men and his care for the good name of
his regiment is that of the way he

One of the troopers was Edwin Emer-

Riders while the regiment was lying in
the trenches the day after the capture
of the San Juan Hill. He is near
sighted and wore eyeglasses, but Col
onel Roosevelt told him that any man
who wanted to enlist at time when
so many fellows were anxious to go the
other way should have a chance, and
Emerson was sworn in. He was as
signed to Troop X, of which Woodbury.
Kane, the New York clubman, was
captain.
A few days after the surrender of
Santiago Emerson had a quarrel at
breakfast with a tall trooper from Ari-
o2na. This trooper called Emerson a
"four-eyed dude and other little
things Of an unpleasant nature, and
at last Emerson offered to go just out
side the camp and fight it out with the
Arizonian. The invitation was accept
ed with alacrity. AS they started for
the place where they were to fight the
tall trooper stopped and picked up his
carbine. Then he began hunting for
his cartridge belt which he had mis-
laid.
What do you want with your gun?"
asked Emerson.

ran up with some of the men. Kane

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.
Remains of Soldiers VIII he Exhumed
from Northern Cemeteries and
Taken south.

The Confederate Southern Me-
mortal association. with headquar-
tiers in New Orleans, has arranged to
reclaim the bodies of the southern
dead now resting in northern ceme-
teries, and to RENTER them, either in
the church yards and cemeteries of
their respective states, or in plot
to be especially set aside for the
purpose in the National cemetery at
Arlington, Va, directly opposite
Washington.
The affiliated associations, the nu-
merous camps of the Confederate vet
Grams, and the state chapters of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy
have been asked to assist in the work.
The lists of all confederate dead
buried in northern cemeteries will be
published throughout the south, thus
giving friends and veterans an op-
portunity to claim their dead. The
gress. which in the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill. approved June g.,
1900, provided for the disinterment
of these bodies of the southern dead
and their reburial in special sec
ton of the National cemetery at Ar
lington, Va.
The date of removal is set for Oc-
tober. Hollywood cemetery, in Rich
mond, has been placed at the disposal
of the association for the renter
ment of the bodies of all confed-
crate soldiers which are unclaimed.

A COMMON TRAMP.
Grnnd-Nephew of Admiral de Brueys,
Commander of French Fleet ia
Battle of Nile. Sees the World.

Henry A. de Brueys. granddaughter
of Admiral de Brueys, who com
manded the French fleet in the bat
tie of the Nile, has, according to his
own estimate. tramped 27.000 miles.
He has been seeing the country for
four years, or since he was II, and is
just now resting at Trenton, n. j.,
in the big institution established
there for the reformation of knights
of the road and conducted by Prince
ton theological students as an ex-
pertinent for the solution of the
tramp problem"
Last winter De Brueys caught a
severe cold in his left eye. and when
it failed to improve after some
months he made his way to the
tramps' haven to be doctored. He is
not having any of the local physicians
treat him, either. On the contrary
he makes a trip each week to New
ark, where at free eye and ear dis
pensary he is given the best special
treatment to be got. Trenton does
not boast of such a dispensary and
that is why he makes his weekly pill
grimages to Newark.
1t is close to 80 miles from Tren-
ton to Newark. hut 10 man of young
De Brueys' travelling experience that
is mere bagatelle. He jumps a
freight train each Tuesday morning
and is back at Trenton about three
o'clock in the afternoon with as
much regularity as the New York
commuter who makes his daily trips
to and from his business.

Bryan on the Republican Plat
form.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 3D.
Col. w. j. Bryan, en- route to
Chicago and Lincoln for his va.
cation, said regarding the Re
publican platform adopted at
Philadelphia;
1.-The Philadelphia platform
is the best evidence thus far
given of the deception attempted
by the Republican party. Taken
in connection with the speeches
made at the convention, it shows
that the Republican party's plat.
form of 1896 was a deliberate
fraud as far as the promise of in.
ternati0nal bimetaliSm were
concerned; that the party's at
titude on the trust question is in.
sincere, and that the party is not
willing to state its attitude on the
Philippine question and to invite
the confidence of the people.
Nothing was more manifest in
the convention than the military
spirit, and yet the convention
did not dare indorse the demand
of the President in 1898, for a
standing army of 100000 men,"
Colonel Bryan declared that
the reports of serious differences
between himself and chairman
Jones were absolutely false.

