Sand in War.

Admiral Irwin, in the course Of his
testimony before the Senate Foreign
Affairs Committee, was asked what he
thought of the defenses Of Porto Rico.
He said that the Notifications Of San
Juan were magnificent pieces Of ma
sonry,' impregnable in their day, but
now "of no more value than wooden
fence" against the IL or 13-inch guns
of the Indiana The admiral quoted
the opinion Of Gen Gilmore, after an
extensive experience, that sand is the
only ma erial tina can stand the ter
rife pounding of modern guns. Gen.
Gilmore said that if he were ord red
to build a fort 200 miles from the
nearest sand he would Lave it hauled
to the spot in wagons, if necessary.

the ravagcs of the day, and it is not

A Shabby Record.

Not since the battle of Lepanto in
1911 has Spain given a good account
of herself in naval warfare. In that
battle Spain, with the aid of the
Genoese and Venetian fleets admin
istered such crushing defeat to
Turkey that it destroyed the power of
the sultan on the seas for all time to
come. This was the last of Spain S
naval victories. Seventeen years later
she sent her boasted Invincible
Armada, the greatest collection Of
warships ever seen against England.
What the storm off the English coast
left Of this splendid aotilla Francis
Drake, the dragon of the sea, dis
posed Of.
In 1904 Spain lost Gibraltar and
England has held it ever since. Three
months after its capture the allied
forces Of Spain and France tried to
retake the fortress and lost 10000
men in the endeavor The effort was
repeated by Spain alone in 1920 and
again in 1927, both times with disas-
trous results.
France came to the help of Spain
again in 1873 but the English beat
them back from Gibraltar with heavy
losses.
In 1871 Spain once more attacked
Gibraltar and suffered the loss of 49,
900 men. France again aided her in
1882, but the allies were utterly de-
feated.
Spain since that time has given up
hope Of recapturing Gibraltar.
On July 81, 1718, Spain lost to
England twenty-nine battleships at
Messina. In 1880 Rodney admins
tered severe defeat to the Spanish
feet off Cape Vincent, where her war
ships were recently gathered.
A far worse thrashing was given her
by that greatest of all sea.fghters,
Horatio Nelson, at Trafalgar, where
with far inferior feet he almost
annihilated the combined naval
strength Of France and Spain.
Spain 8 latest naval defeat before
the battle of Manila was in 1866 when
Peru, with few ships, most of them
borrowed from Chill, utterly defeated
a stronger Spanish feet. Admiral
Peieja, the Spanish commander, was
so mortified at the result that he re-
tired to his cabin and blew out his
brains.
Commodore Dewey and his gallant
men have added another to the long
unbroken and dismal list of Spanish
defeats at sea. Admiral Sampson will
soon add another.--Atlunta Journal.

A Funny Burglar Story.

An elderly woman and her daughter,
living on Walnut street, have been
spending the last few days in recupe-
rating from nervous shock they
recently received, each blaming the
other as the cause Of the trouble.
The elder woman is slightly deaf,
and lives in constant dread of bur-
glars, and to additionally fortify her
room at night she has taken to stand
ing stick between the lower sash of
her window and the casing above, so
it cannot be opened. The other night
she was awakened by hearing a racket
in her room, and finally, mastering up
enough courage to look around, she
discovered that her stick had fallen
from the window to the floor, behind
the sewing machine. She arose, went
to the machine and leaned over it to
reach the stick.
In the meantime the daughter had
been awakened by the same noise,
and, fearing that burglar had entered
her mother room and would frighten
her to death, she hurried to investi-
gate. Reaching the door, she SAY to
her horror, that her mother was lying,
head down, over the machine, evident
ly dead or unconscious. Though the
daughter is small and frail, she deci-
ded to carry her to the bed and hurry
for help. Running over, she clasped
the supposedly unconscious body
around the waist. Immediately the
mother gave forth such succession
Of od-curdling shrieks as might
have been heard for squares, as she
struggled in the grasp Of the long
expected burglar; but the daughter,
certain that her mother had gone mad
with fright, held on for dear life, and
the two struggled and swayed till
finally they both fell exhausted on the
bed. Then they realized the true
situation, and they We been blaming

SHAME And DISGRACE.
OF CHICKAMAUGA HOS
PTTAL UNEARTHED.
Hundreds of Helpless Sick Men Die
of Criminal Negligence. In
YestigatiOn Needed.

