Fought With Hatcliet at Gettysb urg.
A novel sort of monument has been
erected on the Gettysburg battlefield
by the survivors of the Thirteenth
Vermont Regiment. The statue shows
the bronze figure of Oh officer, his
right hand appraised holdinga Ratchet.
The story as to the design of the
statue is told as fellows: First Lieu.
tenant Stephen F. Brown, Of Company
X, Thirteenth Vermont Volunteers,
was the model for the statue. just be-
fore the battle he was placed under
arrest, and was relieved OF his sword
for having forced guard from a we'll
in order to get drink of water while
on the march to Gettysburg. During
Pickett's charge Lieutenant Brown,
not having any sword, seized Ratchet
and fought with it through the charge.
After this heroic conduct Lieutenant
Browns sword was returned to him
without a trial! He was afterward
promoted to be captain.

Raced In q Tub For Life.

Abraham Sapiro, all employee at the
brewery OF Katz Brothers, Paterson,
N. j., has charge of the MASKING tubs
in which the malt is boiled. In the
centre of each of these tubs there is a
shaft to which are attached two sets
of steel knives. When the upright
shaft revolves the knives are driven
about and the malt is mixed. One OF
the new mash tubs was empty few
days ago and Sapiro was at work clean
ing the machinery. He wa' in the
great vat and had practically compile
ted his task when he asked Thomas
Mckay, who was assisting him, to &c
and turn lever in the next room,
which IL used to start the feeding OF
the malt into the mixer. Mckay raised
the lever which starts the central shaft
in the tub. Sapiro was still in the
tub and as he saw the knives begin to
move walked along the copper bottom
rapidly to keep ont of the way. The
knives moved faster and soon SapirO
was running at top speed with one
knife before him as PAGER and the
others behind him as chasers. Mckay
heard his cries and came running into
the room. He was So Mortified at
what he saw that instead of remedying
the trouble he was rooted to the
ground, and in a daze watched the
chase. Sapiro cried desperately for
help. The shaft had reached its maxi
mum speed and the man between the
knives could not last long. In the
meantime slip on the copper bottom
meant horrible death. Sapiro was
on his last legs when workmen from
other parts OF the building having
heard his agonized cries, reached him.
One of these had the presence of mind
to signal the engine room and in
moment the machinery began to
slacken speed. When it finally stopped,
and Sapiro had to be very careful to
slow up ut the same rate as the knives,
thu runner fell to the bottom of the
vat exhausted. He had been at top
speed for nearly five minutes, racing
with death. He was unhurt.

FUNERAL OF JUSTICE FELL
WILL BE HELD IN WASHINGTON
THURSDAY MORNING.
Final Resting Place Has Not Yet
Been Decided Upon-Messages of
Sympathy Received.

Washington, April 10.-The funeral of
the late Justice Field viii take place
next Thursday morning at 1890, but
whether from the church of the Epiph-
any or from his late residence, has not
yet been definitely determined. For the
present the body Will be placed in a
vault in Oakhill cemetery until the
final resting place is decided upon.
Mrs Field received today many tele-
grams of coincidence from every part
of the Unietd States, and cables from
London, one from Ambassador Choate.
and one from Lady Ausgrave. The
president and Mrs. Mckinley sent a
beautiful basket of roses with their
sympathy, and many distinguished
people called to bear messages Of love
and sympathy. Chief Justice Fuller
and all his associates on the supreme
bench called individually during the
day.
The supreme court adjourned out of
respect to the memory of its late mem
Der. When the court convened at noon
Chief Justice Fuller announced the
denth of the venerable jurist and then
adjourned the court in the following
words:
1T becomes my sad duty to inform
the gentlemen of the bar that on yes
terday, Sunday evening, Justice Field
passed from this life. He died full of
years and honors, and attended by all
that should accompany old age.
His judicial career has, been uneX-
ampled in length and distinguished SER
vice, and he occupied a seat upon this
bench for a longer period than any of
it's members from the beginning. His
labors left no region of Jurisprudence
unexplored, and now that he rests from
them, his works will follow him. His
retirement, when he saw port approach
ing, was so recent that he hardly seems
to have been absent, and his death
comes home TO us the more keenly.
LAS a mark of respect to his memory
the court will stand adjourned until to-
morrow"

been handed down today viii be deliv-

AN ODD DEPOSIT0R.
His Methods Fooled the Man Who

The cashier of thriving bank in a
big western town was doing the talk

When I began my career in the
banking business he said, 1t was in

town until his election and moved there
when he took charge. After about six
months experience l was made assist

to the window and took my first les
SON A rough-1ooking old fellow came
in that 1 thought was a farmer from
Hayville. He came straight for me,
and said he wanted to deposit some
money. 1t wasn't my business to un-
dertake a new customer, but l thought
l knew it all, and began to talk to him.
He said he wanted to deposit cent
that day. but had more. Well, 1 gave
him the ha ha then and there, and
told him to run around TO the Dime
Savings bank and become d depositOr
on the installment plan. L also said
some more funny things, and after 1
had had all the fun there was he said
that while he wished to deposit only
a cent that day. he would put in ?
cents next day, and 4 next and so on
for four weeks. 1 gave him the laugh
again and told him we really couldn't
do a small business like that, and he
must be a good boy and run along to
the penny ante bank around the cor

still laughing when the receiving teller
came back.
Il told him what was making me
smile, and he looked at me kind of fun

have amounted to something over

wished to deposit his money. He's q
crank, but he's got the cash, all the

feet your able funny business has had
upon him l can't say, but suppose you
go and talk to your father about it, or
do you want me to report it to the
cashier and let him see the president?
Il had cold chills and collapse and a
lot more things during the next five
minutes, and then l mustered up cOur-
age and went to my father with the
story. He promptly reduced me TO the
ranks and cut my salary 10 per cent,

that she didn't greet him with repin-

likely to go to sleep again, and that he
wasn't causing any grief at all by being
naughty and keeping still. So he
cleared his throat and said:
Did he play the Buck Dance Con-
certo in u minor with his hair, and
how was it?''
There was a lot Of sarcasm in the
way Mr.. Jobson asked this question.
Mrs. JObson didn't turn over at all.

inquired, sleepily.
