STORIES or THE DAY.


36-Co0gressman O'Nsill - Missouri 90
His Loyal Friend.
Ex-Congressman O'Neill Of Missouri.
who was in the city for . week or ten
days recently, has friend In Washing
ton. a Frenchman, who has the happy
faculty Of beguiling the hours in such
pleasant manner that the Missourian
often gets to bed long after the chimes
Of midnight have tolled the beginning
Of another day. About 8 o'clock a. m. .
few nights ago it occurred to O'Neill
that nature had come claims upon him
OF paramount importance with those Of
his French friend, and Just for blum
he suddenly broke off the conversation,
which took place in the lobby Of the
hotel in which the retired statesman
was staying, and said to the clerk in q
loud voice:
Call me at 8 80. I've got to take ar
early train"
The Frenchman excused himself hur-
rledly and departed, and with a heart
rejoicing in the success Of his strategem
O'Neill sought his couch and prepared
to press it until the dinner bell should
summon him to his days task, for he
had no intention CT leaving for several
days to come.
About 6 :l5 O'Clock violent rapping
at his door aroused him from the sweet
est part OF his slumbers, and q famili
voice in the corridor was heard to ex-
claim:
"Pardonez moi, Meester O'Neill.
Eet's nearly seek O'Clock
Hang it!' exclaimed O'Neill,
whats that to me? Go away and let
me Sleep
At this the pounding at the door be-
came more violent than before.
"But you sed you wanted to geet oop
to catch ze train. and 20 hat COON to
wake you, Geet oop, geet oop, or you
will meez re TRAIN" and the pound
ing continued.
French friend insisted on making him
get up and open the door. Then he ex-
planned that he had heard him tell the
clerk to call him in time for the early
train, but as he had kept him 80 late the
night before he feared that the clerk
might forget, and accordingly had come
to the hotel to see that he did not over
sleep himself.
''You burned old muttonhead I" ex-
claimed the Missourian. Don't you
know that I left that order just to get
rid Of you, because wanted to 60 to
bed and get some sleep? Don't You
know it was all bluff?''
"Bloof?'' exclaimed the Frenchman.
'Bloof. Meester O'Neill2"
Eyes, bluff I" repeated O'Neill.

Promoted For Disobeying Orders.

Promoted For Disobeying Orders.
While the war stories were on Tues
day night Mr.. Sherfesse called upon
Major T. G. Beckham to tell how he
was once promoted for disobeying or
ders. For some reason, no doubt on
account Of the majors modesty. the
story was not told. A number of peo-
pie were anxious to hear the story, and
the reporter made it point to get some
body to tell it. Here are the circum-
stances: 1t was at second Manassas. A
large body Of the enemy was pouring a
destructive fire into the regiment Of
which Captain Beckham was q member.
To stand still was to be shot down.
and Of course the captain was not Of the
kind to ever think Of going back. He
sent to the colonel and asked permission
to advance. The colonel ordered him
most peremptorily to stay where he wae.
His men were falling thick and fast all
around, and he determined to stand it
no longer. He ordered his company for
ward. It went at double quick and
half the regiment followed like thun-
derbolt. Soon the woods were swept
clean and all the Yankees who remained
ON the ground were dead. Shortly after
ward Captain Beckham received an or
der to 60 to the headquarters Of General
Jenkins and make explanation.
He thought he was in for q court
martial and was ready to hand in his
resignation. The colonel had already
explained the situation and explained
1t fairly. Captain Beckham admitted
that he had disobeyed orders, but said
he had ordered forward no other COM
pany except his own. General Jenkins
told the colonel that he could have an
opportunity to resign, and then, turn
ing to Captain Beckham, he said: eco
back to your regiment. You are q ma
jor." Captain Beckham tried to make
an explanation for his colonel. General
Jenkins cut him short with the remark,
my orders must always be obeyed. -

Gives His Views On the Language
Questions.

Biddeford June 15.-In answer tosa let
ter written him by the editor of the
L'Ourier Catholique of this city, asking
more definitely for his views on the Ian
guage question, the apost olic delegate
has sent the following reply:
II have never intimated thought it a
bad thing for strangers who have come to
this country to retain their knowledge
and use of their native tongues or to
teach them to their children The advan-
tages of SO doing are perfectly evident.
But at the same time / have always
maintained that it would be foolish and
extremely impudent for them to attempt
to retain their foreign language as the
only or principal means of communica-
tion in a country where another language
is already in universal possession. To set
up distinctigely French community in
this country with the intention of main
tanning it as a distinctly French com :
munity for all time to come would be a
most nnwise thing to attempt; and what
/ say of a French community mean to
apply equally as well to italian, German
and all other nationalities. If the matter
be left to the natural working order OF
surrounding circumstances there can
never be any real difficulty presented 1t
is only from training in either direction
that trouble can arise. -

A GREAT WORK.
The State Street St. Church Has Raised
Nearly 500, 900 in Two Years.

At the State street church yesterday,
before the sermon, Rev DIR. Jenkins made
a statement that must have been mat
ter Of great qualification and pride to the
congregation. The doctor stated that 1t
cost s62 600 for the remodelling of the
church and repairs, and for the new or
gan, the only one of its kind in the state.
This sum had been raised and also be-
tween $50, 600 and s37, 900 addition for the
running expenses, donations and other
charitable work, making grand total of
between S9s, 600 and 500, 600 raised during
the past two years He thought it emf
nently proper under the circumstances
for the congregation to sing the Doxolo-
gy which they did with will. The doc
tor then delivered a most impressive ad-
dress on 'sFaith to do Good Things. y

Trouble on Chatham street..

Officer Pillsbury fell into family dis
turbance on Chatham street last night.
As. he was passing there girl ran out
screaming for the police and very shortly
the police as represented by the officer
were on the scene. Thomas De Cost, ST.,
and Thomas De Cost, Jr, had had an
unpleasantness that might almost be said
to have developed into a quarrel. In
the argument that had taken place
Thomas, the elder, had lent force to one
of his remarks with fatiron and when
the officer entered the young man was
stretched out behind the stove with two
CHASTITY wounds in his head. Mrs De
Cost to change the subject had thrown
a pitcher or plate, or some crockery ar
ticle, which had come in violent contact
with the countenance of Mr.. De Cost SC
he was not exactly fair to look upon.
The whole party were taken to the station
where the doctor took number OF
stitches in the head of Thomas, Jr.

Halifax, June 15.-The St. Johns, N,
F., sealing steamer Kite, has been char
tered to proceed to Bowdoin bay next
month with an expedition to relieve
Lieut.. Peary, who has spent his second
winter there, this time in company with
only two others, Hugh M. Lee of Meriden,
Conn, and Matthew Henson, colored
servant
The balance of Peary's companions re-
turned last September in the Falcon, and
he remained to attempt to reach far
northern latitudes over the icy crust Eof
Greenland, with the help of these two.
The Kite has been chartered for three
months, and the expedition will consist
of ten members under the direction of
Emile Diebitsch, Mrs Peary's brother.
and explorations of the Greenland coast.
independent of the main obiect.of the
expedition, will be pursued. The party
will join the ship at St. Johns and give
her up on their return to that port. Mrs.
Peary will not go north this year, but
will come to St. Johns in time to meet her
husband when the expedition returns.
The start from Newfoundland will be
made about the middle of July. The
only difficulty now in the Way is a can
tain for the Kite with the necessary ex-
perience of Arctic navigation. Capt. Ash
is the first choice of E. r. Bowring. the
owner of the Kite, but it is doubtful if
his services can be secured.
