about GOO yards off shore Mauser bullets
we're coon ripping through the ancient sides
of the ship, many of them going entirely
through he'. Capt. Ueard, who had been
experimenting the landing of the supplies,
on shore, FASTENED back by boat, to tho
ship to find that the captain had been
wounded. the mate killed. and fifteen or
twenty of the men on board wounded
There was a quantity of dynamite on
board, and great danger that the ship
might be sunk, blown up. or captui ed
Capt. Heard at once gave orders to with
draw heV out OF range. This was not an
easy matter as some of his men We're en-
shore, and a number of others disabled
and II was a difficult thing to turn tho
ship, in limited soundinGs between the
shore and tho reef. The wires leading
from the pilot house to the bells in the en-
CINE room having been cut ny tho Spanish
bullets, Capt Heard stationed a man to
transmit the signals from the pilot TO the
engineer. The man was soon killed. Ar
other man was ordered into his place and
was shot down, when Capt Heard took
his place in an extremely exposed position
and rot only exercised the general com
rand, but transmitted the necessary or
ders to the engine ROOM until the Wan
dered was slowly moved beyond the Ire OF
/ fire. Later he effected a landing nea~ by,
and took off his men who had been left
on shore. 1t was the opinion Of all that IL
was the cool mead and fearless action OF
Capt. Heard that saved the slip from cap
ture and destruction, and we believe that
every man on board signed paper to that
effect
/ The affair was brought 20 the attention
of the army board at Washington. and the
general order of the secretary of war con-
fleming their recommended ion, reads as
follows:

Robert G. Ingersoll.

| Col Robert G.. Ingersoll, the noted az.
nostc, was born in Dresden, n. Y, In 1893
His father was a Congregational minister
and his mother was a Miss Gilbert daush.
ter of Deacon Gilbert of Pittsford, VT
When he was IS years old he began to
study law In the Office OF his brother, Eben
c., who was afterwsrd a member Of Con-
gress. and on being admitted to the bar
went into partnership with his brother in
| Shawneetown, Ill. In 1857 Robert moved
| to Peoria, where hie natural gift of ora
tory brought him into local political no.
| tice, and in 1860 he received the demo-
cratic nomination for Congress. But his
district was strongly republican and, al
though he made great fight, he was. 10
his bitter chagrin. defeated, a disappoint-
ment from which he never fully recovered
and which was the principal reason why
he never thereafter ran for public office.
Shortly afterward he married Miss Eva
! Parket. the daughter OF an Illinois farm
er, and settled down to the practice of
law Whesi the war broke out he volun-
teered. His political prominence gained
for him the colonecy of a regiment, but
his record In the war was not partcu-
larry brilliant one. He served sevora!
years as attorney general of Illinois, and
came into national prominence when, in
the republican national convention of 1876
he proposed the name OF James G. Blaine
in the famous "PIumed knight speech
After that he began to be we'll known as
an APOSTLE, unbelever in the Bible, ridi-
euler of most things held sacred by Chris
tians defender of suicide, and opponent oc
religion He did not in terms deny the
existence of a God, but insisted that no did
not know, and that no one knew, that
there was a divine being Many persons
believed that he would eventually come
around and accept the Bible and the
Christian faith. In 1896 in a lecture on
Lincoln, he spoke of the Peoples church,
an institutional organization of Kalama-
ZOO, with reception rooms a library, read
ing room, etc. OF this he said: TT is the
grandest thing in your state II not in
the whole United States. IF there were a
similar church near my home l would join,
it IL its members would permit me-"
But he had no though of abandoning
what he considered to be a war on super
stition. He feared that after he was dead
there would be rumors of dea thbrd re-
cantation. and TO avert this he had in
structed his private secretary to be with
him through his final illness, should his
death be slow and take down all that he
might utter. He died suddenly, with no
dying words of belief or unbelief- an
agnostic, as he had lived. His motto was
zone world at a time" In the other
world he has perhaps learned some things
which he did not know in this.

