Under Modern Gun Fire

One of the most vivid accounts of a bat tleield under modern conditions reaches the public through the medium of a private letter from one of the war correspondents of the London Daily News:
 As regards my own feeling in a fight they are very hard to describe; I know when the thing is all over and I am all right I feel much happier Any man who has been in a modern fight where men are being knocked over all around. and says he likes it, is a - liar. In former days it must have been different Tine enemy could be seen, the smoke could be seen, and the rife had to be reloaded after every shot. At 1000 yards you were in comparative safety. The infantry, after receiving one volley, could charge. knowing that until the enemy had loaded again each man was practically safe. Nowadays, that is all changed. Nothing is seen-no man, no smoke. The only thing seen Is the dust thrown up by the bullets, like rain-storm on the surface of lake. the artillery throwing shells, and the shells bursting. In contrast to this is the noise, which is infernal with occasional lulls it sounds as if a million kettle drums were being played "a constant tra-ra-ra-ra, with the boom, boom of the big guns and harsher sound Of the pumping of the Maxims Hotchklss, Maxim -Nordenfelts and machine-guns in general. The discord is appalling, as every gun has a different sound, and each shell going through the air huns or whistles according to its breed. After time you can tell what is coming, or, if it is one of your own, what is going.
 The most terrifying of the enemy's guns is sort of Hotchkiss, which fires about five rounds time. and throws one-pound she'll which bursts. You are safe nowhere, as bullet fired at an object at 800 wards which misses hits and kills at 2.000 or 5000. It practically means with these rifles that a bullet is never spent until it hits some- thing and remains there.
 When a bullet strikes you hear nothing; 1t goes right through a man and probably travels on anothec 1000 yards You hear grunt a gurgle and the man collapsea and doubles up; sometimes if hit in the arm or leg he spins round and falls. and probably gets up again. as it is only the shock which knocks him down, and he hardly feels it. At Modder River I went down with three guns of the Eighteenth battery to within 1900 yards. and saw five men go over, one after the other, but only one killed.

WOMAN IN JOURNALISM

Journalism has won its way to recogni- taon among the professions open to euu- caJted women. Glasses for its study are found in the more progressive womens colleges, and they are very popular and no doubt serve a good purpose in familiardz- ang young women with the use of their mother tongue and in teaching them dis crdmnataon, terseness and accuracy in writing and selection.
 A girl anxious to become self-supporting often feels that her speediest pathway is by the road of the newspaper. Law or medicine or art requires each an impera- tive term of study after graduation from college, but journalism is less jealously guarded and no tedious novitiate is neces- sary to the determined aspirant. Indeed the only safe and sure method of ascer' tainfng whether or not one may succeed il journalism Is comprised in single word try.
 It is like swimming. Your theories may be splendid as you stand on the bank, b'r you will never learn to swim-out of Uht

ATTEMPT UPON THE
 LIFE OF VULCAN Y Sensational Report from Paris Giving Meager Details. CAUSED MUCH EXCITEMENT His Majesty Only Slightly Wounded Will be Able to Proceed on His
 Journey, Arriving in Time for
 Carnival Celebration
CAUSED MUCH EXCITEMENT

Preparations for the carnival celebration which takes place on February 26 and 27 instants, are going steadily forward and w;ihin the next few days will be practically completed
 The officers of the carnival society were thrown into a state of great excitement yesterday by the receipt at lthe following telegram, giving an account of an attempt upon the life of Rex Vulcan V who is so- journng in Paris:
 Paris, February u.-After leaving the Grand hotel this afternoon for a drive through Tuilleries Gardens to visit the Arc de Thriomphe, when within about half a. block of the Arc de Thriomphe, Rex Vulcan was confronted by a howling mob of anti IDreyfusards. crying Vive TArmee.' Count de Nero jumped upon the step of his august majesty's carriage, and with his pocnard, made a savage lunge at the kings breast just as Ben Ali the faithful secretary to his majesty, partly warded off the thrust and knocked tlhe vile assassin from off the steps of the carriage, when Guarde RepuIblica dashed up, dispensing the mob and arresting the count His majesty was quickly driven back to the Grand hotel. where the famous docteur, De NdifSeot ndppeneu 10 De Tn the l0DDy and immediately adminfs tered to his ma jesty's wound. Everything is all excite ment about the hotel and many wild ru- mors are floating around. The prefeot of police arrived shortly after his majesty had been assisted to his apartments and within a few minutes President Loubet, accompanied by his suite. called to ascer- tain the particulars leading to the attack and paid his respects by decorating his majesty with the Legion d'Honneur. On account of the fear of international com plications arising out of this unwarranted attack upon his majesty's life, the presi- dent has established a strict censorship, and reports are very meagre. It is sup posed the attack was occasioned by the bitter feelings existing among the anti- Dreyfusards on account of the many indig- ing France and threats to boycott the Paris exposition.
 Later-Secretary Ben Ali has succeeded in having the censorship raised and Presi dent English is in receipt of the following cablegram
 President H. W. English, Mardf Gras

 His majesty requests me to have won advise his loyal subjects that his wound, although painful, is not at all serious. and asks that you and his loyal subjects sus- pend judgment until further investigation.

