bugler turned the tide of war at
Elandslaagte. A correspondent,

Hignlanders, the Manchester regiment

the final charge, says: "To our aston
ishment we heard cease fire. and re
tire sounded by buglers. It was diff
cultto account for it then, but not when
we knew that the Beers had learned

sound the Gordon Highlsnders were
beginning to fall back when their boy
bugler, saying retire be bowed, rush
ed forward and blew q hasty Charge
whereupon the ranks closed up and the
victory of Elandslaagte was won."

NO CHEERS FOR DEWEY.
A Chicago Audience Heard u Lecture by
Two Ex-soldiers Who Declared Dewey
Left Manila In Disgust.

Chicago, July lin silence an audi
ence of men and women that filed the
auditorium of All Souls church viewed
stcreopticon picture of Admiral
Dewey. Not single individual APP
plauded the features of the hero OF
Manila bay. Later in the evening the
features of Agunaldo, the Filipino
leader, sprang out clear and distinct
upon the screen. There was an instan-
taneous burst of applause for minute
and just as it subsidized 1t broke out
again louder and longer. Once during
the evening did the audience of 1000 or
more persons do homage to the name OF
Dewey, and that was when the lecturer
said: II believe that Admiral Dewey
left Manila in disgust at the conduct
of the government in attempt
ing to subjugate the natives"
Then was the applause rs hearty
ard prolonged as that which greeted
the swarthy features of the commander
OF the Filipino army. The lecture was
given by Fritz Andrea, at one time SER
geant of the Eighteenth company,
United States volunteer signal corps,
and William II. Reeves, who was n
private in the First company Of the
same corps.

Fourth of July. The figures were sup
Piled by correspondents in various

changes from all parts of the country
have been carefully scrutinized to
make the list as accurate as possi-
bic. The number of killed, 80, cor

number of severely injured is in
creased to /, 9G2. The details arc rs fol-
lows: Cannon crackers. Gi6; toy can

plosions, a43; revolvers, $50; toy pistols,

Tins will go through life without eyes,
some without arms, some without legs,
and large number with mangled

A Startling Answer.

A Latin professor was explaining the der.
ivation of our word ''ostracise" to his class
in local academy the other day. He told
the story Of the early Roman republics and
the scheming Of the politicians Of the
times. lie related how, when any man in
the republic became obnoxious to his neigh.
bos, they used to write his name on an
oyster shell (Latin-ostreum, SHELLY, and on
the receipt Of specified number by the
consuls that man was banished, killed or
otherwise removed in some one Of those
pleasant ways the old Romans had. When
he had finished his explanation he said:
"Now, the boy here in the front seat,
what did we derive from the old Latin use
OF the shell, which was called ostreum?"
The answer he expected was far from
what he got, for the little student with
spectacles in the front seat arose and de.
livered himself thus:
