and actually went into the eountryh he sought and really started for home be fore his bit of diplomacy was diseoy- cred.
 The shroud of secrecy which hides the round robin from public view is believed by many to conceal one, in well defined form, directed against Gen. Grant. It was after the first day al Shiloh and the northern army had been driven back 10 the river. To the union generals there seemed no hope for the morrow. They could see nothing but utter annihilation, either by the fierce assaults of the rebels, CT by entering the water to drown. Some of them held a meeting and discus d the situation and a written protest was prepared. One of the generals known to be on very friendly terms with the command CT was selected to present the protest. Only the overwhelming fear for the army caused the selected officer to full fill his mission, which he did with many apologies, that he might not incur wrath upon his own head nor complete ly mar his future. Grant listened to the statements, read the protest, and invited the signers in. They came, ex- pecting the wrath of the commander, but were received cordially and Grant quietly spoke of his plans for the con tinuation of the battle. The listeners were surprised at the complete grasp of the situation held by Grant, and in ten minutes they were ready to admit they had overlooked so many points that Grant had carefully studied that they desired to withdraw the doeu- ment. They all went back to their re- spective commands, strong in confi- dence of victory and the wisdom of thelr commander But the document was not returned to them. Grant kept 1t, as it stood as protest against his plans in case of failure. When, however, the next days battle demonstrated that he was right and the others wrong, the paper was handed back to the man who had acted as the spokesman for the ob- jectors.
 Sherman, too was the victim of well defined plot to get him out of the way. It needed only a little encouragement from high sources for the charges to. take a more concrete form, though they had already been put into writing, The charges alleged insanity, and for several years grave doubts as to his mental condition hung az 8 pail over his life. Had not Grant believes so strongly in his ability and mental soundness, he might never have re- covered from the attack upon him.

 ROUND ROBINS OF HISTORY
This Peculiar Style of Protest Has Figured
 Prominently in the Worlds Affairs.

Presbyterian divines. The Covenant CTS would not be satisfied and the Bap- tists, Independents, Arminians nor any of the others would not down. The kings foreign wars were not sat isfactory to the people, and his policies, foreign and domestic, were condemned and rebellion broke out in Ireland. Be tween parliament and king there was great hostility and parliament refused to vote money to carry on the kings plans, or the wars. The king raised money by granting monopolies for the manufacture and sale of monopolies and usurped power in every eonceiY- able manner. The round robin pro dueed the parliament crisis, and Eng lands great civil war was on. Parlia- ment raised armies and so did the king. From the wreck of the throne of Charles, and the fall of the house of Stuart, arose Cromwell.
 No greatness is beyond the reach of the round robin. Even Alexander the Great, when at the zenith of his power, when to oppose him in any Nhim or wish was almost unfailing death to the opposer, was compelled to bow before the protest of his generals, who, after having made if, in fear and for protec- ton appealed to the soIdiery and were sustained by them. Alexander had conquered all the east that was known to the ancient Greeks and Chaldeans at that time, but he had heard vague re- ports of a country still further to the east and its fabulous wealth. He want ed to go, but the generals said they had gone far enough. When the rank and file said the same Alexander reluctantly started for home, marched in a circle

 X pretty gown of null embroidered in black chenille was made with long clinging skirt. The skirt has two wide tiounces of the null with a heavy ap- plique of yellow roses and green leaves. This has pure white null blouse with a short bolero jacket of sea green satin dotted with white silk dots, and the ap-

plique of yellow roses and green leaves around the bolero jacket. 1t is fast ened at the bust, and just below, with narrow green velvet ribbon.
 Another pretty gown was of blue foulard. The underskirt was entirely of white with a deep hounce of ecru lace. Over this deseends an oYerskirt with deep pointed front and back. This was composed of the blue foulard, and has tiny white flow CTS strewn over. This oYerslzirt has broad lace founce and inser- ton separated by band of the blue foulard. The bodice was made of the blue foulard with bands of the striped foulard forming V's in the back with the ecru lace. The sleeves were long and made entirely of the lace.
 Still another that attracted attention wasa stylish gown of fesh-colored crepe de chine. The first skirt was deep plaited crepe de chine. The polonaise, of the princess cut, had medallions of black chantilly lace at the hem, the medallions themselves being fastened by narrow white gauge ribbon bouiI- loned, and forming bow knots and scrolls. This polonaise closed at the back and was laced in its entire length The close-ftting bodice had an adorn- ment of the smaller medallions like those on the skirt. There was worn D long fesh-colored, scarf of the crepe de ehene covered with black chantilly lace, and deep lace frill at the end of the scarf SADIE MERRITT.

