PARENTAL DISCIPLINE.
The Stern and Heroic Act of Patriotic
American Father.

American Father.
In the light of modern devotion to
liberty, one feels inclined to doubt
whether he Spartan mother who
counseled her son to return from bat
tie ''with his shield or upon it'' showed
more heroism than many another
patriot who may not attain to world
wide fame. To cap her words there
lies ready at hand the equally-stern
act of an American father
During the Mexican war; question
arose whether regiment of volun-
teers. under General Johnston, should
not disband before the end of their
specified six months service unless
they should re-enlist for further
period. The matter was put to vote,
and the majority being in favor of dis
banding. the regiment was at once
broken up. Only few of the men re-
enlisted in another regiment
Many of the soldiers who
were thus relieved from serv-
ice went home merely for a short
furlough, intending to return to the
ranks after their energies had been re-
cuperated by domestic life. One OF
them, a brave but rather careless
young man, the son of n famous Texan
patriot. sought his home with the rest.
Full of joy at the sight of familiar
ground, he was fastening from the
beach at Galveston to his fathers
house, when he noticed the old gentle
man regarding him from the front
porch. When the young soldier had
approached within speaking distance,
the father in tones unexpectedly se-
we're. ordered him to halt.
What are you doing here, sirp
Your six months are not up."
No, father; but the regiment has
disbanded and the men have gone

see you, and then go back"

A Married Sea Captain Sustains the Rep
utation of His Glass,

"A sea SdpDdln Subtdlnb the KEEP
utation of His Glass.
New YORK, November 19th-Captain
John a. Ankers, formerly of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, will be arraigned
in Court next Monday to answer a charge
Of abandonment preferred by his wife, who
lives with her on-in-law, Emery J. Ham
pin, in Brooklyn. From Mrs. Ankers
story it appears that the Captain is gay
sea-dog, with weakness for women and
sparkling wine. Before he took command
of Pacific steamer he commanded a sail
ing vessel, and was at one time connected
with the navy. He earned good salary,
and up to the time of entering the employ of
the Pacific Company provided literally for
his family.
The steamer he commanded piled be-
tween New York and Aspinwall, and Mrs.
Ankers says that whenever a company of
actors and actresses were among the pas
sengers he would entertain the women
finely. At Carthagena, Jamaica and Sari-
nilla he became infatuated with Mrs Rose
Ecker, the wife of a business man of Sari-
nilla, who sent her IN care of the Captain
to Brooklyn for medical treatment. Mrs.
Ecker was formerly variety actress named
Rose Cohen, and her conduct with the Cap
tain resulted in separation from her nus
band. The latter came to Brooklyn, it is
said, for the avowed purpose of killing
Captain Ankers, but he was in San Fran
cisco and so escaped. Ecker has since
died.
Captain Ankers was discharged from the
employ of the steamship company about
two years ago, and for eighteen months
lived with his brother in San Francisco,
leaving that place, it is said under a cloud
caused by his attentions to married
woman. He returned to Brooklyn and
spent the greater portion of his time with
cousin, Charles Jeffrey. Mrs. Jeffrey,
Mrs. Ankers says, was an old flame of the
Captains and once accompanied him ON a
Pacific Mail steamer, passing as his wife.
Jeffrey separated from her, but after several
months reconciliation followed.
All this time, Mrs. Ankers alleges her
husband failed to provide for her, and she
was compelled to live with her children.
The Captain has had no regular employ
ment since he left the employ of the Pacific
Mail Company. He denies that he has
abandoned his wife.
