GEST POINTERS DO HOT LIKE ARMY LIFE Midshipmen and Ensigns f ' Give Up Commissions For Private Life.

BY RODERICK CLIFFORD. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. -The inCreasing frequency with which young officers who have heen educated at the expense of Uncle Sam, at West Point or Annapolis, with the hope that some day they may become brilliant admirals or generalH, have been handing in their reHignationH before they have performed a day'ti service for the country, is one of the problems confronting the War and Navy Departments. Within the last month elovenmidsblpmen and ensigns have presented their resignations to the Navy Department, with reasons sufficient to cause the department to accept them. Neither Annapolis nor West Point at present has a large waiting list, and where in former years there were fif teen or twenty applicants for entry j there are hardly any now. The War Department's attention was recently called to the large number of enlisted men who have been buying their discharge from the regular army, by Major General Frederick D. Grant, who admitted he was at a loss to explain the reason for the exodus from the service. The War and Navy Departments are worried by the developments in the ituation, and have started investiga- j tloua to ascertain the causes, and determine what steps can he taken to check the increasing number of applications for discharge. There has always been a large number of enlisted men seeking discharge but recently the applications for resignation among the midshipmen and ensigns have been growing by such leaps and bounds, that the problem is becoming serious. If the number of graduates continues to diminish, and the men available for officering the army and navy continue to decrease drastic measures will have to be taken to keep the military and naval establishment up to the standard. The wave of sentiment In favor of universal peace is supposed by some officials to be in part responsible for the resignations. With the probability of war becoming less year by year, officers and privates of the array and sailors and officers of the navy are losing their zest for military service, and civilian are turning their thoughts from war and military service, to different lines of industry. When the summer vacations are over, and the President and his cabinet return to Washington, it is probable that the 'whole subject will be gone over at the White House, with a view to deciding upon some means of meeting the situation. ; The Navy and War Departments have been periodically confronted with Ibis question. of the withdrawal of young officers from the service, particularly at a time when their schooling bas been concluded and they are about to enter upon active service. When it is believed that it would prove unprofitable to retain the young officer, the resignation Is generally accepted. The army does not suffer as much from this cause as does the navy. Each year there are a large number of young officers in the graduating class from Annapolis who find that their careers are checked by seasickness. Major General Leonard Wood, Chief of Staff of the Army, recently refused to permit a young cavalry lieutenant to resign and engage in civil pursuits, because the officer wished to get married. He granted the young officer three months' leave with permission to go beyond the seas and enjoy his honeymoon. Cupid is today feared by the commanding officers of the army and navy. No form of lnocculation has been devised to cure the wounds made by1 the darts of Love's messenger at Annapolis and West Point. Commanding officers In the army and navy who are constantly confronted with this problem, wish there were something to keep the young men away from the wiles of womankind while they are fresh from the restrictions placed on them In the schools. Nearly all of the eleven young midshipmen who have asked that their resignations be accepted so that they may enter civil life, are betrothed to wealthy young women who do not favor their continuing in the service of Uncle Sam. j Cupid has been fought in vain by the officials of both branches. Many young midshipmen secure transfers from the navy to the army when they find upon their first cruise that they re susceptible to seasickness, while others ask for transfers, believing that matrimonial conditions are better. The young wives, as a rule, do not relIsh the idea of having their husbands wander all over the world on long cruises. Then, too, the midshipmen on joining the army is almost immediately advanced to the grade of second lieutenant, and occasionally to that of first lieutenant. This also brings an increase in pay, which is not generally spurned by the young officers. The betrothal of young officers to . Tlcb young women is more often than Sot. the cause of the resignations," aays Major General Win. 11. Carter. In many of the cases which 1 have personally Investigated. I find the parents of the young women prefer to put the young man in business, rather than have him transferred to the Philippines, or some other distant point, upon leaving West Point Academy. The resignations from the army are much fewer than from the navy. This ta due chiefly so seasickness, and slow advancement in that service. The C. H. HADLEY

young man on graduation from the Naval Academy must serve two years before they are granted the rank of ensign, the bill to obviate this having failed to pass congress at the last session. "Therefore, many midshipmen resign from the navy to enter the artillery branch of the army, where they find advancement is more rapid. The young midshipman may become a first lieutenant on joining the artillery, though the majority become second lieutenants, which places them several years ahead of their grade in the navy." All companies in the army are at present short of officers due to the great number of special details. There have been militia maneuvers in all parts of the country, and officers have been detailed to view these, thus drawing about 800 officers from their posts. Major General Carter explains that a certain number of resignations are expected every year, and althoush this year's number has exceeded the usual proportion, he considers it more as a coincidence than a forerunner of an increasing number to be expected in the future.

