handful of cavalry and was designed
merely as defense for the citizens in
the upper tier of counties in Virginia.
But, If we may Judge from results,
nothing could have been further nom
Mosby's mind than acting on the de-
fengive. He must have laughed in his
sleeve when he read his orders.
During the first few weeks he exer
cised, as it were, with few sentative
pecks at the enemy. Then on the night
of March 8, 1868, he made n swoop-
and next morning found himself fam
Gus. This is how it happened.
MAKES sToUeHToN PRISONER.
At Fairfax Court House 10 miles
south of Washington, was encamped
General Stoughton with several thou
sand troops. Behind him at the capital
were many regiments; in his front at
Fredericksburg and between him and
Lee lay Hookers army of more than
100000. Stoughton on that fatal night
slumbered as securely as though he
had been in the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
But that morning Mosby, with 20
men, had determined to get Stoughton.
At sunset he was 80 miles away. At
midnight he began running into
Stoughton's pickets, gobbling them as
he went, and at in the morning he
entered Fairfax, captured the senti-
nels at the generals door, marched
upstairs, walked the unfortunate officer
and, capturing him there in the midst
of his sleeping army, carried him safely
out, along with two score prisoners
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-09-03

and without supplies the troops could
not fight.
A notable instance of this was Mos
by's attack on Sheridans main train
in the autumn of 1864, when that gene
RAJ was moving up the Shenandoah
Valley for the purpose of cutting off
Richmond on the west. Lee, who had
no force available to meet him, sent
urgent word to Mosby to delay him at
all hazards.
1t vas what is called in racing par
lance a 100 to 1 shoe, for Sheridan
had 10000 men, Mosby 600. Nothing
daunted, Mosby took half that number,
and at dawn one morning attacked
Sheridan's trains as they we're moving
out of Berryville, Va.
Fortune favored him with a heavy
fog, and in the midst the thunder of
his few cannon and the yells of his
pistollng troopers sounded to the sur.
prised escort and affrighted Transfers
like Satan's hosts. They fled after a
brief and bloody fight, leaving in his
hands hundreds of fat wagons and
beef and cattle, which were safely over
the mountains and on the road to
Lees hungry army at Richmond be-
fore Sheridan, ten miles away" got
news of it. Thus chiseled out of his
dinner and jolted out of his regular
mealtimes, Sheridan was compelled TO
turn and spend six valuable weeks in
preparing a fresh start.
HE NEVER SURRENDERED.
His warfare was peculiarly his own.
The enemy could never reach him
save by his own consent, because if
he did not want to fight he scattered
his command far and wide along the
countryside, to assemble them again
whenever propitious occasion for an
attack presented itself.
1t has been charged that his men
went in disguise or in Federal uniform
This was never the case; they always
fought in the confederate gray
Mosby never surrendered. When the
news came that Lee had surrendered.
Mosby waited a fortnight to learn tbs
fate OF Johnston's army in North Caro-
lima. Then he assembled his command
and dismissed them. Each man took
his way home, with nothing but the
horse on which he was riding.
After the war enemies OF Mosby cir
culated the story that he had deserted
the South, referring to his political
support of the Republican party. One
evening in the sos, when he was living
in San Francisco, lady naively asked
him if it was true that he had deserted
Lees army.

army deserted me-"
lis support of General Grant for the
Presidency in 1872 brought upon him
the bitter enmity of the South, which
has only of late passed away. That he
was contentious in this none

will row deny, He had all to lose,
nothing to gain.
REFERENCES GRANT AND LEE.
The friendship that sprung up be-
tween Grant and him on account of
his course then lasted until the for
mer's death. One of the last letters, if
not the very last, Grant ever wrote
was addressed to Governor Stanford
president of the Southern Pacific. in
Mosby's behalf when he was at the
point of death at Mount McGregor.
This without Colonel Mosby's know
ledge. There are two men of whom he
always speaks in tones which voice
the reverence in which he holds them
Grant and Lee.
In 1878 he was sent. by President
Hayes as Consul to Hongkong. White
there he addressed himself to purify
ing the consular service in Asia with
most gratifying results, making many
enemies among the hogs whose feet
he pulled out of the governmental
trough.
When he returned he entered,
through General Grants influence. the
service of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, in which he remained until about
10 year ago, when he returned to the
service ofthe Government in the Land
Office. 1t was while thus engaged that
he lroused the hatred of powerful
hnrnng trbn i
both Government and settlers out of
millions of acres, to such an extent
that his life wos oftentimes in serious
danger
At this he laughed, however. "Why.
if these fellows kill me-" he would
say, everybody will know who did
it, and why'-which would be cold
post-morten satisfaction to the average
Government employee!
Later he was transferred to the De-
partment of Justice, where he re-
NAMED until his recent dismissal. 1t
has been stated in some newspapers
that this was upon the ground of SUI
pernuatiOn. To those who have lately
seen and talked with him this seems
to be a piece of grim humor; he is
as active in mind and body as when
he raided Sheridan's trains or fluttered
the land thieves of the Western prair-
les.
VIGOROUS AT 73.
He is now 70 years of age, of me-
dunn height and build, and, while his
hair is white, his eye is as flashing
and his manner as energetic as when
in his prime. He has a sharp and
ready wit, well known to those who
have felt it's sting. Before he went
to China one who sought to create
ill feeling between him and a certain
former official of the Confederate
Army approached him and said
Colonel So-and-So says he's getting
mighty tired of all this talk about

