WASHINGTON'S EXAMPLE.

The country, with its head turning
from the victory over Bourgoyne, was
clamoring for another battle. Com
PARSONS were made between Washing
ton and Gates, grotesque as such an
idea seems now, much to the formers
disadvantage, and the defeats around
Philadelphia were contrasted bitterly
with the northern victories. Murmurs
could be heard in the congress, which
had been forced to fly from their COM
Portable quarters by the arrival of the
victorious enemy in Philadelphia
John Adams, one of the ablest and
most patriotic OF men, but with a
distinct capacity for honest envy, dis
|coursed excitedly about Washington's
failures and Gates's successes. He
knew nothing of military affairs, but
as Sydney Smith said of Lord John
Russell, he would have been ready to
take command of the Channel feet on
a days notice, and so he decided and
announced in his impetuous way the
greatness of Gates, whose sole merit
was that he was not able to prevent
Burgoyne's defeat, and growled at the
general-in-chief. who had saved the
revolution, and Sneered at him as a
''Fabius'
Washington knew all these things.
He heard the clamors from the coun-
try, and they fell in with his own
instincts and desires. He was quite
aware of the comparisons with Gates
and of the murmurings and criticism
in congress. Yet he went his way
unmoved He weakened himself to
help the northern army, for he under
stod as no one else the crucial charac-
ter of Burgoynes expedition. When
the news of the surrender at Saratoga
came to him, his one word was devout
gratitude for the victory he had ex-
pected. But no comparisons, no
sneers, no rivalry, could make him
move from the lines at Whitemarch

A WICKED RUNAWAY
Mrs. n. E. Forbes sustained
Probably Serious Injuries.
The Extent of Her Danger If There is
Any Danger will Not Be Known
Until Today.

Mrs. NJ. E. Forbes, living at Third
ausly hurt by jumping from buggy
drawn by runaway team yesterday
afternoon. She was out driving with
John Rock. The hcrses were spir-
tied animals. but both were very well
trained. AS they neared Washington
street at pace very little faster than
a walk, going south on First avenue,
the bit fell. broken, from the mouth
OF one of the horses and he sprang
forward. The other horse made a
desperate leap and his bit, too, gave
say. Mr.. Rock was pOwerless, but
determined to stay with the buggy.
Mr. Rock urged Mrs. Forbes before
the horses had attained great Roadway
10 jump from the buggy behind. She
feared to make the attempt and only
made up her mind to do it after the
runaWayS had attained a frightful
speed She climbed over the top of
the buggy, holding to it until her feet
touched the ground, and then let go.
& worse place to try this dangerous
experiment of jumping from buggy
could not have been chosen along the
route, the crossing OF the S. F. P. &
r tracks The feet of the unfortu-
aate woman had hardly touched the
ground before she was thrown violent
" backward The back of her head
struck a car rail and she lay as if
lead Blood poured along the rail
from a cash in tie back OF her head
and from another On the right side
above the ear She was carried to
the residence OF Mr.. Parker at the
corner of First avenue and Jackson
street, put into a hammock and DR..
DuHeid was sent for. After an exam
n ation of her injuries she was carried
TO ner home on a cot. On reaching
there she had recovered conscious

animation. but could not determine
the extent of the seriousness of her
Injuries. He did not believe she was
IN any danger from the wounds on the
head. but thought it possible that she
might have sustained a spinal injury.
That could not be ascertained for some
horIs-
After Mrs. Forbes leaped from the
buggy the horses ran on another block
and were brought to a stop by tree.
The collision threw Mr.. Rock on the
sidewalk and before the horses could
Olsen gage themselves they were gotten
under control The only damage done

NO NEEDLESS RISK OF LIFE.

Washington, May 29.-;'With regard
to the invasion of Cuba said Major
General Miles, 81 have nothing to say,
except that the United States will in
due time bring Cuba under its control
by judicious methods and without a
useless waste of life. The United
States is too great, too strong and too
powerful to commit any foolish act in
connection with the proposed invasion.
AS for myself, 1 have only to say that
no officer is fit to command troops
who, from any motive whatever,
would needlessly risk the life of a
single soldier, either from disease or
the bullets of the enemy. / have never
sacrificed the lives of men under my
command, and do not propose to sub
iect them to any unnecessary risks in
the present campaign

President Miller is 10 the city aud be

The State has literally supported the
institution aud doubtless it will continue
to do SO iu the future. Ia the presi-
dents report he shows that there a'e
51l students 10 attendance, both boys
and girls. He divides them up as to
religious persuasion, which shows that
the Baptists come first With over zoo !;
then follows the Mesbodists and Pres

none bave such representation as the
Methodists and Baptists. There is one
Catholic aud swo Episcopalians. By
States there is student t'Afrom New
York and three or four from North
Carolina aud Georgia.
Mr.. Miller goes into details as to
what has been accomplished in improv-
ing the buildings. He suggests au
appropriation to heat the buildings by
steam, instead of stoves. which are q
constant source OF danger.
Oue steam heater of ordinary capa.
city can heat all the building, and ito
establishment will materially decrease
the Insurance rates. He estimates that
the college will need $26, 900 to
properly ruo it che next year aud asks
for an appropriation to tha. amount.
Tais amount will include what comes
from the Hatch and Scrip fund, which
goes to the college and the appropria,
ton from the state treasury will not
necessarily be larger than that hereto

splendid work has been done in the
various industrial departments. and
the presiden. says that the students not
ouly take great interest ln this part
