teasels this year. and will handle the output of
forty acres raised by neighbors. He has large
sheds for storing and curing the teasels, and a
number Of ingenious machines for trimming and
sorting them and preparing them far the mar

of the requirements of the manufacturers WHO
use them. Anyone can raise teasels; in fact. they
will grow themselves. but very few market
them. Mr.. Sawtelle says he is going out OF the
business Recently some ingenious fellow has in
vented machine which comes so near filing the
place OF the teasel that the demand for them is
likely to come to an end. The crop Of tcasels
is being harvested now. They cut as soon
as the blossoms begin TO fall. They have to be

CAPTAIN GILMAN DEAD.
He Lay for Two Nights mt Least in
the Cuban Bush.

New York. July 27.-Capt Benjamin H.
Gilman. of the Thirteenth Regulars. has
died of exposure in Cuba, at his resi-
dence on Governors Island, leaving n
widow and a son of thirteen. He was
forty-seven years old.
Capt. Gilman was not a robust man
and shortly after the regiment reached
Cuba he was attacked with camp dys-
entery, said by physicians to be more
deadly than the yellow fever of Cuba.
Although in no condition to do so. Capt;
Gilman was at the head of his company
at the beginning Of the fight on the morn
ing of July 1. Twice while leading
charge he fell from weakness. This was
noticed by Gen. Worth, who commanded
the brigade, and he ordered Capt Gill
man to the rear. The Captain pleaded
with Gen Worth who was then lieuten-
ant colonel of the Thirteenth, to be al
lowed to remain ON the field, but Gen.
Worth insisted.
Capt. Gilman worked his way slowly
to the rear. He went as far as he could
and then sat down to rest. What hap
pened to him after that until he was put
aboard the hospital ship Relief at Sib--
oney. may never be fully told. After he
got home on Monday he was too weak
to tell much of the story, but some Of
his experiences were those OF another Of
ffcer who was brought up on the Relief.
and little of what Gilman suffered has
been told by his comrade.
On his way to the rear Capt. Gilman
was overtaken by this officer. The two
made their way as best they could to-
ward a hospital. Wounded men were
carried past them on the road by the
score. Toward night they heard that
the hospitals were all full and overflow
ing. and that there were neither doctors
nor nurses enough to attend to the
wounded. Hearing that, Gilman said to
his companion:
well, old man. we're not wounded;
we're only sick. Let's lie down here
somewhere. and not bother them down
there in the hospitals"
And so the two men lay down in the
chaparral, with nothing under them but
the wet ground, and nothing over them
but the sky. They had no food of any
kind. and there was no way to get any
They lay there in the bushes for two
days before they got anything at all to
eat Then some soldiers in passing saw
them and gave them some bean SOUP
made of beans that were raw. little
hardtack and some coffee: The soup they
couldn't eat. and they were IN no condi-
ton to keep hardtack or coffee on their
stomachs.
Two more days passed. and then the
officers lost each other in the thick un-
dergrowth. The other ofiicer lay in the
chaparral for two weeks. getting food
from the soldiers he could occasionally
hail as they passed. 1t was supposed by
his family that he was dead. How Gill
man was finally taken where he could
get some care, or how long he lay out in
the bush, may never be known. Mrs.
Gilman knew nothing of his whereabouts
or his condition. and could get no infor-
nation. The first news rhe got. after
she saw in the papers that he was either
sick or wounded. was when she saw that
he was among the passengers on the
Relief.

Nothing could be more skillful than
SIMPSONS effort to withhold special COM
mendation from the commodore in actual
command during the fight. 1t is the work
Of man with genius for meanness.
There is no doubt that the destruction of
Cervera's fleet was "the successful finish
of several weeks Of arduous and close
blockade" for which Sampson was re-
sponsible, but why give prominence to
the obvious fact in what processes to be
an account OF the battle? The blockade
did not call for extraordinary qualities.
while the smashing of cervera's ships did.
The two things are not Of equal i'm
portapce In an account Of the fight. and
the blockade is dragged in plainly because
in that Sampson was in command.

Prince Bismarck Is at last face to face
with foe which always conquers-Death.
The Iron Chancellor has been blessed
with a constitution as firm and powerful
as his uncomfortable wiz. but the slow
gatherings Of time have told on his
strength. until his power to resist has
vanished. He retired from active life
years ago, and II is marvellous that with
on; the heavy responsibilities to which
he had been used, he has been able to
live SO long. His most intimate friends
and associates have all. passed away, and
1t will not be wrench to him to give
up living. His work was long since done.
and it's results will continue indefinitely.
Few men Of such large ambitions have
seen so many of them accomplished.
