Jnne Sd, 1861.

DR.. John I. Huff, formerly of Buck
harmon, now of Parsons, was at Phil
ippi on the Sd day Of June, 1861, and
we learn was in the NJ. E, church at
the point where the Baptist church
now stands, attending to some sick
soldiers, when the boom Of the frat
cannon on what is now college Hill, "
announced that the federals were ap-
preaching the town, Of Phillppi, and
and gave warning that the Confede-
rates had better be stirring to action.
Dir. Huff was the first surgeon OF
either side, so far as is known, to am
putate the limb of a solGier.
In his hurry to get out of Philippl
with his soldiers, neglected to Obtain
his surgicsl instruments, and In am
putating the limb of Leroy 2. Danger
field, at Brewery, he was forced to use
a saw which he obtained from cdbl-
net maker. Mr.. Dangerield recovered.
DR.. Huff still has the little saw, aud
it will be here the coming June I'd ia

tie h Anniversary of the First Battle

Fay was captured in New York early
in April, 1910, after desperate battle
with detectives. In his possession was
found trunk containing $4,000 in
stamps, and So 900 in cash. He fought
the detectives for two hours, when he
faced the camera for Identification
twisting his face out of shape, and roll
ing ON the floor. Efforts to take his
measurements were futile.
The detectives in New York found
two trunks and satchel belonging TO
the robbers, from which they,recovered
az additional $4,000, and the amount
being sued for IN Tacoma is the differ
ence between the amount already re-
covered and the $S5 900 stolen from the
Richmond postoffice.
IN one of the trunks was what the
detectives described as the most elabo-
rate and highly finished set of burglar
tools they have ever seen. Each tool
was in a separate case of Russian
leather. Even the rougher jimmies
were wrapped in tissue paper, and the
drills we're of the hardest modern "high
speed" tool steel. With them were
set of lock picks, some Of which were
eighteen inches long, and six sets OF
shelton keys.
More interesting yet was manu-.
script showing that the compiler had
in mind a wholesale raid Oh Southern
anu "SsttEl Dhuho' Luxurious VI
baaks were listed, and with them APP
peared the names and addresses OF the
treasurers, cashiers, and janitors, aud
their habits and hours. There was
particularly long item about bank at
Nashville, Tenn. There is still another
trunk to be found.
For six years police in all parts CT
the world searched for Eddie Fay. An
accmulative reward of$50, 900 has hung
over his head, and was payable Tor his
arrest dead or alive. His thefts are
said to have been more than 81 ,0C0, 900
and his present fortul e, great part OF
which is invested in Chicago real es
tate, is estimated at from 100000 to
100000. He kept string OF race
b rses, racing them under the name
of Frederick Cunningham. He posed
as ''srorty" broker and banker in
London.
Fay and an accom- plice named Harris
were arrested through ruse. Detect
ives, attired as bsggagemen, had watch
ed their trunks from the time they left
Richmond. Harris went to the depot
to claim the booty-laden boxes, while
Fay remained outside. When Harris
stepped to the desk the detectives
bounced upon him. A desperate battle
followed. Fay started to run, but was
overtaken and beaten into submission.

Crossing the Bar.
By Alfred Tennyson.


Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
Aud may there be no moaning o: the
bar,
When | put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep
Teo full for sound and foam;
When that which drew from out tie
boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight aud evening bell,
And after that the dark;
And may there be no sadness of fare
well,
When embark.
For tho from out our bourne of Time
and Place
The flood may bear me far,
| hope &c see my Pilot face to face
When have crossed the bar.

%PENNYPACKER RAPS ASTOR
CALLS PROPOSED MARRIAGE A
MORAL MENACE.
Former Governor Asserts Financler's
Former Wife Left Him Because
of Other Women.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Denouncing the
propesd marriage of Col. John Jacob
Aston to Madeline Force, his 1S-year-
old fiance, as a moral n and
charging that Colonel Aston s first
wife secured a divorce because her
husband kept a harem," former Gov
ernor Samuel w. Pennypacker OF
Pennsylvania, head Of the National
Congress of Uniform Divorce Laws,
attacked the alliance in a %scorching
interview. He said:
From my own personal viewpoint
I think the proceedings are disgrace
full. Here is the ase Col. John ia
cob Aston came here to Philadelphia
and married a young woman from an
old and reputable family. Later On
he kept a harem in New York and
she left him. Then the court handed
down its decree. Colonel Aston was
forbidden to marry in New York, but
in a short time he meets a young wo.
man whose family has been dazzled
by his diamonds and his wealth, and
he at once, according to report, has
taken steps to go into some other
commonwealth to marry her. l think
it is all very sad and very, very dis
graceful.
"of course, this particular case is
only an incident, and I mention it sim.
ply because of the widespread pub.
licity given to 1t, and therefore the
harmful effect it will have through
suggestions.
Indeed, it has come to pass that
men take women and women take
men nowadays on the principle thai
if they don't suit they can soon gel
freed of the bargain and hunt aroun;
for other partners. The case of the
Astors is conspicuous and terribly
harmful. It is all because of our la.
divorce laws. What we need is rigid
uniform state statutes, not nationa
legislation. This is a situation tina
the states should regulate, not thu
federal government"

NAUGHTY. but Nice.


Edith, who is eight years old, was
invited to a children's party. Her
blonde hair was perfectly straight, but
becomingly arranged, and she started
off In high feather.
But on her return she vas rather
silent, and, on being questioned as to
her experience, said:
II had a nice time, but 1t would
have been nicer If my hair was kinky.
All the other girls hair was kinky,
and / shan't 60 to another party I'M
less my hair is fixed in kinks"
So the next week, when another in
vitation came for the little girl, her
hair was curled and fiuffed out in the
most approved style.
Then her mother led her to a mir
ror, and said: There, Edith, what do
you think of it?"
Edith regarded herself soberly for
a moment, and then, turning SLOW
ly around, she said: TITS vain, but l
like it."
