SHOOTING AT A CANDLE. /.
The Queer Tnrget of n Whole Battery
of Twelve Cannon mt
Kcncsay.

"It seems preposterous," said the
sergeant, in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
''to fire a whole battery at one can
Idle. And yet that is what the confed-
crates did at Kenesaw. The lines of
our division in front of Kenesaw were
screened by woods, but were in
fact commanded by a confederate bat
terry of 12 guns on the top of the noun
tain, well protected by earthworks.
If the confederate gunners caught
sight of a man or tent fly during
the day or lighted candle at night
they would turn their IL guns loose
and sweep that particular spot with
shot and shell.
"We were protected by earthworks,
but this disposition of the enemy to
fire on the slightest provocation made
us very careful, but not careful
enough. About midnight on June 90
Surgeon Wilson, of the One Hundred
ind Thirteenth Ohio, was dressing the
wounds of one of his men, and called
for candle and for two men to as
sist him. The hospital was in the rear,
but no sooner was the candle lighted
than the rebels blazed away with full
battery, and solid shot carried away
a leg of each of the surgeons two
assistants. The rebs fired at the cam
die, and the result showed that their
aim was accurate.
'While our earthworks were proof
against shot and she'll the men could
not remain in the trenches. all the
time, so it was arranged that some
,t, l. 4. 4.
the others would seek relief from the
heat, outside the trenches, and at
signal from the watchers get under
cover But men under such a strain
get desperately tired, as well as heed
less and reckless. On June 25. when
the confederate batteries opened,
Sergt. James Leeper, of company C,
Eighty-Fifth Illinois, was lying in the
shade not ten feet from the trenches.
He saw the danger signal, but did not
move, and was instantly killed by a
shell.
"Ths artillery firenwas as distress
ing to general officers as to the men
in the trenches. Brigade, division and
corps headquarters were all in the
rear, but still within range of the
confederate battery on the mountain,
and major generals and brigadiers
had no earthworks to shelter them.
One day Capt. Wiseman, adiutant gem
eral of the First brigafe of our divi-
sion, went over TO corps headquarters.
The confederates had just shelled
each headquarters impartially and
vigorously, the wind having swayed
the tree branches enough to give the
nrtillerists a glimpse of the tents.
''The ground in the vicinity of corps
headquarters was literally covered
with limbs torn from the trees. and
tents were torn by shot and. she'll.
In the midst of the desolation, and be-
hind a tree, sat Maj. Gen. John NJ.
Palmer, commanding the corps. He
was in his shirt sleeves and was fam
ming himself vigorously, casting an oc-
casional glance upward to where a
solid shot had cut off the top of his
tree. After Wiseman had transacted
his business and was turning to leave,

ROMEO USED TO THE CITY
FulI Grown Sheep which Follows
New York Man Around Crowded
Streets Like n Pet Dog.


A young man with sheep that
followed him like pet dog attract
ed attention on Broadway, near
Forty-second street, New York city,
the other afternoon. The sheep,
which was full grown, wore collar,
and, although undismayed by the
crowds, seemed to take considerable
interest in his surroundings. The
young man and his novel pet walked
down to Thirty-fourth street and
turned across toward Eighth avenue.
The sheep was evidently used to the
hustle and confusion, and deftly
picked it's way through the mass of
cable cars, carriages and other vehi-
cles with as much unconcern as dog
would have done. The young man
said:
II am much attached to Romeo,
who is faithful and accompanies me
wherever l go. 1 raised him myself,
and I would not part with him for
anything. l live in a fiat up town,
and the neighbors are used to Romeo
and think almost as much of him as
/ do"

gx tcrep STRANGE oArAs.
Odd Marriage Ceremony Performed
by nm EARLY Montana MInrlstrate.

