Myths and Facts.

II ND now the iconocasts have
! knocked the great Funston
hfrom his pedestal and trampled
MIN IN the dust. The story that he
swan river under murderous fire
and with nine companions, drove back
an army of 1900 men is denied-de-
MED, too, by soldiers OF his own regl-
ment, men of character and reputa-
ton, who were right there on the spot,
and who declare that nothing Of the
kind ever happened. According to the
Kansas City Times Funstons tremend-
GUS deeds were done on paper with
a lead pencil by a Kansas reporter.
Funston was "herofied and duly pro-
noted for stories of natatory feats
that delighted the nation. He scored in
the newspapers the country over as a
latter-day Bayard, without fear and
without reproach. 4 He got to be the
central figure Of the whole disturbance
in Luzon. And now it develops that,
after all, this Ajax, according to Lieu
tenant Callahan, lay ingloriously on
his stomach behind a rice dixie at
Guigguinto in mud and safety, while
the fighting went forward under the
leadership of his unadvertised lieuten-
ant colonel. And Funston never
plunged into the Bagbag in the face of
hail of bullets and led his men in
an amphibous charge. Neither did
| he breast the turbid floods of the Rio
| dfande while the Mauser balls zip
tipped about him. All this he has been
credited with, but it was the press
| agents work"
| And thus the story of Funston swim
ming the river takes its place with the
| tales Of George Washington and the
hatchet and of William Tell and the
| apple.
To offset the shattering of The
Funston idol, however, comes the
assurances that historical investiga-
tion has proved that there was
such person as Barbara Fritchie
and that she shook the American flag
in Stonewall Jackson's face lust as
Whittier's poem says she did The
new play Barbara Fritchie' now run
ming in New York, with Julia Marlowe
in the title role, has revived interest
in the controversy which has been

twenty years. People in Frederick
have come forward to assert that they
knew Barbara F'ritchie, lived near her
at the period referred to in the poem,
and witnessed the stirring scenes in
Stonewall jackson and his army. If
none of them actually saw Barbara in
the act of shaking the flag, they all
agree that such a woman did exist,
that she possessed and frequently dis
played union flag, and that she had
tho spirit to do what the heroine OF
Whittier's poem is portrayed as having
done.

AMUSEM MENTS.
"MIIe. Fiji"

Mile. Fifi' which thrived wonder
fully under the stimulus of fiourishing
patronage for nearly 200 nights in New
York, comes to the Margaret theater
on Wednesday evening. This purely
French farce, with its ingenious plot
and cumulative interest, is played to
the accompaniment Of constant mer-
riment. 1t is acted by little compa-
ny of most admirable artists. Miss
Maud Granger never had part which
revealed her personal magnetism and
artistic methods better. Mamie Gill
roy, slender and sWeet-faced, has sud
denly come into prominence by her de-
lightful, natural and winsome charm.

up-to-date company is the Rays Hot

TEN of telegraphing being made
from Chicago, while not en-
tirely satisfactory, encourage the belief
that the process when fully perfected
will eventually displace the system now
in use. But for ordinary business pur-
poses the displacement will not come
soon. In the opinion of the Chicago
Journal, the value of the machine will
be confined mainly to newspaper Of
fees, where long messages are sent
and where it is desirable to get them
with the least possible delay For the
sending of shorter messages the pres
ent system is manifestly the quicker,
since by the Pollak-virag method the
message must first be written out in
dots on a paper ribbon by the Wheat
stone perfcrator, this ribbon trans
ferred to the telegraph machine, the
message received at the other end OF
the line on sensitized paper the dots
and dashes developed as in photog-
raphy, and finally the message written
out The second and third operations
would, in the case of messages of or
dinary length, be practically instanta-
neous, and in newspaper offices the
last step could be made unnecessary
by requiring the linotype operators to
be able to read the dot-and-dash mes
sage as received.

