Since the unvailing of Stonewall
Jackson's statue, this story about the
confederate general has com0to light:
On one rainy day, while advancing on
Bull Run, he started out to reconnoiter
in person, and got caught on the wrong
side of bridge guarded by field piece
and some federal artillerymen. When
he discovered this, jackson did not hes

the men. he shouted to the officer in
command: who directed you to put
that gun on that roof? Take it away
and mount it in the woods on the hill
yonder / never saw such piece of
folly. Here in the open ground your
men will be shot down from the brush
on the other side" On he went as
though in a terrible passion, berating
the officer, who colored, saluted, apollo
gized, and hastily gave the order for
removing the gun. jackson, with his
staff at his heels galloped off to the
left as though to pass down the stream,
made sudden turn, Numbered across the
bridge and escaped The befuddled Of

Queer Things women win Do.

Many a feminine qneerness is traceable
to environment rather than TO nature. A
hundred queernesses are born Of that ire
sponsibility and impracticability which for
ages have been forced upon women by
their attitude to life. Ibsen's Mora IS
ouly the exaggeration of a fact. Most
| women know, as she apparently did not.
that to forge name, though with the best
possible intentions, is perilous business,
but few women do not share that half
incredulous, half defiant attitude toward
fixed law and fixed fact of which Mora
offers an extreme example
Women have come through heredity and
experience to the general, unformulated
conviction that there is nothing they
oughtn't to have-if they can get it-and
nothing much they can't get, if they have
coin of tears or kisses wherewith to pay

AN OLD FRIEND.


The Fortunate Recovery of a Soldiers
Wartime Musket.
! One of the happiest men who returned
from the Gettysburg memorial encalnp
ment is G. w. Bishing, of Harvey's
Lake, Pa. He was a private in Capt.
Rice's company, Fifty-third Pennsyl-
vania volunteers. Bishing was shot
twice at Gettysburg, one bullet shatter-
ing an arm and another entering near
his right thigh. This occurred near the
bloody angle. and not far from the spot
on which the regimental monument
stands.
As soon as he received the wounds he
set to work to bury his musket He fell
near big rock, and, though suffering
great pain and bleeding profusely, he
managed to scoop out enough dirt at
the base of the bowlder TO slip his mus
ket into the excavation. Afterward
he carefully covered it, and wondered
whether he should ever see it again.
Bishing accompanied the surviving
members of his old regiment to Gettys-
burg on the occasion of the dedication
of their monument While there, ae-
companied by several old comrades, he
started out TO look for the musket he
had buried over twenty-six years ago.
The bloody angle was easily found,
and he soon distinguished the huge
boulder at whose base he had fallen
and where he had hidden the gun 1t
took but few moments to dig the earth
up when, to his joy, he struck the
old musket and quickly resurrected
it. 1t had the appearance of Rip Van
Wrinkles fowling-piece. The stock had
fallen apart but was still in a good state
Of preservation. The barrel was bound
about with thick coat of rust, and the
lock and other portions were in the
same condition.
Bishing lifted the old musket tender
ly, and as the recollection of the past
filled his mind, he kissed il with the
enthusiasm of father who has found
d long-lost child. He says he is poor,
but no money viii buy the musket-

Frank Shaw, who has returned from
Chicago, was seen yesterday by a repre-
sentative of the GLOBE regarding the
probable scene of the Fitzsimmons-
Hall fight. to come off in or near St.
Paul July %. Mr.. Shaw was unpre-
pared to go into details, as the articles
have only just been signed. and there is
plenty Of time for looking ND the battle
ground. There IS one thing absolutely
certain, though. and a very essential
thing. That is that the articles OF
agreement have been signed, the for
feltS have been posted. and $4,000 now
lies III the Merchants National bank.

less one of the principals drops dead
before he gets to the ring FitZSim-
mons will leave Chicago for Minnetonka
this week. He goes into training there,
and Hall has decided on White Bear
lake lie too Will arrive within week.
That the men mean business there is
not shadow of doubt. Hall swears he
has twice whipped FitZsimmons in fair
contests. and tine latter claims he can
make monkey of Hall inside of three
rounds. There is not enough difference

in the United States, and more
people will come to see it than
attended the National Educational
convention. This question as to where
the men shall fight would puzzle dip
lOmat. Naturally st. Paul sporting men
want it to occur here. and by the same
token Minneapolis people want the
greatest mill of the decade to take place
there. Now neither of them Will get
chance TO kick. The fight for the mid
dleweight championship of the world
will occur on the dividing line between
the two cities. in a building put up
especially for the purpose and capable
OF seating 10000 people. This looks
ike romancing, but it is the fact. A cir

rounding it. and the rest of the seats

short order. and in it the fight will be
fought. 1t Is safe TO bet that on Derby
day, '9t. there will be more people in
st. Paul than were ever seen III the city
at one time before, and people. too. who
spend their money. A few more Shaws
aud few less theorizers and orators
and there would be lively times and
plenty of business all the year round.

the Fourth Round.
Boston. April 25.-The fight between
Weir and Johnny Griffin, for the feather
weight championship of America. and a
Sl.100 purse, was stopped in the fourth
round by the police this morning, Grit
tiu undoubtedly having the best of it at
that time, having knocked Weir down
three times in the third round and twice
in the fourth. when the police inter
fered. Because of the prohibition by
local authorities, all attempts to pull
the fight off in Boston were abandoned,
and the crowd OF 500 interested sports
were privately notified that the bat
tie would be fought at Nantasket
Beach. On arriving here, however,
they were informed that COhaSSet, two
miles further. had been chosen. The
special train that took them from Bos-
ton took them to CohaSset. where. at
a. m, the fight. or what there was of it,
took place III q clam-bake pavilion.

gave way and some thirty of them were

work four days, and none of the games
have been prevented by rain. The
opening contests have strung out the
teams III very bad-loOking procession,
with Boston and Cleveland In front and
Cincinnati and New York bringing I'D
the rear. Such work as this would. of

lessly out of the race by the lst of July,
and probably bankrupt one or two of
them: but much evener work is looked
for during the coming week. Boston is
a dangerous competitor for any of the
teams. but nobody outside of the Forest
City believes Cleveland will remain long

Arson colts have been playing q great
