The free trade agitators who are anX-
ious to precipitate a tariff contest at
the next session of Congress are trying
to make it appear that the wool manu-
facturers will urge a reduction in the
tariff on wool, regardless Of the effect
of such action upon the wool growers
Of this country.
That, however, is denied by an East
ern commercial newspaper, which
claims to know the sentiment Of the
wool manufacturers. 1t says that the
attitude Of the manufacturers toward
the wool growers is the same to-day
THAT it has been during the past seven
tyNive years. While it is true that the
tarSf on wool has operated against the
manufacturers Of woolens, because it
has shut them out of the worlds mar
ket to q certain extent and deprived
them OF the chance to make greater
profits by purchasing cheaper raw ma
terials, yet the manufacturers have al
ways been willing that the sheep rails
ing industry should be protected, be-
cause they know that without the com
peClLlOu dHoEueu ny American WOOL
they would be at the mercy of the for
eign wool growers and would have to
pay whatever price might be demand
ed 1t has been proved by frequent
trials that sheep raising is not profit
| able in this country without the help Of
protective tariff, and for that reason
the manufacturers have RETAINED from
serving their own immediate interests
by advocating a reduction in the tariff
on the raw material.
The free traders are exerting every
effort to array the protected industries
against one another, but they will not
succeed in their attempt to induce the
wool manufacturers to antagonize the
sheep raiserS.-Cleveland Leader.

Losing an Arm in Brittle.

arm shot off. Capt. Creighton served

The play" of the intellect to use a

learning, and is often it's truest inSpira-

some years ago, undertook to quiet a

figures which she modelled from bread
crumbs rubbed between her fingers.
The rapidly growing procession of
Noah s~ark animals attracted the at

was the sculptor Thomas Ball, who af-
terward told the girl she had unusual
talent took her to his own studio, and
taught her to model in clay and after
ward to work in marble. An interest
Ing side-light on the pretty incident is
that the young girl had nodded her fig
ures undisturbed by a tableful of wit

seated her in the studio with her back
toward his own chair, because he
could not possibly work while any
body looked on"

The acquittal of Robert S. Fosburgh.
charged with killing his sister, will be
approved by all who followed the trial
at Pittsfield, Mass. Fosburgh, young
man of prominent family, seems to
have been the victim of an Overzealous
police official, whose anxiety to make
lease" placed an innocent person
in peril of his liberty and brought into
the public gaze those nearest and dear
est to him at time when the loss Of a
member of the family had plunged all
into deepest grief. FOsburgh's sister,
Miss May Fosburgh, who held the af-
lection of family and friends, was shot
and killed in her bedchamber one night
last August, presumably by burglars
who had entered the Fosburgh house.
The incentive to the burglary was the
knowledge that large sums Of money
were occasionally kept in the house to
meet the weekly pay roll at Mr.. Eos
burgh's factory. The natural conclu-
sion was that the burglars, intercepted
by Miss Fosburgh, shot her with a
pistol lHey udu ldhth ILOlI dhOtuci
room, and which belonged to her broth
err. In the confusion resulting from the
crime, the bewiIdered members of the
family told stories that the chief of pO-
lice declared were conflicting, and he
evolved the theory that Miss FoSburgh
had been killed during Il quarrel be-
tween her father and brother On
this theory the younger Fosburgh was
indicted and tried. There was no tes-
timony. says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
to show that there was eStrangement
between any members of the family,
and there was plenty Of evidence that
lar. SO himsy was the case of the
prosecution that the presiding Judge at
the trial characterized the proceedings
as an "inQucst," and instructed the jury
to bring in a verdict of acquittal even
before the defense had proceeded far
with it's witnesses. 1t would seem that
he might have gone further and cen
sured both the chief of police and the
grand jury for acting evidence
so slight. 1t is strange, indeed, from
the disclosures that the case was ever
brought to trial, and stranger that the
police official did not attempt to trace
the thieves and murderers rather than
to create a mystery about the affair
that reflected on obviously innocent
people.

the rear guard and grumbled a GOOD
deal because the prisoners were turneu
over to the Ninetieth Ohio to be taken

at Bridgeport in the first instance only
until relieved by Gen. Slocum, of Hook
er's corps.
"The more we thought about these
contradictory recollections the more
we were troubled. No. , produced d
history of the war which showed that
Cruft's brigade went up Lookout Noun
tain as he had described. No. showed
from the same history that Gen. Palmer
held the river only until Slocum was
in Dosition, but No. l and No. were
in a maze of uncertainty until NO. D

This showed that the regiment was dl-
yided. one battalion at Shellmound, an
other on the road to Chattanooga, one
day. and going toward Bridgeport the
next.

old army journals packed away for
thirty-three years These recorded his
personal experiences day by day ana
were indisputable evidence that his
memory had retained correctly certain
central facts or dramatic incidents, but
that his Imagination had supplied tcti-
tious details or connecting links. Sher-
mans troops passed us as he declared.
He was with the working squad and
discovered some old schoolboy friends
in one of Shermans regiments, was
permitted by the captain to visit them.
He was persuaded to spend the night
with them and went with them when
they were ordered to the boats. He
saw Sherman. heard him make the re-
mark so clear in his memory but was
ordered back and returned to his com
pany the next day
These personal records made clear
that No. was mistaken as to the trip
over Lookout Mountain. The military
road was not constructed until weeks
after the battle But early in 1864 we
did cross Lookout Mountain and No. 3
ON that trip came down to the road as
No. remembered. On the same trip
we halted at the north end of Mission
airy Ridge or at the point where Sher-
man had his fight. This inspection of
breastworks and Notifications left the
impression on the mind Of No. / that
we had taken part in the engagement.
The record showed that one battalion
of the regiment had gone from Lookout
Mountain to Bridgeport as guard to
prisoners, while the other had been
operating as a flying column, but that
neither battalion was with Cruft, our
brigade commander" Chicago Inter

The Stubborn Company Cook.


."Where we were camDed one spell in
front of Petersburg" said Civil War
veteran to a New York Sun man, there
was one gun on the other side that
seemed to have a line of our company
street.
"That used to disturb us considera-
ble because we didn't know but what
some day shell might come along
through there and carry off our dinner,
and we tried to get the cook to shift
the fire a little, ten feet or so, so it
wouldn't be in so much danger; but he
was a stubborn cuss, and he wouldn't.
"He said a cook fire wouldn't look
very nice out in the middle of the COM
pany street, and there wasn't any dan
ger, anyhow. What he wanted,
guess, was to keep it where it would
be most convenient, right alongside of
his tent; but there's where he did keep
it, anyway. We couldn't move him,
till something happened.
1--WE were going to have boiled pork,
boiled beans and coffee for dinner one
day, and all three kettles were hanging
side by side and close together on the
pole, and b'ilin' away merrily, when
along came shell, there close to the
ground, and how it ever did it / don't
know, because it didn't have the kettles
in line; but it managed somehow, all
the same, to smash all three of them
into seventeen different kinds of cooked
hats, and it scattered our dinner pretty
much all over creation.
For about a minute it Just rained
beans and coffee and chunks of pork all
round that neighborhood. Some of the
pork came down four streets away, and
it seemed as though in our street there
wasn't a tent but what got more or less
of the beans or coffee or both. You
wouldn't have thought they could have
been so widely distributed, so that there
was enough Of 'em to go round so far,
and the shell didn't explode, you under
stand, either-just smashed the kettle
and passed on.
We'll, we lost our dinner that day.
but the loss served one good purpose:
we were able after that to get the cook
to move the fire little, anyway. out of
the range of that gun"
