THE MILITARY CASTE.

Snobbishness in the U.S. Army.

It is not only in Europe that the lesser ovila of militarism are noticeable. Recent Roy J. Taylor, a First Lieutenant in the 126th United States Coast Artillery, WAS tried by court-martial for compelling.

Sergeant Patrick Butler to change his seat

in a New London theatro, and the incident has called forth a great deal of editorial comment in no case favourable to the com. missioned officer. "When the report told how Lieutenant Taylor had made Sergeant Butler vacate a seat in front of him in a theatre in New London and take one else. where," observes the St. Paul Dispatch, "we regarded it as an exaggeration, unwilling to believe that an officer of the regular army would make so prominent the width and depth of the gap that, in bis estimation at least, separated the man who wears straps on his shoulders from the man who wears the chevrons of a sorgeant, and is only

This doubt an enlisted soldier." enhanced because only lately the Army and Navy League began a campaign to compel theatre managers to give well-ap- pearing soldiers and sailors access to any part of the theatres. Lieutenant Taylor stated before the court-martial that he asked the sergeant to varate the seat in front bocausa ho interfered with a theatre The sentence party of the Lieutenants.

was

Was that Lieutenant Taylor be reduced twelve numbers in rank. The New York Sun comments as follows:-

"A Lieutenant in the Coast Artillery has just bee reduced twelve numbers in rank by a court-martial which found him guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer, of hig Making use QD two counts; superior rank to cmpel a sergeant of his command to give up his seat at a theatre in New London, Conn; and attempting to justify his action at his trial, by giving testimony so at variance with candour

as to lead the court to declare it a warrant for a more severe sentence than the one actually imposed.

While it is probable that the punish. ment meted out by the court-martial is based more upon the second count than on the first, it is in our opinlon none too Kevere a robuke to the officer's conduct. in inflicting a public humiliation upon his inferior in rank. Such conduct to the prejudice of good order and military. dia- eipline is of all too frequent occurrence, through the majority of instances are not brought to public notice. It is a form of hazing, in that the victim is ordinarily helpless and must take his medicine without protest; and hazing by com- missioned officers of the army or navy La a very different affair from hazing by West Point or Annapolis cadets."

'The Sun adds that "such summary treat- ment of offenders of this type should have

The America Cup.

The New York Bun has received a letter from Sir Thomas Lipton, in which he says that he is considering plans for a now " for the America Cup, and Challenger". hopes to bring the yacht to America in 1907. He is pleased, lie continues, to think that

опе

the next time he comes he will bring good, wholesome boat, to be met by built under certain restrictions, and so bar excessive overhangs and other freakish

features.

It is reported that Sir Thomas is going to build a schooner with 115 feet water lino, which is the limit allowed by the deed of gift of the America Cup.

THE REPRIEVE OF A CON-

DEMNED LAWYER.

Famous New York Cage. ALBANY, JaD. 15.-Albert T. Patrick, the New York lawyer, convicted and awalt- ing execution in Sing Sing Prison next week for the murder of Williams Marsh Rice in New York city in September 1900, was reprloved this afternoon by Governer Higging until March 19th, a space of fifty- six days.

The reprieve is granted for the purpose

Patrick's before a trial court alloged newly-discovered evidence. Its granting followed a hearing before the Governor in accordance with a request of former Senator David B. Hill and Judge William K. Olcott of counsel for Patrick, and with the full consent of District Attorney Jerome, who was pro-

sent.

The Patrick caso is one of the most remarkable in the criminal annals of the country. Arrested on October 14, 1900, for having chloroformed William M. Rico, a millionaire reclase, to death after his aged client had made a will in his favour, Patrick succeeded in postponing the deci. Bion of his fate for over four years. Every possible legal point was taken advantage of to defer the execution of the sentence of death imposed on April 7, 1902, and the case attracted attention throughout the country.

In June last when the Court of Appeals sustained the judgment of the trial Court, it was believed that Patrick's fight had been in vain; but even then his attorneye did not despair, and as a last resort the Governor was asked to stay the execu tioner's hand on the ground that the de- lence had discovered new evidence tending to show that Rico died of natural causes and that no crime had been committed. On this showing the roprieve was granted, and there is a probability that Patrick, in the event of securing a new trial, may yet be acquitted,
