Rockers Fight @;s s:::s::4.r s S:;5i;4$ !9ssS '''.ss;- ;.:, Above the Clouds

 @ URING the lifetime of General
 Hooker the famous battle D above the clouds" so long asso-
 ciated with the name of Tight ing Joe,," was pronounced myth by General Grant in an interview made public. through the New York Herald. Hooker, supported by many of his old army friends, contradicted the state ment with some spirit. Whether the wordy war opened the eyes of Grant to the truth is uncertain, but afterward when writing his memoirs Grant de scribed something very like battle as having been fought on Lookout noun tain Nov. A, 1863.
 Below is a summary of the state ments of two Confederate officers showing that, battle or no battle, there was a masterly military achievement on the part of Rockers army when Lookout mountain fell into Federal hands. The Confederate force on the mountain when Rockers troops sealed that lofty height consisted of Steven son's division. Colonel D. R. Hundley of the Thirty first Alabama was divi- sion officer of the day for the twenty four hours which included Hooker's at tack sStevenson's line was spread up on the crest and along the slopes, and it was the duty of Colonel Hundley to make the rounds and know by personal observation all that took place on the whole front.
 The key to the position which offered the assailants first foothold on the mountain side was guarded by Walt halls brigade This key point was wide plateau about halfway up the mountain, overlooking the approaches from the Federal side. As support for Walthall the brigade of Pettus stood on the summit above, and as a reserve Nesbitts brigade of Georgians lay at the base of the mountain on : the Confederate side. It should be stated that at the time of the affair on Lookout mountain the whole Con- federate army of Bragg, with the ex- ception of Stevenson's division and the army of Grant, with the exception of Rockers corps, faced each other at Mission ridge, a minor elevation con- tiguous to Lookout, Bragg holding the ridge and Grant reaching for 1t from the valley below. Stevenson momen- tarily expected that Bragg would call his division to the defense of Mission

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES
 On all sides is heard strong com mendation of the splendid shows that Manager Poli has been providing at the Jacques this season, and this weeks particularly good one has come in for enthusiastic approval. John Kernell, who holds the chief place on the bill, has made good with his Irish jokes and stories, and he has already won his way into extensive popular favor. His stories are such as illustrate the true Irish wit and for that reason are so acceptable to none as to the Irishs people themselves. John l.. Kearney and May. Dwyer have also made fine impression with their protean sketch "The Impostor, ," and Ernest Hogan with his colored players in "The Missionary Man" have caught the town. There is plenty of fun in these three headline acts alone, but Manager Poli has sup plemented them with other splendid ones, offered by MT and Mrs Neil Litchfeld. Dick and Alice McAvoy. Reata Winfield and Ed and Nettie Mappe. The electrograph, too, is en- tertaining with it's pictures of ''The Daring Burglar" Prices are 10, 20 and 3U cents; afternoons 10 and 20 calts. ladies 10.

the pages of history leaves no doupt as to the importance he placed upon it. Tn his personal memoirs, describing the movements at the crossing of Lookout creek and ascent of the noun tain, he wrote: '"The side of Lookout mountain confronting Hooker was rugged, heavily umbered and full of chasms making it difficult to advance with troops even in the absence of an opposing force. < While the op- ], erations at the bridge were progressing Geary was pushing up the hill over great obstacles, resisted by the enemy directly in his front and in the face of the guns on top of the mountain. By noon Geary had gained the open ground on the north slope of the mountain, with his right close up to the base of the upper palisade, but there were strong fortifcations on his front. The day was hay, so that Rockers operations were not visi- ble to us Gin the valley at Chattanooga except at moments when the clouds would rise. But the sound of his arHl- lery and musketry was heard inces- sanity. The enemy on his front was partly fortified, but was soon driven out of his works. During the afternoon the clouds which had so obscured the i. top of Lookout mountain all day as to hide whatever was going on from view of those below settled down and made it so dark where Hooker was as to stop operations for the time. At 4 o'clock Hooker reported his position impregnable. By little after 5 o'clock direct communication was established, and a brigade of troops was sent across from Cha nooga to re-enforce him.'
 Commenting on the result, Grant said: Why any troops {Confederatel except artillery, with a small guard of infantry, were kept on the mountain top I do not see. A hundred men could have held the summit, which is palisade for more than thirty feet down, against the assault of any num- Der of men from the position Hooker occupied
 Grants dispatches that night to Washington gave the particulars of Rockers fighting" and next day Lin coin congratulated the army on its suc- cess Enthusiastically Hooker won great victory victory all the more glo- rious that it was not bought at the ex- pense of great human slaughter,

MAcRRADYss QUICK WHIT.

