Every time a court-martial comes to occupy the center of the stage the people who watch the procedure from the outside wonder how it happens to differ ho materially from that of a civ il trial, with which they are more familiar. The answer is simple. A court-martial is a family affair. The wise parent, when his children get into a dispute, even though he may be a judge of the supreme judicial court, takes a somewhat rule-of-thumb method of his own devising for getting at the merits of the controversy. He may, if he likes, proceed on the theory of the French code by making the child, who is charged with an offense tell what he was doing at the time instead of giving the youth the privilege of the common law of snapping his fingers at the judge and saying: "Prove it if you can; I will keep quiet." In much the same way the military and the naval service have evolved in the course of years, on both sides of the water, a method of disposing of their own troubles. It suits them, although widely at variance with that which has been found wise in regular court proceedings. It applies to things which are quite as often as otherwise not offenses against the law of the land; its punishments relate to the service itself; the accused is bound by its conclusions, when properly approved, because he is amenable to the rules of the service. Aside from the usually public character of a courtmartial, it is essentially a family method of settling a family dispute, by administering punishment binding by reason of one's family membership. The Seed Catalogue. From the Chicago Tribune. Dfc-ty snow is still piled high in city yards; the walks are glassy with ice bearing here and there pools of water on its surface. The trees are leafless and such evergreen shrubs as are to be seen, are drab and unattractive as the skies above them. Furnaces are still sighing in city cellars and the robin has not made his appearance even in Mont Clare but, in spite of all these things) there are signs that spring will yet come, and the chiefest of these is the appearance of seed catalogues. We may despair, at the lingering of winter, that the vernal season may not come. Verdure may be backward, the birds may delay their appearance, the ground hog may retire into his hole, we may have every reason to think that a new glacial epoch is going to set In, but when all other signs fail the mail brings us the flower dealers catalogues, and then hope for better days springs again in the breast. Need of High Pressure System. From Views. Views fervently hopes that the new pronounced agitation by the citizens of this district for the establishment of a high-pressure water-main system as a much-needed adjunct of the district's fire department will influence congress to speedily appropriate the necessary amount to defray the expense of installing such a system. Its gravity pressure alone would make a single fireplug more effective in fighting a large lire than three engines. What's The Use? From the New York Herald. Proposition is now made that married men be required by law to wear wedding rings. Nonsense! You can always tell 'em on sight Sometimes. From the Pittsburg Gazette Times. There are times, however, when the groundhog's guess on the weather is just as bad as Uncle Sam's. TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson) Unsympathetic.

A DEAD

You know how feeble is the flame of life that flickers in a young child; how it flares up reflecting the ruddy glow of health in all the child's being; how it falters when some breath from the dark comes sweeping in. The restless exuberence of the baby crawling on your knee, the childish cry of delight, may all be stilled an hour after, so delicate is the adjustment of the mystery of lately joined soul and clay. A child, a mere baby, dimpled and sportive with the lust o' life was lately stricken with a fever. The parents called in a physician who having paid his visits, set off for a day's Journey. Haste or forgetfulness, (that is a matter between him and his Maker) caused him to neglect to make arrangements to care for the case in his absence. A few hours afterward the child grew worse. The fever flamed. The choking strangle of the breath; the awful pulse; the sudden chill what need to write the agony? Then came telephone calls to several doctors. The question they asked was, who the attending member of their clan might be. Man after man gave some excuse. You know the code which does not permit tbe entrance of a doctor save on invitation of the original physician. The baby died. And all save the man called last, refused the case. Strong men go down to the sea in shipc and into the bowels of the earth. The sailor is sent to the bottom in the night. The miner is doomed by criminal negligence and chance. And many men are killed in diverse ways. In the days run we put them in the proper niche with display of type that you may know the world's work. You will not find this story writ large on the first page, nor on the second. But hidden away in the vital statistics, buried far from sight in the consciousness of a few doctors you will find this story of a dead baby a mere unit in population.

Conspiracies we have, in "restraint of trade" on whose secret minutes of proceedings is written the ruin of strong berserkers of commerce. "Senatorial courtesy" has aroused a nation tired of the barter of its rights. But any association whose tacit rule of "professional etiquette" fosters such a thing as this, may write upon its records this story.

A dead baby.

FAKE LABEL The Printers' Union Protests Against Action of One Local Plant. A CANDIDATE IS VICTIM It has com to the attention of the executive committee of the local typographical union, that a certain Richmond printer, whose name is said to be known by the committee, and who is not a member of the union, is using a fake typographical union, in imitation of the real label. The discovery was made when a candidate card was found bearing the fake label and the matter has caused considerable comment among members of the local union. The label being used slightly resembles the real typographical label, but in reality, it is said, it is the label of the international linen union. The words "union made" is in large conspicuous type and is easily read. The remainder of the label is in small print. It is declared by the members of the executive committee that the user of the fake label will be vigorously prosecuted and the attention of International President Lynch will be called to the matter. It is the desire of the union that all persons be warned against the fake label. Following is the genuine label. NEW PASTOR HEARD Rev. Mr. Cates Delivers His First Sermon at Grace Church Sunday. ADDRESS EXCELLENT ONE Choosing for his text, "We Are Laboring Together with God," the Rev. Arthur Cates, the new pastor of the Grace M. E. church, from Cheyenne, Wyo., delivered his first sermon at the church yesterday morning, and made an excellent impression on the large congregation which greeted him. In part he spoke as follows: "The long story of human progress is the record of men's struggles to know the laws of God, the hidden secrets being a source of constant challenge to man. The masses are too ignorant in the intellectual image of God but are able to appreciate hia artistic ideals and partake with him iu the common joys of beauty. Men win jiower by learning how to work with God, and i)Ower is always realized by co-operation with I lira." MASONIC CALENDAR. Monday. Feb. 7th, 1910 Richmond Commandery, No. S, K.

