Washington artillery was

ashington artillery was
an City, there were many strik-
ing incidents that sprang out of the GER
emonies of defeating Fort Star and of
practicing with the solid shot. The
whole day the war and its memories
were kept before the people, but it was
not reawakening in which the bloody
shirt had any play, but more of a
thoughtful retrospection, in which the
recalling of battles was not with bitter
ness, but with an impartial sadness.
Among the happenings of the day none
was more singular and noteworthy than
one which occurred to Colonel Richard
son, the commander of the battalion.
1t was during the time when the bat
teries were firing shell at the two tar
gets, which looked like tiny handker-
chiefs on the water, they were so far
away. A good shot was fired, and the
spectators were applauding the excellent
craftsmanship, and the colonel stepped
up to the gun to commend the gunner,
when without cause or without knowing
why the memory of similar shot which
had been fired 80 years ago almost to the
very day flashed into his mind when he
had stepped up to gunner and compli-
mented him in much the same style.
1t was when he was at Fort Malone at
the siege of Petersburg, which was
known as Fort "Damnation, when the
shot 30 years before had been fred, and
the Fourth of July was almost the ami
versary of the very day. Instead of
white targets for mark it had been the
tops Of two Sibley tents which peeped
over the ramparts of Fort HELL" Just
opposite Fort Domination" They were
the tents Of the Federal officers. He knew
that from deserter who had informed
him, also that the officers of the whole
command held daily consultation there,
and that he could tell the time from the
fact that they hitched their horses around
the tents
Colonel Richardson was then cap
tain in the Washington artillery, and he
conceived the idea of scoring point on
the Federals by firing on the tents Just
at the time of the daily consultation.
He selected the best gunner in his COM
mand and told him what he wanted him
to do, and that was to load and prepare
the guns for special shot which he was
going to direct them to make the ensu-
ing day. The young captain was sure
that he had gunners he could depend up
on, and to make his triumph .Saas,ss,,,r, ,,,.,

CARLETON AS A REPORTER.
How the Playwright Wrote Up an Account
of a Primary Election.

Henry Guy Carleton, the now success
full playwright, used to be reporter on
the Chicago Tribune in the good old
DAYS when Sam Medill was managing
editor and Fred Hall city editor. One
day he was assigned to do Democratic
primary out on Archey road. " lie re-
turned to the Office at night with his
face beaming with enthusiasm and with
as much rapidity as his hating tongue
would permit-he suffered dreadtully
told Mr.. Hall what funny experiences
he had gone through. OF course Mr..
Hall told him to write it up, F." and
that's what Carleton did to the best of
his marked ability-described the odd
characters at the polls, pictured the &C.
centricities of the old times in the ward
and threw such a humorous glow over
the many brawls that the Objectionable
features of the system Of elections was
lost sight of. Mr.. Hall read the copy
and chuckled loudly - compliment
enough for any reporter-but when he
had finished the report he called Garlic
ton into his den and said,. with that
quiet irony for which he will always be
remembered:
Carleton, you do not seem to have
learned the names of the delegates elect
ed?''
Henry Guy was forced to admit that
he had ''for- forgotten" that little
incident.
"Well," resumed the city editor,
with aggravating explicitness, you GO
right down here to the corner Of State
and Madison streets and take an Archer
avenue car. When you get out to the
polls, you alight and hunt around in
the gutter till you find enc ticket of each
kind voted, and then go to the nearest
saloon and learn which ticket was elect
ed"
Carleton returned to the Office about
1 O'Clock in the morning, and he had
the right ticket. Chicago Mail

This charge resulted in the unusual spec
tacle of Santa Maria and his friend, Ma
son earns, two typical Parisians volun-
tarily coming over here to offer their testi-
mony in protecting the wife's good name
But they had no opportunity to testify,
for Glbert's lawyers surprised the counsel
for Mrs. Gilbert by putting in no defense
to her allegations, except the testimony of
Gilbert himself as to his reduced income.
The charges of her infidelity, harped upon
by innuendO throughout her cross eXami-
nation, were not touched upon in the de-
Tense. This action resulted in gaining
public sympathy for Mrs. Gilbert, the pre-
vailing opinion being that Gilbert had
made charge against his wife he had no
proof of. Mrs. Gilbert had a stack of aft
davits from Paris to prove that her hus-
band bribed witnesses to testify against
her.
Santa Maria was ''as mad as March
hare when he learned that the case had
taken such a course that he would not get
a chance to refute Gibert's accusation.
But if he could not testify in court he
could talk through the newspapers, and
talk he did. He told all he knew Of the
Giberts, giving the wife unlimited praise
and calling the husband coward and a
cur.
In October, 1898, Santa Maria sailed
for France to take up his duties as an at
tache of the Colombian legation in Paris.
Even then he was bristling for an oppor-
tunity to meet Gilbert. Gilbert did not
start for Paris until February of this year,
When he landed, he fatty announced that
he would fight duel with Santa Maria
Since then there has been a lot of talk,
but it looked as though it would end in
smoke. F"
Mrs, Gilbert is in France. The report
of the duel was a surprise to her, as she
never hesitated to say she did not believe
her husband had the COURAGE Of q mouse.

