Chickamauga, July 31.-A genuine
surprise was sprung at Camp Thomas
this afternoon. Instead of further
troops being ordered out, as might
have been expected, Major General
James f. Wade, commanding the army
at Camp Thomas. was ordered to re-
port forthwith to secretary of war at
Washington.
In compliance with the order Gener-
al Wade and the members of his stan
proceeded Immediately to Chattan-
ooga and left thence at 10 o'clock to-
night for Washington.
1t was announced tonight by one of
General Wnde's staff, just before
boarding the train for Washington,
that General ]. s. c. Breckenridge had
been assigned to the command of the
army at Camp Thomas and would
probably arrive Tuesday of Wednes-
day.

VALUE OF SENSE OF HumoR.
Labouchere Considers 1t tho Most
Precious of Gifts.


From the London Truth: / regard a
sense of humor as one of the mos
precious gifts that can be vouchsafed
to human being He is not neces-
sarily a better man for having it, bu;
he is happier one. 1t renders him
Indifferent to good or bad fortune. 1t
enables him to enjoy his own discom-
future. Blessed with this sense, he is
never unduly elated or cast down. No
one can rufile his temper. No abuse
disturbs his equanimity. Bores do not
bore him. Humbugs do not humbug
him. Solemn airs do not impose on
him. Sentimental gush does not infu-
ence him. The fo!lies of the moment
have no hold on him. Titles and dec
orations are but childish baubles in his
eyes. Prejudice does not warp his
judgment. He is never in conce't or
out of conceit with himself. He ab
hors all dogmatism. The world is 4
stage on which actors strut ami fret
for his edification and amusement.
and he pursues the even current of
his way, invulnerable, doing what is
right and proper according to his
lights, but utterly Indifferent whether
what he does finds approval OF disap-
proval from others. II Hamlet had
had any sense of humor he would not
have been a nuisance to himself and
all surrounding him.

PRINCE BisMARk DEAD.
Ills Passing Away Due to Old AEe-The
End Not Expected

@"' -Nos Ia ApeNttu-
Berlin, July 3O.-Prince Bismarck
died little before IL o'clock tonight.
The end was peaceful.
The details of the death of Prince
Bismarck are obtained with difficulty
because Of the lateness of the hour,
the isolation of the castle and the
strenuous endeavors of the attendants
or the family to prevent publicity be-
Ing given to what they consider private
details
The death of the eX-chancellor comes
as Il surprise to all Europe. Despite
the family's denials. there was an un.
dercurrent of apprehension when the
sinking of the prince was first an
nounced inspired more by what the
family left unpublished than by any
information given. But when the daily
bulletins chronicled improvements in
the princes condition, detailed his cx-
tensive bills of fare and his devotion
to his pipe, the public accepted DR..
Schweninger's assertion that there was
no reason why Bismarck should moi
reach the age of 90.
1t appears that the eX-chancellor,s
death was not precipitated by sudden
complications, but was rather the cul-
mination of chronic disease, neuralgia
OF the face and Inflammation of the
veins, which kept him in constant
pain, and which was born with the
iron fortltude which might have been
expected.
The beginning of the end dates from
July 20. when the prince was confined
10 his bed. He had been several days
Frustrated before an inkling of his de
cline reached the world.

John Albion Andrew, the great war
governor of Massachusetts,, had the
good fortune to spend his boyhood Oh
farm in the state of Maine. His
father and mother, though Of genial
humor. were rigid disciplinarians; and
he had occasion in after life to thank
them for training him in orderly ha-
bits in small, every day matters. One
of his sisters related not long before
her death. which occurred in 1897, that
Albion was summoned home from
school one day by his mother, who
merely pointed to the boys cap, which
he had carelessly left on the floor. The
hint was enough. Without word lie
picked up the cap. hung it on the proper
peg, and promptly went back to school.
The father also strictly enforced the
rule, "A place for everything, and ev-
erything in its place. A pitchfork,
in common use for foddering the cat
tie, was always to be kept standing in
a certain corner Of the barn, where &c
could lay his hand on 1t in the night,
without lantern. On one occasion,
he felt for 1t In vain, and called the
boys to account. With a mixture of
chagrin and amusement. they reported
that Father was mighty particular,
for that fork wasn't moren two inches
out Of place!"

AS an interesting commentary upon
the loud claims of the republican press
Of this state on the eve of the last elec-
ton, that a change of administration
would plunge the state into financial
bankruptcy, we call attention to the
wave of bank failures in the cities of
the state Immediately following repub-
)ican victory. In connection with re-
cent republican attempts to credit the
late wheat boom to republican admin
istration in the nation, we call the at
tention OF the farmers of Minnesota to
the recent shrinkage of over fifty cents
per bushel in the price of their staple
product. From this fraudulent and
fake prosperity" of an approaching
money standard and so-called repub-
lican "business'' administration,
based upon famines in foreign lands
and gambling in wheat pits and on
stock exchanges, we appeal to a stable
just and enduring prosperity resting
upon fundamental economic principles
and upon the great and tried causes OF
the worlds political, moral and mater
ial progress.

Whereas, by a gradual course of jul
dicial legislation, the courts of this
state, as we'll as in some other states,
have sanctioned and approved the
practice of taking cases from juries
and directing verdicts in an arbitrary
manner. and
Whereas that practice is being car
ried to dangerous extreme, and poor
suitors are often thereby deprived of
their constitutional rights, and prac-
tical denial of justice effective in many
cases where powerful corporations are
pitted against the poor, now, there
fore, be it
Resolved, that the practice now pre-
vailing in the courts Of this state, of
taking cases away from juries and d.
recting verdicts, the court itself pass
ing upon the sufficiency of theevidence,
meets with our unanimous condemna-
ton and disapproval:
Resolved, further, that we demand
such legislation as will compel judges
to send cases to juries whenever there
is a scintilla of evidence in support of
the claims of the parties in the case
being tried, and thus return to the sal
utary doctrine and practice that here
tofore pertained in the courts of this
country for many years.
