In that year Louis XVI., prompted by

ed to dispatch q small army to the
United States to assist the soldiers
of Washington. Count Rochambeau
was appointed to take command OF
this force and persuaded the king to
increase it to 5000 men. He embarked
at Brest May 2, 1880, and sailed immedi-
ately under the escort of Chevalier de
Ternay with five ships of the line. Off

his headquarters at Newport he wrote
to Lafayette, on August 81, urging a
cautious campaign, and in an interview
with Washington, on September 90,
concerted the operations of the cam

strict discipline among his troops, and
toward the end of October sent his son
to Paris to urge the forwarding of
money, supplies and reenforcements.
After receiving tidings of the arrival
of Count de Grnsse, with 1000 men,
he had another interview with Wash

ginin campaign was determined.
On June is, 1881. he left his quarters
and, marching toward the Hudson

army on Manhattan island. He then

congress of the United States for the
purpose of perpetuating the memory
of Jean Baptiste Donation de Vimeure,
Count de Rochambeau, commander in
chief of the French troops sent to
America in 1880 to assist the strug-
Cling revolutionists against their Brit
ish foes. Rochambeau never became
as heroic figure in American estima-
ton as Marquis de Lafayette, al
though he was a greater soldier than
his younger compatriot.
The count was born in Vendome,
July j, 1725. He was destined for the
church, and received his education in
the Jesuit college at Blois, when the
death of an older brother left him
sole heir to the paternal estate. He
at once entered the army as cor
net in the famous regiment of Saint
Simon, and served in the German
Rhine provinces and in Bavaria and
Bohemia. In 1747, at the age OF ~,
he was made a colonel, and in 1748 was
present at the historic siege of Macs
tricht. On June 1, 1749, he succeeded
his father as governor Of vendome.
At Minorca, in April 1856. he led his
regiment to the assault of Fort ST.
Philippe, and greatly contributed to
the capture OF Port Mahon. He was
then created a knight of St. Louis, pro-
noted to brigadier generalship, and
served with credit in the German cam.

It is announced that the leaders In

disfavor upon any legitimate move to
reduce the burdens of taxation. But
there is reason to fear that Mr.. Payne

sound of the protest against the indeh-

A ban has been placed on the singing
of high c in the choir Of st. Paul's

Mrs. Katheryn L. ST. John, musical di-
rector and solo soprano of the choir,
declaring that she is unwilling to be

has resigned her position.
Mrs. St. John has had charge Of the

OLD RUINS In JERUSALEM.
Shrine to Furnish Souvenirs to
Visiting Tourists,

The Greek Catholic monks, who
are in possession of the chief por-
tons of the Church of the Holy Sep
ulchre, are now going to build a
bazaar opposite it, where pilgrims
may purchase souvenirs of their visit
to Jerusalem. During the process of
clearing the site the foundations of
an old medieval church, 40 meters
long and 80 wide, with three apses,
were discovered. A number Of fine
capitals, fragments of basalt pillars,
and has rehets, with symbolic ami
mails, were found, ell these remains
having doubtless belonged to the
choir of the church. Last year val
liable silver shrine, containing a
piece of the holy Cross and relics
of the Apostles Peter and Paul-ac-
cording. at least, 10 the inscriptions
on them-was discovered at the same
piece, says the London STANDARD.
The patriarch of Jerusalem, 1t Is
said, is keeping other discoveries Sc
cret, owing to his dislike of the Ro-
man Catholic church. Those men
toned above are all the more i'm
portant as it can be ascertained to
what church they belonged. Accord
Ing to the statement of medieval
travellers, the hosPice and the mon
astery which the citizens of Amalf
founded about the year $40, as ref
uge for western pilgrims. were stu
ated due south of the holy sepulcher,
about stones throw away. The
first church was built In honor of
st. Mary de Latinfs, and the second,
the ruins of which have now been
found, in honor At St. John the Bap-
list. The French monk Bernard, who
lived there in $40, highly praised the
hospitality and the large library of
the hospice.
A Mohammedan historian says It
was destroyed by the Khalif Hakem,
and rebuilt shortly afterward; while,
according to another account, it
prospered down to the time Of King
Baldwin of Jerusalem, from 100 to
Ills, when the two communities of
St. Mary and st. John adopted the
latter as their joint protector. This
was the origin of the Knights of st.
John. The remains now discovered,
therefore, are the ruins of the cradle
of this order. It is most unfortunate
that the preservation of these very
interesting remains seems impossi-
BILE, owing to the i'll feeling which ex-
| it's between the Greeks and Roman
| Catholics in Jerusalem.

April, 1882, marched to invest New
York, but the plan was abandoned.
After visiting Washington he went to

Upon his return to France he was

King Louis, and in December, 1871, was
created field marshal. In 1893 he was
imprisoned in the conciergerie at
Paris and narrowly escaped the scat
fold. In 1904 he was created a grand
officer of the Legion of Honor by Ma
poleon and given life pension. He
died in his castle at Thore, May 10,
1907, at the age of So.
Rochambeau was by no means a per-
feet man, but he was brave soldier
and able strategist. The lapse of
time has made the world forget his
peculiar political methods; and we, "a
Americans, remember only that he
was friend in need and lent his brain
and arm to the cause of liberty.

DR.. Clancy Of this city, assisted by Dr..
Windell of Minot, performed very
critical operation on Mr.. Elijah Moss,
removing portions of both bones of the
right leg below the knee and sutnring
together with silver wire the ends Of
Opposing fragments of the respective
bones. From the standpoint of surgical
technique the operation was com plete
success, and had it not been for evil
dence Of necrosis, which the doctors un-
expectedly found and were unable to
entirely remove without ampntaiion.
Mr.. Moss would undoubtedly soon be
on sound footing again. AS it is, the
doctors entertain some fears as to the
ultimate union of the bones. We sim
cerely hope that ampntation will not be
required, but if union does not take
place, such may be necessary to prevent
septicamia.

Knock off the Tax.

The forthcoming legislative assembly
ought to do little work that will benefit
the people of the state. One matter that
should receive their attention is the
modification of ouS tax laws. Mortgages
Of every description should be eiminat-
ed from the assessors list. There is no
more sense in assessing mortgage than
there would be IN assessing the manure
pile in farmers barnyard. There are
several reasons for this: One is, that by
assessing a mortgage it's value as a Sc
curity is deprecated, and makes it diff.
cult for borrower of money to secure
loan without paying an exhorbitant rate
of Interest, Is the owner of money will
not loanit out a. or 8 per cent il he
has to pay tax of 4 and per cent on
the mortgage he holds as security. An
other is, that the taxation of mortgages
lis double taxation, and their listing
gives false and fictitious valuation Of
the assessabIe property of the state.
For instance: A borrows 81 900 Of B to
buy bunch OF sheep from &, and gives
3 chattel mortgage on the sheep to
secure the loan. Under the law the 49,
SCISSOR comes along assesses A $1,000 for
the sheep, G is assessed for the money
($l ,O00) he got from A, and 3 is assessed
81 600 for his mortgage. Now you have
50, 900 Of assessment, with only $1,000 Of
property actually in existence-the mon
ey and the sheep. And besides this, it
is only the resident mortgage holder
who is assessed, thus discriminating be-
tween residents and non-residens. If
mortgages are to be assessed, why not
assess mans fire or lie insurance poll
cies? There's as much sense in the one
as the other. What do you think of it?
