ANOTHER MYTH EXPLODED.
One of Stonewall Jackson's Soldiers
Says Barbara Frietchie Had No
Flag to Wave.

NEW YORK. April s4.-General Hen.
ry Hyd Douglas. Who was an officer on
the staff Of Stonewall Jackson, lee
turei in Cooper Union hall last night
on that great soldier.
General Douglas described the entry
into Frederick. Barbara Frietchie
lived. but General Jackson never saw
her. If she owned United States flag,
General Douglas was never able to find
out. Certain he is she never waved 1t
from her easement in challenge to the
confederates.
General jackson never even passed
Barbara Frietchie's house." said Gen
eral Douglas. 1T seems hard to be-
lieve that all her relatives will sanction
the story.
General Jackson. Just before our en-
try into Frederick, had been seriously
injured by fall from a horse that had
been presented to him by some Of his
admirers. We were obliged to place
General Jackson in an ambulance and
stop at Rests Grove, about three miles
from Frederick.
General Jackson, on the following
Sunday evening. insisted on being TAX
en- into Frederick in an ambulance to
attend church. He did not return to
town again until the morning Of the
supposed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 10, 1862.
Then we again took him into town in
the ambulance. We stopped at the
cogner OF Patrick and Main streets, and
there he asked some of the citizens
misleading questions about the sur
rounding country. Then he directed
that drive with him to the residence
of the Rev. DR.. Ross, the Presbyterian
clergyman whose church We had at
tended on the preceding Sunday even
ing 1t was still so early DR.. Ross was
not up. so we left a card.
we drove the ambulance past the
present court house, past the home of
William Bantz, then down Mill Alley
to Middletown Pike, when We reached
Jacksons column and rode up to the
front. We did not pass Barbara Friet-
chie's house. Barbara Frietchie,
have learned, after long and painstak-
ing investigation, was Sc years old at
that time. She was helpless and al
mast blind. No soldier Of our army
nor resident of Frederick saw a flag
at the window. Her relatives, with
whom l have talked, admit that there
is no foundation for the story on which
Whittier has written such a beautiful
poem.
Mrs. E. D. n. Southwick, the novel;
ist. and consequently unhampered by
facts, is said to have given Whittier
the story. was with Jackson all the
time he was in the vicinity of Freder-
ick and I can say that the beautiful
poem is all a myth"

CARVING UP TURKEY.
Germany and Russia Have Already
Got Their Share.

NEW YORK. April 24.-Rev. George
Washhurn, president Of Roberts col
lege, Constantinople, speaking at din
ner OF the Brooklyn Congregational
club last night said:
The political transitions which have
taken place in Turkey in the last few
weeks are the most important that
have occurred in years in the empire.
You have probably read Of some Ger
man railroad concessions obtained by
the Russian government. Well, there
is story back of these concessions.
When the war broke out In South
Africa, the kaiser went to England and
there was one thing he carried away
home with him in reward for keeping
his hand out of the affair in South
Africa. 1t was a concession for all the
railways in The western part Of Tur-
key for the Germans.
These concessions gave the Germans
the right to construct all the railways

4 Spanish Steamer Makes Norfolk Har-

NORFOLK. Va. April 24.-The Span
ish steamer FL Salto, Captain Loudo,
from Rio for Queenstown. via Phila.
delphia, limped into port here mere
iron huh last night, everything COM
bustible on board having been fed to
the furnaces to help her reach a coal
ing station.
The Salto hailed from Rio March 81
with a big cargo Of manganese ore, ship
and cargo being valued at $4,000. Her
coal supply was barely enough to take
her to Philadelphia, where she was to
refill her bunkers. but bad storm of
Hatteras used up this scanty supply
and to keep her head to the storm, the
captain fed her woodwork into the fur
naces.
She had battled through the gale and
headed for this port. but masts, spars,
rails. decks and furniture all had TO
be sacrificed to bring her into the
Roads. She could not even make the
coal piers with her last remaining
steam for there was literally nothing
left on her to burn and she anchored
down the-har5or.

Our CaultaI City.

The coming centennial of the city of
Washington calls the attention of the
world again to the fact that, in addi-
tion TO our other distinctions. We have
one of the handsomest, If not the very
handsomest, of the capital cities in
the world. and that it has future pos
sibilities of growth in grandeur and
beauty which will defy all competition
in those directions. This is due to the
fact that the city was practically made
to measure, and that its founders. with
an unusual foresight and an almost
miraculous gift of forecasting future
possibilities, laid it out on a generous
and liberal plan and were able to en-
tirely divorce their ideas from those
which prevailed concerning the build
ing of cities in their day.
1t was bold, and doubtless to many
seemed a foolish, hare Drained and
Utopfan undertaking, to arbitrarily fix
the site of the capital of the new Ma
UlOIl III q comparatively uuluIldDlltu
and inaccessible place, and to compel
population to come to it instead of
placing the seat of government where
population had already congregated
1t was very inconvenient at the outset,
and the beginning of the growth of the
new city, when compared with the am
bilious plans that had been made for
it, must have seemed ludicrous. 1t
took long time for the struggling
young capital to give any indication
that the magnificent clothes which had
been cut for it would ever be fit,
but it eventually did so; and long ago
the wisdom of its founders was fully
vindicated, while there is no citizen of
the Republic who today is not proud
to see how adequately the city on the
Potomac represents the dignity, the
greatness and rhe sDlendor of the
Nation.-Pittsburg Times.

present, said;

where the pigs could get them. 1t was
amusing to see the drunken pigs after
they had Dartaken of the brandy
soaked cherries. They staggered and
squealed and acted as foolish as so
many drunken men. The flock of
geese pitched in and stuffed themselves,
too. The old gander stood staggering
with his legs wide apart, and squawked

DarrOY Us City.

The case of q. r. Darorw VS.. The
City of Marietta was opened in Com
mon Pleas Court Tuesday morning at
$50 o'clock. The case is the result of
a contract entered into between the
City of Marietta and Darrow. on Octo-
ber Goth, 1898, for the construction of
sewers on Maple street and Gilman
Avenue. Darrow claims that there is
due him for work done under the con-
tract, including extra work. the sum of
$2,702. He claims that the work was
done under the direction and inspec-
ton of city officers. The city claims
that the work was not properly done,
that it was not done according to the
contract, and that many pieces of tile
were broken and clogged, The city
also refuses to pay for certain extra
work claimed to have been done. Many
witnesses will be examined and the
case promises to consume several days.
