THE TWO VETERANS
ON CRU

Two veterans arrived in ton

with Roosevelt and helped him chars
San Juan, Santiago and everythin
else changeable. He was shot so tut
of holes that he looked like a pornl
plaster. A comrade nearby saved hisN
life by stopping up the holes with some
canned beef that he happened to have
handy.
The other veteran had the same
kind of face, but his beard and hair
were snowy. He was a veteran OF the
civil war and fought under the whole
catalogue Of Union generals, and was
killed on several Southern battlefields.
and eventually saved the day at Get
tysburg-but was shot so full Of lead
that he could not walk until the sur
geons had removed nearly 200 pounds
of metal from his system.
These two veterans have pair OF
crutches between them-nice. brand
new yellow crutches, and both left
handed-beside this, they each have a
bunch of lead pencils, which they will
give for whatever you offer. We saw
them out on Sixteenth street yester-
day morning and we stopped TO see
how these battle-scared heroes would
act. They approached a corner groc-
cry and the younger one, with sud
den and dreadful limp went inside.
M hn
and erect, seeming to forget that his
crutch was Indispensable The young
er one came out quickly, his limp par
TALLY cured, and he said: That -
guy hasn't a bit of charity
about him. Say, ] believe you queered
the thing by standing out there where
he could see you" They then started
across the street and the younger onA
tried a door, but the, place had not
yet opened. Then hs cursed again,
and after an earnest confab, they sep
arated going different ways.
The writer was in Bellaire the after
noon OF the same day. and Nsaw the
same old veteran several times, plying
his honorable vocation in saloons,
stores and millinery shops, etc. Per-
haps the young veteran was in Bridge
port or Martins cry. They carry
their crutehes dreadfully awkward at
| present-but then they are new ones
| evidently the first pair they ever used.
These heroes will leave n sorrowful
train OF honorable tales OF woe and
lead pencils all along the Ohio river
towns. They evidently are bent to-
ward Charleston to work upon the
sympathy of Atkinson and the Legis-
! lature.

UNHAPPY MARRIED LIFE

ALBANY MAN MURDERED WIFE AND
CHILD AND CUT HIS OWN
THROAT.
EXPRESSED KEEN REGRET
THAT HE COULD NOT MAKE DEATH
HARDER AND SUFFERING
MORE PROLONGED.

ALBANY, N. Y, January 1.-THE
unhappy married life of Louis Carrier
and wife resulted in a double murder
and suicide this morning. Carrier cut
his wife's throat and that of his son
after he had battered the body into an
unconscious condition with a base ball
! bat. He then drank poison and cut his
own throat.
Carrier lived at Al Alexander street
At PAS this morning neighbor heard
screams and sounds of a struggle and
he notified the police. On looking in
the window of the Carrier house the
officers saw the boy, Archie, on the
floor with his head resting against the
sofa with blood all over him. Forcing
an entrance, they found Carrier, his
throat cut, while beside him was a
glass half full of paris green. He was
still alive, but died at o'clock this
morning. Mrs. Carrier was found in
a bedroom cut and slashed on the
throat.
Carrier left letter addressed to the
police, which shows that the murder
was premeditated. The letter is as fol-
lows:

1t having become evident that there

the Young Man decided to continue

doubtedly the most popular concert
singer of America to-day. Nine. Blau-
welt has received very fiattering offer
to return to opera, and she is seriously
considering accepting it, in which event
she will be heard in the Grau Opera
Company next season.
Nine. Blauvelt began her career as
musician as a child violinst when seven
years of age. When it became apparent
that she was possessed of a remarkable
voice, she abandoned the violin and be-
came the solo soprano at Plymouth
Church in Brooklyn. She studied for
three years with Monsiegneur Jacques
Bouhy, of the Grand Opera, Paris. after
which she sang for a like period in con-
cert and opera in the principal cities OF
Europe. She met with especially note
worthy success in st. Petersburg and
Moscow. Her first concert tour in
America occurred seven years ago, after
which she returned to Europe and
toured England, Germany and Italy, es-
pecially attracting the attention of roy
atty. Queen Victoria commander her
to Windsor. where she sang before the
, royal family. AS a souvenir, Victoria
presented her with jewelled medallion
medal. Queen Margherita. of Italy sum-
moned her to the Quirinal, where she
sang before Her Majesty and King Hum
bert. The souvenir presented her was a
jewelled medal, heart shaped, surmounted
by crown, suspended from an orna-
mental knot of gold and diamonds The
heart bears the initial IN" in diamonds.
Nine. Blauveit has made three concert
tours of Europe since her first meetings
with Queens Victoria and Margherita.
During her last tour she sang before the
ingham Palace and before the Queen at
Windsor. For the latter she sang Verdis
''Sicillian Vespers" and Ambrose Thomas
"Connais tn lie Pays to the acompani-
ment of the royal orchestra, under the
direction of Sir Walter Parratt. The
Queen presented her with costly
bracelet of pearls with a large clasp
bearing Her Majesty's monogram and
crown. Last spring Nine. Bauvelt sang
at the London May Festival, and was
leading prima donna at the Handel FEES
tival in July. When she returns home in
March she will remain but six weeks, re-
turning to London for the season."

THE NEW THEATRE.

The location decided upon by the
stockholders in me new theatre pro-
ject, the old court house property on
the southeast corner of Twelfth and
Chapline streets, is withal the best
that could have been chosen. An
equally extensive property so well
adapted to the purpose and so CEN
trally located could certainly not have
been secured for anything like the
same reasonable sum, which will leave
the stockholders the more to expend
on the building and its equipment and
furnishing. The new theatre will be
free from disturbing street noises
one drawback especially in summer to
the location on Market street-while
it will be quite as accessible to all
parts of the city.
1t may possibly with some reason be
contended that the site will not be so
popular for an ofice-building, but that
is only a conjecture and can not be
ascertained in advance. Moreover,
there is already quite nest of Offices

ever, received<she enthusiastic cheers

This unseemly exhibition of partisan
ship would seem to show that
even those high in the church
itself are deep in sympathy with
that most unchristian thing-war.
The recent noble sermon of Cardinal
Gibbons on this subject was timely
indeed and seems not inapplicable to
those gentlemen of the cloth, who al
low their national prejudices and
worldly ties and sympathies to obscure
their view of the fundamental teach
ings of Christ. How can these prelates
expect the ignorant layman to respect
what they themselves as teachers ig-
more? No wonder We frequently
hear that the Christian church is los
ing ground among the people when its
high priests thus set at naught its car
dinal principles. 1t would seem that
the church was sore in need of few
more Gibbonses to recall it to the plain
Apath Of righteous teaching and duty
