It came with Fredericksburg. Ny an

the retreat of the union army led to
trouble. I was captured by three con-
federate stragglers and taken down
the Rappahannock in a rowboat. They
suspected me of being spy, I suppose,
and the photograp hing apparatus

words in mans mouth. The officers

FOOD FOR RRFLaerzoY.
Millions Are wasted Every Year In
Repairing Roads which Were
Worthless to Begin with.

There is food for thought in the
report of the Maryland geological sur
vey for 1899. In the first place we
are told that the people of Maryland
have expended during the last ten
years upon the so-called construction
and repair of their own roads, the
sum of no less than $4,000, COO. Tt
seems that the greater part of this
money has been frittered away in the
attempt to repair roads which have
been poorly laid out in the first place,
and for the lack of certain necessary
engineering qualifications can, in the
nature of things, never be made into
good roads. As an instance of this
it may be mentioned that many of
the common roads have no natural
drainage. We are told that most of
them are in poor condition for
part of the year, and some of them
for the whole II months.
AS the result of careful estimate
made by the survey, it is shown that
the farmers of the state of Maryland
expend S., 100000 a year more on their
hauling over the present poorly built
highways than would be necessary if
the hauling were done on first-class
roads. These figures are to be COM
pared with the information collected
by the department. of agriculture in
1895, when, as the result of data re-
ceived from 1000 counties in various
parts of the United States, it was
ascertained that the average cost of
hauling one ton for one mile over
country roads was 25 cents; which was
just three times as much as the aver
age cost of hauling over the improved
macadam roads of six European coun-
tries. If this large sum of money
represents the loss to the state of
Maryland from poor roads, it is easy
to say that the total loss throughout
the whole United States represents
figure so great that it must have an
important bearing upon the prosper
ity of the country at large, and par
ticularly upon the farming interests
as such.
At first sight it seems incredible
that in a country so progressive as
ours the condition of the common
roads should be over half a century
behind that of the old world. It is
true that the vast extent of the
United States, and the great mileage
of our roads in some states relative
to the density of the population. may
be offered as an excuse for our back
wardness; but while this plea may
hold good as regards the thin1y popu-
lated western and southern states, it
cannot be applied to the older, more
populous and wealthy sections of the
country. American.

COL. BOB AND GEN. LEE.
An Old Army Mule That Obeys Mill
tary Orders and Needs No
Driving Lines.

A military mule and military negro
driver are curiosities of the street
cleaning department, and when the
pair get Bay street assignment they
command lots of attention. A reporter
was near the corner of Bay and Hogan
streets the other day when Col. Bob,
the negro, and Gen. Lee, the mule, came
to empty the garbage barrels. says the
Florida Times-Union and Citizen.
Halt" rang out in stentorian tones,
and caused everybody to look up. Col.
Bob hoisted the barrel and the mule
tried to kick fly from his nose with
his hind hoof. "'Tentioni" called Col.
Bob in military accents, and the.mule
prieked up his ears and threw his head
high in the air.
When the garbage had been collected
and, shou1dering his spade, he called
Fright wheel, forward march," and
without CHANGING at the mule Col. Bob
marched across the street and Gen. Lee
wheeled around and crossed over, until
the cry "Haltl" again greeted his long
ears. When the dump cart had been
filed Col. Bob mounted the seat and
called ",Tention, parade dress, step
lively now" and without requiring Col.
Bob TO touch the lines the mule took
the right side Of the street and went of
at quiet trot.
Gen. Lee was formerly an army mule
and was purchased by the city when
the soldiers left Jacksonville at the
close of the Spanish-American war.
Col. Bob was q truckman in the COM
missary department. and drove Gen.
Les during the encampment here.

M,KINLRY,s WAR RECORD.
a ThriIIing Incident Of the battle OF
Antietam in Which He Was the
Central Figure.


