New YORK, July 1.-The Pittsburg
correspondent Of The Sun says that
Chairman Frick, of the Carnegie Steel
company, is acting under direct instruc-

instructed of the progress of things and
the outlook, and has kept in close touch
with affairs at Homestead.
Carnegie, it is asserted, is determined
absolutely to maintain the stand his
company has taken. Frick has received
Carnegie's ultimatum that the company
will hold out on its present lines to the
end, no matter what the end may be;
that Carnegie will not sanction the re-
employment of any of the discharged
workers, and he declares he will hold
out until grass overgrows the mills
rather than give in to the association.

The Jew as a Soldier.

Some of the letters which E. H. Levy
is receiving in answer to his request for
data on which to base history of the
record of Hebrew soldiers in the civil
war contain references to incidents that
are extremely interesting. Robert E.
Park, who is proprietor of the Holton
stock farm, near Mobile, Ala, and who
was captain in the Twelfth Alabama
regiment, wrote that there was Jew
ish company in his regime mt called the
Garde La Fayette. Its commanding
officer was Captain L'Etondal of Mo-
bile and he led his company at the bat
tie of Gaines Mill. L'Etondal, Cap
tain Park says, "was very large man,
weighing nearly 300 pounds. He always
dressed elegantly, and during the fight,
while the suns rays were very hot and
burning, he raised an umbrella, and
despite the protest from other COM
panies and other officers in the regi-
ment, he held it over his head during
the entire battle, attracting the fire of
the enemy. His brave men sustained
him in his reckless daring and insisted
upon his keeping his umbrella raised.
Several of his men were wounded near
the umbrella, but he was himself I'M

An Army Kitten.

One evening, toward the close of the
war, while Union soldiers lay in camp
on hillside near the Stanton river,
Va, the cry of Halt who goes
there?" from sentinel, started every
lounger to his feet; and several of the
more curious ran to the guard line to
to find out what the trouble was. A
minute later all knew that the night
visitor who had been challenged was
no enemy. A little girl about ten years
of age, holding white kitten in her
arms, came forward into the light of
the fires, conducted by two soldiers,
who had told the sentry to pass her in,
and who looked as proud as if they
were escorting a queen. The whole

self-gathered to look at the child and
hear her tell her story. A very short
story it was-scarcely paragraph; but
there was matter enough in it for full
chapter. She lived near by with her
father, who was sick and poor; and
they were Northerners, she said, and
"Union folks" Her mother was dead,
and her brother had been killed while
fighting in the federal army. She
wanted to give something" and when
the Union soldiers came she thought
she would bring her pet kitten and pre-
sent it to the colonel. The colonel
took the little girl in his arms and kissed
her, and the kitten, too, and said he
was not bit ashamed of his weakness.
He accepted the kitten with thanks,
and its innocent donor was CALAMITY
waited on to her humble home loaded
with generous contributions. The
white kitten was adopted by the regi-
ment, but considered the property and
special pet of the colonel, and when
the war was over he took it home with
him. Like the white lamb that staid
and fed with the victors after the bat
tie of Antietam, that little creature, dur
ing the short but stirring army life, was
daily inspiration to better feelings and
thoughts in the presence of all that is
just-a living flag of truce cleaning
among the thunder-clouds Of human
passion and strife.
