GENERAL lAWTON.
How and where He Met His
Death-Bil1s Introduced by
Senator FaiEbanks and
Representative Landis to
Pension His widow.

MANILA, Philippine Island, Decem-
Der l9.-Major General Henry w.
Lawton was killed at San Mateo this
morning. He was standing in front
of his troops and was shot in the
breast He died Immediately.
General Lawton left here Monday
night, having returned from his
northern operations last Saturday,
to lead the expedition through the
Mariquina valley, which has been an
insurgent stronghold throughout the
war. The valley has several times
been invaded, but never held by the
Americans. General Geronomo was
supposed TO have there the largest
organized force north of Manila, and
General Otis wished to garrison
Mariquina
The night was one of the worst of
the season. A terrific rain had be-
gun and is continuing. Accompanied
by his stall and troop /, fourth cav
airy, General Lawton set out at 8
O'Clock in advance of the main force,
consisting of the eleventh cavalry
and one battalion each of the TWEEN
tieth and twenty-seventh infantry,
which started from La Iona at mid
night. With a small escort he led
the way through an almost pathless
co Intry, a distance of fifteen mile
over hills and through cane brake
and deep mud, the horses climbing
the rocks aud sliding down the hills.
Before daybreak the command had
reached the head of the valley.
San Mateo was attacked at 3
o clock and three hours fight en-
sued This resulted in but a few
casualties on the American side apart
from the death of General Lawton,
but the attack was difficult because
of the natural defenses of the town.
General Lawton was walking along
the firing line within 300 yards of "a
small sharpshooters' trench, conspic
uous in the big white helmet he al
ways wore and light yellow rain
coat. He was also easily distin
guishable on account of his com
manding stature.
The sharpshooters directed several
close shots which clipped the grass
near by. His staff officers called
General Lawton 5 attention to the
danger he was IN, but he only laughed
with his usual contempt for bullets.
Suddenly he exclaimed: Il am
shot, clenched his hands in a des-
perate effort to stand erect, and fell
into the arms of staff officer. Or
derlies rushed across the field for
surgeons, who dashed up immediate
ly, but their efforts were useless.
The body was taken to clup of
bushes and laid on stretcher, the
familiar white helmet covering the
face of the dead general.

ALL IN THE CEMETERY.
to Secure n Fiat Where Chill
dren Are Barred.

Out at the Queen Anne fats there is
an ironcIad rule that no family with
children shall be permitted to take a
lease of an apartment. This rule and
the situation of the building initiate
against the filling of the flats, but the
agent succeeded in making fair show
ing, none the less. One day while won
dering if he would receive any more
applications before the rush season
was ended a large, portly and red-faced
woman dressed in black entered the Of
fee.
She wanted a fiat and had inspected
the premises. She fancied the third of
a certain row and was willing to make
an advance right then. The terms were
agreed upon and the papers drawn up.
when the agent said:
eve cannot permit any children in
those flats. Have you any?"
The woman sobbed aloud. She coyly
admitted to having had seven, but said
between her gasps: ''They are all now
in the cemetery, sir.
The agent was sympathetic and con-
soling. The papers were signed, the
keys delivered and the new tenant de-
parted wiping her eyes, while her
shoulders heaved with woe. The next
time the agent went there for rent he
was met by a bunch of children who
cIambered the stairs with him and
seemed very much at home. He went
to the fat on the third floor and was adj
mitted.
'.Are these your children, ma'am ?''
he asked of the portly tenant.
ssCeveD arr. sir - was the FeDIV
'sBut you told me all of yours were
dead.''
Indeed I did not, sir. What said
was that they were in the cemetery, and
they were. Their father was out of a
job and he took them out to the GENE
terry on a picnic. Chicago Chronicle.

Use Pure-Bred Roosters.

