PLACED DUTY BEFORE WORK.
Man in Need of Employment Refused
 Job to March with the Un-
 .l employed. ..

A London preacher had an interest ing experience not long ago with a hun gry man. The mendicant explained that he had found it absolutely impos- sible to get work. He had applied ev- anywhere, always to be turned away, and at last nothing remained for him but to beg from door to door for the food that was necessary to keep life in his body. ......
 The clergyman's heart was filled with pity. The poor man seemed to be honest, and after being furnished with a good meal he was asked where mes sage would reach him. He gave an ad- dress and went away.
 Then the preacher sat down to think the matter over. He knew of no work that he could find for the man, but he decided to invent job. Accordingly the next day the preach CT sent a message to the Iuckless man, saying:
 Come at once. I have a position for you. We need a man to clean our school house and keep it in order" He received an immediate reply as l follows:
 "Sorry I can't come. Ihave to march | with the unemployed to-day Would tomorrow do?"

showing that if the Federals wanted Marye's hill they would have to fight for it. Tn order to prevent the Confed- crates from concentrating at the stron- gest points Sedgwick extended his four divisions along the base of the hill. facing the fortified front and both Hanks. The divisions of Newton and Howe took the center to scale the heights, and Gibbon and Brooks form ed on the right and left flank.
 Marye's hill and the adjacent lines were held that day by Early's Confed- crate division of 5000 men. Wilcox's brigade lay at Banks ford, few miles up the Rappahannock. Gibbon opened the attack by dashing past the left flank of Early, who sent Hays bri- gade forward from the hill and called up Wilcox from the ford. Gibbon was checked. Sedgwick decided upon di- rect assault of the hill and the stone wall which formed a bloody barrier when Burnside stormed it a few months before.
 The post of honor in the charge fell by accident to the Sixth Maine regiment, Q OO0J VA CIaA" 0AI @OAIOSAASA AAOL4 the banks of the Penobscot. The Sixth formed the right of Colonel Burnham's s light division, which was deployed as the main line of battle. The wings were composed of two regiments in column, supported by two deployed in line. The right wing led off up the plank road which crosses Marye's hill. This was @ signal for the whole line, and the Confederate batteries on the crest took for targets the solid ranks of the wings. Colonel Johns and Colonel Spear, leaders of the wings, were quick ly cut down. Spears column was swept away, but Johns, after being twice broken under the terrible fire, rallied and rushed on up the hill.
 At the first rush the men of Maine broke loose from the commands on the right and left and stormed the stone wall where the fire was hottest. Over the wall they went, so rapidly that the Confederate reserves hadn't time to rally. The rife pits and redoubts on the crest were carried by the bayo- net. Major Joel A. Haycock of the Sixth fell while cheering his men at the first rife pits. As they were about to mount them, sword in hand. four young captains were cut down at the

head of their companies by bullets fired in their faces. This fatal volley also cut down scores of the men, but the survivors were only maddened by the disaster and rushed upon the de- lenders of the rife pits with bayonets and clubbed muskets. The attack on the redoubts was carried to the mouths of the guns. Colonel Harris lodged load of canister and laid his hand upon a cannon.
 Sergeant Gray, the Maine color bear er was so close to the muzzle of the gun that the force of the discharge knocked him down. Sergeant Hill. a comrade, seized the flagstaff and plant ed the flag, which had been riddled with canister, upon the, embankment. Confederates swarmed to the spot to beat back the assailants, and then the Maine boys piled their bayonets with out stint. One of them bayoneted two antagonists and brained a third with the butt of his rife.
 Hand to hand conflicts are short lived, and this ended in few min utes, with Colonel Burnham in posses sion of the heights, the guns and hun dreds of prisoners.

Why Many Young Men Fall.

It is the fault and the cause of the failure of so many bright, capable young men that, being put into cer- tain work-day rut, they make no effort to climb or even crawl out of it; they do not seek the work that is not routine and go beyond the terms of the bond in search of additional labor in order to attract the approving notice of their employers. They do not go to their posts before nor remain at them after the fixed hour. They are content to do enough, and no more than enough, to earn their hire- The life of the average clerk is generally genteel, easy, clean ly; he need not soil his hands nor his clothes, and his ambition is satisfied with these pleasant conditions-Phil- adelphia Ledger.