George Hazel, of Helena, Mont, in
speaking of the formerly great in
fluence welded by the justices of the
peace on the frontier, told the follow
ing story, says the New York Trib-
une:
"1n the prostate day of Montana
the justices of the peace reigned SUI
preme in the land. They joined men
and women in life, buried them in
death, and were general .Deacemakers
to the community at large, and judges
of dog fights. Their position in west
ern communities was unique. and the
stories that have been told about
them have been innumerable. One of
the most peculiar characters to be
found in Washington, however, was
one Reed, j. p, who ruled over the
town of Bellnap, Mont, since deceas-
ed in the early '70s.
"He performed at Belknap in the
winter of 1878 a marriage ceremony
that is. classic in western annals. He
made the bride swear that she would
support the constitution of the Uni
ted States and the organized acts of
the territory of Montana; that she
would be ever LOVING, talthful ana
true, and would be ever willing to de-
fend-with her life, if necessary-the
honor of her God, her country and her
! flag. The bridegroom. was compelled
to swear that he would split the
wood. carry the. water, shovel the
snow, build the fire and under any
and all circumstances try to be a per.
feet gentleman. Instead of returning
her devotion with slurs and scowls
he would repay it with kiss AMI
kind words. If he ran shy of kisses
he was to call on the justice of the
peace, who was long on kisses, but
short on girls. Reed wound up this
unique ceremony by making the
couple recite the Lords prayer in
unison. And the ceremony ended
with the crack of revolver and O
pop of beer corks."

DON'T YOU WISH THIS CRUEL WAR
WAS OVER"
Palmer said: 'Adjutant, don't you
wish this cruel war was over?'

Palmer said: 'Adjutant, don't you
wish this cruel war was over?'
"Under the existing circumstances
Wiseman said he did. Then Palmer
added: 'Adjutant, present my compli-
ments to Gen. Morgan and say to him
that these headquarters will move as
soon as darkness will permit That
was like Palmer, and he no doubt was
as glad as any of us when he was en-
ablcd to get out of range of that noun
tain battery. Whenever l hear men
talk of artillery fire being compare
lively harmless, think of the terrible
work of those confederate artiller-
lists on Kenesaw mountain, who fired
at everything from n candle up to a
major general, and hit most of the
things they fired at. We were under
that harassing, merciless fire fornear-
ly a week."

Grnrne. for Dry weather.

Experience during recent dry sum-
mers. strongly emphasizes the chief
weakness of blue grans-its almost
entire failure to grow during dry
weather. Orchard grass has been,
found best of the ordinary grasses
in this respect, but the common red
clover has shown its superiority to
any of the smaller grasses. for either
hay or grazing in dry years. Highly
priced as are the old blue, grass pas
lures, it seems clearly proved that
a greater .quantitysof food would be
produced by putting them under a
rotation, with corn and clover the
chief crops. This would involve more
labor, but in. present conditions
would give better prospects of
profits, said the late Prof. G. E. Nor

JOHN L. sTODDARD.
His Popularity as An Entertainer Has Won
Him Great Renown.

Very few people are aware of the
fact that Mr.. Stoddard was the most
popular entertainer this country has
ever known; that the crowds who
thronged to hear him were comprised
of the most cultured people in the
large cities of this country, and so
many people were unable to hear him
at night that he was compelled to de-
liver his lectures in the morning dur
At Daly's theatre in New York City at
these morning lectures it is estimated
that for three consecutive weeks, 1000
people were turned away daily because
the house was fl1ed.
With Mr. Stoddard as your guide
you visit every place in every land,
iuterestingS grand and beautiful.
Stoddard entrances you with the
matchless e1oquence of his language
and the unsurpassed attractiveness OF
his wonderful half-tone views. Only
a comparatively small number of PEG.
pie have had an opportunity to hear
the great Stoddard IN his matches
lectures, OF 10 Visit even PdIl VI lH6
places he describes SO wildly. By Mr..
IStoddard's new arrangement we can
en- Joy all of the lectures" at home,
using as much time as we choose in
examining his 1000 matchless views.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew, Lyman
Abbott and thousands Of others repre-
sentatives of every field of life say the
Stoddard lectures are the most instruc-
tive and valuable work they ever
bought.

Illinois Central Railway Company Said
to Be Behind the Electric Roads
Planned in This County.
1T SEEKS A NORTHERN OUTLET
Managers of the Central Do Not Deny
That They Are Interested in the Pro-
posed Chain of Lines.

