BRAVE SOLDIERS.
Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt
to Save the CoIors.

Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt
to Save the CoIors.
In days gone by the Zulus were
the boldest fighters among all the ma
tives Of South Africa, and it was not
until they had been defeated in sew
eral battles that they would live in
peace with white people.
In 1878 $4,000 Of the Zulus attacked
and killed a regiment of British sol
diers, and a most heroic deed was the
attempt made by three British SOL
diers to save the two flags, or colors,
belonging to the regiment.
When it was seen that the Zulus
were so many that there was no hope
Of keeping them at bay the colonel Of
the British regiment called to a young
officer whose name was Lieutenant
Melvill and said, "You will take
charge Of the colors, Melvill, and try
to get away from here"
The lieutenant saluted and took into
his hands the two colors of his regi-
ment Then, with another officer and
a soldier, all mounted on horses, he
suddenly dashed away with his pre-
ciOus burden.
They were at once seen by the keen
sighted Zulus, however, and after
long chase the three gallant English
men, fighting to the last, were killed
by the enemy.
Some time afterward one Of the flags
was found near 2 rocky stream, where
4
it was taken to England and presented
to Queen Victoria.
And in memory Of the three brave
soldiers who had died while defending
It the queen placed a wreath Of i'm
mortelles on the staff which held the
dag.-London Mail.

THE ONLY VICTIMS.
An Adventure In the Surf on the West
Coast of Africa.

An Adventure In the Surf on the West
Coast of Africa.
West Africa is known to all naviga-
tors for its few harbors and its heavy
surf, which at certain seasons RACES
like a battle, defying the white man
who would approach its shores. The
author Of THE Jungle Folk Of Africa"
Mr.. r. f. Milllgan, tells Of a success
full, and to the observers an amusing,
effort to reach shore at point where
the surf die not seem to be impossible.
One day when the beach seemed
much better than usual the captain
and the ships surgeon ventured ashore.
The captain afterward narrated the
adventure of their landing to a small
but enthusiastic audience. He said
that after waiting outside the surf half
an hour the headman suddenly gave
the order and in a moment they were
In the breakers, riding on the top of
one Of them and speeding toward the
shore at the rate of seventy miles an
hour"
The captain was In the bow Of the
boat, well braced and cushioned. But
when the boat struck the beach with
the force Of a railway collision the
doctor was thrown violently over two
thwarts into the captains bosom,
whom he clasped about the neck with
a steel-like grip.
The next moment another breaker
picked the boat up and hurled it upon
the beach, throwing both captain and
doctor to a perfectly safe distance,
where they sprawled upon the sand.
The doctor, still hugging the captains
neck and very much frightened, ex-
claimed:
"Oh, captain, dear captain, is there
anybody killed but you and me27

Captain Last to Seek Safety.
BIG TIME IN WAR CANOE.
Mrs. Frank n. Larned Gives BOYS
Annual Treat

Forty-fve poor and ragged boys be-
tween the ages of ten and seventeen years
are having the time of their lives on the
river this afternoon, thanks to the efforts
of Mrs. Frank H. L.arned wife of the
assistant commissioner general of immi-
grafton, and Capt. D. s. Edmonds and
Fred Watts, of the Analostan Boat Club.
Four years ago Mrs. Larned, who Is an
active charity worker along lines of her
own, was endeavOring to find some way
to give an outing to poor boys who were
too old to enjoy the benefits of Camp
Good Will, too big to get in on. the free
childrens excursions given yearly on the
river, and too poor and too shabby to
share in the benefits of other river out
ings. Fred Watts a clerk in Mr.. Larned's
Office, then as now a member of the Ana
lostan Boat Club, suggested a trip up
the river in the clubs war canoe, swim
and a game of base ball. 1t did not take
long to raise fund for sandwiches and
ginger ale for refreshments. and Capt.
Edmonds soon provided the war canoe.
Under the chaperonage of Mr.. and Mrs.
Larned the party had a fifteen-mile ride
on the river; the boys were treated to
swim and aquatic sports on the beach just
Potomac. and on their return, baseball
game on the lawn in front of the boat
house. This program has been repeated
each year but each year finds the party
larger than the year before.
This year it has grown to forty-tive,
exclusive of those in charge of the excur-
sion. Shortly after o'clock this after
noon the great war canoe of the boat club
and Capt. Edmonds' private launch left
the boathouse Tor spin down the river
first, after which the boats turned their
heads upstream to the scene of the an
nual festivities.
The boys are gathered from various
parts of the city through the instrument
tality of the Associated Charities and

