Promotions From the Ranks Recom mended-A Favorable View of the National Guard— Coast Defenses Needed—Facts About Ordnance- Estimated Army Expenses. Washington, Nov.lt>.—The following are extracts from the annual report of the Secretary of War. With reference to lineal promotion, ha says: By the act of Oct. 1, 1890, promotions below the rank of a general officer are hereafter to be made liueally throughout each arm of the service. The operation of the law is postponed in the case of present first lieutenants only. Whatever advantages there might have been m the old system of regimental pro motion, they were such as would prevail in a large army rather than in a small one, and in war than in time of peace. On their present basis it eertaiuly could not increase the esprit de corps of individual regiments. The change is one eminently just to officers, and is fittingly inaugurated in connection with its companion measure in the same act. PROMOTIONS FROM THE RANKS. I would recommend a change in the law relative to the selection of enlisted inea for appointment to the grade of second lieuten ant. The act of June 18, 1878, providing for the promotion of meritorious non-com missioned officers, makes a favorable recom mendation from u company comniandor an essential qualification for examination. This requirement to a great extent defeats the purpose of the statute, by making the privilege depend absolutely upon the dis cretion of the officer for the time being in command of the company. COAST DEFENSE. !t has been our traditional policy from the first to avoid entangling alliances. The military resources of the nation have been so recently demonstrated and its network of railways is so adapted to a rapid concent ra tion of troops on any threatened point, that no hostile force is likely to seek an encoun ter with us on our own soil. A small army sent upon our shores could not hope for success; it is not probable that any lergo one will incur the risk. We have, there fore, little to fear from invasion, and are free from the necessity of maintaining large standing armies or of fortifying against land attacks. But our long coast line is peculiarly ox posed to an attack from tho sea. So long as an enemy can reach vulnerable points without exposing himself to our land forces he may inflict blows which we are unable to parry, and which may oause losses ill to be endured. No great civiliized nation to day lias more j list causa than ours to look well to the condition of its coast defenses, and none, since the civil war, basso wholly neglected them. It is a matter of congratu lation that this national deficiency is begin ning to excite the attention it merits, espe cially as time, even more than money, is necessary for its proper preparation. A modern land battery constitutes a permanent defense upon a battlefield, chosen in advance, where no flanking is possible and where an enemy must force his way or abandon the attack. In such a contest ships of war are placed under every disadvantage. The channel is selected where their deployment is difficult, while they are at the center of a concentrated fire from many dispersed guns. Modern in ventions in the use of electricity, high ex plosives, and in rifled mortars, have resulted strongly in favor of the comparative resist ing strength of land fortifications as ajainst a naval force. They cannot be blown up by dynamite nor sunk by vertical fire. They can support any weight of armament, and can protect themselves by anv weight of earth or stone or iron. For accurate aim they have the solid earth for a foundation. They also have the co-operative aid of our own navy, of torpedoes, and submarine mines, and other accessory means of defense. When our principal cities, our harbors ancl our navy yards axe thus protected, then our coasts will be safe, and our navy and our increasing commerce will have safe ports of refuge, where they can be repaired, recoaled and refit'.ed, ORDNANCE. In the matter of armament a fair and promising beginning has been made. The gun factory at Watervliet arsenal has already turned out completed steel guns of S.o, 3.8, Sand 10 inches caliber, which have been entirely satisfactory so far as their have proceeded. The 3.2-inch breech -1 adir.g field-gun meets with general approval in service, and the firing tests of the 8 and 10 inch typo guns manufactured at Watervliet have given excelleut results, both as regards accuracy and range, and ha.ve satisfactorily demonstrated the capa bility of the gun factory to turn out modern high-power rifled s:eei guns equal to the very best. DESERTIONS. The cumber of desertions from the army twe ‘ Vo months ending Sept. 30 were -..USo, ns against 2,751 for the same period last year, a decrease of 24 per cent. This resuit is due to such improvements in the strvi Crf as could be accomplished under gr isting legislation. The act of congress en titled ‘An act to prevent desertions, and lor other purposes,” approved Junm, IS9O, was passed too late to have bad much effect up to this date. Because of the time re quued to work out its details, the general orders to carry it into operation were not jailed tul J U iy o oj and CJuld hardly be— mo fully effective at once. The figures, owever, for August and September were ** compared with 459 for the same aths lost year and 515 the year before, a decrease of 33 and 40 per cent. NATIONAL GUARD. °.