A GALLANT EXPLOIT.
Tho Expedition Under Captain Heard,
and the Episode Which Won for Him
the CONGREGATIONAL Medal of Honor.

| 1t must have been consid cred q Cote
worthy circumstance by those who attend
ed the meeting and banquet OF the Medal
of Honor Legion last week, that among
the bearers of the medal was an officer
who was too young to have served IN the
civil war, in which all the others won that
badge of honor. The officer was Capt.
John W. Heard of the Sd cavalry. at pres
ent the quartermaster at For; Ethan AL
/ len, and he is one of the four men TO
whom the Board Of General Officers, con-
veNed at Washington to pass upon the
conduct of officers and soldiers enga ged
In the Spanish-American war, awarded the
congressional medal of honor, for acts of
distinguished gallantry. Capt. Heard has
uniformly and with characteristic modesty
declined to be interviewed concerning the
particular service which was thus reccg-
rized. The facts, however, as we have
gathered them from various well informed
sources, were as follows:
| During the lull following the surrender
OF Santiago, while the war in Cuba SEEM
ed to be making slow progress it was
deemed best by the wac department to
further supply the Cubans with arms and
ammunition, in order that they might con-
duct more active operations against the
Spaniards at various points on the island
For this purpose two expeditions were
fitted Out-one under Col. Dorset, which
failed to accomplish its mission: the other
under Capt. Heard which opened conmu-
nitions with the Cuhans and landed SUP
plies, arms and ammunition, at over a
dozen differnt points on the coast The
vessel which carried the latter expedition
was the Wanderer. an old steamship which
was loaded with about a thousand tons Of
military supplies The armed force on
board consisted OF twelve American sharp
shooters, ana a company of 50 oC 90 Gu
bans, under Cuban officer Several land
hgs had been made along the north coast
of the Province of Pinar del Rio when,
on the 23d of July, the Wanderer anchored
off the mouth of the ManiUani River, west
Of Bahia Honda. which city was garrison
cd in force al that time by the Spaniards
A landing OF arms and supplies at that
point having decided upon, the Cuban Of
ficer whose familiarity with the country
generally gave controlling weight to his
judgment in such matters was determined
to land ca the east side cf the river which
Is the side towards Bahia Honda. Capt.
Heard did not deem it prudent to run the
risk OF speedy attack from a superior
force on that side OF the river and order
ed the landing to be made on the other
side. The party had not been there half
an hour, when strong force of the enemy
appeared on the opposite shore and made
preparations to cross in order to seize the
arms and supplies which had been landed
The accurate fire of the American sharp
shooters soon caused them to desst from
| the attempt to cross and they then tura.l

he was not a big enough man for the

WHY DO POTATOES BLIGHT
AND ROTo

! 1t was supposed until recently that all
Of the blightng and rotting of potatoes
was due TO one and the same cause. but
Investigations at the Vermont experiment
station during the past decade have shown
that there are several causes which may
act separately or in combination to bring
about the destruction of the potato crop.
If the injury leads TO the death of the
leaves it is called a blight If 1t destroys
the tubers it is termed rot. There are
at least five kinds of blight and two kinds
of rot against which the Vermont potato
grower must guard-and in addition the
potato scab.
| These are described for our readers by
Prof. Jones of the experiment station, SO
as to enable any farmer to know which
diseases he has TO deal with. They usu-
ally occur in the order here given:
% ARSENlCAL POISONING. Due "a
excessive application of paris green. Com
monty causes brown or black burned
spots on the leaves. These may not appear
until several days after the poison is APP
piled There is much more injury from
this cause than is generally supposed, and
sometimes the plants are killed outright
Remedy. Apply paris green in more dilute
form and more uniformly.
(9 EARLY BLIGHT. This is a fungus
disease which causes spots much like those
caused by the paris green. 1t may cause

with bordeaux mixture.
go. LATE BLIGHT AND ROT. Every
Vermont farmer knows and breads this old
enemy 1t requires warm, rainy or
"muggy" weather for It's development, but
under favorable conditions will sweep over
a field and destroy every plant in few
days. 1t is a fungus The same fungus
causes both the late blight and the rot.
Remedy: Bordeaux mixture properly APP
piled is a perfect preventive and will
fully protect the crop on any soil and in
any season. This has been shown by nine
years experience at the experiment sta
ton.
a. TIP-BCRN. 1t Is very common, es-
pecally in dry seasons or when hot, dry
weather follows a wet period, for the
leaves to burn" especially at the tips
and margins. This trouble is worse when
the leaves are badly eaten by insects.
Remedy: Attention to proper cultivation,
and spraying with Observation-Disclosures
mixture.
o. THE BROWN ROT Is a bacterial
disease, causing the whiting and death of
the stems. followed by a wet rot of the
tubers. This Is very destructive in the
South and occurs in the Hudson Valley %
New York state. Tho experiment station
experts have not yet seen it in Vermont,
however.

The plans for tho New York reception
