A French engineer named Berlier is the author of the scheme, and he believes that the construction of a submarine tunnel from Vaqueros Bay, in Spain, to Tangier, in Morocco, is perfectly feaaible, as the 'depth of the sea in this vicinity does not exceed 1,300 feet. The submarine length of the tunnel would be nearly twenty miles, the entire length being somewhat more than twenty five miles. It is proposed to establish railway connection in Europe by means of a line following the Spanish coast and passing through Tarlfa and Algeciras.

It is assured by taking Hood's Sarsapa rilla, which acts directly and peculiarly on the blood.

This statement is proved by thousands of unsolicited testimonials. "My little boy had scarlet fever, which left him in a very bad condition. He could not walk and his face was a mass of sores.

Depew is getting to be an old man. If anyone doubts it let him read the speech which the junior Senator made in Albany on Wednesday, at the unvailing of his portrait in the Secretary of State's office in the Capitol. Mr. Depew was Secretary of State from 1863 to 1865, ana he has had a portrait of himself painted from a photograph taken in 1864 when he was 29 years old. This would make him 65.

But it is not because of the number of his years that one must conclude he is but because he has fallen in the habit of telling reminiscences of his earlier life, and Indulging in philosophical reflections. He told of the way ha succeeded in getting the assistance of Secretary Stanton in collecting the vote of the New York soldiers in 1864. Stanton would pay no attention to his requests until Senator Washburn interested President Lincoln, who appreciated the importance of having the 300,000 New York soldiers cast their ballots. When his term of office expired he was offered the position of Minister to Japan at $8,000 a year and perquisites and he accepted it. But about that time Commodore Vanderbllt wrote tc him: "There is nothing in politics, railroads are the great business of the future for a young man don't be a fool." Mr.

Vanderbllt offered to make him attorney for the Harlem Railroad at 52,000 a year, and the work was not so heavy that he could not build up a private practice. He accepted Vanderbllt's offer and resigned the commission to Japan. Mr. Depew has said all this before, but he has not concluded it as ha did on Wednesday, with the following reflections which are never indulged in till i man begins to think more of the past than of the future: "So "there is a divinity which shapes all our and as I look back at those periods of my life I have nothing to regret that I did. As to my business life I have found It most satisfying, even though when I look back upon It all there were periods when one third of my earnings were taken away through indorsements made.

My sentiments, nevertheless, are of absolute satisfaction. In averaging the thlrty slx years which make up my career the measure ot happiness I have had, the affairs in the business and political world with which I have come in contact, and the great men of my time, both of my own and foreign coun I tries, with whom I have had acquaintance, these all make up a measure of life which makes me deeply grateful to an all wise Providence." This happened in School No. 72: The class in English was receiving instruction in the use of synonyms, and the children were told to write a sentence containing words which were synonymous with "ran" and "tail." So they looked in their dictionaries, and one boy produced this: "The dog trickled down tho street, with a tin pan tied to his narrative." Speaking of dogs, there is a good Republican fox terrier in this town. When his mistress said to him before election: "What will you do if Bryan is elected?" he sat up on hi3 haunches and begged. Then she would say: "What will happen to you then?" And the intelligent animal would lie down and die.

Then the mistress: "What will you do if Mc Kinley is elected?" and the dog would jump up from the floor and rush about the room, joyously wagging his tail. To relieve the feelings of the Bryanites, I will say that the dog had to be taught to do these things. He was not a Republican by nature, but, as the theologians would say, was led astray by a wicked woman, who wrought upon his unsus pecting nature till she brought about his undoing. The late Baron Adolphe de Rothschild was a considerate man. He left in his will the following directions for his funeral: "Bury me early in, the morning.

I would disturb as few people in their vocations as possible." Bishop Potter the other day disclosed wh so many worthy enterprises fail. Their projectors take too little account of the relations between eating together and a mutual and friendly understanding. He was talking about the Board of Mediation and Arbitration. "This was a board which held meetings in the City of New York," he said. "It wa created voluntarily by its own members, being neither authorized nor recognized in legal form.

Our first meeting was held in Hobart Hall, but it was soon noted that its members were not in close touch with each other; there was not that bond of thorough understanding between us there should have been, and, therefore, we accomplished but little. We next met at my residence. There we smoked cigars and drank coffee, but between, puffs and sips we settled the great strike of the marble workers." If it had not been for the coffee and tha cigars it is probable that the members of tha board would have been working at cross purposes yet. I know of two clubs in this town that would fall apart if it were not for tha monthly dinner which precedes the discussion of those subjects for the study of which the clubs were organized. One of them is composed of school principals.

