A SOUND SLEEPER
His Room on Fire and He Did Not
Know It

About $50 damage was done to the fur
nishings of a room in the Gray Gables
lodging house at Seventh and Hill streets
at o'clock this morning, through careless
ness in the disposal of lighted cigarette.
A young man ahmed Penny occupies the
room and had retired, leaving, as he sup
posed, lighted cigarette lying on the edge
of the dresser.
At any rate, small boy passing the
place saw the glare of flames in the room
and notified Officer Holleran, who made
an investigation and sent in an alarm from
box 16. Penny slept through all The rum
pus, and after the house had been aroused
was dragged out and awakened to his
danger. The blaze was put out by the de-
partment in short order.

The Negro in War

The Leavenworth Herald, discussing the
war, appeals to history, with the following
result:
1.-THE first blood shed in the Revolutionary
war was given for the cause of American
freedom by a negro. Crispus Attucks. The
second war with Great Britain was precip-
itated by the impressment Of five Ameri-
can sailors, three of whom were negroes
From a negro Andrew Jackson learned the
art of using cotton bales as a defense.
The first man killed in the late civil war
was a negro. who was with Pennsylvania
regiment. The first regiment sent to the
front now is negro regiment. 1t seems
that God has placed the negro first in war
first for the flag and last in the hearts of
his countrymen"

L. G. Chambliss returned yes
terday from inspecting his farm
at Oxford and thirty-acre orange
grove at Alto, in Sumter county.
He says that for the first time
since the great freeze he is proud
that he owns a grove. He found
the trees (all budded) in thrifty
condition, growing just as fast as
the generous rains will make
them, and the quantity of fruit
very much in excess of his expec-
tations. The trees have put on O.,
great deal of growth since he
saw them last, and next year will
bear a valuable crop of fruit.
This grove has not been hurt by
the cold since the freeze of '95.

Death OF Annie Laura Taylor

Annie Laura Taylor, the
bright and beautiful sixteen year
old daughter of William T. and
Martha d. Taylor, died at nine
o'clock yesterday morning at her
home on Fort King avenue, of
malarial fever, after a lingering
illness Of fifteen weeks.
The funeral was held at the res
idence at two o'clock this after
noon, conducted by Rev. Charles
K. Powell and the frail young
form was laid to rest by the side
of other dear ones in the little
family burial ground near the
house.
A large procession of sorrow
full friends attended the funeral
to pay their last respects to one
they had known and loved in life,
and many and beautiful were the
floral tributes brought by loving
hands.
Through all of the long weeks
of suffering ANNE exhibited the
patience and fortitude of a true
Christian character. She was a
faithful and devoted member of
the Christian church and Sunday
school. Hers was q sweet, Iowa
BILE disposition and held the sin
cere friendship of all who knew
her. both old and young, and her
early death casts a gloom over
the entire community, aud is a
crushing blow to the brothers and
sister, and widowed mother, who,
within the past few years, has
lost her husband and son who
was just budding into mans es-
tate.
All that loving hands and arlx-
iouS hearts could do was done to
stay deaths icy hand, out it was
all in vain. Many changes for
the better were noticed during
the long weeks Of watching and
waiting, and it was only within
the last few days that her life
, was diSpalred Of. The older Sis
ter, Miss Maggie, is very i'll also.

sympathy TO the bereaved family

Rough Riders Not Surprised

1t is quite true that the fight
was d fight against an enemy in
ambush; in a country with such
advantages for ambush as this,
the Spaniards would be fools to
fight us in any other way, but
there is a vast difference between
laundering into an ambuscade
and setting out with the full
knowledge that you will find the
enemy in ambush, and finding
him there, and then driving him
out Of his ambush and before you
for mile and a half into a full re-
treat. This is what Major Gen
eral Joseph Wheeler planned that
General Young and Colonel
Wood should do; so if the conduct
of these officers was reckless, it
was recklessness due to their fol-
lowing out carefully the orders
OIL d veteran general.
At the time of this fight Gen.
eral Wheeler was in command of
all troops on shore, and so con-
tinued as long as General Shafter
remained on board the flagship.
What orders he gave then were,
in consequence, final, but in start
ing General Young and Colonel
Wood to the front when he did,
he disarrangcd the original order
IN which the troops were to move
forward as it had been laid down
| by General Shafter before the
transports arrived at Daiquiri.
According to this original plan,
General Lawton's division of In
fantry should have been in the
van, and in pushing forward regi-
ments from his own division of
dismounted cavalry General
Wheeler possibly exceeded his
authority. That, however, is en-
tirely a question between the two
major generals and does not con-
Germ General Young or Colonel
Wood, who merely obeyed the
orders of their superior officer.
The fact that the Rough Riders,
in their anxiety to be we'll forward
had reached Siboney by making a
forced march at night, does not
alter the fact that their next for
ward movement on Guasimas was
not made in u spirit of independ-
ence, but by order of the com
manding general. - From "The
Rough Riders Fight at Quasi,
mas" by Richard Harding Davis

JUDGE GRIFFITH ExoNERArED.
aBsslutely NO Excuse fer Dunn's Charges
. Against Him.

ALBANY. March 2.-Ex.Judge F. NJ. Danaher
OF this city, the referee in the action brought
against former CountyJudge Lewis h. Griffith Of
Troy by Martin Dunn, Jr.. for the recovery Of
1921 which 1t was alleged Judge Griffith misap-
propriated to his own uses while acting as
Dunn's attorney. has made a report to the APP.
pellate Division Of the Supreme Court fully ex-
oneratlng Judge Griffith. Judge Griffith is one
Of the most prominent gold Democrats in the
State and has Uren mentioned several times by
the Democrats in recent years for Governor. III
this suit. which apparently, sought to besmirch
his character, Judge Griffith was alleged 10 have
forged the name of his client to checks
issued by an Insurance company In payment
OF n loss claim. The referee oharacterizes
the matter as a most villainOus and outrageous
proceeding and utterly unjustitiable. The
charges. he says. were found to be absolutely
baseless. Judge Griffith never received the
checks. and. in fact. the evidence taken shows
that they never were issued. The banks. in.
surance company agents, and the insurance
adjusters all put in testimony that the claims
never were settled. The matter dates back
some six years. and the referee finds no excuse
whatever for Dunn's attack on Griffith AT this
time. The referees report doubtless Will be
confirmed by the Court.
