Never before was war SO written up
and overwritten. There are cable dis
patches which cost five dollars word,
and 1t is estimated that the city jour-
nails spend in the aggregate for war
correspondence a hundred thousand
dollars day. Indeed. millions would
soon be eaten up by the fleets of steam
yachts and tugs manned by reporters,
sketchers and photographers, fiuttering
about among the battleships and ply
ing between the Cuban coast and the
mainland. And it costs pile of money
to manufacture countless columns and
pages Of news" out of mere rumors and
guesses, or to beat few drops of fact
into iridescent froth enough to food
half dozen daily editions.

The tendency of the American won.
an to unpunctuality was prominently
displayed at the recent Mothers Con-
gress in Washington, where allowances
Of half an hour had to be made for the
opening Of sessions and the arrival OF
speakers. At reception given the del
egates by Mrs. Mckinley, many of them
arrived too late to see her, although
the hours had been distinctly noted in
the Invitation. "It is the fashinn to
go to Ranelagh after 1t is over" Horace
Walpole once wrote to friend; tas
music ends at ten, the guests arrive at
twelve" Unpunctuality may not be
one Of the seven deadly sins, but the
person who lags behind stated hour
shows that she considers her own con-
venIenes before that OF others.

A FAINT CRY CAME 10 THORNE

A FAINT CRY GAME TO THORNE.
And the Conqueror's tiIler never
waVered in Thornes hard grasp. His
eye on the huff of the sail, his breath
coming short and hard, every thought
hurled forward with his flying boat. he
was making up for the failure of last
year-he would win this time beyond
doubt or disbelief Already the tide in
the pudding stones" was shouting vic
tory in his ears. He laughed to it. and
a voice came crying back. Thorne
looked around. He wondered if any of
the other boys had heard it.
The wind had veered into the east
and was piling UP the waves so that
the "crew' who lay for ballast along
the starboard rail caught glimpse now
and then of the FIeetwing staggering
on behind. They saw and heard moth
ing else.
Again that faint cali came to Thorne
like the voice in the ripple of water
He bent and looked under the boom.
Something was dancing toward the ia
tai current round the pudding stones"
Dancing like a thoughtless child. A
wave lifted it nearer. 1t was a skiff
and a bit of white stuff fluttered from
the bow. Well, many boats came ont
to sea, why should Thorne notice this
Yes, many boats came-but not so far
not skifs-not with something white
flying from the prov in terrified signal
of distress-surely not with frightened
cries for help-for mamma" and "pa-
pa" But why should Thorne stop to
help. Dave was close behind him 81
close that if he changed his course now
enough to rescue the little skiff, he
would be too late by the time he had
come back and rounded the "pudding
stone" buoy on the starboard side Dave
would have passed him.
A wave tossed the little craft on Ire
crest-another, and another, each wave
nearer to the whirl Of water over +be
rocks. Thorne could see the spindle nm
the crag standing like a warning finger
1t was time to tack out around It and
start on the last leg home. Again came
that frightened sobbing cry, SO homeless
and so lost. Thorne looked at his
crew.
Il say, Thorne, the Fleetwing seems
to be gaining" called little Harley
1--WE can't be losing now, eh?"
Thorne's hand trembled on the wbeel
The rudder swayed. Slowly the shad-
ow of the sail swung round over its
captain. With cry of amazement the
boys flung themselves into the lockpit.

The CONFEDERATE VETERANS
The annual reunion of the United Con.
federate Veterans, who met this week
at Atlanta, Ga, will be held next year
in Charleston, S. G. The entrance of
Miss Winnie Davis to the hall yester-
day was the signal of remarkable
demonstration. She was escorted to
the front of the stage by General Cor
don, who introduced her as the "child
OF our immortal chieftain, and our own
child" By unanimous vote it was de-
cded to condemn the expression War
OF the Rebellion" being applied to the
struggle OF 1861 IS, and to urge the
designation of it as the civil war be-
tween the States" This was unani-
mously adopted. Upon the recon-
mepdation Of the Alabama division a
resolution was passed calling on all Of
the divisions TO aid in raising fund to
purchase the white House" of the
Confederacy at Montgomery, Ala.
Atlanta was decorated with endless
miles of bunting for the Confederate
parade at 5 p. N. yesterday. Mrs.
Stonewsll Jackson, Miss Winnie Davis,
Mrs. John B. Gordon and Mrs. Cabelle
Carrie, president of the Daughters of
the Contederacy, occupied carriages, as
did also General and Mrs. Longstreet,
General and Mrs. Hooker and General
Wade Hampton. The parade was Sc
riously interferred with by heavy
rain which broke over the city just as
the procession moved.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT AND KILLED.
Harry Preston Moore, the 1Syear-old
son of County Treasurer Samuel h..
Moore, of Lexington, was accidentally
shot and killed Thursday.
Ten days ago a party OF young
boys went from Lexi lgton on
camping and fishing expedition to
Windy Cove, Bath county. Thursday
morning young Moore, accompanied
by companion, went to join the par
ty. Just before o'clock in the after
noon Samuel Glasgow, son of MIR.
Frank I. Glasgow, took his shot gun
and went down the river to shoot q
turtle. On his return, when about
fifty feet from the tent, he attempted
to let down the hammer of his gun,
when it was discharged, the entire load
entering young Moore's body on the
right side. He was seated with com
panion on the bank, who escaped: as
Moore shielded him. Medical alo was
summoned and arrived shortly after
wards, but young Moore died within
an hour. The entire community Is
greatly shocked, for the young men
were members of the best known fam

the witness need testify to. Mayor
| Simpson summarized the evidence, af-
ter which the lieutenant was suspended
for Is days.
The lieutenant said he bowed to the
sentence and subsequently turned his
badge over to Chief Webster At the
] conclusion OF the investigation the
Mayor took occasion to say in justice to
the accused officer that the statement
in the Gazette to the effect that he
had followed the Mayor on his rounds
was not correct, for the lieutenant had
yesterday stated to him in writing that
while he had seen the Mayor at 11:20
o'clock turning the corner of Came
ron and Royal streets he had not seen
him again during the night The Mayor
also stated that no request had been
made to him for a public investigation
and that such requests were entirely
needless, as the officers we'll know that
none but public investigations are
held in his Office. It is understood
there will be no appeal from the May
or's decision. There had been up TO
the time of the suspension no one ap-
pointed to post the men at ten o'clock,
and the chief hurried home, procured
his accoutrements and took the lieu
tenants place. This morning a note
was sent to the station house by the
Mayor announcing that Sergeant Smith
would act as lieutenant of the force
during the next fifteen days, and that
officer Belts would serve as sergeant
during the same period.