These men thought that they were deeply enough interested in their profession to meet every four weeks to talk about pedagogics, but for a long time only a few of them would get together and the projectors were about to glv up the enterprise when some one suggested that they have one more meeting and pre. cede it with a dinner. The experiment wai tried and so many attended that the club Is still alive and flourishing. The other club i3 composed of men ot various professloms iateretited In questions of municipal government. Its monthly dinners put the members at their ease and they talk as sociably during: the meal as if they were at their own tables and are in the proper receptive mood at it conclusion to lleten to what the speak? have to say.

The club is so prosperous it has a waiting list and as soon as a ber resigns or moves away the vacar filled. Men may talk all they cboos' the coheiva power of public plundr not la it with the cementing qua! club dinner. Civil Affairs in Cuba and Philippines Make the Demand Imperative. the DANGERS SIGNAL MEN RUN. Proposed Tunnel Prom France to Algiers The Week in the Washington Theaters.

Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, December 1 It is probable that never before has the need for a new executtvo department to take care of the multifarious matters which have developed In the past two years been so great as at the present time. At least ono administration official will recommend in his annual report that there be established at an early date a Department of Commerce and Colonies. It may be surprising to know that prac tically all the Washington wnrlt ennnMted with the administration of the civil affairs of Cuba and the Philippines Is transacted in the recently established insular division of the War Department, the total clerical force of which consists "of thirty one men and women, most of whom are typewriters. Rep resentatives in Congress who have called at the War Department in the past ten days to secure information in regard to Cuba and the Philippines have been astounded at the amount of work performed by this small bureau and at the responsibilities which are entailed in its discharge.

In a limited way the insular division is charged with the duties which in this country are distributed among at least six executive departments That the work has been done remarkably well and thoroughly Is due in a laree meas ure to the efficiency and intelligence of the Army omcers wno ml the various offices. Colonel Clarence Edwards is the present head of the division and he is responsible for much of the system that now prevails in the office. A service of many months in the Philippines as the adjutant general on the staff of the late General Lawton gave, to him a practical knowledge of conditions in the Philippines, which has been of much value to him in the Washington work. While every credit is given to the insular division for the capable manner in which it has taken charge of the customs service of the Philippine ports, established the civil service regulations for the islands and put into motion the vast and complicated machinery of a civil government, It is admitted by all who have given iuo uimier any inougnt tnat it is only a matter of time before these affairs must he nanaea over to a special department organized for the purpose of caring for such affairs. The volume of labor that is Imnnwil on the insular division is daily becoming auu neavier, ana it is only by keeping a part of the force working over hours ana on bunaays and holidays that the offl cers are not swamped.

Until May of this year the insular division was In charge of me civil government of Porto Rien wpII but with the adoption of the laws provided for by Congress the War Department au thorities were relieved of this burden. The Post Office Department has control of the postal system in Cuba, but since the Neely scandals the authority of the postal officials in that island has been curtailed. With this exception, Army officers are in charge of all i.ue various civil Drancnes or the govern ment of the Philippines and Cuba. Colonel Edwards has divided his division into the following bureaus: correspondence, records, accounts, statistics and mailing and documents. Some idea of the magnitude of the work that falls to this division may be gained from the statement that last year 12,000 letters were referred to it, involving the writing of an equal number of replies as well as 10.000 indorsements.

People are constantly inquiring regarding the prospects of invest menta in the Philippines and in Cuba, and asking for information relative to climatic condition and a host ot other matters. All these communications are referred to this division for reply. The spare momenta are devoted to the compilation of commercial statistics, tariff figures and other facts which form the basis for the numerous publications of the division Each step that Is taken in establishing features of civil government in the islande, is necessarily attended with great study and deliberation, owing to the lack of precedents to guide the authorities. The administration of the tariff laws of Cuba and the Philippines, the drafting of civil service regulations and other affaire of government are matters requiring the considerate attention of the most experienced and that these duties have been successfully discharged by army officers is a source of much gratification to the service. It is not known how long the present conditions will exist, but sooner or later the entire business will be turned over to another executive department.

In placing these matters in the hands of army officers, however, the custom set nearly a century ago has been followed. Army officers were the first executive officials 1 ritory acquired under the Louisiana purchasing act, in California and in other tracts of lands. The mention of one or more sls nai in the dally casualty list cabled from Manila by General MacArthur Dangers is mute evidence that of Signal Men in the dangers to life in the Philippines are rnmppines. not conflned to the fighting force of the army. Probably one of the most hazardous llnnortolrinire 1 nl.t.v 11.

