Battle of Lexington and Momentous
Incident in Baltimore.

Just 1870 years ago today the shot was
fired at Lexington that was heard around
the world" and just forty-four years ago
today Baltimore was the scene of one of
the most momentous events in the history
of the United States-the attack upon the
9th Massachusetts Regiment as it was on
its way to Washington in defense of the
Union. There are many persons living in
Washington today who remember that April
10. nearly half century ago
The country was in a turmoil then Fort
Sumter had been fired upon, the federal
government had called for volunteers to put
down the rebellion and the stars and bars
had been run up to replace the stars and
stripes in many southern states Baltimore
was "Secesh' of the hottest kind. and when
the Washington authorities attempted to
pass armed men through the city there was
trouble.
On the morning of April 10 the 9th Massa-
chusetts Regiment and portions of the 1st
and I'd Regiments of Pennsylvania troops
started across the city. They We're greeted
with boots and jeers and showers of missiles
We're hurled at them BY the immense throng
of southern sympathlzers. soldiers gun
was accidently discharged. the mob made
an assault and the soldiers fired a volley.
-Four soldiers Were killed and thirty-six
wounded, while twelve citizens We're killed
and large number injured.

portant place in education circles in the
national capital. Thousands of college
graduates in Washington and elsewhere
throughout the country attended Mr. Put

gratitude and affection. Last fall Mr. Put

longer continue his labors. and with much
regret he closed the school, over which he
had presided for more than two decades.

Universal Slang.

From London Today.
1t may be questioned, perhaps, whether
the manners of English society are any
worse than they were hundred years ago,
but there can scarcely be any doubt of the
deterioration of the speech of many MEM
bers of the better classes. The standing of
a nan is more clearly indicated by the kind
OF slang which he affects than by the man
ner In which he dresses.
