The late cavalry charger seems en-.

goes into action without delay and

The horse is said to be one Of the

but nothing IL his history prior to

recent decision of the war depart
ment which says that old army horses
that have figured meritoriously in

ice has been such as to win the love

the record Of Putnam" Major Manus
McCloskey 3rd Field Artillery, gives
the horses history from the day the
animal entered the service and these
remarks are embodied in the order.
Putnam began his work In 1898 as
the swing horse of the Yale Light
Battery at Mantle, Connecticut. He
served through the Spanish War, and
when the Yale Battery was mustered
out, Putnam was transferred to the
regular service. After three months
at Fort Hancock. Putnam was again
transferred to the regular field artfl-
lery and in April, 1899, he sailed from
San Francisco to Manila. Putnam had
not been in the islands a week before
he was in action. He was In the
fights around linus and Bacoor in 0c-
tober, 1899; went. through the Cavite
campaign Of General SchwaTn in De-
tober, November, 1899, and in, July,
1900, sailed with Battery F, 5th Field
Artillery, for China where he took
part in all the engagements of the
allied forces" -
I'm China" says the order, Putnam
was IN the battle of Pei Tsang, Yang
Tsnn, and other engagements of the
allied forces during the march to
rescue the legations. Wen drawing
a gun into position on a slight steep
elevation at 5000 yards from the
southeast corner of the Tarter City
Of Pekin, the trace broke behind the
swing horse in front of Putnam and
he drew his side of the gun up the
hill alone" In his endorsement of the
application to retire Putnam, Colonel
3. T. Brown, q. s. A., retired, who
commanded the 5th Field Artillery in
the Boxer outbreak, stated that the
services of the horse were unusual
and important and that in the battle
which resulted in the capture of Pc
kin, Putnam performed the work Of
three horses at a critical moment
when the guns of his battery were go

PRICE or CHICKEN
CONTINUES TO SOAR
No Excuse for Such High
Prices, Marketmaster Tay-
Tor Stated Today.

The high price of chickens is due
partly to the great demand for this
fowl in Eastern markets, according
to a local produce dealer THE East
ern market wants chickens and the
shippers are paying big prices for
them, which forces our price up accord
ingly. The matter of feed may enter
into the cause of high prices, for the
grain is worth more to the farmer
than il used to be-" The meat prices
may also affect the chicken market
some. We can never tell exactly what
causes the rise and fall of prices"
John Taylor, marketmaster said that
the high prices were the fault of the
people who bought the chickens. 1T
don't cost any more to raise chicken
now than it did ten years ago. and the
chickens are just as plentiful. The
farmers and chicken dealers know
that they can get the high prices and
they demand them. There is one per-
son who sells from a hundred and
twenty-five to hundred and fifty
chickens every Saturday afternoon.
The people will pay the price. Chick
ems used to be twenty-five cents apiece,
now they are thirty-five cents a pound,
dressed. A poor man can't have chick
en- any more, and it's because other
people will pay exhorbitant prices"
The best morning market held In
Richmond this year was at the East
End place this morning. There was a
great variety Of produce of all kinds
and the market was busy for several
hours. The market Of fresh produce
is crowded with homegrown melons
and corn is also plentiful. Potatoes
and tomatoes are scarce. this week.
The prices are normal. Green stuff of
all kinds is plentiful

ANCIENT SKYSCRAPERS.
Roman Houses We're Tall and Flimsy,
the Streets Marrow Lanes.


the Streets Marrow Lanes.
The tenement house is no new thing
So great was the number of such
houses and so badly were they put up
In ancient Rome that in 60 A. D. the
Emperor Ohio, who was then marching
against Vitellius, found his way barred
for twenty miles by the ruins of build
ings that had been undermined by an
inundation. The spontaneous collapse
of tenement houses was so common an
occurrence that little attention was
paid to it
The tenants Of these houses have
been described by writer of the time
as fearing to be buried or burned
alive. Companies existed for the pur-
pose of propping and sustaining
houses.
In comparison with the tenements of
most modern cities, those of Rome
were excessively high. Martial alludes
to a poor man. neighbor. who had to
mount 200 steps to reach his garnet.
That garnet must have been perched
nearly 100 feet above the level of the
street
pOSSlDtG tnaL oAdSSeEdt-
ed, but it is certain that Augustus, to
make less frequent the occurrence of
disasters. limited the height Of new
houses that opened upon the streets to
about sixty-eight feet. AS this was a
remedial regulation and referred only
TO new houses fronting on the street.
1t follows that some houses must have
nyceeded that height
This, moreover was irrespective of
he breadth of the street In Berlin the
knedium width of the streets is twenty
wo meters, and in Paris the narrow
st streets are nearly eight meters
eide. while the streets of Rome ex-
Tended only Ave or six meters. and on
THESE narrow streets the tall houses
were built. Light and air must have
had some difficulty in penetrating those
narrow, walled in passages.
