BATTLEFIELD OF
o. NEW ORLEANS
Described by Duncan M. Duns-
more, Jr, Formerly Of
Reyno1dsvilIe.

About four miles down the Mississippi
from the center OF New Orleans is the
battlefield OF New Orleans, the scene OF
the greatest American victory over the
British, on land, In the war Of 1912.
Its location Is now known as Port
Chalmette, a very small village inhab-
tied chiefly by poor whites and negroes.
The battlefield borders on the river and
stretches back about half mile from
Its banks. The entire plot was formerly
owned by rich Creole named Chal-
mette, and for whom the present town
Is named. The gateway to the grounds
Is at the foot of the levee, and the Wis
itor first sees an old time plantation
mansion, surrounded by we'll kept
lawn, and flanked by ancient muzzle
loading guns set with their breeches In
concrete and their muzzles gaping to-
wards the heavens. There is book in
which the visitors can register on the
porch OF the mansion.
The mansion ls brick, with q porch
entirely around it. 1t Is In fine condi-
tlon, considering that 1t Is a century
old, but that is probably due to the fact
that the care taker OF the battlefield
lives In it..
After passing the mansion, the next
oh;ant nf intaraat ;s tho aor,otar, a.,
which are buried all the men of the
Union forces, both whites and blacks,
killed during the Civil war along the
Mississippi below the Red river. This
cemetery is well laid out and In good
condition. 1t lays Immediately behind
the American earthworks.
They are there to-day just as Andrew
jackson threw them up nearly CEN
tury ago, except that a small part was
levelled to make room for wall around
the cemetery. About hundred yards
beyond the earthworks, and with level
land intervening, is long row Of trees.
These trees mark the British lines,
where they fell in ranks before charg-
ing the Americans, and where General
Pakenham was shot. Just on the other
side OF the trees several thousand Brit
lsh soldiers are buried. There was an
attempt made to have the British gov
ernment buy this land and properly
mark these graves, but the Britons re-
fused to do 80.
Half mile up the river is Q large
square monument probably fifty or sixty
'eet high, with pointed summit. and
OF white marble. This
marks the location OF General Jackson's
headquarters. The house which was
here grew 80 dilapidsted that It was
'szed and this handsome monument
erected on the spot.

Reynoldsville, In Common
With the Country, Has Much
To be Thankful For.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day and
we certainly have much to be thankful
for. The President of the United
States and the Governor OF our own
s.ate have Issued proclamations ap-
pointing Thursday, November 25, "As
a day OF general thanksgiving and call
Ing upon the people on that day, laying
aside their usual vocations, to repair to
their churches and unite In appropriate
services OF praise and Thanksgiving to
Almighty God"
How many will thus observe the day?
Out of a population OF five thousand
people In Reynoldsville not over two
hundred will attend the union
Thanksgiving service in the Baptist
church tomorrow.
AS nation and as individuals, we
have many things to be thankful for.
We have religious liberty; we have
political freedom; our poorer classes
live better, dress better and have more
pleasures than the poor of other nations;
we are not ravaged by war, but peace
makes possible industry and plenty.
We have broad land rich in natural
resources that generation after gener-
alton will discover new riches and de-
velop new industries Of which today we
do not even dream. II we have, or II
we think we have, but little to be
thankful for as individuals, it would
still be wise to cultivate a spirit of
thankfulness for its own sake. The
only absolutely forlorn and irredeem-
able creature on Gods earth is the
thankless man. He is the chronic

ruins OF house, three-fourths Of mile
below the battlefield, where General
Pakenham was taken when he was
wounded, and under its roof he uied.
His body was sent to England In cask
OF rum. The ruins OF the building still
remain and there is an oak tree growing
up through the center OF them.
The writer met an old gentleman lv-
irg nearby who furnished some inter-
esting Information. He stated that the
British, when landing on the shores OF
Lake Borgue, an arm of Lake Ponchar-
train, could not get their boats near
enough to solid ground to land the
troops, SO they dug canal. 1t still re-
mains and is called "Pakenham's Canal. -"
Chalmette, the plantation owner,
turned his plantation over to General
Jackson to do as he pleased with it, in
erecting defenses on 1t. Jackson seized
very large quantity OF cotton bales
and barrels OF sugar and used them for
breastworks on his line OF defense. The
irate owners OF the cotton and sugar
came down and demanded its return.
jackson asked them II they could
identify their property. They replied
that they could and as fast as each one
picked out his cotton and sugar, Jack
son handed him rifle and said, "Here,
defend it,"
The American soldiers admired PAX.
enham and said he was brave man,
but their admiration did not interfere
with their putting him where he would
never command another army.
During the fight a British soldier
leaped over the American ramparts and
seizing rifle started firing at his late
comrades, and fought like demon dur.
ing the remainder OF the battle. His
name was Mckinney and it later de-
veloped that he had been forced into
the British army against his will and
chose this way OF leaving It, He mar
ried an aunt of the above mentioned old
gentleman, and settled down In New
Orleans. The informant said that ''Un-
ole Saddler" was drummer boy In the
battle, and 1t was from him the most OF
this Information was obtained.
When the river Is high, and probably
all the time, the bodies OF the Union
dead must be under water, as all the
dead, now, are buried In concrete vaults
above ground. The reason for this Is
that water Is reached but few feet be-
low the surface OF the ground. The
Jews, however, bury their dead In the
ground regardless of these conditions.

