[Special Correspondence.J Under the terms of the new army reorganization bill the president will have at his disposal more Important military appointments than ever fell to the lot of any of his predecessors in office at any one time. This is in con sequence of the great increase In the enlisted strength of the army, with the necessary increase of commissioned officers. The bill as it passed tlie sen ate provides for 22 general officers, 870 staff officers and 2.922 line officers, or a total of 3,814. The minimum en listed strength is 57,870, including 15 regiments of cavalry. 12 regiments of artillery, 30 regiments of infantry, 3 battailous of engineers and miscel laneous organizations. The maximum enlisted strength is 102.258 and is made by increasing the strength of the va rious arms of the service included in the minimum organization. The exist ing permanent army consists of a to tal commissioned and enlisted strength of 31.472. The principal interest in the immense patronage in the president's hands per tains to the selection of the additional general officers provided for by the bill, mainly one lieutenant general, four major generals and nine brigadier generals. The president is entirely un restricted In his selections for these important places. Fun Over Salt Itiver. A little skit about Salt river was overlooked during the rambling debate on the river and harbor bill. Repre sentative David liighbaugh Smith of Kentucky, whose district comprises the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, offer ed an amendment for the survey of "Salt river from its mouth to Shep pnrdsville." Chairman Burton, alert to any changes in his bill, was on bis feet in an instaut. "Is not this the river that Mr. Carlisle said the only way to im prove It was to pave it?" he inquired. The house scented the fun in the pro posed legislation, and there was wild laughter. "1 do not remember, but I suspect he would say that now." retorted Mr. Smith readily, at which there was a further titter. "Is it not true that numerous peo ple who go up that, river do not get down again?" persisted Mr. Burton, with mock solemnity. Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat.

I Mr. Burton concluded not to object, ! and, as the matter stands now, Salt river will be surveyed. Capitol Steps Cram hi in nr. I Considerable criticism Is heard about I the cheap material used in construct ing the stone stairways at the western approach to the enpitol building. Al though tills work has been completed only a comparatively short time, it rapidly is falling into decay, and there are many unsightly spots on the land ings at the west front of the building. Not only is the stone which was used of an extremely perishable nature, I many thin layers having peeled off. leaving unsightly holes about an inch 1 deep and several feet in diameter, but the mortar used has disappeared en tirely In several places, and some of the steps are quite loose aud working ; out of position. It soon will be neces sary to do some of the work over again 1 ami take out many of the large blocks | of stone and replace them with new ones. It is not known who is responsible for this condition of affairs, but it can not be denied the work is of the cheap est character and not at all in keeping with the maguificent structure to which these stairways lead. < hiiM'no In Hawaii, j Attorney General Griggs in an opin ion rendered upon the request of the secretary of the treasury holds: First.—That a person born in the Ha waiian Islands iu 1885 of Chinese par ents who are laborers and taken to Chi na with his mother In 1890 Is entitled to re-enter the territory of Hawaii, where his father still resides. Second.—That the wife and children I of a Chinese person who was naturaliz ed in 1887 in Hawaii and still resides i there are entitled to enter the territory "by virtue of the citizenship" of the husband and father. This opinion is based upon the assumption that the Chinese persons in question, born and naturalized respectively In the Hawai ian Islands, were in fact citizens of the republic of Hawaii under its constitu tion and laws on Aug. 12, 1898, and had not abandoned or lost their rights as such. Tlie Beat Tlionglit. "Consensus of opinion" has been re tired from active service. It no longer I does duty in the expression of senti ment of senate, of house, of committee, at Washington. The phrase now is ! "best thought." Just where and how it I originated would be difficult to tell. But in the corridors ami cloakrooms of the senate the phrase seemed to enter suddenly into general use. "The best thought" of the senate, a senator will gravely inform you, indicates this or | the other thing. I Representative Champ Clark of Mis souri thinks be is gaining some of the • qualifications of a New England Yan ; kee. "John Williams of Mississippi states that a inau is a good Yankee when he can eat pie and cheese," said the Mis sourlan the other day. "And 1 go the cheese." Turning to the waiter, Mr. Clark or dried pumpkin pie and cheese not only for himself, but for little Champ, who was lunching with his father and who enjoys pumpkin pie quite as much as any good, healthy boy can.

Boars the Tho Kind You Have Always Bought t A Chinese Widow •; Tchouaug Tsen of the country of Soung was a learned man who carried his wisdom so far as to detach himself ; from all perishable things. He had avoided the error so common to mankind ;if struggling to acquire useless riches ind vainglories or honors. He must have been profoundly satis fied with his career, for after his death he was proclaimed as happy und worthy of envy. Now, In the days the gods accorded him to pass under green skies amid flow ery bushes, willows and bamboos, Tehouang Tsen was accustomed to walk dreamily through the country. One day, when wandering along the flowery slopes of the mountain of Nam Hoa, he found himself unexpectedly in the middle of a cemetery, where the dead, according to the custom of the country, repose under hillocks of beaten earth. At the sight of these innumera ble tombs, which spread above the hori zon, tho learned man meditated on the destiny of man. "Alas!" thought he. "Behold the highway where all the roads of life end. When once one has taken a place in this resting place of the dead, one never sees the light of day again!" As he was moralizing thus he sudden ly perceived a young woman in mourn ing garb—that is to say, in a long, white, seamless robe of coarse material—seated beside a tomb, fanning with a white fan the enrth of a freshly covered funeral mound. Curious to learn the moaning of so strange an action, Tehouang Tsen salut ed the young lady with great politeness and said: "Madame, dare I ask you without of fense what person is sleeping beneath this tomb and why you give yourself so much trouble to fan the earth that cov ers it? "I am a philosopher and ifiio to know the causes of things, and here is one that escapes me, that 1 cannot even guess at." The young woman continued to move her fan back and forth. She blushed, lowered her head and murmured a few words that the good man could not hear. He renewed his question several times, but in vain. The young woman took no further notice of him, and it seemed as though her very soul had passed into the hand that was so busily moving the fan. Tehouang Tsen went his way regretful ly. Although lie well knew that all is vanity, he was naturally inclined to seek the motive of human actions and partic ularly those of women. This little creature's odd occupation aroused within him n malevolent but live ly curiosity. He continued his walk slow ly onward, but turned his head occasion ally to watch the fan, which still beat the air like the wing of a huge butterfly, when all of a sudden an old woman whom he hnd not seen at tirst, appioa. li ed him and made a sign to follow her. She drew him into the shadow of a mound a little higher than the rest and said to him: "1 heard you ask my mistress a ques tion to which she made no reply. I will satisfy your curiosity, from a natural wish to oblige anil in the hope that you in return will give me the wherewith to buy from the priests a magic paper which possesses the power of prolonging my life." Tehouang Tsen drew out his purse and ! placed a piece of money in her hand, and j the old woman spoke as follows: "The lady that you saw seated beside a tomb is Mme. Lu, the widow of a learned ' man named Tao, who died 15 days ago after a long illness, and the tomb is her husband's. They loved each other most tenderly, and even when dying M. Tao could not reconcile himself to their sepa ration, and the idea of leaving her behind in the world in the flower of her ago and of her beauty was altogether insupporta ble to him. However, toward the end he became resigned, for he was of gentle na ture, and his soul submitted to the inevi table. "Weeping at the head of M. Tao's bod. that she hud never left during his entire illness, Mine. Lu called upon the gods to bear witness that she would never sur vive him, but would share his grave even as she had shared ids couch. "But M. Tao said to her, 'Madame, do not swear such a thing as that.' 'At least,' continued she, 'if I must survive you, if I am condemned by the genii to still behold the light of day when you can no longer see it, know that I will never consent to become the wife of another, and that I will never have but one hus band, the same as I have but one soul.' "But M. Tao said to her, 'Madame, do not swear that.' 'Oh, M. Tao, M. Tao! Let me swear then that for at least five j years I will not think of marrying again.' I But M. Tao said to her: 'Madame, do not swear that. Swear only that you will I keep my memory faithful in your heart I until the earth shall have dried over my grave.' "Mine. Lu took the oath and the good M. Tao closed his eyes never to open i them again. "The despair of Mme. Lu surpassed all bounds. Her eyes were swollen with weeping and her pretty, soft cheeks were | scratched to pieces by her sharp little fin- ; ger nails, but everything passes away, j and the torrent of her grief soon spent its force. "Three days after the death of M. Tao Mine. Lu's sadness had become human. She was told that n young man, a follow- j er of M. Tao's. desired an interview to express the grief and sympathy lie felt on this sad occasion. She thought it would j not be right to refuse him this privilege, and she was correct. She received him with sighs! "The young man was of distinguished hearing and handsome face. He spoke to i her a little about M. Tao and much about herself. lie told her she was charming , and that he felt he loved her. She allow- i ed him to talk. He promised to return soon. In the meantime Mme. Lu, seated beside her husband's funeral mound, j where you saw her, passes her time in drying the enrth which rovers his tomb with the air stirred up by her fan." Wheu the old woman hnd finished her story, Tehouang Tsen thought: "Youth is short, the incitement of de sire gives wings to young women and young men. After all, Mme. Lu is an honest young person, striving to keep her promise. It is an example worthy to pre sent to the white women of Europe."— Exchauge. Itemlntacent.
