WILL PUSH CASE
AGAINST OIL TRUST

Washington, June "a. Although
the department of justice has an
nounced that it proposes to begin
criminal proceedings against the Off.
Gals of the Standard Oil company,
the intimation is given that it is
doubtful If indictments may be found
against such men in the Standard OH
company as John ID. Rockefeller, II.
II. Rogers and John d. Archbold.
An official of the department Of jus.
tice indicated yesterday that while
the government would press the
prosecutions vigorously he did not
have an idea that the officials Of the
Standard Oil company would be
reached in criminal proceedings any
more than the presidents of railroads
personally, are reached through SINH
lar proceedings.
1T may be-" he said, that we may
yet get some of the officials half way
up. We are not after mere clerks,
but IL responsibles have been violat-
ing the law we desire to bring them
to book"
Attorney General Moody had a con-
ference with the president yesterday
regarding the proposed prosecutions,
but at the conclusion of the interview
he declined to indicate when or where
the proceedings of the government
against the Standard Oil company
would be instituted.

COST OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
How the Expenses of the Government
establishments Are Taken
Care Of.

A correspondent asks: rs the presi-
dent able to save anything out Of the
mere $4,000 year salary he re-
ceives?" Many people believe that the
$50 900 a year which the president gets
as salary is the sum total of his official
income 1t is mistake, says the San
Francisco Argonaut.
This is haw he is paid: S36,064 is
given him in addition to his salary OF
$4,000 to pay the salaries of his sub
ordinates and clerks. His private Sec
rotary is paid $3.50, his assistant pri-
vate secretary S2,250, his stenographer
$1,000, five messengers (each) $1,000, a
steward $1,000, two doorkeepers (each)
$1,000, four other clerks at good sal
aries, ranging from $1,000 to $4,000;
one telegraph operator, two ushers, ST.
200 and 81, 400; a night usher, 81 200;
Waterman. $780, and a man who takes
care of the fires, who receives 1894
year.
In addition to this there is given to
him So 900 for incidental expenses, such
as stationery, carpets and the care OF
the presidential stables. And under
another heading there is given him
nearly $4,000 more. OF this $12,5OO is
for repairs and refurnishing the White
House, $4,000 is for fuel, $4,000 is for
the greenhouse, $4,000 is for gas,
matches and the stable. The White
House all told costs the country in con-
action with the president cOnSidera-
bly, over s125,0O0 year.
The president is also well to do In
his own right, having inherited com
petence from his father. Add to this
the royalties he has received from his
books, his income from magazine work,
and it will be seen that the expense
incident to the marriage of Miss Alice
will by no means pinch the purse OF
the house of Roosevelt.

CHAPTER XVI
A Gentle Nurse.

Even surgeons may at times be mis-,
taken, for they cannot foretell outside
events that are sure to have a bearing
on the case.
For instance, this grizzled army vet
eran could rot know that in less than
ten minutes after he gave his doleful
verdict a young woman should enter
the old church used as hospital and
inquire for Colonel John, declaring it
her intention to nurse him.
Crockett Ridgeway had carried the
news.
1t was no Northern nurse, but a
lady well known in Atlanta.
So the Federal colonel, battling with
fate. threw off the fever and came into
his right mind again.
Then a cool hard pressed his brow,
and he looked up into the face of Mol.
lie.
She smiled and put a finger to his
lips, signifying silence, and he fore
bore to question-indeed, It was prob
lematical whether he could have
spoken above a whisper at any rate.
After that his recovery was slow but
sure.
At length the time came when he
determined to speak.
Mollie had nursed him faithfully,
and he could no longer let that ridicul-
Gus bond stand between them. Be-
sides, her action in coming to him
had done away with 1t provisions.
He would know his fate on the NOR
row. SO Colonel John decided one
night after she had made him comfort
able and left him.
That was a terribly long night to
him.
At length daylight arrived, and the
hour when Mollie usually put in an
appearance; but she came not.
He wrestled between pride and fear.
Other days passed, but she came
not.

THE SCIENTIFIC SPIRIT.
Some Consolation for the Patient
Afflicted with New Fa-
Ial Malady.

Andrew Carnegie admires the sci.
entific spirit-his generous gifts to sci
ence are a proof of that. Nevertheless
to his keen humor this spirit offers
itself as a good prey. and Mr.. Carnegie
often rails wittily at scientists and
their peculiar ways, says the New
York Tribune.
"The late-the late-but won't
mention the poor fellows name" said
Mr.. Carnegie at a scientists supper.
THE late Blank, as he lay on his death
bed, was greeted very joyously one
morning by his physician.
Poor Blanks eyes lit up with hope
at sight of the physicians beamins
face. There had been consultation
on his case the day before. Perhaps,
at last, the remedy to cure him, had
been found.
"My dear Mr.. Blank said the ply.
sian, 4 congratulate YOU
BLANK smiled.
al shall recover? he asked, in q
weak voice, tremulous with hope.
Well-er-not exactly said the
physician. But we believe your dis
ease to be entirely new, and II the au'
topsy demonstrates this to be true
we have decided to name the malad'
after you"

srn warrior-his mad devotion toward
Mollie had swerved him from the
path of an honorable gentleman, but
John could forgive now.
Now that he was rid of this anxiety
Colonel John had only to do his best
to get well.
There was a dearth of nurses in the
hospital.
Southern girls had enough to do tc
take care of their own wounded.
Thus it happened that those OF the
Federal sick who were in precarious
position, lowering between life and
death as it were, found themselves in
measure neglected.
Colonel John took downward
course-fever set in, and the old sur
seon in making his round shook his
head and said:
We'll have vacancy here soon.
The colonel's crisis is approaching
and he has little show to live"

