TOD INGRAHAM.
Tribute of Capt. J. G. Waters to the
Boy Soldier.

Tribute of Capt >. q. waters co Cne
Boy Soldier
The following is an extract from J. c..
Waters speech delivered at Col Harri-
sons home last evening:
An incident that recently occurred in
this city, and almost in this neighbor-
hood. is so chivalrous, so sweet, so
grand. that in an assemblage called to-
gyether bv the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, in aid of our soldiers in
the field I can not help alluding to It,
We have had. for the last year, in TINS
city a bugle corps of half grown boys;
the very flower of all our best boys
Tod Ingrah ham, whose name sounds like
an echo Of the revolution, commanded
it. He was the only son OF his parents
In his vest was buttoned a MerrlInac
and another Manila. A manly, reSOluIe
fellow. the delight of those VINO knew
MIN, as he was the love of his parents
We have seen his corps, in their gay
uniforms on parade. They planted thelr
bugleS on the OutpOStS of the city, ana
their bugles here and their bugleS there
mellOwed the evenings air The city
was shocked to hear that young 1ngra-
ham had been drowned 1t was tears
and sorrow from all who knew him,
and for his parents q black night whose
only star was the memory Of their
dead boy When his body was found
and the young brave was borne to ms
mother, his comrades, in full uniform,
with mute bugles, pitched their tent on
the lawn, hOisted the star spangled
banner at half mast, shrOuded its staff
with mourning, and established an hon
orary guard; and all the long hours that
he lay in his own home, the foot fan
of his fellow braves touched the SWard
on their melancholy round. His pallid
lips. his dazed eyes, his Stilled heart,
were covered with flowers, but he had
wandered away from fields of doing and
daring to meadows across which the
echo Of his bugles are still blowing. His
comrades, in every office of tenderness,
rendered their last service of honor to
their commander. They We're his pail
bearers and escort, and at the grave
as the cIOds touched coffin and heart
together, the thunder of a last salute
was given by the states artillery. He
sleeps in the uniform of his corps with
the dumb bugIe on his breast. Death
precludes the fulhlIment of prophecy
as to him. but that young hero would
bravely have met his death, wherever
duty might have taken him, and he
would as gaily met death with last sa-
lutte of blade, as when the jaunty ad-
iutant goes down the dress parade
There are none to answer why he should
die But this incident was beautiful as
a fairy's dream; and the passer-by VINO
sighted the white tent, the half raised
flag. and the STRIPPING sentry, left the
scene with a sentiment in his heart that
will cling close as his shadow.

Courtesies of His Captors.

New York, July 21.-After Admiral
Cervera and the crew of his ruined
Spanish ships arrived in this country,
says the World, Emilio NJ. M.Castillo, pres
ident of the Spanish Benevolent sOci-
ETY. of this city, obtained from President
Mckinley permission to pay visit to
the prisoners Mr.. Castillo was born in
Spain, but has been a citizen of the
United States since 1896. He has just
returned after a days visit at AnnapO-
lis. He received courteous treatment
from Admiral McNair and had CONVEX
sations with Admiral Cervera and his
officers. After explaining to a reporter
that the purpose of his visit was to Of
fer such aid as the Spanish officers
might need, Mr.. Castillo said:
Admiral Cervera and his officers ex-
pressed great gratitude for the gener-
Gus treatment of the American gov
eminent. Nothing that could add to
their physical comfort has been omit
ted"
Mr.. Castillo said that the view that
the Spanish fleet was Outclassed pre-
vailed among CerVera's officers while
the ships lay in Santiago bay
There was always shortage of
coal" Mr.. Castillo said. "They could
not iniure the American fleet because
they came out of Santiago harbOr in
single file Each ship was pounded as
she came out"
Mr.. Castillo said the Spanish gov
ernment had sent a draft for 900 for
the expenses of the men in this country
and that the money is now available.
Admiral Cervera's figures show that
20 of his officers were lost. He has
learned that one who was reported as
missing has turned up at Santiago.
Have Admiral Cervera and his Off
GERS formed any plans for the future ?''
Plans" said Mr.. Castillo with a
laugh. "They are prisoners"

HE SKIPPED OUT.
Christianity Doesn't Even Mean Com
mon Politeness in Some Cases.

Sunday evening after DR. ]. D. COun-
terrnine had preached his sermon at the
First Presbyterian church about the re-
latfon of the Doctor to the Gospel, and
the congregation had been dismissed
with the benedfction, people who had
driven horses there went out IN front
to unite them and leave.
Two buggies stood near the front en-
trance. One was a surrey and in it had
entered three ladies. The buggy next II
was that of a well known Topeka doc
tor He climbed into his buggy and
backed his horse. In so doing he cramp-
ed the wheel so that the rear wheel
crashed into the rear wheel Of the sur
rev. breaking it. The doctor looked out
of his buggy and saw what had nap
pened then quickly whipped his morse
and drove away without going back
1t was this very physician who had
replied to DR.. COuntermine's questions
and gave learned opinion in which he
stated how closely was the doctor re-
lated to the Gospel. Those who saw the
accident and who heard his answers
read in the church thought that MS ac-
ton in whipping his horse and leaving
so suddenly didn't correspond to ms
Christian principles as expressed Tor
the public.

Honor to Whom Honor Is Due.

The Topeka Railway company under
standing, from remarks made by it's
patrons, that the impression has gone
out that the exhibitions at Garfield
park, were given under it's auspices,
desires to correct that impression to the
end that those in charge may have full
credit for the attempts to amuse and
entertain the people.
The railway company has no voice in
the management of Garfield park, or
any other place of amusement on its
lines.
MarshaIls band deserves great credit
for it's efforts to please the public, in
which it is always successful, and
should be literally patronized by ev-
erybody.