Bv the latest reports it seems evil
dent that the Illinois Central Railway
COMPANY is about to make an invasion
of Wisconsin, as it is reported TO-DAY
that the big Illinois company is now
behind the plan to build the electric
line from Milwaukee to Lake Geneva
and that the various other lines
MANNED as connections to this line
will ultimately pass into the control or
the Illinois Central company. While
the report has been vigorously denied
by some of the promoters OF the pro-
posed road, the managers OF the Lii
nois Central road have themselves
limited that it is more than probao Die
that they will have an interest IN the
road when it is built. With this road
built into Kenosha county there is lit
tie doubt but that the auxiliary lines
will be built and IN this manner the
Illinois Central will have a way for
tapping the Southern part of Wiscon-
sin. Already the freight business OF
the Illinois Central out in this part OF
the State is very large, but with a
direct line the amount Of business
would undoubtedly be largely in
creased,
The final action of the franchise for
the road will be taken by the Milwau-
kee Council on next Monday and in
the meantime the promoters of the
road assured of all the privileges de-
sired in Milwaukee have laid the
stakes for the road. They visited Ke-
nosha county several weeks ago and
secured the right of way for the
through line without money and with
out price and this week surveyors have
been at work mapping out another line
across the county which will be con-
nected with the Lake Geneva line
later. With this line the circuit TO the
belt line in Waukegan will have been
completed and the Illinois Central will
have a traffic arrangement with all
these roads so that they will practical
1y become the property of the Illinois
company.
1t is claimed by the promoters OF
the road that the announcement or any
such deal is entirely premature, but
they admit that some such plans have
been considered by the promoters and
the Superintendent of the Central.

Gambling on Electric Fan.

Fanaroo is a gambling game that is
played with an electric fan. These
fans are common everywhere now, and
brokers, clerks and many other sorts
of men are playing fanaroo. Any
number of persons can enter the game.
The fans four paddles are numbered
lone, two, three and four-and the
gamblers place their stakes on the
number they prefer Then the cur
rent is turned ON for a moment, the
fan revolves, and, when it stops, the
paddle that is uppermost wins. Ii
the stakes are made a dollar each 1t
is possible to win a large sum in a
few minutes of fanarOo playing, but
usually the stakes are not more than
a nickel, and the winnings and los
ings are trifing. It is very interest
ing game, but, by reason of constant
turning on and off of the current, 1t
does not add very greatly to the long
life of the electric fan.

Death of w. K. Pine, Formerly of This
City, Settles Big Strike in
Philadelphia.
PINES DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL
Had Gone to Work in the Shops of Which
he was superintendent and was Struck
on the Head by Heavy Brass Scroll

On Thursday of this week the EVE
MING NEWS announced the death of
William x. Pine, a former resident of
this city, which occurred in Phlladel-
phia, and this morning a letter was
eceived in this city giving the details
of the death of the former Kenoshan,
and it was brought out that Pine met
a violent death while assisting his
employers to keep the shop in opera
ton during a strike among the men.
Mr.. Pine was employed as a superin-
tendent of the Bernstein Brass Bed
Works at Philadelphia. Some three
weeks ago the men in the brass bed
department went out on strike. Inc
strike became a bitter one and the
men refused to return to work.
In order to fill some immediate
orders Mr.. Pine offered to take
place with the other superintendents
in the works and turn out the beds
needed. On Saturday, two weeks ago,
while working in the shop one of the
big scrolls dropped down from the
forms and struck Pine in the right
temple splitting his head open. He
was removed to his home and seemed
to improve, but after a few days blood
poisoning set in and this caused his
death.
Pine was a favorite with the men
employed in the factory and when the
fact became known that he had died
while attempting to assist the mana
gers of the factory, they at once made
overtures to the managers of the
plant and the strike was settled, the
men returning to work two days after
the former Kenosha man met with the
fatal accident. The managers of the
Bernstein shop and the men employed
attended the funeral of the deceased
Superin tendent in a body and it is
probable that the firm will make lib
era1 allowance to the widow and the
fourteen children of the deceased.
Mrs. Pine and the children are still
living in Philadelphia, but they will
leave that city and return to the home
of Mrs. Pine in New Haven, Conn.,,
within few weeks.
