Rudyard Kipling's Reeessional.

God of our fathers, known of old
Lord of our far-fung battle-llne-
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God Of Hosts, be with US yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget.
The tumult and the shouting dies
The Captains and the Kings depart
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget,
Far-called our navies melt away
On dune and headland sinks the lire
So, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre.
Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest We forget.
If, drunk with sight of power, we lose
Wildtonguest that have not Thee Ill awe
Such boastings as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law,
Lord God Of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget.
For heathcn heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube or iron shard
And guarding calls not Thee to guard,
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord.

getting over the parapet. "
And on the 25th of May the follow
ing:
I was awakened from my sumber by
the noise of large body of armed
men drawn up in a hollow square
around the gallows erected to hang
Capt. W. B. Compton, who made his
escape a few days ago. In moment
discovered the victim was Leopold, a
Confederate officer tried and convicted
by a military commission held at this
place last February, since which time
he has been confined in a cell l
learned the sentence was read TO him
this morning just before they brought
him out to ascend the scatiold. Our
officers were all aroused from their
beds to witness the execution. Leo
pold ascended the scaHold firm and
undaunted. He said he died Ill de-
fence of his country, for which he was
willing to part with his life without a
pang. He trusted that God would
yet give her independence and liberty.
He then pointed to Gen. Morris, who
was present on horseback, and said
that the old gray headed gentleman
there was the cause of his death, that
he was about to suffer a felon's death,
but God was a Judge, he was not, that
he forgave Gen. Morris and hoped to
meet him in heaven. He waved his
handkerchief twice to the Confederate
officers, offered prayer to God and
then told them be was ready. Elijah
Brown, of the ID United States Infan-
try, Company y, who had volunteered
as the Jack Ketch, adjusted the rope,
went down aud touched the spring,
and at $50 a. IN. he was landed into
eternity. He died bravely and with
out struggle He was allowed to
hang thirty minutes, wnen he was ta-
ken down and carried to the dead
house. Gen. Wallace and his staff,
who had come out from Baltimore, re-
mainsd on the ground until the body
was taken down. Gen. Morris rode off
as soon as the trap door fell. Leopold
died as a brave man should do, pray
ing first for his country, then for his
widowed mother and family, and last
ly for himself

A BIG DEAL ON FOOT.
English shipbuilding Firm May Join
the Newport News Concern.

New York, Dec. st was reported in
May this year that the noted ship build
ing firm of Vickers Sons & Maxim, of
Barrow-in-F urnes. England, was about
to purchase an interest in the Cramp &
Sons Ship and Engine Building COM
pany, of Philadelphia, the capital stock
of which corporation would be increased
from IS, 900, 600 to $10, 900, 900, the addi-
tional capital to be supplied by the Eng
fish concern. This rUmOr was denied
by Charles H. Cranp, president of the
Cramp company, and the alliance, if
any had been in contemplation, did not
take place. But it developed yesterday
that there was after all a strong prob
ability that the famous English ship
building and gun making firm would ex-
tend it's operations to this country, ac-
curing a large interest in the great
Newport News ship yard, where, if the
negotiations now in progress are
brought, to a successful conclusion, a
big plant for the manufacture of can
non will also be established.
c. P. Huntington was asked last night
if it was correctly reported that an
English firm had bought the Newport
News ship yard Mr.. Huntington an
sWered:
1T is not true, because the yard has
not been sold as yet, but have been in
negotiations with the VickerS Sons &
Maxim, who have thought Of taking a
large interest in the plant and eStab-
fishing at Newport News, in connection
with the ship yard, an extensive plant
for the manufacture of guns. If these
negotiations should be carried to a con-
cluSiOn there would be established at
Newport News new industry, which
would greatly benefit the city, furnish
ing work and support for thousands of
people more. But the yard would con-
tinue to be an American enterprise, as
do not propose to sell my holdings
outright, but to retain a large interest.
I would like, however, to lessen my
cares and responsibilities and let others
take up and carry on the work that I
have SO well started"