have wondered what has happened to
this valuable and interesting government
news service in recent weeks. Inquiries
have been received by the National Pro-

consular officials and other authentic
sources concerning foreign conditions and
opportunities for our trade abroad. these
publications have been studied daily by
wide circle of business men. OF late this
daily bulletin has dwindled to small pro-
portions. with resultant disappointment
to those who looked 10 it for information
in their fields Inquiry at Washington
develops the fact that this sudden stop
page of valuable service is due 10 the
general desire for economy which has
prevailed in official circles under the new
administration.
Now, economy is a good thing and its
practice should be encouraged. But
when it comes to trying TO save few
paltry dollars on the governments print
ing bill by reducing this daily trade bulle-
Iy destroy it's value it would seem that
the administration economizers might
have gone step too far.
Losses Suffered by Trade.
The cotton seed oil trade has suffered
losses In it's export trade through recent
~ enlarged competition of cheaper and
inferior oils and fats. Thie has been par
ticularly true of the lately developed men,

bean has met with favor abroad in ter
ritory where cotton seed oil formerly held
the market, aud it is cheaper and has
received a mpre favorable tariff rate in

oil trade severe jolt. At the urgent So
Iieitation of the cotton seed oil industry
i'm this country the government took up
an investigation OF this question, and 1t
Is understood that number of valuable
reports have been received.
The trade has anXiOuSly awaited publi-
cation Of this information. but thus far
it has not been forthcoming. Whether
its failure to appear Is due to the same
policy of economy which has ernasculated

The cotton oil trade would like to see
the authorities make public this informa-

What is the object of putting trained
and expert special agents in the field,
and of urging our consular service to
pursue prac.i ical trade Investigations, IL
the reports of these men are to molder

and Lessg decided to swim out beyond
the breakers. They were both expert
swimmers and big crowd on the beach
watched them as they swan out further
and further. Suddenly Lessig. who was
little distance behind Miss Paul, was
seen to throw up his hands and sink.
The girl hurried to his assistance ana
started to drag him to shore.
Persons on the beach, however. could
see that although she was churning the
water hard i'm her efforts, she was being
gradually beaten back by the tide. A
faint cry of help came to the beach from
the struggling girl. but there was no boat
at hand.
One girl started to swim out 10 tne
rescue. but the heavy surf beat her back.
Finally some one telephoned to the
United States life-saving crew at Holly
Beach, but a few minutes after the mes
sage was sent Lessig was seen to sink
and a moment afterward Miss Paul had
also disappeared.
A boat from the life-saving station in
charge of Capt. Downs arrived a few
minutes later. They searched for over
an hour, but could find no trace of the
bodies.
Miss Paul, who was twenty-one years
old. was. the siepdaughter of Clarence
Jeffries of Philadelphia. Lessig was
thirty-fve years old and was the son of
the ,late George b. Lessig, the banker and

extinguished by the animal firemen. The

to July 81 there had been 14.721 visitors
the largest number for any half season
on record. In 1908. the year of the Port

park during the season from June : to
September 25, and If the present inflow
continues the total for this year should
be nearly 3O.SOO. or 1000 more than the
highest record. and nearly twice as many
as the average.
The following statement shows the