Two score men who had seen serv-
ice in the rice and paddy fields of the
Philippines met last night at the CAPT

of the Eighth army corps, to be held
in this city next spring or summer.
1t was resolved to form war society,
modelled perhaps after that of the
Army of the Potomac. and to be called
probably The Society of the Army of
the Philippines The Importance of the
project may be judged from the fact
that the Eighth corps includes regi-
ments from almost 20 states, number

Another View Of the Beers.

~HE treacherous use of flags OF
| truce imputed to the Beers by
| the British is anything but con-
sistent with the humane treatment
which, it is agreed, the Beers are ac.
cording their British prisoners. On this
point young Winston Churchill offers
corroborative testimony. Durance at
Pretoria is anything but vile. THE
Beers have treated us with much kind
ness" says the son of Lady Randolph
in an interview. This was the case
from the outset. They praised our de-
fense of the armored train and ex-
pressed surprise that the locomotive
was saved from becoming a hopeless
wreck. as they expected, under their
artillery fire."
1t appears from this that the Beers
are making rapid progress in the art
of jollying. But their claim to an ad-
vanced stage of civilization is more
clearly set forth in this surprising state
ment Of Mr.. Churchill: "On the jour
ney great numbers Of burghers crowded
to see us, but there was only one who
made insulting remarks, the others
courteously offering us cigarettes or
showing such marks of attention.
Clearly the Beers must be about as
high up on the ladder as they climb
them. That the burghers smoke cigar
cites is a revelation for which their
most enthusiastic admirers were totally
unprepared. 1t would have surprised
most people to learn that they had de-
veloped their use Of tobacco as high
as the cigar stage. These honest old
burghers have been depicted as ad
dicted to the pipe-short, black, malo-
dorous pipes at that; pipes the smell
of which would paralyze at forty yards.
But here they are smoking dainty cigar
cites and courteously rendering them
with Chesterneldian grace to their ap-
preciative prisoners. fresh from Lon
don's aristocratic clubs and fascinat-
ing music halls.
Young Mr.. Churchill never accepted
cigarettes from any dashtng goddess of
the footlights with half the pleasure
he experienced when there, in a far
country. the enemy's county at that,
supposed to be peopled by rude, rough
cowboys, clodhoppers and lonE-whis-
kered populists, he was politely invited
to have some on them. The war is
changing the popular conception of the
Beers in many regards. The world has
known all along that they were fighters
from way back; but the world has con-
ceived them to be as short on polish as
it has admitted them to be long on
strpture. They were not believed to
be capable of figuring as ornaments of
polite society. They did not enjoy the
respect and confidence of mankind as
glasses of fashion and mouds OF form.
They We're thought to be lamentably
deficient in culture, dress suits and the
two-step. But their possession of cigar
cites diss!pates all these erroneous no.
tions. Perhaps it would be extreme to
pronounce the Beers fops and dudes
but at least they have some of the most
distinguishing attributes Of the SWEETEST
exguisties of the most fashionable
drawing rooms on tap.

"ROD" WILLIAMS SCHEME.
Would Mount Captain Hallahan's Gun
on the Top of the Hill.

Rod" Williams is the parent of a
unique scheme for exhibiting Captain
Hallahan's famous Spanish cannon.
Sheriff Jack Conley Is the man who
could work it all right, and I am go
ing to talk to him about it," said Mr.
Williams yesterday. II don't want to
throw any bouquets at myself, but the
fact is l think my scheme is the best
yet. -..t.
Here it is: Let Jack Conley, when
he gets into the new jail, take his pri5-
oaers out and build a handsome ser
pentlne roadway up the hill back of
the court house. making the road broad
and of easy grades, so that one may
drive up it. AT the top construct u
miniature fort, and there make a lit
tie park and mount the cannon. What
do you think of it? Isn't it a hot
scheme? What's that? Can anyone
but mountain goat get up there? Of
course they can with a road such as