BRYAN'S PROSPECTS
BRIGHT.
Sure of 176 Electoral Votes
With Ill Doubtful--Needs
48 to Elect Him.

Says the New York Journal:
1t is generally conceded by Re-
publicans that Bryan is as least
as strong now as he was four
years ago. They admit that he
will carry the twenty-five States
that he carried in 1896 and that
the fight to beat him must be
fiercely waged in those States in
which the Republican majOrities
were so slight as to place them
in the doubtful class.
1t was publicly announced in
the caucus of the New York del
egation during the Philadelphia
Convention that the centre of the
conflict would be this State and
that the Republicans would have
to struggle hard to win its thirty
six electoral votes.
New York gave Mckinley a
plurality of 2S6.OOO. If the Re.
publicans feel this way about
New York they are in greater fear
concerning the States that gave
Mckinley a narrow margin. Here
is a table showing eleven States,
the electoral vote in each and the
Republican plurality of each in
1896.

Vermont chooses in the same
month, but week earlier than
Maine, a governor, lieutenant
governor, secretary of State and
treasurer for the like term of two
Years, and also two representa-
tiveS in Congress.
1t is noticeable that all the
doubtful and uncertain States
have by degrees fallen out Of the
list of those which hold prelimi-
nary elections, aud this list now
includes only such strong Demo
cratic States as Alabama, Kansas
and Georgia, and such strong Re
publican States as Maine, Yer
mont and Rhode Island. BY this
means the indirect influence of
these preliminary elections has
been very much reduced and the
influence of the other doubtful
States correSpondingly enhanced.
In the year of the last PreSi
dental observation-disclosures State
elections were fewer in number
than this year. Kentucky had no
State election in 1896: neither did
Utah, This years election for
members of the House of Repre-
SentativeS will he the last held

tionment following the 1900 cen
Sus and there will be a reappor-
tionment of Presidential electors
at the same time.

No Small Pox in Martinsburg.

The people of Martinsburg are
as mad as hornets over the report,
widely circulated in this city.
that small pox existed there.
Many letters and kilograms have
been received denying the report,
which, they say, was originated
for the purpose of injuring their
demonstration on July 4th. Iu
one letter Mayor W. L. Henshaw
states:
'There are no cases of small
pox in this city, nor have there
been any, or any liability of there
being any; in fact there have
been none for the past thirty (3O)
years"
What possibly prompted the
report was that there were several
cases of this disease in Charles
town, w. Va, several weeks ago.
but prompt measures kept the
plague in check and now not one
case exists.

Repub.

Here are the 14I electoral
votes which the Republicans
themselves believe the Democrats
have a chance of winning. Four
years ago Bryan got one of the
nine electoral votes of California.
and one of the 13 of Kentucky.
1t is practically certain that
Kentucky will go Democratic
this year; which will leave only
thirty five votes needed to insure
Democratic success. If the Re-
publicans lose New York they
will lose the nation.
The reverse of the situation.
however, is that the loss of New
York to the Democrats might not
affect a Democratic victory.
Needing only As votes, with the
l76 contributed by States that
are certain to stand by him this
year, Bryan can win if he can
add to them Kentucky, Califor,
MIA, Maryland, Minnesota and
Indiana. Or he can win by car.
rying West Virginia, Delaware,
Michigan, Illinois and Maryland.
California can be safely de.
pended upon, it is believed, to go
Democratic. 1t cast all but one
of its electoral votes for Hancock
i'll 1880 and for Cleveland in 1892.
In the last national fight it cast
2,OO6 votes for Palmer, the gold
Democratic candidate. This vote
was only 79l less than McKin-
ley's plurality.
Kentucky gave Palmer 5,1O4.
4,733 more than McKinley's plu-
rality.
For the first time Maryland in
1896 gave her electoral vote to a
Republican candidate for the
Presidency.
Counting the States in the
Democratic column Bryan will
need only twenty more electoral
votes to win.
Indiana is pivotal State. 1t
has gone alternately Democratic
and Republican. 1t is due to 90
Democratic this year. This State
has fifteen electoral votes, so that
if Bryan wins it and gets Cali.
fornia, Kentucky and West Vir-
glnia he will be the next Presi-
dent.
