TWO OFFICERS AT ODDS.
Captain Whee1er's Actions and Or
ders Criticized hx Easfrnnn

Capt. Frank F. Eastman, of the Four
teenth Infantry, in a report to the com
manding officer of his regiment, dated
near Manila. February .. 1899, makes sew
eral severe comments on the action of
Captain Wheeler. Of the Fourth Cavalry.
at Blockhouse No 13. Captain Eastman
was ordered to report with his company to
Captain Wheeler at the blockhouse. Cap
tain Eastman says that about II a. m.
Captain Wheeler ordered him to advance
against the trenches in front of the block
house. The report says:
Fortunately, Sergeant Hutchins re-
ported at this time from the front and
volunteered to act as right guide of the
line during the advance. He performed
this duty well and probably prevented our
right from firing into the left of the troops
in advance.
when within thirty PAGES on the left
and fifty PAGES on the right from the
trenches of the enemy. Captain Wheeler.
after having given personal orders TO
Lieutenant Biddie to fail back and connect
wit the other portion OF the Fourteenth
Infantry. came to me and personally or
dered me to fall back. l stated 10 him
that there was the enemy's trenches, and
that l could capture them He insisted
that the left flank was exposed, and
nau no support, so L paSSeu tne WoTu along
the line and 1t fell back. Had l been
allowed to continue the advance believe
l could have captured the trenches in my
front and held them.
After taking the position designated by
Captain Wheeler. noticed the sound Of
rapid firing crossing our front, and recog-
nizing it as firing by our own troops In
turning movement to the left, l reported
the fact to Captain Wheeler. and asked
for orders to advance These were given
and the battalion advanced, followed by
some volunteers, but before moving | eau
toned both my battalion and the eompa-
nies from First California and Washing
/ ton Volunteers in support, that the
trenches had been captured, and that the!
must not fire shot.

entire front when in close proximity

real religion has ever been ridiculed on the
stage. On the other hand, the highest
dramatic art has received unsparing con-
demnation from the pulpit.
Those who denounce Sunday perform
ances at the theatres, however, lose sight
of one important fact-that the rule
against the opening of the theatres on
Sunday forces the actor to do most Of his
travelling on that day, so that Sunday is
for him anything but day of rest. In the
Continental cities, which are largely Cath
olic, no performance is given on Friday,
but on Sunday night the best operas and
the finest music are to be heard. People
go devoutly to church in the morning,
and delight themselves with happy after
noon in the park or the country and an
evening at the opera or play. From their
point OF view, this makes their Sunday a
real day of rest, season of refreshment
which strengthens them for the matter

not No one is Obliged to go to the opera

the thousands who have no homes have a
pleasant and refreshing day. The libra
ries and art galleries and museums are
open. and the father can take his chill
dren to stroll through these magnificent
buildings, or to listen to music in the open
air. or to enjoy a genuine picnic. Contrast
this with the yawning dreariness which a
Sunday afternoon in the average Ameri-
can town presents to the non-religious.
They do not go to church to pass away the
time; they hunt for some companion, and
the companion is not always improving,
and there is nothing to do any way.
The great majority of working Ieople
have but one day of leisure Why
should they not have given them as many
opportunities for rest and improvement
as possible, on that one day? Why should
they not read. even if they read secular
books, or listen to music, even opera music
or look at pictures. not necessarily Bible
pictures? Does not the richer citizen dc
this is his own home?

A GREAT STORM IN OHIO.
Mansfield Has Peculiar Experience
with Rain and Wind.

