"The Young MARQUIS -

In the lower end OF Union Square, In New
York is bronze statue. 1t is nearly op-
poslte the corner of Broadway and 18th
street. 1t represents a tall young man in
the close-fitting uniform of an American
general of the time of the revolution. With
his right hand he clasps a sword against
his breast. His left hand is stretched out
toward the statue Of Washington on horse
back, which is near by
rms Is the statue of Lafayette, the gal
lant Frenchman, whom the people of the
revolutionary days delighted to name the
young marquis" His real name was Marie
Jean Paul Roch Yves Gilbert Motier, Mar

His service to America was SO great that
the statue was set up in his honor in order
that young Americans may not forget him
who fought for them.

INTERRUPTED ELoQUENcE.

It may not be generally known that our colonel was shot for making a speech, but he was. It was at Mission ary Ridge, It was about this way: Our right and center had been broken and it devolved on Cleburne's troops to hold Sherman in check till the broken troops could cross the Chicilamauga. We were behind light breastworlss on top of the ridge and Sherman's troops, under cov- CT of the hill had taken position under the short turn of the hill, not more than thirty steps from us. and in their in tended charge we could not see them until within twenty feet, and they would be able to run right over us be- fore we could get in more than one fire. If they could drive Cleburne back they would capture the biggest part of army artillery and wagons. We had but one line. while they had four. It was vir- tually Clcburne's division against Sher- mans corps. sherman was virtually in our recr. CIeburne, knowing he could not withstand such unequal onset, de- teImined to make a counter charge and, like Hams mule, blow first" I heard | Cleburne tell the officers he was going to charge them. The men sprang to their feet ready for the work. Then Colonel Mills fronted his men and in hearing of the Yankees proceeded to fire them up. and said: Soldiers of Texas. the pride of the Yankee army is in twenty s,eps of you. The safety of the army is in your hands. They must , be driven back or all is lost. You have responded to every call of danger and i your country. The eyes of your moth CTS and sisters are upon you"
 At this point the Yankees shot him, for they were close enough to hear ev- cry word he said. He reeled down the hill and was hurried to Dr. Stuart for repairs.-T. W. Morrlss in Brenham, | Tex, Press.

 There is a clump of lilac bushes on one side of the road. Last May the lilacs were in bloom. and the air was fragrant with the perfume of sweet scented flowers. It was then that the lilacs started a rumpus.
 Farrell, who is an old man, was trim ming the bushes with a saw and gath ering unch of lilacs for two young men who were visiting him. Quigg hap

 Meanwhile the guard had been look ing about the corners of the car and asking folks to move. He finally traced the barking to a large square leather handbag, carried by male passenger.

It Seems strange now to read that in ante bcllum days the Maryland legis- lature once passed q law prohibiting slave owners from feeding terrapin to their slaves oftener than once a week. The passage of this law was prompted by the negro taste for pork.

NO MEETING HELD.
Fuel Supply Committee Failed to Meet
 Last Night.

Fuel Supply Committee Failed to Meet
 Last Night.
 It was expected to a meeting of the special fuel supply committee would be held last night in city hall but at the time for calling it Mayor Studley, George M. Wallace, Alderman Sprightly and Alderman Trueman were the only ones on hand. They waited around the building for some time and as nobody else came they left. Shortly after they left Chairman c. S. Hamilton came around the corner and wondered where his fellow committeeman were. He, too, waited, but finally left the hall.
 He was seen later and said that a meeting would surely be held soon, pos sibly tomorrow night, but that no date had been set for it.
 There seems to be a little confusion concerning the best thing to be done by this committee and it was suggested by Mayor Studley that a meeting of business men be called and possibly some plan for getting coal or wood te this city could be agreed upon. He said there was little probability of 8 special meeting of the board of alder men being called.
 It is understood that the special conn., mittee report contains the statement that a quantity of coal can be bought in Nova Scotia and sold here at $S ton.

I had tried three doctors and all for no purpose; the last doctor advised me to stop all medicine. had to any wav I was so weak I was prostrate in bed.

