A NOVEL CAPTURE.
How Two Brave Yankees Bagged
Half Dozen Confederates and
Got Them to Camp.

During the campaign in Maryland,
in 1852, Sergeant John Caldwell, COM
pany G., and his messmate, while forag-
ing about two miles from their tempo
rary camp, came suddenly upon six con-
federates. Both parties halted within
a very short distance from each other
and prepared for action. The leader
of the confederate squad, feeling sure
of the capture of the two Yankees, said:
"Well, YarEs, you had better surren-
der, as we are six to two"
Comrade Caldwell replied by pro-
posing to meet one of the enemy half
way, when they would talk the matter
over, it being distinctly understood that
no hostile action should take place dur
ing their parley. The proposition was
agreed to, and the confederate and
union soldier advanced until they met,
whereupon the parleying began in earn
est. This meeting was at crossroads,
and no union troops were within six or
eight miles of this point, except Gen.
Gregg's division, which had encamped
about two and one-half miles distant
during the previous night. During the
argument, Comrade Caldwell said:
Nov, Johnny, it is true that you out
number us, but l warn you should you
not surrender now, you will be captured
or killed within few hours. 1t mat
ters not which direction you go, you
will find union troops within an hour.
Why, our whole division is encamped
less than mile in my rear, and the
a, t., ,,nf.r IL No..
In fact, it is impossible for you to es-
cape, and my advice is for you to sur
render now, and avoid risking your
lives, for surely you will be killed or
captured within an hour" The con-
federate replied:
"Now, Yank, if what you say is true,
we will surrender"
Caldwell assured him that such was
the case whereat he called to the five
confederates in the rear. They came
forward, and all six surrendered to those
two brave boys in blue.
Caldwell and his companion then dis
armed their prisoners and started with
them for camp, presumably half mile
distant, but in reality nearly three
miles from their parleying point, says
the National Tribune. After going
about a half mile the confederate re-
marked: Say, Yank, did you not say
your camp was about half mile dis
tant?" Caldwell replied: Yes, John
ny, it is but short distance further"
At this the prisoners became angry, de-
claring that they would not have sur
rendered had they known the union
camp was nearly three miles instead of
balf mile away. But Caldwell and
his partner kept up their bluff and de-
livered their prisoners to the provost
marshal.
Comrade Caldwell was severely
wounded at HARDWOOD Church, Va. Feb
ruary 25, 1868, and was captured at
st. Mary's Church. June "a. 1864. He
resides in Pittsburg, Pa, where he has
succeeded himself several terms as al
derman. He was gallant soldier and
highly respected by his comrades.

MOURNING FASHIONS.
During Period of Casting Aside
of Gay Apparel.

Young women in mourning do not
wear bonnets. Simple toques and tur-
bans, and even wide hats, are perfectly
good form. Grape wells are worn for
deepest mourning, but net bordered
with Grape are less expensive and gen.
orally more becoming. The face veil,
which is always worn, is of plain Brus-
sells net, Grape bordered. No other face
veil is admissible on any terms.
In this country widows do not wear
caps. They are undeniably pretty and
piquant, but the meaning is rather OBJ
vious. Caps put one in mind of the
wigs of old-fashioned Jewesses, black
ened teeth of the Japanese and SCOT
painted faces of certain Indian women.
All of these are badges of immolation-
signs that the wearer has retired from
the world. American widows do not
immediate themselves. The suttee, even
the emotional suttee, has gone out of
fashion.
The proper fur to wear with deep
mourning is Persian, astrakhan or any
OF the dead black furs. Sealskin is some
times worn, nor does it look at all out Of
place.-N. Y. Post.

BIG SALARY FOR BUSTING.
Young Woman Employed by Van

Costly Bric-a-Brac.

There is no doubt that there are good
positions for those who want them. One

Young woman to dust her bric-a-brac.
The young woman receives a big salary
for her work, and her hours are short
and her time is practically her own. In
the Vanderbilt mansion she occupies her
own suite of rooms, and when she goes
out to drive she has her own hanson.
A saddle horse is at her disposal.

refined, cultivated young woman who
will realize its importance and its beau

And so she pays $1,000 year to a
college graduate to keep the numerous
pieces of bric-a-brac busted. The young
woman rises early to complete her task,
and again in the afternoon she dusts.
Indeed, she is busy all over the house
all during the day.

RAILWAY RUMoR.

The German government railways enl-
ployed 559,451 persons in 1903; the num-
ber of locomotives in use was 2e,S45.
The total length OF the Russian rail-
way system on January IA was 37,571X
miles. In 1904 there were thrown open
to traffic 6T9 miles
The final spike in the railroad from
Canton to Samshui was driven the other
day. But before 1t had been driven
down "a hours it was stolen by the Chi
nese. :
English railroad directors give prizes
to station masters who keep the best cul-
tivated flower beds at their respective
stations. Some OF the gardens thus
maintained are beautiful.
In 1898 the butter hauled over the Min
neapolis & st. Louis railroad was 4OO,-
O0O pounds Last year it was nearly IA
100000, the gain coming wholly from de-
Telopments Of creameries along the rail-
road. Z
A report from reheran, the capital OF
the shah's empire, is to the effect that
the Persian government is negotiating
with Russia for the purpose of building
a railroad from the Russian frontier to
the capital of Persia.
Traffic through the railway tunnel at
Port Huron, Mich, will soon be handled
by six electric locomotives. The third
rail system will be used, with the rail
placed at the side of the tunnel to avoid
accidents to workmen.