His sister, strange to relate, had op- posed the marriage of her brother. She had been so long accustomed to have him under her sisterly wing, at- tending to his wants and making his home for him, that she looked with suspicious eyes on any woman whom she might suspect of attracting him.
 Charles, who had felt the gentle pas sion on several occasions, had been forced to break off all negotiations in the direction of matrimony because of her attitude.
 When he fell in love with the widow Williams he realized that circumspec- tion would have to be employed or this affair, like the others, would come to an unttmely end. He began by buying his stogies at her store.
 The widow became considerably mystifed by these attentions until one day he handed her banknote in pay ment of bill, and out of it dropped another kind of note. This proved l to be love letter, in which, Charles declaIed his passion and stated the | reasons for his caution.
 The widow thought the matter over dispassionately Charles was not an unprepossessing bridegroom, and the widow felt that he might add cheerful ness to her lonely life. She decided to accept, and the next time she handed him change return note was pressed in his hand. This said "Yes.'' Then Charles became slightly flus- tered, but he managed to hide his ex- citement from his sister. A marriage in his home town was out of the ques- l ton. The sister would have dragged him from the altar.
 An ,elopement was planned by means I of tho notes, and one day the widow hired 8 man to take charge of her shop while she made visit to the neighbor- ing city of Austin. Brother Charles also made excuses al home and slipped away.
 That night the sister received tele- gram announcing the marriage of the two. Now if she will give them her I blessing she will be allowed to manage the affairs both of the home and the
 cigar store. -.r. ~.

AGE LIMIT UNKNOWN
Cupid Robs the Cradle as Readily
 as the Grave.
E,When Love Enters the Heart Years Count for Nothing - Startling
 EIopement of ChiIdren-Ro-
 nance or 50 and so.

|} There is no age limit on romance. Children of IS and .16 and old men and women of 50 and 60 and older will ex- hibit about the same emotions when they become involved in an affair of the heart,
 To prove that romance knows no ages is simple. There is the case of Daisy Butcher and Willie Falk. Daisy was just of the age when mother thinks of letting down another inch in her daughters skirts. Willie was new to the dignity of long trousers The lady in the case started it. She wrote a note on perfumed paper to Willie, ask ing him if he would marry her. Both lived in Torrington, Conn. She had gone to the trouble of finding out ex- actly where they might be married without difficulty, and in her letter she explained that this could be ac- ,complished in Brewster, N. Y., just across the Connecticut state line.
 The letter fell into the hands of Will lies mother, and she gasped when she .realized it's businesslike nature. She inquired about the fascinating Daisy, and discovered from her youthful son and heir that he had met the girl at a children,s party two weeks previous ly. and that he had promptly fallen in love with her.
 Mrs. Falk gave her precocious off spring some sound advice and good scolding on the impropriety of his con- duct and sent him to bed, telling him to think over her words of wisdom.
 lfFya day he was missing. He had put on his best suit of clothes and his new shoes When inquiries were made at Daisy home it was discovered that she, too Jwas missing. So, also, were her party gown, pink sash and flower bonnet.
 Efforts were made to locate the chill dren, but before anything could be done to prevent it the news was

THE COUNTRY NEGRO.
Some of the Advantages He Enjoys Which Are Denied to His City Brother.

The average city negro grows up in the shade. He is completely over- shadowed by his overtowering envi- ronment. As one walks along the streets of our great cities and views the massive buildings and sky-seek- ing structures, he finds no status for the negro above the cellar floor. The city negro of education and culture is forced into menia1 employment be- cause higher forms of occupation are preempted by the more favored class. There are a dozen competitors for every dollar in sight, and in the great majority of cases, the negro is handicapped by his color, says the Southern Workman.
 The country negro, on the con- trary, is on terms of equality with his environment. He is not con- fronted by suggestions of inequality at every turn. Nature is mother who is equally kind and beneficent to all of her children. An acre of ground will yield as much for the black as for the white tiller. The markets are colorblind. No one in quires into the color of the producer of the best produce in the market, except as matter of idle curiosity. No labor organization has yet placed boycott upon negro farm labor. The farm offers for the negro the only really unhampered field which is open to him on an unlimited scale.

