Book of tie Royal Btuo for July.


The July numbet of the Book of. tho
Royal Blue, which is published regularly
every month by the Baltimore & Ohio r
R., is especially interesting. 1t has been
the custom tn devote the July number
every year to stories of the Civil War
and the, present number contains a
graphic description of the battle of An
tietam, illustrated by photographs taken
shortly after the battle, ms we'll as photos
of more recent date. Particularly re.
markable is the photograph, used as a
frontispiece, of President Lincoln inte
viewing General Mcclellan at Antietam,
in October, 1862, and the Burnside Bridge.
showing an army train crossing over it.
These photographs were loaned and pub
lished by permission of the War Depart
ment. An accurate description is given
of the position Of the Union forces in the
battle, in accordance with reports of Gen.
Mcclellan, while the graphic description
of the closing scene at Burnside Bridge
isquoied from war correspondent who
was present at the time. An official map
published by the Government enables the
reader to follow the battle closely.
The movement of troops to and from
the battle of Antietam greatly affected
the lines of the Baltimore & Ohio R. R..
which were then constantly in a state OF
decentralization from the continued fight
ing in its territory
The number also contains an interest
ing war romance of Virginia, entitled
"a Womanly Woman poem by DIR.
Thos. Calver, of Washington, on "The
March of the Gallant 9th Corps" and
anothor poem by the same author, enti-
tied Too Soon They Die.'

A sIsnter,s parInE.

Few feats of skating have ever ex-
celled the exploit of one of Napoleon's
officers performed shortly after the
fight at lena in 1906. The emperor
dispatched an officer to Marshal Nor
tier requiring him to seize certain i'm
portant towns without delay. When
the officer arrived at the mouth of the
Elbe, where the river is ~ miles wide.
he was threatened with serious loss of
time. The river was just covered with
ice. therefore to row over was out of
the question. He could not cross by
the nearest bridge without going 20
miles out of his way on roads heavy
with snow, and he grudged the time
that would thus he wasted. So he re
solved to skate across the thin. freshly
formed ice. Had he tried walking he
would have sunk at once. but by skim
ming along on his skates at tile top of
his speed he got over the river both dry
and unframed. BY this daring If dan
gcrous deed he saved six hours, did
what Napoleon babe him do and won
great credit for his bold and clever ex-
plot.

PETER JOHNSON JR.
He straIghtens Out Some Inaccurn-
cies In Newspaper Stories.


cies In Newspapers. Stories.
Nothing was heard up to late hour
last night from Mrs. Peter Johnson. who
left last Friday for Denver, where she
went Ito meet her husband, who, she
claims. deserted her. Her son, Peter Jr.,
was seen last evening by a Globe re.
porter and he told all he knew of the
matter and expressed a great deal Of in
oignation at the statements made in some
OF the newspapers. While he was in
clined to view the matter much as his
mother does, he said with much en-
phasis and little wrath, that the facts
OF the case have been badly distorted in
the press. -a4 -
The story as told by him is as follows:
My mother and myself left the latter
part of May for trip to the Pacific
coast. Our purpose in making this trip
was to look up places at which good real
estate investments could be made. We
went to San Francisco, Seattle and Ia
coma, and after looking over the pros
poets in those cities, we returned to st.
Paul. On this trip my mother received
but one letter from my stepfather and
this caused her some uneasiness. 1t was
planned that. we should 90 West and
that he should go South on the same mis-
sion. He left for st. Louis about the
same time that we left for the West, and
it was while at st. Louis that ne wrote
to mother. 1t seems that he did not re-
main long at st. Louis, but returned to
st. Paul, where he met the BordWeIl
girls, and with them went to Chicago and
took rooms at the Palmer house. Upon
our arrival in St. Paul, mother learned
that ne was in Chicago at the Palmer
and Immediately wired to see If. he was
still there. They wired back that he had
left, and had ordered his mail forwarded
to Denver. This seemed a rather natural
thing for him to do, as one Of the girls
being sick with consumption crayed a
change to Colorado. Mother did not hear
from him, although she had written him
SeveTal times, and she concluded that he
must have deserted her. What she has
done since her arrival at Denver, I do
not know. except what [ have read in
the papers. She promised to write me
just as soon as she learned the state of
affairs and 1 am hourly expecting to
hear from her.
The statement made in q mornina
paper Monday morning in regard to
what Mrs. Hyland says, 1 believe to be
without foundation and all stories about
cruel treatment and non-support are
equally false. Ever since mother mar
ried Johnson up to last fall, there had
never, to my knowledge been a cross
word spoken by either to the other, and
1t was not until mother suspected his
attentions to Miss Maud Bordwen that
there was any uneasiness on her part
Since then, although mother held him in
suspicion. there has not been a sign Of
a quarrel between them
The BordWell girls have ben guests Of
the family for three years past and Maud
acted as stenographer for Johnson most
of that time
