Hi TALKS Oil TIE (IIMIIu Former Secretary Hakes Strong Statement Deals With the "Naval Parson" in Reply to Letters That Were Scat. WASHINGTON. Dec. 16 The subject of the salary and standing of chaplains In the United States navy has called forth an interesting letter from former Becretury Long. This letter was ad dressed to a naval chaplain who wrote to Mr. Long concerning what he re-K.inl- I un.'nli I iitinent Mr. Long s.ayfi ip doi-K not ihlnk It would be fitting for the clerical profession In the navy to wear the full uniform of a naval ofr fleer. Including sword and military but tons. "As to pay." the former secretary con tinues, "there are many, points In that regard which have escaped your atten tion. The question of pay must depend somewhat upon the .UBual- consideration of supply and aemand and upon the rates paid for like service outside of the navy. For instance, in all our navy, yards the rates of pay for skilled labor are based upon the rmcs of pay of private estab lishments In the neighborhood. Bome thliiK of be same principle necessarily applies to iiitvul ofilcer. SALARIES. "With regard to chaplains, for in stance. I should be glad id huve you advise me what is the average pay of clergymen at large throughout the fnlted States, and aJso what was the highest salary paid any present naval chaplain prior to his appointment. The pay of a chaplain Is now, as you say, 2'?0J,J shore au1 2.i0u.t sw Vr hls first five years. Am I wrong in as suming that this Ih two or three times the average salary of a clergyman ut lurge? 1 believe it to ih more espec ially counting the retired pay for life, medical attendance unl some other mat ters than the average pay. not only of clergymen, but of teachers, some clnsHfs of Judicial officers and many other pro fessions. We have in the navy yards some of the most skillful master me chanics who do not receive as much compensation. We have a numerous clerical force of expert, skillful, com petent men. some, of them graduates of colleger, and yet very few of them have $2,000 a year. Nor do any of these classes "have 'retirement pay for life, which the corps of naval chaplains has, and which IS a great pecuniary return. This retired pay they have not only after orrSving at 62 years of age, but at any ber9 thit ag-s if rtire for impaired health. TUB COMPLAINT. "I regret, therefore, that you should speak 'of the present pay table as a re flection' upon naval chaplains and a 'blow at their self-respect." ' It seems to me that this is a frame of mind which is not to be commended. The charac ter of the chaplain and his self-respect certainly do not depend upon the ques tion whether bis salary is somewhat more or less than that of other officers. or whether It Is paid on an unchanging scale or on a system of longevity in creases. If there were anything in his posltlpn that Is regarded as reflecting upon him or his self-respect, it would oe Impossible to account for the fact that the department is overwhelmed with ap plications for it, of wnlch there are hun dreds on file, while the medical corps, which you represent as better treated, lias not been full for years. In the corps of chaplains I have not known of a res ignation from it on the ground that the pay is insufficient or that the position impairs self-respect. "Have you further had In mind, both as a matter of commensurate pay and as affecting the question of self-respect, that navy chaplains nave considerably larger salaries than the army chaplains who begin with Si. 800. and after 20 years receive a maximum of 12.800? in the line of the marine corps the sea pay of a second lieutenant Is $1,400, a first lieutenant $1,600, and a captain $1,800; a major has $2,600. Air these officers; even with the five years longevity In creases, which cannot, pass beyond a certain limit, receive at the most less than the. sen pay of a chaplain, who has only one longevity Increase. Moreover, as the list now stands many lieutenants will never reach the rank of major, and some not even that of captain, before their retirement" aaoKxaAx nr m sekati. (Washington Post.) Oen. RuBsell A. Alger of Michigan will be the third ex-secretary of war in the Senate. Senators Proctor and Elklng have each served In that capacity. With the exception of Senator Hawley of Connecti cut he will be the most prominent Union soldier in that body. Senator Hawley ranks him by service as major-general. With, the exception of Senator Burrows, he Is the only Union soldier the Repub licans of Michigan have ever elected to the United States Senate. General Alger's career thus far strongly resembles that of Gen. Lewis Cass, the fa. moua Michigan statesman of ante-bellum period. Both went from Ohio to Michigan and each became wealthy and eminent in the latter state. General Cass entered the Senate In 1845 at the age of 63. General Alger Is now 66. General Cass was a brigadier-general In the war of 1812 and General Alger in that of 186J-65. Each had been governor of Michigan and Secre tary of War before coming to the Senate. General Cass was an unsuccessful candi date for the Democratic Presidential nom ination before he became a Senator, and General Alger's effort to secure the Re publican nomination in 1888 Is well remem bered.' General Cass was Jackson's war secretary in the stirring days of nullifica tion and General Alger was Secretary of War under McKlnley during the Spanfsh War. General Alger's fine home Is in the Immediate vicinity of the Bite of the old Cass mansion. . To complete the analogy between their careers it is only necessary that' General Alger should yet become. Secretary of State and live to the green old age of 84. Two Phases Presented.

