A Hitch at n seance.
From the Hartford Comant.)

The news of General Sherman's death
reached Washington in the afternoon, and the
correction did not arrive until about $50 o'clock
when many people housed for the evening
1t is interesting to learn that at spritualistic
meeting in a private house there that evening the
spirit of John Sherman signifcd its presence,
and, on being welcomed. proceeded TO deliver
message on n slate and the handwriting was easily
recognized as Sherman's. He announced 4 change
OF views as to the money question, but had not
grown any warmer in his devotion to the leading
elements in Ohio politics The medium who so
promptly caught so large Il ghost his first
stroll out alone naturally congratulated at

Recalling Faces.

(From the London Speetator)
In your interesting article on the aboys
subject in The Spectator of February 4.
you remark on the power of the mind or
soul TO mold the body. as is seen in the
countenances of the thinker and saint. IL
may not perhaps be without interest to
mention how very useful I find this fact
to be in my daily duties as hospital chap
lain. By continually scanning the faces of
a neyer-ceasing stream of new patients
one learns TO make a very fairly accurate
diagnosis OF the religious state Of the mind
within by merely looking at a persons face
and before any word is uttered: it becomes,
indeed, comparatively easy TO distinguish
between the opponent, the Indifferent, and
the earnest without any questioning what
ever. 1t may seem exaggerated. Lut /
believe it TO be true that 1t can very gen.
orally be seen from the face 10 what form
of religion a man belongs.
And what seems to be more remarkable
is the effect that mans work has through
the mind on his face. The being accus-
toned to rule others seems to leave a dis
tinct trace on the face. as does also the
being ruled by others. Many trades can be
distinguished by the face. and there seems
to be a particularly marked difference
on the face between the coarser and more
refined trades. | do not in the least wish
10 pose as an adept on this subject: very
far from it. Nor do profess to see more
than my neighbors. But having for some
time thought that there is a great deal
yet 10 be discovered on this line of thought,
and as my experiences seem TO bear out
what is put forward in your article, / have
thought it might possibly be interesting
to mention them

Our Useless Artillery Before SAN
ti.go.
0From Scribner's Magazine.)

(FrOm Scribuer'S MagIZine.)
Our artillery made one or two efforts to
come into action on the firing-line of the
infantry, but the black powder rendered
each attempt fruitless. The Spanish guns
used smokeless powder, so that ii was diff
cult TO place them. In this respect they
were on par with their own infantry and
with our regular infantry and dismounted
cavalry; but our only two volunteer in
fantry regiments. the Second Massachu-
setts and the Seyenty-first New York, and
our artillery, all had black powder. Thi,
rendered the two volunteer regiments.
which were armed with the antiquated
Springfield, almost useless in battle. and
did practically the same thing for the ar
tillery wherever ii was formed within rifle
range. When one of the guns was dis
charged a thick cloud of smoke shot out
and hung over the place. making an ideal
target, and in half minute every Span
ish gun and rifle within range was directed
at the particular spot thus indicated; the
consequence was that after more or less
lengthy stand the gun was silenced or
driven of. We got no appreciable help
from our guns on July l. Our men were
quick to realize the defects of our artillery.
but they were entirely philosophic about
it, not showing the least concern at its
failure. On the contrary, whenever they
heard our artillery open they would grin
as they looked at one another and remark.
There go the guns again: wonder how
soon they'll be shut up" and shut up they
were sure to be. The light battery OF
Hotchkiss one-pounders. under Lieut.. j. b.
Hughes. of the Tenth Cavalry. was handled
with conspicuous gallantry.

General Miles, that unhappy man. is at
it again. He has expressed, to New York
reporter, The opinion that the latest battle
in front of Manila was "a serious engage
ment." We note the reckIessness of this
utterance with regret. 1t will certainly
compel Alger to cut short his inspection of
intended concessions in Cuba to return at
once to Washington, and to issue an order
inhibiting army officers from expressing or
entertaining views on military matters
without in each case first obtaining per-
mission from the Secretary OF War

The fact that the sudden acquisition of
great riches. or exalted position, makes for
conservatism, is exemplified in the testi--
mony of Governor Roosevelt before the
Army Court of Enquiry. True, he asserts
that the beef which sickened the Rough
Riders was bad, but he carefully avoids the
adjectives and personalities with which he
was wont to characterize the authors of
the outrage last summer. We are glad that
he stops short of declaring that the carrion
was good and sweet. There is that much
OF the old Teddy left, thank goodness!

Intentionally concealing material facts in
connection with his campaign for the sup

plain, however, that there are names which
ought to appear in the list of the enemy's

CAUGHT IN a CAVE-IN
A Tombstone Miner Enfombed ira

| Yesterday Tombstone WIS agitated
by the report that Il cave-in had oc-
CURED at the Tranquility mine and
entombed Richard Fisher, one OF II
mi1ers. Fisher is ore of the besr
known and popular miners in the
camp, and the news Of his misfortune
spread Like wild-fire, and the mental
picture of the anguish and sufferings
Ire undoubtedly would be undergoing
IN the living tomb, caused everyone
10 shudder at the fat in store for him
If not rescued very shortly.
In quick order many sturdy miners.
were at work TO rescue their inlpris-
ored cOmlade. and constant was the
arrival of willing and robust miners
who rendered their services to SUPER
intendent Grow and insisted upon be-
ing permitted to labor on the rescue
work. 1t is needless to say that the
force is more than can be accOmmo-
dated at the work. Never have men
worked with more desperation to save
human life. As soon as one man from
sheer exhaustion has to deSiSt another
is ready and willing to take his place
and the work is continued strong AMI
swift.
The cave-in occurred 30 feet below
the surface and happened at 11:30 i.
ID. yesterday. The c1ve-in was of such
dimensions that it WAS with difficulty
that the imprisoned man was located.
Work was started from two different
points and Roadway made as fast as
possible. At about 10 p. m. last night
the workers heard faint sounds which
gave the toiling men renewed strength
and hope. for although Fisher might
be at the very portals of death. there
