Evolution Of q Hero.

Ex-County Attorney W. B. Allin told
this war story: 1t was just before the
battle Of Murfreesboro that detachment
of Morgan's command was guarding a
mountain pass few miles from Brady
Vile, Tenn. A portion Of the valley
leading to the pass was densely wooded
and swampy. The marshy ground
abounded in bullfrogs of huge proper
tions and the trees afforded myriads Of
owls of immense size roosting place.
Among the soldiers was stripping from
near Stanford by the name of Spreeler.
1t was gloomy, wild and windy night
that Spreeler was called upon to do
guard duty. Along about o'clock,
when the sky was of leaden hue and
the wind sighed fitfully through the
trees, an owl on nearby limb hooted:
"Who-who-wh are you?"
"John Spreelerl" exclaimed the SEN
tinel, trembling in his boots.
Just at that moment bull frog in
deep bass tones seemed to say:
"Sur-sur-surround him."
cpl be darned if you do, exclaimed
Spreeler as lie fired his musket and
broke for camp, which had been thrown
into the widest confusion by the alarm,
it being thought that the enemy was at
lacking the outposts. When the true
state Of affairs was understood, the 9TH
ers made life burden for John until
the battle of Murfreesboro, when the
Lincoln county stripping was promoted
for conspicuous bravery. He was after
ward assigned to Bragg's army and died
like hero at the ''battle above the
clouds" while in the forefront Of the
charge and trying to spike an enemy'G
cannon. -Harrodshurg (Ky.l Democrat.

Strange Story Of Mr.. Terriss' Dog.

Mr.. Tom Terriss relates curious and
inexplicable incident in connection with
the assassination Of his father, the late
William Terriss. On the night Of the
murder Mrs. Terriss was sitting in the
drawing room of the Cottage, Bedford
park, the late actor home, with pet
dog-an intelligent fox terrier called
Davie, after MI Terriss' fayorite part
of Lieutenant David Kingsley in "The
Harbor Lights" - comfortably asleep
upon her lap
Messrs William and Tom Terriss, the
sons, were also III the room. The clock
marked 20 minutes past Z, when sud-
denly, without the slightest warning,
the dog leaped from Mrs. Terriss' lap
and dashed frantically about the room,
yelping, swapping and showing all the
signs of a paroxysm Of mingled rage
and fear. The behavior of Davie was so
extraordinary that it seriously upset
Mrs. Terriss for the remainder OF the
evening. 1t was exactly at 20 minutes
past Z that Mr.. Terriss was murdered.
"My brother Will and Iwere playing
chess said Mr.. Tom Terriss when
questioned on the subject, land the dog
was apparently quietly doing on my
mothers lap, and it startled US all coll
siderably as it bounded up and down
the room with frantic snaps and snarls.
Ny mother was very much alarmed and
cried out: What does he see? What
does be see?' convinced that the dogs
anger was directed at something unseen
by us. My brother and soothed her as
we'll as we could, though ourselves con-
siderably puzzled at the behavior of an

very hour of nv fathers death.

At the monthly meeting Of tho School Board
for tho borouRhs of Manhattan and tho Bronx
Commissioner Agar offered resolution yester-

tribute l cent apiece toward the Red Cross

vote OF 10 to 8. A substitute wns then offered
authorizing principals Of schools to request sub.
scriptions from their pupils for the Same pur-
pose. but this was also voted down.
Chairman Henry w. Taft of the Committee on

After listening to communication from

he reported that on May II there were IA

accommodations should be supplied at once,
and waiting list of 2607, the board took up

Proposed Outrage Against Populists.

