'em, and that's purity hard to do with
them fellers down our way"
But how was it done?" | asked, for
there was that about the battered face,
kindly eyes and firm mouth that inter
ested me greatly.
"Wa'al, you see, this is how it was"
said Virgins, as he slipped quid Of
tobacco from his mouth into his hand,
with an economical view to future use:
There was right smart squad of we
uns, just 43, and we struck the enemy's
picket, unexpected like, bout an hour
after midnight. The confeds heard us,
and one of 'em hollered out, 'Halloi
what goes thar?' Afore any of our folks
could answer, whispered to 'em, Hold
hard! I've come prepared for this. We
must play sheep. All of you drop down
on all four, and let me do the baaing and
play bell-wether. Wa'al, L had sheep
bell along, and as soon as the boys saw
what was up to they fell into the dodge
at once.
"'Who goes thar feller hollered
again. Wa'al, I began to baa and to
ring that ar bell in way that'd done
a wether's heart good to hear and
stole lambs from their own mother.
"'Orly sheep 1 heard some one say,
as we got up from all four and scooted
up the hill
That's all there is of it, stranger,
only the ole bell and my baaing helped
us through more than once. But don't
intend to try it at night nigh whar the
Yankee boys is, for l understan they're
powerful fond of muffin"
And having said this. Virgins rang an
imaginary bell, and went down the camp
baaing in way that showed his powers
of imitation were as great as his cour-
age was cool and his wit sharp. This
man proved to be an excellent soldier.
He rose to the rank of captain, but the
name-to which he did not object-"the
old l-wether"-stuck to him till the
end of the war

KEPT THE BATTLE FLAG.
Confederate Soldier who Wouldn't
Surrender 1t Even to Com
mnnding officer.

Lewis S. Truitt died few weeks ago
in Abbeville, S. c. He was member of
the Nineteenth South Carolina regi-
ment, and was conspicuous for his brav-
cry in the battles around Atlanta, says
the Columbia Star of recent date.
In one of these battles he was the sew
enth man to take up the flag, six having
been killed or wounded within a short
while, and he advanced the standard to
the top of the enemy's earthworks in the
face of a CALLING artillery fire.
1t was at one time during the progress
of this battle that the confederate lines
were badly broken, and Gen. Stephen d.
Lee, riding up to Truitt, demanded the
colors, but Truitt refused to surrender
them.
Gen. Lee said to him: do you know
who / ann" The reply was: "Yes,
know you are Gen. Lee, but it is my duty
to carry the flag, and l will carry 1t
wherever you order, but you cannot
take It,"
Gen. Lee passed on to another regi-
ment and upon demanding the colors
they were delivered to him.
Several years ago, while Gen. Lee was
visiting this place. Mr., Truitt called on
him, and the incident just related being
mentioned Gen. Lee asked him: Were
you the man who gave me the flag or the
ore who did metz"
The answer being in the negative,
Gen. Lee replied: would to God there
had been 10000 more there just like you.
and a different story would have been
told of those fearful battles"

and ringing of bells, and soon the bells
of all the churches and schools and fac

in the deafening but joyous din.
The bell was guarded BY four mann

kirkus. of Bergen Point, read a letter of
personal nature which he had received
from DIR. Mann, in which the Orange
clergyman virtually said that the ques-
ton of his candidacy was in the control
of his friends. Several of those who had
supported DIR. Mann thought it would be
better if his name was not presented to
the convention. It developed that some
few were, still in favor of nominating
Rev. DIR. George McClelland Fiske. Some
of the clergy said they would write DR..
Mann and ask him to withdraw his name.
1t was said today however, that DR..
Mann would undoubtedly be placed in
nomination. but whether he will with
draw his name Immediately after it is
proposed is something which apparently
has not been settled.
There are three other clergymen who
are being considered with more or less
favor. Rev. DR.. Warrington, of Trinity
church, Cleveland. has several strong sup-
porters among high churchmen, Rev.
Charles Ely Colt. of Baltimore, also has
advocates among the clergy of that
school.
Friends of Rev. George Stephen Ben
nit, of Jersey tiCy, intend to nominate
him. He entered this diocese about the
same time that DR.. Mann became an
assistant to his uncle, Rev. DR.. Anthony
Schuyler, of Grace church, Orange,
whom he succeeded as rector. For many
years Mr.. Bennitt was president of Christ
Hospital Jersey City. He was deputy
to the last general convention. He is
president of the Diocesan Board of Mis-
sions, chairman of the committee on civ
il legislation. Mr.. Bennitt is classed with
the high church party, and was one of
the active supporters of Rev. DR.. George
McClelland Fiske at the special conyeu-
ton last January.

! DR.. BENNITT FOR
BISHOP.
Rector of Grace Church
Urged for Head Of the
Newark Diocese.
ELECTION THIS WEEK
The Rev. DR.. Alexander Mann
of Orange Another Lead
ing Candidate.
ELECTION THIS WEEK

The situation regarding the election of
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
church in the diocese of Newark has de-
yeloned peculiar complications, and it is
agreed that matters have evolved them
selves into problem of solution of which
no one seems to be able to foretell. The
fact that very strong sentiment has ex-
listed among the laymen in favor of the
election of Rev. DR.. Alexander Mann, of
Grace church, Orange, and that few
days ago it seemed as though his election
was more certain than the choice of any
one else has been changed by desire on
the part of some of DIR. Mann's strongest
supporters among the clergy TO forestall
any deadlock which might be brought on
by his candidacy. and especially to pre-
divide the diocese into discsrdant ele-
ments. There is general desire among
all classes to unite the diocese now, rath-
er than leave that to the future.
In the various conferences which have
. been held DR.. Mann as taken no part,
so his most intimate friends declare, and
he has refrained from discussing the
! question. As already told in the News
four conferences were held Monday. At
the laymen's conference in the Lawyers
Club, New York, the sentiment was prac-
tically unanimous for DR.. Mann.
At the conference held at the residence
of Rev. Frank B. Reazor, rector of ST.
Marks church, West Orange, the senti-
ment was in favor of Rev. DR. Edwin
Stevens Lines. of New Haven. Mr.. Rea-
zor nominated Rev. DIR. George McClel-
land Fiske, of Providence, at the special
convention last January. The second
choice at this conference was DR.. Faber,
of Lockport, with Rev. John P. Peters,
of St Michael's church, New York, third,
and Rev. DR.. Jacob Asbury Regester, Of
st. Paurs church. Buffalo, fourth.
DR.. Lines is an old-fashioned high
churchman and his friends have stated
that he would not accept the election of
bishop. 1t was said in New Haven this
week, according to a layman Of the dio-
cese who was visiting there, that DR..
Lines's friends would offer serious objec-
tion to his leaving the college town. Dr.
REGISTER is a high churchman, DR.. Pet
ers is said to be broad churchman,
while Or. Faber is a high churchman,
but former Presbyterian, having been
in the Episcopal church only about six
years.
The annual meeting of the Newark
Glorious, which is composed of priests of
the church in this diocese, was also held
Monday, but there was no discussion of
the great question of electing a bishop at
the meeting. But following adjournment
an informal discussion ensued, and it de-
veloped that DR.. Lines was apparently
the favorite of the clergy present al
though there were great many other
names considered. Rev. Frederick NJ.
