Probably most writers of serial
stories are familiar with the sensation
Of receiving letters Of commendation
or disapproval from interested readers
who are following up the stories as
they appear In their regular weekly or
monthly lnstallments. Occasionally
some curious person asks for private In
formation rs to what the outcome is
to be, while others offer suggestions as
to the disposition to be made Of the
villain, or express a fear that the au-
thor intends to marry the hero to the
wrong woman.
The writer Of q serial story in one OF
the popular magazines few years age
received the following letter from an
Indignant reader. The names are
changed for obvious reasons:
Dear Sir: take the liberty of tell
Ing you that l regard your Simeon
Stacy now running through the Blank
Magazine, as a little the thinnest novel
have ever read. Furthermore, the
principal character in the story. tc
whom you give the title role, so tr

possible. Yours truly,

PLANTATION of the origin Of the word

After him came some Spanish YES

The natives had picked up these words
from the Spaniards who had searched
for gold and silver, and who, because
they had found nothing, had speedily
departed. The French came to the
conclusion that the words so often useC

In the Franco German war, 1870, at
Gravelotte, the German cavalry lost 200
horses and 100 men, while their artil-
lery lost ]. 300 horses and 900 men.
At Thionville. terribly fierce battle.
the German cavalry lost 1,GO0 horses
and 1, 400 men, while their artillery lost
1000 horses and 78O men; but at the
battle Of Woerth the German cavalry
lost only 30 horses to 90 men. This
shows that when the fighting IL close
and hot the men fall in greater numbers
than the horses.
From the relative loss Of men and
horses you can tell whether 1t was a
defeat or a victory; for IN victory
the difference between men lost and
horses lost would not be very great
while in a defeat and retirement the
loss Of horses would be immense.
In well-contested hand-to- hand
fight Of cavalry the loss Of horses is
about equal to the loss Of men. When
the British troops were engaged In the
Peninsular war they lost in each Of the
Is battles an average Of 1s horses to 10
men. showing fierce and close fighting.
On the other hand, the loss Of horses
is very great when the cavalry have to
go q long distance over open ground
before delivering the charge, as they
are exposed to the enemy's fire. At
Fontenoy the French killed 81 British
cayalrymen and 837 Of their horses.

War is not such dangerous game as
people think. In spite Of all efforts to
annihilate each other, enemies do COM
paratively slight damage. During the
Franco-Germ war, with its scores Of
battles on a vast scale. only 1917 men in
each 1000 were killed and 10s wound
ed, while ~ per 1000 were missing.
Thus any soldier engaged had about
nine chances to one that he would not
get a scratch, and over fifty chances to
ons that he would not be killed. Most
Of the wounds received were slight

wounds were severe. and three-fourths
were slight. But It is surprising how

TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED
 PERSONS WERE PRESENT
Large Crowd Witnessed Presentation of the "Nayal Battle of Santiago" for Bene-
 fit of the Monument Fund.

Fully 2,500 persons witnessed the presen- tation of the spectacular pyrotechnics for the benefit of the Kirkley-Adams monu- ment fund, at the corner of Tenth avenue and Nineteenth street, last night.
 The presentation was under the auspices of the Police Protective Association, and quite a neat sum was realized from the sale of tickets. The officers entered into the work with zeal, and are well pleased with the result
 The spectators were particularly repre- sentative a marked compliment to the popularity of the police department and appreciation of the heroic conduct of the unfortunate officers who gave their lives in the discharge of their duty
 The performance began with the blowing up of the Merrimac with startling effective ness, and ended when all the Spanish ships had been riddled, sunk and beached, and commanded close attention during the en- tire time. Then began one of the prettiest fireworks programmes ever presented in Birmingham First Admiral Schley's portrait, surrounded by the American and Cuban flags, and watched by the American eagle. The light effects and blending of this piece were beautiful. Niagara Falls, q seething, dashng sheet of fire as upon every presentation, created the most en- thusiasm, which was shared literally with the Phoenix and Sunset" The special ly prepared piece, the "Elk's Head" with "B P. O. E., 79'' underneath it, was burn ed and the members present could not re- frain from demonstrating their apprecia- tion No prettier effects in fire were ever seen than those in the Sunset" The present exhibition is the first to present 1t in this part of the country. The cluster of garnets, magnetic needle and other pieces were effective and highly entertaining.

 Noble Woman.

FORMER SHERIFF
 BROWN IN CUSTODY
AbSconding Official of St. Clair
 SurrenderS to Police.
SAYS MATTERS ARE SETTLED
Decamped With Woman Some Months Ago Leaving His Family Was Elected by Populistsi in 1896
 for Four Years

Former Sheriff A. C. Brown of St. Clair County, who some time ago decamped from Ashyille, the county seat of that county, Is a prisoner at police headquarters and is being held to await the disposition of the St. Clair County authorities who have been notified of the arrest
 Brown admits that he was wanted at one time, but says that matters have been strengthened out, and that he is now free to go where he likes in so far as any charges against him are concerned.
 The former Sheriff was arrested by Off, cers Cole and Divine or was at least taken in charge by them, having surrendered himself stating that he heard that he was wanted.
 Some months ago the department received a circuar and photograph of Brown, who was charged with absconding with a young woman. The affair created a sensation, and his family, who was left almost destitute, returned to their former home in Eden a small town near Pell City. An unsuccess- ful effort was made to locate the officers, and a description was sent out with in structions to have him apprehended.
 Brown was elected Sheriff of St Clair County by the Populists in 1S96 and his four-year term would not have expired un- til next September A. D. Treece, a Demo- crat was appointed to succeed him, and took steps to have him apprehended. Brown appears to be little worried over the affair, and says that he retained Judge J. T. Greene, of Ashville, to represent him. and that on his return to Eden recently he learned that his books had been examined and found all right. He further states that he has reconciled matters with his wife, and that soon as he secured work in Birmingham it was his intention to send for his family.
 Chief Austin is authority for the state ment that the woman in the case is also in the city, living a disreputahle life on the Southside. Nothing had been heard from the St. Clair County officials up to a late hour last night.