At the National Convention of the Mid
dleof.the-Road Populists, which met at
Omaha on Tuesday. with twenty.six States
represented and nineteen unaccounted for,
new and radical departure was proposed.
A motion to limit the speeches of the del
egates and visiting statesmen to five min
utes each was made formally and vlgor-
ously discussed. As in a aMiddle-of.the he. Road
Populist Convention, national, State, or
local, every man present is expected to talk,
and there are few instances in which the
expectation Is not amply and even copi-
ously fulfilled, this was dampening sug-
gestion. II limit of five minutes of
speaking time had been adopted, the pro-
ceedings of the convention would have
been completed within a single working
day, and the promise of Populist GEORGE
WAsHDURN OF Massachusetts,, Chairman
of the Populist Executive Committee, in
the call to the Populist congressman, Gov
ernors, and State Chairmen and Secreta-
ries to attend the convention, that each
should have the privilege Of the floor "to
express their opinions" but not to vote
would have been falsifled shamelessly.
| The Middle-of theRoad Populists are
most numerous in those localities which
are furthest removed from railroad and
steamboat communication, turnpikes and
! trolley cars, and to invite them to Omaha
to speak without voting and then to limit
the set speech Of each to five minutes
would have been an insult Of most peril
GUS character in any meeting place having
portable fixtures and q roof.
In strict harmony with the best Populist
tradition the new departure of flve-min
ute speeches was voted down, and reg
ular session Of wind and fury is assured the

friends OF ours, like Lord WoLsELEY, say
substantially the same thing, because they
do not desire that we should lose the first
campaign by rashness.
Meanwhile we are quietly going ahead,
certainly not too slowly, and thus far, VIC
think, not too fast. 1t is for us to make and
carry out our own plans, and prophecies
and counsels approve or condemn, as they
please. Our friends In Europe should learn
that we heard, several weeks ago, that there
was an annual rainy season in Cuba, and we
can form something Of guess, also, at the
numbers Of the Spanish forces there and the
degree Of preparation of our own troops.
We could not conveniently take Santiago
and San Juan any earlier in the year, and
VIC do not propose to walt until winter for
them. We may not please, in all respects,
our military mentors on the other side Of
the ocean, but we have tolerably clear
idea of what we want and how to get It.

New York is to have another portrait show
similar to those given SO successfully in 1894
and in 1895. This will also be given for q char
liable object. Tho first Loan Exhibition of
Women's Portraits was held at the Academy
of Design and nearly $50 900 was handed over
to st. Johns Guild and the OrthopRdio Hos
pital. the two charities that benefited by the
affair. The following year only the Ortho-
pRdic Hospital was interested, and it received
about $4,000. Already preparation has been
made to gather the best works of American
artists living here and in Europe. well as the
works of some of the old masters. The exhibit
tion. which is to continue FOR six weeks. will bo
held during December and January at the
Academy OF Design. The beneficiary will be

1t is the intention Of those interested in tho
exhibit to make 1t consist primarily of wo-
mems portraits. but one room will be devoted TO
artists who painted them are eminent. The
exhibition will be rather limited in size In order
that the works may be of good. quality. That
they will be limit ed to about 400 is not significant
wholly of the social position of tho Subjects.
One feature Of tho exhibition will be the por-
traits of New York women recently painted by
Madrazo. Carolus Duran. and Ba!dini. These
have already been promised, and another nov.
city will be the exhibition OF q number OF por-
traits by Gainshoreugh. Sir Joshua Reynolds.

Tho Additional Beer Tax.

The pretence of demagoGical newspapers
that the additional tax of a dollar barrel
on beer will work hardship for the poor con.
sumer is pure stuff. or course, the brewers
will add the tax to their charge to the re-
taller, and already we have published the
advertisement of many of them announcing
their intention 80 to do, but the consumer
will not feel the tax appreciably.
1t is only little more than three cents a
gallon, or less than one cent aquart. II the
retailer diminishes the quantity of beer he
gives by the glass 80 as to cover the extra
price Of the dollar barrel he pays, the loss
to the consumer will be barely more than
a single drop.
The additional beer tax, then, is one of
the easiest for the people to bear which
could have been imposed. Its burden is
light at the most, so light as not to be
worth consideration by the poorest, and it
is distributed throughout society.
