An Imperial Birthday.

LONDON, Oct, AUTHORIZATIONS
for the celebration of the En-
peror's birthday have been going
on for some time in all parts of
China. The present Emperor,
whose name is Kwangsii, and who
is only % years old, will celebrate
his birthday today. He is known
by sight to very few of his 100000
600 subjects, for the simple reason
that he cannot appear in public,
and even when he journeys out Of
the palace grounds at Picking he
is carried in a close sedan chair
and the roads are guarded to pre-
vent any curious intruders from
approaching the royal presence.
The birthday celebration will
probably cost many million dol
lars. Lii Hung Chang has made
special application for space on the
line Of the imperial procession
which he may decorate. The GUS
tom is for the Emperor to make a
pilgrimage to certain shrines near
Picking, and the route Of this pro-
cession is most deliberately adorn-
ed with silks, flowers, and objects
Of art, while the ground is covered
with silk robes and carpets.

Believe He Was Murdered.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 20.-Up-
on the request Of the widow of
VIM, Ripley, the member Of the
Della Fox company, who died in
New York from pistol shot
wound inflicted mysteriously, Cor
oner Mattox held an autopsy. Rip
ley lived several days after being
shot, much to the surprise Of the
physicians, but could not talk co.
herently. The widow thought he
had been sandbagged and not shot,
but the 32-calibre bullet was found
in the brain. The parents Of Ripley,
as also the widow, Mrs. Ripley,
says the New York detectives have
evidence that will disprove the
suicide theory.

The City Chess Club Tournament,
New YORK, Oct. 20.-The second
masters tournament under the
auspices of the City Chess club will

today. The event will be of special
interest to chess players, because
eX-champion Steinitz will COM
pete. This will be the first tim q
since 1883 that Steinitz has entered

benhaus, Jasnogrodsky, Delmar,
ID. G. Baird and Hanham. Games

Miles is Emphatic.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 90
General Miles, now at Anardarke,
|. T., in response TO an inquiry
whether in his annual report re-
garding the Chicago strike, in a
sentence stating that the troops
saved this country from a serious
rebellion when one had been pub
licly declined to exist by the one
most responsible for it's existence"
if he referred by zone" to President
Cleveland or Debs, replied as fol-
lows: "The language of my annual
report does not warrant any such
absurd misconstruction as con-
tanned in your dispatch. The earn
est desire and purpose of the Presi-
dent in maintaining the supremacy
of the law and civil government
and the restoration of peace with
the least possible delay is too well
known to be misunderstood or
lightly appreciated"

Raptist Church in Politics.

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 2O.-The
resolution introduced in the Bap-
fist convention pledging all Bap.
fist clergymen in this state to sup
port only those political candi-
dates pledged to prohibition has
been reported adversely. The rea-
son was sweeping and recommend
ed similar action by all members
of Baptist churches. The report
volunteered the information that
it would disrupt every church or
ganization in the state. Although
thelmajority the Of convention was
evidently in favor of adopting the
resolution Of the committee it was
thought to be better to have it laid
on the table until today in order to
placate some OF the more radical
prohibitionists.

He was found searching the wings

found in the theatrical wardrobe of

"No," said the leader, "don't stop for

him.

asked.
"Into the Malpais-the Evil Place." was
the awed answer.
"Yes, into the Evil Place." replied the

But more than one of the riders turned
in his saddle, too, and looked back as anxi-
ously over the fast-disappearing plain to
the dusty green line of chaparral that
fringed it on the west.
There, behind them, was water and life.

Some began to matter discontentedly,
and TO look back still more often.
Later they discerned some moving specks,
long way off, and gathering up their cour-
age in both hands rode on for a time with
renewed energy.
But it did take courage to do that for
they knew well that the worst of the evil
place was yet to come. The sand and the

straight through the enemy's lines and
then, being overtaken by darkness, re-
turned and gathered up the trophies as
well as they could in the darkness.
When daylight came on the morning of
the goth it was found that there was
large number of prisoners, baggage
wagons, ambulances, caissons, horses, and
such paraphernalia of war, and 45 pieces
of artillery in our possession. There is
no doubt in the mind of the writer that
if those regiments who were bringing up
the rear had been more active, the num-
ber of prisoners could have been in
creased by several hundred.
When the charging line swept over
and through the enemy's ranks, they
threw down their arms; then, as there
was no one to take charge of them, they
escaped to the woods, the dusk of even
ing favoring them. 1t needed only the
presence and poetical eulogistic pen of a
Tennyson to make this the most famous
charge known to history. That SAME
powerful imaginative mind that made so
vivid pen picture Of great blunder of
an incompetent commander in sending
the Light Brigade on its ride to death "
at Balaklava appear like brilliant
affair, could have made this charge to
victory as famous the world over. For
had the 9th n. Y. Cav and 1st VT Cav
faltered when they reached the south
bank of Cedar Creek, the position would
have been similar to that described as
the death trap at Balaklava. Or if the
brilliant mind of Buchanan Reid could
have been present to catch the inspira-
ton, it would have made this charge and
race to Strasburg, without exaggeration,
as famous as Sheridan's ride from Win

A farmer who lives in Colum biana Co.,
o., has reputation as a prognosticator.
He predicts: "Coans and 'possums have a
heavy growth OF fur coming on. The chip
mnnk and the squirrel are the busiest little
animals in the world. The insects have left
the north side of the trees in the woods, as
you will notice, and the feathers on the
geese are heavier than ever before. Ny
young lambs are growing wool that seems
marvellous, and sheep that have been sheared
are rapidly regaining their fleece. These
signs were visible in 1857 and 1858. An
other sign of a hard Winter is the large
hazelnnt crop. This means also that lots
OF boy babies will be born to take the place
OF those who will be killed in the coming
war"
These predictions are followed by others
of the same import. William McIlgrevy,

dieting weather for 40 years. He has no

as the lst Vt. Cav. came up on our right
and participated in the clash of arms.
We swept on to and over the enemy's
lines, each regiment exerting itself to its
utmost to keep the other from getting
ahead. This old friendly strife manifested
itself in a race towards Strasburg, along
the pike, which was filled with fleeing
artillery, caissons, ambulances, and bag
gage-wagons, with panic-stricken drivers,
who were so anxious to get away that
they blocked the road with vehicles of
every description. The work Of turning
these teams and wagons around and
starting them toward our rear was con-
tinued the whole distance Of five miles

pursuit, and the gathering up and pre-
venting the escape of large number of
prisoners, who under cover of darkness
made their escape. And it was only
known when daylight came on the
morning Of the 20th that the guns lost
were all recaptured and brought back.
This was one of the grandest and
most successful charges of the war, yet
historical writers barely mention it in
speaking Of this battle. If they mention
the cavalry at all they have done it in
such way as to leave the impression in
the mind OF the general reader that the
