Washington, Nov. 9.—The Court of Claims yesterday heard argument up- on a motion by counsel for the Gov- ernment to dismiss the case of the Claim >by the Cramps Shipbuilding Company against the United States for about two million dollars. The Claim was based upon changes in the plans of war vessels constructed by the Cramps for the Government and for dejays in the work caused by waits for armor for the vessels. It was as- serted that under the statutes author- izing the building of the vessels, and by the terms of the contracts for their construction, the Cramps had no Standing in court. The motion wai taken under advisement. MISS LOUISE WHITE. (Now In Sweden Pushing Her Claim to the Throne.) has been discussed in the (Swedish newspapers. In preparing her case Hiss White hae accumulated an immense amount of documentary evidence. She claims to be the lineal descendant of the great and popular king- of Sweden, Gustavus Adolphus. It is a matter o f history that the present king' of Sweden, Oscar LL, cannot claim tills distinction. The various papers and documents which Miss White has collected and which she says will be put in evidence at the proper time, establish her rela- tionship, it is claimed, to the older rulers of the country. The last of this Amer- ican woman's ancestors to occupy the throne of Sweden was King\ Uustavus IV., who ruled from 1792 to 1809. Unless Miss White disguises herself as a Joan of Arc and successfully downs the whole of Sweden before her sword! there is not much likelihood of her ever getting near the throne. As a matter of fact, a woman cannot reign over Sweden's people, the latter having so de- cided more than a century ago. After the disastrous efforts of the reigns of Queen Christina and Elriea Eleanora in the eighteenth century, Sweden came to the conclusion that only marie per- sons shall rule the country and its peo- ple, and only a revolution could change this rule of eligibility to the throne. DECOY FOR HUNTERS. \Well 1 would hardly be willing to say,\ responded the physician to an inquiry made by one. of a, group o f lis*' teners, says the Washington Star\ \that a man who committed suicide was in- sane, for 1 know several who were never suspected of insanity before the act, nor have they been since, who, to my certain knowledge, have attempted sui- cide. One or two cases have been made public and have got into the. newspa- pers, but the great majority of them are professional secrets, and no one will ever know of them, except those few who know now. That's one of the responsibilities a physician takes upon himself. \1 recall one instance where I saved a man from committing suicide, and, 1 though he never showed the slightest symptom of it afterward, I am positive he was crazy as a loon at the time of the attempt. It happened about six years ago, in a western city, in a hotel where 1 was the resident physician. 1 had met the man i n the evening after dinner, and had played a game of chess with him in his apartments, the finest suite in the house. He had arrived at the hotel the day before, alone, and had asked for the best rooms, paying; for them in advance. Then he bad asked for the house physician, and as one result of our acquaintance we were playing this game of chess. We bad one or two mild drinks during the evening, and after the game was fin- ished he turned the talk upon suicide, having some very interesting\ and pe- culiar ideas on the subject, chief of which was his utter aversion to seU- murder under any circumstances what- ever. He was so firm i n his opposition that he almost lost his temper when Z_X It Present* theTerfect Outward. Sem- blance of a. Cow.

(Clever Hunting Invention of a Western Genius.) allows the covering and framework of the decoy to be folded into a wrall -.pm-e for transportation. In the sides oi the fritri'cs. at suitable points, are u hitUms or openings, protected by out- \. ml <iuingiug iiap blinds, and through these windows the sportsman in the rear may discharge his fowling piece v\heii the game has been successfully •itallced. For the firing of the hunter in the front of the decoy there is pro- titled a downward swinging portion, which includes the head and Deck of the animal, so that by simply releasing a fctnaU catch from the inside of the framework, this swing front portion drops by gravity and thus leaves the bportsman free. Army nations In Turkey. Correspondienits who acoompanied the lurklsh army during the recent war with Greece refer often to the dietary habits of the Turks. Pilau, or pliant, lae national dish, receives great praise. It, Is wSiat we should call a chowder, composed of lamab, riee, butter, nA- tnonds, raisins, allspice, powdered mace,cardamoms, cloves, saffron, onion, ginger, salt, whole black pepper and dhiey. The butter and onions are placed in the bottom of an earthen pot; then a layer of rtoe, over which are distrib- uted more onions, raisins and almonds, sprinkled with saffron in water; then a layer of meat, and so on alternately until the vessel is filled. Butter i s thee poured over the whole, and the cover of the pot is closed with paste eo that no steam may escape. It i s placed in an oven and cooked for three hours. A CRITICAL MOJ&IN*. (Aimed His Gun Directly at the Doctor's Bead.* 1 ventured the assertion that suicide might be almost Justifiable. \In the midst of this conversation he| suddenly went'into an adjoining* room and returned with two revolvers, which he laid down on the table between us. 1 didn't understand what they were for, and asked him. \ 'Well,' he answered, in the coolest kind of fashion, 'the time has come for me to die, and you have got t o kill me. My soul would be damned forever if 1 did it myself, but if you do it, my blood will not be on -my own hands. There are two revolvers; you take tiiis one'—handing me one—'and I'll take the other. As you see, they are both loaded and in perfect condition. If you do not shoot me within a minute 1 shall shoot you.' \He took out his watch, and, stand- ing five or six fe«t from me, counted the ticks and aimed his gun directly at my head. 1 saw by his eye thai he was crazy, and that I would have to obey him or pay the penalty of dis- obedience with my life, and still 1 did not want to shoot a man, however 1 might be justified in it. With this thought, I lifted the revolver, and, tak- ing careful aim, he watching me nar- rowly, 1 drew the gun square down upon his forehead, and just as 1 was about to pull the trigger, 1 threw it to one side and shot for his pistol arm. My intention .was good, but 1 was ex- cited, and my shot only cut through the flesh without disabling htm, and, before I had time to move, he had fired at my heart. A case of instruments in my vest pocket saved me, and the next shot 1 fired was more to the pur- pose, and my host was dead without having committed suicide. \I told the story to the landlord, who was my friend and relative, exactly as it occurred, but to the world at large the story went forth that the man had committed suicide while crazed, and the fact that he had been in an asylum was sufficient guarantee that 1 was telling the truth.\ •» Remarkable Japanese Clock. Japan possesses a remarkable time- piece. It is contained i n a frame three feet wide and five feet long, represent- ing a noonday landscape. In the fore- ground plum and cherry trees and rich plants appear in bloom; ih the rear is seen a hill, from which fiotws a cascade, admirably imitated in crystal. From this point a thread- like stream meanders, encircling rocks and islands in its wind- ings and finally losing itself in a stretch of woodland. In a miniature sky a golden sun turns on silver wire, striking the hours on silver gongs as i t passes.- Each hour Is marked by a creeping tortoise. A bird of exquisite plumage warbles at the close of the hour, and as the song ceases a mouse sallies forth from a neighboring grotto, and, scampering over the hill to the garden, is soon lost to view. ^ ^?»<$>C V \ SsxOT' '^HfPWSpisi
