CHICKAMAGUA ANNIVERSARY.

One of the Great Battles of the Rebel
lion-Tragic Death of Pcet-Soldier
General Lyle.
FoFty-two years ago the latter part
of September was fought and won by
Rosecrans the great battle of Chiel1a-
magua.
Chattanooga, the objective point of
the campaign, has been well considered
the very gateway of the entire South.
Bragg, in command of the Confederate
force, was outWitted and outma-
nenyred, and the town of Chattanooga
fell into Federal hands, entirely by
strategy.
Chattanooga was then but poor,
struggling village, never having been
even heard of by one in a thousand of
those who composed the Northern
army. 1t is now a wealthy, prosperous
city of over 10000 inhabitants and the
home of many Northern families. An
electric line runs from the city to
Chickamagua Park. every 80 minutes.
The celebration of the anniversary
of the battle, from the 10Th to the 23d
of September, where the tales Of the
campfire and the picket line were once
more recounted, has been of surprising
interest to thousands of old veterans
and their quondam foes.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1905-10-27

The battle of Chickamagua, which
followed Chattanooga, was most desper-
ately contested on both sides.
Bragg was reinforced by a veteran
corps from Virginia, under Longstreet,
and Buckner's Corps from East Ten
nessee, until his forces outnumbered
ROsecrans' by over 12,000, and yet the
Northern army, by wise and vigorous
marching day and night over noun
tains and through passes, and by the
concentration of widely scattered
forces, inflicted such terrible losses
that Bragg was incapable of any but
the most cautious following when
Roseerans fell back to occupy Chatta-
nooga, for which he had been contend
ing.
Among the many brave officers on
both sides who gave up their lives for
their beloved causes there was none

His poem of "Anthony and Cleopa-i

composed the night before the battle,
but which, as matter of fact, was an
earlier production, has been classed as
one of the most mastery lyrics IN
American poetry.

SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR Bills.
How an Innocent Man was Sus-
lpected.

A little story was told at the New
Willard Hotel in Washington the other
day by a New Yorker who was travel
ing ON a Pullman car between st.
Louis and his home, which goes to
show the danger of eonVieting man on
circnmstantial evidence. The principal
figure In this incident was not con-
Yicted, but had ii not been for Tor
tuitous circumstance it might have
gone hard with him.
1T seems that one Of the occupants
OF the ear on getting out of his berth to
dress missed his vest, which was a
rather serious affair. inasmuch as 1t
contained in an inside pocket a roll or
money which consisted of six brand
new 500 bills.
"A little later he picked mp the gar
ment on the floor, but on searching, the
roll Of money was gone. 1t was a
clear case of robbery, and the man
naturally raised an excited ontcry,
which drew the attention Of all his
feIloW-travelers. Early in the game
the proposition to search everybody in
that coach was made and adopted b
but a single dissenting voice. One man
stood out fiereely and Indignantly
against 1t, and said that he would
never. consent to such an indignity, but
would oppose it with all the force he
could employ.
"This man was at once an object of
suspicion, and many whispers directed
at him went around. Every other indi-
vidual aboard voluntarily submitted to
being searched, yet nothing was seen
of the Glen bills. At this point some
amateur Sherlock Holmes cornered the
porter, and by adroit questions and
threats made that rascally employe
own up to the heft, and also made him
disgorge 5000 In handsome notes that
appeared to be right from the Print
ing Bureau. The owner of the money
was overjoyed and all hands congratu-
lated him on recovering his money
about this time the obdurate gem
tleman who had resolutely declined to
be searched secured the floor. Now,
my friends said he, L will tell you
why / risked your suspecting me of the
theft and v hat did this man do but
go down in his hip pocket and fetch
up a roll of money that he counted out
in our presence, and, as sure as l am
a living man, in this roll there were
Just six-no more and no less-brand-
new bills, each of 500 denomination.
Positively there was no way of telling
them from the bills that had been re-
covered. Then we all knew why he had
declined to be investigated"

and the darkness crept over the Lake,
and into the darkness the Ong van
ished.
The women had been long in their
| hutS ere the council fire WAS kindled,
and the warriors grayely seated them
selves in its circle. The loss of a
young brave could not be allowed to
interfere with so important an event
as the marriage choice, and from most
of their minds he had vanished. 1t
was not so very unusual for the Ong
to claim victim, and besides, the
youth had been many times warned
by his elders that he should not go
hunting alone as had been his habit
of late.
But while the warriors were work
ing themselves up to "a frenzy of elo-
quence over their fbygone deeds of
daring, an Indian maiden was pad

mortals as were drowned in these wa
tiers, for their bodies were carried tic
the Ong's nest and no morse ever
escaped him. Sometimes he would
fly about the shores in quest of some
child, oor woman or hunter, yet he was
a great coward, and was never known
to attack anyone in camp, or when
two or more were together. No arrow
could pierce Ills feathers, nor could
the strongest spear do more than
glance from the scales on his face and
legs, yet his craven's heart made him
afraid, for his toes had no claws, and
his mouth mo ,beak.
Late one fall the Washoe Indians
were making their final hunt before
going to the valleys and leaving the
lake locked I'm its winter SHOWS. The
Chiefs daughter was sixteen years
old, and before leaving the lake he
must select the greatest hero in the
tribe for her husband, for such had
been the custom of Washoe chiefs
ever since the tribe came out Of the
Northland. Fairer than ever Indian
maiden had been was this daughter,
aud every unmarried brave and war
rior in the tribe wished that he had
performed deeds of greater prowess,
that he might be certain of winning
the prize. That last night at the lake,
around the big council fire, each was
to smoke the pipe and recount to the
Chief the noblest achievement of his
life, and when all were heard, the
Chief would choose, and the women
join the circle and the wedding take
place. For many years the warriors
had looked forward to this event and
the tribe had become famed because

by those who hoped to wed the
Chiefs lovely daughter.

One of the Old Guard.

When the Empress Eugene arrived
on Tuesday night from the Hotel Con-
tinental and stepped from the electric
coupe which had been sent to the sta
ton to meet her,'a tall and soldierly
old man of some seventy years stood
with barred head and saluted in mill
tary fashion.
In the brilliant days of the second
empire the old soldier formed part of
the empress bodyguard, and it is said
that he conceived strong platonic
love for his sovereign, which made
him the butt of his comrades.
The empress frequently visits the
city over which she once reigned so
brilliantly, but even the newspapers
hardly notice her comings and goings.
The old soldier, however, never fails
in his fidelity, and stands in one Of
the corridors through which the en-
press is bound to pass, so that he may
salute his former sovereign as she
passes at the Hotel Continental He
invariably brings magnificent bou-
quet of violets or roses, which are
placed in the empress drawing room
