EAR. THAT HE1MAY BE TOO CA E. FUL OF HIMSELF IN DANGER. This Idea Prevails in the 'tinn Station#. But it is Nct Substan lated by OMcors' Records.-Offcerp' ives in the Way at 3Xanna. Married men are only enlis d in the regalar army of the United tates by consent of the Colonel comm. din; the regiment in which they a ly to serve, or by special permissio of the War Department. This reqipremenT is conspicuously posted in the recruit ing stations, and is generally knowni to applicants for enlistment before they appear for examination. Not withstanding all, in the recruitiu station on Third avenue, near- Ninth street, of which Major Whitney is i I charge, at least one hundred men are turned away every week because the acknowledge that they are married. Deception is so often practised that i is guarded against as carefully as it can be; but the precautions are ueces sarily ineffective, and it often hap peis that a married man succeeds in enlisung. Whether or not he joiLs his regiment before his qualification is- discovered in a mere matter u: chance. Men "desiring to enlist in the army of the United States for the term of three years" are required to declare they are not sworn-that "I have neither wife nor 6hild." If it is discovered that a recruit has falsely declared himself single, he i. put under arrest technically, and the department is informed. Action at Washington is prompt and always the same; it is directed that the man be discharged from the service "without honor." This is not a "dishonorable discharge;" but it prevents a nan from again enlisting in any branch of the service at any time and under any circumstances. The recruiting officer is held responsible for the ex p ense incurred by the Government ill - an's case. If it should happen that the recruit safely reaches San Francisco on his way to Manila, he is returned immediately to the recruiting station, and all expenditure on his account is cb.rged up against the officer who accepted him. It is not often, however, that he is detected when so far on his way to his regi ment. er day I found myself with arried man on my hands," Whitney. "He was sent he office at Newark-ar morning, and seemed to sing recruit. In the after fe and mother-in-law turned objection or two, and I fellow in. His excuse was 1 dn't know' a man had to be when I asked him why he join the army, he said h3 nd tired of his mother-in berated him half the time, d to get anyplace away from idn't care much where.

The slen or Whitney calls a "constitutional right" of every man to get married; and enlisted men fol low their own inclination in this re spect. They are discharged, how ever, at the expiration of their en listment time; and if they want to re enlist they must have the consent of their old commander. A man who has done faithful service for fifteen years the colonel wants to keep; so he gives his consent. The form of en - -listment paper is then chang' I; there Sis inserted a clause which .-eleases SGovernment from all resp<.nsibil ity for the wife and family. No claim can be miade by him for a pensi.' on the strength of service; he reduces himself, in fact, to a single man i' the eyes of the Government, and on *this condition only is ho re-enlisted. Wives and children are left at home when the regiment moves; but they can rejoin it when it returns to its post, and there provision is made tor them -involving no expense. Nowadays, *by order of the department, they can buy fuel and provisions at the com missary stores- at cost price to the Government. "That is all the Gos ei-nment concedes to the married en Mated men," 5-<- an oflicer. '"It doesnt want th;. : n the army. It won't accept thea - s recruits; and it discourages single men from being anything else. Obviously, it is a good thing-particenlarly in this time of war. The wife of an enlisted ma'n isn't any use at nll to the regiment; on the contrr-y, she is a restraint on her huisband's daring. A man will think of his wife and child, you knowv, -hen there is danger near." -do not thiuk," said an o.Sier. single onicer put his wife and 'ra his duty on the firing line. -It cannot be shown, I believe, that more deeds of conspicuous'daring were done by bachelors than by mar ried men. Many-in fact, I might say, most-officers in the regular army have wives dependent on them; butit does not appear on the records that their family responsibility held them back from their duty.. Officers' wives, it was said, follow the army as far as it is safely pcs. sible. They took up tjeir station at Tampa, when the Cuban e:pedition was being prepared; and when it left, most of them came North to live wih relStives and fricuid.

