CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S MONEY.


Communication from the United States
Government Which Surprise Him.
Captain John H. Austin, who boards
at the Hotel Savoy, Waterbury, and
who was for many years a New Haven
resident, received a rather curious COM
munication from the. pension Depart
ment at washington last Friday. The
waterbury Globe says: The letter is an
order for him to sign his name Captain
]. Fl. Austin, Company A, Twentieth
Volunteers, Indiana instead of Illinois
Mr.. Austin went out at the outbreak Of
the civil war as a captain Of Company
A, Twentieth regiment, Illinois Volun-
teers, and served through the war
When he was discharged there was half
a months pay coming to him, s64. He
had plenty Of money srt that time and
thought nothing of the pay, knowing
that it was in the governments hands
and that 1t was all right He didn't
make any application for it until thirty
years had passed, and then he was in
reduced circumstances. His lawyer in
formed him that there was also due
him 500 bounty money, and he received
$1S7 short time ago This was the
money due and interest less the law
yer's fee.
The lawyer then informed him that
there was 1914 still due him, as when he
was mustered out he was entitled to
transportation home. He paid his own
fare however, and a short time ago en-
tered claim for this To-day he re-
ceived a duplicate receipt for the mon
ey which was due him for thirty-five
years, but with note on the back to
sign his name as captain of the same
company in the Indiana regiment in
stead of the Illinois regiment.
Captain Austin is a newspaper COM
positor by trade and has been employed
in most of the newspaper and job offices
in waterbury and New Haven for years.
About forty years ago he was promi
nent newsdealer and bookseller in New
Haven. His father was Ansel Austin, a
much esteemed old resident, who died
years ago. He has one brother in New
Haven James A. Austin, the well
known proprietor of pleasure boats

smooth-ftting kid" gloves came from tho

colt, whose neck was slit on the plains of
Russia and whose tender hide was skipped
with huge bundles of other colts hides to

and other parts of Asia, rats, cats and

Baldy's chance for vengeance came. Who
can say how many soldiers on the eve Of
battle look forward to a possible chance
to take an undetected shot at hated Of
ficer? Badly had never made any threats
of this nature, yet his comrades, knowing
the bitterness of his feelings, half expect
ed something of that kind to occur.
That night 10000 men lay down to
sleep behind the American trenches. and
scarcely word was spoken above whis-
per. Nothing but the rumble of heavy
army wagons bringing supplies and am
munition along the road from Manila to
Caloocan broke the silence of the night
after taps Not so was it with the Filipi-
nos. Either unaware of the conflict await
ing them on the morrow. or relying too
much on the imprcgnable nature of the
intrenchments they had built with so much
labor and skill. they enjoyed themselves
long time after the buglcS had sounded
the order for the Americans to lie down
and get the rest needed for the serious
work Of the morning. Apparently some
one was delivering Il stump speech, for
there were frequent outburstS of yellS and
cheers, while their bugleS occasionally
played American airs, such as Marching
Through Georgia" and that army favor
lite, Hot Time in the Old Town." which
The National tribune., 1900-08-23

the Filipinos had been made to believe was
the American National air. About IL
o'clock the jollification ceased and was
soon followed by fusillade Of shots at
the American trenches, the Mauser bull
lets being accompanied by vile epithets,
such as are in too common use in the
army and had become in many cases the
Filipinos first lesson in English. The
Americans scorned to reply to either the
revilings or the shots, but slumbered as
well as possible under such conditions.
Going along the trench n little after
midnight the Captain of Baldy's company
found him standing bolt upright in the
angle where the trench was turned to the
rear to protect the flank, the company be

their return, and still others of sweet
hearts they feared would not wait; but no
such thoughts were in Baldy's mind. Wife,
children, mother, sweetheart, none of these
were in his vision of that happy hour. All
he could see was the despicable Sergeant
lying on the ground with bloody nose and
swollen eyes.
At last came the outbreak, and monot-
onous duty in the city was exchanged for
action in the field. The regiment became
veteran fighters during the two months
preceding the 25th of March, when they
stormed the Filipino intrenchments at Ma
labon, sweeping over five lines of de-
fenses, one after the other, like the re-
sistless waves Of the sea. 1t was then

Chinese books of instruction for girls

Chinese books of instruction for girls
consist chiefly of eXhortations to discharge
their duties as daughters. wives, mothers
and daughters-in-law. The Girls -Four
Books" to which two famous Emperors
wrote prefaces, describe how the female
mind and character must be trained. Mod
esty, gentleness, sclf-sacriice, wisdom, re-
spect for elders and a virtuous disposi
ton must be Il woman's equipment in life.
There is no pressing need for intellectual
education. However, about 100 in every
10000 women read, and that means read
with understanding the great books of
philosophy and literature, the works of
China's sages and poets. Such cases are
found among the aristOcratic classes, and
men of letters frequently teach their wives
and daughters not only the art of reading,
but that of writing, and go so far as to
publish their literary effusions.

No Pardon for R.in.b.rger..

rldora, Jan. 5.-Considerable has
been published in the newspapers re-
garding the attempt Of the notorious
Rainsbarger brothers to obtain par
don, releasing them from serving life
sentence at Anamosa. The Rainsbar-
ger brothers, Frank and Nathan, were
arrested, accused OF numbering Q. man
named johnson. Mr.. johnson was
Franks father-in-law. After lengthy
trial and at a cost of thousands Of
dollars, conviction was secured and
these men received life sentence. The
verdict was deservedly popular and the
men who were chiefly instrumental In
securing the conviction of the RAINS
bargers We're congratulated upon their
success. A short time since petition
was presented to Governor Shaw ask
ing that he recommend that the Rains
barger brothers be pardoned by the
legislature. Governor Shaw has refused
to do so.

SENATOR u'INTlRE,s VIEWS.
Says Board Will Not be Given Jurisdic
ton Over Our Insane Asylums

From Fridays Daily.
The attitude of the board of control
toward the Wapello COUNT insane asy-
lum has occasioned great deal OF
comment, and Courier reporter this
morning took occasion to sound Sena-
tor Mcfntire about his views on the
matter Mr.. McIntire said that in his
opinion the Wapello county institution
needed no supervision of the board un-
der the SUPPLEMENTARY of Mr.. Wilson,
but the fact remained that in other
counties the inmates might not be so
well cared for, and under a different
stewardship in this county matters
might not work as smoothly. He said
that the matter would not be given
entirely over to the board of control,
but that they would be given some
jurisdiction. Mr.. McIntire is in favor
of the existing order Of things in the
Wapello county asylum and gave it as
his opinion that he would fight any
measure that sought to render our in
stitution useless. In regard to the es-
adjustment of state normal school in
Ottumwa, the senator said he would
work for the measure and is heartily In
favor Of it, although there are some
obstacles in the way, which ne said the
reporter knew about. The reporter
didn't know about them, but before
he had an opportunity to ask, the train
pulled in and the senator boarded it,
bound for Des Moines.