Oh, yes, >et*rs and artists and th 9 wholo Bohemian <w>fld of Paris are included in her "cerc*. r but as these ail dabble in ink, the word”journalist” came easily handy. Mine Phillippe is the oonceiver, miter and /repogator of tho wonderful headgear for vhich the demi-monde of Paris is famous thraghout the world. Notjone member.of thnwtrangciy inclusive society of the pret ties and wittiest women in the world but patonizes Mother Phillippe. From her desgns the greater (because more widely knwn in polite society) modistes gieau thtr best ideas. 1 a thousand ways remarkable, in none is tie more so than in her fidelity to the cl<3 whence she sprung and among which today she has her only and moat lucrative clsntelle. Somewhere about fifty-two years ago she node her first appearance literally upon te pavement of Paris, born into tho life ter mother once led. Phot ancient dame till lives, but of her more anon. Phillippa that is her real name) grew into a remark ibly pretty young woman, who, with a riew to future business, doubtless, had been aught to read aud write, aud had been ap prenticed by her mother to one of the first uodistes in Paris. Here she developed a aste for millinery and a facility with her Ingers second to none in the gay capital, |nd which has not diminished with her ■ears. Hhu also fell in love, and, moreover, trange to say, the love has in no wise liminißhed either. It was a mutual affair. Only the social positions of the two parties placed matri mony out of the question. The young man was an officer in the army, thfison of one of the richest families in France. The name, however, is dead now. The man is M. Phillippe, better known as Pare Phillippe. He ruined himself ror’Phillippa. Every penny of his patrimony was spent on bonnets, dresses, horses, houses, furni ture, gaiety for the pretty milliner who had captured his heart. She came of an improvident stock. He did not tell her how tho money was going. She expressed a wish. He saw that it was fulfilled. His eyes were wide open; he knew perfectly well wfcat he was doing. She had not the slightest idea where it would all lead to; she thought, perhaps, that it would last forever. One fine morning the crash came. Everything was gone. The young officer had literally given her everything. He had not a sou in the world, nor an inch of land to raise one upon. Then it was Phillippe’s turn. “4JI gone 1” she cried “What! you have spent everything you had upon me! All this because you loved me! Wait; yon shall see that I, too, can love.” That day she returned to her bonuet makiug. With the money she could raise out of property given to her by him she took a shop in the Rue de la Cbanssee d’Au tin, and started upon her own account as modiste. Her friends in her own world patronized her, and soon, one by one, these women, whose business does not allow them to be rivalled in the matter of dress, came to know that at Mme. Pliillippe’s al ine could they obtain tbe exact style of headgear that they wanted. How did she keep U3r promise to the man ? “You must help, you know,” she said, and very soon her trade was so immeuße that a bookkeeper was absolutely necessary. He has several clerks under him now. He is, moreover, an old man and is getting past woi k, but he and she are true to their first love. The ruined gentleman is tho gentle man lover still to ttie ugly, fat old milliner who makes bonnets for the cocottes, who smokes six or seven strong Havana cigars and drin ks on an average sixteen or eighteen glasses of ab'intho every day. And she has never had another lover. Her mother is also one of her quaint fam ily. An old, yes, aad a pretty old woman of nearly 80 live;in a little room at the top of the house. The sun comes in at the win dow nearly all day long, the friwors on the tiny balcony outside give a fresh and sweetly scented air to the apartment. A maid—herself a cocotte. for they are all of the same persuasion in this strange house— waits on this old lady only and keeps her room, which she never leaves, clean and neat. And tbe pretty little old woman, who has every want lovingly attended to, but does a little sometimes, as much for amuse ment as anything else, toward the decora tion of a hat or bonnet, is Mere Phlllippe’s mother. The concierge is an uncle, the porter who carries the new hats the apartments in the Rue Pigalla or the flat3 in the Champs Elysees is another uucle. Mere Piiillippe has made pensioners of them all. Sf She has rather more than au incipient mustache and beard, this strange old woman; her skin is wrinkled and spotted like that soft, yellow leather they make cushions and shoo tops of in Morocco aud Algiers; she wears a white camisole and a short satin petticoat always; she sits on ner great throne-like chair, her fat, wrinkled fingers, arms and neck and ears blazing with jewels, she is never without the great cigar in her mouth —she smokes it like a man, stuck in the corner of her mouth— and there is always a glass of absinthe be side her; upon her lap, her fingers busily engaged upon its feathers, laces and rib bons is her greatest oreation, a hat to be wore at the Molin Rouge by some coming premiere; sometimes she wears stockings, at others not, but her feet are encased in loose, comfortable slippers aad rest upon a stool, aud no one nos ever seen Mere Puil- lippe out of temper. Such is Mme. Fhillippe. Her ateliers are the rendezvous between the hours of 3 and 6 of artist3, actors and those bright and witty journalists who writ for papers like the Echo de Paris , the Oil Bias, tbe the Chat Soir. Here they m the best and tho worst of the demi-monde. They food out to a uei <la boring restaurant for their absinthe, their petit verre or their mazagran, and they talk and listen to the latest scandals of themonde —not their demi-monde, but of the vie mondaino. In the rooms of Mere Phiilippe were first told some of tbe raciest stories of Aurehon School, Arrnand Sylvestre. Camille Lemon nler, but they wore told to them, not by them. Presently, with a little dishing up by the master hand, they are read on the boulevards and at the cafes, lathe Oil Bias or the Echo de Paris, and while wondering at their fidelity to life people wonder still more where their authors got them from. They heard them told at Mere PhUl.ppe’s, and they are really founded on fact. The goodness of Mme. Pbillippe has be come proverbial in her strange world. When some poor girl is in trouble, no mat ter of what kind, the knows see will not hove to plead to “mo pe'ite msre” in vaiu.

