who, oddly enough, has not had any
war service. He won it away in the
South seas one day, when a boats
crew Of liberty men, of whom he was
one, went ashore on island inhabited
by cannibal savages. The sailors were
attacked by the natives, and this man
displayed such conspicuous heroiSm in
the ensuing struggle that he was
recommended for, and received the Vic
toria cross
1t Is a sad commentary on the way
in which old soldiers and sailors are
locked after to have to state that many
of the applications which reach Col
Glldea are indited from warehouses; or
other homes Of poverty and helpless
ness. One Of these veterans has had
no less than thirty-fve years service
in the regulars, militia and volunteers,
and yet is not entitled to a pension,
and of course, receives none. In all,
about 300 old soldiers, together with the
Chelsea pensioners, will be inspected
by the Prince of Wales. 1t is hoped
that there also will be on the ground
representatives of the various colonial
troops that have come over for the
jubilee.
Fifty girls from the Soldiers .Daugh-
ters' home at Hampstead. a Similar
number from the Guards Industrial
school, and fifty boys from the Duke
Of Yorks school, will form choir on
the occasion, and there will, Of course,
be plenty Of military music. After the
inspection the Princess of Wales will
receive purses containing donations in
aid of the Nurses homes, and then the
veterans and the Chelsea pensioners
will sit down to an evening meal in
the great hall of the hospital.
1t is proposed to give each veteran
a jubilee pipe and present of tobacco.
The pipes are being made to special
design, and will form a handsome and
interesting souvenir for the old men.
Many of the men who will be present
on this occasion, or at least very
good percentage of them, distinctly
remember the day when the queen was
crowned, and they have grown old
with her 1t is a most touching COM
mentary upon the position held by the
queen that even the most poverty
stricken Of these old veterans, even
those to whom after years of glorious
service the necessaries Of life are prac-
tically denied, are among her majesty's
most loyal subjects. They seem to re-
gard the queen with an affection that
is as pitiful as it is disinterested.

The occasion will be a grand garden
fete IN the grounds of the royal hos
pital, which is under the especial
patronage of the Prince of Wales It
Is on this occasion that the review OF
the pensioners and veterans will take
place. When one considers what a
tremendous record of warfare these
men will represent, it seems almost be-
yond belief. The whole affair is under
the charge of Col. Hugh Gildea, who Is
chairman and treasurer of the Soldiers
and Sailors Family association.
When the work Of arranging for the
meeting of these veterans was begun,
the very greatest difficulty was found
in tracing the survivors of the early
campaigns of the reign The searchers
finally turned to the pension list, how
ever, which proved Of great assistance
TO them. 1t is now an assured fact
that there will be in the ranks on July
D. men who fought in every general
action under the British flag since 1887.
A sketch Of the lives Of these old
warriors would almost be an epitome
of British history during the most
glorious reign in the annals Of Eng
land. Ghuzni, Maharajpore, Aliwal,
Sobraon, the Crimean battles the
Mutiny, the two China wars, the Maori
war, the various South African cam
paigns, the rebellion in Canada, Afg-
hanistan, Ashantee, and the Indian
frontier campaigns, all will be repre-
scented. Some of the old heroes have
passed by two decades, the allotted
span of humans1ife, but they are now

hero, who fought at Gujerat, in the
Indian frontier war, all through the
Central Indian campaign and the In

"Will he get it?" one rooter asked
another.

And he did.
Perhaps that's why they call him
"Doggie.''
That was the last chance the locals
had to win, and it was spoiled by SEN
sational fielding. The Millers did not
get the bali out of the diamond in their
half, but they did not need to. Eus-
taco took in two flies in the ninth, one
of them a foul near the left bleacher,
and the other man went out on throw
from ROat to Cartwright.

IN THE WESTERN LEAGUE.
Four Clubs Making a Mighty Fight
for the Penant,

It was the general impression among base
bail enthusiasts that while Indianapolis and
Columbus were see-sawing st. Paul would
give Minneapolis lot of sequential lickings
and jump into the lead. st. Paul. however, is
doing nothing of the kind, but is having the
hardest kind of work to keep a nose in front
of the despised Milers. At the same time,
Milwaukee, by winning eleven straight games,
has pulled right into the thick of the fight,
being now but two and one-half games be-
hind St. Paul. That the contest is to be the
hottest in the history of the Western league
is shown by the figures, four clubs coming up
to the Fourth of July almost neck and neck.
Columbus has the lead, but after todays game
must travel almost steadily for month, and
will no doubt drop few pegs. 1t is a good
guess that by the 10Th of July Columbus will
be in fourth place, but, If the Buckeyes play
a strong travelling game and keep their per-
centage up in the neighborhood of 900, they
again take the lead on returning home
Aug. l. OF the second division crowd Grand
Rapids is playing the best bail. Kansas City
and Detroit have both gone to pieces, and
the changes made at Minneapolis have weak
ened the team materially. The team ought
not. in fact, to be able to win one game in
ten from st. Paul. The standing of the cubs
to date is as follows:
