landings must be captured and their guards supplanted by boys in blue or the crossing of solid masses of troops with their guns would be attended with horrible slaughter. Soon after midnight the morning of the 24th a hundred pontoon boats slipped out of their hid ing and dropped down the Tennessee opposite Sherman's bivouac. Silently and swiftly, without a loud word or rustic of accouterments, thirty armed men filed into each boat and the fo- tilla roWed to the southern shore. The men in the leading boats quickly made a landing and marched down inside the Confederate picket lines, capturing the soldiers on the outlook and soaring the others into flight. ....-...
 With the river front cleared of pry- ing eyes and still more dangerous rifles the boats lined up along shore, and 5000 men, spade in one hand and mus ket in the other, advanced few rods through the thicket and began to in- trench the landing. Throughout the night the boats piled back and forth, aided by a steamer, and in the morn ing the Confederates were astounded to see a line of breastworks a mile long filled with Yankees on the south bank of the river below Chattanooga.
 At the dawn of day the troops on shore began chasing the outposts away from the low foothills of the ridge, and while this kept the attention of the enemy a bridge was laid, and Sher- mans whole army crossed over. A drizzling rain was falling, and the clouds were so low that the scene of Shermans operations in the valley was invisible to the enemy on the ridge Sherman's men could not see the crests of the ridge and were astonished to find on climbing the first elevation in front that it was only foothill of the mountain. A division climbed to the crest, dragging guns up by hand. A farmer came out to protest against the invasion of his land, and the men were tempted into a cheer for the old mans eloquent harangue. This brought down the fire of Confederate battery hid den by the mist A shell scared the farmer away, and the cannonading scattered the clouds, revealing to the boys in blue that they would have a long road to travel to reach Mission ridge
 Day dawned clear on the 25th, and then the dangers of Sherman's posi- ton were made plain. A wide valley separated the hill he had captured from the end of Mission ridge. A road led down from the enemy's lines into the valley, and railroad tunnel, cut ting through the ridge, provided per feet covered way for the marching of troops out of reach of hostile fire. Dur ing the night Sherman had massed troops for an early assault on every thing in front, and at sunrise one di- vision marched to the sound of the bugle, while crash of musketry along the whole ridge greeted the charging

 ~ HERMAN opened the combat at > Mission ridge Nov. 24, 1863.
 while Fighting Joe" Hooker
 was battling above the clouds on Lookout mountain. Had the battle on the Federal side fallen out as plan ned by Grant his favorite lieutenant would have come in for the chief hon. OTIS of the field.
 The task laid out for Sherman was to turn the right flank of Bragg's Confed- crate army on Mission ridge and strike the roads behind the ridge so as to cut off the enemy's supplies. If successful it would be a finishing blow to the Con- federates at Chattanooga. For weeks Bragg had been fortifying the ridge. To him it seemed impregnable, and his enemy much preferred the prospect of marching around it, with some fight ing, to going against it direct.
 Bragg's main( line was two miles in length. Hooker, on Lookout mountain, was pounding at the Confederate left flank, and sturdy old Thomas, with the Army of the Cumberland, faced the guns and breastworks in the center. As Grant planned the attack Sherman and Hooker would march entirely around Bragg and join forces in his rear, while Thomas merely kept up show of strength in the center.
 When Sherman started in to take up his end of the attack the Tennessee river rolled between his troops and the enemy. The whole region was under the guns on the ridge and the landing places on the southern bank defended by strong Confederate guards. These

line. Instantly Bragg saw what Sher- man was aiming for If he carried Tunnel hill he could pass up the valley on the line of the railroad to the sta- ton where the Confederate supplies were stored. Salvation for the Confed- crates on Mission ridge lay in piling everything at hand upon Sherman. All night long the Federals had heard the sound of hauling guns into position on the ridge, and wherever moving troops could be seen in the morning light they were marching to head off Sherman.
 The assailants were checked in their ascent at a ridge just below the Con- federate breastworks. As the brow of the ridge hid them from the range of muskets fired from above, the men in the breastworks threw heavy stones down among them. In front of Maney's Tennessee brigade Sherman's men crawled up to within fifteen paces. With the Tennesseeans were three Ma poleon guns, captured by them at Per ryyille the year before. These pieces were silenced by the terrible fire poured in by Sherman's men. The spokes of the cannon wheels, musket stocks, swabstaffs, fagstaffs - anything large enough to catch a bullet was splintered.
 In expectation of a final dash by Sherman's line the Napoleons had been double shotted with canister. The Fed eral brigade of J. E. Smith lay in front close to the Tennesseeans' breastworks Suddenly the Confederate soldiers took it into their heads to end the deadlock there on Tunnel hill, and three com panies of the First Tennessee, acting on their own hook, leaped over the

HAVE YOU SEEN HER?
The Mysterious Girl With the Auburn
 Hair

The men of Waterbury, or rather the married men of Waterbury, are face to face with an important proposition. Their wives are asking them at home the question that is staring them in the face everywhere they go about town: "Have you seen the girl with the auburn hair?'' One person thought the posters had reference to some girl that had some sort of connection With the Elks' bazaar, possibly the one that was to do the drawing for the $1OO0 prize, while others have given up in despair any attempt to solve the mystery. Pos sibly Waterbury is in the same boat with other cities that have been wrest- ling with the same mystery; so the husbands who are haggled with the question needn't think themselves sin gled out for special persecution. Mean while. however, the married men are beginning to ask each other: Have you seen the girl with the auburn hair?"

