way to his base of supplies practically
blookaded, by demanding surrender he
arose to the plane of Napoleonic audac-
ity, exemplifying the favorite maxim Of
the great war lord, "Be bold, be bold,
and evermore be bold"
All in all, the commander of the Fifth
corps in the Santiago campaign was
just what he had been in the previous
35 years of service-a "hustler," q
Fighter" and a di~sciplinarian of the
exacting, imperious type. ''Staff officers
are never seen cooling their heels around
Skaters tent" said a subordinate who
has served with him Is years. "Service
under him is an endless tour of work
and drive, work and drive"
The army at Santiago knew Shafter
as we'll as Miles did when he named
him for the trough and tumble" cam
paign. There was never a doubt among
officers and men as to what he would
expect, never an uncertainty as to what
he would condemn and punish.
"At every stage, " said General Brock
inridge in his official report, "he [Shaf-
teri was the dominant spirit at the scene
of action" Shafter dominates every
body from the second in command down
to the humblest mule driver Of his
army, the very type of leader needed for
a heterogeneous mass fighting against
time and fate in a new and untried field.

POVERTY SOCIAL.
Ladies of the 0. {. S. Score
Another Success.
HAVE A GOOD ATTENDANCE
And Many Poverty Stricken Costumes.
Several Heavy Fines Imposed.

We thought until last night that thu
ajority of the people of our city were
above want, but Judging from some OF
the costumes worn at the poverty socla
given by the ladies of the o. Il. 5. al
me Masonic banquet hall last evenin.
we should say that Barre would offr,
an excellent field for some philanthro-
plst.
Every one there did not wear poverty
clothes, put a goodly number entered
INTO the split of the occasion ann ap-
ptared in costume, and we do not hesi
tate to say that some of the remarkable
" sizes worn were veritabe works ol
art Nothing but tirst-class rag. bag
could have furnished some of the COS
tunes worn.
From ninety to one hundre people
We're present. Silks and broalclolh
and diamonds were worn by some bu,
they had to pay for it when the COM
niltee on fines got after them. Joan
E. Smith and Fred Nludyett suffered
the most at their hands. At 8 O'Clock
the assembly formed for a grand exhi-
bilion march after which Miss Kate
Healey gave a selection on the organ
and Miss Lillian HENDERSON gave rec
ilation.
Refreshments of coffee and dough-
nuts were served flom 8 to 10 O'Clock.
AT 10 o'clock the ''worthy poor" formed
for grand march and inspection, Miss
llealey officiating at the organ. The
judges were Frank Kinney and Frank
rhurber ana they had hard time de-
ciding which were the most poverty
stricken individuals there, but they fin
ally decided that Nat Bond and Mrs. +.
L. Cutler were the most worthy and to
Them was awarded the prizes, an ink
we'll to Mr.. Bond and candle and can
dleslick to Mrs, Cutler.
Among those who wore remarkable
costumes are noted Mr.. and Mrs. Nat
Bond, Mrs. +. I, Cutler, Alice Blanch-
ard, W. j. ligman, G. NJ. Wiley, Vic
tor Richardson and wife, Mrs. Horace
Richardson and w. a. Whitcomb The
committee on fines was composed of
Mrs. Horace Richardson, Mrs. Il. l..
Densmore, e. NJ. Wiley and j. Il.
Mckenzie and they made it lively for
all persons wearing good clothes.
Before the assembly broke up ID. V.

will undoubtedly be a most interesting

Big BRIDGE COLLAPSES
Monster Structure at Cleveland Un-
dermined by Flood.
MANY WORKMEN IN DANGER
standard Oil COMpany's Works and
Cleveland Paper Mills Among
the Buildings In the Line
of the Flood.

Cleveland, Jan. is.-The Wilson av-
enue bridge, the fine steel structure
owned jointly by the Nickel Plate road,
the city of Cleveland and the Cleveland
| City Railroad company collapsed as a
| result Of flood. The entire structure
did not go into the river, but enough
went to stop for a second the heart
beats of thousands of spectators. About
$50 feet of the bridge formed an inclin-
ed plane to the ground.
The disaster started through the
breaking Of the immense dam under the
bridge. The break in the dam, which
was an unsubstantial mass Of earth,
occurred while 80 men We're at work
in the artificial canal being sunk by the
city engineers to allow the pent up wa
ter to find gradual and safe outlet.
These men had narrowing experience,
and escaped with their lives with not
second to spare.
The 80 men were rs feet below the
summit of the dam, laboring in the dim
glow of few incandescent lights, when
their foreman suddenly called to them
to run for their lives.
Dragged to Safety.
Most of them being foreigners and
slow to understand English but few
knew what the command meant and did
not at first show any signs of needing it
and were literally dragged away.
The last man had scarcely left the
trench before torrent of water swept
down over it with roar, carrying ev-
erything before it. A big force of men
was at once put to work making en-
bankments in order to hold the water
in check as much as possible.
A number of factories and manufac-
turing plants below the dam have suf-
fered to some extent from the flood. but
no great damage to them has occurred
so far. Below the dam and in line of
the flood are the works of the Standard
Oil company, the Cleveland Paper mills
the Flick abattoir and number of
buildings. owned by the Nickel Plate
Railway company.
Few persons live in the district i'm
mediately below the dam. They were
aroused at the first premonition of dan
ger by the police and firemen, large de-
{. is of whom were early on the scene.
The endangered persons lost no time in
seeking places of safety.
The food of water which caused the
trouble at the VIII, n avenue dam ha-
been penned UP behind, it Tor several \
days 1t has occasioned grave fears o
the part of the city officers that seriou
damage might result If it was moi
drawn off slowly, and to this end ?
large force of men have bent their en-
ergies.

Where Paris Excels London.

There are some things that the French
do infinitely better than the English,
and one of them is the establishment
of their capital city. No absolute reason
exists why London should not be as
cheerful and beautiful as Paris. The
difference in climate is small, and it is
not wholly to the advantage of the
French metropolis. And if money be a
consideration there is quite as much Of
that commodity in London as in Paris.
Some statistics, however, which have
just been published throw an interest
ing ray of light on the cost Of keeping
Paris bright and attractive
1t appears that the title of Vile Lu-
miere is not as well earned as one might
imagine, seeing that there are but 52,-
AGO lanterns, more than half Of which
have but one burner each. The boule-
wards and avenues are ornamented with
S6, 400 trees, which is no mediocre feat
to accomplish, considering the inhospi-
table nature Of the soil. They are to a
large extent plane trees, which have
been found more suitable than most
other kinds There are, however. no less
than IA, 500 chestnut trees, whereas the
number of elms is still greater by 100.
This brotherhood of venerable trees,
as Wordsworth would have termed the
scattered forest of Paris and their
maintenance costs in round numbers
$65, 900 year. There are s, 800 seats in
the streets and squares which cost the
weary foot passenger nothing, and a
very large number of supplementary
chairs which can be had for penny. 49,