rites at Culpeper
REPORTED DIRECTLY TO LEE.
Those of the North have been prone
to think of Mosby as a half lawless
raider, owing allegiance to no one, fol
lowing his own bent in raiding ana
plundering. AS a fact, he was closer
to General Lee, the commander in
chief, than any other officer of his
rank he reported direct to him, in
stead of through the intermediate
superior officers.
All his raiding campaigns that ap-
peared to Northern eyes as merely
INDUCED in for wanton destruction
were made with a fixed purpose and
in accordance with the general Or
ders OF Lee. If Mosby grew peculiarly
obnoxious in harassing the enemys
rear it was because Lee had ordered
him to make himself SO.
RAIDING sHERIDAN's SUPPLIES.
Another weak member of the vast
armies that he especially addressed
his attention to was the supply train
An attack upon these effected a double
purpose; it not only provided the
ragged and hungry Southerners with
food and other necessities, but it COM
relled large detachments to be made
to protect them while en- route. More,
it oftentimes seriously upset the plans
of the opposing generals, for without
supply trains there were no supplies,

DRINK BILL OF BIG CITIES
Over $41,o0o,o0o Paid for License
Fees In United States--Wide
Extent Of Traffic.

report recently issued from Wash
ington shows an enormous drink bill
for the great cities of the United
states, where the liquor traffic main
tains its firmest hold. over forty-one
million dollars is paid in the large
cities of the United States tol license
fees. The extent to which the drink
ing men help TO pay the expense OF
government In these cities is indica-
ted by census report covering the
finances of the country for the year
1908 in the cities having population
OF $4,000 or more. There were, at that
time, I5S OF such cities, but the com
plete figures were available for only
l5l OF them, and these figures showed
tnat IN those cities the licensed drink
ing places paid an aggregate of SAL
95O.1S8. This was an increase of al
most 100000 over the preceding
year and Of about $11 900 900 over the
year 1905. The Increase was due to
the large fees exacted by most of the
cities While licenses decreased the
license fees were increased to more
than cover the difference.

by law there are no fewer than 67131.
md this Is decrease within three
years of about 1000. The falling of

number of cities went dry" or the
15S places, "a had become mo license"
cities when the canvass was made.
The change was most marked in the
south Atlantic states, and least in the
Rocky mountain region.
The states claiming the largest
number of saloons to the population
were Texas, Wisconsin and New York,
while Pennsylvania, Massachusetts
and Nebraska claimed the smallest
number in proportion to the people to
be supplied. Galveston had one H.
censed bar to every 1873 of her people.
Milwaukee one to every 141 and Ho-
boken one to every IT'S. In Philadel-
phia, the freest of large cities, there
was only one drinking place to every
75S persons. Lincoln, Neb, had one
to every 2,03S.
Liquor licenses and taxes formed
more than 13 per cent. of the general
revenue in the cities of Ohio and
more than ten per cent. in the cities
of California. New York city received
$7,927,3O0. Chicago $7252,687 and
Philadelphia 1,969,590 from this

BABYS SCALP CRUSTED

Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a
box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie OF Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
q very short time she was well. She Is
now sixteen years Of age and a pic
ture Of health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatment, after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. j. Fish and Ella NJ.

BAN ON ALCOHOL IN TURKEY
Importation Of Wines and Beers Con-
tanning More Than Certain
Amount Is Barred.

The Turkish government has pro-
hibited the importation of wines and
beers containing more than a certain
proportion Of alcohol, and the import
alton, manufacture and consumption
OF all beverages containing alcohol
not made from grape or grape pro-
ducts. Only at two or three special
ports on the Mediterranean is the i'm
portation Of alcohol for scientific pur.
poses permitted and special plants
for the operation of de-naturing 1t are
there located and are under strict Of
fetal regulation.
The total abstinence from alcoholic
drink enJoined upon Mohammedans
is rocked in the principles of religion.
Mahomet is said to have been led to
put the prohibition of intoxicants in
the Koran by an incident which oc-
Cured to himself. Passing through a
village one day, he was delighted at
the merriment of a crowd OF persons
enjoying themselves with drinking at
wedding party; but being obliged to
return by the same way the next
morning, he was shocked to see the
ground drenched with blood. Asking
the cause, he was told that the com.
pany. having drunk to excess, fell to
quarrelling, and slaughtered one an
other. From that time his mind was
made up; the mandate went forth
from Allah that no child of the faith.
full should touch wine on pain of be-
ing shut out from the joys OF Para
disc. The simple truth was. of course,
that Mahomet foresaw there would be
no stability to the religion and EN-
pire he was building up If the use of
ardent spirits was permitted to his
followers.
