The rebels were equally successful III
preventing it's removal. Bronson crawled
along the bank until he was lust beneath
the flag, and reached his hand up tc
snatch il down. His wrist was shattered
by a Eullet before his hand touched the
staff Then the splendid young Captain
of Co. Il suddenly sprang upon the works
and seized the banner. AS he did so half
dozen bullets pierced his body, and he
fell headlong into the outer ditch, the flag
wrapping him in it's folds as he fell, and
soaked with the crimson tide OF his young
life's blood.
At last the long looked-for night came,
and the remnants of the aSSailantS
slipped back, squad at time, as
opportunity offered, to the shelter of their
works on the opposite line of the hills.
ONeil would not relinquish the COM
mand of Co. A, but carefully withdrew il
from the ditch and brought il off in good
order, bringing up the rear himself iR his
left hand the blood soaked regimental

others went to the assistance Of Inky.
They pulled the gun back nearly to the
foot of the hill without the movement
being discovered by the rebels. Then
they halted and rammed in blank car

rammed the sock home, carefully ad-
justed the primer, and aimed the gun so
as to rake the top of the works in front Of

the zig gag rife pits enabled nearly every
one OF the 27,0G0 infantrymen in the garri-

the most deadly work in addition TO the
artillery fire. The whole front was diff

Trained Nurses.

The low-voiced, gentle young woman
in her white cap and apron who en-
ters our homes but as the visible SYM
Dol OF anxiety and often sorrow, and
who was regarded with distrust if not
absolute dislike by the average house
hold in the earlier years, is finally COM
ing into her kingdom quietly and Sc
renely as she steps into the sick room.
The trained nurse is overcoming pre-
judices as the days go by and the
muslin cap is not infrequently trans
figured into a halo in our sight as one
by one she takes the burden of the
weary nights upon her shoulders. as
deftly she smooths the care away from
those sick with disease or alarm, and
not seldom waves death back from the
very bedside of our best beloved.
The time was when it was currently
understood that she turned the house
topsy-turvy; that because of her DOM
nance and interference the servants
gave warning and because of her pre-
sumption the closest relatives of the
stricken one endured the agonies Of
fear and of humiliation to a ten-fold
degree. The trained nurse of today
is a different person. She is refined
and often cultured. She can read in
beautiful tone for hours. She can
devise the most tempting meals for the
convalescent and can, with her calm,
capable temperament, lift the dread
from the most morbid mind. She is
gentle, patient and unselfish. She
quiets those who fret and eXhilarates
those who are depressed. If her ten
der ministrations are all in vain to
keep back the gray shadow from the
doomed one in her charge it is the
trained nurse who lightens the black
night of woe for those who remain
outside the shut door, and with her
silent, swift, ministry leaves unseen
much that would torture the mourning
ones. She is no more luxury, but a
necessity to sickness in even the home
where moderate circumstances prvail,
and it is pleasant to note that her work
is to be appreciated beyond the usual
method observed by men patients CT
Offering their heart and hand to their
nurse as an expression of gratitude.
Harris c. Fahnestock has just given
100000 to build a training school for
nurses in New York in memory of his
wife, whose last days were made bright
by the tender care of two trained
nurses, who thus receive an appropri-
ate tribute to faithful service in their
arduous calling. The gift is a noble
one for noble purpose and might well
| be duplicated elsewhere.

A RECoRD-BREAKER.

This here old world we're livin' in don t
suit some folks at all:
Their health amt up to standard or their
incomes are too small;
Somethin's always wrong somewhere, if
not this thing it's that;
My neighbOr Gray thinks he's too thin
Brown says that he's too fat
Always somethn' that amt right; Fate
she gifts the blame
But a records list been busted by us peo-
pie all the same.
We used to hear 'em say they want no
use fer any one
To try to please 'em all, because the
thing could not be done;
They was bound to be some kickers who
would grumble anyway,
But it tickles me to tell you we can show
the world today
That in spite of all the talliin' and the
dOubtin' of the past
We have found a chap what pleases every
one of us, at last.
Perhaps the great millennium, OF which
we used to hear
The old folks talk, has drawed along un.
til it's purity near
But howsumever that may be, we've
knocked Il record out
We've found a man that not Il one of Us
looks at in doubt
He's list the greatest little chap among
'em all today,
And Dewey is his name, the man whl'
hasn't much to say.

