HORSES ACTIONS IN BATTLE
Some Keep Their Heads In the Mad Rush;
Some Lose Them.

Some Lose Them.
A man seldom cries out when hit in
the turmoil of battle. 1t is the same
with horse. Five troopers out of six,
when struck bya bullet, are out of their
saddles within minute. If hit in the
breast or shoulder, up go their hands
and they get heavy fall; if in the leg
or foot or arm, they fall forward and
roll off. But even with foot cut off
by q jagged piece of shell a horse will
not drop. 1t is only when shot through
the head or heart shat he comes down.
He may be fatally wounded, but he
hobbies out of the fight to right or left
and stands with dropping head until
loss CT blood brings him down. Tho
horse that loses his rider and is un-
wounded himself will continue to run
with his set of fours until some move
ment throws him out. Then he goes
galloping here aud there, neighing with
fear and alarm, but will not leave the
field. In his racing about he may get
among the dead and wounded, but he
will dodge them, if possible, and in
any case leap over them. When he has
come upon three or four other riderless
steeds, they "fall in" and keep together,
as if for mutual protection, and the
"rally" OH the bugle may bring the
whole of them into the ranks i'll Il body.
a horse which has passed through
battle unwounded is fretful, sulky and
nervous-the same as q man-for the
next three or four days. His first battle
is also the making or unmuking of him
as warhorse. Ii the nervous tension
has been too great, he will become a
bolter in the face of danger, and there
by become danger i'll himself. If the
test has not been beyond him, he will
go into the next fight with head held
high and fiecks of foam blowing from
his mouth as he thunders over the
earth. Post.

HE sQuANDERED MILLIONS,
The Wildly Reckless Finnncia. Career Of
Baron Albert Grant.


One of the most dramatic If not ac-
tually one of the largest failures, SO far
as the liabilities were concerned, was
that of Baron Albert Grant Of emma

crowned king of the financial world OF
his day and generation. He made mil
lions almost as deftly as the late Mr..
Barney Barnato, and he spent them
right royalty. He bought Leicester
square and presented it, free gift, to
the people of London. He gave din
ner to nearly Thousand city magnates
at IL cost which was popularly reputed
at the time to have exceeded 100 guineas
head, and which, in any event, un-
doubtedly established record in ex-
travagant dinner giving which has yet
to be beaten.
And he started out to build !. palace
in Kensington which should "knock
spots offs all other private residences
past, present or to come. Everything
was got up regardless Of expense. The
ballroom walls were inset with panels
Of pink italian marble, costing 500
guineas each. In the entrance hall were
four pillars of porphyry, worth 1000

In 1861 the repeal of the paper duty
was NOTING the political world. The
budget speech was preceded by rumor
that the basis Of the scheme would be
the repeal of the tea duty aud that this
would upset the government. Just be-
fore Mr.. Gladstone rose to make his
statement there was handed to Lord
Palmerston on the treasury bench the
following note from Lord Derby: my

A HARD RAILROAD TO BEAT.

Ono Man In Double Distilled III Luck
Found It So.
The Southern Pacific is about the
worst road i'll the wide, wide world to
fool in the matter of transportation.
The Southern Pacific has such plain
monopoly of California business that it
is not necessary for it to look for favors,
so it closes down very tight. Even the
tickets which the scalpers succeed in
getting are so hedged about with pre-
cautions that it is like taking q civil
service examination to beat one of them.
The favorite is long slip which is
designed to be punched to fit the de.
scription Of the purchaser, so that by
no means eau it be used by another
than the rishtful owner. When one of
these tickets appears in a scalper's stock,
it looks like q porous plaster, being
punctured for the color Of the eyes, the
hair, stature, weight, complexion and
other details Of the physical make up.

CRASHING At STRAWS.
Spanish Think Every Expression Of
sympathy Means an Alliance.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Madrid cor
respondent OF the Times says the state
ment OF the Berlin correspondent of Ia
Correspondence de Espana, that En-
peror William at a private dinner last
week declared: so long as William H. Is
the German emperor the United States
shall not posses themselves of Cuba" is
not confirmed. The correspondent adds:
The report has stimulated a specala-
ton in Madrid as TO the support Spain is
likely TO receive there (Berlin). This spec
ulation, however. is marked by an inabi-
ity TO distinguish properly between moral
sympathy and material assistance so that
the slightest hint Of goodwill thrown out
by foreign newspapers or diplomats IS
clutched at as an earnest OF impending al
lance. But the prevailing contectures are
very wild and appear TO be based on no
definite Information

Ambassador White shows Why the
story In Improbable.

story Ii Improbable.
LONDON. March I3.-The Sunday Spe-
cial publishes from its Berlin correspond
ent an interview with United States Am
bassador White on the attitude of the
United States toward Spain and the Gu
ban situation.
Ambassador White, according TO this
dispatch. declares the statement that the
United States had entered into an aiii-
ance with England and Japan was abso-
lutely without foundation.
The Americans Mr.. White is reported
to have said, will never bind themselves
by such an alliance. President Mckin-
leys administration cannot act against
the tradition which holds all such COM
piications In Americas international re-
lations as wrong. Least of all will it do
this for tho sake of interests In the far
East. The fear OF war with Spain must
not be taken too seriously. The $50. 600 900
credit Is no proof that the United States
intends going to war, since the govern
ment has long demanded such a credit
for the purpose of harbor defenses. This.
however. has been postponed. owing to
the niggardly policy congress has hitherto
pursued"
He characterized as "quite untrue the
statement that the United States had
placed large orders with Herr Krupp. and
added:
America possesses ammunition of all
kinds and war material in the government
factories sufficient for every emergency"

RAILROADS GETTING READY.



ATLANTA, Ga, March is.-orders were
received here tonight by the master me-
chanics Of all the railroads entering the
city TO have every engine steamed up and
ready for use al a moments notice. All
roundhous>s and yards are lighted up to-
work-a very unusual thing for Sunday
night.
A trip 10 the roundhouses OF the several
roads did not elicit any Information. Those
in charge said the engines We're merely
fred UP for an emergency. and that they
always kept some ready 10 be sent out in
case OF a breakdown or putting out OF
extra trains. II was denied that any or
der had been received to have an extra
number OF engines ready for use. though
that a movement of troops was expected
early In the week.
Acting under instructions believed to
have been received last night, the West
ern & Atlantic shops had on full force
today. Engines which have not been used
for year, and freight cars abandoned
some time ago. are to be overhauled and
all rolling stock is being repaired.
The conference of railroad men in Wash
ington today lent color to the report that
emergency work had been ordered on sew
eral OF the roads. although IT is denied
that such an order has been issued. 1t is
known that information reached Atlanta
late last night looking to the pushing Of
this work.
