Tom ochiItree'a Moon.

After Tom Ochiltree, that able con.

for the afflicted rich, settled in New
York as the amuser of the John w.
Mackay family, he effervesced in a
thousand different directions, and was
as good in some ways as Sam Ward.
One night he escorted John Mackay's
friend, the Count de Biscout, down to
the Battery to show the sight of New
York. The moon was grand, and the
count went into raptures as "her
maiden reflection rippled over the
pearly waters" He cried: "Eet iss

such moon in all Italy!" Count" "
said Ochiltree, solemnly, as befitted
the occasion. you just ought to see

these sounds are uttered apparently

Sugar Baskets at = Cav Dime,

There are hostesses who insist on
making their dinner parties mixture
of the toy shop and the conservatory,
in spite of the report that social
ban has fallen on lavish displays. At
a dinner in a fashionable resort last
week baskets made of drawn sugar
with faring edges and long handles
stood at each place. The baskets were
woven from strands of variegated col
or and were further embellished by a
sugar bow. They were filled with flow
ers which matched a display of
blooms in the center of the table. The
dinner was very, very gay, though no
pet dogs were invited.

The late Senator Platt Of Connec-

One year when the district schools
opened in his town one of the teach

of her pupils, as required by law,
found that one little girl, who came
from a family not noted for being
especially bright, was unable to say
when her birthday came.
So in order to complete her records.
the teacher walked two miles to see
the girls mother one afternoon after
school, Asked if she could remem-

the woman thought for some little

DUEL OF SOUTHERN GENERALS.
Killing of Walker by Marmaduke and
Its Effect on Confederate Fortunes.

"a duel between two confederate
generals, almost in the midst of an
important engagement, in the early
stages of the civil war, had something
to do with the final collapse of the
southern cause" said an ex-confed-
crate living in New York after his
return from the Davis and ]. E. B.
Stuart memorial celebrations in Rich
mond, relates the New York Sun.
I'VE were not as united as the new
generation would have you believe.
There was always a misunder-
standing between the Richmond gov
ernment and the trans-Mississippi de-
partment Early In the conflict l was
sent to Arkansas to learn the cause
Of the trouble in the leadership.
Five men, whose names later be-
came part of the history of the
cause, were at variance at a time
when unity was essential. These men
were Sterling Price, Marmaduke,
Walker, Holmes and Pagan. Price
was the idol of the Missouri troops
Marmaduke was born soldier
Walker was martinent. Holmes was
uncertain in judgment. Pagan was a
good fighter when he was discreetly
directed.
When l reached Arkansas these
five men were before Helena for the
purpose of wrestling it from the ene-
my. 1t was a strategic position at
the time. 1t is not necessary to go
into the details Of the story. The
point is that the attack failed.
1T was a blow to the Richmond
government early in the couse. The
failure lay not with the soldiers but
with the leader. Holmes had
planned the fight. Events showed
that he had no conception of the
strength Of the Notifications of the
enemy or Of the enemy's numbers.
After the failure dissensions
among the leaders increased. This
was noticeably the case between
Walker and Marmaduke.
IF remember correctly Walk
er ranked Marmaduke. In one
Of the movements Walker had Or
dered the troops under his command
to retreat. To Marmaduke was given
the post Of danger-covering the re-
treat. He was assured that at GER
tain point he would be REINFORCED by
Walker.

have this aid. When he arrived at

LEY FOWLE also the first
woman to be married before the house
of representatives, an event which
was attended by hundreds of the
highest dignitaries of the land who

went to Washington, where she hoped

she had found her mission.
At all the hospitals about Washing.
ton her face and voice became ia.
miliar, and it was while engaged upon
this work, when she heard the com.
plant that many of the soldiers spent
their time in idly playing cards and
telling useless stories, that she con.
ceived the idea of founding library
for them. @s
With this object in view she went
to President Lincoln, who promised
her site for the library, provided she
could obtain the necessary sum to
erect it.
Her voice was the only thing she
could depend upon to raise money
with so that together with Mr.. Fowle
she determined to give series of con.
certs to raise the necessary fund for
the library building.
President Lincoln allowed her the
use of the Marine band at two Of
these concerts and within very short
time she managed to raise about
$4,000.
Mrs. Fowle was only 1s years of age
when this library was built, but it
was soon stacked with books, which
were freely given to the soldiers, who
obtained them under their signature
and a promise tc return them.
At that time Mr.. Fowle was employ
ed in the navy department at Wash
ington, but his tastes were very much
in common with those of his fiancee,
and she obtained no little support
from him in all her endeavors.
Together they were members of the
choir in the house of representatives
and it was this circumstance that
induced them to be married there.
On that occasion the floor and gal
leries were packed, fully 1000 people
being present. The bride was also
requested to sing, "The Star Spangled
Banner" Immediately after the cere-

DRUMMER MEANT ALL RIGHT.
7ut His Act Surely Spoiled Artists
"8lg Scene"

II might have happened over on
Staten Island; anyhow, it occurred in
Greater New York, and at a stock
company house. The company put on
an uproarious farce one week, during
the course of which the leading lady
made several burlesque falls. In or
der to accentuate the comedy Of these
the stage manager directed the drum
mer in the orchestra to give the bass
drum resounding whack every time
the leading lady fell to the stage. He
followed instructions faithfully at ev-
cry fall except one at the opening of
the performance. The stage manager
was furious. After the show he had a
heart to heart talk with the drummer
in his dressing room.
THAT was the place where the
boom would have gotten the biggest
laugh, and you let it pass!" he roared.
The drummer scratched his Teu-
tonic head. well. it LOGGED serious
dere," he answered.
mo, that's burlesque," said the
manager. Now, every time you see
her fall don't think anything, but
Just wallop that drum. seer"
Chess" said the drummer, and at
every performance thereafter the
boom of the drum never failed.
The following week the bill was
"Sapho." The leading lady took her
part seriously and studied great ef-
fects in business for the big scene"
at the close of the third act when
Jean leaves her. 1t would be great
personal triumph, she thought, and
truly her work was a triumph, and
the audience thought so, too, as the
play proceeded. Not one eye in the
house was dry when the leading lady
threw herself against the door
through which Jean had just passed
with his angry farewell; her form
shook with sobs, and the very atmos,
phere was tense with emotion. Slow
ly she staggered from the door, then,
with great cry of agony, threw up
her hands and, as the curtain descend
ed, fell prone to the floor while q
burly boom came from the bass drum.
Tears fled from the eyes of the
audience, the roar of applause was
stopped as 1t began and only laughter
Wild and long, went up at Sapho's
agony to the accompaniment of q
bass drum, while on the stage the
leading lady bit great piece out
of the floor rug and hoarsely demand
ed to be led to that drummer that she
might wallow in his gore.
