These circulars are in all the seeming
simplicity of a few lines of print such as
we al home are accustomed to associate
with a lost bracelet most lurid reminders
of the horrors of war, for there is a dread
full particularly of information asked for
The Soudan produced a whole sheaf OF

question, Was he mutilated?"
The writer can state on the best army
authority that in the case of one of our
brave ones who died at Majuba Hill, and
about whom the most explicit information
was subsequently asked, the reply of a
comrade was that the dead man shot him
self rather than be taken or surrender
And have not many alleged that even Gen

his own hand?
Of course, many such circulars are issued

them have been repeated at intervals for
years-ln regard to missing men who have
never been in action in their lives, and

been repeated, and which palpably relates

Pressing Need of n Match.

SEEKING MISSING SOLDIERS.

sand Among British Regiments
- u L.naan -


In the whole copious realm Of literature
dealing with our wars, big and little. it is
rather surprising that there should be only
one passing mention made of the fact that
periodically tens Of thousands Of circulars
and handbills are issued. by the relatives Of
supposedly dead young soldiers in the
ranks asking for detailed account Of the
last moments of the slain
The writer has seen many of these cir
culars that have not only been circulated
in the regiment TO which the dead or miss
ing man belonged, but have, in certain
cases. been given 10 every surviving soldier
Of the particular campaign in which he
was engaged. One Of these latter hand
bills was periodically issued, literally by
the hundred thousand. over a period cover
ing ten years. Ii related to a young private
Of high connections, whose real name was
Gordon, but who had enlisted in the name
Of BRASIL. He was reported as missing,
and it is an army tradition that something
like $780, 0G0 was spent By his mother on
advertisements and inquiries in all parts Of
the world, a regular army of nOn-com-
missioned officers of certain regiments
who never asked for and sometimes de-
clined taking q penny-receiving tips"
for making strenuous inquiries among
SepOys
Some Of these circulars that have re-
lated TO men killed In a very early en-
gagement Of a long-continued campaign,
have followed the dead mans comrades
who participated in and survived the same
action to the most Outlandish places.

0BFN HUR" AS IT REALLY IS.
The Time. Money, Material. and La
bor Involved in Its Creation.
(From the New York WofIu'J


More people probably than were ever be-
fore crowded inside the Broadway Theatre
sat spellbound last Wednesday evening
while a new standard was being set for the
art of creating stage pictures.
.Ben Hur'' easily surpassed old limits as
theatric spectacle The wonderfully beau
tiful and impressive pictures II presented
without a hitch or a flaw have never been
ATTEMPTED before 1t may be years before
an effort will be made TO equal them.
Seventeen times the pictures changed,
each revealing new wonders in llghuHg
scene setting and effective ensemble
When seemingly the best had been accom-
plished still more remarkable pictures
arose in their place. Inventive skill seemed
able TO make almost the unattainable its
plaything
The hundreds in the audience saw and
arioved the scenes only in their entirety
Few stopped TO consider them in their COM
moment parts Not one, perhaps, fully re-
allied the complexity almost infinite IN de-
tail work patience expense, time. and IN
ventive and artistic skill that was involved
in giving the spectacle OF Ben Hur It's
material form.
Yet TO dfssect this remarkable production
is almost as interesting as TO see 1t as q
coTnpleted who'll. Before the curtain was
raised on the first performance and when
IFS success was still matter OF speculation
the books of its producers showed an out
Law of $70000. covering a period of seven
months Of preparation,
If the canvas used in its seventeen scenes
were stretched out in Broadway iJ would
carpet the pavement from Forty-second TO
Forty-ninth Street The paint used in its
decorations would coat almost any one OF
New York's sllyscrapers from bas ment to
roof The panorama of the chariot race
scene alone required $500 square feet OF
cloth.
The chariot race scene probably attracted
the greatest popular interest Ii consumed
only about five minutes OF the entire spec
tacle. Eight horsas attached 10 chanots
we're revealed running like mad in front
of a panoramic background.
