 The quality Of courage ill battle I regard as being to q large extent a physical attri- bute, says Colonel James M Thomson in the St. Louis Globe-DemocraJ. l have heard good deal of talk about the nonchalance of men in action, and thelr ease and composure after the first gun fired. but I never took much stock in 1t. l went through the war in the army, and it was my fortune to be in . portion of the service in Virginia where there was a good deal Of hard fight ing to do, and there wasn't any creditabIe way to get out of 1t, either. 1 saw service in twenty-eight battles, and I can freely say that l, for one, never got fused to it." never went into a fight without an all-per- vading sense of danger, and was always glad when it was over. Of course, moral courage, pride, patriotism and the military spirit kept the great majority of men right up to the mark, but there were notable in stances of men whose physical natures simply failed to respond when called on They could not possibly go into fight. A clear head and full conception of the enormous consequence of towardice to themselves failed to spur them to the stay ing point, and on the first whz of bullet their signals of distress were visible to all in sight. A well-knoSn New York Colonel, a perfect gentleman, q scholar. a patriot | and really noble fellow, was so weak in point of courage, and his humiliation so great at being really unable to face danger that he was forced to retire from the army,

The Craze for Hairpins.

Unquestionable l have never seen
such rage for ornamental hairpins of
every description rs there seems to be
at present, says a writer in the JelOeE-
erS Weekly. And the amount of artis-
tic work that is being lavished on these
ornaments is something remarkable.
Some ladies seem to have a regular
mania for them, and are not contented
with less than a score or so.
Pretty Emma Juch, the operatic pri-
ma donna, owns an unrivaled collee-
ton of hairpins; not the black wire
pins, so humbly useful in buttoning
boots and picking locks, but hairpins
idealiZed, pins dainty and bejeweled,
such pins as those with which the pret-
ty girl at once fastens and ornaments
her locks, and which she makes her
chief pet and fetch Nine. Kallisch,
who was transformed from Fraulein
Lilli Lehman under such romantic cir
cumstances last spring is also a victim
of the hairpin mania. When she sailed
for Europe a few weeks ago she carried
with her from two hundred to three
hundred ornaments, an accumulation
second only to that of Miss Juch.
The elaborate-caryed shell combs,
which enjoyed a revival a couple of
years ago, have given place to shell
pins with comb tops equally large and
even more inticately cut in leaf, now-
er, and geometrical designs Some of
these are gold-l'immed, banded and
ornamentcd uutil they make very cost
ly bits of jewclry.
The pin which the fair Partisan likes
best just now has a shell foundation,
with a spray Of leaves OF fine flowers
in cut steel for an ornament on top.
These pins are seen here-abouts to
some extent, but the New York girl
likes many other kinds better. For in
stance, she takes very kindly to the
mixture of tortoise shell and amber,
for tile body Of the pin being shell,
with a bunch Of currants or some such
small ball-like design in amber for the
head. A shell pin with garnet orna-
mentation is as general a fayorite as
anything made.
The young girls pin for all informal
occasions is the silver pin. With coils,
| twists, loops, and all manner of simple
| designs in white or oXidized silver She
fastens her bright hair Silver pins
are summer pins because they offer
such an opportunity to the summer
! girl

JoHNsToWN.

JoHNsTowN, June 24.-A sweeping
fire broke out in the First ward at
1850 this afternoon. The flames
spread rapidly, and at / o'clock 20
houses were burning. Among the
buildings burning is the First ward
school house. All the engines in the
place have been called out, and the
most intense excitement prevails,
Nearly all the houses burned we're
more or less destroyed by the food
A movement is now on foot among
the citizens of Johnstown to sue the
South Fork Fishing Club for damages
caused by the late disaster. The firm
of John Thomas & Son, who lost
heavily, will set the ball rolling by
bringing a suit for Sl50,000, A strong
legal fight will be made, and if the
plaintiffs succeed their example will
doubtless be followed by hundreds of
others.
All the local physicians met acci.
dentally at the Bedford Street Hospi.
tai Friday night. They represented
all parts of the stricken city, and after
discussing the calamity, all joined in
the conclusion that not a soul less than
10000 people we're lost in the food.
On account of the general knowledge
of the people possessed by the physi.
clans, the estimate is looked upon a,
reliable.
More bodies are being recovered
daily, many of which are so badly de.
composed as to be past all recognition.
