A Disastrous Ending.

Two Detroit merchants were sitting
on adjacent stools and taking Is cent
lunch, when one asked the other If he
consulted his.wife in his business affairs
Cant do il, was the response.
"I'ye tried it a dozen times a month for
years, but it always winds up just
about as it did yesterday. I asked her
if she thought she could discuss little
matter of business calmly and dispas'
sionately. She said she could, but had
never known me to be able to do so, l
complinented her sarcastically on her
angelic temper, and she at once ac-
cused me of being angry. I told her
that I was regarded among men as hav-
ing a very equable disposition and that
nv employees called me Old Suavity
She called attention to the fact that
her pet dog, that weighs about a pound,
was called Danger. Then I told her
straight from the shoulder that l de-
clined 70 be made angry by her taunts
and odious comparisons, but served

She laughed cheerily and declared that
I was entirely too toucby.

men. Shortly the regulars could be seen
ascending the difficult hill. General
Wheeler intimated to Young that he
was overmatched. His three troops Of
the Tenth cavalry were close up in sup
port of the First. There was only one
troop held in reserve. General Young
called Wheeler's attention to the firing
on Woods line, which indicated that
Wood was advancing as fast as the reg
ulars. General Young said to Wheeler
that be had the utmost confidence III

the First was off on the extreme right

ROSARY BEADS.
Fkey Were In Use Among the Ein2co5
Before the Era of Buddha.

Fkey Were In Use Among the Eirl9co5
Before the Era of Buddha.
The prevailing idea in regard to g
rosary is that it belongs solely to follow
ers Of the Catholic religion. But take
away the cross that is hanging to the
beads and we find that one must turn to
the dim, mysterious east for tbs origin
of the rosary, for it is among the TEN,
pies Of India, China and Japan that the
first sign of the practice is to be found.
Ancient pictures of the Hindoo gods de-
pict them with chaplets of beads In
their hands, and it is believed that 5his
method of keeping count of their many
prayers was in use among the Hindoos
before the era of Buddha, or at Least B.
G. 500.
The use of the rosary seems especial
ly suited to an eastern cline and to the
repose of an oriental mind. The Bud
dhists are fond of using very smooth
beads of glass, polished jade Or coral,
and it has been thought that the smooth,
cool beads gliding through their fingers
as they murmur the holy name for thou
sands Of times help them to arrive at
that state Of holy abstraction from
earthly things which is SO much priced
among the followers Of Buddha.
The favorite japanese rosaries are
made of polished wood, crystal, onyx
and chased silver, and the japanese
Buddhists repeat in endless devotion
"Namu Amida Butzu" C"Save Us,
Buddha''), while their Chinese brothers
have the blessed name "O-Mi-to-fu"
forever on their lips. A rosary Of very
great size was recently brought from
temple in Kioto, Japan The largest
bead is about SIX inches in diameter, and
the rosary entire is about "a feet long.
The huge beads are Of dark brown pol
ished wood. They are hollow and have
each figure OF a god inside the little
shrine, which can be seen through a
lattice of brass work.-Cincinnati En-

FALSIFIED HER AGE.
A Court Trial That Disclosed Queer
Phase of Russian Society.


Phase of Russian Society.
Even in Russia, it seems, despctism
does not 60 the length Of forcing
woman to tell her age or of Furnishing
her for stating it inaccurately. A GER
tain Princess Eugalytchef was recently
tried at Moscow and sentenced to life
long internment in the province Of Olo-
metz for embezzling 140, rubles.
After the proceeding in court had come
to an end and after the noble lady had
retired to the country for her somewhat
prolonged rest from urban gayeties and
temptations too careful official dlscoy-
cred that among the papers in the case
was the princess certificate OF baptism,
and that she had changed the date OF it
from 1S47 to 1867 Instantly this grave
crime was brought to the notice OF the
authorities, and the convicted ecbezzler
was summoned to meet the charge OF
falsifying an official document. Then
curious fact was disclosed, and sur
prising amount of light was thrown On
Russian society
The Prince Eugalytcheff, who was
cited as witness by the prosecutor,
said that whether his bride was 20 years
older or younger than her certified age
was a matter Of absolute indifference to
him. All >ould say was that he re-
ceived the sam of 5000 rubles for CIV
ing the lady his name, that immediate
ly after the marriage ceremony he pro-
cured for her separate passport, and
that since then he has known nothing
more of his wife or her private affairs
The jury gallantly declined to convict
the accused princess on the "trivial
charge about a woman S age, and she
was sent back to her provincial exile.
Princes evidently come cheap In
Russia, and this is perhaps the most IN
teresting bit of news in the whole story

