know We Were near until we raped on the
door and asked them to come out and see
how pretty the weather was. Their reply
to this polite invitation was several shots
through the door. We then opened fire,
and those within replied. Finally ball
from one of our guns struck the magazine
of n winchester in the hands of one of the
outlaws, and a piece of the broken maya
zine cut a deep cash in the outlaws chin.
They all then retrcatei up stairs and kept
up the firing. We broke in the door and
fired into tie room above through the cell

to ring down the curtain and surrender.
They came down stairs with their empty
hands in front of them. and VIC gave each
of them pair of bracelets. 1t was four

tied to kin horses. Then the rangers lay
behind their dead horses and killed us like
grass. We tried to rush them Twice we
tried and failed After much time they did
not fire so fast We thought powder and
bullets all gone. Then, as we were going
to charge again. they all stood up. They
took off their hats and yelled We We're

BlACKMAIL THE BLUEBLOODS.
English Servants Learn Ugly Secrets and
Make Money Ont of Them.

No man is hero to his valet. neither
are there many ladies who are considered
in the light of Venus as regards beauty
or of Diana as regards purity in the eyes
Of their maids. This is particularly the
case in Europe among the aristocracy,
where, owing To the immense difference
that separates the classes from the masses,
persons of blue blood are wont to look upon
their domestic servants as mere pieces of
furniturc,s says the New York Journal.
Not that this implies unkindly treatment,
for, on the contrary, in the old world the
lot of menials is infinitely superior to that
of their fellow servants in this country.
No servant can be long in the employ CT
q patron in any intimate capacity without
sooner or later discovering some of the
secrets of the latter. These secrets need
not, of course, be necessarily of a criminal
character Very often they are of n nature
that would give rise to nothing but ridi-
Guile if laid bare to the public; but. what
ever they may happen to be, the employer
breads their being divulgcd, and servant
needs TO possess loyalty and principle alto
gether above his condition not To turn to
his or her own advantage this fear.
The records of the divorce courts go
TO show that nearly every suit is based
upon the testimony of servants. 1t is but

INSTRUMENTATION THE MARCH

Time Shows Its Effects on the Hen VINO
Fought for the Stars and Bars-Corner
Stone OF the Jefferson Davis Memorial
Laid BY the Masonic Order-Impressive
and Pathetic spectacle-Incidents OF the
Closing Day.
RICHMOND, July S.-The cornerstone Of
the monument to be erected in Monroe
park to the memory Of jefferson Davis
was laid yesterday afternoon with cere-
monies which were impressive and pathet-
ic. Under a bright sun and sky, through
densely packed streets, and with the ap-
plause of countless thousands to cheer
them on, the followers of the 'lost cause"
marched through the city which is dearer
to the old Confederate than any other in
the land. 1t was sight to stir the en-
thusiasm of the most sluggish nature, as
with bands playing, companies moving.
and colors flying the parade passed in re,
view. Two hundred children, boys and
girls, wearing white and red sashes, fol-
lowed the police who cleared the way and
led the procession.
Mrs. Davis in the Parade.
The chief marshal General Gordon, In
civilian dress, looked a royal commander
as did Governor OFerrall, who rode with
barred head. Mrs. jefferson Davis was in
an open carriage, and bowed and smiled
as the cheers greeted her on every side.
The sponsors and maids of honor, chosen
for their beauty from all the southern
states, rode in carriages following that of
Mrs Davis. The military, under command
of Brigadier General Phillips, represented
the pick of southern soldiers. North Caro-
lima was the first state to exhibit a battered
battle flag, and as it fluttercd in the breeze
it was greeted with great cheers.
The Vets Are Growing Old.
The veterans made the f,athetic picture
Of the parade. Nearly all are old, and for
the most part weak and feeble, but sum-
moning their remaining strength they
marched with pride and pleasure. A
large number of them carried sticks for
support, and many were compelled to use
umbrellas in order to Withstand the rays
| of the sun. On the.backs of many march.
| ors We're bullet-tOrn Confederate coats
old cantecns and knapsacks. Several
| darkies, true to their old masters, marched
with them in the parade, while two old
| ,nfedcratcs who probably had relieved
| the monotony of camp life with music in
war times, carried their fiddles and bows
Laying of the Cornerstone.
When the procession reached the park
the military formed a complete square
around the grounds, preventing any but
those in the parade from entering the en-
closure. The grand lodge of Masons, es
corted by the Knight Templars, marched
to the park, where the cornerstone was
laid with Masonic ceremonies. Praye,
was offered by Rev. DIR. George H. Ray
At the close of the Masonic exercises the
howitzers out on the Lee monument
grounds fired 4 salute of thirteen guns

WORD THAT WANTS A DEFINITION.
Patriotism" Is Interpreted According to
Circumstances Entirely.