AN INTERNATIONAL SCANDAL.
THE Gibert-Santa Maria Case Said to Have

eliminated In Duel.
The Gilbert scandal, which, if cabled re-
norris he true, eliminated in duel in
paris the other day between Audinet Gil
hort Of New York and Manuel del Pillar
do Santa Maria of South America, has
furnished the gossips of Paris and New
York. in the social circles of which cities
all the parties concerned are we'll known,
with subject for talk for more than three
wears 1t has been as full of situations
and developments as French novel, SO 1t
has never grown wearisome.
The Giberts are one of the oldest, most
bichIy respected families in New York.
Audinet's father was Frederick Gilbert,
once president of the New York club and
a society leader. Audinet married Annie
r. Reed, daughter Of Edgar Reed, an old
New York business man, in 1878.
Young Gilbert had an income of about
$4,000 a year and knew how to enjoy it.
He never worked; but, with his wife, he
led a butterfly existence in New York until
1881. Then they went to Paris and there
dreamed away two or three years. Thei1

the stories each has told, a symphony of by
meneal bliss Then the green eyed monster,
jealousy began to play part.
At the race track in Paris Mrs. Gilbert
met Santa Maria, the South American
senior with the long name. He called on
her frequently, and Mrs. Gilbert admitted
that he was really very kind and devoted,
but declared, and her husband failed in
his utmost efforts to prove otherwise, that
the relations between her and Santa Maria
were Of the most proper character.
However, in 1885, while Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbert were returning to this country, the
husband accused the wife Of infidelity and
named Santa Maria as her companion.
She denied it, and they had a terrible
quarrel. She told him he had such beastly
habits he was making her life burden.
He said she must give up al her male ac-
Quaintancas, including the hated Santa
Maria She agreed she would do SO if he
would reform.
They finally agreed that it would be
best to separate. He made aWTitten agree
ment to allow her 81, 500 a year for life.
In spite of this they lived together at the
Hoffman House after reaching New DIRK.
Wuen they returned 10 Edfla, NlJcit
took separate apartments, but visited his
wife occasionally. His calls grew less IRE
quent and then he began to hedge on his
money allowance to his wife. They had
no children, and, according to the wife
testimony Gilbert used to threaten that IL
ever a child came hewould kill it by stick
ing pins in It's head. The wife further
put in as evidence against her husband in
the later legal proceedings testimony
that while he was occupying separate
apartments in Paris he drank to excess,
smoked opium, ate hasheesh and gave
most of his waking hours to the study Of
art of a style Anthony Comstock will not
tolerate
In 1891 Mrs. Gilbert decided that she
must set a divorce, Her husband, on rep

The Victorious Pipe.

If we are to believe the enthusiastic
advocates Of smoking, tobacco will be
as important in the next great war as
medical attendance. In the Franco-Ger-
man war it was the pipe against the Gig
arctic. The Germans pipe is large
enough to hold an ounce Of tobacco;
the Frenchman's Cigarette is a mere
pinch, and the French were often with
out this small amou1lt Of nerve food and
consolation. The German authorities
were not more anxious to give their
troops plenty Of food than they were to
provide them with an ever fall pipe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13--The assem-
blage of Coxeyites, Galvanites and So
called industrials, who have been
camping at Rosslyn, were driven from
the soil of Virginia shortly before day
break this morning by the militia of
that state. The raid was made with
out the least resistance from the
armies. The house, which had been
erected from boughs of trees, straw,
hay and other materials, was burned
1t was said that there was between
500 and 200 men in camp when the raid
occurred. Three men were too sick to
be forced and were allowed to remain
in camp. Gen. Anderson sent the sur
geon of the militia to give them medi-
cal assistance and they were removed
to the hospital to-day.
The district authorities are not lit
tie vexed at the summary action of
Gov. O'Ferral in forcing the industrials
from Virginia soil, as during the past
few days satisfactory progress in hav-
ing the men returned to the west has
been made. The industria1s are still
on the aqueduct bridge, uncertain of
what will be their next experience.
