IN A STREET CAR

I'm a wreck in the key of G fiat.
side-stepped in among bunch of
language beavers yesterday and ever
since I've been sitting on the ragged
edge with my feet hanging over.
1 was on my way down to Wall
street to help ]. Pierpont Morgan buy
q couple of railroads and all the world
seemed as blithe and gay as a love
clinch from Laura Jean Libbey's
latest.
When 1 climbed into the cable-car
felt like man who had mailed money
to himself the night before.
1 was aces.
And then somebody blew out my
gas.
At the next corner two society flash
lights Topped in and sat next to me.
They had a lot of words they wanted
to use and they started in.
The car stopped and two more of
the 400's leading ladies jumped the
hurdles and came down the aisle.
They sat on the other side of me.
In a minute they began to bite the
dictionary.
Their efforts aroused the energies
of three women who sat opposite me,
and they proceeded to beat the Eng
lish language black and blue.
In a minute the air was so full of
talk that the grip germs had to pull
out on the platform and chew the con-
ductor.
The next one to me on my left
started in:
"Oh, yes; we discharged our cook
day before yesterday, but there's an
other coming this evening, and
Her friend broke away and was up
and back to the center with this:

just sat there and bit my nails like
the heavy villain in one of Corse Pay
toms ten, TWEEN, thir dramas.
That 'loveliest eyes" speech had
me groggy.
Whenever 1 hear a woman turn on
that "loveliest eyes" gag about an
actor I always feel that a swift slap
from a wet dish-rag would look well
on her back hair.
Then the bunch across the aisle got
the flag.

LEEs's LOST FLAG OF TRUCE
Incidents Connected with His Sur
render in Which Maj. Morgan
Participated

ct met, on Appomattox day, said
the colonel, 1.-THE officer who received
Gen. Lees flag of truce, just before
the surrender, April 9. 1865, This was
Maj George F. Morgan, at that time In
command of the One Hundred and
Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania in Grifhn's d.
vision of the Fifth corps The division
was on duty early that morning Nor
gan being well to the front with lines
near Appomattox. A rebel battery
went into position to check the union
advance, and became SO troublesome
that Gen. Griffin said to the command
er of the brigade: Tell Morgan to take
that battery
Griffin had at one time commanded
the brigade, and he knew Morgan. No
sooner was the order given than the
One Hundred and Fifty-f1fth charged
the battery. The guns were whisked
away, and the Alabama brigade sup
porting the battery swung around the
flank of Morgan's men to compel their
withdrawal. Instead of Withdrawing
the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth pro-
ceeded to cut the Alabamans off from
their main column. While this move

your pockets But Morgan was not
shot and was kept in training for
many a hard fight"
At Five Forks Morgan was the Sc
Nor captain in provisional brigade
in which no field officers were present
for duty. When Sheridan and Griffin
rode up at the turning point in the
battle the situation was explained to
them, Morgan expressing his willing
ness to assume responsibility. There
upon Sheridan gave his orders and said
to Morgan: eff you do just as 1 tell
you we will double their lines back
and break them all up" Morgan
moved the brigade forward, doubled
the enemy's line back on itself, and, as
Sheridan said, broke them all up.
Morgan is we'll known among the
older officers of the regular army, says
the Chicago Inter-Ocean. He went out
with Samuel NJ. B. Young in 1861. The
latter, who enlisted as a private in the
Twelfth Pennsylvania, became lieuten-
ant general, and others of Morgan's
old associates came to hold high rank,
but none of them ever forgot the quiet
business man of Chicago who won
brevets at Five Forks and Appomattox
and whose regiment fired the last vol
ley before Lees surrender.

Wouldn't it lead you to a padded
cell?
Sayl was down and out-no kid
ding!
1 wanted to get up and fight the
door-tender, but 1 couldn't.
One of the conversationalists was
sitting on my overcoat.
1 felt that if 1 got up and called my
coat back to Papa she might lose the
thread of her story, and the jar would
be something frightful.
So 1 sat still and saved her life.
The one on my right must have been
the Lady President of The Hammer
Club.
She was talking about some other
girl and she didn't do a thing to the
absent one.
She said she was svelte.
1 suppose that's Dago for a shine.
That's the way with some women.
They can't come right out and call an
other woman a polish They have to
beat around the bush and chase their
friends to the swamps by throwing
things like "svelte'' at them. Tush!
1 tried to due, the foreign tattle on

Then the sweet girlish thing on my
left gave me the corKscrew jab.
1t was the finish:
Isn't that lovely? Well, as 1 was

Chances of Death in Battle.

