Gave the Bridegroom Courage.

The best man dropped in upon
the bridegroom on the morning
of the wedding day, and was
amazed to find him with most
woebegone expression.
"Why, what's the matter, old
man." asked the best man.
"Do you know" replied the
bridegroom in agonized accent,
81 believe l am getting smallpox?
And this is my wedding day,
too"
Well, l never heard it called
that BEFORE" said the best man,
endeavoring to repress his laugh

over it,"

head aches, and-ob, dear me,
think of the bride and the people
waiting at the church, and the
music and the flowers, and me

"Now, don't give way, old man.
We have all been that way. The
symptoms will pass off, and you
will be led to the slaughter"
"Slaughter" roared the bride
groom, bounding to his feet.
"She's the dearest little girl in
the world. Slaughter! Why, [
would face the cannon's mouth
for her."
Having aroused the bride
groom and shaken off his stage
fright, a brandy and soda soon
had him smiling, and the best
man made note adding symp-
toms of smallpox to the other
alterations a bridegroom suffers
on his wedding day.-Philadel-

new STORY OF GRANT.
Ordered One Of His COlOnelS to Hang
His Only Son.

engineer, who was an engineer in
the Union army with Grant in
front of Petersburg in 1864-1S65,
as Colonel of Engineers, now en-
gagged on some public work uear
Richmond, told this story of o..
S. Grant to a group of Confed-
crate veterans, ex-oliicers, there
recently.
In the winter of 1864 Captain
Hamilton Of the Confederate
army was captured within the
Federal lines, and there were
found on his person papers
which clearly indicated that he
had penetrated the lines for the
purpose of gaining information
for General Lee. Eie was Court
martialed aud was at once con-
demned to be h Lnged at sunrise
the next day. Colonel Hamilton,
who was in command of cavalry
regiment under General Grant,
was charged with the duty of
furnishing the detail which was
to execute the sentence of the
court.
The night of the day on which
the court pronounced the sent
ence on Captain Hamilton, Col
onel Inman went to General
Grants tent to see him on a mat
ter connected with the opera
tions against the Confederates.
He had been in the tent for some
time when the orderly announc-
ed, Colonel Hamilton. A sol
dierly appearing officer entered
and saluted. Before General
Grant had time to speak the Col
onel said in hard tones: "Gener-
al, | cannot obey the order to ex-
ecute that spy tomorrow morn
ing"
General Grant started as if
shot
"Why not?" he said in sharp
tones.
The Colonel was silent. He
stood with barred head, dropped
on his bosom. General Grant
again asked him Why he refused
to obeye his order, and this
time there was a sharpness in his
tone which was not there before.
Colonel Hamilton raised his head
and looked the Commander in
Chief full in the face.
General, that man is my only
son.
General Grant looked his Off
Ger in the face for moment
Then he tnrned his back. The
Colonel remained silent and
standing, uncovered and his head
bowed. Then General Grant
wheeled around and said in a
harsh voice:
"Colonel Hamilton, you will
obey your orders"
The Colonel saluted and left
the tent.
Colonel lnman remembered
that the next morning the detail
charged with the duty of hanging
the spy went to the tent, and
when the sentry entered it was
found that there was nobody in
side.
About ten years afterwards
Col. Inman was in San francisco
on business connected with his
profession. While there be
chanced to meet a Mr., Hamilton,
with whom he became well ac
quainted. Hamilton one day
mentioned that he was in the con
federate army, and the relation
of war experiences began. II
came out that the Mr.. Hamilton
was the Captain II a mi | t o /
whom Colonel Hamilton had beer
ordered to hang. There were
questions from Colonel Inman
of course, and the story of the es
cape of the young soldier was
brought out.
On the night before the day OF
which he was to be executed, h,
said, after midnight, he was ly
ing on the blanket in his tent
half asleep, for the circumstan
ces did not warrant heavy sleep
He was aroused by the entranc,
of some one in the tent. A can

PLANkiNTON WINS.
Judge Sebecker's Decision Favorable
to ASSIGNEE.

Judge Siebecker's Decision Favorable
to Assignee.
Milwaukee, Aug. 23.--The final deci.
sion OF Judge Siebecker in the Plank.
irton case was filed yesterday and it is
sweeping victory for William Plank
inton, the assignee.
The last charges against his final
account were argued and submitted in
May last, and upon every one of them
the finding is emphatically in favor Of
Mr. Plankinton. The items SO decided
are as follows: Spence & Foley COL
laterals, Day collateral investment &C
count, lands lost by misdescription,
Grigsby litigation and general admin
istration.
Upon the question of the compensa-
ton of Plankinton, as assignee, the de-
clsion approves the payment of Sd 900
a year to Mr.. Fletcher, and. in addi-
ton, awards $4,000 to Plankinton for
his personal compensation. Moreover,
the court holds that the counsel fees
and expenses incurred by Plankinton
in justifying his account are to be re-
paid to him, and directs a reference
to ascertain the amount.
The result, therefore, is a complete
victory for Mr.. Plankinton, whose at
torney in the hard-fought litigation
has been James G. Flanders of the
firm of Winkler, Flanders, Smith, Bot
tum & Villas.

LEAVES THE CHURCH
TO ADVANCE SOCIALISM

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 23.-Word has
been received here that Rev. Thomas
Haggerty, a Catholic priest well
known in Cincinnati, who has been
affiliated with the diocese of Dallas
Tex, has sent his resignation as a
priest to Bishop Dunno of Dallas, and
has also withdrawn from the member
ship of the Catholic church. Some
years ago Father Haggerty took VI
the study of socialism, and soon be
came one of its most ardent apostles
The reason assigned for his withdraw
al, Father Haggerty states, is the
church's stand against socialism and
the incompatibility Of her teachings
with the doctrines of his economic
creed. He will devote mis- entire
energies to the progation of socialism
