Settles the Controversy.


Ex-Governor Proctor Knott and a
distinguished professional gentleman
of Danville were discussing the claims
Of Sampson and Schley to the credit Of
smashing Cervera at Santiago. The
professional gentleman took the ground
that all the honor of that memorable
conflict belonged to Admiral Sampson,
and was inclined to ignore entirely
Commodore Scbley's part in the affair
The Governor listened until his COM
panion had finished, and then with
that characteristic twinkle in his eye
said
"My dear sir, it is exceedingly graf
flying to me to have you take the po-
sition you have in this matter. 1t is
like balm to ny conscience and set
ties a point that has worried me many
day.
81 was walking through the woods
with 4 boy friend Of mine when we saw
a rabbit run into a sinkhole. We
stood around the hole awhile then ]
told the boy to keep watch.wbile |
went to get some fire to smoke the
rabbit out. When l returned the boy
had the rabbit. | promptly took IT
away from him, claiming that it be-
longed to me, because had told him
to catch him if he came out.
"That was over 80 years ago, and
you are the first man who has ever
agreed with me that the rabbit was
mine. l feel now that l was right in
taking it and my conscience is at rest.
The gentleman looked solemn for
few moments, then smiled a feeble
smile and changed the subject.-LOu-

from Chickamauga Creek, and the wa
ter was said to be responsible for the
spread of the disease. But one COM
pany did not get its water from Chick
amauga Greek and never had got It's
water from that source, yet many Of
its members were Ill with typhoid fe-
yer.
The commission found that flies, as
was naturally the case, were present in
the camp by the millions. 1t was the
same way in every camp, their num-
bers being equalled only by those OF
the flies which infested Egypt during
Pharaoh's pIeagues. The surgeons
looked into the matter further and
found that the flies fed off the focal
matter from the hospitals, and then a.
meal time shared the hardtack and
bacon of the soldiers. In the first in
stance the fly picked up on his SIX
hairy little feet in6nitesimal particles
containing the germs Oftyphoid fever
and as he merely promenaded over the
hardtack and bacon he deposited them
there. One fly could do little harm,
but millions of them conveyed a suth-
cient quantity OF germs to inOculate
large numbers of the soldiers. The
incubation was slow but sure.
The commission found that IN all
the camps typhoid did not appear IN
isolated cases, but that whole messes,
and in some cases whole tents Of SOL
diers, went down with the disease at
the same time, showing conclusIvely
that the fault lay with'the food, At
jacksonville the commission found
that there was little typhoid fever,
owing to the fact that the sinks We're
connected with the sewers and fre-
quently flushed. At Fernandina, the
fly again got in his work, From the
street he few to the mess tables Of the
men in the tents, and as result 90
per cent of the men on the north side
of the street were taken i'll with ty-
phoid fever
He invaded the sleeping quarters Of
the men and exuded tiny bits Of fpcal
matter on their clothes and on their
bedding, on their tent flaps, and, in
fact, everywhere, so that the very air
itself was filled with germs of fever.
Consequently the commission will rec
ommend in its report that all the
clothing and the bedding of soldiers
in these tents shall be either destroyed
or thoroughly disinfected.

This Adam Wanted His Eve.

The Kennebec Journal says that a
young man was recently taken to a
Lewiston Hospital and suffered the
removal of a rib. When he came to
himself he was told what had been
done and seemed satisfied. Shortly
after he dropped into a semi-uncOn-
scious state, and kept calling for "the
woman"
For two days he was deliriOus. and
frequently called for "the woman. "
"I want to see the woman" he. kept
saying. At last the nurse in despera-
ton said, "Well I'm the woman !"
The man looked at her critically from
top to toe, and said: "Who would
have thought that they could have
made such a pretty girl of one of my
ribs" And then he settled down on
his pillow, and when he awOke again
he was in his right mind and was bet
ter.

woman will continue to rise until she
has reached the zenith of her power,
when she shall mark out the pathway Of
this nation. Her future is as bright as
the gem that adorns her soul with vir-
tue and refinement, and as glorious as
that reward which awaits her purity,
her nobility, and her sacred devotion to
Justice.
The day of her advent, as the years go
bv. shall be celebrated with thanks
giving and praise; the course OF her ca
reer shall mark the brightest pages Of
the nations history, the power Of her
hand and voice shall awaken the dead
consciousness of man, while the infu-

shall purify the atmosphere on our So

To the victor belongs the spols. Like
the women of old, this Queen is sover-

royal attendants. are endowed Of their
rank by no mans hand
Today they went forth upon ambling
palfreys, with humble domestic imple-
ments in their hands, and won for hem
selves the honors they now bsstow as
they elevate you, the men they have
chosen, to regal rank with themselves.
That you are chosen by this queenly
queen, and you by ladies as fair as these,
is indeed a distinction and an honor.
Though to be won by spooning such as
this has been, may be to you novelty
and a surprise, you must remember that

results far more startling and uneXpect-

So. sir, wear your crown and you sirS'

not sheepishly but happily. aye proud
". for true valor and true manhood ever
receive the sweetest reward from wo-
men such as these who have chosen you.
And, if you derive as much pleasure
from being crowned as We do from
crowning you, you are three times hap

''Now let the dancing begin
You, sirs, Of the set step in.
The Queen and her King at the head.
Her ladies to their places by royalty led:
While outside We common folks pleasure
Will be to watch your stately measure,

That we. too, had been queens and kings
Alas so close is I will to 1 beg
But for the premature breaking Of an egg
Let the music and dancing begin!

quarter Of an hour later he returned
and producing screw Of paper, be
said, ooh, yes, here's that mustard.
where did you get it?" said the
others in chorus.
"Up at the surgeons. The mex call,

Mortis Dignitas.

Here lies a common man. His horny hands,
Crossed meekly as maids upon his breast.
Show marks of toll, and by his general dress
You judge him 10 have been artisan.
Doubtless, could all his life be written out.
The story would no, thrill nor start tear;
He worked. laughed loved. and suffered in his time
And now rests peacefully. with upturned face
Whose look bellies all struggle in the past.
homely tale: yet, trust me, have seen
The greatest Of the earth go stately by.
While shouting multtudes beset the way,
With less of awe. The gap between a king
And me. a nameless gazer in the crowd,
Seemed not so wide as that which stretches now
Belwixt us two this dead one and myself.
Untitled, dumb. and deedess. yet he is
Transfgured by a touch from out the skies
Until he'wears, with all-unconscious grace.
The strange ard sudden Dignity of Death
