Disobeyed Rosecran,s Orders

Y fronl the DetrOiI Free 1feSS.
 The late General Rosecrans ran up against Tartar once, but he had the good sense not to let his ruffied dignity cause him to lose his temper. The story. as told by Co'onel James T. Sterling, is as follews:
 Company of the Seventh Ohio was formerly the light guards of Cleveland, and was one of the best drilled companies in the army. It was commanded by Captain Creighton.
 The Seventh Ohio was in West Virginia in 1861, and "Old Rosy was in command. The supplies for the army were brought up the Kanawha river in boats, which were unloaded by details from the regiment. General Rosecrans had ordered that sol diers duty must wear their equipment
 Comrany was sent out to unload a boat, and Captain Creighton permitted the men to take off the-r equipment and their coats as well while engaging in this hard work.
 When the work had been completed the men and officers sprawled out on the grass some of his staff rode up.
 The general looked at the soldiers a min ute and then called for the commanding officer. Captain Creighton did not know General Rosecrans. but he rose to his feet
 "Who commands this company" k d the general.
 q do to the best of my ability" replied the captain.
 Don't you know, sir,'' inqur the gen. eral sternly, "that it is against orders to allow the men to remove their equipment when on duty?"
 q have heard some such order," replied Captain Creighton, "but the man that is- sued it never did a days work in his life. When my men have to work hard I'll see him in the other place before I'll let them swelter with their accoutrements on.
 ''Old Rosy" stared at the cool captain moment and then rode down toward the boat.
 A soldier approached Captain Creighton and said
 "Do you know who that is?"
 'No, and I don't care"
 ''Thats General Rosecrans, the com mander of this department.
 "Whewr' calculated Captain Creighten "Company fall in!"
 Without question 1t was the finest com pany in the command. When the general and his officers rode back from the boat the company, in full equipment, stood n perfect order and gave him a present in such splendid style as to attract his atten- tion.
 General Rosecrans returned the salute and requested the captain to put his men through the manual When 1t was fi1is1ed the general raised his hat. turned to the captain and said:
 s'I think that company that can handle nruskets as well as that should be allowed to unload a steamer without anything on, if they want to-

Manners Outside the Navy

From "On a Man-of-War"
 The ordinary seaman's respect for rank and station when not connected with his beloved vessel is decidedly meagre. When the president of the United States visits one of our men-of-war he is received at the gangway by the admiral, commanding off, cer, and all of the officers of the ship, in full uniform, the crew at quarters for in- spection, the marine guard drawn up with the band on the quarter deck, the national flag is displayed at the main, the drummer gives four ruffles, the band plays the fa- tional air and salute of twenty-one guns is fired. The same ceremony also takes place on his leaving.
 On one occasion the president visited one of the ships informally, dispensing with the salute and ceremony, when one of the men rather indignantly asked another who that lubber was on the quarter deck that didn't "douse his peak" to the commodore.
 "Choke your Huff, will you.' was the re- ply, "that's the president of the United States" k
 ''Well! ain't he got manners enough to salute the quarter deck if he isT'
 Manners? What does he know about manners? don't suppose he was ever out of sight of land in his life."

A "Touchy" Old Commodore

From "On a Man-of-War."
 A story is told of an old commodore at the Boston yard whose method of measur- ing religious affairs was with the same in- exorable rule used for temporal things One unday morning he was aroused from his nap by something out of the usual rou- tine being announced from the pulpit. and he sternly addressed the chaplain with: .'What's that? Whats that?" The chap lain demurelv repeated the rotice that "By order of the bishop of the diocese divine services will be performed in tn 8 chapel on Thursday evening next" etc.
 By whose order?"
 sBy order of the bishop of the diocese, sir"
 "Wel," thundered the commodore, "I'll let you know that am bishop of this dio- cese, and when I want service in this chapel I'll let you know. Pipe down." and he cleared the chapel.
 On one occasion he heard a different voice in the pulpit from usual, and, looking up, he asked "Who is that up there? Is that you, Billy McMasters?'
 'Yes, sir"
 (Billy was religious foreman in the yard who sometimes helped the chaplain along).
 Come down out of that" thundered the commodore. "When I want relief for the chaplain I'll appoint one. Don't you ever let me catch you up there again." and he cleared the chapel again.

 The wheat harvest is progressing in Texas, and the crop is we'll headed out as far north as southern Illinois The pros pective crop of winter wheat now promises to be the largest ever grown in this coun- try.
 Prince Bismarck condemns in the United States what he induced Germany to un- dertake on a wholesale scale. Land-grab- ping is good, it seems, for the German goose, but not for the American gander. Whatever else may occur in 1900 any anti annexation party that may arise will go to the wall. Conquests that American sol diers and sailors win will remain in the hands of the conquerors This is history.  Captain Clark, of the Oregon, rises to say that he did not go out of his way to avoid Cervera's fleet. He minded his own business, and the esteemed Cervera did likewise.
  The kid military nominations have all been confirmed It was established in the senate that senators and representatives in the states that developed the nominees were the really guilty parties. Spain may tell one too many stories about sending ships and troops to the Phil ippines. Uncle Sam may believe some of them, and dispatch fleet to Cadiz.  Before the First Alabama volunteers are ordered to Cuba, they should receive one good assortment of individual boxes from home.