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

The Juggling Johnsons continued their success at the Jacques yesterday, and already their unique Indian club novelty is being talked of about town as one of the most attractive and sen sa tional that Manager Poli has yet provided for our amusement. One wonders in watching them manipulate the clubs if they are altogether human, so marvelously intricate and compH- cated are most of their movements. It is an art that every lover of novelty should see. Another fine act is that of Hal Stephens with his artistic imper sonations and his splendidly conceived synopsis of "Rip Van Wrinkle" which seems to give the play in it's entirety. Others on the bill are Harris and Wal ters. Laura Comstock and her singing boys, Pierce and .haizee. John Mayon and company, Mosher's dogs and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, la dies 10.

Tomorrow afternon and evening the New England comedy drama, Uncle Josh Spruceby," will be played at Polls. This charming play Is a series of pictures of New England life on the farm, and the troubles of Uncle Josh in making visit. to New York are incidentally touched upon. The characters are all taken from Yer mont rural life and are true to nature, the play containing a mixture of pathos and humor. Special scenery is used to mount the different scenes, and the great sawmill scene in use in this production is a most realistic piece of stage mechanism. Twenty people are in the company. In the cities visited this season the press are lavish in their praise of the production. Many new and catchy spe6alties are present ed. A solo operatic orchestra and big band are the musical features. A big parade is given at noon daily ana the concert of popular music rendered by the band is very popular and at tracts large crowds.

Theatrical
 Fraternal
"AIAUD MULLER"

A good sized and highly appreciative audience are enjoying 'Maud Muller" the dramatized version of Whittier's familiar poem, this afternoon at Polls, and there ought to be many there when the play is repeated this evening. The characters in the drama are capi
 tally conceived, and afford strong op
 portunity for dramatic portrayal. In plainer language, they afford capable actors and actresses a chance to demon strate their capability. Besides those referred to there is sturdy old farmer Muller, suggesting perhaps an Ameri- can DunStan Kirke, and an equally marked character portrayal, Mrs Mul- Ter, the farmers spouse, a lady who is always assuring you, 'I told you so!' The pert little country lass, Hetty Beane who though a little jealous of Maud, proves true gold; the haughtyI sister of the judge, Theodora Wayne, who may fairly claim to the the au- thor of the drama, as it is her schemin
 that furnishes the plot, and John True man. who has had European travel, and looks askance at his own country, but in the end converts Theodora, and brings the woes of Judge Wayne and little Maud Muller to a happy termina- ton. Miss Augusta True, an actress of excellent parts. has the title role. and she is supported by a very good company. Prices are 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents.

Alatau r. Atkinson, superintendent
Public instruction.
Dear Sir: l am just in receipt of your
request for an authoritative opinion
from myself as President of the Board
Of Health as to how your Department
should act in the present epidemic of
dengue.
The disease generally appears in epi-
denies and is almost exclusively con-
fined to tropical and semi-tropical
countries.
Dengue is an acute disease, consider
ed by those who have had opportunities
Of studying it, as both contagious and
infectious, a general inference being
that it depends on specific germ. 1t
is characized by febrile paroxysms,
pains in joints and muscles and gem
orally a cutaneous RASH
L shall not take the time to go into
The etiology, pathology symptoms and
course of the disease. 1t is said to be
seldom if ever fatal, therefore no OBJ
servations have been made upon it's
pathological anatomy. AS to dia-
gnosis there can seldom be any diff
Guilty when an epidemic exists, after the
occurrence of the first cases.
Granting that it is both an infectious
and contagious disease, from the favor
able prognosis and results. should not
deem 1t necessary in the interest of
public health to allow it to interfere
with the public conduct of the public
schools.
Parents should isolate their children
suffering from the malady and when
that is done the danger of conveying
the disease to others is minmzed if
not altogether effective.
1t appears to me that unless the cpl
demic assumes alarming proportions
excluding children who have been in
contact with the disease or the closing
of the public schools would create
feeling of universal disquietude that is
altogether unwarranted by the usual
favorable termination of the disease.
Faithfully yours,
c. B. COOPER,
President of the Board of Health.

.DENCUE FEVER
AND THE SCHOOLS
THE DISEASE NOT SERIOUS
ENOUGH TO WARRANT CLOSING
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

President Cooper of the Board OF
Health yesterday replied to Superinten-
dent A. T. Atkinson's inquiries regard
ing the closing of the public schools
on account of dengue fever Dr. Cooper
does not think the sickness serious
enough to warrant such measures. The
correspondence between Supsrt1ten lent
Atkinson and Dr. Cooper was as fol-
lows:
Honolulu January 2S, 1908.
c. b. Cooper ESQ, NJ. D., President of
the Board of Health.
Dear ST:--In view of some anxiety
expressed about the present epidemic Of
fever, variously spoken of as dengue
or breakbone fever, l should like an
authoritative opinion from yourself as
to how this Department should act.
On Monday at my request DR. Rod
gers and Principal Scott consulted with
Executive officer Pratt, and laid the
matter before him. His reply was that
he did not consider il necessary to eX-
clude children from school when there
are cases of the disease in the same
house.
1 have also consulted several physi-
clans in general practice, and the con-
sensus of their opinions has been that
there is no danger.
l am anxious to protect the school
children but want to avoid causing an
unnecessary alarm. If you will kindly
give me authoritative advice or ruling
upon the mater 1 shall be obliged.
Yours faithfully,
ALATAU Il. ATKINSON,
Supt. Public instruction.
