H0TcHKIsS GUN PLUNGED
MADLY ABOUT VESSEL
Only Prevented From Breaki,s
Through Revenue Cutters Side
by Heroic Efforts.

New York, Aug. 2o.-With big Hotchkiss
gun plunging from side to side and threat
enins to tear of her plates with every
lunge, there was quite bit Of excitement
on the revenue cutter Gresham while she
was on patrol duty for the yacht race.
But for the bravery Of the gunner and
members of the crew Of the cutter, the re-
suit might have been disastrous.
The gun weighed 1900 pounds and was In
transport. not constituting part Of the arm
ament Of the Gresham, but intended for one
of the other ocean-going revenue cutters.
1t had been dropped on the lower deck and
apparently nobody thought 1t worth while
to lash 1t securely.
The Gresham, which was the flagship for
the course patrol, was lying near the outer
mark, where heavy swell was running. At
almost went under water. 1t was amid this
rolling persons on board heard the crashing
down below and felt the tremors passing
heavy iron sides.
THAT Hotchkiss gun has broken loose
down below, and the captain says II you
don't want holes stove in the sides Of the
cutter you had better get your men down
there and tie It up
This was the startling message poured in
to the ear of the gunner excitedly by one
OF the crew.
The gunner made for the companionway.
As he ran he called to his assistance sew
eral Of the crew, telling them to bring lines.
With every roll of the cutter the big gun
went crashing to port or starboard, follow
ing the listing of the boat, threatening with
death anybody who got in its path.
men were kept busy lodging. Many times
they risked their lives in trying to fasten
the line and. encouraged by the brave ex-
ample set by the gunner, they persisted,
until finally they had the gun under control
and tied SO securely II could do no more
harm. The hands Of two men were injured
slightly in the struggle.
Talk about the man behind the gum"
said the leader. why. my men were behind
1t. in front Of It. on both sides Of 1t and at
times on top of 1t. On several occasions,
when the internal thing was plunging and
there was q rush to get clear. II was a case
of the gun behind the man. rather than one
of the men behind the gun"

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROL INA
Recommends Pe-rll-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia. Something to
Produce Artificial Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence. Pepsin. Pancreatin and Host
OF Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat
Of the Difficulty, Which is
Really Catarrh.

Tx. U. S. Senator M. G. Butler from
- South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, D. c., says:
"I can recommend Peruna for dys-
pepSia and stomach trouble. Ihave
been using your medicine for shOra
period ard feel very much relieved.
1t IS indeed q wonderful medicine be-
sides q good tonic. "---M. G. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. Itcures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies com
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat OF
bron chial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as III any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

SHERIDAN'S RIDE.
Another Description of 1t in Prose
by Man who Was There
at the Time.

George Phillips, New York police
man who does duty at the city hall, is
one of the last surviving eyewitnesses
of Sheridan's famous ride. He was
chief Wagonmaster in Sheridan's army
in the valley campaign, and he has
given account of the affair. 1t is be-
lieved to be thoroughly accurate, and
it is certainly forcible and dramatic.
Mr.. Phillips says:
Gen. Phil had gone up to Washing
ton for something, I don't know what,
leaving Gen. Wright in command. The
boys had little confidence in Wright,
but they loved Merritt and Custer.
Early and his rebs rushed our lines at
Cedar creek, 20 miles southwest of
Winchester. Sheridan in Washington
heard of it. He went out by the rail
road and crossed the Potomac at Stew
enson's landing. From there he hur-
ried on to Winchester, where he met
Wright, and from him obtained the
details of the fight. He left Wright in
Winchester and mounted the famous
black horse The horse was black, all
right, at least he was when he started
Il had parked my wagons at one
side Of the turnpike to give the horses
a rest We were on the run, no ques-
ton about that. That we were scoot-
ing for Harper's Ferry and the Mary
land side of the Potomac, and the rebs
were popping at us at every jump.
With my wagons parked and the
horses feeding and resting by the turn
pike | was watching the boys run.
Some were limping and staggering
along. They had thrown away their
guns and blankets and expected to be
killed or captured any minute. l never
saw anything else like it, the way the
boys were hoofing it to the Potomac
The entire army was beaten and de-
moralized. There was no order and
every man was trying to save himself.
1t was a cloudy, gloomy day and all
of us felt pretty blue. Suddenly we
heard terrible shouting and yelling
up the turnpike, Winchester way, and
minute later we saw Phil on his
black horse, coming down the road.
80, say! Lordy, lordy! Talk about
rides! The horse had been black, but
he was then covered with white foam
Phil was not waving any sword. He
had his old campaign hat in his hand.
He was covered with mud, but he kept
waving the old hat and yelling, Come
back, boys. Come back! To the front,
boys! Follow mel" His staff was

sandled in the presence of princes,
kings and emperOrs. Now his ear
caught the sound of martial music.
Bands were playing the same strains
which had mingled with the echoes of
his guns at Vicksburg, the same quick
step to which his men had sped in hot
haste in pursuit of Lee through Virginia.
And then came the heavy, measured
steps of moving columns, a step which
in the field. He recognized it all now.
1t was the tread of his Old veterans.
With his little remaining strength he
arose and dragged himself to the win
dow AS he gazed upon those battle
flags dipping to him in salute, those
precious standards, bullet-riddled, bat
tle-stained, but remnants of their for
mer selves, with scarcely enough of
them on which to print the names Of
the battles they had seen, his eyes once
more kindled with the flames which had
lighted them at Shiloh, on the heights of
Chattanooga, and amid the glories of
Appamattox.
AS those war-scarred veterans looked
with uncovered heads and upturned
faces for the last time upon the pallid
features of their old chief, cheeks which
had been brOnzed by southern suns and
begrimed with powder, were bathed in
tears of manly grief. Soon they saw
rising the hand which had so often
pointed out to them the path Of vic
tory. He raised it slowly and painful
ly to his head in recognition of their
salutations. The columns had passed,
the hand fell heavily by his side. 1t was
his last military salute
