Riders had even placed them in advance
of Gen. Lawton, who commanded the ad-
vance troops.
He declared that the riders were am
pushed in the fight of Las Guisamas, of
which battle none of the commanding gen
erals knew anything about until it was
over. Neither Col. Wood nor Lieut.. Col.
Roosevelt had any orders to go to the
front, the lecturer declared. He had talk
ed after the fight with fourteen Rough
Riders and all had told him they had not
seen a Spaniard dead or avile during the
entire engagement. Either one of two
things happened" he exclaimed. THE men
under Roosevelt were either alnbushed or
they were murdered"
In response to an inquiry from an auditor
if he intended to say anything favorable
to Roosevelt, Mr.. Mcintosh promptly re-
piled: NO He has already done that for
himself
In concluding his remarks about Col.
Roosevelt, the lecturer claimed that every
act of the officer was due to politics or the
effect it would have upon his political
future.
Mr.. Mcintosh vigorously criticised the in
capacity of the administration of the army
under Shafter, and was particularly severe
on the inadequacy of the medical service.

The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Of Di.criminat ton Against Blind
Mammal. syiSestsr's Response.

Chief Sylvester Of fhe police force as was
stated recently in The Star. has directed
his men to keep street musicians off the
business thoroughfares, and he is consd-
ering the subject Of the semi-dependent
class. with view to reducing it to min
imum. These facts appear in a report
which Maj. Sylvester has made to the Dis
trict Commissioners, in response to COM
plant ma lie by Mr.. H. c. Hunter of the
United States geological survey Office.
MAY 1 inquire" wrote Mr.. Hunter to the
Commissioners. ''by what right. or by what
kind of justice, the police officer on duty
at the corner of 11th and streets orders
a blind man to cease playing an innocent,
low toned instrument, and permits a dirty,
filthy Italian, with dirty monkey, to un-
ceasingly grind out in screechy, inharmon-
ious tones the Commonest of songs, within
100 feet of him? The blind man should be
pitied and helped. and is certainly not an
objectionable character to a we'll balanced
mind, but these foreigners, who should be
driven out of the city, are an insufferable
lot, and make life a burden to those who
have to listen to their noise from morning
Until night on F street daily. | think the
matter should be considered"
Chief SyIvester's Report.
The matter was referred by the Commits
sioners to Chief Sylvester. who. after ascer-
tanning from Lieut.. Amiss of the first pre-
| cinct the number of blind persons selling
/ lead pencils and playing musical instru-
| ments the streets and localities fire.
| quented by them, reported as follows to the
| Commissioners:
The blind man was ordered to cease
| playing, at the request of the mana gem, nj
| of a well known business house, and the
right of the police officer is assured him
| by the police regulations; indeed. the Off
| Ger was lenient when he permitted the
| man to go his way without having to an
| swer for not having the required permit.
| THE blind mendicants and itinerant mu.
| sicians, without regard to nationality, have
| long been subjects of controversy in large
| cities. There are those who pity the blind
and those who find pleasure in listening IL

| watching the antics of the monkey, ant
there are others, belonging to the Anti
Society who condemn anything which par

The Size of the Sun.

From PearsOn's Weekly. 81
The earth on which we stand is no doubt.
a mighty globe, measuring as it does 5000
miles in diameter, yet what are its dimen-
sions in comparison with those of the sun?
If the earth be represented by a grain of
mustard seed, then on the same scale the
sun should be represented by a cocoanut
Perhaps. however, a more impressive con-
ception of the dimensions of the great orb
of day may be obtained in this way: Think
of the moon, the queen of the night, which
circles monthly around our heavens pur-
suing as she does majestic track at a
distance of 2+0,OO1 miles from the earth.
Yet the sun is so vast that If 1t were a hol-
low ball the moon could revoive in the orbit
which 1t now follows and still be entirely
Enclosed within the suns interior
For every acre the surface of our
globe there are more than 10000 acres on
the surface of the great lumnary
Every portion of this illimitable desert of
lame Is pouring forth torrents of heat. 1t
has indeed, been estimated that If the heat
which is necessarily flowing through any
single square foot of the suns exterior
could be collected and applied beneath the
boilers of an Atlantic liner it would suffice
10 produce steam enough to sustain in con-
tinuous movement those engines of 80 Go0
horse power, which enable a superb shin
TO break the record between Ireland and
America
