Comparative Comfort.


Il was in Chickamauga Park a short
while ago." said an old veteran who had
been discussing the reunion at Memphis.
land 1 was impressed with the number Of
old veterans who still hang around the
hills that have been made memorable in
the country's history by the fierce battle
that was fought there in the sixties. There
is something pathetic about it to me. These
old gray haired soldiers have camped right
III the shadow of those hills ever since the
war, as If devoted to every memory Of the
place. The morning sun throws the shad-
Ows OF the hills across their homes. and
the evening sun throws them back again
from the other side. and thus these old
soldiers are spending their latter days in
the very shadow Of the historic battle
ground. The monuments out yonder on
the hill speak for the other fellows. said
one Of them to me, but we are here to
speak for the confederacy.' They are typ
ical of the character of men who followed
the fortunes Of the lost cause. But many
of them are full of good stories. and re-
call one story told me by an old confeder-
ate who is now running livery stable In
Chattanooga. He is fond Of telling it on
himself. 1t was during one Of the prelimi-
nary skirmishes at Chickamauga. The fed
eral troops had reached the top Of the hill,
and the confederates had been forced down
on the other side. They hid behind stumps
of trees. fell over behind logs and sought
other places of concealment in their effort
to escape Yankee bullets I fell over be-
hind log. with my face down. said the
Chattanooga liveryman, and could hear
the Yankee bullets whistling over my head
or burying themselves in the log behind
which 1 was hiding. In hugging close up
to the log l had showed my face into. a.
hornets nest. The hornets covered my
face and head, and l laid there picking
them off one at time until I found an
opportunity to escape. Soon after that I

over the story, and no doubt he really felt
that the hornets nest was a pleasure re-
sort under the circumstances"

at Monte Carlo young English gentle
man attracted much notice at the tables
ooth by his wonderful success and his ap-
parent wealth. The crowd. as usual. fol-
lowed his methods, and doing exactly as
he did won steadily.
Among these were two middle-aged
dark men and an old white-haired gentle
man with blue spectacles who seemed in
tensely interested in the youths opera
lions. The papers were just then full OF
sensational bank robbery, and when
saw how flush of money the youth was.
and noticed how keenly the three men
watched his play. I suspected they were
detectives. By-and-by the young man ap-
peared uneasy, and l saw him look hard
at the blue-spectacled gentleman and color
violently. He had evidently discovered that
he was being watched. From that mo-
meH he began losing. and the bystanders
ceased to follow his methods. The blue
specialized gentleman also gave up initial
ing the youths play. and began on a sys-
tenn Of his own, winning repeatedly. The
two dark men then went round to the old
gentleman's side of the table and imi-
tated his system for while. Presently
the youth went out of the rooms and the
three men followed him. 1 went outside
also. when, to my infinite surprise, the
old blue-spectacled gentleman whom 1 had
supposed to be detective was arrested by
the two dark men (who really were de-
tectives) for the bank robbery
1T transpired afterward that the old gen.
tleman. who. disguised by blue spectacles
and minus his beard, had been following
the young Englishmans play. was the
managing director of well-known bank,
from which he had absconded with several
thousands Of pounds.
The youths confusion which at first
had looked like conscious guilt was merely
due to nervousness, consequent on suddenly
recognizing his director watching him,
who, however had no idea that the young
man whose play he was following was one
of the clerks at his bank. The young man.
1t was afterward explained, had come into
small legacy unknown to the bank au-
thor1ties. and having to take his holidays
In the early spring, as junior bank clerks
often do, came to Monte Carlo with the
two detectives hot on his track. The bank
director, l believe, got seven years"

long time undisturbed and even unvisited

Within the past ten years, however, ranch
men living in the vicinity found that speci-

value, and active work began on the strip

could be carried OF. Under the act of
Congress this destruction will soon cease.

PRESS GACClNC UNPOPULAR
NEWSPAPER BRINGS WAR
OFFICE TO TERMS.
Government Boycott Of London
Daily Mail Had to Be
Called Off.

London, Aug. 1.-The contest be-
tween the war Office and the Daily
Mail has terminated in victory for
the paper. The war office had not only
cut off the Daily Nails South African
casualty list and other official news
but had also ordered the various news
agents not to supply the Daily Mail
with any official information distrib-
uted from the war Office. Thereupon
the Daily Mail sued the news agencies
under it's contracts to compel them
to deliver the news. The war Office
then held back bulletins until nearly
the hour for the morning papers to
go to press. This raised storm of
protest from the provincial papers
and the war Office finally capitulated
and called off the boycott. The at
tempt at press gagging aroused bitter
criticism among all classes af papers
at the time when the government was
not too popular, and could i'll afford
to aggravate popular discomfort. Mr..
Broderick's personal bereavement in
the death of his wife precludes a
journalistic celebration of his defeat
but there is much quiet satisfaction
over the result in Fleet street.

PLEADING WITH MOB PROVED
ENTIRELY USELESS.
C0LORED MURDERERS HANG
Confession duplicates Others Who
Will Probably Meet
Same Fate.

Carrollton, Miss, Aug. 1.-The muir
der Of Mr.. and Mrs. Taliferro on the
night Of July 80, led this evening at
5 o'clock to the lynching of Betsy Nc
Cray, her son, Belfield McCray, and
daughter, Ida McCray, all colored.
The mob was composed of about
500 white citizens of Carroll county
who marched to the Jail, demanded
the keys from Jailer Duke, proceeded
to the cells of the negroes, bound
them by neck and hands and carried
them to the corporate limits of the
town where they hanged them to a
tree by the public roadside and rid
died their bodies with bullets.
The mob resisted the earnest ap-
peals of Judge w. F. Stephens, and
Hon. p. w. Hill, who stood on the
steps of the Jail and appealed to the
mob in the name of law and order.
They even followed the mob to the
Jail doors with their arms around the
necks of the leaders pleading with
them to let the law take it's course,
but to no effect.
Ida McCray confessed to commit
ting the murder, stating that her
mother and brother helped commit
the murder. She also implicated
others who will probably meet a
like fate. Betsy McCray refused to
make any statement.
Governor Longino arrived on the
scene of the lynching, from Jackson
by special train, a few minutes be-
fore the lynching. He addressed the
crowd from the court house square
imploring them to let the law take it's
course, but without avail.
There is no telling what further
work the mob will do, but it is said
three or. four negroes living in the
neighborhood of the Taileferro house
will be lynched and it is said by some
that white man living in the same
locality will meet the same fate. 1t
is hoped now that the mob having
done away with the worst offenders
will rest and let the others be brought
to justice.

Beers made the native scouts throw

EXPENSE ACCOUNT.
In South Africa Discussed in House
OF Commons.

OF Commons.
London, Aug. lin the house of
commons today, Lord Stanley, finan-
cial secretary of the war Office, in
reply to a question, said the cost of
the war in South Africa from April
to July 81 was G35,75O,OOO, partly
chargeable against the deficit Of last
year. The actual cost in July was
f1,250,000 week. The statement
was greeted with ironical Irish
cheers.
The chancellor of the exchequer,
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, said if the
war continued at the same cost for
the next three months it would ne
cessitate spending the whole of the
reserve he had provided for financing
the third quarter. But he had reason
to hope that this would not be neces-
sary.
