Some time neo General Bro kc, when command In Cuba, almost a'ouscd a resolution by making an onlv that no man, native or soldivr, should ippenr on the streets In his undershirt. 1 nder conditions In Cuba this arpeared senseless and aroused much comment Now army officers are discussing i sol ic amuse.

Hitherto -he officers been slouching around and dodging the sui In their trousers and l)lue fUunel shli ts. The Manila papers recently called attention to the absurdity--In Its supcrabu idance--of this costume "in count of universal semi-nudity." llereafti the sol- flier wll leave oft the 1'iue shirt and when he appears abroad will rton his bakl coat his undershirt.

PEORIA MAN Will Try His Overture On State Legislature. Was Gvol for Presbyterians and Should Be for Others. Colonel James M. Rice, the I'eorla Presbyterian, who was the author of the "Pe- orla overture," which was adopted by the last general assembly of the Presbyterian church, is so well pleased with the success of MB measure and the fame lie got out of. It, that he now proposes to adapt to state as well as church and will spring it on the Illinois legislature.

The Peortu. Journal nays of the plan: Stranger 'things iuu happened than the revolution of. existing political methods by the application of the Pcorla overture to the order of business in the Illinois eral asuembly. The overture is the creation of Colonel James M. Rice, of this city, and dt has been used to destroy the power of the machine that rormorly controlled thu destinies of the Presbyterian church In the.

United Slates. If applied in the same way to the Illinois general assembly it will produce a similar result, and break 'the grip of the political toss on the vitals of the commonwealth as surely as sun heat destroys lee. A short time ago, at the annual session of the Illinois State Bar association In Chicago, AV. A. Northcott of Greenville, lieutenant governor of Illinois, delivered a remarkable address, in which he impeached 'the nolitcal boss, and announced the complete thraldom of the people in all that pertains to the law-making of the state.

Ponderine this address, and the undoubted evil against wh'eh it was levied, Colonel Rice determined to lake the Initial step, and to attempt reform through the agency of what Is now the far-famed Peoa overture. This measure was introduc- 1 Into the general assembly of the Pres- yterian church for the purpose of break- ns 'the appointive power of the modera- Jt is a rule intended to do what was one tbe city council In Mayor vinsey's time, when the power of appoint aldermanic committees was 'taken out the hands of the mayor and placed in lose of the aldermen, 'themselves. HOW IT WILL WORK. If llic overture gave Into effect In the Hip us general assembly then the mcm- or that body, and not the speaker, will teleot their own commltteemcn. ach distrU will elect its own repre- cntatives as at present, and then the dls- rict representatives will themselves se- eet their own commltteemen.

The people will then be able to get directly at hose who are responsible, and there can je no shifting of the blame on this or hat boss, or this or that political ma- hine It is calculated by Colonel Rice that here can, to begin with, bo a saving of weeks' time in the legislative session. He is perfectly confident that the ivrluro will do th business. It baa done In the church, where the moderator i as much an autocrat as the epeajter A sood deal is said about danger gasoline and the daily blowi is pointed at as a warning. Uowcvei it la noted that the woman is always filling the stove when the burners are llgl ted or doing something equally as fo llsh. The gasoline Is hardly responsibl In such cases because the woman act- as if termlned to fire to herself.

WAR AS FOUGHT. Sow Venezuelans and Colombians Carry on Revolutions. The news of a new revolution in Colombia reminded Leon J. Guthrle of the weather bureau at Springfield ot some of his experience and observation while stationed at Curaco, in the government service. "You can always tell when there is a revolution jut beginning or just ending A'enezucla or Colombia, because the revolutionists all take refuge in Curacao," said he in an Interview in The News.

''They had several revolutions in Venezuela while I was stationed In Curacao. One time I and some friends went on board a A'enezuelan man-of-war and wcro courteously received by the 'admiral'-ou know they are all admirals or generals. AVc did not see any big guns and we asked the admiral to show them to ua. He excused himself on the ground that he had to go ashore, but while he was in the cabin induced one of the men to raise up a tarpulln that covered some object on the deck and there was the armament of the battleship; an old rapid fire Krupp without--I was going to say lock, stock ir to be coirect there was nothing there but the barrel and you -couldn't see through that for 'the rust' One time the Venezuelan government bought a lithe yacht for a battleship and went to war against Colombia. The Colombians had a good look- ins ship about like one of the second- class cruiccrs and when the A'enezuelans tackled it in their little tub everybody was surprised to see them haul down their flag.

It was afterwards learned that the Colombians had run their snip on some rocks and knocked several holes in her bottom. They had mended the holes by filling them with Portland cement and wcro afraid to fire their guns for fear of breaking the cement aud gink- ing the ship." NO MATCH FOR WALTER. Band Leader Fails to Break Into Military Costume. Chief Musician Robert AValter of the Fourth Regiment band tried his new mil. Itary uniform yesterday and found to his chagrin that It was built for a private.

Mr. AValter was made for a colonel if not for a brigadier general and the coat would not meet in front by three or four inches. One thing iis certain, Mr. AVal- ter will have to get a new coat, violate army discipline by apiiearing on dress pa- rado with his coat unbuttoned or wear a corset. The first plan will he followed If there is timo enough before the res- mcnt goes into camp, and df not, tha alternative of the gaping coat or the corset will be laid before the commanding officer with the wait of the chlet musician's eloquence favoring the open coat.
