In view of the recent discussion
whether Frank S. Rosenthal OF Carroll
ton, Mo-, Louisiana Tiger is the
man who fred the shot which resulted
in the death of Stonewall Jackson, a
review of the facts in this case may
prove interesting. Gen. Clement A.
Evans. who was a colonel in Gen.
Jackson's command at the time, and
who later was promoted to the COM
mand of the famous Stonewall brigade,
when told of Mr.. Rosenthars fears
that he was the particular man who
fired the fatal shot, said the idea of
any one man thinking he was respon-
sible for Jackson's death was ridicu-
ious. "There were three distinct
wounds" said Gen. Evans, "and to the
best of my recollection the shots were
fred by North Carolina troops" Gen.
Evans referred to Memoirs of Stone
wall Jackson" by his widow, Mary
Anna Jackson, says the Atlanta CGa)
News This gives a complete account
Of the untimely accident which took
from the southern forces their most
brilliant leader. Col. Augustus Choate
Hamlin names the 33d and 18th North
Carolina regiments as the ones imme-
aiately adjacent to the spot where Gen.
jackson was shot and the 18th is
named as firing the fatal shots. Mrs.
gackson's account, in part, of the ac-
rident, in her work on the life of her
husband, is as follows: Gen. Jack
son, accompanied by a part of his staff
and several couriers, advanced on the
turnpike in the direction of the enemy
about 100 yards, when he was fired
upon by volley of musketry from his
right front. The bullets whistled
among the party and struck several
horses. This first was evidently from
the enemy and one of his men caught
the bride rein and said to him. Gen.
Jackson, you should not expose your
self so much. There is no danger,
be replied, the enemy is routed Go
back and tell Gen. Hill to press on. ,
But in order to screen himself from
the flying bullets he rode from the road
to the left and rear. The small trees
and brushwood being very dense, it
was difficult to effect a passage on
horseback. While riding as rapidly as
possible to the rear, he came in front
OF his own line of battle, who, having
no idea that he, or any one but the
enemy, was in their front, and, mis-
taking the party for a body of federal
cavalry, opened a sharp fire upon
them. From this volley Gen. Jackson
received his mortal wounds. His right
arm was pierced by bullet. his left
arm was shattered by two balls, one
above and one below the elbow, break.

dashboard of his river craft, but that
they have one fault, for which, how
ever, he does not blame them. They
sometimes sweep their powerful tails
in a curve through the water, and once
smashed one of his boats into small
bits and threw Mr. Lee and party
that he was taking boat riding into the
river. They would all have been
drowned bad not the alligators swan
back to them and permitted the party
to climb on their backs, after which
the alligators swan swiftly to the
shore and all were saved Mr.. Lee
now bitches his team twenty feet in
front of the boat, so that the sweep OF
their tails will not endanger the craft
Mr.. Lees success has created great
interest among all of his neighbors
and now many alligators are being
trained for duty as sea horses.
A mans true character crops out
when he is dealing in tribes.

When, laden with the fruitage OIL -

Thy mines ard looms rich spoli-
To lands remote, thy peaceful arsosi0S
Sail forth with favoring breeze
And through thy valleys, plains anu

Peace crowned with comfort

Vaunt not myself exulting! Lift thine

To the eternal skies,
Acknowledging a nations true SUCCESS
Depends on righteousness.

II Is not mastery of many LANDS
That highest praise commands.
Imperial splendors fade, and earthly

Will fall and disappear.
But justice and right purpose ana true
worth
These things abide on earth.
And thou shalt only rise to thy true
height
While these thou keepest bright;
Shalt only win to lasting, living tame
And these adorn thy name;
Shalt only have the love of all the race
If these bestow their grace.

Captain L. T. Brown, a military mau,
won his partnership because of his re-
markable capacity as a practical OPP
orator. He was formerly employed
as superintendent at the Moorhead
Mills, where his reputation was
made. The Carnegie company made
him handsome offer and placed
him in charge of the Union Mills. To
the amazement of Mr.. Carnegie, Mr..
Schwab and the others, Mr.. Brown,
without increasing the plant by so
much as a smoke-stack, trebled the
production of these mills, feat with
out parallel He was admitted to
partnership in '92. Among the other
partners who belong to the operating
staff and who won their spurs are Mr..
&. F. Wood, assistant to the general
superintendent of the Homestead
works, and who ranks as the finest
metallurgist in the country; Mr.. James
Hunter, the superintendent of the Low
er Union Mills. who was admitted to
partnership five years ago; Mr.. A. e.
Hunt, who is the superintendent of the
armor-plate mills at Homestead, a
position in which he succeeded Mr..
Corey. now president of the company;
and Mr.. A, G. Dinkey. general superin-
tendent of the Homestead Works, who
left the farm at fifteen and struck out
for himself. These men all came up
from the ranks. So with the other
members of "The Thirty" None of
them had either money or influence to
help them along. They made their own
way by hard work, by loyalty to their
employers, and by using to the best
advantage the brains that God gave
them. Their example is one to inspire
every young American Philadelphia

The acquisition of new territory has
stimulated American interest in travel,
both at home and abroad. Just now
the ten-thousand mile trip of the pres
idential party is having an effect in
the same direction, as will the several
congressional parties which are max
ing preparations to go to the Philip
pines. The steady current of informa-
tion coming from all these outlying
islands is quickening the enthusiasm
of American travellers and making us
to an extent familiar with the world. "
To render the familiarity an influence
for good everywhere should be our
main concern.

