Johnston became generals in the Confederate army, and HardCo became lieutenant general. Thom- aS became n distinguished general in the Federal army. Among the captains were Earl Van Dorn, F. Kirby Smith and N. G. Evans, all of whom became generals in the Confederate army. I. N. Palmer, Gcnrgo Stoneman and R. w. Johnson held tho same positions in tho Union army. Among thu subalterns John B. Hood, Charles w. Field, Chambliss and Phifer became southern generals, and K. Garrard and others attained the same place in the northern army.

The MalTeable Iron Co officials claim that there is no demand for their wares, and that although the wages recently were ten per cent lower than in 1892 they have run a good deal of the time at loss. in order to give em- ployment to large number of men who were depending on them for support. as they could not obtain work anywhere else during the dull season. The works are closed indefinitely.
 Two of the strikers were in Waterbury to-day in search Of employment. They said they did not care to work there even though the increase in wages asked for by the men sh 1uld be granted The work is laborious," sad one of them, and the treatment barbarous."
 Most of the strikers arc single men and will probably leave the town. If the trouble is not soon adjusted. Indeed it Is said that less than fifty of the men are married. The others board with the few hat have homes,

 Miss Eaw n couple uf years ago was only known to possess a voice with phenomc- nal range, but it was question whether it was such one as would please the gen eral public. The experiment. has been made and has resulted in a manner which should be highly satisfactory to Miss Eaw, for pecuniarily and artistically she has per haps met with greater success than any concert singer that this country has pro duced during tho last 20 years.
 As an illustration of tho range of Miss Yaw's voice an old story may protltably be retold.
 Mozart once wrote of Milo. Ajugari, "She has a lovely voice, n flexible throat and an incredibly high range"
 Ajugari's highest note was c in altis- simo, but Miss Yaw reaches k above that with ease and purity, while her lower range-G below the treble clef-is many notes below that of the artist of whom Mo zart wrote. Miss Yaw's wonderful voice was first heard in Los Angeles by some one who knew its prospective value.
 But it is not by her voice alone that Miss Yaw attracts. She is free from af- fectations, so sincere, yet at the same time confident in herself, that her mien adds much to a personality that is natu- rally winning. She has been told by friends that she is n wonder. Great teachers have not discouraged this estimate great sing CTS have listened to her and praised, yet with it all her head has not been turned. Old friends, whose pleasure it has been to hear her since degree of renown has been won, say that she Is the same girl who left Los Angeles in the hope that under the tuition of masters her voice might one day mako her known. It has done this, and the promise now Is greater than then the hope had been.

Impressive Ceremony at thc sacred

 The new statue. "Our Lady of Pity" at the Sacred Heart church, was blessed by the pastor at the vespers service last even ing Before the ceremony Father Treanor made few remarks. He said that the day had happily passed when it was thrown in the teeth ot Catholics by those of other religious belief that Catholics worshiTped images. The statues Tn Catholic houses of worship are simply to impress more forci. bly on the minds of believers the scenes they represent. What words ever written or spoken, said Father Treanor. could more vividly bring to mind the death of the Savior than the statue of Our Lady of Piety" In conclusion he expressed him. self as pleased that the day had come when Protestants and Catholics could live together in harmony. There were many Protestants present in the church, who were impressed by Father Treanor's words of welcome and good will.

Easter Music.

Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 In considering the musical pre- gramlnes rendered at the various services yesterday one should not overlook the singing at the 7:30 mass at the Immacu- late Conception church by the pupils of the Notre Dame convent. aided by some voices from the Young Ladies sodality. Lamblllotte's oratorio of the Resurrection was beautifully sung. the chorus strong and spirited, the solos sweet and pure The communion hymn was gem. ren- dere1 with great feeling and pathos. Much praise is due to the madams of the Notre Dame convent, who directed the music. That their efforts in this dire ction are always marked with success has been often proved.

