GEN. SMITH AT HOME.
Breaks Down on Meeting Mother
Hopes to Be Exonerated.

Portsmouth, o., Aug. 13.-Judge
James Bannon, brother-in-law and at
torney of Gen. Jacob II. Smith, Tues
day night, made the following state
ment:
Gen. Smith probably will remain in
Portsmouth for about a month. Dur
ing that time he will be engaged in
formulating his official report to be
transmitted to the war department and
necessarily will devote little time TO
his personal interests.
This report, however, will contain
a complete description of the conditions
which confronted the American troops
| in the Philippines, the hardships they
| suffered, the atrocities of the natives.
the circumstances leading to the giving
of the famous order, in fact every de-
| tail of his campaign, and will be in the
| form OF a complete vindication of Gen.
| Smiths conduct.
| Gen. Smith will take no action until
| he consults many of his friends among
| the officers of the regular army
| Gen. Smith, who, on returning from
the Philippines, learned that he had
been retired for his kill and burn or
der in the island of Samar, completely
broke down, Monday evening, on meet
ing his mother, who is 80 years old, and
sohbed aloud on her shoulder, unmind-
full of the thousands of persons who
surged about
For several minutes his face was
buried on her shoulder, and the war
| rior cried aloud. The meeting was en-
| tirely unexpected to the general and
completely unnerved him
When the Norfolk & Western train
| pulled in the streets We're blocked for
| squares. The general was pushed
| through the crowds by T. NJ. Lynn,
who had carried him off the field when
he was wounded at Shiloh.
There was an immense crowd in the
street. which, as the carriage moved
forward, burst in loud cheering. Mill
| tary companies. G.. A. r. veterans and
band escorted the general
Long lines of carriages and thou
sands of citizens followed. AT the
house the troops presented arms as the
generals carriage drove through the
line.

"A YOUNG LADY's LIFE SAVED.
At Panama, Colombia, by Chamber.
Iain's Collie, Cholera and Diar.
rhoea Remedy.

DR.. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent ply
stefan, of Panama, Colombia, in a re-
cent letter states: Last March had
as a patient a young lady sixteen years
of age. who had n very bad attack Of
dysentery. Everything 1 prescribed
for her proved Intellectual and she was
growing worse every hour. Her par
ents were sure she would die She
had become so weak that she could MT
turn over in bed. What to do at this
critical moment was study for me,
but | thought of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrnoea Remedy and as
a last resort prescribed it. The most
wonderful result was effected. Within
eight hours she was feeling much bet

The employees of the Union Trolley
Co. at Yonkers, n. ", struck again,
Wednesday, but the strike. like that
of last Saturday. was of short dura-
ton. The men went out, Wednesday,
because they had received no word from
the company's officials relative to de-
mands made by them, last week. The
strike, however. seems to have been due
to misunderstanding, for when Pres.
Maher of the company had been in
formed of the situation he said the de-
mands of the men had been acceeded
to and an agreement in du form would
be given to the employees in the after
noon. This explanation satisfied the
men and they returned to work after
having been out about three hours.

STONE AGE TOOL FACTORY.
Quarry Found in England Where
They Dug Flints for Knives.

They Dug Flints for Knives.
A very interesting discovery has
just been made lear NARROW, Eng. 1t
appears to be the original quarry
whence the men of the late stone age
living on the Chiltern hills, got the
flints to make their knives and weap-
ons.
In it was found. among other relics
OF the old workers, a pick Of stays
antlers, used by the prehistoric miner
in making his gallery.
This seems an exact parallel of the
curious discoveries made in the eX-
tensive flint mines of the same race
e a Brandon. The site was called
locally Grimes Graves and con-
sisted of ID number OF holes or pits
sunk in the ground. like the old work
ings for gold in Rhodesia.
1t was found that these Norfolk pits
were also made by miners, but in
search of something which, to a
primitive age, was far more precious
than gold-clear and large tlints.
the ready-made material for cutlery
Clipped from stone.
These ancient workers had quite
as keen an instinct for finding the
best bed of flint as a modern pros,
pector has for a bed of go%ld-bearing
quartz, and somehow found out that
about thirty feet below the surface
there was a bed of the largest silici'
III pebbles in England. They there,
fore sunk the graves" and ran gal,
leries from them.
In these galleries were found not
only the fints they had dug, but
rough lamps, cut in chalk. for them
to see by, and the picks which they
had used to work with.
AS in the case of the newly-found
workings in Buckinghamshire, the
implements were all made of deers
horn, and it was noted that these old
antler tools are exactly the same
shape as the picks of wood and Iron
used in the flint quarries Of Brandon
to-day.-Country Life.