They afV swarm ing the territory that has been subjected by the armed force, and are putting up telegraph poles and stringing their wires from point to point. Ambushes bv the enemies are frequent and the Signal Corps men are usually attended by an escort of infantrymen. This protection is not always sufficient, as is shown by an examination of the lists of killed and wounded.

A report Just received by General Greely from Colonel Allen, the chief signal officer in the Philippines, tells of the death of Sergeant L. E. North, Company of the Signal while in charge of a field expedition engaged in putting up wires. North and a native, Celaslo Dulay, with an escort of ten men of the Forty sixth Infantry, were coming from BInan to Silan, and when five miles out they were fired on from ambush. Sergeant North was shot through the left side of the chest and fell from his pony.

The escort fell back, leaving his body on the ground. The native lineman stood by him, emptying his revolver at the until he was compelled to hide In the neighboring underbrush. One of the escort returned to Binan and gave the alarm, whereupon a searching party was sent out and returned with the body of North. A number of retired naval officers residing in Brooklyn is interested in a movement that is now on foot to secure the passage of a special act, giving to retired naval officers who served In More lay for Retired Navy Officers. the Civil War certain privileges that were extended to officers of the Navy by the recent personnel act.

Several veterans of the Civil War called on Secretary Long eome time eince and secured his permission to appeal to Congress for aid. It is claimed that Section 11 of the personnel act discriminates against retired naval officers of the Civil War. This section permits the retirement of. officers serving In the Spanish war, with the rank and pay of one grade higher than that enjoyed at the date of retirement Owing to an error In framing the measure, It is said, the provision was not made to apply to veterans of the Civil War. The latter are now organized for the purpose nf having the oversight corrected, and during the coming session Congress will be asked to pn.5s a bill, authorizing the advancement of one grade In rank and pay of all retired naval nfftcerc of the Civil War, having good records.

It is estimated that such a measure would cost the Treasury about $200,000 a year. Additional facts regarding the conntruc MARRIED. RUVAN HART On November 29, nt the residence of the bride's parents, by the Rov. Horn Wellmnn, Mrs. JANET SANDMEYF.R HART of Brooklyn to Mr.

P. C. RUTAN of Tort Jervis, N. Y. tracks no greater obstacles will be encountered than those which have been successfully overcome at Mount Cents, the St.

Got hard, Arlberg and the Slmplon. Some ques tion has been raised, however, regarding the ventilation of a submarine tunnel and the removal of the constantly accumulating wa ter. Mr. Berlier claims to have a secret method for treating both difficulties. He says that by working at both ends the tun nel could be completea in seven years and at a total cost of $43,425,000.

The French press criticises the project unfavorably. The theatergoers of Washington have given thanks, to the discriminating and generous managers both the National The Week and Columbia Thea a he ters here during the past week, in the Theaters, most substantial manner, for the splendid Thanksgiving attraction at both these houses. At the New National, Mary Mannering delighted old friends and made a host of new, by a most winsome impersonation of the heroine of the dramatized version of Paul Leicester Ford's historical novel, "Janice Meredith." Miss Mannering, who has at last escaped from under the managerical wiDg of Daniel Frohman and now appears at the head of her own organization, is to be felicitated upon her entrance into the starry and her triumph of the past week must be considered in the nature of a personal one quite as much as a tribute to the absorbing drama Mr. Edward E. Rose has constructed from the Ford novel.

Miss Mannering comes to her task equipped with all the attributes that spell stage success youth, beauty and a voice of rare sweetness. The four acts are rampant with patriotism, and the pictures presented 'are bright with the brtlliant coats of the enemy and beautiful with the sacred blue and buff of our patriots. Both the Janice Meredith and the Charles Fownes, as Mr! Rose has created them, differ somewhat from those met between the covers of Mr. Ford's novel, hut both, are characters of intense interest and are splendidly interpreted by Miss Mannering and Robert Druet. Burr Mcintosh, as Hennlon, the overgrown farm lad, gives a splendid character study which is delightfully genuine.

An able cast fills out a long programme. The third act is the strongest of the four, and the battle picture which closes it calls forth salvos of applause and numerous curtain calls. At the Columbia Theater, Francis Wilson In a decidedly Wilsonesque opera, to wit, "The Monks of Malabar," was the week's attraction. Francis Wilson, after a meteoric flight into the more pretentious channels of comic opera, has suddenly come back to earth and has decided to be himself again. "The Monks of Malabar" is the tuneful title of a very tuneful little comic opera, which knocks on the portals of public opinion, with a well told, bright and interesting story, a number of melodious and catchy airs, Francis Wilson as the principal fun maker and a fur ther cast of marked excellence, together with a splendid chorus, beautiful scenery and rich costumes.

