During the civil war there were
1882 general engagements. battles
and skirmishes in which at least
one regiment was engaged on each
side and in more than go regiments
in each army the loss in killed and
wounded was from so to IS per
cent. of the members engaged.
The great battle of Waterloo de-
clded the fate and changed the
geography of all Europe. In that
battle Napoleon had $4,000 men
and 256 guns. Wellington. with
the allies, had 70, 600 med and over
200 guns. They lost on each side in
killed and wounded about $4,000
men, being percentage of loss from
20 to 80 per cent. Turn to the
great battle of Gettysburg and COM
pare it with the battle of Waterloo.
Gen. Meade had $4,000 men, with
the Sixth corps in reserve, with $50
guns. Gen. Lee had an army Of
$4,000 men, with 200 guns. The
lasses were $4,000 on each side in
tHk engagement, almost identical
With the losses at Waterloo.
The battle between the French
and Russians at Borodino was per-
hsrs the hiccdiest battle since the
invention of gunpowder; there were
10000 men killed on each side. But
as each army numbered over $780,
600, the per cent. of loss was less
than at Gettysburg and less than
at Waterloo. Take the great battle
at Leipzig, where Napoleon had
IT'S, 900 men, and where the allies
had on the first day 275,O00, in
creased creased On On the next day by reen-
forcements to 100000 There were
about 10000 killed on each side.
Yet the very largest number engag
ed in that battle made the per cent.
of loss very much less than at Get
tysburg or Waterloo.

A Good Ordinance.

The passage of the ordinance in
troduced in the General Council on
May % to abolish dance halls and
regulate the sale of liquor in Louis
vile, would do much to purge the
city of vice.
The evil influences of the dance
hall are many. They are too well
known to merit discussion. There
is no argument in favor OF the dance
hall except that it lie remunerative
to the proprietor. 1t is not an
amusement place in the proper
sense of that term, but merely a
rendezvous for the debauched OF
both sexes. Such places should by
all means be closed permanently.
The sale of liquors il connection
with theaters, especially theaters
which are open on Sunday, exerts
an influence similar to that of the
gdance hall in the Tenderloin.
I The provision which would com
pei ali saloons to close between the
hours of 1890 and 5 a. M, is in
every way reasonable and right.
The Times believes that the enact
ment OF such an ordinance would
do much to lessen crime of various
sorts, especially crimes of violence.
Close the dance halls, the dive
attachment totheaters, the all-night
saloons and let us have cleaner

Mr.. Csrnegie has not vet been able
TO make any serious decrease in his
principal. When he retired he took
first mortgage on the iron and
steel industry of the United States
for $500, 100000. This was not all
of his fortune. Out of the tremen-
dous profits of this business for
years, he must have accumulated
much valuable property, aside from
his steel mills. Much of this STA
100000 had been given before he
announced his purpose to distribute
his entire fortune. His gifts have
not therefore greatly exceeded his
income. He is probably still worth
$500, 100000 or more.
