COMMUNICATING GEN. LEE.
a Little Southern Story That Shows
How the Confederate General
Was Revered.

Few defeated generals have been so
revered as was Robert E. Lee. Every
southern man and woman admired
him. The author of ga Girls Life in
Virginia" tells a little story that
shows how much he was loved by chill
dren.
A year after the surrender Gen. Lee
journeyed across the mountains on his
old war horse, Traveller to pay
visit to the authors mother. On the
night of his arrival he said:
To-day an incident occurred which
gratiied me more than anything that
has happened for long time. AS I
was riding over the desolate noun
tain region, I was surprised to find,
on sudden turn in the road, two lit
tie girls playing on a large rock.
They were poorly clad, and after
looking at me moment began to run
away.
"'Children,' said I, don't run away!
If you knew who I am, you wouldn't
run away from me-
1--WE do know YOU they answered.
You never saw me BEFORE I said,
for I never passed along here
But we know you said the chill
dren. we've got your picture IN our
house. You're Gen. Lee! We amt
dressed clean enough to see YOU and
they scampered off to a hut on the
mountainside."
Then the general told of another
adventure that he had had the same
day. While riding through thick
woods he met a man who, recognizing
him, stopped, and throwing up his
hat in the air, exclaimed: General,
please let me cheer you'll" and then he
hurrahed as loudly as he could.
Gen. Lee was too great a man to be
excited by ordinary applause. On the
contrary, he was annoyed by a COM
pliment to his va1or or skill as a gen
era1. But he was touched by the
compliment which the two little girls
of the mountain paid him: Eve amt
dressed clean enough to see youi''

HAVANA. Dec. 27.-In the future clerks

lect their pay in fees This will cost the
government s160, 900 year. but the clerks
by being provided with regular salaries
will not be exposed to such strong temp
tation to extortion and other forms
of dishonesty as may arise by their not
having a regular income.
The story that a money bribe was Of

with the sewering and paving contract

created feeling of dissatisfaction among
all classes The "Diario de la Marina"

tion with the contract is deplorable. Gov
ernor General Wood says that the person
offering bribes, If such there be, will cnly

At tomorrows meeting of the ayunta-

Mayor Rodriguez will be introduced. The

A Tramp Steamer ..rrives NJ Ber-

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Dec. 27-The
British tramp steamer Arthur Head. Cap

Georges this morning with her interme-
diate shaft broken and her boatswain
dead. The steamer left st. Georges on
December Is. bound for Hampton Roads
When about 200 miles from here she ran
into hurricane. Huge seas boarded the
vessel and raced her decks from stem to
stern
During the height Of the gale the shaft
broke. Several of the crew, including the
boatswain, went into the well to make
repairs in order to prevent the punching
of holes in the hull by the broken shaft.
While engaged in this work John Thorn
oson. the boatswain, got caught in the
machinery and was literally torn to
pieces. Thomson. who was unmarried.
was a native of Hull, England. His body
will be buried here.
The shaft broke on the morning of De-
cember II and the steamer has been slow
ly working back to port ever since. She
will be delayed here for at least a month.

The Missing MIR. Grove.

In his conduct of the Cudahy enter
prise, which signalized his first appear
ance as an exponent of the kidnapping in
played such rare judgment and business
ability as to almost obscure the unpleas-
ant characteristics of the adventure. An
operator so bold, cool and skillful de-
serves better fate than to be locked UP
in dreary cell throughout long days oi
labor, and nights devoid of ease" This
probably is why Mr. Grove is avoiding
communication with the police. and ap-
pears to be able to spend the holidays in
peace and plenty far from the madding
crowd who are after him, but more par
ticularly after the reward offered for his
arrest.
Perhaps it is a question whether he will
ever be taken or not-at least on the
present charge. If not, we may be sure
that he will not long allow talents like
his to be buried in napkin. other million
aires will ride in buggies by night to
lonely bushes and enrich the circumjacent
soil with bags of yellow gold. 1t is a pity
oftener be induced to forsake their er-
ratio courses and to devote their resource
ful genius to pursuits OF which public opin-
ion approves. Iii the case in point. fer ex-
ample. how much good might be accom-
plished II the Governor of Kentucky were
TO assure Mr.. Grove of his protection. and
offer that enterprising gentleman twenty
.l,o, 0sfa
sive fugitive from justice. Taylor, and
bring him safely over the river to stand
his trial for the part he is accused OF act
ing in the murder of Governor Goebel!
Governor Beckham has the necessary mon
ey. and Mr.. Grove the necessary skill and
ability Why would not it be an excellent
plan to combine these elements for the
public good? Mr.. Cudahy does not need
Mr.. Grove, and should he get that gentle
man it would cost him another twenty
five thousand, and the man who earned 1t
might thereby enter upon dissipated
courses, or become discontented with his
station in life. 1t would be better to
abandon the pursuit and permit Mr.. Grove
to negotiate with the Kentucky authori-
ties without fear of molestation.
Taylor has decided to settle perma-
nently in Indiana and. in company with
brother fugitive from justice and a local
attorney. TO practice law. He is readily
located and ought to be an easy mark for
a first-class kidnaper. after time hss
quieted his guilty fears little. The
American public generally would shout
with proper glee to see him tied neck
and heels and rowed across the Ohio to
the old Kentucky shore. They would
then proceed TO admire and praise Mr..
Grove, to forget the slight irregularity
of his Omaha performance, and to con-
slider him a reformed person and an ex-
emplary citizen worthy almost of pre-
siding eldership. Where it is so easy
to put special talents to a noble public
use. it makes US sad to think that views
such as we here express are but too
probably to be classed as Utopian.