In Homeric days a battle was a con-
fiict of armed mobs. The nearer you
got to your assailant the better was
your chance of killing or being killed.
The bigger the man the better were
his chances in the strife In these
piping times of mechanical warfare.
says the Scientific American, the stu
alton is reversed. Battles are fought
at ranges mile or so. The smaller
the man the less are his chances of
being hit An ingenious mathemati-
clan has figured out that perhaps the
casualties on the Japanese side must
have been considerably less than those
of the Russians in the recent war if If
be assumed that the craftsmanship of
each was equally good The advantage
of the japanese was inversely as the
cubes of their height and breadth.
The average targets offered by each 10
the enemy are as the cubes or 1855

ment was being executed a confederate
major came forward bearing a flag of
truce-a white pocket handkerchief
tied to the twig of a tree. Taken to
Maj. Morgan, he said at once: For
Gods sake, major, stop firing. Gen.
Lee has decided to surrender
Morgan asked why in thunder his
command did not stop firing. The flag
of truce was sent back to Gen. Grit
fin, the message to be forwarded to
Sheridan or Grant, while Morgan him
self pressed the Alabamans to surren-
der Immediately. This they did, and
Morgan's regiment had the honor of
firing the last volley of that campaign
and of receiving the unconditional sur
render of the first confederate brigade
to lay down its arms at Appomattox
Then Morgan, after sending his prison
ers to the rear, rearranged his lines
so as to include the Mclean and other
houses in Appomattox.
He was sitting on his horse in front
of the Mclean house when Lee and
Babcock rode up, and his men were in
duty when Grant, Sheridan and the
others came up. Not only were Nor
gan's men closely associated with the
events of that day, but they were ap-
pointed to receive the arms of the con-
federates, who turned over guns and
equipment in the next few days. 1t will
be remembered that Lee, after writing
his last note to Grant, was met by
Col. Babcock, who escorted him to Nc
Leans house to await the coming of
Grant, to whom the note had been for
warded. Meantime all was uncertainty
where the lines were in contact, the

was at the most interesting point on
the line and became a participant in
the dramatic scenes of the Appomattox

adventure on the night of the second
day. His brigade was posted on Little
Round Top and at the night he was
changing his pickets along Plum creek

which is hot water. He mixed In the railroad
rate legislation Intermediary between the
strenuous President Roosevelt and the vitriolic
Senator T1llman, of South Carolina The oppor-
tunty to have some fun was too great for Mr.
Chandler to let pass. President Roosevelt, as
everybody who has come in personal contact
with him knows, is irapetuous and in private con-
versation speaks his mind very freely and some
times extravagantly about those with whom he
may have a difference of opinion.
On the rate bill the president had some
strong differences and to Senator Chandler he
talked very freely about Senators Spooner, Knox
and Foraker. 1t so happened that two OF these
men, Spooner and Foraker have been in Mr..
Chambers bad books for some years and the

THE "GoLD-DUsT TWINS.

Two new members in the senate are getting
a large share of credit for securing sane and
constitutional measure through that body. These
are Senators Knox, of Pennsylvania, and Crane,
of Massachusetts, Mr.. Knox has taken high place
in the senate during his first term because of the
reputation he had when he entered that body.
His advice has been sought and his opinion re-

members. He has made but set speech, but

Senator Knox, one OF the trio named by eX-

VISITED By EDITORS

About eight of the visiting Califor.

selves of Dr. Cofer's invitation to visi,
the Quarantine station on Mauliolou

tired from their strenuous life
which they have led since they arrived
here, and were kept back on account
of the early hour on which the excur.
sion started.
The visitors left the wharf at 0 n
IN. and were conveyed to the island on
the quarantine launch Oahu. DIR. COT
err showed them all over the station
which impressed them as being a COM
plete and effective plant. During the
visit refreshments were served. The
editors returned about 1880 o'clock
all expressing their appreciation OF
their visit.