&
 Joseph Jefferson in lecture on the drama, told the students of an incident showing the rare presence of mind of William Charles Macready. According to Mir. Jefferson, he got the story from an old man who saw Macready far back in the forties.
 In shipboard scene the actor paced the deck. while the canvas represent ing the sea was kept in motion by the walking beneath of men with half bent bodies. The cloth had been worn to thinness by dint of much use. When Macready came to the most impas- stoned part of his monologue. and the waves were rising higher and higher, the audience. was astounded to see a .red head pop up through the crest of a wave. The actor saw it. too, and for moment he looked as if he were dis concerted; but it was only for nom ent. Raising his voice he shouted:
 Man overboard.n
 And this made the people cheer and praise Macready all the more.

ovERcRowDED LONDON,
A Protest Against Free Trade in Pau
 pers and Criminals.

pcES anu Sllu4lLdAcs
 Some of the facts revealed by the in- quiry, notably in regard to overcroWd- ing in the east end of London. are truly awful The overcrowding is such that, in the words of the commissions CTS, 'Shealth. cleanliness, decency, even morality, must necessarily be sacri- feed" Thus between 1881 and 1901 the population of steppeE which was already excessive, increased nearly 10000 through alien immigration, with out counting the children of alien par ents. while in the same period the number of houses has absolutely de creased by about 4.000. The horrors of such overcrowding do not need dwelling on.
 Again. with regard to crime, the re- port states that in 1899 the number of alien habitual criminals was 231; in 1902 it had risen to 4O9. At the Oct tober Clerkenwell sessions last year, one prisoner in every five was an alien; and in proportion to population, in three years there were twice as many aliens as natives sentenced to imprisonment in England and Wales. The loss in money to business men during the same period through the fradulent bankruptcies of aliens has al- so amounted to the substantial sum of a million and quarter sterling
 Altogether, it is pretty obvious that something must be done. and that quickly; to put stop to free trade in paupers and criminals, to whatever country they may belong. We shall simply be following in the footsteps of all civilized nations in taking re- strictive measures, including our own colonies The fact can no longer be ignored that our population is already amply large enough for the space it has to live in, and we cannot afford to look calmly on while the underpaid, underfed foreigner is continuously dis placing the native worker-London Free Lance

Makers of Horse Guard Uniforms Had
 to Send Abroad
 A very fine quality of white mole skin is being used in the brooches for the new uniforms of the First company, Governors Horse Guard, and the man ufacturers, a New York firm, unable to ind enough of the material in this country, were obliged to send abroad for it. This explains the delay in the delivery of the suits. They are expect ed soon and the members of the com pany are quite anxious to see them. They are very similar to the uniforms worn by a part of the Honorable Ar ttllery company of London. which was recently in this country. Captain Jos eph E. Root. surgeon of the company remarked upon this when he saw the London company in Providence
 The new uniforms are to cost about $50 each and the uniforms of the otf1- eers will cost S5 more. as they will have shoulder knots of gold cord col lar devices in gold embroidery, and the baldric will be covered with solid gold lace. The new busbies are of the hussar pattern, corded with black fur and candy yellow. There will be an embroidered monogram on black velvet showing the initials of the company and the figure ''I' with crossed sabers under the. ornament The bushy will be surmounted with an upright plume of black horse hair.
 The tunic is to be of dark blue cloth with heavy black hrocade across the breast and with black olives and netted buttons. The white moleskin brooches will be similar to those worn by the Second company. Governors Foot Guard. The baldric and box will he of black enameled leather with gilt metal mountings and the gilt mono gram, "G. H. G." The leggins will be of black enameled leather with square tops and a slight curve.
