ROUGH RIDER sosses A STAGE.
Forces Military s~choolboys to Give Up
Their Seats to Women.


Their Seats to Women.
A rough rider held up a Fifth ave
nue. stage Wednesday morning and
ran it to suit himself. Between $50
and 9 o'clock the stages are always
full of school girls and boys. maids
and teachers, and the children all be-
long to the immaculate and artstocrat-
ic set. who patronize Fifth avenue
private schools. On Wednesday morn
ing the pouring rain made the stages
more crowded than usual. The rough
rider boarded one down town n soon
gave his seat to a French maid. There
were rows of clean-faced. trim little
boys occupying seats n standing.
and the tall soldier looked down at
them occasionally with q queer smile.
More boys crowded in at each street
and the rough rider was damned and
jostled. He took 1t good naturedly.
but said, with a Western drawl, to the
only other nan in the stage:
This il New York. is it,"
III man smiled and shrugged his
shoulders.
well. the stages are roomier out
our way" commented the rough rid
err. Their he stared out through the
window at the drivers glistening wa
terproof back. The stage stopped at
Thirtieth street n a young woman
got in. There was hardly room for
her to stand. but she wun herself
on a strap and leaned forward. across
several small boys. to the rough rid
er. whose back was turned toward
her.
May I trouble you to put my fare
In IN box?' she asked. The soldier
came out of his trance and whirled
around. Certainly. miss, III he
began. Then a wrinkle came between
his eyes and his expression OF surprise
turning to frowning wrath as he star
ed IT the rows Of neat little boys sit
ting on each side of the stage and talk
ing about football. The rough rider
leaned toward the exquisite little fel-
low nearest the standing lady.
Get up and give the lady a seat,
young un," he said. The boy didn't
stir.
Get up. I say" repeated the rough
rider, with a ring OF impatience In his
voice. A ush settled down upon the
crowd. The boys eyes grew bigger,
but he didn't move.
s'Oh. never mind" said the girl has
tily. The rough reached a long arm
| across the boys between him and the
| boy to whom he had spoken. seized
| the latter by h collar. lifted him
| lightly into the air. and dropped him
into the aisle.
Take that seal, miss"
The young woman dropped into the
seat. The little girls giggled. the lit
tie boys stared at the soldier in an
awestruck way. and he resumed his
| contemplation of the drivers back.
| Another stop: another young woman.

boy.

Sonny arose with alacrity. n the

youngster who had required forciblt

asked.

way, and evidently didn't understand

little boys are all afflicted the same
way"
All the culprits listened and stared.
Most OF you in military school?"
continued the rough rider, looking at
the cap and uniforms worn by almost
all of the younsters. We'll. you'll
make blooming soldiers IL you keep
on as you've started out. You'd bet
ter take to bookkeeping. You could
sit down all day at that"
Just then some girls left the stage.
Every one looked at the rough rider.
but he made no move toward sitting
down.
PLENTY OF room for you now. boys"
he said good naturally, pointing tn
the vacant seats. The boys slipped
into them without a word, and no n
said anything until after the stage
stopped at Forty-second street. and
the rough rider climbed out. As he
went through the door he turned to
the boys. whose eyes still looked pre-
ternaturally big.
i've lived where they'd shoot a man
that refused TO get up and give a lady
a seat" he said. But this is New
York"
For a homer after he disappeared
there was a hush. Then a babble of
tongues began. The voice of the

others.

CHANCES MAY DECIDE.
A story That Gen. Merritt Has
Taken Manila

The bloodshed at Malate encouraged the
hope that before the message OF peace
could reach Manila, Cen Merritt would
have stormed the capital and effected its
capture. Those who have prayed for
this, were more than willing Spain should
daily over the preliminaries and they de-
plored the need OF forcing her to respond
AT once. Thus speaks the New York
Commercial Advertiser. which has a
natural dread of the operations of the
peace commissioners:
'aTha situation in Manila is confusing.
but there are large possibilities of good
fortune for the United States init That
which men call chance has been the most
potent factor in this war so far. Our de-
sign was TO throw an army into Cuba and
fight it on land. Destiny has given
complete victory al sea and saved much
larger force the fate from which the
troops at Santiago are fleeing Our de-
sign was 10 limit the war TO this hemi-
sphere. except so far as naval operations
in the Pacific were needful TO prOcect
our commerce. Chance and Dewey gave
Us command of the harbOr OF Manila

war with the question of possession OF

through Dewey and Merritt while the
SpaniardS higgled over peace proposals.
The latest advices from Manila are
nearly a week Old, and these related for
the most part TO fighting nearly a week
earlier. reports OF which are sadly con-
fused. Gen. Merritts report indicated
only a sOrtie and repulse. but other dis
patches pointed 10 a more general move