With a small flock of Is hens, which
should raise during the season a hun
dred chickens easily, the use of full
blood cock of some large breed will add
100 pounds to those hundred chickens
if allowed to grow to maturity. The
extra hundred pounds of flesh will be
laid on without any additional cost of
feeding, for a scrub chicken eats as
much as ful1-blooded one. This gain
can be made by the purchase of single
good rooster, and should not cost over
three dollars at most.-Guy E. Mitchell,

little above the medium height, but
of gigantic breadth of shoulder and
strength of limb.
My attention was first attracted to
these men in a daily prayer-meeting for
colored men "'way forward on the
gun deck of the receiving ship Vermont.
A mob of rough Irishmen had gath
cred to guy them with coarse jests,
oaths and ridicule, throwing old shoes
and other available missiles at the heads
of the kneeling figures, and making the
one who was leading" in prayer an
especial mark. The calmness with
which the two men received insults and
singing blows and the lofty, almost
parental, tenderness which they mani
tested towards their tormentors was
something the like of which I had never
before witnessed.
From Jim Gresham, an English boat
swain's mate, 1 learned the particulars
of an event which occurred a little be-
fore became a member of the crew.
A fire, which may have been smolder-
ing for weeks in the coal-bunkers, sud
denly burst forth with such violence
that the coal-heavers, firemen and en-
gineers were driven out by the heat,
smoke and gas.
All hands were called to fire quarters,
and the matches were closed securely
to smother the fire. The great hose
was stretched out and the pump started.
The executive officer in a few words
explained the situation to the men; that
to save the ship the coal bunkers must
be deluged; that to carry the hose be-
low in the gas and smoke and endure
the enveloping clouds of steam that
would be produced, was desperate IN
dertaking, and he ended by calling for
two volunteers.
After a few moments of silence, the
burly forms of Lyman Hyde and Henry
Jackson moved to the front, and with
their customary quiet cheerfuIness
each announced: 'I1l go, sir" ''I'l1 go,
SIR
When the ropes were tied about IN
der their arms, and they disappeared
down the iron ladder under the envel-
oping tarpaulin, dragging the great
hose after them, no one expected to see
them alive again.
A little later two limp bodies.
scorched, suffocated, apparently life
less, were drawn up and laid on the
deck, the hatch covers were removed,
and soon others were enabled to go be-
low and complete the work that saved
the ship. Hyde and Jackson were re-
stored to life, and after weeks of suffer
ing to health.-New Voice.

MEETINGS OF FARMERS.
How Many Evenings Can BE Spene

other many dollars by doing so.
have known man to buy an imple-
ment, and on trying it find it worth
less, or next thing to it; and the follow
ing year his neighbor bought one of
the same kind, only to throw it aside
soon after. If the first could have
stated his experience with it at meet
ing of his neighbors the second would
have kept his money. If a certain kind
of coal or other article that almost
every family in the neighborhood
uses is better than another that fact
may be learned at these meetings. If
one desires to butcher a beef, but can
use only one quarter of it, he can easily
dispose of the other three-quarters at
one of these meetings. The principal
benefits to be derived from these neigh
borly gatherings lies in the social ex-
change of actual experiences, wants,
etc. Very often person can give more
informa ton that is of practical value
to his neighbors in 20 words than an
essayist or ''orator of the evening" can
in a thousand or more. If these meet
ings are made valuable and informing
they will not be discontinued soon. If
they are merely ornamental-to give
Miss Smith an opportunity to surprise
the neighborhood with an operate
song, or young sophomore Jones to
cleave the air with one of his college
orations, or old Mr.. Robinson to give
an hours talk on nothing in particular
they will soon perish. When man
who has passed the flush of youth at
tends meeting of any sort, and finds
that he has learned something of real
value to him, he will be on hand at the
next. To be sure, little ornament is
an attraction, but usefulness is the card
that draws and holds.-Fred Grundy,