THOMAS B. REED.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
There Is no man in congress today
who enjoys I'm fuller measure than
Speaker Reed the respect, admiration
and complete confidence of the whole
country, and his presence in the na-
tional councils has been the strongest
force in preserving the sanity OF con-
gress and in preventing unwlse and un-
timely legislation, lie has not played
into the hands of any ring, nor has he
been carried hither and thither by the
intrigucs of any self-seeknE cabal. lie
has not been swept from his feet by
every wind that blows. but has taken
his stand on the firm platform of what
he believed to be truth and right, and
has held his ground tenaciously like a
man. He has opinions, and they are
his own, and, having the courage of
his convictions, he has made some enc
mics because he has been a bulwaTk
against assaults on the peoples inter
ests. He has throttled jobs, banished
fraud, obllquity and solicitation" and
put corruption or folly to flight with
trenchant phrase and decisive action
There has never been any imputation on
his ability, integrity or broad states
manship, and If he does not typify
sturdy Repubicanism, where Is the
standard to be found? Speaker Reed
has couraEeously and manfully defend
ed the interests of the country. The
nation needs such men and will retain
his services

England we can go along In parallel di-
rections; but even England, with all her
friendlincss TO us and with all the ties
OF blood and history which naturally un-
tie us, will stand for herself and let Us
severely alone the moment her interests
and ours begin TO dverge. No one can
tell how soon that may be. In tho mean
time the United States wants to be in a
position where we. too, can be indepen-
dent. We can get all we want by a firm
and positive policy, without tying our
selves to any other power. We are inter-
ested In free commerce, and so Is Great
Britain; but II must be remembered that
Great Britain Is a free trade nation, while
we are on n protective tariff basis. In
the Orient our interests are Identical, but
our systems at home are so different
that we may not always travel together.
The time may come when we will find
England concerned in her own affairs,
especially In the east. and she will not

Aguinaldo is discovering that things
are different now.
A New Power of the Press.

Newspaper managers have all seen
occasions when if their Offices could
have been endowed with perambulat-
ing powers the advantages would have
been obvious. Probably al no time has
such a possibility held out the glitter
ing inducements that appealed to The
Ridgewood IN. j. Record the other
night when fire threatened to consume
the town. A row Of buildings to the
number of twelve was burned, when it
was seen that the fire company could
do nothing and unless some other
means could be adopted nothing could
save the entire place.
The local newspaper Office was built
on stills and it was hastily decided to
move the building as by this act a
gap could be made cutting off the
flames. The feat was accomplished and
although there was pie to burn within
the structure, and ink enough spilled
to put out a reasonable fire, the happy
idea saved the remainder of the town.
The Ridgewood Record published a
rather excited account of the fire next
day, but the gratitude of an apprecia-
tive public for once was shown in no
kicks at the office.

the different departments Of the state
government, executive, legislative and
judicial, $3,S79,41 and over half mil
lion, including some of the extraordi-
nary expenses I have mentioned, for
miscellaneous purposes. For educa-
tional purposes, including the public
schools, we appropriated s13,5S1, ,4S6. a
sum enormous TO contemplate, when
you come to consider that it is con-
slderably over half Of the revenue col
lected by the state"
Mr.. Fow incluines to the belief that
a cut in the school appropriations not
only may be necessary but would be
wise. "In the first place." says he, "it
was never intended that the state
should either assume control or support
altogether the common schools. IL such
a state OF affairs would occur all local
interest in their welfare would be lost,
but for the purpose Of gaining the votes
of the people liberal appropriations
have been made, so that from 81 900, 900
as the starting point which was the
annual amount appropriated for a long
number of years, we have in the last
ten years increased IL to $500, 900 a
sum which the governor says we must
have courage enough to reduce by leg
islation. The annual item should be
A,0O0,0O0 annually. AS it is, one-half
Of the school districts have lost that
interest which they once had of seeing
their own money expended wisely, be-
cause they are relieved in some dis
tricts OF all school tax, and in j41 dis
tricts they failed to raise an amount
equal TO that which the state gave. as
it was not necessary"
This may all be very nice as a mat
ter Of argument and Mr.. Tow, as a
Democrat, may be joyfully willing that
the Republican majority should assume
the responsibility Of reducing the al
lotment to the schools; but the courage
to do this is tolerably certain to be lack
ing when the question comes to a test
vote. If so, what then? The man who
can answer this question satisfactorily
to a majority of the citizens of Penn
sylvania has a great opportunity be-
fore him.