reports Of General Young's aids that
the Spanish fanks were turned simul-
taneously, and the Spaniards retreated
in a rout. Captain Beck and Captain
Galbraith's regular troops formed
junction with Wood, and then the line
of battle was continuous from end to
end, from wainwright on the extreme
right to the left of the rough riders.
The fight lasted about hour and 20
minutes from the time the Hotchklss
gun first opened until tie Spanish tanks
were turned. There was some firing for
20 minutes more, bat it all ended at
9:45 a. N. General Young sent orders
up the line not to follow the Spaniards.
The day was very hot His men were
very tired and we1e wet through from
heavy rain that had falleE the enight be-
fore. The line was rearranged in the ex-
pectation Of a counter attack.
The Spanish largely outnumbered the
Americans at Las Guasimas. Their pa
pers boasted that $500 Of their men
had checked the whole American army.
Cubans asserted that the Spaniards
numbered 5000 that day. Other esti-
mates placed it at $500 Young's total
force was 965.
After the battle General Young ad-
mitted to Wheeler that he (Young) had
made one mistake after all. He said
that that was in the matter of deploy-
ment as his column advanced. One troop
had diverged to the left instead of go
ing in direct. General Wheeler replied:
"I have watched the game from start to
finish, and il. I had it to do over would
not change one iota of your plan. 1 nev-
er witnessed a battle that was carried
out so entirely without change Of plan.
The only interference on the part OF
General Wheeler was to urge General
Young personally TO keep under cover
General Young is giant in stature
His exposure that day, noticed and com
msnted on by all, was not done fer
bravado. He did it to set an example to
officers and men who had never been
under fire before He thought that if
they saw their general taking the usual
risks it would have a good effect.
General Young said to Wheeler that
he had throughout the utmost confidence,
of success, adding: General, if I had
lost this battle and still lived, you
would have my resignation. My object
Of fighting this battle was to get Las
Guasimas for the army's camp.
The total loss in General Young's
command was IS killed and wounded.
The strength of the squadron Of rough
riders was about equal to the strength
Of the squa'1rons Of the First and Tenth
cavalry present. The rough riders lost
eight killed and the regulars eight. In
the regulars Major Bell and Captain
Birom were wounded. Seven out Of the
eight killed in the regulars belonged to

GEN. YOUNG, Q. 8. Y.