Colored ZenIot Building n House of
Worship Entirely Unaided.

Colored zenIot Building n House of
Worship Entirely Unaided.
A Georgia colored man, Andrew Bon
ner by name, is manifesting his re-
ligious enthusiasm in a substantial,
though unusual way. Bonner is sim
ple-mindcd negro, filled to overaowing
with what his admiring wife terms "de
oil time religion" He resides with her
in College Park, village few miles
from Atlanta. His ambition for years
has been to build church for the ben
eft of some of his own race, the ma
terial used to be procured with his own
earnings and no workman to assist him
in the rearing of the edifice, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
With utter disregard of legal meas
ures, Andrew selected two years ago Il
site for the church of his dreams, which
he expects to be a monument to his
memory long after he has returned 10
dust. The fact that he does not own
the ground has never disturbed him.
When far-sighted white friends urged
him to wit until the ground could be
bought for the purpose he paid no heed
to the proposition, but kept to his orig
inal purpose. Every spare penny was
spent by him for lumber and nails.
The work has necessarily been slow,
but now, after "a months of patient
labor, Andrew gazes with pride upon
the building, which is almost covered.
The old man is said to have some
times denied his family bread that he
might save money for this pet project.

The First water Plant.

The Quakertown (Pa.) Times awards
to Bethlehem the distinction of having
erected the first waterworks in the
United States. Near the banks of the
Monocncy creek (the Indian name for
creek of many bends), it says, there Is
q never-failing spring of pure cold
water, which has formed the supply of
Bethlehem from its founding up to the
present time. In the spring of 1854
Hans Christopher Christiansen began
the erection of the first waterworks in
the old mill. The water was forced
through wooden pipes up the hill into
wooden reservoir, situated where the
Moravian church DOW stands.

Pupils Recital.

AT Andrews Hall last evening oc.
Cured one of the prettiest concerts oil
the season. 1t was pupils recital,
and the program that was rendered
had mnch variety, and redounded very
much to the credit of the instructors
in the College.
Each number of the programme,
which had thirteen selections, was a
very commendable effort on the part
of the pupil, and in some instances was
artistic. Miss Bernice Mason and little
Miss Eloise Grafton, each of the violin
lists, and the latter only nine years old,
gave very great pleasure to the audi
dence. Not a number on the pro-
gramme but what was a pronounced
success.

100000 GONE IN A FLASH.
KIondilSe Telegraph Line which was
wrecked by the Atlantic Cable.

"EcCktu tht 0hbhts
Long ago-in 1s63-64-there was no
cable between Europe and America.
Transatlantic news-even during the
exciting episodes Of the civil war-was
always about fortnight old, says the
London Mail. The attempt to make a
cable connection had ended disastrous
ly, and in this juncture of affairs was or
ganized gigantic enterprise, looking
to the connection of the United States
with Europe via Klondike and Behring
sea. Most electricians and telegraph
experts had made up their minds that
40 miles-which was the distance across
the, -,strait-represented the longest a
submarine cable could be successfully
worked.
A company was formed, md what
was known in those days as Russian
extension stock went of at premium
of 60 per cent. In 1865 the line between
New Westminster and the Yukon river
was surveyed, found to be practicable,
an1 traversed completely the present
Klondike region.
The line was expected to be finished

receipts were estimated to yield about

Canadian Pacific railway to Ashcroft,
where it was continued north toward

Then, in the midst of the whole bust

MOUNT vERNON'S GUARD.
Little Old ColOred Man Hasn't Missed
m DIV in Yeara

| Day In Years.
Edward Parker, the little old colored
man who occupies the sentry box at the
tomb OF Washington at Mount Vernon,
lives in Washington, says the Washing
ton Star. That is, his family lives here,
and he comes over by special permit
of the organization which has control
Of the old home of the first president
of the United States.
For years the tomb of Washington
has been constantly before this old col
ored man g vision. He has never missed
q day from that dingy sentry box since
Mount Vernon passed into the charge
OF the ladies, and before that, dating
from 1s41, he had lived on the place.
He was slave of John Washington. and
is the last of the old servants now liv-
ing.
Every other Saturday Parker comes
over to Washington. always carrying
with him an old-fashioned carpet bag,
so common in the days of reconstruc-
tion. The following Monday morning
he may always be seen half hour at
least before the first train starts for
Mount Vernon waiting around the cor
ner Of Pennsylvania avenue and Thir-
teenth street. He has never missed the
first train since the electric cars began
running to Mount Vernon. Before that
the first boat to Mount Vernon, on al
ternating Monday mornings, always
found him passenger.
Parker is. indeed character. He as
sisted in burying the last person con-
signed to the vault in the Washington
tomb. After that the key to the vault
was thrown into the Potomac. This
was in the early SOS.
