The Third Day.
At dawn on July 3, with Hancock in
command Of the Union army In the
field, fighting for the recovery of the
works on Culps Hill began and contin-
ued until nearly noon, when the Confed-
crates were driven out, the line re-es-

again made secure. The Confederat
losses In this part of the field were
severe, and the Federal losses also
large. At about l p. m. Lee opened
upon the Union center with about 155
guns, and Meade replied with about
eighty. This grand artillery duel con.
tinued without intermlsslon for two
hours, and the very earth quaked un.
der the tremendous explosion from
more than 200 cannon.
At 3 p. IN. Pickett's division of Long.
streets corps advanced to the charge.
The division was composed of $4,000
men and they were of the flower of the
splendid army. The advance was made
in three lines across the very gently
rolling slopes of the valley for n dis
lance of about 1 400 yards, over most Of
which 1t was exposed to a conyergino
artillery fire, and after passing the EN-

about two hours. until Reynolds, who

for the runor that he intends to make

full, owing to the pressure of public
business, especially with regard to
South Africa, whether he will be able
to leave England at all.

The Peril of Pride.

Once there were some very swagger
people in an ultra village not far from
the metropolis who decided that no
society vet punched together was ex-
elusive enough for them, says G.. w.
Wharton, in the Smart Set. Even the
Colonial Danes failed to meet the re-
quirements. So they determined to
start a new aggregation that should
be the real thing.
After considerable thought they con-
cluded that if they limited membership
to direct descendants of Fernando de
Soto it would be sufficiently exclusive
for their fastidious tastes. "a Society
of the Sons and Daughters of de Soto
was the outcome. All the best people
in the village proved that they were
eligible and were enrolled as charter
members.
However, there was one man on the
outer fringe whose proof of descent was
not accepted; in short. he was black
balled. This made him angry, and he
started to investigate the subject.
One day he published his findings in
the local newspaper. The principal
fact was this: IF. de Soto died a
bachelor
The Sons and Daughters of de Soto
are now known as the Elite Euchre
Club.

White Skirt Trees Girl.

Blown about by the winds, a white
skirt landed in the middle of Michigan
avenue yesterday afternoon, says the
Chicago Chronicle. A few seconds
later ten chorus girls were released
from Imprisonment on the top of the
Fine Arts building.
The girls, who were members of the
King Dodo Company, had climbed to
the roof of the building to witness the
yacht race. In the excitement occa-
stoned by the victory of the Invader
they forgot that the hour for the mat
inee performance was drawing near I'M
til few minutes from the time set
for raising of the curtain. Then the
girls started to climb down the stairs.
At the bottom an obstacle presented
itself in the shape of a locked door.
Repeated knocks failed to bring any,
one to open it and. the girls began to
see visions of a frantic stage manager.
They returned to the roof.
For a time the girls tried to attract
the attention of the people on the
street by singing airs from the comic
opera and shouting, but their voices
could not be heard ten stories below.
Then Carolyn Mason thought of a
method of affecting the release of her
companions.
Let us write a note and drop it into
the street." she said.
But IL will blow away" another girl
suggested.
We'll, pin it to one of our skirts and
then the people are sure to see it," was
the reply.
The suggestion met with approval.
Then came a few minutes of debate
over who should furnish the skirt. Net
tic Cooper finally volunteered and the
note was pinned to the garment. The
| skirt and its attached missive were
dropped to the street. The note was
found by paSser-by who read 1t.
'Ten girls are imprisoned on the top
of the Fine Arts building. Notify
Manager Clark" read the mssive. The
| suggestion was complied with and the
girls were released.
In the meantime the stage manager
had been Tuning and fretting. A roll
call had assured him that Carolyn Ma

caster were missing. When the girls
| reached their dressing-rooms they were
| obliged to make UP in exactly five min
utes. They accomplished this difficult
| feat and the curtain rose after FIVE
minutes delay. 1t was afterward dis
covered that the door at the foot of
the stairs leading to the roof had been
closed by gust of wind.

Ho,yIsoN,s RECORD.

II is evident from the steps being
taken by his attorneys that Admiral
Schley is going TO make very vigor-
Gus fight in defense of his reputation
as a naval officer. His enemies in the
Navy Department, who kept nagging
at him, and finally made open charges
against him. will have every possible
chance to prove what they have been
saying against him.
1t seems that Admiral Schley's coun-
sci have some doubt as to the fitness of
Admiral Howison to act as a member
of the court of inquiry. Some inter-
views. in which It is alleged that in his
opinion Admiral Sampson was entitled
TO the credit of the Santiago victory
even though he was not present, that
Admiral Schley deserved no credit for
it and that of the two officers Samp-
son was the better, have been sent to
him with an inquiry as to whether or
not they are correct.
If Admiral Howison expressed such
sentiments he ought not to be mem
Der of the court of inquiry. No doubt
he would strive to do justice to the &C
eused party, but II would take more
evidence to convince him of the injus-
tice of the charges against Admiral
Schley than ii would a man whose
mind was free from any bias. 1t may
turn out of course that he never gave
utterance to the opinions attributed to
him. 1t is to be hoped that it will. The
court should be composed of members
entirely free from any bias in respect
to the matters upon which it will have
to pass. There ought to be no opening
left for an attack on the courts finding.
The entire country is profoundly in
ty for criticising the court or its pro-
ceedings will be overlooked
