1.-THE WAR is OVER"
Son OF q Famous Confederate General Ad-
mitted to West Point.

Son or q Famous Confederate General Ad-
mitted to West Point.
One of the strongest illustrations that
the war is over is furnished by the list
of cadets appointed to the Military
academy at West Point, in which ap-
pears the name of George Mason Lee Of
Virginia For the last two and half
years George Lee, who is n son Of Fitz
Hugh Lee, has been student at the
Virginia Military institute, where he
not only stood well in his classes, but
attained the rank of color sergeant Of
his company.
Three of his kinsmen have preceded
him ut Uncle Sans training school of
warriors, Robert E. Lee having been
his granduncle, G. w. @. Lee his uncle
and Fitz Hugh Lee his father, recently
appointed consul general to Cuba Rob-
ert +. Lee graduated second in his class
in 1898, G. w. Q. Lee graduated at the
head of his class in 1864 and was sent
to Europe in the engineer corps, and
after Fitz Hugh Lee had graduated he
rose to the rank Of n captain in the
United States army. This commission
he resigned, however, to follow the for
tunes of his Uncle Bob, under whom he
subsequently gained renown as COM
mander of cavalry.
AT the recent examination Of candi-
dates for the cadetship ut West Point
the fourth scion of the house Of Lee
passed most creditable examination.
His friends arc confident that Mason, as
he is called, will give good account of
himself at the Military academy. Chi

Columbus Suburb.
Matilda Gale, colored, nearly 80 years
old, filed q suit of an extraordinary ma
ture in the common pleas court at Co
lumbus, o. Her petition states that ND
to 1885 she was a slave, owned by
Smith Slaughter of Virginia. In 1886
Slaughter set all of his slaves free and
gave them q reservation, consisting of a
large tract of Virginia military land
near Columbus. She and her husband
came north with the other slaves and
settled on the land. They remained
there until 1864, when her husband was
accused of stealing horses and compel
led to leave the country. They went to
Colorado and remained there until 1898,
when her husband and she returned to
Ohio.
She says she never sold her interest
in the property, and expected to find it
when she returned. Upon arriving at
Columbus she found that the village of
Hilliard had grown up ON it, and that
the land had been divided into resident
lots and sold off by man named Thorn
as Davidson There is a deed on file in
the recorders office which purports to
be fee simple transfer Of the land from
Mrs. Gale to Davidson.

any one else such q deed, and says she
could not have done so had she desired

ONE OF MACEo's RusES.
A Captured Trumpcter Ueed to Lure q
Spanish Company Into Ambush.

n Captured Trumpeter iced to Lure o
Spanish Company Into Ambush.
"Maceo." said an aid Of the Cuban
leader recently In New York, "acts with
amazing promptness and seldom takes
the trouble to share his mind with those
about him. Let me give you an instance.
You have heard Of the battle Of the de-
file? Here Is what occurred in that little
engagement: We were in the foothills
ON the edge Of a rough mountain road
over which wood was hauled for the
sugar plantations There WINS woodland
with underbrush on each side of the
road Here we were concealed, and the
Spaniards lay In sight ON lower ground
than that occupied by our command.
Maceo suddenly called me and said:
Get me Spanish trumpeter.
lyon know orders In each army are
given not by word Of mouth, but by the
trumpet, and there must be plenty Of
rumpeters to perform this service. The
trumpet is used not only in the cavalry,
but as we'll in the infantry, and the
common soldier comparatively seldom
hears the voice Of an officer.
Wondering what Maceo was up to,
took out few men, and we soon came
In with three trumpeters Maceo took
one Of them, placed weapon at his
head and said:
Sound the call of your company for
charge
"The Spaniard refused Again Maceo
gave the command, and again the Span
lard refused Maceo, pointing to the
other two captive trumpeters, said:
"'H you will not, one of these will
when you are put out of the way
"Then the trumpeter assented to give
the call. Maceo waved us all out Of
sight and listened while the call was
sounded From his place of concealment
he watched to see the effect upon the
distant troops The call was right, for
company began forming for the charge.
Maceo hurried off with his trumpeter,
and we all lay in wait The Spaniards
soon came Gathering up, and finding
only an open roadway, with no foe in
sight. they slowed down to walk as
they approached our ambush, and the
officers began lighting their cigarettes
and chatting together. When they were
well within our lines, we opened fire,
and the charging company was literally
cut to pieces. Maceo must have known
that there was scouting party of the
Spaniards close at hand when he sent
out for trumpeter, and this knowledge
suggested to him the scheme Of am
hush. New York Sun.