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Do not feed too much soft feed.
Keep four ducks to one drake.
Never use imperfect fowls for breed
ing.
Feed milk and bran for growth, milk
and meal to fatten.
Generally, the better the scratcher
the better the layer.
When you get ready to fatten fowls,
do the work quickly.
Separate the cocks from the hens;
they mott better alone.
Game chickens, given a free range, are
in danger of being overfed.
Get rid of the hens you do not intend
to keep through the winter.
Hens require variety of food; they
get excessively tired of one kind.
The most successful fanciers are
those that keep one or two breeds.
Hens should be killed when they are
three years old; they lay fewer eggs
after that.
Grain is sufficient in lime and mineral
matter, but bran is rich in nitrogen and
carbon.
Scalding fowls before picking partial
1y cooks the delicate skin, rendering it
dry and wrinkled.
While linseed and cottonseed meals
are excellent foods, too much of them
will cause loss of feathers.
1t rarely pays to spend much time try
ing to cure bad case of roup or egg
bound in hens. Use the Ratchet.
When your birds have bowel disease,
change the food for few days and at
the same time change the grit.-St
Louis Republic.

some Advice to Shippers.

Don't fail carefully to inspect your
shipment before closing the box. Put
in the memorandum on your own bill
head, or an envelope, showing the count
and other data. Keep duplicate your
self, and thereby save much annoy
ance and frequently loss. Don't chase
off into new market with untried peo-
pie just because of a possible temporary
advantage. Nine times out of ten you
will lose. Keep in touch with good
house in several markets, and use judg-
ment in shipping to any of them. Watch
the reports and forecasts, and then al
low for weather ges.-A Few Hens

lame fowls Arc UseIe.s.

If the hen gets lame and continues
so it is generally better to send her to
the kettle. It has been the experience
of many that a lame fowl stands round
so much that she gets fat and stops
laying. The queer thing is that she
will be found to have no signs of eggs
in her. This seems to be due to the
fact that the fat has increased to such
an extent that the formation of even
embryonic eggs is discontinued. Why
a fat fowl should stop forming eggs it
is difficult to say. but it is a fact.-Farm-
ers' Review.

THE BREAD WE EAT.
Be More Nourishing Than
That from White.

It is commonly supposed that whole
meal bread is more nourishing than
ordinary white bread because it con-
tains a higher proportion of nitro
genous and mineral substances. But,
as we have frequently pointed out, the
heterogeneous value of given food is not
necessarily indicated by an empirical
chemical analysis. Not all heterogeneous
substances are feeding stuffs, and fur
her, it does not follow that the quanti-
ty of food partaken of is the quantity of
food assimilated. In other words, eat
ing is not necessarily feeding. There
are many substances containing a very
high proportion of nitrogen which are
valueless as food stuffs, and on the con-
trary there are many edible materials
which contain comparatively small
proportion of heterogeneous substances,
which, however. are completely avail
able for nourishing the organism. We
now know that it is not enough for
chemical analysis to record merely the
proportion of heterogeneous substances;
the nature of these substances must be
declared, without which the food value
of a given substance cannot be esti-
mated.
II was N1OAC-
meal bread contained more nitrogen
than white bread, but in the light of re-
cent analysis this is not true. Whether
or not, however, whoIemeal bread is SUI
perior as regards its heterogeneous con-
tents, it is certainly inferior as regards
its digestibility. This may be at
tributed in a large measure to the fact
that wholemeal bread contains compar-
atively large, indigestible and irritating
articles of husk. There seems, however.
no reason for doubling that wholemeal
bread would be much more digestible
if the branny particles were finely COM
minuted. In several patent breads the
germ of the wheat is retained, which
adds considerable to the heterogeneous
value of the bread. But the germ of
wheat tends to excite Preventative
changes in the sponge" and produce
an unpalatable loaf. Several processes,
however, have been devised which avert
the possibility of this undesirable eff
feet.
We do not believe that with the i'm
provements in machinery generally the
dietetic value of bread has pari passu
increased. We still hold that more
nourishing article, as it is certainly
more palatabIe, is the oId-fashioned
farmhouse loaf, which presents a gold
wheaton color rather than the blanched
appearance which seems to be looked
upon as a guarantee Of quality in the
modern white loaf. Our own labora-
tory experience, at any rate, shows that
probably on account of the increased
employment of roller-miIling processes
the important mineral constituents of
white bread have very materially di-
minished. When it is considered that
these constituents play a not unim-
portant part in supplying the bone
forming factors of the organism this
fact assumes a serious Importance and
may even throw light upon the preva-
lence of dental decay. On the other
hand, whoIemeal bread and germ bread
contain an enhanced proportion of min
eral salts, such as the phosphates of
lime and potash, which are necessary in
the building up OF the entire human
frame.-LondOn Lancet.

