democrat, holding office under Presi
dent Buchanan, announced to the late
Clement l.. Vallandigham his purpose
to accept commission in the Union
army the latter exclaimed, "And do Won
Ihlhk that secession can be put down by
force of armsg" "Most certainly do"
was the response. To this Vallandig-
ham reloined, "Well, if believed thar,
would go into the army myself" But
the hero of this special dinner was An
drew q. Curtin, the old "war governor"
OF Pennsylvania, now in Congress from
the same state. A tall, not very robust
old gentleman, who speaks slowly and
quietly till warmed up with his subject
when his voice deepens and his whole
manner changes so that he holds the
closest attention of his hearers. He
lmpresses one as man possessed of
more than ordinary powers as IL politi-
cian, who certainly comes very close to
being statesman as well. His account
OF the difficulties that pertained to the
duties of his position at the time when
the government first resOrted to a con-
scrlptlon was interesting, and the trib-
ute which followed to the men who vol
unteered of course very gratifying to
those present. But it was the ready wit
OF the speaker that drought down the
house" when he supplemented warn
ing to those present to take care us the
years roll on not to fall into the not
uncommon failing of old soldiers claim
ing all the laurels of the entire wal for
their own brigades, regiments, compa-
MES and persons, by little story.
This story was of an old PENNSYLVANIA
tOwnsman of the governors who had
served in the war of the Revolution as
Il wagon master. AS years rolled on
this person was wont to expatiate upon
his personal services at the battle of
Monmouth (his single action of mo-
ment) until as he sat in the village
store one night, after several accepted
invitations to drink, he told in this
wise: sin that fearful day at Monmouth,
although entitled to il horse fought on
foot. With each blow | severed an En-
glishman's head from his body, until IL
huge pile of heads lay around me, great
pools of blood on either side and nv
shoes were SO full of the same dreadful
fluid that my feet slipped beneath me.
Just then l felt n touch upon my
shoulder and looking up who should |
behold but the great and good Wash
ingtOn himself. Never shall forget
the dignity of his presence, us pressing
his hand upon me he said, MY young
friend restrain yourself and for heav-
ems sake do not make slaughter
house of YOURSELF The shouts of
laughter that greeted this story showed
that the governor had made Il point
that it is hoped will not be forgotten at
future military reunions, where have
sometimes thought it would be well if
Il rule suggested by Il witty Maryland
officer for such an occasion could be-
come general-that no story be per
missible that involved the movement
of any body of men smaller than an
army corps. This would cut some ex-
cellent stories but it would be very
much in the interest of the ninth com
mandment.-[ Baltimore Letter.

CITIwAYO, THE FAMOUS SOUTH AFRI-
CAN WARRIOR, KILLED.

A dispatch from Durham, South At
rica, declares positively that CitiwayO,
the famous warrior, is dead. Citiwayo
was the representative of a famous dy-
nasty. He was the son of Panda and
the nephew of Cbaka, the Zulu Napo-
leon, who in 1872 re-organized the Zu-
In nation. As a boy Chaka formed the
purpose of creating a powerful army
and conquering all South Africa. His
scheme was successful and sixty ma
tions became his subjects. In 1928 he
was murdered. Panda, the father of
CitiwayO, who ruled from lo40 to 1872,
was a man of much administrative
ability, who consolidated the Zulu ma
tion and made friends of the Dutch and

One Of Gov. Curtin's Stories.

At Washington dinner some weeks
ago there were some interesting and
some amusing speeches made. The
guests were composed of those who
served in the late war, barring a few
dignitaries who bore distinguished
part i'll the civic service of the same era.
Among the former one who has since
attained high judicial position, was
Justice Stanley Matthews and it was in
his speech that he made the somewhat
startling announcement that he, war

Colorado people fear that the mining

suspicious of all enterprises in the line
will be followed by frauds in the cattle
business which will work mischief in

instances tempt eastern men to buy
herds, and guerrillas have already
found ways of swindling them right
and left. One plan is to buy lot of
remnants" of Texas herds, mostly
barren cows and bony steers, have
them "bOOked," compute the increase
by ordinary rules, and after while
sell the lot on the range, of course
without counting. 1t is said that in
this way herds of 1000 have been sold
and paid for as 10000, and sometimes
by merely fencing in range and call
ing it theirs the scamps sell govern
ment land and pocket the money.

Two Summer Resorts.
WHAT ONE CHICKEN DID.

A chicken is responsible for the ex-
istence of the Hotel Kaaterskill on the
Hudson, which is said to be the largest
mountain hotel i'll the world. The sto-
nv as told by the Philadelphia Record
is in substance that Il rich man of that
city, who had quartered his family for
many summers at the old hotel, where
the food was limited in variety, sent
his carriage sixteen miles down the
mountain in 1880 for chicken for his
sick child When the fowl was sent to
the kitchen objection was made to
cooking it, and the landlord curtly re-
marked ''If you want so much waiting
on you had better get hotel of your
own" ''Well, | DECLARE" exclaimed
the astonished guest. And then, re-
covering almost instantly from his sur
prise, he added IL guess | will. | had
not thought of that The land was
bought and the buildings begun within
two months, and in June, 1881, the
house was opened. 1t has accommo-
datiOns for 1000 guests, has its own
pOst-Office and postmaster, and tele-
graph office, electric lights, telephone
communication between its various de
partments and to the village below,
drug store and physician and rail
road of its own eight miles long and II
newspaper office from which is issued
IA neat little semi weekly paper. 1t is
planned to build another railroad next
season direct to Saugerties, shortening
the Journey to New York to two hours
and Il half and opening up park of
twenty-One square miles to cottage
building. One of the boasts of this
house, and IA discouraging one to the
poor woUld-be visitor, is that the head
cook gets rs big IL salary as the bishop
of Pennsy ylvania.
MOUNT DESERT.
Bar HarbOr is growing so rapidly
that it has an ambition to rival New
port as the summer abode of money
and fashion. Many fine cottages have
been built since last year, one that cost
so, 900 and another worth 100000,
which has reeeptiOn-TOOm capable Of
holding 200 persons. The new railroad
up Mt Desert is $500 feet long, and is
like the road up Mt. Washington, ex
| cept that it is laid on the ground, and
| in many places is bOlted down to the
rock lodges. In one place the grade
rises one foot in three for 800 feet. a
little steamer has been placed on Eagle
lake, part way up the side of the
mountain, and three-story hotel has
been built on the summit, 1900 feet
| above the sea level.

A RorMoRNING AND BREEZY AFTERNOON

Sunday seems to allow people more leisure
TO reflect upon the heat than week days AFFORD so the
general opinion Yesterday that the weather was
considerably more dscomfOrtng than on Saturday al
though the record the thermometer showed that the
mercury rose only degree hgher-to 800 at 33Op M
Until near the evening, however. the temperature
generally ruled two three degrees above that OF Sat
between noon and D. m, for the sun sent piercing rays
through sury that seemed TO be weighted with heat
curious feature Of the day was the appearance OF
the sun in the morning, whom, yelled with heavy haze
Il looked like an immense white electric light For some
time the light that streamed into houses was tinted
almost uridly red, aud outside thj atmosphere was
smoky with haze like that the neighborhood OF coun

up which lelsurely roved tho water and carried
partial comfort through the streets OF the city at
velocity OF nine miles an hour.

warn against any expedition It, But the crowds
Of people began to pour up the approach about