Mansfield, Ohio. June 20.-This part Of
Ohio was swept last night by most re-
markable storm. Peculiar looking. threat
ening clouds gathered thickly about I p.
m. and heavy laundering began. The
clouds seemed TO knit, and formed heavy
ecIipse battery. Fierce lightning and
heavy numbering began. which continued
almost necessarily until midnight. Hail
fell part of the time. This seemed to be
the storm centre and the downpour was
terrific. The cellars in the elevated part
of the city were flooded by water, which
also swept over the sidewalks. The lower
part of the city was a seething sea, in
which foated furniture that was washed
away from dwellings. 1t was impossible
10 reach the railroad depCts even with
horses. a number of small dwellings were
washed from their foundations. Business
places and dwellings were several feet in
water and people were driven to the roofs.
The fremen and policemen tried to rescue
people who were in imperiled positions,
but they were unable to reach them. The
cooper shop of the Hicks Brown Flour Mill
was washed away and the debris blockad-
ed the Baltimore and Ohio yard so The
Mansfield Sandusky morning train stand
ing on a siding was compelled to cut off
and had to be abandoned for today. Rail
road traffic on the Pennsylvania and Erie
was delayed until 4 a. m. WashOuts on
the Baltimore and Ohio tied up that road
completely and traffic was not opened until
late today. Every factory in the city, ex-
cept the Richland Buggy Works, was
flooded and is idle today. The street car
power house was drowned out at . p. m,
and the cars stopped and the lights went
out, leaving the Casino, where there were
200 people, surrounded by flood and in
! total darkness. Many people waded out
from the Casino to high ground, but many
were compelled to remain all night. Light

business hours.
Nc man seriously objects to living in a
house without a superhuity of bric-abrac.
There is a barbaTic strain in human nature
which reverts joyously to the conditions
of a tent or a cabin. But the thing which
is truly forlorn is a civilized house done
up in moth balls for the summer-furni-
ture sitting around in shrouds and pic
lures veiled in mosquito netting; floors
bare of their accustomed covering, and
swept less often than they should be.
Why should these things be considered
necessary?

Is it possible that Chicago imagines her
self sufficiently old and far enough advanc-

The city authorities have prohibited the

New light has been shed on the Schley
Sampson controversy. The Navy ring,
which is as much determined as ever to
secure the honors of Santiago for the Ma
tanzas mule man. now considers Itself in
position to show that Admiral Schley is al
legged to have said hard port" when he
ought to have remarked, "starboard," ac-
cording to the opinion of a junior officer
anybody can see what this will lead to. If
Schley really exclaimed hard port thst
concusively proves that Sampson was
within less than twelve miles of the sea
fight, and ought to have all the credit Of
the victory, with the achievement OF which
he had as much to do as The Times had.
That, we may confess, consisted in lying
like Satan and lauding Sampson to the
skies on the strength of his first and most
discreditable despatch. claiming the battle
for the feet under my command and
never limiting that Schley was the real
commander, or that he himself had been
far away from the scene during all the
proceedings. We are strongly of the opinion
that Mr.. Long would better give up his at
tempt to falsify history and geography,
and be grateful that the man he favors has
Jared as well as he has.

The First Negro Jury.

The first Negro Jury ever summoned
to try a case i'm Bath county was that
which did duty in Magistrate Charles
Wilson's couIt in Bethel district, Bath
county last Wednesday. Mr.. Wilson
had tired several cases, all of which he
thought to be so plain that the average
Juror ought te have no difficulty in ar
irving at a verdict, but in all of which
juries Of white mcu had failed to agree.
WhereupOn he dismissed the white iu-
rors aud had summoned a jury composed
Of eolored NEIL of the vicinage and pro-
ceeded to again try the cases which had
caused SO much ags;ravation ia the way
of / hung juries. The colofed Jurors
were very proud OF tie unexpected
honor shown them, and bore themselves
with conspicuous dignity, and in each
case returned a verdict and from what
has been learned the verdicts are salts
factory TO all parties concerned.
Bethel is an aristocratic neighbour
hood aud nearly every citizen in it was
slaye owner briore the war Masis-
trate Wilsosi is lifelong Democrat. and
both he and his ancestors owned Negro
slaves. Commentator the Magistrates
conduct is universal, and is both favor
able and unfaVofable.