vance, Major Bell GEN, YOUNG o. 3 v
was shot through both shin bones. On
an average the men in the regulars
column fired little short of ten rounds
each. This was due to the fire dis
cipline. In the fire discipline men
are taught when to fire, to fire at
the enemy only, under certain circuln-
stances, and the number Of rounds to
fire for given purpose. Unlimited fir
ing is permitted only at the supreme
moment. Seldom is there firing at will.
The story Of the ambush Of the rough
riders was started by an adjutant Of the
regiment, who lost his head during or
before the battle and rushed back to
Siboney, where he spread fearful tales
Of ambush and slaughter, stating that
Colonel Wood had been killed This
man had formerly been regular officer
and was soon disposed of after the bat
tie. In point Of fact, as soon as Colonel
Wood reached the top Of the bill over
which the trail ran he threw out an
advance guard and took every precau-
tion against surprise. Owing to the
dense bush, accommodating was diff
cult. At 7:10 a. m. his advance pickets
saw signs Of the enemy. The line was
then deployed in skirmish order and
began to advance carefully.
Firing began Immediately. The Span
ish line was long. Wood deployed an
other troop on the right and left to ex-
tend his line. Still the Spanish over
Tapped both hanks, Two more troops
were deoloyed on the fanks. Firing
was heavy at short range, and on Cap
ain Capron's front was terrific. Capron
was mortally wounded. Finally Wood
brought up his last reserved troop.
The whole line advanced slowly, but
steadily, forcing back the enemy's
right. The Spaniards were driven
from their strong position among the
rocks. They took position 800 yards
in the rear. Woods line advanced,
and the battle again became heavy.
For short time the Spaniards north
of the road, in front of the regu-
lars, enliladed Woods line. The right
troops Of Woods line turned their fire
against them. This spirited assault Of
the regulars in front caused the evacua-
ton Of the north end Of the ridge. The
junction of che rough riders and the
regulars was then complete. and it was
running fight until the Spaniards
were beyond range
Major Brodie of the rough riders was
shot through the arm while on the fir
ing line Captain McClintock had both
bones of his leg broken on the firing
line. Lieutenant Thomas of Captain
Capron S troop was shot soon after the
fall Of the captain.
General Young. the director Of this
dashing affair, is a veteran of the civil
war. At one time he commanded a
brigade of dismounted cavalry i'll the
Shenandoah valley. General Escario
commanded the Spaniards at Las Quasi
mas. GEORGE l.. hILMER

where he could point out to them the
Spanish line, the main road leading to
it, the general direction of the trail over
the high hill and approximately the
junction of the road and trail which
was to be the junction of the rough
riders and the regulars column at the
supreme moment of battle.
AS the rough riders had difficult
hill to climb, General Young gave them
more time than he did the regulars.
The squadron of the First regulars, un-
der Major Bell, had the advance, that
of the Tenth, Major Norvell, moving in
support. Captain Galbraith's troop Of
the First was to occupy the high ground
between the regulars and rough riders
and make connection between the two
columns at the same time.
While waiting 20 minutes for the
rough riders to gain time, General Young
placed two Hotchkiss guns in sight OF
the Spaniards to draw their fire. Mean
while General Wheeler reached the
front, andg General Young asked if he
had any changes to suggest or orders to
give. He called attention to General
Young's violation of rules In dividing
forces in the face Of the enemy. General
Young said that he had thought of that,
but in view Of the situation assumed
the risk. eneral Wheeler had nothing
further to say. Then the Hotchkiss guns
under Captain Watson opened fire, one
at !, 900 yards and one at 900. Finally
the range was calculated at $50. The
squadron Of the First Immediately ad.
vanced, but the troops couldn't keep
touch owing to the dense chaparral. In
order to reach a ground where they
could advance in line it was necessary
to get within 500 or 600 yards in front
of the Spaniards on a plain under view
of the enemy.
The first she'll Of the Hotchkiss gun
was answered by volley from the
Spanish. Having fought the Cubans on
that ground, they had perfected their
range. A few moments after the firing
began General Young heard firing away
off to his left, and seeing that the ad-
yancing regulars didn't answer it he
concluded that it was directed against
| Woods column, that Wood was up and
engaged.
General Wheeler became uneasy when
he saw that the advancing regulars did
| not return the Spaniards' fire. Young
told him that their silence was due to
fire discipline The regulars were not to
pure, but to advance and secure cover.
| The Spanish FIRE became so hot Young
ordered the Hotchkiss guns under cover
| This had the effect of stopping the Span
| ish fire In few minutes the Hotchkiss
guns opened again. Captain Mills re-
turned from the chaparral in front and
reported to Young that the regulars
were advancing and getting cover. Ma
| 10. Bell, leader of the squadron OF the
First, in advance, was instructed to
push forward and get nnder the cover
of the hill occupied by the Spanish, a
point 800 or 400 yards on their front.
The regulars had to crawl through
the undergrowth and to cutwire fences.
They had wire nippers, one to every i've