4 Goose OF More Than Forly.llye Years.

Colonel Il. Il. Jackson, of Sisk;you
County, who is ono of the commission
ers to the lair, - nnxiously awaiting
the appearance of n live goose which
is supposed to be on its way to this
city, and which, if its identity proves
what every indication points it to be,
will eiicciunlly knock the pins from
under NIL the tales told about goose
not living to great age. History
does not tell us at just what ago the
cold gray goose" died Of which the
old song trents, but the general inn
preston seems to be that tho fowl in
question seldom attains n greater age
than ten or twelve years. The evil
dencc Mt hand, however, would seem
to indicate tint hls gooseship, of which
this item treats, ism hale old fellow of
over forty-livo years. Colonel jack
son gives the following particulars of
the soosc's early history: "In 1919
and eight other Oregoninns ran across
Kit Carson and General Fremont
with Il small force of men near the
sink of the Humboldt III Nevada. They
had been rounded up by lot of In
dians, but we beat them OIL and all
went into camp together on tho spot.
PROVISIONS had got pretty low, and
one day Carson proposed to me that
we so out and try for some deer. We
started ont together and met with
poor luck, and while sopnnntcd from
Kit | took II shot Mt fat buck in the
brush, but he got away from me. Just
after [ fired 1 noticed iluttcring
sound coming from tho direction in
which had aimed, and upon invcsti-
CATION found II young goose, which
had been slightly injured, but had be-
come cntanglcd IN tho thick under
brush and thus prevented from escap-
ing. AT this juncture Carson came up
and proposed that we take rest, ut
the same time telling him that was
going to mark the goose and let it 20.
For this purpose L took the tin ting
which always came around the per-
cussioh'cap boxes furnished by Unclo
Sam ill those days, and marked tho
initials of my name and the date on
tho ting i'll heavy and enduring chnrnc-
ters with file which we carried to re-
pair the locks of our guns. This ting
was twisted around the goose's leg in
such manner rs to prevent its falling
of, and he was released That was the
last | ever heard CT the goose until Il
few days ago, when letter informed
me that Jim Sturgeon, editor of tho
Homer Index, had the goose in his
possession, alive and we'll. My infor-
mntion states that the tag is intact,
and that the initials are still plainly
visible. San Francisco Call.

Ants as Bridge BnilNers.

Tho following story, told by an
eyewitness, to the Rocky Mountain
News, is entitled to place among tho
instances OF Intelligence among tho
lower animals: A cook was much an
noyed to find his pastry shelves Mt
tackled by ants. BY careful watching
it was discovered that they came out
twice day in search offood, Mt about
seven in the morning and four in tho
afternoon. How were tho pies to DO
protected against the invaders? He
made circle of molasso, around them
and then watched results. He did not
have long to wait, for ut 6. so o'clock
he noticed that off in the left hand
corner of the pantry was line of ants
slowly making their way in the direc-
ton of the pies. They seemed like n
vast army coming forth to attack all
enemy. In front was leader, who was
larger than any of the other, and who
always kept little ahead of his
troops, They were of the sort known
as tho medium-sized red ant, which is
regarded as the most intelligent of its
kind, whose scientific name is Formica
rubra.
About forty ants out of five hundred
stepped out and joined the leader. Tho
general and his aids held council,
and then proceeded to examine tho
circle of molssses. Certain portions
OF it seemed to be assigned to the diff
ferent ants, and each selec uner-
rin8ly the points in the section under
his charge where the stream of
molasses was narrowest. Then the
leader made his tour of inspection.
The order to march was given, and tho
ants all made their way to hole in
the wall, at which the plastering was
loose. Here they broke ranks, and
set about carrying pieces of plaster to
the place in the molasses, until, at
IL 80 o'clock, they had thrown q
bridge across. Then they formed
themselves in line again, and marched
over, and by 11.45 every ant of the
forasing expedition was contentedly
eating pie.
