mile after mile the splendid mountain

place. To sit down and wait until the
demand for The ransom came appeared
to our excited minds both cruel to the
captive girl and cowardly. But what
could we dof The question was solved
by CASTOR Lafague, a young French civ
IL engineer, who volunteered to ride to
the nearest town and get detachment
OF soldiers to go after the bandits. He
galloped off, leaving us all too excited
to turn to work, and wondering how we
would get through the weary hours
that must elapse ere he could return
with the soldiers.
But the time came and brought
neither soldiers nor Lafague. The
next day after the tragedy had dawncd,
and many of us We're preparing to sad
die up the mules and ride over to the
town after news of the Frenchman
when that individual appeared, on foot
end accompanied by Miss Cunningham
dressed in the native Peruvian costume.
They were both SO fatigued that they
could scarcely stand, especially Miss
Cunningham, and it was fortunate in
deed that they had no farther to travel
Of course, there had been rescue, and
3s it turned out a most gallant one; but
Lafague was very modest on the sub
ject and it was some time before the
rest of us learnt what had happened
during the interval of our waiting and
anxiety.
Iafague never reached the town.
Whilst still some miles from it the road
traversed a deep forest in the middle of
which he rode right into thecamp of the
bandits, who had halted there for din
ner. Of course he was made prisoner,
and that incident turned the whole tide
of the affair. There were in fact bus
four of the band with Castro, and it was
now decided that the latter, accom-
panied by two men, should at once &C
forward to their noun tain haunt whilst
the other two remained in the fores.
until Lafague could return to the miI:e
and secure the required ransom. OF
course they held all the trump cards,
as any attempt to outwit them would be
visited on the unfortunate prisoners.
So they thought, but they did not count
on the young Frenchman's wit and
pluck.
Crying out in French to Miss Cum
ningham to be of good cheer and ready
for a surprise, Lafague started on his
mission. So soon as he got out of sight,
however. he made detour through the
forest and came out on the mountain
road a couple of miles above the jungle.
There he awaited Castro, determined or
making a sudden coup He had not
long to wait. AS the three desperadoes
rode past, Castro ahead with Miss Cui.-
pingham before him on the saddle, La
fagUe's Winchester flashed twice and
the two hinder men reeled to the ground.
Then began an exciting chase. The
Frenchman had calculated on shooting
down the three bandits and rescuing the
girl without more trouble, but her po-
sition prevented his risking a shot at
Castro. The latter, finding that he had
fallen into an ambush, started off at
gallop; and away went Lafague pelting
after.
Unable to release his hold on the girl,
Castro could not use his rifle. and so

One of the institutions which has re-
ceived government aid for many years
is Howard university, an institution
founded soon after the civil war, by
Congregationalists, for the purpose of
educating colored young men. The
principal object of the university has
been, and is, to educate colored men
for the ministry. Gen. o. o. Howard,
for whom the university was named,
said: I'm teaching the colored people
religion these young men are educating
their people and making better citizens
of them. Therefore it is wise princi-
pie that the government should foster
the institution. We want to make all
of our people better citizens, and money

in their profession in this city. But
the Catholic church has control of The
hospital, and therefore it comes under
the head of sectarian charity, and will
be sadly injured if the government ap-
preparations are entirely cut off.
Garfield hospital, named after the
martyred president, was founded and
builded by the Christian chruch, COM
monty known as the Campbellite de-
nomination. 1t is not more than ten
years old, but much good has been ac-
comPlished there. Providence hospital
is located east of the capitol, near the
navy yard Garfield hospital is north
west of the capitol, the two institutions
being nearly three miles apart. The al
most universal opinion of the people in
the national capital is that both of these
institutions should be aided by federal
appropriations.
There appears to be considerable
legal merit, however, in the arguments
which have been made against appro-
priations of this character. Congress
man Hainer, of Nebraska, said: 1.-THE
Salvation Army is doing great deal of
good among certain classes who are
overlooked by our regular church or.
CARNATIONS. The Salvation Army peo-
pie go out into the highways, the by
ways and hedges, ministering to the
physical well as spiritual wants OF
the meek and the lowly. 1 can see no
reason why the congress should not ap-
propriate $4,000 or more per annum for
the Salvation Army charities, when we
are giving hundreds of thousands to
other sectarian charities. Consequent
ly, 1 believe that halt should be called
upon this method OF appropriating gov
ernment money"
During the discussion in the congress,
which was carried on nearly all winter,
our good people became active lobbyists
for the appropriations. When the
District of Columbia appropriation
bill was reported to the house
of representatives last January it
was vigorously debated by many
members. Part of the time the
debate grew fierce and personal, As
the gentlemen nagged each other with
their extreme views. BY a large ma
jority the house of representatives
finally voted that the appropriations
should not be made. Then, when the
bill was before the senate, our Catholic,
Congregational, Campbellite and othes-
denominat,onal leaders made it theip
business to call upon the senators ano
state their cases.
mittee on appropriations all received
calls and heard arguments on the sub
ject. After it was ascertained that a
msjority of the committee would favor
the charities, our good people went
after the other members of the senate,
until the entire body of 50 senators had
been visited and labored with success
fully There was never any lobbying
more vigorous and earnest; and nobody
found fault with it, save the representa-
tives who were so ardently opposed to ap-
of that character They,
with their friends. also called upon the
senators and personally argued with
them against the proposed appropria-
tons. But the friends of the institu-
tipns won the fight. for the senate in
sisted upon their amendments until the
house of representatives yielded with
the proviso that after one year no such
appropriations shall be made.

TO INVITE SECRETARY CARLISLE.
The Citizens Industrial Commits
tees RESOLUTIONS.

tees Resolutions.
AS stated in the Morning News within
the last few days, a movement is on foot
to bring Secretary Carlisle to visit sa-
vannah at his earliest convenience and
deliver an address on the financial ques-
lions OF the day The first public step
in this movement was taken yesterday
afternoon at the meeting of the Citizens
Industrial Committee, when the follow
ing resolution was proposed by Mr.. W.
w. Chisholm and unanimously adopted:
That this committee requests that Hon.
Herman Myers, mayor of the city, Mr..
w. w. Williamson, president Savannah
Cotton Exchange, Mr.. d. G. Purse, pres
ident Savannah Board of Trade, to Coop
crate with Hon Fleming 6. duBignon in
extending an invitation to Hon. j. G.
Carlisle to visit our city at as early a
date as convenient for the purpose of
addressing our fellow citizens on the finan-
cial question, which is being so largely
discussed, and which we believe is dis
turbing the business interests of our whole
country.
Similar action will doubtless be taken
by the commercial bodies al once ana
the proposition made in the above reso-
luton put into effect There is probably
not a city anywhere in the country where
the Secretary of the Treasury would re-
ceive warmer welcome or secure a larg-
er or more attentive audience. The peO-
pie of Savannah are sound on the money
question, but they like to keep Up their
schooling, as 1t were.
Hon. F. G. duBignon wrote the secre-
tary recently urging him to come here
and give the people of this section a talk
on the financial issues.
The board Of trade will hold a meeting
this morning at II o'clock for the purpose
Of passing resolutions urging Secretary
Carlisle to come to Savannah. The Sec
rotary intended to come to Georgia dur
ing the present month but has recently
decided that he could not do so on account
of the pressure of public business. A
strong effort will be made however, to
have him change his mind and the other
commercial bodies, and perhaps the city
council, will pass resolutions extending
him an urgent invitation.