''There are some romances OF war
which almost reconcile one to its grim
tragedies, because war alone can weave
the threads and develop the qualities
of heroes said a writer in Success.
''The civil was had scarcely broken
out when a sturdy lad of II walked into
the recruiting office of John C. Ere
mont, the great pathfinder, in an Ohio
town.
HE simply asked to be enlisted and
sent to the front. His eagerness was
noticed by the veteran plainsman, who
spoke kindly to him and ordered that
his name be enrolled.
There began life romance which
eliminated in the white house. The
boy was William Mckinley. He was
assigned to the Twenty -third Ohio regi-
ment, of which Rutherford B. Hayes
was colonel.
which, in my opinion, is one of the most
thrilling of that awful war. Lee had
pushed his victorious legions into
Maryland. Stonewall Jackson was by
his side. Longstreet was in the front
Of the f1ght-au on the southern side.
On the northern side were Mcclellan
and Sheridan, grinly contesting every
foot of the advance. On the first day
of the battle, September II, 1862, the
troops on both sides fought with such
desperation that no less than $4,000
men were wounded or killed. On the
second day, from early morning, Lees
terrific fire was directed upon the fed
era1 line, which had been turned
against his right. On the banks of
the creek, to the left of the bridge, was
the Twenty Ohio. Col. Hayes had
been wounded shortly before, at South
Mountain, SO he was not in command
of his regiment this day. He was in
the village a few miles to the rear,
watching the smoke of battle in agon-
lied unrest. Gen. Scammon was in
command in his stead. Away to the
rear was the commissary sergeant of
the hot and dusty day wore on and
evening fell this sergeant grew impa-
tent to be at the front, not to fight,
but to carry food and drink to his ex-
hausted comrades, who had had neither
breakfast nor dinner. Finally he hooked
up two wagons, called for volunteer
drivers, and started for the front with
out orders. AS he approached the front
one team of mules was shot down.
With the other he pushed on, Drawing
the leaden hail and the bursting shells,
and succeeded in reaching the boys of
his command.
Chow they cheered him as he drove
up! A few minutes later Gen. Scam

PICTURES OF THE SLAIN.
Grevvsome Enterprise of a Case Hard
ened Photographers who Took
ssSIttings'' of the Dead.

There are those who recall entertain
ingly recollections of photogra phing
the dead. With one of these the mar
rator is acquainted. and in a recent
conversation he INDUCED in tales OF
experiences that are worth repea ting,
says the Philadelphia Times. Said he:
I first took pictures of the dead on the
battlefield of Antietam. twas warm
September morning, three days after
the great fight. I had a boy with me
to assist in preparing the chemicals.
He only worked for an hour With
boysh curiosity he went pol1ing about
and picked up an unexploded shell. He
was then on the bank of a creek about
half mile off. I never knew how it
happened, but the bomb exploded and
almost blew him to pieces.
st would be useless to go over the
scene of that carnage again to tell of
the CHASTITY aftersights of that awful
fight, which made so many widows and
orphans. 1 was nervous and excited,

quiet my nerves when I unwittingly

could not have been driven to attempt
under ordinary conditions.
"Why did 27.aOO Spanish soldiers at
Santiago surrender to 10000 American
soldiers, when the Spaniards were en-
trenched and the Americans were on
the outside and in the trenches? It was
because those American soldiers repre-
sented the invincible power of Right,
and those who were in the wrong knew
it. Moreover, preceding circumstances
manifesting the power of right princi-
pies made destiny so apparent that
even the Spanish government at Mad
rid saw the handwriting on the wall
and authorized that surrender. Other
wise the hundred thousand Spaniards
under command of Gen. Blanco might
until this day have been carrying on
war, living on the country, and battling
superior numbers. The surrender at
Santiago was the consummation of
great plan, far above and beyond
human knowledge"
The soldier-philosopher went on to
say: ''In the preliminary develop
ment of this new world, the Spanish
freebooters under De Soto, Cortes,
Pizarro, and the rest, were an essential
element But when their time came to
make way for better men and purer de-
signs those Spanish freebOoters had to
give way. 1t was the elimination of

the cheering. Instead of reprimanding

thoughtfulness and bravery and per-
mitted him to distribute the refresh
ments under fire. With his own hand
Sergt. McKinley-for it was he-passed
around cups of steaming hot coffee and
liberal rations of bread and meat. The
fight was maintained right along. The
battle proved to the north that Lee
could be defeated.

heard of this exploit that he asked
Gov. Todd, of Ohio, to commission the
boy lieutenant. This was done Sep
