contentedly to sleep if they can. The spaces above hlgh-wuter murk undr the piers and pavilions appear to be th- favorite spots. They are monopolized early in the evening, aj a rule, bv movers with s.nall children. Perhaps it "is to avoid tha possibility of a drenching by a shower, out. according to the police, there is no chance f(.r slei p thrc if It happens to rain. Immediately the first drops are flt. th , sleepers outside tke up their lds and run to the nearest shelter. The sleepers inside are wakened, and mad. to huddle up into a corner to give the others room. Optic Atrophy Curable. Philadelphia Record.