and the surgeon would not arouse him,
for the crisis in his condition had just
passed, and any excitement might
prove fatal.
The legions in blue marched away,
and the sound of their drums and flies
had hardly died out before the streets
swarmed with the veterans of Johns
ton, Hood being up in Tennessee,
eager to see those they loved, to dis
cover what damage had been done dur
ing the occupation.
So Colonel John became a prisoner
again.
When he regained his consciousness,
his case had improved somewhat.
With careful nursing he might live
in spite of the severe shock his sys-
tenn had received.
OF course the wounded soldier
thought of Mollie.
God knew he needed her assistance
while his life hung thus in the bal
ance.
But how should be let her know?
A Confederate officer walking
through the sickroom stopped at
Johns cot, and looking up the wound
ed Federal beheld his cousin.
Crockett Ridgeway no longer
scowled as his eyes fell upon the face
Of the man toward whom he had en-
tertained such a hostile feeling.
Come, had no idea you were here,
cousin. I'm sorry to see 1t, and at
the same time glad of a chance to
ask your pardon for the share l had
in that ugly business"
John looked surprised-the other
laughed in a hearty way.

in this quarter.

1t was the signal.

1t was the signal.
Along the line of entertainments
ran zig-zag fire and the rattle Of
guns almost continuous.
While the first rank fell back to re-
load, the second pushed forward and
took their places.
Evidently the affair was TO be de-
cided hand to hand, and no one could
foretell the result.
Every moment Colonel John had
hopes of hearing the encouraging cries
that would proclaim the coming of re-
Inducements from Sherman, but un-
less they come very soon it would be
too late, since his handful of men
could not long hold their own against
such overwhelming odds.
This was only one of numerous
small battles which history had re-
corded merely in the aggregate as
series of engagements around At.
lanta, in which many men were lost
on both sides, and little save glory
won.
Fortune favored the Federals in this
case, for when everything looked the
blacklist the column from Sherman
came upon the scene.
Then the tables were turned.
1t was the Confederates now who
sought safety in flight, leaving many
of their heroic dead and wounded in
and around the breastworks, for the
possession of which they had fought
so long.
Colonel John was down.
In the last stirring encounter he had
fallen, while leading his men into the
thick of the fight.
They carried him to the city.
Here in the hospital he was taken
in charge by experienced surgeons,
and when all had been done that was
possible they pronounced their yer.
dict.
Colonel John had a fighting chance
for his life.
That was all.
To move him at that stage would
be madness, since 1t must result In
his death.
This meant that whether the colonel
got well or not depended upon the en-
envy, since he must be left to their
| tender mercies.
Thus there came a day when the
Federal forces rode or marched out
of the city and headed in an easterly
direction.
Those who knew and loved Colonel
John had gone to the hospital to bid
him adieu.
He was in a deep sleep at the time

MEAT BILL PASSES QUICKLY.
House Adopts II with Practical Unan.
inoitv

Washington, d. c., June 20.-With
practical unanimity the house yester.
day adopted the substitute amendment
for the Beveridge amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill relat.
ing TO meat inspection, the objec-
tionable feature of former amend.
ments being eliminated and the
amendment perfected TO meet the
wishes of the president. An effort
was made to extend the time OF de-
bate, but Mr.. Wadsworth, chairman,
of the committee on agriculture, de-
string to get the bill into conference
as soon as possible, objected to the
granting of additional time, although
nearly an hour was consumed in the
explanation and debate upon the
measure.

Col. John Was Down.

stroyed, and save for the private
Gate City of the South had become
heap Of ruins.
1t was in the morning that Colonel
John and his command came upon the
foe.
Seeing the Confederates were in
force, the Federal leader ordered a
charge, and away the cavalrymen
went, pell-mell.
At once the greatest confusion en-
sued.
Unable to force a way through, and
with no good opportunity for flank
movement, the Federals were hurled
back.
AS last resource they occupied
some old entertainments long since de-
serted, and dismounting awaited the
coming of the foe.
Ridgeway knew the sounds of battle
would reach Sherman in Atlanta, and
that sooner or later If he could only
hold his own a column would be sent
to his relief.
Crouching behind the breastworks
they awaited the assault of the foe.
1t was indeed sight to look upon
the superb disdain with which these
veteran fighters awaited. the coming
of their enemies.
Some were sitting close together
laughing and joking in quiet way
others had crawled to more exposed
positions where they might have a
chance TO pick sharpshooter off, and
sprawled there they had the appear
ance of human pancakes.
The Confederates did not seem In
any great haste to make the assault.
Perhaps they were waiting to con-
centrate their forces.
Colonel John feared there might be
path by means of which they might
get around his little fort and spring a
surprise upon their rear.
He endeavored to prevent this to the
best of his ability.
II was after noon when word was
finally passed along the lines that the
enemy had begun to make a general
advance.
I'D to this time there had beer
few spasmodic movements on the part
of the detached bodies, designed no
doubt, simply to aggravate the Fed.
erals and keep their attenticr from an.
other quarter.
Colonel Ridgeway knew what was
coming now, and encouraged his brave
fellows to render good account OF
themselves.
The silence was at length broken
by the discharge OF a gun FAR upon
The right.
