Sad Story OF a Battlefield.
D. RAvENEL.

Just below the stone fort at Caney,
sitting in the middle of IA pineapple
field, came upon a pitiful sight-a
soldier sitting on The ground, holding
in his lap the head of a poor fellow
who was literally shut to pieces. One
bullet had gone through his head, an
other through his lungs and chest,
tearing horrible hole, from which
the blood poured at every breath.
He was almost dead, and every breath
sounded like the noise made by pour
lug liquid from bottle, and his COM
rade kept the flies from his face, that
was clotsed with blood aud dir and
waited. Occasionally, when the pour
fellow would groan bit louder than
usual, the friend would change the
dying man position, but he held him
as still as be coulI.
Don t suppose there a surgeon
about p he inquired, as | stopped.
told him there was not now, but
would be later.
"Well,' he remarked, quietly,
"don' suppose they could help him.
He s bout gone, | reckon.
The breathing became weaker and
the gurgling fainter and fainter as the
grayish pallor began to show through
the sweat and dirt and blood, and,
finally, without tremor, breathing
ceased. The soldier held his burden
moment until he saw the end had
come, and then laid his handkerchief
over the ghastly face and gently let
the head down to the ground, and
slowly got up.
"Know him p | asked.
MY brother" he calmly said. And
then he filled his lungs with one,
long, deep sigh and gazed off to the
hills for a moment with far-away,
thoughtful look, and [ conld see that
he was looking straight into some
home and wondering what mother
would think.

M. N. Blakemore, Of Van Buren,,

M. N. Blakemore, Of Van Buren,,
Ark, sends lot Of humorous stories
to the Veteron, some of which have
been published.
The generation that has grown up
since the war cannot possibly under
stand the privations and hardships
undergone aud the heroism displayed
By the omen Of the South during the
war. While their fathers, husbands,
brothers, and sons were at the front
Sighting the battles Of their country,
they were at home taking such care
as they could of their Lares and Pc
mates, nursing the sick and wounded,
feeding the hungry stragglers, and in
a hundred ways helping along the
cause as Sest they might. They
oheerfully, though tearfully, spared
their loved ones to serve their coun-
4ry. No sacrifice was TOO great for
their beloved Southland. At Appo-
mattox aud Greensboro the heroes Of
the army succumbed to overwhelming
odds and laid down their arms; but
the women ofitbe South-God bless
them!-haye never surrendered yet.
There are some amusing anecdotes of
the women of the war as we'll as Of
the men.
When Gen. Kelly commanded the
Federal troops occupying the country
around Front Royal, Va he was very
severe in impressing all the live stock
he could fud. Among Others, he i'm
pressed COW belonging to an old
man, John Arnold. This was about
the last piece Of property that pre-
yious depredations had left the old
man, and her milk vas almost the
only resource left him and his daugh-
ter for food. The next morning
after the loss Of the COW Miss
Sue Arnold, The daughter, went to
Gen. Kelly's headquarters aud ap-
piled to him for the release of the
COW. Gen. Kelly turned around in
his chair, aud, in his most pompous
manner. said: "Niiss Arnold, this re-
bellion must be crushed !
Miss Arnold, with eyes flashing and
arms akinbo aud defiance in her atti-
sude, replied: %Gen. Kelly, it you
shinks you can crush this rebellion by
stealing old John Arnolds COW, just
steal her and be d-dr'
She got the COW.

MET HIM ON THE STREET.
TAKEN TO A LODGING-HOUSE
 AND ROBBED.

Joseph Hayes, living at 109 Grove street, complained to the police last night that he had been drugged and robbed by a stranger whom he met on Kearny street. According to his story he was walking along the street, and when near Clay he was accosted by middle-aged man who pretended to have met him some time ago. After a short conversation the stranger, after announcing that he had just returned from a trip to Dawson City, invited him to have dinner with him. Hayes accepted his offer, and together they went to restaurant on Third street. where his new found friend claimed that his brother worked. After partaking Of the meal Hayes became dizzy, as he ex- pressed it, and walked outside. The stranger followed him, and advised him to seek medical aid. At his suggestion Hayes allowed his new found friend to take him to a room in a lodging house at S6l Mission street.
 After reaching the room he became un- conscious, and remained in that condi- tfon until the next morning. When he started to dress himself he discovered that the stranger had robbed him of diamond ring, a silver watch and cham, gold scarf pin and $l2 ln money;
 Realizing he had been drugged by his headuuarters and reported the matter to Chief Lees. He claimed that after enter ing the restaurant he noticed the stran- ger drop some white substance in his coffee He asked him what he meant. and was told that the powder" greatly improved the beverage.
 I've always use it in Dawson" he re- marked Coffee without the powder would be considered dishwater in the gold regions of the north"
 A short time after drinking the coffee Hayes felt sick, and went outside. The waiter evidently thinking that he in tended to "beat' him, asked him to settle for the dinner. Just then his friend" produced his purse, and tossing s2O gold piece on the counter informed the waiter that he would pay the bill. By this time Hayes had reached the street, and as he realized he was fast losing consciousness he accepted the offer of the stranger to go to his room.
 Hayes describes the man as being about S5 years of age, and had a light mustache. He spoke with a slight foreign accent which Hayes thinks was assumed.
 After listening to the story Chief Lees detailed two of his best men to hunt the rObber.

TROUBLE ON THE OMEGA.
The Barkentine's Crew De- serted When GrayS HaP-
 bOT, Was Reached.