Madge Lessing, who replaces Lulu Glaser as the soubrette of the company, is a decided improvement. Though not possessed of any volume of voice, it is yet sweet and true. She is a very graceful dancer and has a magnetism and charm that make her work delightful. Van Rensselaer Wheeler has an opportunity to show how well he can sing and does it "thoroughly. The patrons of the Academy of Music were accorded something in the nature of a surprise on Monday night, when it was discovered that Manager Rapley had gone to considerable expense by way of redecorating, repainting and refurnishing, and this very popular play house now presents a very handsome interior.

A melodrama of the good old fashioned sort, called "A Rough Rider's Romance," was the week's attraction, with Edwin Mordant as the gallant, rough riding hero and Caroline Franklin as the charming heroine. Next week: "Way Down East," at the National; the Hanlons in "Le Voyage en Suisse," at the Columbia. A. B. A.

RICHARD YOUNG AT HOME. His Tour Abroad Included Many Continental Countries and the Orient. Richard Young, chairman of the school committee, having in charge the educational affairs in the Twenty ninth Ward, and owner of the big Manhattan leather company that bears his name, returned to his home, S7 Lincoln road, on Wednesday night from an extensive tour ot the world. During his absence, Mr. Young has contributed many entertaining letters to the Eagle descriptive of his travels, the countries he visited, their institutions and their mode of living.

So comprehensive have his letters been, that practically nothing has been left unsaid, although he has delved into many problems. Mr. Young is much Interested in educational affairs and almost the first thing he did when he set foot In New York was to visit Mayor Van Wyck and qualify, that he might retain his office in the Board of Education The schools of the many countries that he has visited have been investigated by him and. a probable forthcoming article on them from him will attract all who are interested in the public schools. Mr.

Young's tour embraced trips through Norway, Sweden. Finland, France, the Rus sias, Turkey, the Holy Land and the Orient. While on his trip he picked up many curios and souvenirs, some of which he now has, others of which are yet in transit or are In New York, yet undelivered. Mr. Young is looking hale and hearty.

The long coat mai to the entire body is a necessity for the young child. The very charming little design illustrated is admirable for the wee tot who has just been promoted to short clothes, as well as for children of 4 to 8 years of age.

As shown the material is Russian blue broadcloth, with trimming of soft gray chinchilla; but younger children wear white bengaline, peau de soie, drap de ete and velvet, corduroy or velveteen can be substituted for the cloth when the child has reached the mature age of 4 years. Fur is much used as trimming, but narrow frills of ribbon and stitched bands are entirely correct. The skirt portion is laid in box plaits, two at the front and two at the back, and is attached to a short, fitted body. The double capes fall over the shoulders, the upper one being cut in points at the front, which gives an exceptionally smart effect. At the neck is a turn over collar.

The sleeves are full, In bishop style, and are finished wtih straight bands or cuffs at the wrists. The coat closes at the center front, where it is supplied with ornamental buttons and butonholes. To cut this coat for a child of 4 years of age 5 yards of material 21 inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide, 2 yards 44 or 2 yards 50 inches wide, will be required. MUSICALE EOR CHURCH SOCIETY. Under the auspices of the Young Ladies' League of Christ Church, Clinton and Harrison streets, song and string quartet recital will be given at Memorial Hall, Flatbush avenue and Schermerhorn street, on Tuesday evening, December 11.

Those who are announced to take part are: Miss Blanche Duffield, soprano: Herbert Witherspoon, basso; Bendix String Quartet; Max Bendix, violinist, and Robert Gaylor, pianist. With Lingerie. one to be desired, the woman who is not advanced enough to put one en, can do nearly as well with her old corset; if she will put it on correctly. A pretty corset model had her picture taken putting the corset on the wrong way. She pulled it straight uround her, a little higher than it could be worn and hooked the middle hook first.

Then she fastened the bottom hooks and. finally, the top ones. The prcper way would have been to reverse this order. The corset should have been drawn very low, much lower than it could be worn, and the top hook should have been hooked first. Then the second hook and ao on down to the bottom of the corset.

This will draw the figure low and give a very nice pointed waist, no matter what kind of a corset may be worn. TRADES UNION DISSOLVES. Chicago.

A meeting of the Urban Club, at which Miss Alice Perkins presided, was held on Tuesday afternoon at the home of the senior director, Mrs.