I (Journal Special Service.) ! DAYTON. O.. Dec 15. The strange i story of how Edna. Ryan, the notorious ! woman horse rustler, put on the garb of l respectability, entered society, married ; and for two whole weeks enjoyed' nup ; i.al felicity In her own way, has come ' to light here in a suit filed for divorce by nenry Schlek, her dupt and victim. The weung occurred June 16 of the j present year, the separation 14 days later and the divorce cannot come too : soon to suit the disgraced and deserted j husband. ! Beautiful, dashingly arrayed and with ' an assumed and captivating manner of ' meekness. Edna Ryan, horsethief and jailbird, conveniently donned the name i of VVlstler and entered society In this city. She posed as a f young woman i from the country and she posed well. WAS LOVED AND WEDDED. At a reception given in her honor Miss Wlstlcr met Henry Schick, who at once succumbed to her charms and laid siege ! to her heart. Coy, country maiden as , she professed to be she capitulated and ! after a short courtship the two were wed. Schitk had fitted up a neat little home and thither they went. Immeaiately there Was a change. Kept forcibly In check for several month the hostile nature of Miss Edna, now Mrs. Schlek. jat Tpnce bursty the .Tfitfttlmohlal' t&unaSf'aTMi "vWereJl were" things doing. Oaths, rendered bitter by long storage, were unbottled and turned luosc and her husband found himself su.iii'cted to such a tirade of abuse as he hud never heard before. S.-urcely ban Mrs. Sch leg entered her new homo before she cast aside the flimsy mantle of respectability that long hJid bound her helplessly. One of her first ;iets was to Inform her husband that she was not his wife, huving mar ried him under an assumed name. Lik ing the look of horror that overspread litH countenance she then related how she had ridden the range in male attire and hud serveJ a term in Jail. During this time she wus the mistress of a horse thife. a man named Ermy. SHE GLORIED IN IT. Mrs. Schlek had a past, and gloried In It. After deta...ng wha.. she had been arid giving n very ' good . idea of what' she still remained, the woman undertook to thrash her husband and succeeded admirably. Various .articles tt furni ture were brought into use as missiles and with an unerring aim she launched them at the head of her fooled and fud dled lord. After two weeks of this life had passed the woman grew tired of her new diversion and reserted her home. Since that time she has not been heard from. Her husband waited patiently and fearfuy for her to return. She did not come, so he has sued for a divorce from Edna Ryan, although he married Edna Wistler. POUffTED PARAGRAPHS. (Chtcago Dally News.) Tact teaches men when, to be silent. ,. The less some men have the more they don't seem to want. ' A woman can have only one past, but she Is not limited as to presents. One sure way to lose your friends Is to become a chronic kicker. It matters not what your ancestors wre: It Is what you are tfmt counts.

Possession may be nine pottits of the law, but self-possession is a law unto Itself. W.hen a young man tells a girl he Isn't worthy of her love she Is foolish to doubt it.

In Louisville, Ky., recently declared: "The marital relations at common law between husband and wife and. their prop erty rights have been abolished in Ken tucky by statute. The doctrine of unity of persons of the two is abolished. The doctrine of merger Is revised and the gray mare is the better horse, "In every legal contest between hus band and wife he is the under dog in the fight. If she have an estate and he none he is a pensioner on her bounty, and It is only ex gratia he may enter the back door of her mansion. "I know a matron' heiress sailing In her yacht in the Mediterranean Sea, while her husband Is in the poorhouse. He Is not entltidto -hag. personal property, nor to her rents, nor to her earnings, nor to anything that is hers, and Is not even al lowed to give her a mild Blaokstonian chastisement to keep her in a good hu mor. "The common law baron la dethroned and the feme enthroned In every legal right and advantage over him. Dower and courtesy are abolished In Kentucky. Notwithstanding the total disruption of marital status of property rights of hus band and wife at common law, the poor fellow Is still liable for her torts, her gossip and her Spring and Fall hats and a fortiori for her necessaries whether furnished by the state. If she Is insane, or by some other man, if she is not in the asylum." Judge Toney also declared that prize fighting in Kentucky cannot be prevented by Injunction. . THE POST FOR PHILADELPHIA. (Wilmington, Del., Republican.) The Chester Times has an editorial on the subject of the advisability of establishing the whipping post and pillory in Pennsylvania for the punishment of assailants of women. A woman, writing to the Times, urges the adoption of the whipping post and pillory, and the Times makes this comment. "Many people will agree with this woman that the Delaware method of punishing criminals has its advantages, but it has always been found that when the Legislature of the state (Pennsyl vania) has been face to face with the proposition, there has been a feeling 'of' revu Is ton against ' th presence of such an act on the statute books of the state, a feeling voiced, by a large con stituency; so the effort to secure the en actment of the law has failed. ' Never theless, the assailant of women and girls deserves Just such punishment and de serves to have the lash laid on hard." The punishment suggested might be of great benefit in preventing such deeds. We Make Bad teeth Good That's our business. Let as examine your teeth. No charge if the teeth need no at tention.

The Scranton j Coal Company, belonging tb the Ontario Western Railway, filed its wage state ment this morning. Last year It op erated nine collieries and the average an- I nual earning of its miners was $539 whlld I the laborers averaged $313, The engineer! drew H.'ZOO a year, and the breaker boyi $150 a year. Former Congressmen Brumme ano Kearney, of " Shamokin, now lawyers, were brought Into the case- today to as sist Darrow. After hearing two miners' testimony, Mitchell was called to the stand to tell the methods employed in determining the difference in wages between anthracite and bituminous miners. Attorney Torrey, for the operators, declared the figures were unfair and misleading. Darrow introduced a number of miners as witnesses against the Philadelphia and Reading conditions. Counsel Burns., for the Independent op erators, endeavored to lead Mitchell Into a trap by asking him if the operators made a contract with his organization, would he have power to protect the non union men now working. Mitchell said If the operators would meet the miners in a joint conference, he would take up the question, but as long as they refused he could not say whether he would be able to protect or not. He said he would not admit that the union miners were re sponsible for any violence to non-unionists. . TWO KILLED. CLEVELAND, O. Dec. 15.
