Two Ways to Attain Fame

His way was in bloody lane where
clanking cassions splashed along; his
goal, the line where blazing guns
laughed out their song of death. On,
on he went His ears were filed with
sounds of quick commands, bugle blasts,
discordant drums. No futtering fear
was in his heart, no thought of home,
NO specter of the dread despair that
waited at the hearth if he never came
again. To him there was no warning
in the bullet S deadly hiss. Youth trod
all reason under foot; ambition saw all
glory overhead. On, on he went to WOO
his bride, the priceless jewel, Fame.
Another, in garret, sighed for
Fame. Crusts were his portion and his
rainment only rags. Hermit like, he
toiled alone; nor cold nor hunger even
daunted him. He marshalled all his
hosts, and visions came and went. On,
on he toiled IN the snowfakes that drift
ell in and touched his hands he read a
message from the world without; all
white, all cheerless. AS a chrysalis, his
fancy wove and spun and made its gar
ments wondrous, then burst in splendor
OH a waiting world
Both fought the fight; each in his
way. One for an heroic shape of bronze,
one for speechless marble face Each
for an epitaph-that all the ages in the
dust of Time might know he did and

COMMITTEES
Delaware's Part in
the Civil War

The recent anniversary of the Battle
Of Antietam called forth the following
from the State Sentinel of Dover, which
gives Us interesting sidelights on Della
wares part in the great rebellion:
Memories of the battle of Antietam
to those Delawareans whose soldier he
r0es fell on that field, brings sadness.
If We remember Alright that was the
first battle of the Civil War in which
Delaware troops were engaged. The
First Delaware Regiment received its
baptism of fire then, and the first of
Delaware 5 dead and wounded came from
there The whole State mourned for its
dead mingled with joy over the news of
victory achieved. The first large dele
CATION from this state to attle-tield,
to search for the dead and care for the
wounded, hurried away. Then came days
Of waiting-days of agOnizized suspense,
Then came the bodies of the dead. Who
that lived through the experiences OF
those days of mingled grief and joy, can
forget them? Time has assuaged the
gFiefs, and now Delaware rejoices that
she too was represented by heroes OF
the field and in the battle that gave lib
erty to the African slaves, as she has
been on the fields in which the principle
Of freedom and equal rights of all were
defended and established. The battle o.
Antetam will be remembered in Della
ware as leaving its people a greater thrill
OF mingled JOY and grief than they ex
perienced in all the subsequent years o
the Civil War.

to-day welcomes these awful instru-

1t must not be imagined that the tor

there would be squadrons OF these novel
fighting units. and they would combine

and the tactics OF the heavy ships OF the
line. The latest OF our battleships. when
finished. will represent an outlay OF quite

quite apart from this difference I'm cost.
the torpedo battleship probably would do
greater measure OF damage 20 an
eneny's feet, and. even If lost in the
struggle, II would not mean the same
sacrifice that the sinking OF Dread
noueht would involve. A Davis gun
torpedo could do equal damage 10 either
the regular Dreadnought or the torpedo
battleship If 1t hit. but the latter vessel
has far better chance 10 use this new
weapon, with the likeliest promise OF
causing the greater havoc, before her
self being put hors de combat.
We are certainly living in an age OF
rapid progress. and we no longer advance