CHANGE OF POLICY
 IN THE PHILIPPINES
The New Commission Will be
 Superior to Military.
WILL APPEASE FILIPINOS
General Otis Will be Withdrawn as Soon as Practicable, But the Work of Suppressing the Rebel
 lion Will Not Cease

Washington, February 11.--(Special. .)-It Is understood to be the presidents intention as soon as conditions in the Philippines jus tify it. to make the power of the new Phil fppine commission superior to that of the military in the islands. This subordination of the control of the military is in accord ance with the presidents policy in Cuba, and is thought to be calculated to make the Filipinos more willing to accept the rule of our government. It is believed that it will be possible to withdraw General Otis from the Philippines by early spring. There is, however, no purpose on the part of the gov ernment to lessen its work of suppressing the rebellion. That must be precedent to the establishment of actual civil rule.
 The senator's whether republican or dem ocratic, who believe that the sovereignty of the United States must be recognized by the Filipinos, regardless of the policy that may be pursued with those islands later on, are becoming very weary of the attempts of men of the Pettisrew stamp to discredit the Amertcan forces, and of the plattudes of such men as Hoar regarding the Ffipinos.
 very prominent republican senator has in eontempla ton the introduction of a reso- luton that declares it is the purpose of the Limited States to suppress the rebellion in the Philippines and to have the sovereignty of the United States recognized throughout the Philippines" The resolution will also declare that when the rebellion is suppress ed and our sovereignty recognized, we will, and not till then, consider the question of a government for the Philippines and enact the legislation necessary to establish a government with such a degree of liberty and self government as the people of those islands are capable of.
 It is also proposed to add to that resolu- tion the bill of Senator Spooner granting to the president the power to govern the Phil ippines until congress otherwise directs. The chief purpose of the resolution just now is to see how the senators stand on this question The consideration of this resolu- tion should have that effect.

water The ever-to-be-forgotten MT. Squeers, of Dotheboys' Hall exemplifed the situation when he first taught his pu- pfs to spell window "winder,' and then set them to washing the same. You can never be a journalist until you begin; and your best beginning is ordinarily at the foot of the ladder in the obscure and useful role of the reporter
 The newspaper woman in her early days
 must be submissive and obliging maid of all work It is important that she shall
 know how to spell, how Ito write simple and straifhltforward English, Chow to con dense, cut off superflites and tell a large tih9ng in a little space. Equally 1t is
 esential for her to have mastered the are of rapid work.
 And she must have insight The whole matter of modern Journalism may be de- scribed in three phrases-to see, ito choose, to tell. A great deal which girl labor 1ously learns at college is of absolutely no value to her beyond its walls except as 1t may have trained lner in these three par ciculars; that is, if she has resolved to en- ter Journalism.
 Girls often leave college with a wish to enter the drawlng-room car of journalism, dsdaining the climbing process, which is usually inevitable. "l prefer the writing of book reviews they say, fanang to compre- bend that a wide experience of life and ma tur1ty of drought as weld as omnivorous reading must fl one for the office of critic; fatlng also to understand that they are asking for dessert before they Gnave even tasted the soup. The girl who is in dead earnest will, so to speak, lay aside all de- sire for case and at once accept any off fered assignment, going where she is sent doing as she is bidden, being precisely like a soldier on duty, and taking whatever space rates her paper pays wfth a grateful heart.
 By degrees the young woman who is all ways on time whose work is clean and sn- telligent, mot sloven1y and confused, and who has ear and an eye for wha tever days the news, foreign or domestic, is gath cred according to organized system, and the young reporter must rather write charming and clever paragraphs about people and incidents than be on the watch for happenings outside her sphere of ser vice.
 woman needs a firm stock of health if she is to be journalist. For she may have hate hours and long ones and she must work thardd and encounter every sort of weather in the calendar She must pos sess common sense and dress properly for her work. A short skint, thick boots, trim small hat, business dress well as a business air are requisites Of the news paper wonan's outfit Feathers and pie ture hats and tags and frpperies are out of place for her.

THE PLAY

16, at O'Brien's opera house when Willie Collier will present his new comedy, "Mr. Smooth" of which he is the author. The farce has been successful since its produc- tion. The story of MT Smooth" is that of a breezy Chicago youth of inimitable nerve, who introduces himself into the house of a wealthy New York banker, pretending to be the son of an old business partner named Smooth. The right Smooth appears. and three acts are employed to illustrate the chicanery of the suppositions to keep one from being exposed. Wrought into this train of absurdities is a story of sentiment which reaches a happy denouement coinci- dent with the clearing up of the mystery surrounding the two Smooths.
 In the production of MT. Smooth MT. Collier will have the support of John w. Ward, George w. Parsons, Alfred Hick- man, Thomas Evans, M. L. Heckert, Helen Re.mer, Helena Collier Myrtle May, Louise Alien Collier and others.
