Lieutenant Jonas Lien Killed - Gallant
Charge.
Tuesday afternoon word was receiv-
ed here that fierce battle had taken
place north of Manila in which the
South Dakota boys led q gallant
charge against Aguinaldo's picked
troops. driving them out Of the
trenches and slaughtering many, but
several OF our brave sons fell mortally
wounded or instantly killed. Lieut..
Jonas II. Lien, who was born and
raised here was among those killed
and the news of his death cast deep
gloom over this city, as he was loved
by all who knew him.
THAT GALLANT CHARGE.
NEW YORK, March 29.-The Jour-
nails Manila dispatch gives the follow
ing story Of the charge at MarliaO:
The Pennsylvania, South Dakota
and Nebraska volunteer regiments,
with a machine gun, were sent to at
tack the right flank of the rebel posi-
tion. A terrific sustained fire from
the machine gun was turned upon the
trenches, but the insurgents were not
dislodged.
In the trenches were Aguinaldo's
picked men, safely sheltered, who sent
back killing fire. Something had to
be done to silence them. 1t was done.
Suddenly from out the curtain Of
smoke that enveloped the American
lines, the South Dakota regiment
sprang, cheering and shouting like
demons. Colonel Frost himself was
at their head, sword aloft.
"Come on, men," he cried, but they
needed no urging.
Not a man faltered. Across the
open field they swept, with lines a.
most as perfect as when they gave
their farewell dress parade at home
before departing for the Philippines.
Every gun in the trenches was turn
ed on them. Man after man dropped
in his tracks. Men staggered forward,
reeled and went down, but this only
served to increase the dash of the reg
iment.
The ranks were closed up and the
line of heroes, bayonets ready, ven-
geance shining in their faces, swept
on like a terrible avalanche.
Lieut.. Lien fell, m0rtally wounded.
Lieutenants Adams and Morrison
were killed at almost the same mo-
ment.
Beside the three lieutenants, four
privates were killed and Lieutenant
McClelland and twenty-five enlisted
men were badly wounded.
The troops are still pushing forward
and find the country totally devestat-
ed. The insurgents are fleeing north
ward and it is said Aguinaldo has
deserted Malolos and gone to San
Fernando.

IN CHESS CIRCLES.

In the Han Ia Walker match a game was
started last Saturday and not finished. and
too much has been going on this week to
allow its being finished.
In the local tourney this has been un-
fortunate week for Mr.. Woodward. who
finished a postponed game with Mundelle
and lost, and lost a well-played game to
Campbell This lets Mr.. Harris past Wood
ward for second place. The others remain
unchanged from Last weeks report.
1t was a source of regret at the club that
three of the best players were not present
to take part in the blndfold games against
Mr Pillsbury. Messrs. Hanna. Tharp and
O'Farrell are strong team, and if present
would have given good account of them
selves. An additional won and drawn
game would have been almost a certainty,
with a possibility of better results from
those three.
With win in the Simultaneous exhibi-
ton and draw in the bindfold. Mr.. w. H.
Smith came out with about the best re-
suits of any. Mr. Pillsbury laughingly told
him that he had enough Of him.
Great credit given Mr.. Allen Prender
for the very careful and Intelligent manner
in which he discharged the duty of making
Mr.. PillSbury's moves and reporting lose
of his opponents to him on the occasion of
the bindfold performance Wednesday
night. On both sides about 800 moves We're
MADE. All IlliSDuTy moves were lndue
by Mr.. Prender, and all without mistake
He is young player of fine abilities. thor
oughly familiar with the nomenclature Of
the boards, and was asked to perform this
task from his known fitness.
BY 10 o'clock next morning quite a num-
Der of the previous nights blindfold con-
testants had gathered, and such another
batch of post-mortems hasn't been seen
around here for many a day, at which all
look in perfect seriousness outwardly and
smile inwardly, for all have been there
1T might have been ought to be placed
in blazing letters on the walls of every
chess club. But it capped the climax when
Pillsbury came in later in the day and
made it plain to Mr.. Walker that he, too,
had a Won game on him, but didn't quite
get there. That's a disease that every
chess player suffers from and never recov-
ers or even has slight improvements from
time to time.
MIR. Barsodi, editor American Chess Mag
aZine, and manager of Mr.. Pillsbury's tour,
spent the evening at the club rooms. He
states that the last two weeks of the tour
viii be through England, previous to the
great International tourney at London dur
ing May.
The payment for Mr.. Pillsbury's services
takes the form of twenty annual subscrip-
tons to the American Chess Magazine,
which cannot be to individuals. but must
be to public institutions. Clubs and insti-
tutions having chess as a part of their re-
creations may obtain a copy by applying
to F. B. Walker, secretary Washington

From the New York Tribune
La sainte cIeche-the holy cradle-or the
portion of il which is preserved is, in fact,
only a part of the grating that was placed
across the stable trough in Bethlehem to
hold the fodder for the animals that fed
there 1t became the cradle of the infant
Savior when He was laid within the rough
trough by His mother, and came in time to
be regarded as one of the most sacred
things on earth. This broken piece of the
grating was taken from Bethlehem at the
time of the Mussulman invasion in the year
642, and was carried to Rome, where Pope
Theodisius took charge of it as one of the
most precious of relics
Whether or not the grating now shown
is the true relic. it is certainly extremely
old, and is interesting for that reason and
because of associations that have gathered
about it since it became one of the memen-
tos cherished in the imperial city. 1t is one
of the greatest treasures of the ancient
Church of Santa Maria Maggiore.
1t consists of five worn bars; these are
OF wood-worm-eaten and gray, that looks
as though 1t might be oak powdered with
flour. The bars average about ninety CEN
timsters in length-nearly a yard-and the
entire grating is suspended in a crystal
case by silver ribbons
This case is supported on carved gold and
silver feet, and its full length is a meter
its height half meter. 1t is surmounIed
