Workingmen in the Southern
States are beginning to realize what
Protection and prosperity mean to
them. Ten thousand miners EN-.
ployed by the Tennessee Coal and
Iron and Railroad Company, and
the Sloss Iron and steel Company,
will receive a fourth advance in
wages OF 2 IL per cent. per ton.
Since March last, there has been a
total raise of ten cents per ton, or
20 per cent. Wages OF miners
were never before SO high as now.
This is due to the continued rise in
pig iron prices, which, in connec-
tion with the sliding wage scale,
accounts for successive advances.
The mines are running steady, a
heretofore unknown in
the summer season. No wonder
the American policy Of defending |
home industries is making head
way in the South. Economist.

did not rattle the blacks at all When
they reached the crossing, which was
some time after the head of the column
passed there and lost many men, the
blacks stood in line under fire, and as
the shells passed overhead saluted them
sarcastically, counting the Spaniards
poor marksmen.
After alternately halting and moving
about along the river for over an hour
the regiment was lined up beside the
rough riders for attack upon "Kettle
Hill, !" an elevation or spur between the
river and San Juan ridge When the
barbed wire fence blocked their way,
the blacks rooted out the posts and tore
down the interlaced strands, all the time
under fire.
With one gallant rush altogether, not
the black alone, not the rough riders
alone, not the white regulars alone, but
in continuous line, the cavalry column
swept up the first slope In going up
the Tenth lost officers and men, but
marched in good order TO the house ON
the hill, and the flag was planted in the
ground under fire from the ridge be-
yond and from San Juan blockhouse,
which the enemy still held.
On "Kettle Hill" the cavalry closed
ranks and then dashed down into q
hollow lying between the hill and the
ridge, the blacks cheering in all the ex-
ultation of battle. So desperate was this
rush for the main ridge that organixa-
tion was lost, and whites and blacks in
dividually fought shoulder to shoulder.
There was no difference in the bravery
displayed. On San Juan ridge the Tenth
struck its trenches nearest to Santiago,
and held on two days, losing officers
and men. For its charge that first day
the Tenth was highly praised.
One black sergeant, Foster, took conn
mand of his company after the white
officers had fallen and led it up the
hill He was rewarded by commission
in the immune volunteers, and SO were
three of his black comrades Fender
grass, Givens and Ray.
The Tenth lost II officers out of %
at Santiago and 100 men ont Of 375.
The regiment was organized in 1867
with the noted cavalryman, B. II.
Grierson, as colonel. General ]. K
Mizner, another noted cavalry leader,
followed Grierson, and the colonel at
the outbreak of the war was Guy v.
Henry. Lieutenant Colonel Theo. A.
Baldwin led it in Cuba.

The Pathos and Tragedy of Emma

The Pathos and Tragedy of Emno
Abbott's Passing Away.
One night in the city Of Denver.
located at the foot and in plain view of
the Rocky mountains, Emma Abbott
was billed to appear in Faust " In tho

ful 1s-year-old girl, belonging to one ct

and genial, SO I can hear Miss Abbott

pass away peacefully and without one
single regret. But there came with the
queen of the lyric stage northern hur-
ricane-with the very air charged with

Some one told Miss Abbott Of the grew
GUS disappointment Of the dying girl
She went to the opera house and never
sang more sweetly, and as soon as Il
was over and the audience dismissed
called her carriage and directed IL t.
drive to the home Of the young lady.
The scene which followed was worthy
Of the finest brush ever welded by the
grand old masters There lay the dying
earth angel. with pallid lips, hectic
cheeks and lustrous eyes and the light
of immortal beauty shining upon hes
face. Standing beside her, in one Of hen
richest robes (the one she had worn that
night. sparkling with pearls. rubies
and diamonds. stood the almost divine
mistress of earthly melody.
The first piece rendered was ."The
Old Folks at Home, and then followed
~ Know My Redeemer Liveth." The
finale of this weird scene was "Rock Of
Ages Cleft For Me, Let Me Hide Myself
In Thee. And then Miss Abbott bent
over the frail form and kissed her an
eternal farewell. Soon after the spirit
passed into the wild winds whica rang
through the wild mountains near by

kneeling at her door. Angels of the

to her voice in the sickroom and sent
for her to come home to them.

Iasked the white leaders OF the Tenth

for better soldiers in battle" The Tenth
came under fire while passing down the
San Juan road, just behind the balloon
when it was high in the air drawing
Spanish fire. Bullets and shrapnel aimed
at the balloon fell into the ranks, but
