A STORY OF FITZ LEE.
A Darkey's Ready Reply Which
Turned the Laugh.

GNIN iiii'LlN. lttLNE i/tEE'NsNN'i-
We find the following in an cx-

Gov. Chandler OF Georgia were to-

When Gen. Robert E. Lee was fight
ing Grant in the last days" an old
darkey besieged headquarters with re-
quests to see "the gin'ral.". He was
turned away a dozen times. But one
day he succeeded in reaching the
guard Immediately in front OF Gen.
Lees tent. and almost got in the tent
itself gefore he was stopped. The al
te7cation which followed was over
heard by Gen. Lee who called out:
Let that man come in Then into
the tent came the fellow. rawboned,
stambling, gray-headed, gnarled old
darkey, who scraped the ground with
his foot and kept turning his hat
around nervously in his hand.

rails"
That does not sound like" Gen.
Robert E. Lee. We doubt if Gen.
Gordon has been correctly quoted.
Ii he has been. he has gotten old
Gen Lee mixed up with Fitz Lee.
The story as it has been always
told in Virginia is as follows. When
Fitz Lee was making his canvass for
governor. and when upon platform
at public meeting in one Of the
counties near I-ynchburg, he was told
that an old colored man wished to
come up and shake hands with him.
He said: "All right; let him come"
and the old darkey was soon after
wards brought forward and INTRO
duced to him.
Old Uncle Ben, for that was his
name, said to Fitz' Lee that he had
been in the Confederate army from
first to last, with his (Ben's) young
m-,ter. The general asked him to
what command his master belonged.
Uncle Ben replied: "Longstreets.
The general then suggested to Ben
that he had probably seen some hard
fighting. Uncle Ben said, he had
been in many battles. "And which
do you think was the hottest one"
he was asked by Fitz Lee. Why"
responded Uncle Ben, "Gettysburg
was by long odds the wust I ever
seen,' and he added. 4 tell YOU the
truth, gin'ral; at Gettysburg ! run
ned like dog" Where did you run
to-" inquired Fitz Lee. Il ran 10 the
safest place I could find said the
old fellow. And where was, that:
said his good-humored questione-.
Il runned to where the gin'rals were,
promptly responded the old man.
This ready response-this unin-
tended joke on the generals-brought
forth a peal of laughter from Fitz
Lee and the crowd of people around
him The story was often repreated
as one OF the incidents OF that cam
paign. Gen. Fitz Lee himself was
delighted to tell it and to give Uncle
Ben credit for his sagacity in seek
ing a place OF refuge on the field OF
battle.

CHILDREN'S FEET FROZEN
Pitiable Condition of Hard Drink
 CTS Reelected Family.

New Haven, Feb. 12.-With six members living in one squalid room and with two of the children suffering from frozen feet, the family of Harry Hoffman, a tailor living in the rear of 4S9 Columbus avenue, again came to the attention of the charitable au- thorities yesterday. A drinking husband and shiftless wife are the cause of the family's miserable condition.
 Agent Preston says that the family was shipped here about two years ago by the Philadelphia authorities. who got tired of lending the helping hand. Since they have been here they have received aid from the Hebrew Benevo- lent society and the city, which has been repeatedly dissipated. Only last week they were given $15 worth of food and clothing, yet this morning came the report of the children's froz- en feet and the family's general des- titution. 4 physician was sent to at tend the children.
 "The children have no chance of q proper bringing up," said Mir Preston to-day, "and they will probably be taken now and put ill the county home The wife is not we'll and will be sent to the hospital. The husband ought to and probably will be sent to jail for non-support.

RECOVERY IS RETARDED.
Dr. Tracy's Opinion Given in Case
 Against Company.

Bridgeport, Feb. 12.-Dr William I Tracy, of Norwalk, is of the opinion that the injury people receive in ac. cidents, is considerably retarded in re covery by the fact that there is a dam age suit on in the courts against big corporatiop.
 "I have not the slightest doubt about it, said the doctor yesterday ; morning in the civil common pleas court, while under cross examination by Judge Elmore $. Banks, counsel for the plaintiff if the action is brought by Mrs Nellie EIwood, of Westport, against the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company Continuing the doctor said with ref erence to Mrs Elwood: T think there will be complete recovery soon after this case is settled''
 Do you think there would be rap i'd recovery after case has been as long as this one?"
 ''Yes, l have seen others much longer than this.'' said the doctor
 Mrs Elwood was riding on car in Westport in. May, 1902. She started to leave the car and was thrown to the ground. She claims that the car started before she got off. As the re- suit of her fall, she says she was badly hurt and was unable to follow her occupation as dressmaker.

Continues to Amuse Crowds of People .. .N at the City Hafi.

Zingarella, the wondered aerial artist, continues to electrify the large crowds which are attending the grand military carnival of Company c in tho i City hall, with her spectacular act. This young lady is clever performer [ and has marvellous act. To hear about it person would probably not believe it possible. In order to be con- yinced the person must witness the act. Then his credulity gives place to surprise, astenishment and wonder. This one act alone is well worth the price of admission. This is the first time that Zingarella has appeared out side of New York and Boston. The management of the carnival had to pay large sum of money for her ap- pearance in this city for one week only.
 One of the largest crowds of the week was present last night and rushing business was done. As on the previous nights, Krao was the exposure of all eyes. She held reception throughout the evening. This strange freak from the wilds of Siam is of more than average intelligence. e..e has visited all the countries of the world. She can converse in several languagesi
 The DO0fh where lTalafea, the young lady who is changed into a statue. Is on exhibition also commands much at tention. This act is becoming more and more attractive as the carnival progresses.
