DID NOT STORM SAN JUAN HILL


 It is pretty hard to kill good story; indeed, really good story never dies no matter how far from the petty, unimaginative truth 1t may be. Such story is the charge of the rough riders up San Juan hill" Military men may grow apoplectic and historians may rave, but Roosevelt at the head of his rough riders storning San Juan hill will remain popular and cherished picture in the publics eye for aye. Nay, more, the picture need not remain in the mind alone; we see it at Buffalo Bills show, and it has been put upon canvas and exhibited in all our states. territories and place subject to our jurisdiction" And to make the lesson more emphatic the great Veretschagin is talking from day to day about the massive picture of this episode which he is building. Like the boys fairy story, it's so whether it's so or not.
 And yet--well, why say anything more about it? Still, possibly the historians might be allowed a last desperate chance at publishing their side of the case Let them have it.
 Meaning no disrespect to anybody concerned, they will whisper to their victims in some secluded corner that neither Roosevelt nor the rough riders stormed-san Juan-hill! It was an- other hill. and 1t wasn't so big as San Juan. Let the historian tell it plainly. On the 1st of July, 1898, there were two fights. Fl Caney and San Juan. Lawton commanded at Fl Caney, and Kent and Wheeler before San Juan. The objective point at San Juan was block-house on the summit of San Juan hill. Between the Ameri- cans position and that block-house was, first, San Juan river and then a knoll called Kettle hill, on which was a block-hous about one-third of a mile from San Juan hills crest. It was necessary to take Kettle hill before pro- ceeding to the larger point beyond. Gen Carroll was ordered to advance on Ket- tie hill, supported by Wood. It was a quick but bloody fight, as sanguinary as that of Rents division at San Juan. The troops comprising the attacking force ~were: One squadron of the 1st cavalry (the rough riderS'O. And, by the way, the first party to reach the top consisted of two troops of the 9th cavalry, not the rough riders" This crest gained, the main body of the American army moved on, and after a desperate fight captured San Juan hill None of this Kettle hill force went up San Juan hill," although some of them, including the rough riders, did join in the attack on San Juan ridge after the , summit had been taken. Col Roose- velt's book makes this sufficiently plain If the artists and the orators wish to present the taking of San Juan hill | they must put the regulars of the in- | fantry, who were under Kent, into their picture. If they wish to present the taking of Kettle hill they may put ir the rough riders with Col Roosevelt { somewhere about, but not on horseback i for the cavalry in that battle had nc horses. If they wish true, faithful picture let them give us the killing o1 l Col Hamilton while leading the 9tt cavalry up Kettle hill, or the gallent 1 Col Wikoff, killed while leading the 18th l infantry up San Juan hill. The attack | on Kettle hill was a daring, thrilling

REV. DR. PRINCES SERMON
DELITERED AT THE UNION
 SERVICES YESTERDAY,
The Reverend Doctor DIscoursed ou Man's Duty to Ills Fellow Men-There Was Large Attendance-NIuch Spiritual Fervor Unaffected.

