True Version Of a Famous Order.

From the New York Tribune.
Did Admiral Dewey ever give the
now historical order. "You may fire
when you are ready, Gridley?" In
terested spectators Of the engage
ment say that those words were new
er spoken, but the sentence was ar
ranged after the fight was over. The
inside facts regarding the great May
day battle Of 1898 pnt new light
on the incident, and one who talked
with the admiral soon after that bat
tie is authority for the following
veracious account:
admiral Dewey never gave the
order, in those words at least. That
utterance was put in his mouth by
others and agreed upon as an appro-
pirate one to hand down toposterity
along with the other famous sayings
OF history. Soon after the last shot
had been fred and the Spanish power
in the Pacific was thing of the past
the newspaper correspondents gath
cred about the admiral as is the GUS
tom on such occasions to get the
facts for their dispatches. The ad-
miral told briefly everything that
had taken place, and when he had
finished his recital the group fell to
discussing the events OF the day.
Finally one OF them reminded the ad-
miral that it was customary for
some famous utterance to be handed
dswn from every important engage
ment in history; some terse, brief ex-
preston characteristic OF the man
who led his forces to victory.
Didn't you make some utterance
or give some order during the fight
that we can use in this connecticut"
asked one Of the newspaper men.
no." replied the commander.in.
chief, nothing in particular that 1
recollect."
"Well, didn't you give some direc-
ton OF some sort that can be used in
that way?" NO." replied Dewey,
nothing that's noteworthy" "Well,
what did you say when you ordered
the fray to begin?''l asked the CORE.
spondent, somewhat desperately.
"Simply ordered Captain Gridley to
go ahead" "Ah," calculated the
correspondents, breathing signs o.
relief, and thereupon the famous or
der, couched in the words which have
become known everywhere, was sug
gested and agreed upon generally
The subsequent dispatches wer'
featured by the words then arranged
and put into the shape in which thu
order will appear in histories for cen
turtles to come.

BRAVE YOUNG CHARI0TEER

Old Piloted Runaway Team.
From the New York World.
A daring little charioteer was Alex
ander Stewart, and many persons
who saw him swaying on a wagon
pole between q team OF runaways
Friday marveled at his GOODNESS.
Children playing in the street in the
path OF the runaways were either
warned by Alexander's cries or he
piloted the horses clear of them.
Alexander is only 8. He was "mind.
ing" the horses, a team OF big grays
attached to a contractors cart.
Martin McCauley, aged 7, Alexan-
der's playmate, climbed into the cart
and began shouting and dancing
ioyously. This frightened the team
and they moved off at a brisk pace.
Martin prodded them with the whip
and yelled more loudly. The cart
was soon flying over the rough pave
ment with the biggraysinfull gallop.
Alexander could not suppress Mar
tin, so he determined to stop the
runaways. The reins were trailing
in the road. He lowered himself to
the whifnetree and started out on
the unsteady wagon pole. A crowd
OF children were playing near the
crossing as the runawaysa pproached
Vanderbilt avenue. Alexander gave
a tug at the check reins and caused
the team to swerve. The children
cheered as he swept by on his marrow
perch.
Further along the street we're othel
children whom Alexander warned II
time to escape. He had almost reach
ed the horses heads when the car
bounded from a rut and he lost hi
footing.
1t was only an instant before b
had swung himself back, and person
watching him saw that the immedi
ate danger Of his being trample'
beneath the runaways' hoofs wa
passed.
i Near the engine house in Underhi
avenue a fireman caught the teal
and assisted Alexander in stoppin
them.

Berlin, May 6.-The Frankiurter

Those killed numbered 5000.
Bosnia is one OF the Balkan states

The Moslems at given signal fell
upon the Christians throughout the

for several days, the paper states.
The civilians were aided in their
work by the Turkish soldiers, who
acted as leaders OF individual bands.
Following the massacre, the torch
was used. Whole Christian villages
were destroyed. Hardly a Christian

escaped, although it is believed there
may be few hiding in mountain
caves. These are now being searched
for by the blood-hunting Turks and

Danger in the Mine.
IN one OF the mines in the Pittsburg

chamber had been closed on account
OF gas, and the men were thinking of
what that might mean, when sudden

terror. 1t gave shrill bray, and then
was gone down the entry, broken
traces flying after it. The men, with
one impulse, dropping picks, made a
headlong dash for the open air. With
scared faces other miners joined, and
while they were wondering what it all
meant, a dull. deep explosion went
rumbling through the hollow back of
them, followed by wave on wave of
noxious vapors. When the bodies of
the few poor men who had been
hopelessly entrapped were recovered.
another was tenderly carried out with
theirs-that Of the little gray mule
that sounded the warning.

calahash Tree of West Indies,

In the West Indies there is a tree
in height and size resembling an ap.
pie tree, called a calabash tree. It has
wedge-shaped leaves, large, white,
feshy blossoms, that grow not like
those on most trees, on the smaller
branches, but on the trunk and big
branches. The fruit that succeeds the
blossom is much like a common gourd,
and good deal stronger, and often
measures twelve inches in diameter.
The hard shell of this fruit is cut into
different shapes by the natives and
handsomely carved. It is made into
drinking cups, dishes, buckets and
even pots. It is said these calabash
dishes can be-. used over the fire for
boiling water, just as we would use an