USING

RAILWAY WORKERS AS FIRE FIGHTERS

Men Employed by P. R. R. Last Year Extinguished Over 300 Blazes. $9,000,000 WAS SAVED COMPANY'S ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT FOR FIGHTING FIRES HAS BEEN PLACED ON A GOOD BASIS NOW. Pittsburg, Feb. 7. The annual report of the insurance department of the Pennsylvania railroad system, issued today, .shows that the company's own employes extinguished 321 fires during 190ft. These fires occurred on property valued at more than $9,000,000, yet the loss from them amounted to only about $20,000. The insurance department's report derives added significance from th fact that during the past year additional equipment for extinguishing fires has been plated at available points. The company's own organization for fighting fires has been further developed by special training of employes, and additional locomotives in yard service have been equipped with special apparatus for use in case of fire. Appreciate Their Efforts. A circular is to be issued by the insurance department giving the causes of all fires on the Pennsylvania system east and west of Pittsburg in 1909, in order that the employes may realize that their efforts to minimize losses from fire are appreciated, and further, that their attention may be called to the number of fires occurring from preventable causes. During the year 1909 there were 029 fires on the entire system, involving a loss of only $402,613, which was exceedingly small, comparatively, as the value of the property was more than $260,000,000. Forty fires, entailing a loss of $11,079, smarted on adiacent property. Spontaneous combustion was responsible for a loss of $10,315. from 21 fires. Two fires resulting from careless handling of lighted cigars, cigarettes and matches, caused a loss of $60,393. Nine fires were due to tramps, with a loss to the company of $1,270, and 2S fires, with a loss of $28,670, were of incendiary origin.

Suit Over War Photos Finished And It Was Proven That Disputed Negatives Were Actually Obtained During the Great Civil Conflict.

Washington, D. C, Feb. 7. The law suit over the $iriO,00t collection of original negatives taken during the civil war, by Matthew Brady and Alexander Gardner, under the authority of the government and the, protection of the secret service, came to an abrupt end today. The suit, which has been several years in progress, has involved several hundred witnesses, Including the statements of prominent army officials, affidavits of old soldiers, and war department records; its facts date back to 1S61. Allan Pinkerton, founder of the Pinkerton Detective agency, and first thief of the secret service, and known throughout the civil war under the alias of Major Allan," authorized Brady and Gardner, two of the first oper - ators in outside wet plate photography. to enter the lines of the Union army and take photographic negatives of fortifications, encampments, and army movements. Proofs were deposited with the government, while original negatives remained the property of the photographers, who stored them in warehouses. Four years ago. Edward B. Eaton, a prominent antiquarian of Hartford. Conn., came to Washington with a bill of sale transferring the title of .oo of these valuable negatives to his ownership. The property, which was stored in the warehouse at KHP E street N. W., was delivered into his possession, and the historic negatives were removed to Hartford and placed in a vault. The recovery of the negatives created wide interest throughout the Grand Army of the republic and during the discussion. Dr. H. C. McClurg of Dav - enport, Iowa, denounced the authen i ticity of the negatives, stating emphat- 1 ically that wet plate photography was not sufficiently developed during ls!l- ' f5 to take these remarkable negatives. ! The Davenport Democrat and Leader published this statement, which result- ! ed in a suit being brought against that paper for $ro.0O libel and damI ages by Mr. Eaton, Attorneys Clark : and Hutchinson of Des Moiues representing the plaintiff, and Lane and ; Waterman of Davenport, the defendants. J The evidence that developed proved i a revelation. Negatives were produced '. showing President Lincoln on the battlefield of Antietam with Allan Pinkerton. in the tent with General McClellan, and in conference with officers of , the army. It was a decided sensation in grand army circles when negatives were produced showing the interior of Andersonville prison and the hang- , ing of Wirtz, the prison keeper, at : Washington, including negatives of Mrs. Surrat and the Lincoln eonspirai tors hanging on the gallows. Records in the war department 'were introduced to prove their authen-

! ticity. together with a congressional having the symptoms (any of them) ' enactment in which it was shown that of kidney disorders and bad health.

records in American history, but probably the first negatives ever taken in war. The corroborative evidence from all parts of the country became so overwhelming that today the attorneys for tbe plaintiff announced that the defendants had admitted their error. Is sued a clear, frank statement of the authenticity of the negatives In possession of Edward B. Eaton, and made a substantial money payment to cover the damages. Mr. Eaton states that this closes the historical controversy in one of the most Interesting law suits of the times. The tragic phase of these priceless negatives, about which this protracted law suit has been waged, is that Brady. the first of the world's war nVioro mtt ffnannfnl rovarcoa on) u'gc 1 forced' to assign hls proIerty, dving I sfm. ln novertv in a cnarItable institution near New York.

I do not think he even knew where these negatives were at the time of his death. It is one of the tragedies of history." During the suit the negatives attracted the attention of J. Pierpont Morgan, and it is stated that he has had some negotiations by which the collection would come into his possession. In regard to this Mr. Eaton states: "It Is true that I have had negotiations with Mr. Morgan. It may be said, I however, that the negatives will not become his property. Neither are they to go to the museums at Pittsburg or rhlpacn aa has hn IntimatAri I : made a price tQ Mr. lorgan whlc5 he was considering when Herbert Myrlck of Springfield, Mass.. overbid him many thousands of dollars and I ciosed the deal.
