Voice From the Tomb.

Since that splendid soldier md pure
American patriot, General Lawton. who
was killed In the Philippines, left as u
legacy to the patriots of this country
letter in which he accused the Atkin-
son-Bryan cabal of aiding the rebellIous
Fillplnos, and with being responsible
for the death of every American soldier
shot by the rebels. there has been
disposition to throw dIscredlt on the au-
thenticity OF the letter. Such vile in
sInuations, however. were speedily con-
demned by the greater part Of the peo-
pie of the United States. But here
comes confederation of Lawton's words:
Grant A. White was captain of Com
pany B, First Arkansas Volunteers, in
the war with Spain. Last fal. he re-
ceived a commission as lieutenant in
the Thirty-thlrd regiment Of volunteers
and went to Luzon. Last Wednesday
his death was reported by General Otis.
A letter from him to Governor Jones, Of
Arkansas, is printed by the st. Louis
, Globe Democrat 1t was written at
Angogin, In northern Luzon, February
70. Lieutenant White congratulates
Governor Jones on being an expansion
list. He then relates this surrender OF
General Conception and stan. Two
members of the STAFF" he writes, spoke
good English, and the very FIRST ques-
ton they asked after business was over
was: viii Mr.. Bryan be elected Presl-
dent, and won't the Congress stop the
war in December? They seem to BIZ
mixed in their dates and thought an
election was pending. They expressed
great solIcitude for Mr.. bryan and call
cd him their good friend several
times"

of the office, and never lost an oppor-

demanding that the peace be preserved.
One day his son and his hired man got
to fighting on a stretch Of the farm near

Romance Of industry.

There is now and then something ro-

opments that are going on in West Nir-

Of nothing mere so t!,an the erection Of
a pulp and paper mill on the farm in
Randolph county belonging to L. D.
carrick, on which is located Carrick's
Ford, where one of the sharpest fights
In the war between the states took
place, and where General Garnet lost
his life. These fields once ploughed by
the cannon ball and whose surrounding
forests were Clipped by the minnie bal.
are now, after the lapse OF thirty-fiva
years, TO b. employed in sustaining life
by giving work to many people, and
whose sod at one time was drenched
with the blood of the brave-north and
south.
At last Peace has demonstrated, In
this occurrence. that her victories are
no less renowned than war. The bat
tletield wiped out with all its sad mem
cries by the smoking chimneys Of in
dustry, and where now the workman's
blouse Is seen instead of the travel
stained uniform. This Is going on in
other sections of the south. and soon

False Accusers.

To show the animus that has prompt
ed the most bitter attacks on President
Raymond, Of tho West Virginia Univs"-
sEty. 1t is only necessary to refer to the
retractior Of one OF his venomous as
sallants with regard to the regularity
with which the University obtained, as
a donation. a magnificent pipe organ.
This Morgantown paper, ably seconded
in abuse and epithet by a Democratic
journal at Fairmont, from which the
Intelllgencer expected better things, re-
gardless of the truth, knowingly and
purposcly, not only intimated, but with
dogmatic assertion claimed that the dom
ors we're fctIonal. and that DR.. Ray
mond, himself, ordered the organ In the
hope of having the bill paid at future
time by the board OF regents.
This charge. having no foundation eS-
cept possibly in the interminablc gossip
that has vitIated the air OF Morgan-
town, IS refuted by publication in the
Morgantown paper-a pill that must
have gagged 1t in swallowing-wa'ch
says:
"The donation of the big organ t.
the University has caused great dea'
OF speculation as to who the donors
were and 1t has been broadly intimIttd
in some quarters that they were aet'-
tious persons. This paper is in pos3cs-
sion Of information to the effect that
the donors are all right and that they
will present the organ to the institution
and no one need to trouble further
about 1t. The organ is a very hand
some gift"
DR.. Raymond may have come faults
but we do not think they are present in
greater degree than in those who are
yilllfyIng him. In any event he is on
titled to fair treatment. Back wound
ing calumny the whitest virtue strikes
and 1t lmpresses the Inte'lIsencer that
this organ episode is thoroughly dis
creditable to the manhood of those who
coneocted the fiction.

Their Wedding Journey.

Decorations and unique inscriptions
on wedding trunk In an express wa
gon amused crowd of men and wo-
men yesterday at Broadway and Thlr-
ty-sixth street. Nothing like It had
ever been seen before. at least in Bread
way. The trunk-a large one-was trim
med with numerous bows Of white and
green lace and the proverhinl old shoe
was attached to one of the handles
But the novelty that created laughter
was the two heart-shaped cardboards
tackled on the side OF the trunk. On
each OF these was inscribed:
Two souls with but single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one,
TOM and Kit,
They're on their wedding trip.
Please let them alone.

officers to be voted for at to-morrow's

often happens that in the excitement

neglected. Good men in the board OF

government as the sheriff or prosecutor
more so.

1Iinnesota,s Flsh census.

Minneapolis Tribune: The state
game and FISH commission has prepar-
ed statement regarding the kinds of
fish found in every lake stream in Min
nesota. The work is the result of a la
borious undertaking by the wardens of
the commission.
All the streams and lakes are enum-
Grated; the fish found therein, and
kinds. and the comparative abund-
ancc. as far MS can, be estimated, given.
Furthermore. sportsmen will be told
by the commission whether the water
is clear or muddy, good for game fish
or better for other species, and details
arc given regarding depth OF water
and the abundance Of food fish.
1t Is expected that this statement
will be of advantage in keeping the
lakes stocked, and that hereafter pros
ecutfons for violations OF the law viii
be easier as the oulprits will not be
able to swear that the FISH was caught
In international waters.
