ARMY MANEUVER DETAILS.
Blues and Browns to Play War Game
ON Bull Run Battlefield.

ON Bull Run Battlefield.
The details of the autumn army ma
neuvers to take place over the Bull
Run battlefield at Manassas We're set
tied the other day, says the New York
Tribune.
In the first problem n army Ito be
known as the Blue army has it's base
on the Potomac at Washington. 1t is
proceeding westward against a Brown
army, operating toward Washington
from the Shenandoah valley. The
| leading corps of the Blues consists of
two divisions. a real II being at Ma
nassas and the other, an imaginary one,
at Fairfax Court House. The imag-
mary division is supposed to be pre-
pairing to move forward from Alexan-
! dria. The Brown army is similarly di-
vided. the real division being at Thor
oughfare and the imaginary n sup
posed to be at Front Royal. The rest
of the Browns are at Strasburg, pre-
pared to advance.
This is the general situation Of the
opposing armies at the beginning o.
the maneuvers. The rest of the prob
lem concerns itself with the attack
by the Blues and the efforts of the
Brown commander to make his dis
positions with q view of holding his
own against the actual divisions and
re-enforcements.
The second series of maneuvers is
the operation of the Blue army, as.
sembled at Washington. against the
Browns. operating from the Shenan-
doah. The Blue commander is to take
up a defensive position to .repel the
attack Of the Browns, who are assist
ed by heavy re-enforcements, which he
knows are in their rear. The Browns
are to attic without delay to pre-
vent the union Of the main body OF
the Blues before its re-enforcements
arrive, trusting, to the attack Of its first
(reaD division to hold the Blue divi'
sion until supported by the Brown re
endorsements. The problem for the
Blues is to resist the Browns, know
ing that the enemy's re-enforcements
are rapidly approaching. This will pre-
rent the Blues from ynaking counter
offensive fanking movements. The
Brown commander must attack as
soon as possible, knowing that his re
endorsements will arrive first, which
gives him opportunity for more ex:
tensive offensive movements.
In the first maneuvers the railroad
from Front Royal to Manassas is sup
posed to be demolished and not avail
able to the Browns. In the second
set the railroad from the south is also
supposed to be cut out of service. Thu
umpire will suspend operations
promptly at 3 p. M. each day, whe1
the casualties will be computed ant
deducted from each side.

you will slice and mix with two small
chopped or sliced onions and a little
chopped parsley. Mix with a French
dressing and pour into the salad the
fried bacon, fat and all. Toss thor
oughly and serve on lettuce leaves.

Gu. Life Buoy. For Boats.

Some of Chicago's passenger steam
ers are to he supplied with gas life
buoys to rescue those who fall over
board at night, says the Chicago Trib-
une. The buoy, above which will burn
a brilliant gas jet for a considerable
time, is lighted as soon as it strikes
the water. Extended tests of the buoys
made by officials of the Goodrich line
have proved satisfactory. Sailors and
passengers falling from steamers IN
the nighttime, although in many cases
able swimmers, have almost always
persisted through inability to find life
preservers cast overheard for their
use.

Care Of stair Carpet.

When buying a stair carpet get an
extra yard and fold it in at each end.
This extra length will enable you to
shift the carpet sometimes higher,
sometimes lower, and SO wear evenly.
II this precaution be not taken the
edges of stairs will be worn out while
the untrodden part remains quite fresh
and new looking. Will some one try It
and report?

Cleaning Brass.

To clean brass nothing is better than
the old fashioned plan of rubbing first
with a paste made of powdered bath
brick and parafin and then with dry
powdered bath brick. A mixture OF
lemon juice and powdered chalk used
in the same way is also excellent.

when he returned to the surface the
box was carefully raised and towed to

DRANK POISON

Desperate Acf Of a Lot0ysr TO
Save His Client From
Conyicfion.

Brigadier General Leonard w. Colby
of the Nebraska militia has figured in
the public eye on several occasions. He
Is .inordinately fond Of show. Many
years ago he bought the white Arabian
stallion which was presented to Gen
eral Grant by the sultan of Turkey.
This SPREAD his fame abroad through
out the land, and the horse became the
which Colby took part, and he missed
few west of the Missouri river.
But Colby's greatest claim to notorf-
ETY. rests on the fact that he is proba-
bly, the only lawyer who ever swal-
lowed deadly poison In order to obtain
a clients acquittal. AT this time he
was struggling lawyer in Beatrice,
Neb. He was called upon to defend a
woman accused Of killing her husband
by poisoning him with arsenic. The
evidence was practically conclusive,
and there was hardly flaw In the
case presented by the prosecution. The
husbands body had been exhumed, the
poison found and placed in bottle.
There was indubitable proof that the
woman had administered the poison.
and General Colby did not contest this
point. He merely laid stress on the
contention that the man had died from
natural causes and that the poison
found in his stomach was not suffi-
o{o Co h &c nvNf 10 mint
however, his expert testimony was
rather weak, and he had to impress the
jury by some other method.
Colby's office was in building ad-
Joining the courthouse. When he en-
tered the courthouse after the noon re-
cess to make his argument for the de-
tense, he appeared little bit more
nervous than usual but this was at
tributed to the high strung tempera-
ment that seems characteristic of the
born orator His speech was eloquent
and the peroration dramatic.
Gentlemen of the jury" he said in
summing up, IL contend that the poison
my client Is said to have administered
to her husband was not enough to kill
any man, to say nothing of one possess
Ing his constitution. He died from
some other cause. II that poison would
have killed him, it would kill me-"
He picked up the bottle OF poison
from the table before him.
There is not enough poison there to

there is not enough to kill man."

pulled out the cork. threw back ! il

stood before the jury. his black eyes

With parting bow to the judge and
