doned me and started oil to sergeant,
who treated him with even greater con-
tempt. Nothing abashed, he picked up
the stick and trotted with the column,
which was now moving along the road
and into which the battery hauled from
the roadside with the accompaniments
of clanking trace-chains and rumbling
wheels.
Styx maintained his position some
where between our gun carriages all
day, refusing to be allured by the DASH
ing cavalry or the sober infantry, as
now and then changes occurred in the
column, and. late in the afternoon,
when we halted for the night. he re-
ported himself at my particular fire as
if he were on duty as an orderly. He
asked not for food or caresses, but put
ting down a stick at my feet declared
in his fox-terrier language that if /
would please throw that for him he
would consider all obligations dis
charged in full, and l threw it. He
brought it back before it had fairly
touched the ground and worried me for
more of it,
The next day we were in action. The
enemy had made a gallant stand in
their retreat at narrow pass. where it
was most difficult for us to advance, and
here the genius of Styx came into great
play. The mo. g. man, as he is called.
runs between the timber and the gun
when the battery is in action, carrying
the missile. or cartridge, from the am
munition chest to the "No. 2" man, who
places it in the gun, when the mo. I"
sends it home with the rammer. Styx
had joined one of the gun detachments,
and was acting as mo. 5" man. Re-
ceiving the cartridge from mo. g." who
took it from the chest, he rushed like
lightning to the gun and delivered his
burden to tho expectant artilleryman.
He was in his element now. The thun-
der of the guns could hardly down his
shrieks of joy as he rushed back from
having delivered one charge to get an
other-this was something like! Why
hadn't we played that game before
Now he saw what battery was for!
That day gave Styx a reputation
through our whole corps. The COM
manding general heard of him and re-
quested me to bring him up to head
quarters. An admiring circle of officers
sat about him one evening and dis
cussed whether or no dogs could be gen.
orally used in the artillery.
Three days after came the catastro'
phe. We were drawn up in line of bat
tie to await developments, and for s
long time nothing developed. Finally
a distant battery began to give us Its
attention. Now and then a shell ex
ploded in our front or over our heads
Styx was sitting with eager eyes in the
midst of his favorite detachment. Sud
denly an almost spent six-pound solit
shot from the enemy struck in front o.
us, and it rolled. as it seemed, slowly
into the battery. More fun!" said StyN
to himself, and jumped for it.. For tn,
first time he had miscalculated. Bu
then his experience with the artillery
had been of the briefest. The moving
mass of iron which seemed as harm
less as a rubber ball, crushed the iif'
out of the active little volunteer.

MUST CANVASS RETURNS.

Circuit Judge Parker Decides the Contest
in Wood County, o., and Practically Enus
the Fight for Control OF Ohio's Legisla-
ture.
Columbus, O., Nov. S,-The only im-
portant development Saturday in the
status of the next general assembly
was the decision of Judge Parker at
Toledo in the Wood county case, which
removes that county from the doubtful
list to the republican column. The cir
cult court instructed the election SUI
peryisors of Wood county to canvass
the returns from the disputed precinct,
which gives the election to Capt 0. 2.
Norris, the republican candidate for
representative, by 81 plurality. This
was received by Chairman Nash, of the
republican state committee, with sat
isfaction. The decision had signifl.
canoe which could not be expressed,
inasmuch as 1t put an end to the talk
of other contests on the same grounds.
Chairman Nash does not believe the
case will be appealed by the demo-
Gratis, since the law in the case ia
plain. There was some talk Of an in.
junction against the supervisors, but
it was not confirmed. Should no fur
ther changes be made, the republicans
will have five majority on joint ballot.
The headquarters of the democratic
state committees at the Great South
ern are dismantled, only one room be-
ing retained for the use of Secretary
Karb and Allen .. Myers In an inter
view Mr.. Myers said: "The situation
is the same now as it was Wednesday
morning. The democrats have the SEN
ate by a majority of two. The house
stands 5S republicans to 81 democrats.
We're beaten and / knew it Wednes'
day morning"
Mr.. Myers is very bitter in his de-
nunciation of Chairman McConville
and blames him for the defeat OF the
democrats, both on the Legislative and
state tickets. Myers charges that Nc
Conville tried to defeat Chapman be-
cause Chapman would not pledge him
self to certain appointments and that
he did not work for the success of the

severe case Of st. Vitus' dance had been
effected OH the person of little Stanley Nichol,
the eight.ycar son of Mrs. Charles Nichol

A reporter was accordingly dispatched in
that direction who after some inquiry, found
Mrs. Nichols residence about mile outside
the village. Mrs. Nichol said:

strange gurgling in his throat. After the

to him and after careful examination he
snid that there was nothing the matter with
the boys throat. The gurgling in his opinion
was caused by nervous contraction of the
muscles of the throat. He asked who our
family physician was and said that he would
consult with him before h. prescribed.
"Stanley rapidly grew worse. He was
always a sickly boy. One day I noticed
that he was jerking his arm up in very

Electricity.

The electrical properties of amber
were known to the Greeks before the
Christian era. ELECTRICITY takes its
name from the Greek word for amber.
Gilbert in I6co was the first to em-
ploy the terms &" electric force "
and " electric attractions" In I748
Franklln's electrical researches had
progressed so far that he killed a
turkey by the electric spark and roast
ed it by an electric jack before fire
kindled by the electric bottle, and in
1852, by means Of the kite expert
ment, he demonstrated the identity OF
electricity and lightning. The first
magnetic electric machine was made
at Paris by Pixii in 1882 the first
telegraph line in the United States
was set up between Washington and
Baltimore in 1874; the first sub
marine cable was laid between
England and France in 1850. AS
early as 1902 Sir Humphry Davy pro-
duced an electric light with carbon
points on almost the same principle
as that now employed. The frs,
electric railway on the continent of
Europe was built by Slemens at Ber-
lin in 1881 ; the first IN England was
constructed in 1882, and in America
the first electric line was bull
in 1885.

Customary was born in France and
was well educated. 1t was reported
that he came of noble family, and
had the right to the title of Count,
which he declined to use. In early
years he took the operate stage, and
became passionately attached to his
profession. He first became known
in America in 1879, when he appeared
in French opera in New Orleans. His
next engagement was in Booths Thea
tre In 1886 he took a company to
Santiago, Chile, where he lost 100,000f.
at the Theatre Nacionale. His greatest
success was in the character of Meph-
istopheles, in "Faust." He sang and
acted the part with great success all
over the country. He made it rollick-
ing, humorous part, and to such per-
fOrmance, it may be remarked, he was
especially adapted.
Speaking of grand opera abroad and
in the United States, in a recent in
terview, Nine. Nordica said: The as
sertion that salaries are the same on
the Continent as in the United States
is not correct.
1t is fact that in London an artist
may be paid the same per night as he
is in New York, but nothing additional
goes with it. He gets no percentage
on the gross receipts or anything Of
that kind.