How DeWey'S Fleet
Gof lis Supplies
From the Washington star.

n n OW Admiral Dewey's fleet was sup
I'LL piled with fresh provisions during
IT1I "a trying period is told very inter-
III ii cstingly in a letter from Professor
5. y. Knapp, the confidential
agent of the department Of agriculture.
Professor Knapp is now at st. Charles,
La, having returned few days ago to
the United States after a tour of Japan,
China and the Philippine Islands. lie
was accompanied on his homeWdrd trip
as far as San Francisco by Captain Wal
ter Mclean, chief of Admirab Dew ey's
war staff at Manila.
Captain Mclean was in command of
the little merchant vessel ZanrO, which
Admiral Dewey bought from the English
and which he converted into a dispatch
boat. 1t succeeded the cutter Mccall
loch as the carrier of dispatches from
Manila to Hong Kong. The McCulloch
made the first trip after the battle had
been fought and wen; the Zaiiro made
all others until the cable was captured.
Dispatches We're not the only thing the
Zafro carried" writes Professor Knapp.
Mclean turned smuggler when he got
hold of the ZafiYo and went cruising in
Chinese waters. He smuGgled more tons
of fresh things to eat into Manila bay
than you have hairs on your head. lie
became the most proficient falsiiier Of
manifests the east ever saw. Did Dewey
know about it? Didn't he know about
everything that was going on?
"The day Mclean was made command
er of the Zafiro admiral Dewey called
him up on the quarterback of the flag
ship, where there were lot of dyspeptic
looking officers and men standing around
and said Mclean, you viii take these
dispatches down to Hong Kong on the
ZatirO and cable them to Washington
Yes, SIR answered Mclean.
And, remember continued the ad-
miral, in a solemn voice, that this is a
time OF strife; that Great Britain has
issued a neutrality proclamation. and
there is such thing as contraband of
war, Do not allow any contraband ar
ticIe aboard your ship.
Mclean looked around on the hungry
men of the feet, and then he looked INTO
the eye of Admiral Dewey. He thought
he saw a sort of faint culver of the eye,
for he touched his cap smartly and re-
tired.
"When Mclean got ready to start for
Hong Kong he found Colonel Smith, the
paymaster of the fleet, aboard the Zafiro.
Pay asked Mclean Everybody in

In Reference to Prize Fights.

1t should not have been necessary
for committee Of Scrantonians to
visit the state capital to protest against
the repeal Of the act Of 1866 to pre-
vent prize fights and boxing matches
and to punish those indulglng I'm them,
This act Is an embodiment of the best
sentiment Of the time and is in line
with the legislation of almost every
state in the Union. The repeater, we
understand was introduced by Sena-
tor Vaughan by request BY the re-
quest of the decent citizenship of the
state it should be promptly and en-
phatically squelched.
The argument made for it is that 1t
aims TO do away with Il special act
applying to only a few of the counties
and prohibiting all forms of boxing
while in other counties no such pro-
hibition exists. In that case the thing
to do is to introduce a general act dis
tinctly specifying what kind of spar
ring exhibitions are permissible and
what are not, and providing that with
the enactment Of such a measure all
prior acts, special or otherwise, relat-
ing to the subject shall become void.
Public sentiment Is overwhelmingly
opposed to prize-fighting in every form
and phase. IT will tolerate scientific
sparring exhibitions only when they
are divested of all semblance of gam
ling or brutality. If it is impossible
to frame q law which can draw a safe
line of separation between these two
classes of exhibitions, the better plan
would be to do away with the whole
business. There are other forms of ex-
ercise amply sufficient to develope the
necessary physical qualities which
boxing Is supposed to produce and far
less liable to public abuse.
