TWO MEETINGS WITH MILES

One night il the Office Of the Hotel
Raymond IN Pasadena, Cal. & said 3
traveller, 81 met General Nelson "a.
Miles Twas introduced to him BY Ma
jor Ben g. Truman The Office was q
big apartment with a great fireplace on
one side Of it. There were large rocking
chairs scattered about for the comfort Of
guests who chose to sit there, and it
was room to which ladies did not hes
itate to come il they had occasion to
visit it.
On this night there was a fire in the
great fireplace, perhaps as much for
cheerfulness' sake as any thing else, and
the big room was decidedly pleasant
place. General Miles, Major Truman
and myself sat there until 111o'clock.
The general talked freely and most In
terestingly. and to me it was most
enjoyable evening. I had always had
the heartiest admiration for General
Miles, had been a soldier myself
and thought should always remem-
Der that evening with qualification.
The next morning, while going out
Of the Hotel Nadeau in Los Angeles,
met gentleman who said Good morn
ing. l stopped and talked, but could
not possibly recall him. Presently he
said:
's'You don t remember mes
IT said I did not.
My name is Miles, he said.
'sWell, I wished that the Hotel Ma
deau had been getting in coal and that
there had been a convenient coal hole
open for me to slide into, but there
wasn't, and I did the best could under
the circumstances, which I guess was
poor enough, but the general was per-
fectly good humored about it, for which
l was profoundly thankful. .
Seeing the general in different
light, or amid totally different surround
ings and when had least expected to
meet him, coupled perhaps with some
degree Of natural Observation-Disclosures on my
part, had brought this discontinue upon
me, and chagrin over this second en-
counter with General Miles has always
materially lessened my enjoyment of
the first. New York Sun.

ST, Greek Entertainment.

The Xmas entertainment that
was given by the Sunday School
at Straight Creek church, on the
night of the 27tn, was much en-
joyed by the large audience present.
The singing was very good. Mr.
VIM. Samples had made good Sc
lection of songs and lad been train
ing his choir for the OCCASION, but
when the night came ne had been
caught by the prevailing epidemic
and he was not in a condition to
sing, much to his regret and to al ,
Mr.. Thomas Waggoner. the tenor
singer, had to take Mr. Samples
place as leader, and he and the
cloir did their part well. Miss Car
RE Armstrong, Of Doe Hill, was
present as the alto singer and rem
dered valuable aid.
There has been the most marke ed
improvement in the singing at
Straight Creek, in the last few
months, due to the interest taken
in it by VIM. Samples and Ihomae
Waggoner, as leaders, and their
faithful band of helpers, Wagon
ers, i,eyerages. Samples, Wilson's
Warmers, &c.
The recitations by the scholars
of the school were remarkably
good. Most Of them were entirely
inexperienced in appearing before
an audience, and they were so much
scattered that they had not al been
together until the night of the en-
tprtainment. Mr.. VIM. WILSON, OF
Straight Greek, had charge Of the
r.citations and it was demonstraS'
ed that he has a SPECIAL fitness fpl
such work. He had certainly done
his part well, as the children dc
theirs. The appearing of Santa
Claus was much enjoyed by the lit
10 ones, as he came in with his
paws IN his back. Between five

A Georgia Volunteer.

During the Valley campaign in

this county, was used as Confed-
crate hospital and mum Der of SOL

close of the war and the opening
of the Confederate cemetery at
Staunion all the bodies of the dead
were removed to Stanton. The
grave referred to below was over

on it. The author, who was sister
of Capt. Vim. Lyman who COM

over the South at the time and is

Nothing more manly has been
done upon the floor OF the Senate
for a long time than Senator Hills
defense Of Secretary Carlisle when
senator Teller charged Secretary
Carlisle with being incompetent
or dishonest and other republican
senators Joined in The abuse Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury. Sena-
tor Hill SAID: "lmblc le, incomPe-

Senator Hill added force to his
strong language by saying that if
anyone had suffered at the hands OF
Secretary Carlisle it was himselt

they had been igrored in the Fed
eral appointments in their own
state. But he added that he was
thankful that lie was predetermined
enough to recognize the unfagging
patriotism and devotion Of Secreta-
nv Carlisle to the country and his
ability in MEETING the require
ments of the occasions. And be
closed by reminding the Senate that
Secretary Carlisle was seeking to
act While his critics stood picking
flaws on this thing and that and
pickering in the face Of an emer-
| gency, Senator Hill made many
new friends by those few words. t
is natural American trait to adj
mire manlinesS,
1t is a fortunate thing that many
oe the bills introduced never get
any further than being printed.
For instance, Representative Clark,
of Iowa. has introduced IA bill which
if enacted into law. would in less
than twenty-four hours put ii pre-
MUM on gold and bring on a mon
py pane. This bill prohibits the
further redemption Of greenbacks
and Treasury notes with gold un-
til the gold reserve exceeds SlOO.'
100000, and also prohibits the re-
issue of hreen backs EXCEPT IN ex-
Change for gold.

TWO PEOPLE BADLY BURNED
Mrs. Mary Hawkins and Son Of ais East
Fifth Street the Victims

Mrs. Mary Hawkins and Son Of ais East
Fifth Street the Victims
Mrs. Mary Hawkins, aged "a years, mar
rowiy escaped frightful death last even
ing, and but for the prompt action and
presence of mind of her son, r. J. Haw-
kins, she would now be corpse. Mrs.
Hawkins lives with her son in the
rear OF their secondhand furniture
store, No. 215 East Fifth street, near Wall.
Last evening about o'clock she was in the
dining room cleaning up the dishes after
dinner, her son being in the front part of
the store. From some cause the lamp,
standing on the table, exploded. Just how
it happened is not known, but 1t is sup
posed that Mrs. Hawkins grabbed the
lamp with the intention of throwing it out
of doors, but, at any rate, abe
was covered with oil, which ran
down the sleeve of her dress, and
in few seconds she was mass of flame.
Erenzied by the pain, she dashed out into
the backyard, followed by her son, who
had been attracted to the scene by the ex-
plosiop. Taking in the situation at a
glance, he rushed to his mothers assist
ance, wrapping her in large rug and
smothering the flames.
Mrs. Hawkins was at once taken into the
house and DR.. B. o. Webb, whose office is
almost opposite, was called. An examin-
alton showed that Mrs. Hawkins was pain
fully though not dangerously burned. Both
hands and arms are badly scorehed, as
we'll as the right side and lower part of the
face. Late last evening Mrs. Hawkins was
resting under the influence of opiates. Mr..
Hawkins was quite badly burned about the
hands but was able to get about.
No damage was done to either the build
ing or contents.
