Suicide is the supreme act Of the
gutter. 1t is seldom good thing
except in the taking off of superfluous
member of society whose possibilities
have been exhausted by the dramatist
or the novelist. All the world admires
a game man and so do the angels. The
hysteria which turns the hand of a
man upon himself is not philosophy,
but spite and petulance Even the man
who devotes himself 20 frivolity is a.
more impressive character than the
gutter.

mand of the right wing. Never was more
or greater personal bravery shown than
these officers displayed. Gen. Bacon, with
a gun in his hand, seemed to be every
where at once. Now he was calling out
to the soldiers to steady and encourage
them and again he was lying down shoot
ing carefully at the ftful puffs Of smoke
in the woods, practically the only sign of
the enemy. h
STEADY boys, steady his calm, cheer
full voice rang out, $"be careful and don't
waste your ammunition The men re-
sponded with a cheer and taking courage
resolved themselves into machines whose
only business seemed to be pumping the
lever and pulling the trigger Of their
-Jorgensons.
But above all other cries and even the
| noise of the battle could be heard the
voice of Maj. Wilkinson as he walked up
! and down and around his line, crying at
the top of his voice:
'Give it to them, boys; give EN- hell!
We've got 'em licked! Give 'em hell!
Early in the fight a ball grazed the
| majors right arm, making a slight flesh
| wound, but he paid no attention to the
injury. a few minutes later another bull
let hit the majors left leg just above the
ls1eft knee. He fell to the ground and
called to his lieutenant:
I'm hit, Ross, but not badly. Keep
| 'em at it, a hospital steward dragged
the wounded officer around the corner Of
the house and applied a tourquinette to
the wounded leg to stop the bleeding.
The major sat propped up sagainst the
corner of the house for an instant, but
he could not stand it long and was soon
1 back in the thick Of the fight, cheering
4 and directing his men.
. Maj. Wilkinson's Death.
A few minutes later another ball struck
! the officer on the right side and passing
completely through his abdomen emerged
on the left side. The major fell to the
ground instantly and the surgeon, who
was at his side almost as he fell did not
need to tell him that the wound was fatal.
Gen. Bacon rushed to where the dying
/ officer lay. 88
Give EN- hell, general. give ',em hell!''
said the dying officer. They were his last
words. In a few moments his life had
] passed away. A brave officer had given
I! his life that the authority Of the govern
nnent might be preserved and that an old
! Indian might be punished for refusing to
q tell who sold him whisky.

about half an hour. was over. there was

Sporting Note..

: .
John White, the crack English feath-
erweight, added another victory to his
fast-increasing string by, knocking out
Dick Higgins Of Birmingham, at the
olympic Athletic club of that. city in
four rounds recently. The pair were
to have boxed eight rounds. s.
Matty Matthews has been matched
to box Mysterious Billy Smith at the
Empire Athletic club Of Syracuse, for
a guarantee of $1,000, with the option
Of 60 per cent Of the gross receipts, on
date to be named by the club before
the end of October. The weight is 142
pounds. :. F2.E
It is announced that Dick Burge will
sail from England for this country
next week, to take a try out Of La
vigne, and then any other lightweight
who is willing to go the distance with
him. Burge picked up $1,000 expense
money by whipping Arthur Akers, a
1OO-pounder, in 1 minute and As sec
onds. Akers is the middleweight who
knocked out Paddy Purtell when he
visited England a year or two ago.
Sporting men who claim to know say
Lavigne didn't whip Erne at Coney Isl
and the other night, because the kid is
waiting for a killing. In another
match they say Lavigne will let him
self out, and take all the money re-
sulting from the big odds on the Buff
falo boxer. Buffalo men who saw the
fight are Of opinion that Lavigne has
nothing up his sleeve for the Buffalo
lightweight. 2