An Old Engineer Tells of Several Very Narrow Escapes. From the W ashington Star. A justice of tho supremo court is not more taciturn than the average railroad engineer. And, not unlike the eminent jurists, when once his habitual reserve is cast aside he is a veritable mine of anecdote and wit. A Star reporter one afternoon during the past week ran across one of tneso “Knights of tho Throttle" in the neighborhood of the “round house” on Virginia avenue, and, as luck would have it, the “Salvation car,” as the pay car is designated in the railroaders’ parlance, had just arrived, aud he was iu a good humor and talkative. “Come, John, you won’t go out on your run for two hours yet. Tell mo about some of the tight places you’ve boeu in since be coming an engineer.” “Well, young man, wo don’t like to talk about those things, but, as you appear to be anxious for a story, I don’t mind telling you one.” “Tell me about that long red scar there under your chin. That must have been quite a wound.” “That was rather a hard one, but when I received it it was a small affair in compari son with my other breaks and bruises. As you know. I’ve pulled a throttle on the Bal timore anclji ’otomae road ever since the first rail was laid. Railroading to-day is child’s play to what it was theu. Now our greatest risk is a broken rail or axle; then it was a dozen different things to koeP us alert, chief among them being washouts, insecure trestles, and mistakes j u telegraph orders incidental to a single track read. Over work also played n prominent Part, and it was owing to the latter faot that this scar adoms my meat chopper. It was dtirine tho busy days of the in augration of Garfield, and all the sleep the boys had secured for a week was onlv cat naps. I was coming north, out of Wash ington, on the evo of Inauguration day, and ex-President Hayes occupievd a private car on the rear of my traiu. The cars were crowded to their fullest capacity, and. with this responsibility upon me, I believe I oould have done without sleep for a month. All the gars were in Washing ton or bound north, the en gines coming south generally being empty—that is, being without cars. The engineers of these empty engines would mo mentarily relax their vigilance, owing to the lesser responsibility, and it was during one of these moments that I got into the tightest place and received the closest call of my life. I received orders to pass two empty engines ooming south at Severn, a small telegraph station about thirty miles north of Washington, and that they would take the siding for me. Mv engine was doing nicely and wo wore licking it along at a prottv lively gait, when, just as I turned the Severn curve, flip! bangl came the two engines int> me, and when I woke up two weeks had passed, an engineer and baggagomastor had been buried, three locomotives and half a dozen oars smashed into splinters, and I lay on my back in tho hosoitd with a leg, an arm and three ribs broken, and my under jaw almost torn off. The engineer of one of the south Ixiund engines had relaxed his vigilance for hardly more than a minute, run by his siding, and his life paid the forfeit. “Why didn’t I jump? Holy smoke, young fellow, that never entered my mind. I re versed ray engine, put on tho air, and by that time we were piled up and 1 was un conscious. The good Lord only knows why my railroading days didn’t end there, but they didn’t, and I flatter myself 1 can make time with any of the boys.” “How about the little accident ont at Mc- Gruder’s curve; weren’t you mixed up in that affair? It occurred a good while ago, but I never heard t':e particulars.” “Well, I should say I was mixed up in the affair. In all my years of railroading that wa? the luckiest accident with the queerest trimmings I have ever known. The little details that I am going to tell you iu con nection with the affair came to me some time after their occurrence. “This time I was coming south on the New York express, and was duo in Wash ington at 11:30 o’clock at night. I had about twelve cars well filled with passen gers behiud ine. At that tlmo there was a telegraph station about a quarter of a mile north of the curve called ‘ Wilson’s.' The express generally had a dear track, and or ders were never given it only wheu of great importance. Owing to this facr it made very fast time,and at that point usually ran about forty or forty-five miles on hour. As I swung in sight of this lonely little watch box I saw that the red signal was down, and after a fierce pull at the whistle I