waning moon and, lifting the white dainty

as possible, he took out his pocket knife
intending to amputate the finger which re-
fused to give up its precious Jewel
mo sooner had he made an fncfsion than
the supposed dead woman suddenly sat bolt
upright In her coffin. The startled sexton,
frightened almost to death fed with the

You see, the lady was in q cataIeptfc

The poor sexton was not only not prosecut-

husband gave him large sum of money
His greedy desire for the lady's ring had
been the means Of her rescue from a horri-

Capt. Weaver was an assistant surgeon of
the LIST DC. Volunteers during the war with
Spain, and had considerable experience in
military hospital work.
The hospital at Camp Ordway comprises
three large tents, furnished with regulation
hospital beds and appurtenances, and a
dspensary tent. presided over by Brigade
Hospital Steward Weller. The Ambulance
Corps has tent near the hospital. Regu-
lar drills are held, and they of striking
interest The drill includes the handling of
the wounded, with and without filters, and
ambulance exercises.
The absence of the usual camp complaints
has been noted at Camp Ordway. There
have been few cases of rheumatism and
of an ailment which is characterized as
inconsistencies. At the present time, how
ever. there Is no one occupying bed in
the hospital.
Local Option In LeesburG.
Local option prevails in Leesburg. 1t is
supposed to be a dry town, but up to today
local option failed to keep Camp Ordway
dry. Reference is not made to the inner
man, but to the rain that fell almost con-
tinuously from Friday last until today.
Casual investigation demonstrates that
local option as it applies to Leesburg, has
not anything to do with thirst. The severity
Of the la seems to increase the thirst In
this connection experts say that local op-
ton in Leesburg has resulted In deteriorat-
ing the quality of the liquor that is passed
around in town.
BY the way, a conversation that occurred
on the court house lawn, while the band
concert was in progress Tuesday evening
was significant, as IL throws a sort of strong
calcium searchhght on the subject of Lees
burg local option.
What would you do in case the sheriff
arrested any one for having liquor?' an
officer of the brigade inquired of we'll
known local judge.
Send the sheriff up for eight years." was
the short. sharp and decisive ultimatum of
his honor.
The staid and dignified town of Leesburg
underwent an awakening last evening.
There YVES speech making and music and
dancing and refreshments, and a general
good time all round. 1t was an occasion
long TO be remembered by the residents. for
they said so, and they meant it. The whole
municipality was out, AMI each integral
portion of II was bent on assuring the SOL
der boys that they were welcome in this
part of the country.
The evening was devoted to a sort Of
Joint interchange of courtesy between the
soldiers and the citizens. The initial step
was taken by General Hairless who ordered
the brigade band to Leesburg to give a
concert Tor the entertainment Of the rest

FACTS ABOUT LIGHTNING.
Some Strange Ideas and Traditions
About the Fiery Fluid.

From the Detroit Tribune.
1t is generally acknowledged, and not
without reason, that death by lightning is
absolutely painless. 1t must be instanta-
neous for scientists tell us that flash oc-
cupies less portion of time than the thou
sandth part of a second, and that the VIC
tim Of the lightning stroke never sees the
flash accompanying the electric discharge
which causes his death.
And yet it is an undoubted fact that a
moderate stroke has even proved the rem
edy Of maladies and caused the growth of
trees! The people of oiden times considered
that lightning provided cure for the
palsy, and round the subject an interest
ing folklore has grown in the course Of
ages. For instance, If you chew the spin
tiers of a tree struck by lightning you have
a remedy for the toothache. A house leek
will protect your house, and in many
places they used to ring the church bells
on the approach Of storm; but this has
often proved to be only inviting danger to
the ringers. One curious fact the writer
can youch for. In tropical waters curious
fish collects in shoals about the mouth of
rivers or shallow waters after storm.
and they are extremely palatable on their
first appearance, but fall OF in flavor at
once, and the second day, even when fresh
ly caught they are not mt to eat.
Lightning plays some curious FRANKS.
Some time about the close Of the sixteenth
century, tradition says, storm broke over
Wells cathedral, while service was going
ON. The thunder was so terrible that the
congregation fell PROSTATE, and on rising
each one was marked with cross. Free
quently we hear Of the representation of a
neighboring object being imprinted on the
body Of victim; but, most peculiar, the
shoes of the persons struck have often been
torn from their feet and hurled to some
distance.
with such a danger liable to come upon
us at certain periods, 1t Is no wonder that
from time immemorial means Of preventing
or minimizing the danger have been sought
by philosophers and scientific men. Pliny.
in the belief that lightning never penetrated
more than six feet beneath the surface, ad-
vocated the retiring to deep caves during a
storm. Sealskins were also adopted by the
Romans to avert danger.
Most theories about electricity are unsat-
isfactory, and, although man can, to q
great extent, control the subtle fluid or
whatever it may be. he is us yet practically
unacquainted with its real nature. Does
lightning ascend or descend? 1t seems to
come from the clouds, yet there are SO very
many cases which tend to prove that the

dents. Leesburg met the general hall way
and arranged a reception for the guard.
The mayor of Leesburg, accompanied by a
number Of prominent citizens, rode out to
camp, to escort the commanding general
and staff to town. The party constituted
quite an imposing caValcade of horsemen
as 1t dashed along the road. When Lees
burG was reached the band had already
begun the concert, 1t being stationed direct
ly in front of the court house. The grounds
were thronged, were the portcos of the
leesburs Inn, facing the grounds. A de-
tai of guardsmen from camp were on duty
to keep the folks within proper bounds
After several selections had been rendered
the mayor, from the court house portico
delivered an address of welcome to the Ma
tional Guard. Remarks in the same direc-
ton were also made by judge of the county
court, leading business and professional
men of the town, and by well known con-
federate veteran
In response, General Harries stated that
after accommodating for several months in
quest of a desirable camp ground, where
the ladies would be beautiful and the men
courteous and all other fea lures equally
desirable and attractive. LeesburK had
been selected. He went on to say that If 1t
was desired that the National Guard should
again go into camp In this part of the
country the people must be very good and
behave themselves until the close of the
present encampment In conclusion he as
sured his hearers that himself and every
| member of the guard appreciated very
extended.
Col. Urell's Remarks.
Colonel Urell of the I'd Regiment also
addressed the assembiage. He stated that
during the civil war, while a member of
| the Union army, he tried with every en-
deavor to visit Leesburg, but was unable
| to accomplish his purpose, because of the
| fighting ability of the confederate forces.
| He was glad, he said, that the old hostility
| had disappeared and that he was able to be
at Leesburg now, the recipient Of such
bounteous hospitality.
The band concert was resumed, during
| the progress Of which refreshments were
| served In the court building to the officers.
At the conclusion of the concert the corps
of field music rendered a few selections
| the musicians being generously applauded
| As the climax to the speaking and music,
| a ball was given at the Leesburg Inn by the
young ladies of the town, in honor of the
guard. The brigade band stationed on the
| portico supplied the necessary music. The
affair was well arranged by Mr. II. q. Ter
