were ready for battle on the morning Of,
the 9th, and had they not been there
Early q columns would have been days

remained at Baltimore until Ricketts,
Joined HIM, he would not have held EARLY
west Of Frederick on the 18th and 9Th, and
that would have been another day 8 advan-
tage for the Confederates. The strong
position at the Monocacy bridges would
have fallen into their hands, and Wallace's
only chance for making fight would
have been In an open plain.
s The entire forenoon Of the 9th was
passed by EARLY In accommodating and
placing his troops for attack. Although
Wallace line was weak, it was well spread
out and looked aggressive. Finally Nc
Causland's cavalry forded the river below
the left extremity of Ricketts, line, and
General John B. Gordon's infantry veter-
ans followed. Meanwhile the Confederate
guns opened upon both bridges, and Ram
seur's infantry brigades marched to the
assault in front. Under cover Of McCaus-
lands flank attack and Ramseur's at the
| bridges Gordon formed his men in two
lines, parallel to the railroad and pike,
with the left resting on the river, facing
Ricketts, flank. During these movements
| the Confederate batteries rained shots
| upon the blockhouse and the guards at
the bridges and could not be silenced by
the fire of half dozen guns. To cope
with Gordon on his left flank, Ricketts,
| was compelled to swing his line squarely.

to south, of course weakening his de-,
Tense of the bridges in doing so. Two of
i the guns at the Baltimore bridge were
sent by Tyler to strengthen Ricketts,,
i thereby weakening the right flank and
endangering the line Of retreat, which
was by the Baltimore pike. The only hope
was in desperate fighting, selling life dear
~ to purchase brief delay and give time
for re-enforcements to pour into Washing
/ ton. Three times Gordon's columns broke
Ricketts, line by desperate onset but the
Sixth corps veterans closed up around the
gaps and beat them off. Twice they sal
lied out and drove Gordon's men from
captured ground. Part of the fighting
was along rivulet feeding the Monocacy,
and SO fierce was the struggle that it's wa
ter was dyed with the blood. Gordon
makes note of the extraordinary circum-
stance in his official report Of the battle.
With Ricketts, occupied in holding off
Gordon on the south, Ramseur's men met
kwith faint opposition along the river.
They carried the railroad and pike bridges,
and a battery galloped across to open fire
on the rear of Ricketts, line. That ended
hope for Wallace, but it did not end the
struggle. A few companies of provision

city Government In Germany.

If American municipal governments
were only half as carefully and Efficient
~ administered as those of Germany, we
in our free country could achieve splen-

bring a lesson to American mayors and

Doubtless some have wondered how it
was that cholera got no foothold in Ger
many after the summer Of 1892, though
it has appeared on the borders each
year. The reason is to be found wholly
in improved sanitation, particularly as
to the water supply. It was the pol
luted water of the Elbe drunk by sailors
and people along the river front at Ham
burg that spread the epidemic in 1892.
The largest and most complete filtration
plant in the world is now i'm operation in
Hamburg. It was not yet completed in
1892, or the cholera would not have ragged
so. A year ago it was opened.
The water of the Elbe when first let
into the filtering basins was found to
contain millions Of cholera germs to the
cubic inch. The water came out of the
splendid fltering machinery as pure as
if cit had been brought from high AL
pine sources" Beyond doubt the fill
tered water prevented the return Of chol.
era in 1898. Germs of typhoid fever
consumption and deadly epidemic dis
eases of various kinds are found in the
uniltered water supply of nearly all large
cities. When the world is civilized, the
water supply of every city will be filtered
as that of Hamburg is now, so that thu
poorest tenement house lodger shall
drink no either.
Berlin's streets are not only swept, bu
scrubbed, under assystem that costs les
than half a milliona year. The sewerage
system of that great city is famous. Sew
age is pumped from the main drains ou
into the country upon city farms, O
which there are atFpresent more than 81
square miles. Before the city bough

Fortunate it was that the beautiful
White City at Chicago is so well repre-
sented by photographs. They are strewn
like leaves all over the world. Nothing
but pure devilishness could prompt any
creature to set fire to the buildings that
remained to show the glory Of the world s
greatest exposition. There was nothing
to gain by setting them on fire, nothing
for anybody. It could not be revenge
that led to the wanton outrage, for there
was, nothing to be revenged. If the in
cendiary had been lunatic, it might
account for the fire, but that is not
likely.

A Bread Reform.

An Englishman, Mr.. Herbert William

dying for universal bread reform. If
it was reform that would put bread
into the hundred Thousand hungry mouths
in the country today, it would be to some
purpose. But that is not what Mr.. Hart
means. He says that improper diet-in

called bread, of the present generation
is the cause of all evil. f...s".se ="
IF we want sin and sickness alike to
disappear, we must go back to the whole
wheat bread which the apostles ate and
which enabled them to do their work.
The Romans and the beautiful Greeks
used whole wheat bread and no other.
So did Shakespeare, Mr.. Hart says.
Likewise SO did the poets, philosophers.
sages and heroes of all time. How Mr..
Hart knows that this was so perhaps it
would be impolite to inquire.
Hart declares that the present hard
times in America are due to eating white
bread. Brains and bodies insufficiently
nourished are incapable of thinking or
working properly. Therefore we could
not stand up and stave off the hard
times. The children are becoming pinch
ed, skinny and weak Of mind and body,
and an inferior type is rapidly being pro-
duced. Grown people are becoming
