ceum November 10. 20, q. This play Is
a powerful drama OF New York life and
is free from the least vuigarity. IL tells
q strong. clean story OF the life OF
young girl who has been brought up
among thieves and whose native modesty
and virtue proves tco strong TO be cor
rupted. Scenic effects Of O most sensa-
tionai character are introduced ana the
company is one OF unusual excellence.

The comedians tour Is being directed by

WHO HAS ARMY ENVELOPES?
Few of These Reminders of the Civil
War Are to Be Found '-.,s
+ .s's.. To-Day. ...

1t would be interesting to know just
how many varieties of illustrated sol
diers' envelopes were printed in the
course of the four-year war. It is
said there were several thousands of
them. Every loyal state was prolific
of local as well as general suggestive
ideas for pictorial and typographical
expression, and the opportunity was
well improved by manufacturers of
and dealers in stationery. Unlike the
war songs Of Root and other com
posers, this Union envelope" fad had
an ephemeral existence.
In Grand Army halls and at Grand
Army campfires, and the stage enact
ment of civil war dramas, almost
everything else is seen in the line of
reminders of the days of '61-5mus-
kets, swords, belts. knapsacks, haver-
sacks. canteens, tin dippers, belts,
flags. etc.-but the army envelope is
not in evidence. And yet, even at this
late day, there is, 1t is safe to opine,
many carefully treasured specimen

Enclosure Of the soldier boys letter

SILENT RELICS OF HEROES

years after the close of the civil war
by one who speaks whereof he saw,
and which 1 am permitted to quote,

graphic portrayal:

to the absent; a moment to exchange
| with comrade, SO that the survivor
might forward the missive to those
loved ones; an instant to breathe a
| whispered prayer through moving lips,
just loud enough to be heard in
| Heaven - when boom-boom-boo
the solemn voice spoke out, and with a
| shout which made the earth tremble,
| we leaped from the obscuring ditch,
and the harvest of death began.
Paralyzed for an instant, but only
an instant, the enemy opened their
guns with consummate fury. Our ar
t1llery, too, recently placed in posi-
ton under the mantle of darkness and
concealed by brush, replied with even
f1ercer violence. Thus, with the air
about us full of screeching missiles
and sulphurous smoke, blinded and
sometimes even covered by the debris
thrown over us from the burrows
plowed by shells, we forged forward.
Some began to chop down the stakes,
while others aimed at the gunners.
The range was close-we were vet.
erans-nearly every shot brought
down victim and silenced gun.
Their riflemen, too, were soon so
weakened by loss that they could not
check our advance until we reached
the great ditch which surrounded the
fort. Here, besides every other con-
ceivable obstruction, it was planted
thick with torpedoes; but although it
were the veritable jaws Of death,
there could be no faltering now-into
it we leaped with a shout
Although beyond the range of the
guns, we now became the victims of
the fuse of shell hurled upon us from
above. But still, over the dead bod
les of the slain, we pushed forward
to the opposite bank. Here, hating
but moment under the slight protec-
ton to recover our spent vigor, with
another shout out-yelling the missiles
of war, we flung ourselves at the para
pet. The attempted seemed impossi-
BILE, but with such men nothing is i'm

the steep and difficult ascent; regard
less Of bursting shell and kissing bull
let's; in utter defiance of the enemy
who now thronged the slopes, until,
hurting our foes headlong with our
bayonets, we leaped into the fort.
On that very parapet before me,
within this deserted space, shaded
now by vernal and silent growths, that
scene of hell-born carnage was en-
acted.
But this was of short duration. Our
.reenforcements were pouring into the
fort like mighty flood-the enemy,

who believe they are entirely and eter-
nally right.
At last the point was reached where
the work must be completed by an act
of extreme desperation-we must
charge the fort.
Between the trench in which we
were concealed and the coveted prize
was a space of about 500 feet, filled
with every sort of obstruction which
cunning, desperate men could devise.
In part this consisted of stout stakes
driven firmly into the ground at an
angle pointing towards us, and sharp
ened These were so thick and close
that we could not pass between them,
and were too strong to be easily
broken. If there was spot anywhere
affording the least protection from the
leaden storm, it was planted thick
with torpedoes. 1t was through and
over such distractions that we must
force our way while the guns of the
fort would be flashing on us floods OF
death.
The signal was to be three guns
fired from a battery near the center
of our line, at an interval Of half 9
minute each. To deceive the enemy

DATE A MEMORABLE ONE.
Events of Importance in Country's
History Happening on the Thir-
tieth of Nav,

The thirtieth day of May, which the
As states of the now indivisible union
have known as Decoration day. ever
since Gen. Logan's order in 1858 Of
ticially set it aside for the observance
of reminiscent patriotism, figures yari-
ously in the chronologies of peace and
war; To that passing generation
which lived through the horrors and
sufferings of titanic civil strife the
date is eloquent as fortunately it
cannot be to any others, but to all
good Americans it will ever stand as
peaceful monument to the juster
ending of "the great debate" while
all that world which busies itself with
the records of past history will fit
tingly place the Decoration day of "the
states" first of the ten events of i'm
portance which have fallen on the
penultimate of the fifth month.
Three of these nine happenings,
other than Memorial day, are closely
connected with the war between the
northern states and the southern. 1t
was on May 30, 1850, that there was
born boy soon to be christened Fred
erick Dent Grant, and who was to
grow up to the command of those
same armies which his then unknown
father was to lead to final victory in
the greatest of all civil wars-to grow
up, moreover, so like the world-famous
father in every feature and movement
as to cause many veteran of the
COS to turn and look after him in the
streets with strange and sudden
beating at the heart.
Twelve years later than this (1862),
it was ON May 80, that the confederate
forces evacuated Corinth, down near
the Tennessee line in Mississippi,
while the same date in 1854 had seen
the signature of Franklin Pierce at
tached to that famous Kansas-Ne-
braska bill which played no incon-
siderable part in bringing on an armed
arbitrament of the slavery question.
That stroke of the chief executives
pen organized as territories the states
which are now known as Kansas and
Nebraska, the latter to join the union
in January of 1861 as a slave state,
but Kansas not until 1867, when the
portentous question which had
drenched her fields with blood in the
middle SOS had been settled beyond
all further disputing. Far from least
among the past events recalled by
Memorial day is the signing of that
bill-it marked the repeal of the Mis-
souri, compromise, it marked the tri
umph of that strong but scheming
leader Stephen A. Douglas over such
patriots as Sumner and Chase and
Wade and Seward; it made of squat
ter sovereignty bitter fact, encour
aging those worse elements which
| brought war into the land.
