REELS OF BARRED WIRE.
One Thing That Is Never Handled Without
 Gloves When It Is shipped.

Gloves When It Is Shipped,
 Barbed wire for shipment is wound on reels containing about 100 pounds each. In it's dimensions a reel of wire is of about the size of a haIf-bushel measure; innumerable barbs project. ing from it all over except for narrow strips of board that extend across the ends and form the end pieces of the reel. Large quantities of barbed wire are exported, and it is a common sight to see the reels going aboard ships lying at South street wharyes, says the New York Sun. The wire is brought alongside the ship on the deck of a lighter, such a load consisting perhaps of 2,000 or 5000 reels; some times two or three lighter loads are taken aboard a single ship. If it can be done the lighter is brought along side the vessel, in the slip, in order, as far as possible, to avoid handling; with the lighter alongside the wire can be hoisted directly from the lighter in- to the ship. Sometimes it is necessary to tie the lighter to the opposite side of the wharf from that at which the vessel is made fast, and move the wire across the wharf. In that case more handling is required.
 There should be a man on the lighter to tumble the reels down from the load and roll them alongside to the rail, the rolling being done with the foot. On the deck of the lighter. at the rail, stands two men, eaeh with cotton hook. When tue reel of wire has been rolled along to them and tipped over on its side, between them, they each set a hook though strands enough of the wire to hold, and lift the reel and set it up on the stringpiece of the wharf. Thence it is tipped over onto the wharf by a man standing there to receive it, and he starts it rolling across the wharf by a push with the foot. He wears hand cover. ings of some sort as every 1ongshore- man does in handling barbed wire; these protective coverings include gloves and mittens of leather and hand feathers. The hand feathers worn are seven or eight inches in length and five or six inches in breadth and are often cut from old boot legs Hand feathers have a slit in them across one end, through which the hand is passed, the strip of leather above the slit rest ing on the back of the wrist. When the palm and insides of the fingers of gloves have been worn out the gloves are put on with the back of the glove on the palm side of the hand and used in that manner until that side is worn out also. The reels of wire are gath cred in punches of six at the foot of Che board that rises from the wharf resting against the ship to protect the side of the ship from being seraped in hoisting cargo aboard; they gre hoist ed aboard with a bit of stevedofes1 gear made expressly for the purpose. comprising half q dozen dangling lengths of rope. each with I hook at the end of it. which can be spread out to reach the reels. Ahook is put into each reel, under wire enough to give it q secure hold, and when they have all been hooked the bunch is hoisted Up the side of the ship.

 !" Here's your parachute,' he said. I'll have to own up that l appropriat- ed if yesterday, but it was raining and the temptation was too strong for my morals.
 T took it rather gingerly and re- trained from offering any explanation. That afternoon I set it just outside my door and had the satisfaction of see. ing it disappear under the arm of an architect who is prominent member of my church and generally regarded as a very moral man.

Talks EntertainIy About the Newman Georgia Burning-More En-
 lightenment,

Yes, the burning of Sam Hose, the negro who committed two of the basest acts known to crime, at Newman, Ga., last Sunday afternoon was a most horrible affair, said Rev. J. c. Battles, the well known negro divine Tuesday, Tt was . disgrace to civilization and has placed a stain upon this country which will never wear away. l be tieye in punishment for such brutes, out 60 not believe in doing the way those lynchers did. I believe in oasty punishment, but the law should be allowed to take it's course, They should have listened to the earnest appeal of ex-Goyernor At kinson and carried that man back to jail. It would have been a great deal better for this country ard the fair State of Georgia. That heart less negro committed most das- tardly crime and hls punishment should have been made heavy, but not by such horrible methods as were carried out,
 "How can these crimes be check ed?o asked the reporter.
 
 "They can never bestopped unless all the negroes decide 10 join the church and learn the difference be. tween right aud wrong. Whenever these crimes are committed the guilty ones will always turn out to be ignorant negroes, who have ney- CT rlaced their foot in school room or house of worship. In fact, they are eannibals and have no sense of feeling. After awhile, when there are more churches established in the reach of this ignorant set, we may be able to check this history of crime.
 You can see for yourself that the better class of negroes, that is, those who live happy and prosper- ous lives and are anxious to gain knowledge, are gairing the friend ship and esteem of the white people. The others, who care not whether they know the alphabet or religion, do not deserve any better. If they wish to continue their lawlessness and not join the better classes by becoming intelligent and make a study of religion, let them take the consequences.
 "Sometimes when I look thor oughly into these crimes and see what heartless hrutes commit them, I cannot blame the white people. for in their excitement they lose all thought and vengeance n anyway ;s their motto. But Tn all such eases the law should be allowed to take it's course. :"

how to start a letter to you as l have too
much to write about. Of course by this
time you have heard about the fun we
have been having in the last few days.
The insurgents opened fire on our out.
posts Saturday evening, February 4th, at
$3.50 O'Clock. But we were ready Tor
them, as usual. for we had been called to
arms early in the evening. They com
menced firing on the outposts at the OPP
posite part of town from us, but We laid
down in rice field and waited till the
firing commenced on our side CT the
town, then we fell in line and went out
to meet them. We skirmished around
till about three o'clock in the morning
as it WAS 40 dark we couldn't see them.
At three O'Clock in the morning We found
where they were the thickest so We
crswled along fence until we were with
in about $50 yards Of them, then the
fun commenced. We fred several vol
leys at them. They then returned the
fire, and talk about bullets flying close
and thick, really l can't describe it.

They outnumbered us by large major
ity; besides they had repeating rifles and
could fire six shots without reloading.
We laid there under their heavy fire till
about ten o'clock in the morning, but
during that time We never failed to get
in our own good work and keep up a
steady fire on them. At 1890 we moved
around to flank them on the left, but we
ran into larger nest than we did at first
We laid down in ditch in garden op-
posite tort of theirs on the banks of the
Pasig river and then they fred at us for
an hour. While in this ditch we lost
two men killed and several slightly
wounded. The killed were, Frank Smith,
from Tacoma and Mat Cherry, Yakima
boy from Selsh valley. While we were
firing on this fort the rest of the insur-
gents retreated along the line. They ran
to the hills, leaving only this fort to be
taken. The officers told the boys that it
WAS sure death for some of us but we
would have to take it. There were fifty
in the command, thirty.ive of our com
pany, and ID Of B Company, of our regi'
ment. They fred voley and gave a
yell and started on a run down to the
river. plunging into the water. Some
could wade, others had to swim. When
on the opposite side of the river they all
fired another voley, with yell, and up
the Hill TO the fort. On reaching the top
OF the hill hand to hand fight took
place, but it was short and sweet as our
boys slaughtered them. We killed about
rs and captured 90 and only lost two of
our men. We were glad enough to stop
and rest and eat our dinner, after an all
nights hard work. The enemy, by this
time, was many miles back in the hills.
General King, the commander of our
brigade, called and viewed our dead,
wounded, and captured insurgents. He
gave rs talk, saying that we had made
a great reputation for ourselves and that
the Washington regiment did the best
and hardest fighting that was done in
the field. We then made the prisoners
