Scene OF the Capture of the Union
General Stoughton by the Confed-

During the Civil War.

Washington.-The parsonage of
Rev. Mr.. Page, at Fairfax Courthouse,
Va, where his daughter, Miss Betsy,
and Norman J. Gaynor of New York
were married on April 16, is historic
building. 1t was in this house, 81 years
ago, that Brigadier General Stoughton
of the Union army was surprised in
the night by Mosby's men and cap
tured.
One dark and rainy night about
the middle of March, Mosby, with
20 of his men, rode out Of the Confed-
crate lines, moved east to the railroad
and cut the telegraph wires, and then
slipped in between the Union pickets,
and finally entered the village in d.
rection almost opposite to that from
which they had started. The sentinel,
not dreaming of an enemy coming
from the rear, was a prisoner before
he could level his gun.
The little band continued on to
the courthouse green, where they di-
vided one party going to the tents
to capture the Union soldiers, while
the other. headed by Mosby himself,
went to the house in which Slough
ton was sleeping.
Mosby rang the bell, and it was an
swered by an officer He was seized
and compelled to show the way to
the generals chamber on the floor
above.
Entering, Mosby awakened Slough

AS the general sat up, the Confeder-
ate leader, who had covered him with
a pistol, asked:
did you ever hear of Mosby?"
"Of course" growled Stoughton,
Have you caught him?"
NO" said Mosby, "but Mosby has
caught you"
When convinced that he really was
a captive Stoughton gracefully re-
signed himself to fate and in a few
moments was riding out into the road
between two Confederates. On the
pike this party was joined by the
others, which had captured 80 other
prisoners, So horses and lot of mules

More Apt to Be Understood.

use the longest and most reconcile
words. Mr.. Balfour, however, is pref
ty hard to beat at polysyllabic dis.
plays. In speech on dualism in edu'

he used the word ''dichotomiZe." The
reporters, not having heard Of this
strange verb, held a consultation
about it and sent up message to Mr.
Balfour asking if their note was cor

lightful Balfourism: did l really use
such a word? Was it verb or sub
