In Honor of DeKalb.

| Camden, Special.-On August 16,
1850, the American army under the
command Of Gen. Horatio Gates met
defeat at the hands Of the army OF
Lord CORVALLIS. 1t was the battle
of Camden-the most disastrous Of
the Reve ion.
Among other striking tragedies Of
that tragic day was the mortal
wounding Of Baron DeKalb, the Ger
man patriot and "citizen Of the
world" who SO nobly espoused the
cause of the American colonies.
In command of remnant of Della
ware and Maryland troops and nun-
aware of the utter rout Of the militia,
he was hotly engaged with Rawdon in
his front. The staunch old hero was
in the thick of the fray afoot, his
horse having been killed under him.
His men were driving tne British be-
fore them and taking prisoners. But
heavy pressure comes upon them
from the left.n CORVALLIS recalls
Tarleton's cavalry and sends them
against DeKalb's gallant remnant.
/ "These turn the scale and the weight
of the numbers prevails, but not with
out a desperate hand-to-hand strug-
gle. Bayonets lock and blades meet.
The woods ring with the clang of STEEL
The cry is raised: 'save the baron
DeKarb.' The bayonets have reached
him. DuBuyson, his aide, embraces
him, to ward eff the thrusts, some OF
which he receives in his own body
But no mercy is shown. DeKalb lies
bleeding from II wounds. The battle
is won and lost"
On Friday afternoon 129 years
after the conflict, the spot where the
dying DeKalb fell was formally mark
ed by an imposing granite boulder.
The local chapter, D. A. R. with char
acteristic patriotism, has patiently
| labored to mark this historic SPOT
and Friday afternoon saw the re
warding Of their noble efforts.
The monument, massive granite
boulder, firmly set in concrete and
rock, bears the following inscription:
"Baron DeKalb, mortally wounded
on this spot, at battle of Camden
Aug. 16, 1880"
The battle ground is eight mites
north Of Camden, and one mile be-
yond Gum swamp, and large num-
Der of patriotic citizens drove ont
and witnessed the exercises. Mr.
Bratton DeLoache delivered stir
ring address.

NEWEST USE FOR NAIL FILE.
Guest at PhiIscelphis Dinner at First czused Great Condensation
 L His Action.

A Philadelphia doctor has uiscoS- cred a brand new use for a nail file which is likely to become much more prominent than the old use A short time ago this doctor was a guest at a dinner in one of Philadelphia's most exclusive houses. When the last course had been served and the cigars were being passed the doctor reached down into his trousers and extracted a penknife. Slowly he opened blade. Everybody gasped. Could it be that Dr. would so far forget himself as to manicure his nails at the table ? All watched with bated breath. Slowly the doctor reached out and secured a match which was near his place. Then he deliberately struck his match on the rough part of the nail file and It his cigar. The suspense was over and the doctor had not comrsitted the frightfuI breach of etiquette which his associates had feared. Now the GUS tom Is spreading fast. for it is less ef- fort than it is to stand on one leg tc strike the match on ones shoe. and decidedly more elegant than the time honored method of striking it on ones trousers.

LAKE ROOSEVELT lys
 WILL BE IMMENSE

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., April 2e.- After the completion of the great Tonto dam now under construction near the junction of the Salt river and Tonto creek, on the Tonto na- |, 1onal forest, this forest will be able to boast of the largest lake in Ari. zona.
 By the impounding of the waters of the two streams a lake approximately 25 miles in length and about two. miles in width at the widest point will be formed This body of water. will in all probability be called Lake Roosevelt, since tine town which has sprung up at the dam site Is already known by that name
 In order to facilitate the admfuis- tration of the Tonto national forest. the government is now figuring on the purchase of ia small gasoline launch of ten-horsepower engine ca. pacity, which will be used in conyev- ing men, horses, supplies and fire lighting material to different points on the lake shore from which the often recurring fires in the near. by mountains can be easily attacked.
 The launch itself cannot, of course carry horses. nor heavy and bulky ioads, but will act as a tugboat and tow cargoes of this nature in large, 1at-bottomed scow or ferry boat. The united States reclamation service is now using a launch of about the same size and capacity, which has been ex. tremely useful in connection with the construction of this immense dam.

 While Professor Pickering has not vet replied to the offer. he said to- ! uight he would enter heartily into any experiments of this kind, but that he would advise those who made the ] ofre. to wat until additional and 1 more conclusive evidence as to the ! inhabitation of Mars had been obtain | ed before spending so large a sum i on experiments which might prove Of 1 but little value.

Professor Pickering said he would advise those behind the movement to establish an observatory of the high 1 est possible efficiency in some favor able location in west Texas, where he | and other celebrated astronomers can carry on extensive observations or ' inc Dlanet within the next few years. ! This could be done. he said, for very small part of the immense sum which it is proposed to spend on the undertaking.
