a secluded life.
The heroes who go to war gel good
paw. and if killed. great pensions are
paid to their families for life and
those who come after them, but the
heroes of the powder mills do well If
they get 81 day, and when they are
gone that is all there is of them as far
as acknowledgment of their work is
concerned
For months at time they are out
of employment and must lie idle in the
little cottages of the powder mill towns.
When there is need for their services
as now, they must work night and day,
and though they receive double pay for
their labor they also take twice the
risk with death.
No soldier in war ever had cos
tune more complete than the powder
mill worker. When dressed to go to
work you would scarcely recognize
him as a member of a civilized COM
munity. Even his shoes are different
from those worn in the streets and
he has about him not particle of
metal of any description.
His shoes are of leather made with
wooden tacks, for there must be no
metal that will strike spark as he
works. He cannot carry a watch
chain, fer this might fall and cause
an explosion. He cannot have even
shirt stud or a metal button on his
trousers. He must be dressed with
pon-inflammable materials, and were
he to have match in his pocket, he
would be instantly dismissed.

MUST EAT HUMBLE PIE.

ShepherdstoWn Register.
The President has nominated Mr.
O'Brien Moore, the editor Of the Char
lesion Gazette, to be a paymaster in
the United States navy, a position
which has attached to it the snug sal
airy of $4,000 year. Mr.. Moore, how
ever, is not likely to get the place, as
he will probably not be confirmed by
the Senate. His newspaper has been
a sort CT free lance, and has made such
bitter attacks upon Senators Faulkner
and Elkins and upon other public men
that they will hold the nomination up.
Mr.. Moore published most spicy pa
per, but in his cutting and slashing
he entirely forgot that the day of reck-
oning might come, and he now finds
his hopes for a fat job for life depend
ent upon the good will of the men he
SO thoughtlessly denounced 1t is
just possible our Senators may prefer
to have him get out of West Virginia
and so permit his confirmation. but
we fear he will eat humble pie before
he feeds at the public crib

A STRANGE ATTACK.
Three Men Attempt to Murder Ser
geant of Artillery at Fort Taylor.

Key West, Fla, May PA sergeant
of artillery on duty at a mortar battery
near Fort Taylor, was fired upon early
this morning by three unknown men,
whom he says he knows to be Span
iards. The fire was promptly returned
but the men escaped
The affair, which is involved in 4
good deal of mystery, began yesterday
afternoon, when three swarthy men
made an attempt to enter the gate of
the reservation, but were summarily
turned off by tie sentry. No further
attention was given to the incident IN
til last night, when between ten and
eleven o'clock the sergeant of the artil-
lery guard. near the mortar battery,
discerned the figures Of three men a
few yards ahead Of him. Almost SIM
ultaneously with the discovery they
opened fire upon him with pistols
Three bullets whizzed harmlessly past
the sergeant, but fourth lodged in the
feshy part CT his left arm Just above
the elbow. The three men then turned
and fled out Of range. TIE sergeant
sent several shots after them and then
went for the guard.
A sharp lookout was kept for the
strangers, and, soon after midnight. a
suspicious noise was heard outside the
gate near which the mortar battery is
located. An investigation resulted in
the discovery Of a carriage in tie
street just outside the gate The ser
geant gave orders to fire and a volley
was sent as the vehicle. A moment
later, it appears, the three men were
seen running up the street aud the fire
of the soldiers was directed upon
them, but the suspects escaped appar-
emily unframed.
TIE sergeant declares that on the oc-
casion OF the last visit of the strangers
che of the latter carried a suspicious
looking package about three feet long.
The sergeant who was the principal
in the adventure with the three stran-
gers is Charles w. Richards. Battery

WHAT THE SPANISH SAY OF US.

The Spanish expression Yankee
pig" which designates the great
American people, is not the only de-
lightful emanation of the Madrid press.
Their conception OF Americas his
tory social institutions and methods
is Of the vaguest and widest descrip-
ton. For instance, Ell impartial,
which ranks as one of the best edited
journals of the country, prints with
gravity in it's editorial columns of
April 2 the following bit of tommy
rot:
1T is a fact well known to all Euro
pean statesmen that only by means OF
armed forces stationed in the late Con-
federate States has the Washington
government been able to preserve the
mblance of peace. Even now the
new generation Of the Confederacy is
but waiting for the word to revolt
When war is declared Gen. Lee, who
has been consul general at Havana, and
who was kicked cut OF Cuba by Gov
error General Blanco, will raise the
standard of revolt and the old South
ern Confederacy This Lee is the same

surrender to Gen. Lincoln in the last
named year broke the revolution. His
acts at Havana were for the purpose
Of plunging the government into war
with the kingdom Of Spain, at which
tine he and his followers would rise
against Senior Mckindley.'
The dispatches from Havana to Ell
TEMPO are also interesting. Here is
a sample culled at random from its
columns:
Word has just been received here
that the Indians are rising against the
Yankees in Illinois, Ohio and other
places. The farmers are petitioning
the government to protect them from
the bloodthirsty savages, who are
burning houses and killing on every
side. Troops are asked for at Colo
RADIO, in the State of Denver, and at st.
Louis (San Luis), in Missipa. News
is brought to us that Buffalo Bill, a
notorious outlaw and leader of a band
of half-breeds, has risen against the
American government and is burning
towns near his birthplace in New
York"
In conclusion, we may say truthful
ly with FL Diario:
at will no doubt surprise our read
ers to learn that the Yankee President,
Magnify, is naturalized Chinaman,

There is an army of heroes whose

They are the heroes Of the powder
mills, the men and women who make
the powder used in our rifles and big
guns. They deal every day with death
and spend their lives face to face with
it. No life insurance company will
take their risk; no fire insurance will
guarantee the building in which they
work; no community Of people viii
