"My name IS Scott" said the stranger,
captain Scott, from the Barracks at
Baton Rouge
There was minutes profound silence,
as the name of the most celebrated marks

Not man there, not man hardly in

Of the wonderful feats of Workmanship
of that gallant young officer
Then suddenly. as with one voice,
there arose a deafening cheer.
Captain Scott Hurrah for Captain
Scott.
Men crowded around to gaze at him,
to shake hands with him. A voice cried
out, in good English, I'VE are proud,
Captain Scott, to have seen you. We'd
have gwen two ponies willingly Just tc

A Recent Inmate of st. Elizabeth's Makes
an Onslaught on ONCE Windows.
The occupants of the business office of
the Post. corner of Tenth and ID streets,
were startlcd about l 0 o'clock this morn
ing by loud crash, which, upon cXami-
nation, proved to have been occasioncd
by wcll-dircctcd missile hurled at one
of the large plate glass windows on the
1enth-strcct side. The missile proved to
be u heavy metal cut, which, landing i'll
the center of the glass, converted IL in
twinlSling into something resembling
n river map, the cracks radiating in all
directions from the point of contact,
The cut lacked the propulsivc force, how
ever to go through the window and fell
upon the outside.
The man who threw il was on the
street and took advantage of a passing
wagon to send in his compliments un-
seen; but there is pretty clearly estab-
lshcd evidence that the mischief was
done by u printer formerly employed
on the Republican, named George Smell
ling, who has been suffering with in
sanity for the past two years, and has
been an inmate of st. Elizabcth's Asy

tion became exceedingly difficult. The front
Of the opera-house had been literally deco
rated with American flags and banners bear

cenium arch, was large American flag,
which fell IN a fau-shaped fold. Behind the
stand was also another American flag grace
fully hanging In folds. To the right Of the

top OF the portrait and on each side OF II was
ali Irish llag, and above them were flags Of
Germany, and all surmountcd by an American
flag. The picture of Judge Thurman was on
the left side Of the stage. On both pictures
were fastened bandanas. The upper part OF
the stage was q mass Of streumers. The
boxes were lavishy decorated with flags and
bunting. Around the galleries were placed
flags Of all nations, streamers, shields with tho