A QUICK SENTENCE.
A New Jersey Judge Marched a Burg
lar to His Trial in Court

New York, Dec. 8.-Ca1mness on the
part Of Miss Sarah Sanford and the
persuasive powers Of a shotgun in the
hands Of her father, Justice of the Peace
Theodore Sanford, ended the career of
a would-be burglar early this morning
at their home in Ralph street, Belleville,
N. J. Miss Sanford was awakened
by unusual noises. She quietly got out
of bed, and, after partly dressing, made
her way to her fathers room, awakened
him with as little noise as possible and
explained matters to him. He listened
and heard the noise and decided, like
his daughter, that a burglar was at
work.
He quietly procured his shotgun and
cautiously crept downstairs and to the
front door. He saw a man prying
away with a cold chisel in an effort to
force open a window. Justice Sanford
covered the working burglar with his
gun and exclaimed: Throw up your
hands or I'll Shoot
The burglar raised his hands as high
above his head as he could. Then he
pleaded not to be shot, and quickly
obeyed orders as Judge Sanford placed
the muzzle of the gun to his back and
commanded:
Now march into the house and to
my office"
This office is used by the judge as
court room. There the fellow was
tried, committed and turned over to a
constable, whom his daughter brought
to the Office

FRANK GOULD OF AGE.
He Comes Into Ten Millions Under
Terms of His Fathers Will

New York, Dec. S.-Frank ]. Gould,
youngest of the children of the late Jay
Gould, celebrated his twenty-frst birth
day yesterday. Under the terms of his
fathers will he is entitled to claim his
share in the estate. amounting to about
$1O,O00,000, but he has no idea Of sepa-
rating his portion from the main estate
and the only change involved in the
young mans arrival at his majority
will be a mere detail of bookkeeping.
Frank Gould lives with his sister
Helen at Irvington. He works dilgent-
ly every day from 10 o'clock in the
morning to in the afternoon at the Of
fees of the Missouri Pacific system, No.
1875 Broadway. Here he is under the
eyes of his brothers, George, Edwin and
Howard.
Frank Gould is slender, but well knit
and bears a striking resemblance to
his father. He is modest and retiring
and very little is known of him by the
general public. He received his educa-
ton at home, at the Berkeley school,
and finally at the university of the city
of New York, of which he is a graduate.
He gave $4,000 worth of instruments to
the engineering department of the uni
versity two years ago.
Frank Gould is very fond of dogs and
has been proposed for mem bership in
the st. Bernard club by @. A. Pratt Of
Little Rock. Some of his dogs are LIE
Prince. by Champion Young Bute-Rus-
tic Beauty; La Prtncesss and Santa
Monica.
lie Prince was valued at $4,000, and
La Princesse at $1,000 at the dog show
in Madison Square Garden.
The young millionaire is also an en-
thusiastic bicyclist. He is better known
in the west, probably, than in New
York, for he has made several trips over
the Missouri Pacific system, while here
he is seen but little. Young Mr.. Gould
will enter the directorate of many Of
the Gould properties in addition to the
Missouri Pacific. He will take a lead
ing part, it is said, in the management
nj 7. r a
said today:
Ct consider Frank a mighty fine boy.
He IS modest and brisk, and in all my
dealings with him I have been pleased
with the manifestations of his charac-
ter He has stuck to business as his
father would have wished him to do.
and he promises very well, indeed
Miss Helen Gould is in Albany at
tending the trial Of Mrs. Cody, but she
telegraphed her congratulations and
sent to her brother an appropriate
birthday gift. The baby" of the fam
lily also was remembered by his broth
ers and by the Countess de Castellane.

ONE OF jim LANES MEN.
Secures a Valuable Painting From a
Mexican Cathedral

Lawrenceburg, Ind, Dec. 8.-During the
war with Mexico Captain James H. Lane,
afterward United States senator from
Kansas, raised a company of soldiers from
this county. One Of his volunteers was
Daniel WOelker who, when the City Of
Mexico was captured by the American
army. cut from Its frame a large oil paint
ing of three angels that had been remov-
ed from the walls Of the great cathedral
in the City of Mexico and brought 1t home
with him as a souvenir of the surrender
of the city in 1876
The magnificent picture had occupied a
and, while regarded the work of a
master artist its history became lost when
conf1scatiOn changed its ownership. Some
years afterward a gentleman from Louis
Vile, Ky, recognizing its value as treas
ure of art, offered its owner SIS for the
trophy, and it quickly passed into his
possession. Subsequently the purchaser
presented it to the Catholic church at Ce-
1estine, Dubois county, this state, and in
that sacred edifice 1t has hung unmOlest-
ed for more than a quarter of a century.
But recently its location came to the at

offered 5000 for it,and on being refused
informed that nothing less than $4,000
would buy it.
Since the attempt to purchase the now
greatly priced painting it is being guard
ed with Jealous care by its custodians, and
effort is being made to get further in
formation, if possible, of its former Mexi-
can history,