Amusements Uncle Tom's Cabin. L.ocal Manager Murray has a menu this season that contains many theatrical delicacies which will meet with the approbation of those fussy an'! critical. Perhaps the most palatable being Al. W. Martin's grand revival "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which is uuderlined for the Gennett Monday, October 2. No doubt many who have witnessed minor pi od net ions of the play, and have been successfully buncoed by barnstorming aggregations, will be a trifle timid, harms formed an idea that because once deceived it must be so always. That would be a poor answer to a question. Becauso you happened to be u lover of the canvas back, until some incapable, chef prepared the bird in an unwholesome manner, should you iniagino that you would receive the same at Delmonico's? Theatrical managers and chefs might be classed under tin- same heading they serve public fancy and palate, and must be careful scholars of the art if they choose to hold patrons. "Uncle Tom's Cabin"' has heen 'done" in museums at the rate of ten rimes a day and on one night stands in an hour and a half by five or six people. Being public property anyone who thought they could make a few dollars out of it, has "produced" the play, and this city, as well as the country at large has suffered from the int'lic tion. On the other hand it has boon brought to a scale of magnificence by Al. W. Martin that has caused press, public and pulpit to sing loud its praise. Taking the piece as it was originally, Mr. Martin gives it a dressing of complete and realistic scenery, put the principal roles in the hands of competent actors, engaged a number of negroes to add to the pictures and sing and dance in the levee scenes in fact has done everything to make the performance acceptable to the public. For the benefit of the school children, the matinee will not start until after school. Get Rich Quick Wallingford. There is a laugh raised within the first minute after the curtain is raised on the first act of "Get Rich Quick Wallingford," which Cohan and Harris announce for presentation at the Gennett theater next Thursday, Oct.. 5th. After that the laughter is well night continuous. Geo. M. Cohan, who wrote the piece from George Randolph Chester's book of the same name, might have called his stage version of it "Get Laughs Quick Wallingford." In the dramatic form it is a Cohan musical show without music. Everything and everybody is kept moving so briskly it .well night makes one dizzy. The play is in four acts; the first showing the office of the Battle House in Battlesburg. Here J. Rufus Wallingford arrives and he wakes up the town. He has been a promoter of all sorts of schemes and his operations have been on such an extensive scale that the minions of the law are upon his trail and they have given him the NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE The Finest and Best Known Hair Remedy in the World No Introduction Necessary.

title of "Get Rich Quick Wallingford. Battlesbnrg is a quiet little settlement and Wallingford sees the opportunity to make it a manufacturing city. His suave manner and nimble wit aid him in gaining the confidence of the leading citizens. With no Idea of what the scheme is, Wallingford exploits a carpet tack to match the carpets of the world. He makes ouch headway that his enterprise is encouraged by an investment of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars, the local capitalists falling over themselves to put in their mite. He, of course, retains a controlling interest in the enterprise and has the of the cash. There is

but one complication. His pretty stenographer knows his schemes and she tries to persuade him from going to the bad. Although he has developed a fondness for her, he maintains that he is on the square and by a singular coincidence everything comes his way. He is aided in his schemes by Blackie Daw, who has been his pal for many a day. The fact that the carpet tack industry has gone along so well has created a real estate boom in the town. This all works to the advantage of the hero and by the time the fourth act is reached showing Wallingford's residence two years later, he not only becomes a rnillionairs, but the town is one of the commercial centers on the :nar ricats on sale at the Murra: theater Tuesday, October 3. at 10 o'clock.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30. Jamulal Kiram II., sultan of Sulu, during his visit to New York in September of last year, said when he bade good-bye that among the improvements he would introduce into Sulu when he returned there would be a newspaper and a brewery.

We believe it to be excellent Moro poetry, but not being a poet' ourselves we shall not translate the meter. The theme is the establishment of a new public school at Tunggusung, on Simunul Island, and the advantages of education.

BATHTUBS IN MEXICO, Made ef Cement. They Are a Real Luxury In a Hot Climate. "Unless yon have been in the tropics, remarked the man who bad Just returned from a trip to Mexico, "you can't possibly realize how great a luxury a coll bath can be. It's not that the climate is necessarily warmer than a New York summer, but the natives have worked out the problem of bathing to its ultimate conclusions. They httve invented the ideal tub. "On the great private estates in Mexico baths are in use today which were hewn out of the solid rock centuries ago by slave labor. Tbey are located for the most part in the vlcin ity of running water and are fed by bamboo pipes, but in many cases they have to be filled by the old fashioned method of carrying a bucket to and from the spring. "In the cities the so called stone baths are made of cement. The residences of all well i. do people are proviled with them, and they are a feature of the native hotels. They are asnaiiy about ten f.-t long by four deep- baby swiinuiing tanks, in fact. "Tlio tropica! u-tcm is to fill the baths lato at night By the following