Evans wouldn't Re Hoodooed.

Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans was
once in the lighthouse service. In "A
Sailors Log" published by the Apple
tons, he tells of one of his experiences,
as follows; Il found most of the light
mouse keepers in Virginia waters were
colored men, put in Office by General
Malone and his followers. Many Of
them had to be removed, generally be-
cause they would go to sleep and neg

The disconnected worries of a mo-
rose person may very likely shorten
his days and the general justice Of
natures arrangement provides that
his early departure should entail no
long regrets On the other hand, the
man who can laugh keeps his health.
To the perfectly healthy laughter
comes often. Too commonly, though,
as childhood is left behind the habit
fails. and a half smile is the best that
visits the thought-lined mouth of a
modern man or woman. People be-
come more and more burdened with
the accumulations of knowledge and
with the weighing responsibilities of
life. but they should still spare time to
laugh.

tary discipline and promptly called the
lieutenant down. The rude junior Of
fcer. naturally enough, didn't like the
call in front of his lady friend and got
hot under the collar. He lost his head
and had the impudence to tell the
major that it was none of his business.
One word led to another, both being
proud-spirited American soldiers, and
finally the major called the lieutenant
a liar. Major Clarity, for that was his
name, may have been little rough.
but then we must take into considera-
ton the gravity of the thoughtless
lieutenant's offense. If we are to be
a world power we must be up to snuff,
and there is no use trying to have a
real army unless the junior officers can
dance the two-step and dance 1t right.
Some of our older citizens who remem-
Der the dark days of the rebellion will
remember how fortunate it was that
General Grant had learned to dance
the two-step and keep time with the
orchestra. They will also recall the
Importance of General Shermans we'll
known dancing ability on his justly
celebrated march to the sea. AS for
General Sheridan, we all remember
how lucky it was at Winchester that
Sheridan knew how to gallop. Had he
tried to waltz that day the battle might
have been lost. Men who have not
lived a military life have dim idea
at best of the advantages of having
army officers who can dance. ANY man
with two sound legs can march, but
not all men can master the rhythmical
cadence of the dance There is a har-
monious twist to the legs and mus
ical pattering of the feet that not all
men can catch on to. To do the thing
right one must drop his feet on the
waxed floor at just the right jab in
the music or the troops are apt to get
panicky and stampede. The first false
two-step may prove fatal. History
tells us that Caesar invariably two
stepped out in front of the infantry just
before battle and did few terpsi-
chorean stunts to convince the troops
that he was feeling like a colt and
hoped they were the same. Marc
Antony in his expurgated memoirs
tells of how he used to waltz Cleopatra
up and down in front of the troops
just to show them that he was it. And
the only battles he ever lost were those
that he butted into without having &
chance to dance. Marcus Aurelius. too
appreciated the Importance of the Two
step on human valor, and history tell
us that he used to get the troops OIL
the ballroom floor just before the hat
tie and do four-step on horseback
The effect on the soldiers was magical
They Immediately left the giddy bali
room and wanted to fight.

Every year at Tunis solemn re-
ligious service is held in memory OF
the early Christian martyrs, Viva,
Perpetua and Felicia. The ceremony
was conducted this year few weeks
ago by Mgr. Combes, archbishop of
Carthage. One of the most picturesque
incidents in the celebration was the
procession to the subterranean cham
bers attached to the ancient arena of
Carthage, the very place where, in the
third century, the two martyrs were
delivered to the wild beasts.

KiowdS On Qui YiYe.

When the next new moon appears in

lutte the bright orb from every Kiowa
village in the Indian Territory. All
Kiowas are awaiting the event with
eager anxiety, for it is to be the be-
ginning of a wedding festival which
will last for three days and nights.
The contracting parties are of royal
blood, the bride being the beautiful
Loralene, the richest heiress of the
Kiowas, and it is anticipated that no
means will be spared to make the festi-
val the greatest ever witnessed among
the tribes of the west

wife. He had many rivals and during

have been periods when it looked as
though he would fail.

Loralene was as coquettish as she
was pretty. When she was little her
mother named her Tena, which meant

The earthquake waves due to the
Japanese shock of June 10, 1896, were
recorded ON the self-registering gauges
at Honolulu and at Saucelita, in the
bay Of San Francisco. DIR. Charles
Dawson has recently compared the
calculated velocity of the earthquake
waves with the velocity formerly cal
culated from the usual formula. He
found that at Saucelito, for example,
the first crest of the waves reached the
tidal gauge 10 hours and "a minutes
xfter the shock, having traversed in
this time the distance of 47S7 miles at
an average of 664 feet second.
