with rush, to the stable, in his hope,
less quest. The mistress Of the
household Sas permitted to return to
her dwelling, but the company camp
ed around the stable. Graham thus
had chance Of escape. He sought
to thank the girl, but she received his
elusive declarations shrinkingly and
only besought him never to mention
how he had escaped.
After the shades of night had
spread their protective veil over the
earth, Graham emerged from the man
sion where death he'd knocked at his
door twice, without admittancc, and
was soon in the saddle to find a camp
Of Confedcrates.
Capt. BENZ. Newson was in the
neighborhood with fifty or sixty reso
Lutte followers in his lair in the Jun
giles fringing Obian River.
At sunset Graham reached the
camp and set in motion the patriotic
tide that poured through cold Ben
dauutless heart.
Fifty men marched Cor Jackson that
night, and in the wee hours of the
morning, before the cock announ ced
the coming day, they captured all Of
the hundred and twenty-five gentle
men in blue from Paducah, without
firiug a gun.
With that thoughtlessness which
unfortunately too often is the accom-
paniment Of great physical courage,
young Graham approached the Yam
kee lieutenant with that afable smile

served: "My name is Graham. [ am

Hid In The Branches.

To tho Editor of the News and
Courier Your correspondent read
with great deal of interest the ac-
count given by Nir. James of the cap
ture of the flag of the 9Th South Car
olina regiment, when most Of the reg.
iment was captured. A few years ago
the late Mr.. w. w. Moore, of Wedge
field, gave your correspondent the
samo account, but said that he escap-
ed when his comrades were made pris.
oners, and said that he thought that
he was the only member of the COM
pany present who did escape. Mr..
Moore said that when he saw tie enc
my advancing from the front and
rear he looked around to see if there
was not something that he could do,
and he saw small tree, with very
thick branches, short distance off in
the woods, SO he dropped his gun and
ran to that tree and scram lied up and
hid among the branche before the
Yankees got there. He sat up there
very much afraid that he would be
seen, and saw the other men surren-
der, and when they had been carried
off he came down and picked out the
brightest gun he could find among
number that had been left on the
ground. The gun had belonged to
friend, who took great pride in keep
ing it bright and clean.
Mr.. Moore carried it to the end of
the war, while the owner languished
in Northern prison.
Mr.. Moore was native Of North
Carolina but had lived in South Car
olinn long time. He was very re-.
liable man and q most devoted and
successful farmer, and one day he was
speaking about how much more pros.
porous the North was than the South.
He said that he believed it was be.

ticularly struck with this on marching
through Pennsylvania on the road to

But what struck your correspondent
most forcibly was the different treat

from United Stntes soldiers. All who
remember anything about it Enow that
all of the wheat, cr cradles, that
could have been used would have been
carried off, and the rest destroyed,

Your correspondent hopes that the

I D. m. on January &c. after a desperate
fight. occupied the village of Sandepas,
which had been strongly fortified by
the Japanese. and captured 200 cattle
Supplementing the foregoing, Gen.
Kuropatkin says:
From later reports it appears that
in capturing these positions we made
prisoners of 100 Japanese. We also
occupied the village of Weheitaitse, on
the Hun river, losing 80 men. On Jan

Our force then attacked Sandepas, and
at D. M, after a desperate fight, with

Shakhe and repulsed Japanese attempts
to retake them"
The Japanese began the fight, cross
ing the Hun and attempting to break
the Russian right. The cars troops
repulsed this assault and pressed for
ward so vigorously in pursuit that the
village of Sandepas, within the former
Japanese lines and point of much
strategical importance, fell into their
han,ls, as did number of Japanese
cannon.

CONCERT BY THE LONGY CLUB.
CHAMBER MUSIC PLAYED BY
WIND INSTRUMENTS.

