The Terrors of War.

The following from the Calumet
News of Wednesday shows in part the
spirit of the average patriot who gives
up his life for his country's cause.
The two boys mentioned are nephews
of Mrs. E. Polkinghorn of this city
and whose deaths were announced in
these columns last week:
MRS. Mary Jilbert, of Rockland
street, who has been hoping against
hope that her boy was still alive, as
no official news has been received of
his death, this morning received the
following letter from the army doctor
who attended the young patriot at
the last moment. The manner in
which he alludes TO her is great con-
ISOLATION and, no doubt, will so prove
until she joins her boy in the great
hereafter:
GENERAL FIELD HOSPITAL,
Santiago, Cuba, Aug. 5. 1898
Mrs. Mary hilbert, Calumet, Mich.
Dear Madam:-lt is my painful duty
to advise you of the death of your son,
Thomas hilbert, which occurred at
this hospital this afternoon at 4:30. of
pernicious material fever As his
physician he requested me to write
you these words. He said you were a
dear christian mother and that your
life had been an inspiration TO him at
all times, and that he died in the
Lord God. Tell his sweetheart good
bye. that he would like TO see YOU
both. He further said, and these
were his last words, that if he had a
hundred lives he would give them for
his country. A more courageous or
noble death / have never witnessed.
/ trust these words will give you some
comfort in your bereavement.
Yours most respectfully,

William Atkinson, Of North Fillmore
avenue; James White of Roberts court,
and the latters step-son, James White,
were given Il preliminary hearing he
forc Alderman John late last evening
on charge of burglary and receiving
stolen goods. The charges were pre-
ferrcd by II. r. bradshaw, manager of
Armours Beef dcnot, on West Lacka-
wanna avenue. Atkinson gave bail in
the sum of $500 for a further hearing
this morning at 10 o'clock The two
Whites were committed to the West
Side police station in default of bail.
Constables Davis and Jones made the
arrests.
For several months hams and small
tubs of butter have been missing from
the cars containing them standing on
the Beef depot siding. \ close watch
was set, but NO person was caught red
handed Suspicion, however, it seems,
Ccll uron the lad, William White, who
is twelve years of age. During the last
six months he has been much about
the place, helping now and then to un-
load hams. etc. from the cars. Yes
terday afternoon he was about as
usual and was called into the book
Keepers office. Constable Davis and a
stenographer were sens for. The lad
was questioned and as he talked his
remarks were recorded.
What he said was not made known
at the hearing last evening, but the
warrants for his own arrest and those
of the two men We're issued right after
this star-Chamber session. Both men
We're arrested at their homes. Atkin-
son. who is a hrOther-in-law of the
elder White, denied any connection
with the theftS Mr.. White, however
allowed a search of his premises to be
made and two tubs Of butter, each
about forty pounds in weight, were
identified as belonging to the Beef
company.
These, the elder White said, were
brought to his house by the younger
White, who explained his possession Of
them by saving that the men of the
car had given them to him for his work
The boy had even been provided with
a bag to carry the tub of butter in
by the men, according TO his story
Then too he once in awhile had
brought home hams.
