Jeb Stuart
SnlaSfle2S a TraD
A FORTIETH
ANNIVERSARY.
WAR STORY
September Is, II, 1868 (

blue which he saw isolated from their
fellows on the other side. His request
was granted, and, crossing without op-
position, he formed squadrons and
charged the foe with a gallantry which
was witnessed by the troops of both
armies. After driving the Federals to
the shelter Of the woods Flournoy re-
turned to his camp at walk, carrying
of several prisoners.
With their armies fixed on the Rap
pahannock line, Lee and Meade, the
rival chieftains, seemed to have no
plan beyond that Of upsetting the plans
Of each other. Lee had been compelled
to detach Longstreet's corps and send
1t to Georgia to help the army of Bragg
In the fight for Chattanooga. Without
its old warhorse the Army Of Virginia
was ioath to try the issue of battle
against the victors Of Gettysburg.
While the infantry on both sides
idled the time in camp the cavalry was
alert to guard against surprise. In
war the unexpected may happen any
day. If Meade should discover the alb
sence Of Longstreet from Lees ranks
he might spring an attack. One day
Stuart found the cavalry Of Buford
marching in direction which would
take him to the rear of Lee He at
tackled the moving column by mounted
charges, but failed to shake the Federal
lines. While fighting in front Stuart
was alarmed to find another body of
cavalry marching around his flank to
cut him off from the Rapidan ford
For time Stuart thought he was lost.
When he attempted to draw out of the
fight with Buford the Federal leader
pressed the fighting all along the line
Fitzpatrick had thrown a line of dis
mounted men across the road to the
ford. Several mounted charges of
Stuart's men failed to shake off Blu
fords grip. The battle field was open
ground with a hill in the center. Stuart
planted all his guns on the hill, firing
them in both directions. while his regi-
ments could be seen charging east and
west from the hill.
Stuart saw that If Fitzpatrick held
the road he would be forced to retreat
across country and lose his guns. Two
regiments were told to cut through Kill
patricks line at any cost. The Fed
erals were lined up behind a fence. One
regiment rode at the fence full tilt,
throwing 1t down and bursting through
the line, forming on both sides of the
road. keeping it clear until the guns
passed through at gallon, After
passing his guns to the rear Stuart left
the field to Buford, glad to save his
command with the loss Of honor.
An amusing incident Of this fight on
the Confederate side was furnished
by one of the numerous foreign SOL
diers Of fortune who haunted the
camps Of both armies. For some weeks

ing name Of George St. Leger Grenfell

s'The Wrong OF Yesterday.n

'eThe Wrong OF Yesterday.n =
II right were always right
And wrong were always wrong,
How easily we might
Go rollicking along.
With ne'er doubt of reaching where
The righteous hope to go,
With none to SCOT and mono to dare
To try to drag US low,
How CALAMITY we might
Be bold and firm and strong
II right were always right
And wrong were always wrong.
Il.
The wrong Of yesterday
Tomorrow may be right:
The world still has a way
OF changing overnight.
Self interest may serve to make
That which before was wrong
A thing Of beauty; for sells sake
We join the weak or strong.
When what was base will pay
Or help to bring delight,
The wrong OF yesterday
Tomorrow may be right.

WashinE a Sweater.

Sometimes a sweater that has been
sent out to be Numbered will come back
distorted in shape. Often it is the
sleeves, which will be abbreviated to
nothing or stretched to almost twice
their natural length. In the latter case,
procure some thick boards, just the
length that you would have the sleeves.
Dip the sleeves into boiling water, push
a board into each so as to stretch it
transversely, then dry in the hot sun.
When dry, dip again in boiling water,
this time slightly sailed, and dry again
in the sun on the boards

MINSTREL MERGSTROR
DID A SERIOUS TURN
Found Asphyxiated From Gas in
His Room at a Hotel.