In two weeks, I could walk out to the kitchen: in four weeks I walked half a block. and to-day I do my own light housekeeping.

cepting the proposition, but that in the end much good will result.
 There is still a third view held by miners which is to refuse to accept the plan offered and make counter prOpo- sition embodying some of the sugges- tions contained in the operators offer. One proposition suggested was that the operators, the miners and the pres ident each select a number of men to act as a board. This was mentioned to President Mitchell, but he would make no comment on it.
 Strike headquarters presented an ami mated scene all day and evening. The news of the operators proposition to arbitrate spread through the region quickly. A crowd soon gathered and fingered around the hotel all day. President Mitchell had many visitors who called to get the news. He, how ever, treated all callers alike and gave out no information. In the early hours the situation appeared mixed, but to- wards noon reports came in from out lying districts to the effect that many men looked unfavorably on the opera tors proposition which gave an indica- ton of what might be expected. This was a damper upon the enthusiasm of the citizens generally who thought they saw a ray of hope for the ending of the strike. As an indication of how some of the men felt, a local leader who was among the strikers in the outskirts of the city came into headquarters and quoted the men as saying that they would rather go down to straight de- feat than surrender to the employers
 on the conditions they propose.
 The situation around the collieries
 was partially lost sight of because of
 last nights developments, but there was
 no material change from that of yester- day. The arbitration talk has acted a:
 a check upon the movement of men re- turning to work and it is probable there will be no great movement in this di'
 rection until some definite conclusion 1T
 the arbitration scheme The prospec
 for coal supply to meet the rapidly approaching coal weather is by nc
 means bright. If the miners should accept the arbitration plan of the opera ! tors it would take at least two week.
 before the details of sending them bacl could be worked out. As the outlool for arbitration Is rather dark, it can b
 safely said that there will be little nor coal on the market for some time t. come than there is at present.

A DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR.
The Entertainment and Dance by Howe
 9. Stetson Employees.

The Entertainment and Dance by Howe
 & Stetson Employes.
 The entertainment and dance given by Howe & Stetson's employees at Music hall last evening was largely attended. The hall was very handsomely decorat- ed blue and white streamers reaching from the chandeliers to the balconies, while red, white and blue shields. stars and plumes tastefully hung here and there with national flags draped over over the windows and beneath the gas jets constituted the rest of the decora- tons.
 Great credit is due the committee on decoations and arrangements especially to the chairman of the executive com mittee. James T. O'Connor, whose ener- gy and time has been given during the past two weeks to make the entertain ment and dance such successful affair. MT. O'Connor three years ago entered the employ of Howe & Stetson. ! The entertainment took up the first past of the evening, and opened with a soprano solo by Miss Leola D. Lucey. After the solo farce entitled 'The Day Before the Wedding" was presented by the Misses Valkenburgh, Gallagher and Male and the Messrs. Muller, Collan and Harvey.
 A programme of twenty dances filled out the latter part of the evening, and dancing continued until the wee sma' hours Of the morning.
 The executive committee was compos- ed of the following: James T. OConnor chairman, and the Misses Gallagher Hine. Powers, and Mendoza. and the Messrs. Ryder, Miller, Callan, Harvey and w. Taylo

HANGED BY THE NECK.

In The Wide World Magazine Rich ard Hicks, an old time actor, tells of his narrow escape from being hanged on the stage of the Queens theater. Bublin. He was playing the part of Achmet, particularly villainous character, who after long career is. to the general satisfaction of the audi ence captured by two British soldiers and promptly hanged.
 "One night, while struggling with my captor the rope slipped from my shoul- ders and knotted itself around my neck just as I was being hauled up,' says MT. Hicks. Never shall I forget that awful moment Directly I felt the tog at my neck I gave convulsive kick and tried to shout 'stop! but the word could not escape from my twitching lips. could only make a gurgling noise. Frantically I kicked and struggled. Plain there was none, strangely enough, beyond a choking, suffocating sensation, and I could hear the tumul- tpous applause of the audience, who were hugely entertained with what they imagined was my realistic acting.
 "Then a terrible sensation, like mol ten lead rushing down my spine, per vaded my whole body, and I thought my legs were bursting. I gave another mighty struggle and strove-ab! how l strove-to scream. 1 seemed to behold mighty rush of green water, and my ears were filled with the roar of a cata- ract. I have a dim recollection of see- ing great crimson sun shining dimly from behind the waterfall, and I can remember falling indefinitely through space!
 Two days afterward recovered con- sciousness, and then I suffered inde- scribable agony. The suffocating sen- sation still remained, but it was ac- companied by an unquenchabe thirst, not to mention fearful pains in my body and limbs.'
