Amusing Accidents on the Stage.

Some amusing stories are told of the
contretemps Forbes Robertson has oc-

TEST OF SOUTHERN CHIvALRY.
How Charleston Women Sent Food
10 Major Anderson.
New York Times.

Rev. DR.. Henry Van Dyke tells two
stories that are illustrative of what is
sometimes called the "chiyalrous senu-
ment' of the southern people.
"When l was a child." said he, my
father took me with him on a trip TO
Charleston, s. c. IL happened to be a
period of intense eXcitement-early IN 1861.
The State authorities had recently passed
the Ordinance OF Secession the citizens
of Charleston were wrought up 10 a high
mitch. and Major Anderson had been shut

periences at that time as wildly as If
had passed through them yesterday. one
of them was in connection with the his
toric incident of Major AndersOn's de-
fence of the fort against the southern
guns.
1.-THE Federal troops were almost desi-
tute Of provisions, and IL was question
az 10 how long they could hold out. II
was well understood I'm Charleston that
any attempt on the part of the United
States to reprovision the garrison would
be resisted by force. There stood Ander-
son. with his handful of men. under the
Stars and Stripes, facing starvation or
surrender-possibly annihilation. Around
the old brick fort, rising sheer from the
tories that were ready at a signal 10

This critical iuncture when l had the
privilege of witnessing a marvellous act
of chivalrous and tender sentiment.

small boats were putting of from the
docks and making for Fort Sumter. where
law the beeaguered Federal troops. My
establishment was redoubled when |
learned that the women OF Charleston
had laden these boats with provisions OF
an sorts. from substantials to delicacies
and luxuries, and were actually sending
them To the soldiers whom their brothers
and fathers were trying to subdue by
starvation or by shot and shell. | after
ward learned that Major Anderson was
. very much liked by the women. and, In
deed. by all the people OF Charleston, but
II struck me as quite remarkable that
even the near approach OF war and The
necessity, felt by all. OF the capture OF
Fort Sumter from the Federals, were not
sufficient 20 suppress the chivalry and
hospitality OF these people.

into them TO see what kind OF food the

was every delicacy that could be found
in the market, and l can remember now
how nice | thought the dainties looked,
how / should have liked TO taste some OF
them, and how 1 wondered what an i'm
preston such gift under such circum-
stances would make upon Major Auder-
son and his men.

visions TO the beleaguered fort by the
women Of Charleston, the men of Charles

was engaged upon a similar mission.
Charleston would not have allowed the
Federal major and his garrison to starve,
but il was equally determined not to
permit the United States Government 10

clear enough, and the presence of war
itself could not hold in allegiance the obli-
cations OF hospitality.
II remember just as wildly another
experience In the South. Shortly after
the war | was In Virginia, with my
father, and he took me to see General
Robert +. Lee, who was then at Washing,
ton and Lee University. 7 don't think
that have ever seen a man whose great
personality impressed me more General
Lee was one of the few men | have seen
who seemed 20 ME to bear upon the brows
the unmistakabe stamp Of greatness. He
was exceedingly courteous and kindly.

was a boy at the time, might enjoy a
ride on his war steed. SO Traveller was
brought out and the General placed me
in the saddle and for a few moments 1