Since the advent of General John F. Weston into the office of Commis sary General there 193 been evid aryfGeral therG-he a ordinates i and employe. di the Commissar., Jen e ral's Department. He is loved by everybody. General Weston's army Icareer has been eventful and interest ingly full of exciting incidents, of which the following instance is perhaps as striking as any. It was told by an ofiicer at the Army and Navy Club a day or two ago: "There was in the army no more recklessly daring subaltern than was General Weston in his young days. In 1868, when a lieutenant, he met with General Sheridan on an expedi tion against the Cheyennes. "One evening, after going into camp. a small herd of buffalo was sighted. The lieutenaut had thrown off his saddle and put aside his arms. He caught up his belt. in which were revolver and knife, and leaped upon his bareback hoise. After a race he caught up with a huge bull and emptied his revolver into his side. The bull faced him. Weston was several miles from camp and had no more caitridges. "Determined not to be laughed at, he dismounted and drew his knife. le walked to one side of the bull and the animal turned. He began to run, but the bull kept his lovered head al ways toward him. Ie kept stopping and turning natil the sweat poured from him. At last he managed to get behind the bull and with a leap landed upon his back. "The buffalo, with a snort of terror, dashed forward in a mad, lumbering gallop. The soldier worked his way onto the brute's shoulders, fastened his fingers in the mane and began to hack awav at the throat of the terror stricken buffalo. It took time, but finallv the knife went through the hair and hide. "The brute gave a wheezing, roar ing congh and fell forward, plunging its nose into the earth and throwing the rider fifteen feet in front. Wes ton was bruised and stunned, but the brute was beyond doing him any harm. "In his early youth Weston was for a short time an iron molder in Louis ville, Ky. Recently he visited the city. lis fashionable friends wished to make much of him, but their visitor slipped away, and for a d'y could not be found. He passed that day with an old Irishman, a molder, now re tired." Tho Man Who Couldn't .Ce Flattered. "Now, you," she said, as she turned over the leaves of the boo for which she wanted him to subscribe "are a man whom it would be useles to try to flatter. Do you know she was a sweet, demure looking gir! with those big, sad eyes that seem T look right into one's heart-"do yo know," she went on. "that nine o of every ten men will grant almo. auy favor within their power if o only tickles their vanity? "It is necessary that a person w seeks to earn a living as I am fore to earn mine, shall acquire a knos edge of human nature. I have come so proficient in this study t I can tell at a glance whether it will best to flatter a man or to talk co mon sense to him in order to obta: his subscription.

Sometime during the night she was awakened by something lying across her face and thinking it was the baby's arm, she pushed it away and went to eleep again. In the morning when she awoke, she was horrified to see a large snake coiled around her baby's neck. Its head was elevated and its tongue darted out viciously. Tho mother was paralyzed with fright, but believing that the reptile Iwas about to strike the child, she grasped the snake with her hand near the hesd and threw it from her to the far end of the room. Then she screamed for help. Her husband cme to her rescue and killed the rep tile which was of a brownish hue and very thick in proportion to its length. It is believed to be a copperhead.

Unfortunately this masterpiece was the Indirect cause of its compol er's sickness and death. On Whit Monday "Fiedermaus" was played at the opera. and Strauss was persuaded to conduct the overture himself, as the representation was for charitable pur poses. Doctors: bad forbidden him to undergo any fatigue. as he suffered from chronic affection of the bronchial tubes. The master was always excited while conducting, and had been espe cially warned against any sudden change in temperature. He left the opera in a heated state, took cold and felt ill on returning home. Although. astenishment filled the opera house at; the freshness and vivacity of Herr Strauss. who was 74 years old. and the vigor with which he handled his baton, it scon appeared how weak be was, and. how little fitted his nerves were any longer to bear the fatigue and excite ment of public appearance. He was soon afterward seized with general feebleness. and was unable after that day to leave his room. but nothing sarious was apprehended. He worked, nccording to his custom, during the. night., sometimps till the morning, at 'h- composition of a ballet. "Cinder elle." to be acrTed at the opera house.