Was Large Attendance-Much
 Spiritual Fervor Manifected
 The union services at the Trinity N. E. church yesterday were conducted by the Rev. M. W. Prince of Dickinson college, Carlisle, Penn. Rev. Dr. Prince was for merly pastor of Trinity church and the es- feem a4d love in which he is held by his former barishiOners was fully attestnd to yesterday. Both services were very large 1y attended and were entered into with much spirit. The singing was exceptionally enthusiastic and the spiritual fervor was most manifest. The sermons which were brief were listened to with the closest at tention and at the end of the services there were many manifestations of appreciation. The morning discourse, which was upon the Parable of the Good Samaritan, fol- lows:
 Our Lord emphasized mans duty to his Fellow man. He taught more about con- duct than about anything else. Throughout His earth-lffe He had special interest in the weak, the unfortunate and the erring He cared nothing for mans position purse or popularity. He made no account Of rank or office, man was of conse- quence in proportion to his manhood.
 The question Who Is my neighbour" is determined. not by any marks in others, but by what is in ourselves. Love is the es- sentiai all-controlling factor in human life, and this principle must be brought to bear upon the great social and industrial prob lems Of the day. In no other way can there be brought in that social order called in the Scriptures "The Kingdom of God" Our study has been largely of things. relations and forces and not of man. Political econ omy has discussed production and cOnsump- tion, debt and credit. revenue and taxes, but too often left out the chief factor, man. Civilization that extends commerce, fOunds empires, makes discoveries and inven- tiOns. but fails to create a nobler. and grander manhood, and develop the simple virtues of life is of little value. Our Lord teaches that time. money and service. oil and wine are to be used for man. We are coming more end more to place the en- phasis upon Christly living and Christly sympathy, and not upon certain modes and processes of thinking. No man liveth to him self alone. God has not bestowed upon any mortal privileges, opportunities or blessings for himself alone.
 A successful life is life of serviceable- ness to God and to humanity. We are slow to see it.. We mistake values. We read life with a wrong emphasis. We set small things in the place of large things. We measure success in life by the low science that sense may furnish. A life that reach es and teaches no spiritual results is fail- ure. M -

Programme of Coronation Festivities
 Concluded.
 Portsmouth, England, Aug. liking Edward completed the programme of the coronation festivities to-day by re- viewing the fleet for the first time since his accession. From spectacular point of view the assemblage of a hundred and odd warsnips in the roadstead off Spithead was magnificent show. but to those looking beneath the brilliant veneer of paint and polish it was evil dent that the fighting strength of the fleet was by no means formidable. The lines of ships were thickly dotted with ineffectives. Among these may be men, tioned the third-class cruiser Calliope, of Apia fame, while others included such relics as the battleships Devasta- tion, Dreadnaught and Camperdown.

Illinois Apple Orchards,

Emerson Babcock gives GREEN'S

orchardlns in Illinois as follows: An
apple orchard syndicate in Clay and
Richland Counties has sold the apples
OF Its orchards. which aggregate three
hundred and twenty acres, for $l1 800.
This fruit Is from young orchards just
coming into bearing. There are one
hundred and twenty acres planted with

is highly priced for its hardness. pro-
ductiveness and the fine quality Of its
fruit. The best apple orchards of ILL.,
nois are on the southern border, en-
bracing seventy-five thousand acres of
apple orchards, mostly planted during
the past ten or twelve years. This is
the first general crop from these orch
ards. One thousand acres of apple
orchards may be seen near Flora, ILL.,,
and the trees there are heavily laden
With fine fruit this season. Ben Da-

How "protcction. Protects.

The Republican text book says that
the Republican party has increased the
wages of American workingmen by
protecting the product of their labor
from competition abroad. That is a
Republican campaign statement. But
let us see how well it grooves in with
the truth. protecting typewriters
adds S45 to their cost, protecting
sewing machines adds from $40 to $50
extra to their cost And so with the
carpenters tool box, the bricklayer's
trowels, the blacksmith's kit, in short,
the tools of every workingman's trade.
And not only does 1t make their tools

Way to Tariff Revision.

We refer to the earnest consideration
of the Iowa Republicans and others
the decision of the Republican manag-
ers in Congress not on any account to
change or revise the present tariff du-
ties. The position of the Iowa Repub-
licans and of Western Republicans gen
orally has been that since the tariff
protected trusts have become so rapa-
cious the revision of the tariff that pro-
tects them is an absolute necessity, but
1t should be revised by the Republicans
that framed it, and not by the Demo-
Gratis. We have now an authoritative
statement that the Republicans will not
revise 1t at ALL
The Western Republicans must be
right when they say that the tariff
should be changed in the interests of
the people to defend them against the
trusts. Since, therefore. it is officially
certified that it will not be so changed
by the Republicans, the only hope for
tariff relief is with the Democrats.
