This reminds one OF the man of the

multitude all day long, and when night

he went down to the dives and pits

gregate, so that he might never have an

A Battlefield JOKE.
A Man Must be Killed When he
Says He Is.

Only this week was reading Cen.
Doubleday's story OF Gettysburg. and
the day before had seen the old gen
eral on the street, says a writer 10 the
New York Star. His presence in New
York and his book combine to recall to
my mind very practical joke that
was played upon him at Gettysburg by
Capt. Joe Parker OF Gen. hancock's
staff. Col. Billy Wilson and Joe
Parker were Gen, Hancock's pets
They were both young, full OF mischief.
and only saw the ludicrous side Oh
everything, no matter how serious
In the very white heat OF the battle
on Cemetery hill, July s, 1868, Gen.
Hancock was severely wounded, and
Capt. Parker Immediately rode of to
find Gen. Doubleday, who was the sem
ior division commander. and put him
in command OF the second corps. lie
found Doubleday sitting under big
tree. He saluted him quickly, and said
''Gen. Doubleday, Gen. Hancock has
been seriously wounded and you will
-
just at that moment, before he had
time to finish the sentence, assume
command OF the corps" she'll burst
directly over the general. The shock
half stunned him. and he fell over eS-
claiming:
.'Oh, am killed. am killed.
Capt. Parker couldn't resist this op-
portunity for joke, and he rode of
rapidly in search OF Gen. Gibbon. He
found him and reported to him that
Doubleday had been killed and Han
cock had been wounded, and that he
has to take command of the corps.
The news spread rapidly that Double
day was dead, and Capt. Parker so re-
ported to Gen. Hancock. A few hours
later railroad train containing Han
cock, his stat. and anumber of wound
ed officers was moving toward Balti-
more. Hancock was lying on a stretch
err suffering intensely, but his mind and
sympathy went out toward his division
commanders and his Other officers who
were dead or wounded.
Ats too bad about poor Doubledays
death, said he to a wounded officer
sitting near him, who was shot in tho
arm.
Doubleday isn't dead" replied the
officer. IL saw him in command OF
the corps after you were wounded and
two hours before | left the field.
why, Joe Parker told me that he
was killed, replied Hancock.
Parker, who was In the front car
with the boys having fun. was immedi-
ntely summoned He appeared before
Hancock, who said:
Capt Parker, didn't you tell ms
that Gen. Doubleday was kllledon
Certainly / did," replied Joe. .He
told me he was, and what the devil
else was to do but to take his word
for it ?'
Despise the suffering in the car there
was hearty laugh, and Parker went
back to his companions As he closed
the car door he heard Hancock re-
mark:
That boy will never see anything
serious in the most serious things OF
this life. Il
Poor Joe Parker and his counterpart,
Col. Wilson, are both dead, while the
old general Of whom Gen. Hancock
told this amusing story walks Along
Broadway apparently as healthy anG
hearty as a man Of 80.

MADDENEDCHILDREN
Terrible Panic in a Chicago
Church.
The Burning Of an Altar Curtain Causes a
Wild Stampede.
Heroic but Futile Efforts of the Priest to
Restore 0rder-0ne Boy Killed and
Many Others Injured.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

CHICAGO. Oct. 17-At s o'clock this
morning over 1000 children were gathered in
st. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church,
where Father Bagzynski was celebrating a
special mass. One of the altar curtains was
blown toward candle by the wind. Itsud-
denly ignited and in an instant flared up.
The children rose to their feet in wild
alarm, but the priest shouted to them to be
seated, as there was no danger He tore
down the curtain and trampled on it, and
all would have been over in two minutes
had it not been for woman, whose identity
has not yet been learned. She lost her head
and screamed wildly to the children TO save
themselves; that the church was burning.
Instantly a wild panic ensued, and de-
spite the utmost efforts of the priest to re-
strain them, the children made a frantic rush
for the entrance. Some one turned in Il fire
alarm, and when the engines and patrol
wagons came clattering up the noise added
to the awful panic.
The children were packed in dense
mass in the aiSles, struggling and screaming,
and above all this could be heard the
screams and shouts of the agonized parents
outside. Finally the police and fremen
managed to restore order
1t was then found that Frank Dziewickis,
aged s, and Frank Urban, aged 8 years,
were fatally injured, and twenty others
more or less seriously hurt.
OF this latter number the police surgeons
are confident that none will die, although
there are many cuts and bruises and some
broken homes
