or a division and count It la agreed to
vote by ballot.
Thomas Barrett. Jr., haa ben nominated
for chairman of the meeting in the Phln

Hayne party. Tloketa and ballot boaea

TO IMPROVE ARMY service:.
Gen. Wheeler Makes Some Impor
tant Recommendations.
Chicago, Sept. 23 lmportant recommen
dations for Improving the army service
are made In the annual report of the de
partment of the Bakes made public here
to-day. The report was compiled by Oen.
Joseph Wheeler before his retirement.
"At least four-fifths of the recruits from
this department," reads the report, "have
gone Into foreign service without any tn
rtnietlofia In rifle practice and many of
I hem without having any rides Issued to
them It Is needless to say that these men
are liable to he put on the drlng line be
fore they know how to load and dre their
rides, aside from the fact that they have
n< ver been taught to hit the object al
which they shoot.
The report also recoin men da that a
board of experienced officers be appoint
ed to revlke the course of Instruction at
the Infantry and cavalry ecbool. Some of
the teachings Gen. Wheeler says are not
udapsed to present usage. The report con
tinues:
1 also recommend that speed In march
ing be given considerable attention I
have found from experience tn the Phil
ippines that the quickstep was not tire
some to the men. I hove discovered thag
bv marching dfty-dve minutes and rest
ing dve. troops could easily cover three
ml lea an hour and sometimes even ex
ceed that speed."

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
physlelans often have to exerlcae great
care to avoid becoming Ihe victims of Im
position. If a dishonest applicant tor a
pension can hoodwink some doctor the lat
ter'* certificate may be made the mean*
of perpetrating a fraud upon lh<- govern
ment and nodal parasites who seek to
sponge on public and charitable Institu
tions are always trying to Inveigle a phy
sician Into saying the wont or writing the
line which would gain them admlseon
An Interesting time In point was related
by Ihe leading oculist of Montreal, a man
shies practice extended far outside of the
bounds of the city. One day a young wo
man came Into the office, ocrompanled
by an older woman, apparently the moth
er. The young woman wore colored glass
es. which one might have assumed to he
superfluous, t* It wss claimed that the
girl was totally blind What was want
ed of the doctor wss a certificate authen
ticating thla claim of blindness, putting
It beyond dleput*. and It was frankly stat
ed that th* object In seeking thla wss t
obtain certain able end advantage* of a
philanthropic nature lm|o**lhl* of access
otherwise The standing of the oculist
was such that ti statement from him would
carry full weight wherever presented.
On examination the surface of Ihe eyes
gave no Indication of any effect, but that
might tie so nnd blindness still exist. Ap
plying tests of Ihe strongest light the girl
professed herself to be absolutely unable
to distinguish between light and dsrknees
The doctor w* pouted end bottled Ap
parently the girl was stone blind, but he
was unable to solve the problem of those
eyes, to dls.Over the cause of Ihe blind
ness or say Just where th* defect lay
The doctor was more than half disponed
lo grant Ihe desired certificate, when, as
a last expedient, he hit upon a novel -
perlnnni He dismissed Ihe patient wllh
Inslt ui lions that she should come again
at a certain hour Ihe following day When
ehe rame the doctor had her securely
blindfolded with n heavy lieodage over
her eye* Then he look a liny mouse,
w hleti he hml reedy, and hehl Ihe lively
little thing hy Its tall before the girl’s
face, though not touching her. while he
ordered the bandage to tie removed. No
sisiiier was the bandage off than her
eerenms ran through the plaee and her
eye* were wble with terror al Ihe harm
less little rudent. which hail thrown her
■el completely off her guard and exposed
Ihe Imreisture. Of .nurse ehe saw It or
she would not have screamed Needless
to say Ihe applicant did not gel that cer
