AMERICAN GENERALS.
Two Who Are Splendid Types OF the
Courageous American
Soldier.

We had not seen the fight of the cav
airy brigade, says Frederic Remington
in Harper's Monthly, because we were
not at the front. We would not let it
happen again. We slung our packs and
most industriously plodded up the Via
del Rey until we got to within hailing
distance of the picket posts, and he
said: "Now, Frederic, we will stay
Here. They will pull off no more fights
of which we are not party of the first
part" And stay we did. If Gen. Law
ton moved ahead, we went up and cult
waited Lawton; but if Gen. Chaffee got
ahead, we were his friends, and gath
cred at his mess fire. To be popular
with US it was necessary to have COM
mand Of the advance.
But what satisfying soldiers Lawton
and Chaffee are! Both seasoned. pro-
fessional military types. Lawton, big
and long, forceful and with iron deter
mination. Chaffee, who never dis
mounts; but for a little. sleep during the
darkest hours Of the night and whose
head might have been presented to him
by one Of Williams Norman barons.
Such a head! We used to SIT around and
study that head. It does not belong to
the period: it is remote, when the race
was young and strong; and it, has war

THE ABDUCTED HEIRESS
nr. Perof Will Go TO London After
His Grandd auqhfer.

Baltimore, Md, July 28.-William H.
Perot, accompanied by a detective
who has been invested by the state
department with the powers of a
United States marshal, sailed for Lon
don Wednesday on the steamer Ma
jestic, to make a contest in the Eng
ksh courts for the recovery of his
granddaughter, who was abducted by
her mother ten days ago. The mother
and child sailed from Montreal last
Saturday The state department has
cabled a request to the English au-
thorities to arrest and detain the wo
man and child until the requisition
papers arrive Mr. Perot has engaged
counsel in London.
There is a consensus of opinion
among a number OF prominent law
yers here that Mrs. Perot VIII not be
delivered over to the United States on
the strength OF the charge of abduc-
ton, and as therd is no other
charge against her, she will not re-
turn to the United States nor permit
her child to he taken from her with
out ler cOnS6VC. L ne English courts,
they hold, VIII hardly agree that a
mother can albduct her own child in
the sense recognized in law as abduc-
ton OF kidnapping under the circum-
stances presented in the case. 1t is
also suggested that, as it was Mrs.
Perot who obtained the divorce from
her husba nd, she is in a strong posi-
ton, legally and otherwise. The Mr..
Blood who has been mentioned in
connection with the case is, it is
stated, an English barrister, and also
a relative of Lady Colin Campbell It
is further said that Mr. Blood has for
some time been paying court to Mrs
Perot, and 1T is not improbable that
marriage may be the outcome.

the little girl, s not in London, as was

BRIGHT MEN HAVE BIG HEADS.
A Man With a Small Head Cannot &c
to Be President

"All things being equal" said the
phrenologiz'., ''size is the measure OF
power. That is, a man with a small
head cannot get to be president of the
United States, nor can real small
man attain to that position. They
have comparison of the man who
have been presidents OF our nation,
consisting of the relative size Of their
heads and their respective weights,
which goes to show that they have
been tall men and that they have mad
large heads.

THE PRINCE TRICKED HIN.
Sold inherited Painting of a Madonna
and il Was Against the Law.

Nearly a century of experience with
the law that f0rbids princes to sell
by auction the old masters that they
have inherited-lest the purchaser
should take tham out OF Italy-has not
exhausted their way Of evading it, The
prosecutions that the royal govern
ments have in turn attempted under it
have usually proved affective, while
increasing need Of money steadily
quickens the culprits' ingenuity. The
newest trick is Prince Chigi's. who
had Madonna by BOtticeli. of much
beauty and unquesti0ned authenticity,
to sell the other day, and who sue
ceeded by a delusive show of frank
ness. The ministry of public instruc-
ton, which is responsible for the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law
learned his purpose and duly warned
him that he must not sell the picture
by auction or to a purchaser who
would remove it beyond the frontier
He in return babe the minister to have
no anxiety. He did not intend to sell
the Madonna by public sale, and he
would provide full information as to
the purchaser.
Meantime, at a hint from the prince,
several dealers and private collectors
or their representatives had come to
Rome. In due course the prince in
yited them TO luncheon and incidental
ly showed them his galleries. The
talk turned on the little Madonna by
Botticelli, with the angel profferfng
grapes and corn to the infant Christ
akin to the familiar Virgin of the Rose
in the Louvre. For his part, Prince
Chigi valued it, say, at $4,000 Most
of his guests, however set higher
worth upon it, and several of them,
after their exchange CT opinions. in
creased their estimates. One even ven
tured as high as 500, 900. No one gain
said him. and the conversation turned
into other channels.
Next morning the minister of public
instruction received letter, os7ens-
IDLY written by citizen and a resident
Of Rome, stating that he had Just
bought the Child Madonna. Again
the minister need have no anxiety. The
he would see. was a Roman
whose only wish was to keep the pic
ture for his own pleasure Now. l.
allan law requires such declarations to
be made upon stamped paper of pre-
scribed size, and a dutiful clerk forth
with informed the seeming purchaser
OF his error. After a tIifiing delay he
reotifed it. As soon as an inspector
from the ministry had seen the picture
and countersigned the declaration the
necessary f0rmalities would be com
pIe'se
When, however, the inspector ar
rived, there was no Madonna to be
found at the address that the honest
had given. The jewellers in

II is a remarkable fact that water
which flows naturally into the gulf of
California and thence into the Pacific
ocean has been virtually lifted across
the backbone Of the Rocky mountains
and now, after being used for irriga-
ton, finds its way to the gulf Of Mexi-
co. A number Of small streams on
the other side Of Longs peak, which
flow into Grand lake and thence into
the Colorado river, have been diverted
BY a ditch that finds its way through a
pass 10000 feet high into the head
waters Of the Poudre. Some 400 cubic
feet per second have thus been d.
Verted from the Pacific to the Atlantic
slope, where the water Is used for irri-
eating additional farms in Larimer
county. 1t is not strictly correct to
say that this water has been lifted
across the range, but feat Of sinuous
engineering has diverted It.

MONAGHAN ON THE CANAL.
PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

United States Consul James C. Mon
Afghan, whose reports from Chemnitz,
Germany, have won for him a reputa-
hon throughout the industrial world,
expressed to the International Com
mercial congress in Philadelphia re-
Gently his establishment that the
United States had not built the Mica
ragua canal fifty years ago. Even II
the canal were to cost $4,000, 000, 900,
be said, it ought to be built. As a
matter Of fact, the Nicaragua canal
would cost barely one-twentieth Of
1000, 100000, and it was estimated
that it would save the commercial
world $4,000, 100000 a year. The only
reason that the canal has not been
built is that England has a standing
threat to make trouble If we do. Such
q canal would mean the end of Eng
lish domination Of the seas. The Pa
cific railroads also oppose the canal.
On this great problem much will IN
doubtedly be said in the political plat
forms Of next year.