Edwin A Mergstrom, twenty-seven
years old, member of the Lew Dock
stader minstrel troupe, was found un-
conscious in his room on the third floor
of the Vatoldi Hotel. at sos Ninth Street
northwest. about 10 O'Clock this morn
ing.
The discovery was made by the cham
bermaid, who, in making her rounds.
discovered the odor of gas. An entrance
was effected to Mergstrom's room, and
the gas was found flowing from one Of
the two tets.
The man was hurried to the Emergen-
ey Hospital. where Drs White. Perkins,
and Hussey applied restoratives. and at
noon stated that he would probably re-
cover. No cause can be assigned by any
member of the company for an attempt
on his life. and as the two gas jets are
on the same pipe, it is thought Merg-
strom may have accidentally turned on
one Jet while turning off the other.

FREE ICE FOR SICK POOR
REACHED $4,000 POUNDS
Record of Summers Charitable Work
Among the Needy.

Secretary Wilson. of the Board of
Charities. reported to Commissioner
Macfariand today that 60 600 pounds Of
ice had been furnished last summer to
the sick. poor. and persons having
small infants. This was paid for by a
fund placed at Mr. Macfarland's dis
posal for that purpose by a Washing
tOnian, who spent the summer IN
Europe. The ice. together with ice
blankets when necessary. was distrib-
uted by means of tickets, furnished on
reports by the physicians to the poor.
and nurses Of the Instructive Visiting
Nurses Society.
Had II not been for the unusually
cool weather, three or four times as
much ice would have been required. 1t
is hoped an arrangement may be made
by which ice may be furnished free to
the sick poor this winter. A compare
lively small amount would be required.
Commissioner Macfarland has thanked
the donor. and Will thank the Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurses and Physicians TO
the Poor.

IT'S A MISTAKE
To Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor Grades
of Coffee.

Many people lay ali the blame for the
diseases caused by coffee upon the poor
er grades of coffee but this is an error
as the following proves: Il have used
every kind of the best grade Of tea and
coffee that can be got from a first class
grocer but never found one that would
not upset my nervous system and IL was
not until ! began 20 drink Postum Food
Coffee in place of coffee and tea that 1
had relief from the terrific attacks of
nervous sick headache from which l had
suffered for thirty years.
Il had tried all kinds OF medicines but
none helped me.
"soon after l stopped drinking coffee
and began 20 drink Postum the head
aches grew less and Il was not long until
was entirely cured and / have never
had a return OF this distressing trouble
for nowadays ! never drink coffee but
stick TO Postum
las soon as my wife saw what Postum
had done for me she gave NJ coffee
which she had drank all her life. This
was six weeks ago and she is a changed
woman for her nervousness has all dis
appeared her face has become smooth
and her cheeks have a good rosy red
color. She sleeps well, too, something
she could never do while she drank
coffee. We consider Postum a household
necessity in my house and have induced
many friends to try this wonderful food
drink in place of coffee" Name given

WILL SEEK LEGISLATION
Want Bill Passed to Prohibit Enlisted
Musicians From Taking Contracts
When Not on Duty.

c. e. Linden, secretary of the local
musical union, said this morning a bill
would undoubtedly be introduced in Con-
gress prohibiting all enlisted musi-
clans. including the Marine Band. from
taking civil contracts when not on
duty
This question is being agitated at the
headquarters OF the American Federation
of Musicians. Whether a new bill will
be prepared on this subject, or the same
bill which was presented last session
and sidetracked again submitted to
Congress, has not been decided
Advocate Higher Pay.
Mr.. Linden said that the union musi
clans are not antagonistic to the en-
listed musicians, and they would advo-
cate higher pay for them, as the pay
which they now receive is undoubtedly
too little
The bill will, however, carry on the old
fight against the enlisted musicians TAX
ing work which would otherwise go 10
the union man.
Union Mems Earnings.
Mr.. Linden said the great majority of
musicians in the local union made from
$45 to sos a month, and few earn as
much as $780, The members of the
Marine Band. he said, are always sure
of $50 to $50 a month pay, and other al
lowances amounting to $40 or S12.
The union man, on the other hand,
has TO run the risk of a dull season.
