The fields Of Gettysburg are green
Where once the red blood ran:
The oak leaves throw q dancing sheen
Where perished horse and man:
The saplings whisper on the hill
Where rolled fiery tide,
And song birds splash the laughing rill
Where armies fought and died.
A marble sentry scans the field
And granite cannOns fr0wn
Where dusty regiments once wheeled
And shot and shell aincd down,
But DER the sentry's martial face
Now sits the cooling dove,
Breaking the silence Of the place
With murmuring notes Of love.
The only colors In the glades
Are those OF buds and flowers:
The swift aud sudden fusilladcs
Are made by passing showers.
Huge hay carts now are chariot cars;
Aud soldiers, boys at play;
The only campfires are the stars:
The fiery glory. day.
Thank God that all things In life
Together move for right;
That Night and her half sister, Strife,
Shall die In Joy and light:
That through mystery above
His mercies ne'er shall cease;
That out Of hate shall issue love,
And out Of war come peace.

CARACAS, Saturday. April A.-After

Of public works of Venezuela. Gen. Cara
bano, a new contract has been framed,
which, with few changes. probably Will

Terms of the Contract.

The dispute between Castro and the
French Cable Company was the direct
cause OF the break in diplomatic rela-

SCARED INTO PROFOUND SLEEP
FRIGHTENED YOUNG MAN
CANNOT BE RoUSED.
No Tried Means Has Been Able to
Awake Youth Whose Case Puz-
zles Physicians.

PHILADELPHIA, May 5.-When Louis
Cohen, a young Russian. who boards with
Hvman Weinstein at 6Oe Green street, Is
frightened he almost Immediately falls
asleep.
Once somolent. there is no telling when
he will awaken again. 1t may be days
or it NAV be weeks At present he Is In
the Roosevelt Hospital and is sleeping as
though wound up for month to come.
The case is one of the most puzzling,
the hospital physicians say. that they
have come across. Every effort has been
made to awaken him without success.
Sleep Disturbers All Fail.
To electric shocks he has proved i'm
pervious. Douches of ice water have not
disturbed him. nor have baths of almost
scalding water. Not even the pricking
of pins has served to rouse him.
The doctors have decided now to sit
down and wait until the young man has
finished his nap.
A peculiar feature of Cohens affliction
is that he seems to be able to sleep with
out food for an indefinite period without
suffering.
Three months ago, when he dropped
into doze the last time he was fright
ened, he slept for two weeks on a stretch.
When he finally awoke he dressed. picked
up his dinner bucket and went to work
as though nothing had happened.
This time Cohens nap was superinduced
by an experience he had with a police
man. He was out late Monday night and
did not seek his home until o'clock yes
terday morning.
Policeman Scares Him.
When he reached the house he found
he had forgotten his key. Accordingly,
he pounded on the door. While waiting
for some one to open he was grasped by
a policeman.
What are you doing here?" the cop
asked gruf1y.
Cohen trembled. The appearance OF
Weinstein saved him further trouble. but
he staggered, Weinstein says. and was
barely able to reach his bed. Then he
threw himself down. half dressed. and
went sound to sleep.
In the opinion OF the physicians who
worked with him all of last evening the
young mans trouble is of a nervous
nature. Following fright or shock. II
would seem there Is q reflex action which
leads to sleep almost Immediately.
Against this tendency Cohen seems un-
able to exert any mental force. This is

of a guide. They heard of the thinfest
and insisted on visiting it. The sweet
things were SO tickled at the sight of
the lean applicants that they just burst
into applause when they saw them toiling
away over their questions.
'Oh, look at that dear little one over In

thin as anything, isn't he, ma?
Yes. Clara, but he isn't half as thin as
your fathers second cousin John. He
was terribly thin and the doctors said
that he'd never live to grow up, but ne
took some of the flesh medicine that
Uncle John made and he got SO fat that
they had to increase the dose and make
him thin again. Oh, mister, please tell

But the examiner explained that the
thin men had to stay So long in very

II he should begin to flesh up en- route he
might never get out, and then they would
all be In terrible predicament. The ex-
aminer Is a thin man himself and is
strong for keeping government jobs for
thin men, He says that the real reason
for inserting the anti-fat notice in the
examination papers was TO bolster up the
strength of the thin mems hold on the
government and had no bearing on the
cramped positions that the traveller in the
refrigerating car will have to assume.
But, of course. being thin himself, he
might be prejudiced.

HISTORIC TOWN SWEPTBY FIRE
SIXTEEN BUILDINGS BURNED
AT BENEDICT, MD.
Most Disastrous Blaze in Charles
County-Ha1f Of Village on the
Patuxent in Ashes.

LA PLATA, Nd. May 5.-Probably the
most disastrous fire that ever occurred
In Charles county was that which broke
out in the village Of Benedict, on the
Patuxent river Monday afternoon, and
resulted in practically the destruction Of
half Of the village. The fire originated
in the storeroom occupied by Hyman
Washinsky. and before 1t was gotten un-
der control sixteen buildings were in
ashes. OF this number twelve were dwell
ing houses, three stores and the other a
Methodist church. only recently built.
Perhaps the greatest loss was suffered
by Augustine M. Bowling. vice president
and general manager of the Woodlawn
Cemetery Company of Baltimore city,
who owned the store building occupied by
Washinsky and five of the dwelling
houses, practically all of Mr.. Bowling's s
extensive property holdings in the strick-
en- village. The dwelling houses and stores
Of B. +. Henderson and M. T. Johnson
were destroyed, as were the dwelling
houses Of ]. E. Stewart, r. E. Farrall,
Peter Moran and William Roach.
Many Homeless Families.
In less than two hours all of the above
mentioned buildings were destroyed. The
fire is said to have been caused by the
upsetting Of a coal-oil stove in the Wash
insky store. The total loss is estimated at
between $4,000 and $4,000. partially COW
cred by insurance.
Many of the buildings that were de-
stroyed by the fire had been erected only
a few years.
The condition Of the village at this
time is most deplorable. as there are
hardly enough houses remaining to ac-
commodate the families that were rem
dered homeless by the fire.
Benedict was Incorporated as a town in
172S during the administration of Bene-
dict Leonard Calvert. who was the lord
proprietary and governor Of the province.
II was ramed in his honor. In his march
on Washington during the war of 1872
Gen. Ross passed through the town.
According 10 the latest census 1t has a
population OF 15O.
Fostered by the Oyster Industry.
In 1888 the town was visited by an epi-
demic of typhoid fever. to which six of its
residents fell victims. The cause of the
disease was traced to the town pump.
near which was barnyard. the source of
the infection.
The town is situated on the southern