 ~ ARLY on May 3, 1863, General
 Sedgwick took up the Freder-
 icksburg end of the Chancel-
 lorsville fight by attacking Ma rye's hill. Sedgwick had been left in front of Fredericksburg, while Hooker marched around the flank of Lee to Charlottesville, partly to mislead the enemy as to the aim of Hooker and also to guard Rockers flank while he was crossing the Rappahannock. His corps was 10000 strong, about equal in numbers to the column with which Stonewall Jackson had smashed Hook er's line the afternoon of May 2. -.
 Stonewall's sudden blow in an unex- pected quarter caused Hooker to sur mise that Lee had been alarmed by the crossing of the Federal army over the Rappahannock and moved his whole force away from Fredericksburg to meet the emergency. In that case Ma rye's hill was without defenders, and Sedgwick could no longer be of use in front of the town. He therefore or dered Sedgwick to march from Freder icksburg over Marye's hill to Chancel- lorsville. This would bring him in the rear of Lee, who, with the division of McLaws, lay between the two points and was hammering at Rockers left flank, while Jackson attacked on the right. Hooker was himself between two fires, and if Sedgwick closed in as ordered Lee would be between two fires. ~
 But Lee was in a position to light two separate battles in a day with the same troops. When Sedgwick's 8 men began to advance toward the height, the Confederate guns opened,

 JAMES R. WAITE AT JACQUES.
 That the veteran James R Waite has still many friends in Waterbury is be- ing amply demonstrated by the large audience that has gathered this after noon to witness his first appearance as vaudeville headliner. Mir Waite has been coming to Waterbury so many years, and always with such strong claim to public favor, that he is better known, perhaps, than any actor who comes here. It is his first time, however, to visit us in his pres ent capacity as vaudeville star, and for that reason there is added inter est in his visit. He has an excellent vehicle this time, 1t is said, in the de- lightful comedietta, "A Touch of Ma ture," which he is presenting in con junction with Vernon Somers and Vir- ginia Dormer, there being bit of cap ital character drawing for MT Waite in the role of uncle to New York brokers wife. It is just such a char acter as one might expect MT Waite to portray to a nicety, which, indeed, he does. The act should prove pop ular headline feature during the week and MT Waite be made to feel that his efforts in this new direction are appre- ctated by those for whom he has done so much in a different line of entertain ment in the past. There is a capital array of we'll known entertainers to back MT Waite in giving a show that is sure to find popular favor, among them Swan and Bambard, the Bison City Quartet, Lauder and Stanley, Orth and Fern, FYossie Allen, Dorsch and Russell, and the vitag graph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

"oUEEN OF THE HIGHWAY" 1"

This lurid melodrama, which will be played at Polls this evening, will be a genuine treat for those who like
 realism and grand scenic effects com
 bined with a thrilling, sensational story of western life. There is fas- cination in a well-told story of ''those
 days of old, days of gold, those days
 of foTty-nine," and who can tell it bet ter than the popular author, Charles A. Taylor, who was raised among the picturesque characters and scenes which should make his latest play, Queen of the Highway" one of the greatest successes of the season. In this production one gets d true insight to the hazardous life of the scout, pony express rider and stage driver of early days; both sides of the picturesque life of the Indian is shown; the intelligent love of horse for its master is one of the scenes that touch the heart; the fidelity of Great Dane for it's mis- tress is another. An attack by wild wolves shows the possibilities of ami mai training; the rescue of the hero by an Indian girl shows the quick wit of a woman, the genuine cunning of the primitive daughter of Eve. The plot reyolyes is on the strenuous or der, bold, dashing, riding and shooting