Boston Artists Heard to Advantage at
MendelssOhn Hall-Bessie ABBOTT Sings
Again With the Symphony Orchestra
Tho Fionzaley quartet Performs.
When the Longy Club is at home it Is
the first and second flute, the two oboes,
the two bassoons and two OF the horns
Of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. When
it associates itself from that august body
its mission is the performance OF wind
instrument chamber music, OF which not
a great deal Is heard In this opera stricken
town. The Longy Club gave a concert
here on March 8. 1904, and established a
record for technical skill and artistic taste.
It came to town again yesterday and was
heard last evening in Mendelssohn Hall.
The programme consisted Of Beethoven's
quintet, opus 10, for piano, oboe, clarinet,
horn and bassoon Gabriel Faure's noe
turne In Z fiat for flute, two oboes, two
olarinets, two horns and two bassoons;
Lefebvre's intermezzo scherzando for flute.
oboe, two clarinets, horn and bassoon;
two movements of Mozart's B fat concerto
for oboe, and Rats sinfonietta for two
flutes, two clarlnets, two oboes, two bas-
soons and two horns.
OF course the constant obstacle in the
way Of enjoying a whole evening Of wind
instrument music is the tendency OF the
tonal color to become monotonous. This
was avoided last night by the skill with
which the programme was made. The
contrast afforded in the first number by
the piano with the other Instruments and
with that number by the modern method
of Instrumentation employed by the two
French composers represented on the iet,
as well as the amazing resources OF tlntlng
possessed by Mr.. Longy and revealed IN his
oboe solo. made up color scheme to winch
there could be no objection.
The Beethoven composition performed
by the Longy Club Ia not one OF the mighty
masters great works. Not everything
written by Beethoven was important,
and this composition Is one OF those which
we are accustomed to treat with respeot
simply because of the famous name signed
to it. The name acquired It's Value alter
this music was conceived.
Beethoven himself was not satisfied
with 1t In its original form and rewrote It
as q string quartet, numbered opus 20
1t was worth hearing, however, for the
works Of a great man, even when unin-
portant in themselves, are never without
an historical interest. 1t was capitally
pla yed.
The two pieces by French composers
displayed admirable technio in the treat
ment Of the instrumental voices, and the
first of the two added considerable in
trinsio musical charm to the treatment;
Taken as a whole this concert, was well
worth attention. 1t Is pity that in the
cannot have more Of this kind of entertain
ment, for it is certainly a relief at times
to break away from the beaten paths and
adventure into the byways, where the
masters exercised their !ancies in fireside
musings.

pear ss the Soloists.
For the first time this season Walter
DamroSch last night made change in the
programme Of the evening concert Of the
New York Symphony Society. 1t has been
his custom to repeat on Tuesday evening
the programme performed on Sunday
afternoon. The list offered last night was
Beethoven's overture "Leonore, No. s.
the air "Gli angui dinferno, sung by Bessie
ABBOTT; Cesar Franck's symphonic varia-
tions for piano with orchestra, with Raoul
Pugno at the piano; three songs with piano
accompaniment by Miss ABBOTT (the same
ones she sang on Sunday and Tschai-
kowsky's Symphonic Pathetique."
There was a large audience, and the
whole programme was heard with ap-
parent interest. The singing of Miss
A OFT was applauded, but no demand was
made upon her for encore numbers. Mr..
Pugno was again devoted propagandist
Of French music and in the composition
Of Cesar Franck he had something worthy
Of his art. Mr.. Damrosch had evidently
prepared the Tschaikowsky music with
care, and he gave the symphony a swing
Ing, vigorous reading, which might perhaps
have been improved by little more articu-
lation and more liberal fnesse In the de-
tails. But the performance had tonal
splendor and the orchestra acquitted itself
with high credit.

BURR M'INTOSH LECTURES.
Talks and Shows Colored Views or Tarts
Trip to tho Orient.

Burr Mcintosh made his New York debut
as lecturer yesterday afternoon at Daly's

board, historic spots around Honolulu,
the enthusiastic welcomes in Yokohama

first photograph of this famous scene ever
made.
The Philippine pictures began with views
of Manila, 1loilo and Bacolod. The scenes
in Zamboango, where Gen. Wood makes
his headquarters, and where the first Of
the world famed savage Moros were seen,
made the strongest impression, however.
Next Friday afternoon Mr.. Mcintosh
continues the journey, beginning in Jolo,
the home Of the Sultan Of Sulu, where many
photographs which have never before been
made viii be shown, including one Of the
famous Sultan of Sulu and 1900 Of his
countrynen. More views Of Manila will be
followed by scenes in Hongkong, Canton,
Shanghai, Pekin and on the return visit to
Yokohama.
