Anecdotes Of Sir Havelock-A1lan.

On one occasion he and his Arab got
into sore trouble by Sir Henry, inten-
tionally or otherwise, laying himself
across the head of the column of a
HYDE Park demonstration. Fifty thou
sand men We're in that column, and Slr
Henry's trouble seemed to be that ne
could not make his way across from one
point to another unless the column
halted. This the column refused 10
do. and Sir Henry wheeled round as il
10 charge them. The police, however,
benevolently interposed, and stopped
the column (Which the action of the
General undoubtedly checked, SO that
the latter might go peaceably on his
way.
Frederick Villiers, the well-knoWn
war correspondent, tells a characteristic
anecdote of Sir Henry. During the
siege of Plevna he was riding with a
colleague towards headquarters from q
little fight which had taken place on
the east of Plevna. Both were tired,
and their horses were jaded with hard
DAYS work But Sir Henry kept up
steady trot, in spite Of the heavy
roads. Presently his comrades horse
stumbled, throwing the rider to the
ground. The General drew rein at
once. and shouted to his PROSTATE COL
league: What are you doing there,
sir? Great heavens! Get up at once;
do YOU hear. sir? This is simply dis
graceful. Mount at once" The fall
len man. half-stunned, struggled to his
feet. By this time Sir Henry had
caught his horse and brought it to him.
His companion was Aeeling like
drunken man; and. not quite certain
whether his neck was broken, he was
mopping his bleeding head with his
ket-handkerchief. Great heavensl
and you call yourself an Englishman.
Mount at once, sir!" shouted Allan His
colleague instinctively obeyed without
am urmur; but, as he was Keeling a
bit, Sir Henry rode by his side muir
muring: "You are hurt, know; but
for Gods sake don't show it before
these Cossacks: we are Englishmen,
and we can't afford to let Russians see
that we feel pain."-St- James Gazette.

FIRED TWO SHOTS.
One Electrical Engineer Endeavors
to Kill Another.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 13.-L. ST.
Dennis Roylance, an electrical engineer.
fired five shots at F. J. Dyer this at
terncon at $50 Mission street. Three of
the shots tok effect, one in the chin, the
second in the right hand and a third on
the chest, just over the heart. The last
did not penetrate the body, and inflicted
a slight wound. None of the wounds
are necessarily serious.
The shooting was the result of bust
ness differences, RoyIance says, al
though he admits that there were other
causes, and there is suspicion of wom-
an in the case. Roylance claims that he
acted entirely in self-defense.
Dyer refused absolutely to discuss the
matter tonight. He said ne was suf-
fering too much pain, and his friends
had advised him to remain silent.
Roylance was formerly employed by
the Acme Electric Company, but was
supplanted by Dyer about month ago.
He claims to have witnesses who have
heard Dyer threaten to kill him.
