She Wanted Her Man.

The husband was in the Army and she wanted
to get him out. She did not oppose his enlist
ment, for she can her own living. and does
not depend on him for support. She is a negro
woman, and her husband is with the Tenth
Cavalry at Santiago.
When she called at department headquarters
yesterday afternoon and requested her ''man''
discharged, there a certain anxiety in her
which indicated that she was fearful
lest he might meet his doom while battling with
the dons. 1t seemed strange, knowing she

Army, she had not interposed an objection
sooner. At any rate she appeared now to be
fully aware of the danger which confronted her
better half and extremely solicitous on his ac-
count.
After relating her sad story to the adjutant
general and being assured that the case would
have immediate attention, the woman said TO a

Standing of the Clubs.

Again the Trolley Dodgers went down
before the Senators yesterday at Nation
al Park. The day was an ideal one for
ball playing and a good exhibition was
given by both teams. There was also a
splendid crowd present incIuding large
number Of the gentler sex As in the
two previous games the visitors started
OF in the lead and the Senator's had an
other uphill fight.
The game was very interesting and
close from beginning 10 end. Each team
had many opportunities to score, but the
needed hit did not materialize. II was
pitchers battle, pure and simple, and
the Washington twirler was more fortu-
nate than the Brooklyn box artist in
keeping hits scattered at critical points
Both Evans and Miller were somewhat
wild in the first inning. but the former
soon steadied down and had good control
10 the finish. Eight hits We're made off
each twirler, Evans scattering his
through seven innings, while those Sc
cured of Miller were punched in four
Selbach, Anderson and Gettman led in
stick work. The opportune batting Of
Anderson. in fact, won the game, as he
drove in the much needed winning run in
the seventh inning after two men had
been retired. His base running also was
a feature and was responsible for anoth-
er run. So. Of the four runs scored, the
credit Of three Of them is due to the
stalwart ex-Brooklynite.
In field work, the same trio of artists
carried of the honors. In the second in
ming Anderson made a great stop of
Wrikley's wild throw to first and retired
the runner. SeIbach made a sensational
running catch Of ShindIe's long drive to
the left field fence in the sixth and Gett-
mans capture Of fuckers apparent hon
or into the bleachers in the eighth elected
round after round OF applause. The
work Of Wagner in center field was also
Of q high order and demonstrates that he
is a valuable utility man.

he made up in hilarity what he failed to express
otherwise The veteran actors face was a
study in wrinkles and quzzeai expressions that
chased another with, rapidity. He looked
merry and, notwithstanding theaforesaid wrin-
kles, seemed to be getting lot OF fun out OF
life
The dress of the three men was characteristic
of them Mr. Jefferson wore a brown Newman
ket, and his silk hat was pushed back slightly,
with an air of nonchalance that suited his man
ner. Mr. Depew's habliments of the kind
commonly seen successful business men, silk

he wore a pot hat He had been playing in

Plans for Defending PittsburG
(From the Pittsburg Dispatch.)


at may not be generally known said prom
inent civil engineer yesterday, that there re
poses in the War Department today a comnlete
set of maps and plans for the defense of Pitts
burg against an invading army There are out
lines of fortifcatons that would embrace the
entire city, plans for heavy artillery be planted
in the most vulnerable points, and the
spots where reserve troops could be successfully
massed without interfering with those active
duty. There are such maps and plans at the War
Department for every city Of Importance in the
United States. Several years ago a corps Of
United States engineers made a tour of the eoun-
try, gathering material regarding the possible
defenses Of the chief commercial centers. OF
course, there is not one chance in 10000 that
the information will ever be more than than a
passing matter of interest to engineering ex-
perts yet it shows how vigilant our Government
has been in times of peace The defenses of
Pittsburg not only include earthworks and in
trenchments to be defended by heavy artillery
but system OF mines for the rivers, to guard
against possible encroach,nent from that quarter
and line of forts down the Ohio. Parenthet-
ically, it might be of interest to know that the
! much-revered and carefully preserved rife pits
hurriedly thrown up during the civil war were
of much derision and woader to the
engineering corps, who regarded them as child's
work Those bitches would have been practically
