Lieut.. Gregg of the Fourth Went
FearIessIy to His Death.

Manila, April ?, via San Francisco, May
9.--Instances of personal bravery have
been quite as numerous In the American
army in the Philippines as during the Gu
ban campaign but The correspondents have
not had the same opportunity to chronicle
these deeds of daring in the Orient be-
cause of the thickness Of the country pene-
trated
Many heroic acts were also unheard Of
for days after their occurrence
One soldier who has well illustrated The
quality Of the American is Capt Charles
Cay of the Seventeenth Infantry, Capt
Clay is a native of Lexington KY, and a
grandson Of Henry Clay. He brought new
honor to the family name in Cuba, where,
during the hottest action of the Santiago
campaign, when his men were lying behind
cover for a shelter from a shower of bull

Of his company as erect and cool as though
on dress parade nor would he yield to the
appeals Of the men that he find shelter

Shot Through the Neck.
When Gen. Hale was assigned TO a bril-
gade in the Philippines ne appointed Capt
Clay TO the position OF adjutant.
On the first day of MacArthur's advance
Capt Clay riding erect as usual, received
a bullet through his neck. -
He lay six hours in the jungle before he
was discovered and, as The wound was a
dangerous one at best, his life was de-
SPARED Of
His only thought when he was brought
icto the hospital was that his family
should be informed that he was but slight
ly injured.
He is now, however, well on the road to
complete recovery.

membered by his comrades than Lieut..
Gregg of The Fourth Infantry.
No man In the army had more than he
to make life worth living; friends, success
IN his profession. vitality, and physical
strength that made him the bmpersonatlon
Of the athlete and solder.
His fearlessness and confidence in his
powers contributed 10 his death.
In the beginning OF the hot fight at
Mariaulna which Gen. Hall conducted
with such skill and success that II was
worthy OF more attention than the over
shadowing Importance Of Gen. MacAr-
thurs advance permitted Griggs was
near his chief.
The horse he rode had Just been shot
under him. He was taking off the sad
die when a man warned him that the
shot had been hred by sharpshooter In
a tree near by
Refusing 10 take cover as most of the
men were doing, the lieutenant stepped
forward and, standing erect, uncased his
field glasses to look at the tree.
Just as he raised them TO his eyes a
puff Of smoke was seen in the tree.
Gregg put his hand to his breast and
fen forward, killed instantly.

that there is an unavoidable risk in TAX

THE LIMIT OFF.

These are days of big figures. Men make $1O, 900 in minute s1,OOO,OO0 in a day, etc. etc. Trusts pile up capital stock at the rate of s1, ,OOO OOO, 900 or more a year. The limit has been taken off and the game is a gigantic one. The latest story big enough to attract atten- ton is told by writer in the United States Investor who says: l am told by one who has kept in pretty close touch with those who have been manipulating the Standard Oil copper shares, that J.. P. Morgan & Co., have secured the un- derwriting of $1O0, 100000 of the securi ties in London, and that the Roths- childs will underwrite $1000O0,000 in Paris Where the remainder will be placed is not known, but presumably it will be in this country. It is stated that the total capitalization will be s35O 1000, ,OOO or s4OO,OOO,oOo, and that the stock will be placed on the market slightly below par.
 Slightly below par" is good, and will strike investors as very kind conces- sion. The $35O000, 900 or $40O 900, ,000 part also reads well, and will encourage those who are working for few dollars a week, just as MT. Rockefeller did when he was poor and happy.

Competition.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The Waterbury American, in it's re- cent able consideration of "The Logic of Trusts" pointing out their tendency to- wards socialism, says: 'The whole the ory of modern business is based upon competition as a benefit to the commit nity.'
 It can but be evident to thinkers, and especially to the thinker who engages in business pursuits for livelihood, that the question of competition as the best system for production and distribution is becoming very serious one. While competition no doubt stimulates thought and flowers costs and prices" it is also true that it creates friction which has a serious effect on the health of busl- ness men and which compels them to seek methods of combination as means of elf-preservation and defense from each other. Is not this the inevitable re- suit of a system which sells for the high est it can and buys for as little as it can? Is this the principle of doing as

The last five seasons, with all the attention to artistic colors that has marked them. have not developed anything more ele- gant than this. and the same silk is suitable for many other equally artistic combinations.
 This is not the only attractive silk that bids women desert the beautiful cloths they have held to so long. Su- rahs and bengalines make good appeal, and for summer use foulards, India and Japanese silks are put forward in hand some array There can be little doubt that by the time women are shopping for fall and winter leaders of fashion will be going in for silk, and cloth will be numbered among the has-beens. By then, too, there should be good show
 ing of new weaves, for certainly silk manufacturers will try to clinch their recently achieved hold on woman's fam cy by offering novelties. Just how much summer silks will be worn is a question, though it is already evident that there will be no little of it in use. Foulards are already going off. as sales folk say, and some very attractive mod el gowns are made of it. One of these was the subject of to-day's picture. It's color was napoleon blue, and the point ed trimming of both bodice and skirt was Irish lace of deep cream shade. On the bodice, too, was yoke Of hgur- ed blue foulard.

The dinners that are being eaten in honor of Jeffersonian Democracy and simplicity are interesting. Fortunate
 as Brother Croker so delicately inti- mated, are the Democrats who can eat ten-dollar dinner and wash it down with sparkling foreign wine. Fortu- nate, too, are the Democrats who can eat a one-dollar dinner and wash it down with American champagne :" (Three thousand bottles). Fortunate, too. are the Democrats who are able to eat good dinners that cost less than a dollar and are washed down with beer or water. But we regret to notice that there is a painful lack of grati- tude on the part of all the fortunate Democrats who find themselves able to eat good dinners. At the famous ten- dollar dinner there wasn't word of gratitude to the Republican party. No such word was heard at the one-dollar dinner. AUC yet lIle INepuDiiCdu party, by maintaining the gold standard and managing we'll otherwise, has done much to help Democrats to good din
 ners in these times. But twas ever thus. Man is a poor critter, and Dem- ocratic man is an especially poor crit ter He forgets to be thankful, and he is apt to think that what comes to him is proper reward of his own merit.