Reynoldsville Won
A Disputed Game
Touchdown Made Near Close
Of Contest Was Fair and
Must Count.

The Dubois High School football
team was defeated In game with the
Reynoldsville team at this place
Wednesday afternoon, but the visit
ing team and the Dubois papers claim
1t was tie game. The score was
s to 0.
Charles Robertson, the referee, says:
"The final dispute arose over the touch
down. Bohren was called on an end
run. He succeeded In getting past
every man ION the Dubois team but
Dunsmore, who was fully ten yards
from goal. Dunsmore made an attempt
to tackle, but missed, and Bohren kept
going towards the goal at full speed.
Before reaching the goal line and with
In two yards OF the goal, he slipped
to one knee, and fell over the line for
touchdown. The Courier states that
Dunsmore tackled him, but he was fully
ten yards away when Bohren crossed
the line."
The Courier says: ut really should
have been shame for bunch of men
to enter the game with the intentions
expressed before hand Of knocking the
heads off Of them kids" The Courier
would leave the impression that the
Reynoldsville team was composed Of
men Of mature years. Two of the
Reynoldsville players in Wednesdays
game have passed the twenty .one year
mile stone, but the other players are
mot yet OF age and it will be several
years before some OF them can vote
Several of them are high school boys.
1t was not the old Indian football team
that defeated the Dubois team here
lon 18th inst. The real truth OF the
matter is the visitors we're outclassed,
and the team and Dubois newspapers
should be willing to own up that the
team was fairly defeated.

To Test Forestry Rights.

The bill prepared by Attorney John
T. Barnett authorizing him to test the
legality of the forestry service rules.
and the so-called encroachment OF the
federal government upon states rights
in this respect, is sweeping in its char
acter. Not only does it permit an in
vestigation and test of the forestry
service ruses and laws, but also of the
federal agricultural and interior de-
partments. -
Perhaps the most drastic feature of
1t is that 1t authorizes the attorney
general to commence and prosecute
government officials under the civil
and criminal statutes. wherever it is
found that they have encroached upon
state rights or usurped them Ii also
authorizes him to intervene on behalf
Of the state OF Colorado in any case
brought by an individual or association
against the government, or in any case
brought by the government against in
dividuals or associations. For the pur-
pose of prosecution $4,000 is appro-
priated by the bill to allow him to carry
on the work. The attorney general
did not believe that he possessed the
power to prosecute under the present
statutes, SO in order to carry out the
recommendations in Governor Shat
roth's inaugural address. he drew the
special bill.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
AT COLORADO'S CAPITAL
Militia Bill Considered.

The morning session of the House
Monday was taken up with the second
reading of H. B. II, Strickland, to
provide that the rules governing the
state militia shall be the same as
those of the national government, as
provided in the Dick law. According
to that enactment the national gov
ernment will give aid to the national
guard in those states only that make
the organization of the state guard
conform to that of the regular army.
The action was taken so that, in case
of war when the state guard shall be
called upon to take the field, no reor-
ganization will be necessary. Troops
may then simply step into the place
assigned them.
No general objection was made to
the bill, members merely trying to so
amend it that nothing would be over
not overlook the opportunity to. ex-
press their disapproval of the guard
as whole, and especially of the part
OF the present law which gives the
governor the right to call out the
guard in cases of emergency.
Mr.. Metz of Pueblo, referred to the
troubles at Colorado City and Cripple
Creek several years ago, asserting that
the governors at those times had mis-
used the powers placed in their hands
Mr.. Hurd of Boulder, said he was in
favor of law and order, but believed
it could be better maintained without
the militia than with it. Some day il
may give lot of you free rides out OF
the state" He added, You may tel
Teddy the First that we don't wan,
his $4,000 year, if that is the object
of this bill to get that"
Mr.. Bellesfield sought to have the
salary of the adjutant general set al
$1,000, the present figure. instead OF
the $2,400 provided in the bill, motion
that was lost. Mr.. Bellesfield also
made some strong comments on the
use of the guard by past governors
holding that it had been hired to men
with plenty of money.
The bill prevented the appointment
of old G. A. R. men as adjutant gen
eral but an amendment was adopted
so that any person serving one year
as commissioned officer in either
the United States army or the Colo.
rado national guard may hold the
office.

banks and to bar any officer or direc-
tor of bank, or a corporation in which
he is interested, from borrowing from

Game and Fish Bills.

The joint committees of House and
senate on fish and game held an ex-
tended session Monday night to listen
to the expressed wishes OF many in
terested in the legislation before those
committees. The greater part of the
evening was taken up with discussions
of the bill to amend the present law
concerning the manner of paying the
bills of the department The Humane
society made strong plea for closed
season on deer for five years. Other
arguments were in relation to the
hunting licenses, fishing licenses and
the time for permitting hunting. A
plan to have fish licenses for every
one who shall visit the streams met
with strong opposition, as it would
compel each boy with his twine string
and bent hook to take out a license
or suffer punishment for angling for
minnows.
Game wardens asked change in the
law, establishing a residence period
for those who wish to take out hunting
licenses. An instance was given of
where hunters from Kentucky last year
took out residence licenses, and when
arrested for hunting, declared their
intention of remaining in the state,
which was sufficient under the law.