command of the duke of Marlborough over the English army It was the means by which the British sailors and the men of the navy preserved their rights, but while the instances of its use were frequent the results of none are traced.
 It is supposed to have been invented by Harmodius over 500 years before the birth of Christ. Harmodius was a beau- tiful and influential young man who unnecessarily opposed the efforts of Pisistradus to become tyrant of Greece. The tyrant's sons Hipparchus and Hip plus endeayored to win him over, and failing, publicly affronted Harmodius' sister at great festival. Aristogeiton and others entered into a conspiracy with Harmodius to kill the tyrant and his sons, their compact being written and signed in circular form. Owing to mistake but one of the sons was killed. Harmodius was killed on the spot and Aristogeiton was caught in the mountains. The reign of this house ended with the punishment of the sur yiving son, and Harmodius was inn mortalized in song as the deiyerer of people from tyranny.
 History is strangely silent upon this powerful agency for good or evil. It directly mentions but one in military affairs and one in private life-the round robin sent to Dr. Johnson on the subject of his epitaph on Goldsmith
 It was during the reign of Charles |. of England that warfare's great round robin is set, but almost obscured in the setting. Col. Savary, of the noble house of Devonshire, joined in the round robin presented to parliament. Sayary was the grandfather of Thomas Savary, a great engineer, inventor of the first steam engine, and of paddle wheels for boats, but who never thought to combine the two inventions to make a steamboat.
 This protest was far reaching in its results. It was presented to parliament at a time of discontent and turmoil that commenced early in the sixteenth century and continued through the seventeenth. Religion had much to do with the upheaval. Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Qua kers and all other sects were arrayed against each other and against all others favoring the ascepdancy of any particular sect, and all were in unity against the tendencies of the king to the Roman Catholic faith, and his announced intention to marry 8 Cath olic, of the royal house of France. In vain did Charles attend the services of Scotch, and displace Episcopalians by

7HEN Teddy Roosevelt and his
brother officers at Santiago

RN de Cuba joined in the famous round robin, in protest against the keeping of Gen. Shafter's army in Cuba, the seeming boldness was most aston ishing to the country. It was perhaps the first round robin in American his tory to reach the public. That paved the way for the round robin of the newspaper correspondents in Manila protesting against the strict news cen sorship exercised by Gen. Otis,
 The round robin is protest against a superior officer, by those under him, the signatures being in circular form, like spokes from a wagon wheel, so that no one may be deemed more de- serving of the superior's i'll will by reason of having headed the list or instigated the protest. The form was earliest known among the Athenians, who are believed to have been the in ventors of it. The Romans borrowed it for use in social life and forms, so that they might avoid the appearance of having a favorite among guests, friends or slaves, and wrote their names in circle so that no one should be first or last. The old Romans, too, used this form in the manumission of slaves in excess of the number allowed by law, so as to avoid declaring prefer ences, but the tribunals declared that such manumissions were invalid and none were freed under these doeu- ments.

The Belfast Schools.

The school for delinquent pupils opened
Monday. The grammar grade is in charge
of Miss Bertha l. Bird, and the primary of
Miss Ida B. Roberts. There are 90 pupils in
each grade.
The South Primary school building is
undergoing extensive improvements and re-
pairs. The plans call for an excavation for
cellar under about one-half of the building
IN which to place furnace to take the place
of the five stoves heretofore used, and closets
for the boys. On the second floor. off the
anteroom on the right Of the entrance will
be closets for girls. Ventilator shafts are to
be put in to ventilate all the rooms. and the
woodwork vanished or painted When the
work of excavation began it was found that
there was merely trench wall three feet
deep under the building, and a poor wall at
that. The southeast corner had settled bad
ly. and the whole front wall was in bad
shape. Mayor Poor, Alderman Rankin and
others after looking the matter over decided
that new and substantial wall must be put
under the building where the excavation ex
tended, and the work is now in progress. A
cess pool has been built for use until sew er
connection can be had, and a cellar drain
laid. The cellar floor will be cemented.
When the work is completed the building
will meet all requirements for many years.
