ROBERT COWES.
Death of Man known in Many
Countries.

Death of a Man known in Many
Countries.
Much genuine regret was expressed
here upon receipt by the S. S. Rio de
Janeiro of the death, on the up voyage
of the S. S. ZeaIandia of Robert Cowes,
the steward. Honolulu is the home
of Mr. Cowes and it is in this place
that he leaves a widow and son and
hundreds of friends to mourn his loss.
TIE body has been embIamed and will
arrive back by the Zealandia on We'd
nesday next The funeral will be held
at $3.50 the following afternoon from
the residence on Hotel street. Inter
ment will beside the grave of son
of the late Mr.. COwes in the CathoIlc
cemetery on King street. Services Will
be held at the residence by Rev. Alex
Macintosh. Mr.. COwes having been
a communicate of the English church
Robt. Cowes was SO years of age and
a native of the State of New York. He
was intensely American, was faithful
man of the highest sense of honor and
integrity. In 1S49 he came across Pa
mama to California. During the civil
war he was with the Union forces,
being in a command of Admiral Brown,
for whom he entertained the greatest
admiration. Mr.. COwes is believed to
have been a member of a Cream Army
post of San Francisco.
For thirty years Mr.. COwes has been
a steward in Pacific Ocean steamers
and naturally made the acquaintance
of thousands of travellers and of promi-
nent people in all the ports. With the
assistance of the management of Mrs
Cowes he had accumulated not a little
property. The nature of the man is
clearly shown by an incident connected
with his enlistment with the Federal
forces in the United States. He re-
ceived some bounty money and at once
gave the whole of it to fund for the
benefit of widows and orphans.

THEY GAIN STRENGTH.

Cotton Mill Operatives Who are Out on
Strike Secure More Support by New
Move.
Boston, Jan. 19.-Grim determination
on the part of both sides, as well as an
absence of any sign of demonstration
were the features of the second day in
the great strike in the cotton industry.
Interest centered almost entirely in the
strike at New Bedford, where the dis
turbances of Monday led to the belief
that similar demonstration might be
attempted yesterday. Nothing of the
kind occurred and the strikers very
much strengthened their cause by
making the question of fines definite
issue with the mill owners. 1t is pos
sible that an agreement on this ques-
tion may lead to some satisfactory end
ing of the whole matter in that city,
although at present such an outcome
seems distant.
The matter of financial support to
the strikers was generally discussed,
not only in New Bedford, but in Bidde-
ford, Saco and Lewiston, Me-, and
while the union strikers seem to have
no anxiety regarding the next three
months, the non-union men who are
out fear they may not receive sufficient
support. In Fall River the superin-
tendent of the King Philip mill. where
there is strike, went so far as to agree
to remedy union grievances, but other
than this there appears no break in the
line of the manufacturers.

Lincoln and Davis.

Malcolm Townsend has pointed out
condolences of events in the lives of
Lincoln and jeff Davis. Both were born
III Kentucky-Lincoln in 1909, Davis in
1908. Both removed from their native
state in childhood. Davis going to the
southwest, Lincoln to the northwest.
In the Black Hawk war Davis was
second lieutenant of regulars, Lincoln
captain of volunteers. Both began
their political career at the same
period, 1914, Davis being presidential
c.ector for Henry Clay. Both were
elected TO congress at about the same
time, Davis in 1S45, Lincoln in 1916.
Lastly, in the same year and almost the
same day, they were called on to pre-
side over the destinies of their respec-
tive governments, Davis of the confed-
crate states, February s, 1861, and Lin
coin as president of the United States,

Pipe Line AbIaze.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. II. Two
thoughtless boys caused great mischief
yesterday by applying a match to a
spray of coal oil issuing from a small
aperture in the Standard Oil Co.'S pipe
line from Sistersville and Warrington
to Morgantown. The pressure at that
point was strong. Soon the burning
spray melted the lead in the joints of
the pipe, which was six inches in diam
eter. Fifty acres of forest and field
were soon ablaze. Two small bridges
and two barns were burned. All the
oil in ten miles of siX-inch pipe, nearly
1000 barrels. was consumed.