KEEPING GLOVES CLEAN.
The well-Dressed Woman Is Very
Particular About the Care of These
Easily Soiled Articles.

If she finds stain on her glove, she
cleans 1t Immediately with benzine, not
putting it away for the stain to become
set and immovable. Gloves should
never be rolled nor folded as either
treatment makes them look crumplod
and unattractive.
Gloves can bS saved in many little
ways and their term of usefulness pro-
longed. The handle of a chatelaine
bag will wear a glove white, so it
should be carried on the wrist, and the
tidy girl uses her handkerchief to save
her gloves, particularly when boarding
a car, carrying an umbrella or drinking
glass of soda or hot chocolate at the
drug store.
In large cities dyers will clean gloves
in 2A hours for ten cents a pair. The
tidy girl in the small town is often
compelled to clean her own gloves.
Here are several methods worth ivy
ing:
To clean gloves the first thing neces-
sary is to buy the best grade of gaso-
line and have a soft toothbrush and a
covered ironing board. Now pour some
of the gasoline into a bowl and then
wet the gloves thoroughly. You can
either put them on, leaning your hand
on the covered board, or if they do not
fit you, place them on the board. Then
take the toothbrush, dip it in the gas
oline and rub the gloves until clean,
rubbing them with piece of flannel or
bath towel until dry; after which hang
them in the sun or in window where
the wind blows; in this way some of
the odor will be removed.
A white glove should never be worn
more than once without cleaning. If
it is cleaned promptly after each wear
ing it can be used indefinitely, as the
spots do not become set.
The tidy girl always washes her own
silk and lace gloves in summer and
takes particular pride in her washable
white kids. These gloves are both
practical and economical, and may be
worn for considerable length of time
with careful handling in their launder-
ing. If care is not exercised, however
they will shrink and thicllen up so as
to become quite useless. They should
be washed on the hands, in tepid wa
ter, and afterward rinsed in several
clear tepid waters while still on the
hand. Do not pass the soap through the
hands, but always use studded water.
A drop or two of ammonia in the Sec
ond and last rinsing waters will pre-.
vent the gloves from becoming yellow.
These washable gloves should be al
lowed to dry on the hands; if removed
while only partly dry they will stretch
out of shape.-Washingto Star

The Chicago Inter Ocean speaks Of
him as follows:
Col. Warner will have the confidence
and support of the surviving veterans Of
the civil war. He will have their conf
dence not only because he was good
soldier, but because throughout his pub
lie life he has dealt with questions in
which soldiers were directly or indi-
rectly interested with discrimination
and understanding. He has not yielded
too much to sentiment on the one hand
and has yielded nothing TO prejudice on
the other.
He has had throughout his long
service in congress the poise of a SOL
der, which carries with it instructive
regard for duty and appreciation of the
difficulties under which duty is to be per-
formed

THE TRICKS
Coffee Plays on Some.

1t hardly pays to laugh before you

SO l commenced it again and con-
tinued about + months until my

choking as if | had swallowed some
thing the size of an egg. One doctor
said it was neuralgia and indigestion.

drawn double in the buggy and when
my husband hitched the horse to get
me out into the doctors Office, misery
came up in my throat and seemed to
shut my breath off entirely, then left
all in flash and went to my heart.
The doctor pronounced it nervous
heart trouble and when | got home l
was so weak could not sit up.
my husband brought my supper to
my bedside with nice cup of hot cof-
fee, but said: Take that back, dear,

Civil War Shells Recently Exploded

Some days ago the woods in the
mountains known as Louden Heights,
opposite Harper's Ferry, took fire and
burned with great intensity. After
burning for some time series of ex-
plosions were heard which startled the
inhabitants, and the concussion was so
great that it broke windows in some
houses in Harper's Ferry, across the
Shenandoah. The explosions We're
caused by the bursting of shells, which
were thrown on the heights at the time
when Gen. Miles surrendered to Stone
wall Jackson, in 1862. These had failed
to explode when they were fired, and had
lain here for over 40 years.-Hagers-

The woman was heroine in her

the tree, she reached down the hook,
and inserted it IN the mouth of the

SToNEWALL JAcKSoN'S PLAN
How This Brave Fighter Would Have
Conducted the Struggle of the

Stonewall Jacksons plan for conduct

raphy, and making some corrections
in what Dabney says in his Life OF
Gen. Barringer," has furnished her
with report of plan outlined by
Stonewall Jackson in council of war
ON July IA, 1862. Gen. Lee ap-
proved it, but President Davis vetoed
it. The plan was to organize few
independent camps at important points
ID the south, and use the best troops as
light, movable columns of not over
10000 OR $4,000 each, made up OF
the very best men, under picked Of
ficers, and lightly equipped for quick
marches. These he would hurl against
the enemy as it invaded southern ter
ritory, or use them to make rapid in
cursions to capture badly protected
northern towns, would levy $4,000 or
$4,000 on each town, and destroy places
that refused the demand. If too close
ly pressed, he would swiftly retreat
No prisoners would be taken except high
civil officers, who would be held for raE-
som. The rank and file would be paroled
on the understanding tina. if ever caught
fighting again they would he killed.

ringer says that after Pope was whipped
by Jackson, at Cedar River Jackson ex-
pected th.s plan to be instituted, but
Lee decided to remain inactive, and aft

burg, demonstrating the superior wis