The barkentine Omega is In trouble at Grays Harbor. She left here with a full crew, but as soon as the vessel reached port the men left her in a body. It was impossible to secure another crew at that point, so the captain telegraphed to Seat tie but failed there also. He then sent word to the owners here, and if the men can be got together they will be sent north on the steam schooner Signal to- day. The chances are that in order to get the barkentine back to San Francisco her owners will have to pay the sailors union wages.
 The new steamer Roanoke is shortly to go into commission in the St. Michael run. Dr. E. A. DigginS. one of the very capable and popular internes at the liar bor Receiving Hospital, will go out as surgeon on her. While the vessel is lying off the mouth of the Yukon Dr. Diggins is going to fish for nuggets, and he ex- poets to get enough specimens to supply his host of friends on the front with one each when he returns.
 The barkentine Catherine Sudden will probably get away Tuesday next with 12o tween fifty and sixty of her passengers are now living aboard and are praying that the sailing of the vessel may not be delayed. The two launcheS-Nugget and Hattie Farnsworth-that are going up on the barkentine had their trial trips yes terday. Captain Dickey had charge of the Nugget and had Fred .sl3i Howard for his
 
 the Matte Farnsworth. and M. Rogers looked after the steam. The boats had an exciting race to Hunters Point and Mulkey's launch won by a nose. On the return trip the Nugget win was princi- pally due to the splendid steering of Cap tain Dickey.
 The river steamer Clara Is almost ready for her journey to the Yukon; Engines and supplies are on board and in a few days the stern wheeler is to be lifted onto a barge. When all Is ready both barge and steamer will be lowed to St. Michael.

RECOGNIZES
 NO VACATION Policemen Hurt on Duty Must Pay for It. A QUESTION IS ANSWERED. CITY EMPLoYES UNDER THE CHARTER IN BAD FIX. Auditor Frederick Plainly Says That He Would Refuse to Audit
 Demands for Time Lost
 in Service.

The following correspondence on the liability of the city officials and em- ployes under the new charter will be read with peculia- interest:
 SAN FRANCISCO, May 20, 1898.
 Hon. William Broderick, Auditor City and County of San Francisco, City.-Dear Sir: I desire to call your attention to communication published In The Call on May 19, signed by l. Cutie, late a the communication in question Mir. Cutie declares that the provisions of section 5. article 16 of the new charter do not affect employees of the. Fire, Police and School departments under the instrument. The provisions of said section are as follows:
 "No deputy clerk or other employe of the city and county shall be paid for a greater time than that covered by his actual service" Page 145, Charter Pam phlet)
 MT. Cute contends that no deputy clerk or other employe working for an annual salary would be affected by the section quoted. and he holds that 1t was intended to apply and does apply only to temporary attaches of the municipal gov ernment.
 I also desire to call your attention to the provisions of section 6, chapter 9, article " of the proposed charter. This section reads in part as foiows:
 NO demand shall be allowed by the Auditor in favor of any officer or employe for the time he shal have ab- sented himself without legal cause from the duties of his office during office hours. The Auditor must always examine on oath any person receiving a salary from the city and county touching such ab- sence.'
 The question ask you. in view of this condition of the proposed law, Is this: Would you audit warrant in favor of any deputy, clerk or other employe of the city and county for time not actually con- sumed in the service of the city? Of course, I except from this question fire men who have been disabled in the dis charge of their duties, as there is a special provision in the Fire Department article covering their cases.
 AS Auditor, the charter makes you re- sponsible on your official bond for passing illegal demands. Would not demand drawn iD favor of a deputy, clerk or other
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-21

employe for time not actually consumed in the service of the city be an illegal demand?
 This question is of great interest to all employees of the municipal government, and for the purpose of resolving whatever doubt may exist in their minds as to the probable action of yourself, or any person who may occupy the position of Auditor under the proposed charter, 1 respectfully request you to return me as soon as pos sible your answer. Very respectfully yours, w. 5. LEAkE.
 SAN FRANCISCO. May 20, 1898.
 w S. Leake Esq.-Dear Sir: Your favor of even date Is at hand. I have carefully examined the quotations made, and in answer would say that 1 believe the Auditor would be obliged to refuse the audit of all demands not sus- tained by the provisions of section B of article XVI of the charter, if acting as auditor under it's provisions.
 The consolidation act, section S2. made it the duty of the Auditor to re- fuse to audit demands of officers who absented tthemselves from office during office hours, and that he might exam inc such officers on oath touching such absence The charter has amended that section to the extent of adding the words "or employees" and that the Auditor ''must always examine on oath any person touching such ab sence.
 The courts have decided that the provisions of section 32, as a principle, cannot apply to statutory officers that salaries to statutory officers go to the offices filled and not to the detail of service rendered.
 The salaries are based upon the title to office and not the detail amount of service.
 It is quite evident that the intent of the Board of Freeholders was to apply the penalty to all kinds of employees as we'll as officers, and while their inten- tion may not affect officers, it may ern- ployes I have no knowledge of any court decisions on the question of sal aries to clerks and employees, and therefore in the absence of such. I am of the opinion that the Auditor would be compelled to recognize the provis- ions of section 33 as those to govern his action and as a clear and definite expression of the intent of the law making power. The courts have al- ways held that the intention of the Legislature should govern in the exc cution of all laws (not unconstitution- al or void). I consider demands. except those of statutory officers, drawn in conflict with section B, illegal under the charter, and the Auditor would be liable on his bond should he sign such. Yours respectfully,
 WILLIAM FREDERICK, Auditor.
