Indeed, when the French Ambassador visited the St Louis Exposition alone by reason of the fact that Madame Jusse rand was prevented from accompany ing him because of an abscess on her forehead It was the first time In their married life that they had ever been separated, even for a few days.

PACIFIC SQUADR0N 1S A MODEL POR HANDLING THE GOVERN AI EST'S TROOPS. Private Steamship Companies Said to be Unequal to the I ask ol 1 rans- porting boldier boy»— The Lost »» Greater. Along the raclfic Coast the army transport service in operation with the Philippines and intermediate points, is not regarded with favor. Private bteaiuship companies covet the busi ness which is now being done by the dozen and a half vessels making up the transport fleet. During the last fiscal year the Sheri dan, Sherman, Thomas, Logan and Dix carried to Honolulu, Guam and Manila 31,000 passengers, 115.000 tons of freight, 860,863 pounds of United States mall, and $2.478,000 In United States money, besides a considerable amount of Philippine pesos coined in the San Francisco mint; and In Jan uary, 1906, the schedule was doubled, that is. Instead of one sailing a month there are now two. The army prefers to do Its own frel ht and passenger business on e Pacific for the following reasons: Primarily, private companies secur ing contracts could not furnish the ser vice desired without specially con structed vessels, an expense which, though demonstrated absolutely neces sary by experience, they would not undertake owing to the uncertainty of the traffic. Secondly, the present service Is found more economical, the cost of operation last year amounted to $750,- 000 less than the lowest estimate pre sented by any of the private con cerns bidding for the business. Lastly, the exigencies of the service which might at any moment demand the rapid transportation of large ship ments of troop« and supplies would necessitate the holding in reserve of a considerable number of vessels, an Impossibility to a private steamship company which Is forced by competi tion to operate with strictest economy. COMBINED COMFORT AND CAPACITY. In explanation of the first of these rensons—the average transport Is a type of marine construction peculiarly Individual. While exteriorly It has all the appointments of a modern ocean going steamer. It differs essentially In its Interior arrnngeinent. The trans portation of largo number« of troops across an ocean distance of 7,000 miles, the greater part of this mileage lying wllliln the tropics, demands the l»est possible ventilation and sanita tion. The sleeping accommodations for soldiers arc between decks, and the entire space allotted for this purpose Is often from end to end. Metal lierths in tiers of three, one above the other, make the place resemble a giant honeycomb. Sbower baths, read ing and ft-creatlon rooms are pro vided, and a regularly equipped hos pital with isolation wards la In charge of a surgeon and assistants drawn from the nrmy Medical Corps and the Hospital C oris . These quarters are bark in fifteen days. Assuming this ratio, it would require, to strike the first quick blow of a fore« correspond ing to our present military establish ment, the entire shipping on the At lantic and more than the entire ton nage of the l’acllic.” It Is doubt ful if» any private line would care to hold enough ships In reserve to trana- I'ort two divisions on a fortulght’a notice. The Quartermaster General gave It, as his opinion that, "In view of the futile efforts of the Quarter master's Department to obtain suit able transports from the merchant marine in 1898 for the transportation of the army to Cuba, and of the further fact that when withdrawn from regular line service the trans port h can not l>e advantageously dls- posed of, owing to their peculiar In terior construction. It would be wise policy to retain a sufficient number of boats as part of the equipment of the army, to be economically cared for and kept In such condition as to be prompt ly available for any emergency which may arise requiring the transportation or troops on the ocean.” Since the whisper of trouble In the Orient, two first class troopships have been held at anchor In Manila Bay, and until Janu ary nd the freighters of the transport service were out of active service, with the exception of the Dix. PACIFIC FLEET A MODEL. The army has built up Its Pacific transport fleet after long and trying experience, and It Is generally conced ed that the vessels are models of their kind. Representatives of foreign governments have asked for and re ceived copies of the specifications. The transportation of live stock has been fruitful of disasters. The first consignment, of mules shipped to Man ila was a source of grent anxiety. Every precaution was taken, and fi nally the fatal precaution of belly banding the animals caused the loss of all but one. who became known In Manila as the hundred thousand dol- Inr Jack. The rest all died of the un accustomed exercise of swinging on their stomachs. LEARNS LANGUAGES IN JAIL. Berkmane, Who Tried to Kill Henry C. Frick, Become« Linguist. When Alexander Bcrkmann left the Allegheny County prison In May last, after having served fifteen years for an attempt to kill Henry O. Frick, the coke and steel magnate, he found himself able to converse fluently In eight languages. The years behind prison bars have converted him from an avowed an archist to a student nnd philosopher. Many persons have forgotten both Berkmann and Ills crime, yet they startled the nation during the days of the grent Homestead strike of 1892. Mr. Frick was one of the managers of the steel Industry when It grappled In the gigantic struggle with Its work men. Berkman.» was so radical, at the other end of the scale, that be was classed as a loading anarchist. During the excitement of the Indus trial controversy Berkmann found his way Into the Pittsburg offices of Mr. Frick, reached that magnate's pres ence and ahot him twice, then attempt- row of Dewberries.......... 100 feet long.