re versed the lever and put on tho air. We came to a stop in a hurry, and thinking orders were awaiting mo, I made a break for the office to secure them without losing any more time than necessary. “Pushing open the door I saw tho opera tor lying back In his chair, as I thought fast asleep. There was a strong odor of coal gas in the room, but in the heat of passion at what I thought was a case of neglect of duty, I paid no attention to this, but grabbing him by the collar of his coat, I yanked him out of the chair on to the floor. As he was a little slow coming around I caught up a bucket of water and threw the contents over him, bringing him to his senses instanter. “‘ W here’s my orders? What’s the red down for?’ I shouted in his ears. “ ‘There’s no orders. I must have gone to sleep or fainted. Everything’s all right,’ he replied in a dozed sort of way. “With an oath—l used to s wear then—l rushed hack to my engine, whistled for a flagman, and pulled out, vowing veDgeance on that operator in the shape of a report to the superintendent upon my arrival at Washington. That report never went in. “I had gotten my train under way and was going only about five miles an hour when, just as wo swung around McGrudor’s curve, the track sank under me, and with a loud crash and a splintering of buffers we came to adead stop, with tbe front part of my engine sunk about three feet below the track in the mud and gravel. There i a dangerous auickinnd there and it had washed about fteon fost of the earth away from under the track. Owing to our rate of Rpeed, a good shaking up was about all we got, but suppose for one minute that that red s gnal had not been down ou us at Wilson’s. They’d have picked us aH up in pieces, as I would gone into that bole at tho rate of about forty miles an hour. “Both the day and night operators at Wil son’s were practical jokers. A idea struck tbe day man, and climbing noise lessly on to tbe roof of the office he placed a board over the chimney, shutting off the draught of the stove. After performing this brilliant feat he went home for a night’s rest, resolving to learn next morn ing the result of his machinations. Tbe stovo door was partly open, tbe gas from the coal was forced out, it soon filled the room, and had I not been stopped by the red signal the chances are the boy would have been smothered to death. Bo you see the multiplication of circumstances en gendered by that practical joke, although it nearly killed one person, saved my life and many more behind me.” Astf Grimblk lodored), died in New Orleans last week, at tbe reputed age of 102 years. “She was at one time a servant in the employ of Uen.

Different Method® of Following the Injunction “Love One Another.” Do men ever fall In love with each other ? Women do. Not long ago a young woman in New Jersey was married to a youth ful laborer on her father’s farm. Some time afterward it was dis covered that the husband was a female; the young wife refused, however, though earnestly entreated by her friends, to give up her choseu consort. The strangest port of the discovery was the fact that the bride kuew her husband was a woman before she was led to the altar. If men do uot exhibit this strange infatu ation for oue of their own sex, they at least oftentimes give evidence of the fact that they love one another. There ure many in stances on record where one man has given his life for another. There are mnuy more instance® where men have given life to an other. It is a proud possession—the knowledge that ono has saved a precious human life. Meriden, Conn., is the home of such a hap py man. John H. l’reston, of that eity, July 11th, 1890, writes: “Five years ngo l was taken very sick, 1 bad several of the best doctors, and ono and all called it a complication of diseases. 1 was sick four years, taking proscriptions prescribed by these same doctors, and I truthfully state I never expected to get any bet ter. At this time, I catntnenwd to have the most terrible pains in ray back. One day an old friend of mine, Air. R. T. Cook, of the firm of Curtis ife Cook, advised me to try Warner’s Safe Cure, as he bad been troubled tho same way aud it had effected a cure for him. I bought six bottles, took the medicine as directed and am to-day a well man. I am sure no one ever had a worse case of kidney and liver trouble than I had. Before this I was always against proprietary medicines, but not now, 0b.n0." Friendship expresses itsoif in very pecu liar ways sometimes; but the true friend is the f i lend in need.
