NIGHTMARES OF FAMOUS MEN

The longest nickname ever bestowed
upon an individual was that given by
Sir Walter Scott to his friend and pub
Usher, John Ballantyne, who had a
most pompous and dignifed manner.
1t is a name one would not care to
be called upon often TO pronounce
rontiphoscophornio.
Sir Walter himself had a score or
more Of nicknames, of which one of
his best was a Homer. of q Poet.
We are so accustomed to hear George
Washington referred to as The Father
of His Country that it perhaps does
not occur to us that he had other
nicknames-all most complimentary,
as is quite right The Atlas of
America, The Flower of the Forest and
Lively Georgius. are among a few of
the dozen names bestowed upon him
by admirers.
Shakespeare had thirty and one
separate and distinct soubriquets given
him, of which one Of the compli-
mentary ones was the Swan of Avon
and THAT not so flattering-The Up
start Crow. Alexander PoDe's friends
called him The Little Nightingale, and
his enemies, an Ape.
Among the celebrated people who
have been likened unto animals are
Robert Southey, the Blackbird; Percy
b. Shelley, the Snake; Voltaire. the
Ape of Genius: the Devils Missionary
was another one of his pet names.
Cardinal Wolsey was the Butcher's
Dog and the Mastiff's Cur; Virgil. the
Swan Of Mantua; our President Mar

THERE MAY BE A CLASH
WILL BE IMPORTANT EVENT IN
SENATE THIS WEEK.
House VIII Rush Through Appro-
priation Bills and Will be Ready
For Adjournment Sine Die by
June This May be Delayed by
Proceedings in the Senate.

washington, May 13-The senate to-
morrow viii resume consideration Of
the naval appropriation bill, and it is
expected that the measure will be
passed during the day. Senator Chand-
Ter has given notice that he VIII call
up the Clark case on Tuesday, and
that he will endeavor to keep it before
the senate until vote is reached. This
programme viii meet with some objec-
ton, but it is expected the greater part
of the week viii be devoted to consid-
Grafton of this case.
Senator Wolcott some time ago gave
notice that he would call up the post
Office appropriation bill, and it is
thought that it might be disposed of
in a day or two.
There may be a clash over the Mon
tana case and other business, but the
Clark contest seems to be the only
event of Importance for the week.
The house this week will send to the
senate the last of the general supply
bills-the general deficiency and the
military academy appropriation bills
and will be ready for adjournment as
soon as the senate passes them and
adjusts the differences between the two
houses upon those already passed or
pending in conference.
These conference reports on appro-
priation bills are to be given the right
Of way from now until the end Of the
session. The house leaders say they
will be ready for the sire die adjourn
ment June /, but, allowing for delays
and accidents incident to the closing
up Of the session, they are not inclined
to think both houses win be ready to
quit before June 20. Later on, if COM
plicati0ns arise in the senate, the house
may emphasize its readiness to adj
journing over from day to day while
the senate is in the final throes of dis
solution.
The general deficiency bill will be
taken up tomorrow and it will be fol-
lowed by the military academy bill. It
is understood the senate army reOr-
ganiZation bill may be taken up on
Wednesday. The remainder of the
week until Saturday will be devoted
to miscellaneous matters.

MOB CAPTURES A TOWN,
Dispersed Once by Hose They Return
and Riot Epsues.


Pittsburg, Pa, May 19~-A mob Of q
600 men and boys has had possession Of
Turtle Creek, a small town eight miles
east of here. all evening, and at mid
night the sheriff was called to aid the
local officials.
The trouble was Drecipitated By the
board Of health trying to take posses
sion Of an abandoned school building
in the town for pest house. The citi-
zens objected to this, and when the
board members made preparations TO
remove six cases Of SMALLPOX to the
building they were prevented by the
mob Special officers were sworn in,
but they could do nething. The vOlun-
teer fire department succeeded in dis
persing the rioters by turning the hose
on them The crowd soon returned,
however, cut the hose, pelted the fire
men with stones and beat them with
clubs until the officers retreated. A
number of fremea were badly cut and
bruised.
They then surrounded the school
house, in which three of the members
of the health board had barricaded
themselves.
The sheriff and posse arrived at 1870
this morning, and commanded the
crowd to disperse. The men withdrew
some distance, but it is reported their
numbers are being constantly augment
ed, and it is feared trouble viii be re-
neWed later.

express desire to return to work new

How the News Was Received by
the Beers.
WOULD NOT BELIEVE 1T
GREAT FAITH THEY HAD
PLACED IN THEIR IDOL.
When Forced TO Realize That Their
Leader Had Surrendered, Strong
Men Broke Down and Shed Bitter
Tears-Realized Then That Their
Cause Was Lost.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
London, May 5.-The Daily News cor
respondent, A. G. Hales, who was
takeL prisoner By the Beers and re-
turned by them to General Gatacre,
sends his paper an account of how
the Beers received the news of Cron-
je's surrender. He was at Burgersdorp
when the news came through. He
writes
When the news came the folks
would not believe it. They would just
as soon believe that the sun could
taII from the heavens and leave the
earth in darkness as that Cronje, the
iron wllled, tiger hearted Cronte, could
throw down his arms. Had the news
came that he had made a mad rush
at our guns and persisted with all his
men around him, they might have be-
lieved it-belieVed it and wept, and
even as they weDt they would have
sworn to avenge him. But they would
not, they could not, and they did not
believe that he, the man in whom they
had placed their faith, had surrendered
with thousands Of his men
But at last the truth became known;
some who had escaped from Cronie's
lager brought in the fateful news, and
then the stolid looking fighting men
broke down. They wept like boys;
great, rugged, bearded men dashed
their rifles on the ground and spurned
| them with their boots, while down
their sun and wind tanned faces the
tears poured steadily.
Others took the news sadly with
ehins dropping OF their chests, with
HARDEST faces, while with passionate
pain too deep for words, they stood
leaning on their rifles with hands hard
gripped until one would think the
frightened muscles would leave the i'm
press of the strained fingers upon the
cold steel.
Blow Stunned Them.
"OtLers crowded together and looked
dumbly from face to face, like cattle
fOregathered. to the shambles. The
blow stunned them. To them Cronje
was something more than a man: he
was an idol; what the great Corsican
was to the French soIdiary after the
battle of Austerlitz, so CrOnje was to
these rude farmers. Had Paul Kru-
ger betrayed them to their foes for the
sake Of British gold, they would not
have felt the shock as they felt this
one mans surrender.
If CrOnje had loved his country half
as we'll as his country loved him, he
would have marched right on to the
point of a British bayOnet on that
morning so disastrous to the BOer
arms, and have Welded up his life in
order that the memory Of his name
might have remained as a watchword
on the lips and hearts Of his gallant
yeOman sOldiery.
When the crash came, when the
Beers knew for a certainty that Cronje
had yielded. they felt that their idol
was shattered. He had been to them
as god fashioned OFT Of marble; they
found him at last TO be only a man
made out of mud, and when he fell,
the Cape Dutch cause and the Orange
Free State fell with him. When he
laid down his arms he launched a
thunderbOlt into the Boer camp, which
wrecked it forever"