terview. She brought with her little
boy of 12 or 13 years, whom she wished
to place in the regiment as drummer
boy. Her husband had been killed in
the service, and she thought that the
boy, who was eager to "join the army"
might earn something toward the sup
port of the family.

been accepted, "he won't be in much

"We shall be disbanded in few weeks,

The new drummer soon became fa-
vorite, and there was never feast of
fruit or other hardly procured dainties
that Eddie" did not get his share first.
The soldiers were stirred by the child's
enthusiastic devotion, and declared that
his drumming was different from that
OF all the other drummers in the army.
After the engagement at Wilson's
Creek where the federals were defeated,
Corp. R, who had been thrown from
his horse, found himself lying concealed
from view near a clump of trees. AS
he lay there with his ear to the ground
he heard the sound of drum, distinct
but rather faint. In a moment he rec
ognized the stroke of Eddie, the boy
| drummer, and hastened toward the spot
whence the sound proceeded. In a
clump of bushes, propped against a
tree, he found the boy. His drum was
hanging from a shrub within reach and
his face was deadly pale.
"Oh, corporal" said he, "I am so glad
you came. Won't you give me drink of
water, please?"
The corporal ran to a little stream
close by and brought the boy draught.
Just at this moment there came an or
der for the retreat, and the corporal
turned to go.
Don't leave me-" said the little drum
mer; 81 can't walk. See!" and he
pointed to his feet.
The corporal saw with horror that
both feet had been shot off by a cannon

them" continued the boy. pointing TO
the dead body of a confederate soldier
who lay beside him. He was shot all
to pieces, but he crawled over here and

his eyes wearily.
The corporal's eyes were blinded by
a mist of tears as he looked down. The
confederate soldier shot to death, had
managed to take off his suspenders and
bind the boys legs above the knees!
AS the corporal bent down to raise
the child body of confederate troops

sob in his voice he told the story. and

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
GARRISON AROUSED BY A JOKE.
Tricls of Two Soldiers on n Libby
Prison Guard,

EEAbOh
wartime comrade of Capt. Samuel |
L. Hamilton, the newly-appointed po-
lice marshal of Baltimore, tells a very |
interesting story of him in connection |
with the incarceration of Capt. Hamil-
ton and himself in Libby prison.
1--WE were quartered on the top floor
of that hell hole" said the old soldier,
''and from the top floor clear down to
the cellar there ran hatchway, used
in time of peace for lowering and rails
ing hogsheads of tobacco. One of our
fellows, who was good deal of a devil
in his way, had occasion to visit the
edge of this hatchway one night and
noticed guard in the cellar squatted
on his launches, with his musket in
his arms and apparently fast asleep.
On the edge of the hatchway there was
barprl with a rope handle on each
side. This barrel was used as a recepta-
Gle for all sorts of refuse. This dare
devil soldier quietly stepped among the
sleeping forms and touched Sam Ham
ilton lightly on the shoulder, awakened
him and beckoned him to follow to
the hatchway. Then he motioned to
have Sam take one handle while he took
the other, and in a whisper he said:
.One, two, three!' and at the word three
both let go. That barrel was aimed
squarely at the head of the sleeping sem
tinel, but by some occult means he
seemed to realize that he was in danger
and suddenly jumped to one side, and
as the barrel struck the ground he gave
the alarm by firing his musket. The
shot was taken up and repeated by the
guards outside, and then two battalions
of artillery stationed over at Belle Isle
belched forth a volume of smoke and
flame. In an instant the long roll was
sounded. and from the left to the right
flank of Lees army around Richmond
could be heard the alarm, repeated from
regiment to regiment. There was a
great commotion, and, of course, an in
vestigation.
"NeXt morning when it was discov-
cred that the slop barrel was missing
from the upper floor an attempt was
made to force a confession from the
culprit. Everyone was as mum as an
oyster. No one knew anything about
it. Finally the governor of the prison
announced that until the offenders
made a confession that floor would be
kept without rations. This lasted "a
hours. Then Sam Hamilton asked 10
be taken to the governor.
"When he reached that august per-
sons presence he said: L did not do
this thing, but l am going to confess
that I did. l cannot stand it to see my
comrades starved to death, as the man
who did it is too mean to confess that
he was guilty of the accident or crime,