ALWAYS A HERO.
When a Lieutenant In the Civil War
Admiral Dewey Did Heroic
Work.

Col. Jim" Morgan, now resident of
Washington, was famous confederate
leader, and he was one of the officers
who, after the loss of the cause for
which they fought so hard, went to
Egypt and enlisted in the service of the
khedive. Said he the other day:
Its odd that people didn't know
that hero before. We, of the old confed-
eracy, knew it long ago. Don't you rqs
member how the United States ship
Mississippi was run down by one of our
ships and sunk? Well, Dewey was a
lieutenant on board her, and he and his
gun crew stood by the gun he had Il
charge until the vessel was almost IN
der water. In fact, the water was up
to the muzzle of the gun when the last
shot was fired. Then, because it was
too late to escape in any other way, the
future victor of Manila got out through
a portfolio and swan for it.
why, Dewey was always hero, +"
continued the colonel. ''In his class at
the naval academy he was always at
the top of everything, except in his
studies. He was a splendid athlete, a
boxer and fencer. One thing he hated
4AhC Tie O0Nh QOSS nOIJ WdGCI was a
bully. Though far from being quarrel
some himself, he would hunt fight
with any fellow who attempted to inn

strength. Any town boy who developed
reputation as a bully was sure to fall
foul of George Dewey, and to get a
licking, too. I don't think he was even
beaten in a fight.'-N. 7. Journal

BRAVE CONFEDERATE spy.
He WAS Silent on the ScaROId Though
Confession Would Have
Saved Him.

One of the purest and bravest men
knew, says Rev. C. E. w. Dobbs, dur
ing the war for the union, was Sam
Davis, a famous confederate scout, who
met his death on the scaffold at Pulaski,
Tenn, in the summer of 1864. His mem
DRY is cherished in middle Tennessee as
that of a martyr patriot. Davis was
one of the most reliable and daring
scouts in the southern ranks, and to
him were committed some of the most
dangerous missions within the federal
lines. In executing one of these pc
culiarly hazardous expeditions he was
captured and thrown into a military
prison. Some discriminating papers
were found upon him-papers the au-
thor of which was quite important to
ascertain. He was summarily tried by
.court-martial and sentenced to die upon
Ithe scaffold.
Davis was placed in charge of a
young captain of about the same age
as his prisoner. Between the two there
developed a congeniality which rapid
ly ripened into mutual esteem and
friendship. The young captain was au-
1thorized to offer life and freedom to
Davis if he would reveal the source of
the information contained in the in
eliminating papers.
81 cannot be false to my comrades or
to friends of our cause within the union
4ines,'' was his UNMARRIED and decided an
swer."
Again and again was he importuned
TO save lis life by divulging the names
of his corfederates. To all such i'm
portu2ity he heroicaHy turned deaf
car, declaring his determination to die
with the secret buried in his bosom.
PERHAPS the severest test of his cour-
age WAS when his affianced, a lovely
young woman of northern Alabama,
found her way through the union lines
and Vas accorded an interview with
her condemned lover. They were per-
mittod a private interview. Even to the
loved one he positively refused to yield
the coveted information. She pleaded:
''Sam, if you love me and your dear
old mother weeping for you at home,
beg you to save your life"
Il do love you, jamie, and my heart
is breaking almost as 1 think of moth
er, but" His voice quivered and ut
terance almost failed him, but he quick
ly recovered his composure and firmly
finished his sentences: ''There are occa-
sions and circumstances when ones