The Mistakes of GrigEs.

(From the Philadelphia Ledger)
Ia his argument before the United States SUI
preme Court the other day Attorney General
Griggs excused the levying OF duties on merchan-
disc imported from our new territories b. citing
the example Of other nations monarches autoc-
racies, etc. England he said, to-day levies
duties on the merchandise of all her colonies
when brought into the United Kingdom" No
doubt; but the United Kingdom is not the United
States, nor are its colonies our territories
When the Attorney General argues to the contrary
he begs the question. II is a misnomcr in the
estimation of Englishmen themselves to call Eng
land even constitutional monarchy one OF the
able-t and most enlightened Of her sons having
just publicly referred to what he styles ''the
mass of precedent miscslled our constitution"
A high official Of the United States who ventures
to gauge the power OF Congress by TIE practice
of Parliament must be very far gone in mper-
ialism, TO say nothing of the wles of sophistry.

Choctnws Refuse to Move to Indian

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 27.-The Dawes
Indian Commission. which has just ex-
amined the Mississippi Choctaws to find
out who among them were entitled to a
share in the division of the Choctaw
lands. has informed the Indians that in

Without an exception. however. the Mis-
sissippi Choctaws have refused to move to
the Territory They have transferred
their rights in the property to their sons
and grandsons who are willing to emf

of their ancestors.

Business Education.

II is trite saying that net all the edu-
cation in the world is gained from books;
but perhaps most people DO not fully re-
alize how great an educational force. for
good or evil. Is TO be found in the great
industrial enterprises of the present day.
The department store. the factory, the
mine, are ell universities for the common
people, and the young man who has to
work for his living from boyhood may be
learning, from his boss" or his eompan-
ions much the same lessons that the col
legian gets from his masters and class
mates ir. the laboratory or lecture-room.
It must be remembered that moral train
ing-that is. the education which affects
character-is at least as important to the
Commonwealth as intellectual training,
which, in the nature Of things, cannot be
shared equally by all.
The department store is perhaps as
notable an educational institution as can
be found in modern life. and one need
only study the different establishments of
this kind in Washington to see how the
tone of each is determined by the pro-
prietors. The owner OF such business
very nearly unlimited. IL he is the kind
Of man to make his influence felt If
he Is just. upright. honorable man. de-
termined that his business shall be
honest. and he himself known to his
neighbors as honorable and generous,
this determination will be felt by every
empIoye down to the cash boys. More
Ia @ha
10 find the service better than elsewhere.
for, as a shrewd boy once said, you've
got to be smarter to be good and make
money than IL you was dishonest" The
man who is determined TO employ no
crooked business methods must make up
for the sums he might thereby gain by
insisting on a higher standard of eff
cheney In his clerks.
There are business houses in every city
with which II is an honor to be connected
because all their methods are clean. hon
est. and upright. There are others in
which 1t is almost impossible to be strict
ly honest. Anyone can see how the boys
and men trained in these two kinds of es-
tablishments are likely to turn out as cit
politicians who have received the wrong
kind Of training in commercial life, and
having learned the all-important lesson
that dollars are worth more than any kind
of sentiment, proceed 10 carry out that
lesson in managing the affairs OF the
country.
Aside from the strictly moral aspect OF
the matter, every business man has an in
tellectual influence over his employees. 1t
IS his right and his duty TO permit no
careless or s!ipshod work. for this is an
injury not only to himself bat to the pub
lie and the employe He should exact
courteous manners from every person In
the establishment. He should himself set
the example Of courtesy. and It should be
possible for every man and boy In the
place to say that however hard they are re-
quired to work. they york no harder than
the "boss." He should see TO 1t, II possi-
Bile. that no one is overworked, for many