A press dispatch from Camp Thomas
ChiCkamauga Park, Ga, says
The horrors OF the Chickamauga hos
pitfalls grow General Breckenridge In
sists u pom a congressional investigation,
which will reveal one of the greatest
scandals in the history of the army.
When an official investigation shall
have been made of the causes leading up
to the sickness and death of so many
soldiers Of the volunteer army at Chick
amauga Park it will reveal a degree of
negligence and ignorance on the part of
officers and surgeons that is hardly to
be credited as having occurred in the
United States of America during the
close of the nineteenth century.
Men with raging fevers we're sent to
these places and compelled in many
cases to lie on the ground on blankets,
while the rain beat through the poorly
protected tents.
There were few surgeons and fewer
nurses, and the poor fellow who became
sick was in the main left to his own care
with only an occasional visit from the
surgeon. There was little ice to be had
and ice baths were of rare occurrence.
In one division hospital for several
weeks there were only two temperature
thermometers. The sick were allowed
to lie in unprotected tents for hours I'M
til physicians could have an opportunity
to examine them and decide whether
they ought to be admitted to hospitals
or not, and in some cases men with fever
were compelled to wait for "A hours
after "giYing up" as they called 1t and
they were always kept going as long as
they could before receiving attention,
A few days ago the body of a soldier
who died of meningitis was taken to
Chattanooga. When the body was un-
covered it was found that the mans
skull had been lifted and his brain had
been taken out and replaced with a
handful of hay. His intestines had also
been removed and the stomach filed
with hay. This autopsy was performed
without the consent of the mans people.
About 200 OF the 600 soldiers who have
died here since the camp was established
May 10, 1898, sleep in the national
cemetery near Chattanooga.
Most of them we're buried in cheap
pine boxes furnished by the government.
Some were hauled to the cemetery in
heares, but greater number we're
hauled in the army wagons. In num-
Der of cases the chaplains did not accom-
pany the bodies. Many were buried
without any religious service whatever.
One reg ment started off and took it's
sick to the depot at Lytle. The regi-
mental surgeon promised 20 have a train
go out to take them away. The regi.
ment got off, the train was forgotten or
neglected, and the men-about 100 in
number-laid all night without cover or
shelter on the depot platform. They
were too sick to move.

Ihn Word Wife

What do you think the beautiful word
"wife," cones from? 1t is the great
word in which the English and Latin
languages conquer the French and
Greek. l hope the French will some day
get word for 1t instead of their femme.
But what do you think 1t comes from,
The great value of the Saxon word is
that it means something. Wife means
weaver. You must be either house
wives or housemoths, tremelnber that?
In the deeper sense, you must either
weave mems fortunes and embroider
them, or feed upon them and bring them
to decay. Wherever a true wife comes,
home is always around her. The stars
may be overhead, the glow-worm in the
nights cold grass may be the fire at her
feet; but home is where she is, and for
noble woman it stretches far around her
better than houses ceiled with cedar or
painted with vermillion, shedding its
quiet light for those who are homeless
This, believe, is the woman's true
place and wer,-Selected.

Mrs. Bridges had been confined in the
asylum since the latter part of 1895 until
little over thirty days ago, when she
was returned home as being cured. or at
least harmless. Her mind became
impaired again and she was considered
dangerous. She was returned to the
asylum by the ordinary under her origi.
nal commitment, as provided for 10y the
law.
In difficulty last Tuesday between
Charles Smell and Sam Causey, two ne
gr0es living on Hon. T. G. Sutton's
place, the former lost his life. 1t seems
that the two had been quarreling about
picking cotton, and Smell having
whipped Causey time or two before
he went to his house and brought his
shot gun to the field. Smell became
further incensed at this, and when lie
again started toward Causey in a threat
ening manner he (Causey) fired a load of
shot into his body that produced death.
Causey was carried to Fit. Gaines and
