WAR CURE FOR YELLOW JACK.
A British Naval Surgeon Says 1t Was q
Success Off the Chinese Coast.

A British Naval surgeon says II "ae
Success Off the Chinese Coast.
"Yellow fever, I see," said mid
night wayfarer as he stopped before
an alarming war bulletin. The man
looked as if he had just got off train
from anywhere, and he was in a mood
to chat with any stranger who stood
next him, as men so, often are
in these war times, when all Ameri-
cans seem to be kin. yellow fever,
I see. Well, that doesn't scare me
worth cent. No, sir. Yellow fever
doesn't do much harm to an army that
has plenty of excitement. Now, if the
Spaniards would suddenly get quite
peaceable and orderly so as to leave
the army there without any excite
ment -
eyes, 1 know what I'm talking
about. There was an old doctor [
knew in Canada that used to be sur
geon in the British navy, and he told
me how he stopped yellow fever on
his ship when they were doing some
kind of naval work at the mouth of
the Peiho river, or some such river,
on the Chinese coast. He said the
Chinese fixed chain across the mouth
of the river, and before the British
could get in they had to file that chain
in two. Every time boatload of men
went to do some filing the Chinese
would pepper them with musketry
from under cover of the shore, so that
filing was a slow job, but very ex-
citing Job. Lots of the men in the
boat got hit.
Gust about the time this filing be-
gan one of the crew reported sick
with yellow fever symptoms, then
another, and another, until it got
about the ship that yellow jack had
come aboard. The doctor said he
knew that if the men had got to
thinking about it they would all gel
the fever, so the next man that re-
ported with the symptoms he just or
dered him, instead Of lying down, tc
stand by aud wait for further orders.
In that way the doctor got together
a good half dozen of yellow fever pa
tients ready to join the next gang
that was ordered off to do cable
filing
"He told me that those patients O
his didn't the least object to his pre-
scription. They would just as lie
have a Chinese bullet in the open ali
as die of yellow fever between decks
But of course only some Of them 60
hit, and the doctor declared to M
that not one of them died of yellow
fever. So, you see, he saved tn
lives of all the balance, according t.
that, and the fever didn't get any hole
on that crew.
':Do 1 believe it? Why, certainl.
I do. No, I don't understand mucl
about faith cures, but l do know tina
it's more than any one man can do tt
face bullets and have yellow fever a
the same time"

kir as the summer azure
A timid violet blew
Close to the forts embrasure
Ger which the hot shells flew.
Meath battle-smoke and thunder
The fort was quickly stilled,
It's huge wall blown asunder.
It's brave defenders killed.
Still on the fortress battered,
Whose heroes lay entombed
Beneath their banners tattered,
The peaceful violet bloomed.

tabIishment with the rank of lieuten- ant colonel.
 Two very gallant officers, Maj. Gems. Wade and Wilson, report to Gen. Brooke for duty. Wade is one of the youngest of newly appointed men, cavalry officer of the very finest type, with distinguished war record, which, since the close of the rebellion, has been added to by his services in the west among the Indians. He was a first lieutenant of cavalry in 1861, and rose to be brigadier general in the regular army in 1s97
 It was a part of Gen. Wilson's com mand that effected the capture of Jeifer- sop Davis.
 Wilson was born in Illinois, in Sep tember, 1857, and entered West Point before he had reached his twentieth year, graduating in 1860. He was as- signed to the engineer corps, and was present at the bombardment of Port Pulaski, and afterwards took part ln the battles of South Mountain and An tietam. In November of 1862, he was appointed a lieutenant colonel of vol unteers, and with his regiment operated before Richmond.
 He was transferred to the army of the Potomac in 1864, and had command of a cavalry division during the shen- andoah campaign. Subsequently he was placed in command of cavalry corps in the department of the Missis- sippi, where he rendered valuable sup port to Sherman and Thomas and was with the former during his famous march to the sea.
 At the close of the war he was a major general of volunteers, and when the reorganization of the army took place he accepted a lieutenant eolonefs commission in the regular service. In 1870 he retired from the army and en- tered civil life.
 Gen. Coppinger, who commands the Fifth army corps, was born in Ireland some 63 years ago. His first soldering

tons, Masons and Lees-in 1895. Enter ing West Point before he was 1T years of age, lie graduated in 1856. When the civil war came he threw up his commission in the army to cast his fortunes with those of his state, and was at once made adiutant general on the staff of Gen. Ewell.
 Later he was appointed colonel of the First Virginia cavalry. He was a brig adler general in 1863, and major gen eral in September of the same year.
 Gen. Lee was not quite 30 years of age when the last flicker of the eenfed- eraey went out in the darkness of de- feat, and the sensible manner in which he accepted the situation and went through the reconstruction" period made him especially popular in the north
 In 1885, he was elected governor of Virginia. 1t was during President Cleyeland's administration that he was appointed consal-g general at Havana, post he filled with such courage and tact that he was retained by the Me kinley administration. When William J. Sewall, of New Jersey, declined to be made 8 major general, preferring to re- tain his seat in the senate. the appoint ment went to Matthew (. Butler, of South Carolina Butler may be called bona fde civilian; that is, he is not West Point man. and his soldering was limited 10 the rebellion. He rose to be confederate major general, with splendid reputation for gallantry and ability.
 Butler comes of good American fight ing stock. Oliver Hazard Perry, who won the victory over the British fleet on Lake Erie, in 1Sl9, was his uncle.
 Maj Gen. John R. Brooke, who com mands the First corps and the depart ment of the Gulf, enlisted in the yolun- teer army when the call for men came in 1861, and was made captain in the Fourth Pennsylvania infantry. He was mustered out July %. 1866. and two days later entered the permanent es- GaRp ESDnNnESczs m sEfasa oss

played tact as well as courage and de. termination in controlling the situation.
 Gen. Graham is the oldest of the new appointments, and can go on the retired list next September, if he likes.
 Gen. Breckenridge is an officer of long and varied service in the United States army. He was one of the citizen sol- diers of the rebellion, entering the vol unteer army as 2 lieutenant of artil- Iery in 1861. He fought all through the war, winning promotion step by step, and upon it's close, when he was mus tered into the regular army, saw his full share of rough work in the west. h 1881 he was appointed to the in
