In his book General Alger tells of an interesting request that came to the War department from young woman 3ra Boston during the Spanish-A .scan war. He says: Her notepaper, Handwriting and rhetoric vouched at least for the culture of the writer. Her greouest was simple and plainly worded. with much unfeignsd earnestness she states her case. The press dispa tches had announced that the volunteer of which her brother was Q s,,eYnber was to leave for Cuba on a fixed date. But the brothers birthday occurred two days after the date as- signed for his authorization. A birth day box of cake, jellles, pies, etc. she said. had been forwarded to him and
 would not be received if the regiment left on the date announced. She naively asked that the regiment be de- tained until the sweetnleats arrived, as she was sure it would make no differ ence to the government, whereas it would be "Oh, such a disappointment for my brother!"

From Business Men.

Golden Eagles Win Three Games
From Business Men.
The Golden Eagle bowlers took three
straight games from the South Washing
ton Business Mems five last night in a
league contest on the Eagles alleys. The
result was easily accomplished, as the Wis
iting team made very poor score in each
of the games and were losers by big mar
gins in each event. The Eagles played
much better than they have done in many
earlier games and made good scores in all
Of the games, though none were phenom-
email The totals were marked by great
for young bowler. and his work evidences
an ability that will be very credttabe to
his team before the close Of the season.
He was we'll supported by Cott, but the
others did not average well, else the team 8
scores would each time have passed the
800.
None Of the visiting five played any kind
Of game at all. though Bishop had two
scores that were very fair. Brown did not
do well as the baclsstop of the team as
he formerly did as leader, though 1t is hard
to see how the change in position could
affect his bowling. The games result in
placing the Business Men and Columbia in
tie, making three ties in the league stand
ing, a feature very closely resembling the
attitude of the various teams last season.
The first game was easy money for the
Eagles, who, starting with a good opening
frame had but two breaks in the first
three frames. The lead was increased at
intervals, though the Business Men pulled
up considerably In the tenth The Eagles
were Victors by Sixty-five pins. The score
