AUXILIARY TRANSACTS BUSINESS
Plans Further Equipment For Play
ground in City Park and Considers
Other Matters.

The ladies' auxiliary of the cham
ber of commerce met in regular ses-
sion yesterday afternoon at the cham
! ber of commerce. The meeting was
an enthusiastic one and well attended.
The principal business which came be-
fore the meeting was the matter of
providing further equipment for the
children's playground in the city
park.
Among the articles of equipment the
purchase Of which is now being plan
ned is giant stride which will afford
a world of fun for the youngsters. A
net for the tennis court will also be
purchased. The matter also of en-
ploying regular playground director
for the summer months was discussed
at length and an effort will probably
be made to secure the services of
some Of the girls from the university
who are specializing in playground SUI
pervision.
The question of permanent lighting
system for the city park was again
broached but it was the sentiment of
all present that since the temporary
lighting during last summer was
found so satisfactory the city coun-
ell would willingly take the matter in
hand this year and provide perman-
ent lighting system.
The sentiment of yesterdays meet
ing was unanimously in favor of a
permanent and salaried health officer
for the city. The work done during
the past year by Mr.. Woodwork was
highly commended but it was the SEN
timent of the auxiliary that he should
not be expected to serve another year
without compensation.
The next meeting of the auxiliary
was set for February 16 at which
lime the regular election of officers of
The organization will be held.

WILL AID THE DISTRESSED
STAR Mirror VIII be Glad to Act in
Giving Attention Where Necessary.

The rare cases of destitution in
Moscow are usually attributable to
laziness, dissipation, or bad manage
ment on the part of the wage-earner
of the family. Occasionally, however,
sickness has drained the family re-
sources, and work can not be found
even after honest search. In either
case the suffering entailed falls heav-
lily on the children, and they become
the innocent victims of circumstances.
If any person in Moscow knows of a
family in real need, will he not kindly
bring the matter to the attention of
The Star Mirror? Thru the columns
of this paper publicity can be given
to worthy case and an effort made
to relieve distress.

a wife?" she cried.
The girls eyes flashed with a sud
den, fierce fire in their depths.
God In heaven. no! l did not know
it until Oh, l can't speak OF 1t! Why
should | tell you about 1t? Why
should you be interested In hearing
it?"
Mrs. Wrandall drew back and re-
garded the girls set, unhappy face.
There was a curious light in her eyes
that escaped the others notice-a
light that would have puzzled her not
a little.
But you will tell me-everything-
a little later" she said, strangely calm.
Not now, but-before many hours
have passed. First OF all, you must
tell me who you are. where you live
everything except what happened In
Burton's inn. l don't want to heal
that at present-perhaps never, Yes,
on second thoughts, will say never!
You are never to tell me Just what

up to it Do you understand? Never"
The girl stared at her in amaze
ment But II must tell some one,'
she cried vehemently. Il have a right
to defend myself
Il am not asking you to defend your
self" said Mrs. Wrandall shortly.
Then. as II afraid TO remain longer,
she rushed from the room. In the
doorway, she turned for an instant to
say: DO as told you. Telephone.
Dress as quickly as you can" She
closed the door swiftly.
Standing in the center OF the room
her hands clenched until the nails cut
the flesh, she said over and over again

A few minutes later she was critical

came from the bedroom attired in q

just as Grouchy failed Napoleon at

seemed TO be nothing to do but to push

So June found him within sight of

He was now on ground that was ia

the Army of the Potomac. They had
been there two years before under Nc
Clelan. The battle-ground was then
called Gaines's Mill, the scene of the

valor which would have ended the war

that for two or three days many of the
dead and wounded lay uncared for
upon the field, because Grant and Lee
were unable to agree upon the terms OF
brief armistice. When at last an
agreement was reached the roll of the
wounded had been greatly diminished
and that of the dead correspondingly
increased.
For nine days Grant stubbornly
maintained his place. Then, on June

GRANT MAINTAINED HIS PLACE
NINE DAYS.

Cold Harbor has been the subject OF
much controversy, sometimes acri-
monious. which it would seem un-
profitable To renew or to recall i'm de-
tail. Final judgment has been passed
upon it by the one man who was re-
sponsible for it. cold Harbor is,

ever fought that | would not fight over
again under the circumstances" And
again, in his Personal Memoirs: Il
have always regretted that the last as
sault on Cold Harbor was ever made.
No advantage whatever was gained to
compensate for the heavy loss we sus-
tanned from that verdict there can
be no appeal. while the frank and vol
untary rendering Of it goes far toward
atoning for the most costly and per-
haps least excusable error in the great
soldiers career.

SHERIDAN CAPTURES OLD COLD
HARBOR.

The operations began auspiciously.
Sheridan. on June 1. captured the van
tage point known as Old Cold Harbor
or Coal Harbor. as most then called
it-and held it In spite OF the furious
attacks Of Fitzhugh Lee. The next day
he was relieved by Wright, with the
9th Corps, and Smith with the 18th.
who that evening made vigorous at
tack upon Lees lines. and made SUBJ
stantial gains, though at heavy cost.
Lee essayed a counter attack upon
Warrens 5th Corps, with little effect.
1t was a restless night. Repeated at
tacks were made by Lee. in the face
OF which the federal lines were rear
ranged. Grant held a council, Of which
the often repeated story is told that all
his generals despondently advised that
the army should fall back at daybreak
from the position which it could not
