when the Cross of the Legion OF Honor

exploits of a young girl, Virginia

enlisting In the place of her Invalid
brother, distinguished herself on the bat
tlefield he was induced to revoke his de-
cision. and since that time women as
well as men in France have aspired TO
this badge Of honor.
One of the most interesting stories to
Americans, however, in connection with
the Legion of Honor is its having been
conferred upon a little ten-year-old Amer
lean girl in 1893. the year of the Worlds
Fair. The child, Jennie Carey, OF Muck
ford, III. noticed one day while walking
along the country road that a railroad
bridge was on fire, and that a passenger
train was rapidly approaching. Dofting
her little red cap for a signal, h rushed
forward just in time to save the train. II
was ful Of passengers, bound for the chi
cago Exposition, and among them We're
several French people. Their gratitude
ana enthusiasm were ~unbounded. and not
long afterward Jennie was decorated
with the cross of the Legion of Honor by
order of President Carnot.

The Third New Jersey Volunteer Regi-
ment started from Pompton Plains, to-
day, for Athens, Ga. When the news
reached the men last night thai they

appointed, for they thought that as the
regiment did not depart yesterday, the
time first selected, it was the intention
of the War Department to muster out
the command. The last night near the
powder works in Pompton was a dis
agreeable one, as the rain came down
in torrents and formed pools outside the
lines. The command, numbering 1900
men, came to Jersey City over the
Greenwood Lake Railroad, and the trans
were switched to the Pennsylvani&
tracks. The run South VIII be over the

Everywhere he went the same

sat cool and smiling all the

WE HAVE FRIENDS.

Great Britain, because of the
close affiliation of her people
and the people of the United
States, and for selfish reasons,
is our friend in case of war with
Spain. Russia has always been
the friend of the United States.
and there is nothing to indicate
that she will favor Spain in the
event of trouble. So far as Ger
many is concerned, she has an
nounced her intention to pre-
serve an attitude of strict neu-
trality. France and Austria
will give their moral support
but will not assist Spain. and

the responsibility on the Wey-

whom he called irresponsible
and dangerous. He said he be.
lieved Blanco knew nothing OF

Lee said he believed congress
should not recognize the indie

war and give the Cubans free
dom should be passed.

General Miles and all the
army officers at the department
consider that the Spanish over
lures of the last few days have
not in any way changed the
outcome of the situation. They
regard the situation as serious
in the extreme and that war Is
imminent. For this reason they
strenuously advocate the con-
centration aud organization of
he troops on a war basis at the
earliest possible moment.
General Miles does not advo-
cate the calling out Of the Ma