Patriotism" Is Interpreted According to
Circumstances Entirely.
The orator of the day was General
Stephen ID. Lee. He paid a glowing trib-
ute to Jefferson Davis and in the course of
his address said: II cannot hold him
wise who would willingly wound the
patriotism of any citizen of the republic
To brand such men as Albert Sidney
tombstone, Stonewall jackson, Robert +.
Lee, or jefferson Davis as traitors is not
to stain the whiteness of their lives but
rather to spoil the word for any useful
purpose, to make of traitor title which
Hampden or Washington might have
borne as we'll had the fortunes of war
gone against them" jefferson Davis, he
added, stood the test of true greatness he
was the greatest to those who knew him
best.
The veteran cavalry held a meeting in
the morning to take steps toward erecting
a monument to General J. +. b. Stewart.
Colonel William II. Hemstrcet of Brook
lyn, made a speech in which he spoke
kindly of treatment he had received by
veterans and said he thought they were
all true to the American flag. But, he
added, he was disappointed to find so few
flags of the Union used by civilians in
decorating their houses.
Lieutenant George p. Hall, of Hanover
county, Va, replied to Colonel Hcmstreet
by saying the southern people do not wear
their patriotism on their coats but in
their hearts; the south was true as any
section to the Union, and if the president
should call for troops to oppose q foreign
| foe the south would be the first section to
| respond.
At the convention in the morning an
| invitation was presented from the Phila-
| dclphia brigade to attend the reunion Of
blue and gray at Washington Sept Is,
| when monument to the brigade will be
unveiled at Antietam. General Gordon
said the invitation would I've sent to the
various camps for action. Rev. J. Will
lam Jones was opposed to this on the
ground that this was the brigade that
kicked up the row in Richmond about
marching behind the Confederate flag.
General Gordon replied: DR. Jones be
longs to a church that believes in CONVEX
sion Our friends have long since re
pented of their action" Yes, but they
should bring forth fruits meet for repent

LOOKING TO THE LADIES
They VIII Be Asked to Raise Cycle
Path Funds.

owing to some misunderstanding the ian.
ltor 1alIed to open Market hall last night for
the mass meeting called by the Bicycle Path
association, and it was nearly 8 O'Clock before
access to the little room in the front mart ne
the building was secured. The attendance
was therefore small many of those who had
come early having gone away under the i'm
preston that the meeting would not material
lie. There were probably fifty present in
all.
A. B. Ovitt, president of the association
explained that the object of the meeting was
TO arouse interest among the cycIers In the
building of bicycle paths. Some 5000 had al.
ready been raised by the association. bur he
thought at least LOCO should be on hand be-
lore beginning the work. The county COM
missioners had promised to put some of the
country roads in shape so they would be good
for cycling, the government authorities had
promised to improve the road through the
Fort Smelling reservation, which, with little
improvement on the Minneapolis end. would
make good road to the Mill City, and he felt
sure the city authorities could be counted IN
to give some assistance. The bicycle men
should show their interest by contributing
toward the project themselves though as a
matter Of right, the work should be done with
public funds. They should also show that
they are anxious to have fast riding prohib-

FIGHTING AT BULUwAYo.
The Place Is Still Surrounded and I'm
Danger.

CAPE TOWN, April 21.-Capt Napier
with a force Of about 200 men, left Buluwayo
yesterday morning on a accommodating ex-
petition. The Matabeles, It was then be-
lieved, had removed southwark, intending to
intercept the relief corps advancing from
Mafeking. But the scouting party were sur
prised to find the Matabeles In great force
about five miles northeast of Buluwayo Ma
piers command was fired upon, returned
the enemy's fire, and then retreated in good
order. The return Of Napier's party cast
quite a gloom over Buluwayo, as it was be-
lieved that the extensive works of defense
around Buluwayo had convinced the Matabe-
les that the place was impregnable. It now
appears that while it Is true that several
thousand Matabeles have struck camp. there
are enough of them remaining in the vicinity
Of Buluwayo to cause the utmost uneasi-
ness. The relief corps is still a long way
off, and 1t may be two months before the
Mafeking relief corps can reach Buluwayo.
The situation grows darker every day in
spite Of the very effective means taken to de-
fend Buluwayo Fully 200 persons have been
killed by the Matabeles since the uprising
began, and men of experience in South Afri-
can warfare claim to see in the tactics of the
natives the guiding hand of the leaders of
the Transvaal burghers. They insist that
the Beers are arming for a struggle with
the British for the mastery in South Africa.
and that they are actively encouraged and as
sisted by Germany.
Latest adviees, from Buluwayo say that a
patrol near that place had brush with the
Matabeles yesterday during which hftv of
tie latter were killed.
