Forward Up Red River.

AS soon as Porter received news OF
the fall of Fort De Russy he started
for Alexandria with his fastest ships
and arrived off the town ON the 10Th
of March. He saw the last of the fee
ing Confederate boats moving on up
Red river. A. J. Smiths land column
reached Alexandria also ahead of the
appointed time, but a columI which
Banks had ordered to march across
country from Little Rock. Ark, under
the leadership of General Frederick
Steele and another land column which
Banks in person was to march from
New Orleans to Alexandria were not
at the rendezvous.
The object of this grand gathering Of
troops and warships at Alexandria the
middle of March was an expedition Of
the combined forces to Shreveport, 100
miles farther up the Red river, the pass
from Louisiana into Texas. 1t was ex-
pected that the C~onfederates would
draw their scattered forces from west
ern Louisiana and make q stand for
the defense of Shreveport. The pres
ence and active cooperation of the
navy were necessary to keep the Red
river open back from the army front to
it's mouth as a line of supply. for there
was Il scarcity of forage in the Red
river country. The high water which
usually swells the river in early spring
was depended upon to aid the passage
of the gnnboats and transports ver
the falls at Alexandria.
The Federal naval forces occupied
Alexandria on the 10th. General Banks
was still at New Orleans, but his chief
OF staff, General Stone. arrived to rep
resent him. In August. 1862, Stone
had been released from confinement on

seventh and Thlrty-second regiments.
A strip of woods screened the storm
Ing column formed by Mower. but an
open space of 100 yards lay between
the woods and the .enemy's parapet.
The bombardment of the heavy works
by f~ieldpieces proved useless, and, as
the navy was not up to lend aid,
Mower decided to end it before the
sound of the guns should summon Con-
federate re-enforcements in from the
a
Fort Carried by a Rush.
The instant the column emerged
from the woods the Confederate guns
opened with shell and shrapnel. The
fierce outburst was answered by a
blast from the battle trumpet. sounding
the double quick charge. When in full
Roadway the troops broke into a wild
cheer and marched straight on over
the parapet and into the works at the
first rush, General Mowers horse leap
ing the ditch and rampant with his
firm seated rider ahead of the most
impetuous of his soldiers.
The capture of the fort was in the
nick of time to save a tedious battle, for
the next day the place was surrounded
by Confederate cavalry. Mowers tro-

guns. two of which were nine inch

The gunboat fleet after long delay at

through the obstruction and moved up
just In time to fire a few rounds at a
battery on the river front before the
Confederates ran up the white flag in
token of surrender. The fleet would
have been unable to cooperate on &C
count of the danger of Smelling friends
who were attacking the fort from the
rear.

strongest defenses on the water front.

Fort De Russy was blown up, root

was finally destroyed the work which
the Confederates had relied on to close

BASEBALL ABROAD.

Entertaing accounts are appearing
in the news papers Of the experiences
of the Giants-White Sox world base
ball tour. 1t will be interesting to
see if this object lesson in Americas
favorite sport awakens any desire to
introduce the game abroad.
In little Japan the game is already
considerably played, and the admira-
ton aroused by the marvellous dizziness
of these fine teams will give the game
a big boost. The Japs have a certain
kinship with the American tempera-
ment, in their alert Quickness. They
should make good ball players.
Probably the reason why the game
never could make start in Europe.
is that in these older countries there
is a lack of this swiftness of thought
and motion. 1t is not merely that
athletes are little too slow to play
the game we'll. The spectators are a
little too slow to see the game well.
Most of the pleasure in watching the
game comes from the American facility
in following the lightning chances and
changes of this sport.

THE INTERNATIONAL "BEN HUR'
Spectacular Drama to Be Presented at
Omaha in the Brandeis Theater
March I'd, Sd and 9TH.

Spectacular magnificehce, dramatic
splendor and religious ecstacy are the
most notable concomitants of klaw &
Erlanger's international production OF
ben Hur," which will be the offering
at the Brandeis theater Omaha. Neb,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights and Wednesday matinee, March
I'd, Sd and 4th. During the fourteen
years which have passed since the
original presentation OF this noble
drama-its owners have not only Kept
it up to it's original grandeur, but have
elaborated and developed the posi-
bilities Of the production each season,
beauty of establishment, unsurpassed
in dramatic Significance and power. 1t
was the "last word" of the stage craft
of the nineteenth century and into the
new age it brought bigness and per-
lection which will remain the stand
ard for decades to come.
Dealing with the earth life OF Jesus,
the most important period in history,
ben Hur" shows the world at its
most wonderful point in magnificence
and wealth, for Rome ruled the world
anu CdcSdI Augustus was OAAPSAoA "
the mightiest realm the earth had
known. Into this time of display and
pomp came the lowly Nazarene, the
Christos for whom the nation had
longed, and it is this personality OF
Jesus that, permeating the fabric of
the Wallace-Y Young drama, makes its
sermon as we'll as drama OF ire
mendous significance. The reverence
with which the imminence OF Christ
is indicated has made Ben Hur' a re-
ligious pageant, while the sweep OF
the story of Ben Hur and Messaila,
Esther and Iras, carries audiences or
their feet, the elimination Of the dra-
matte plot being the chariot race,
wherein Ben Hur conquers and de-
grades his enemy.
Nothing more realistic than this
scene in the arena of the Circus OF
Antioch with Ben Hur and MESSIAH
driving quadruple teams OF equine
thoroughbreds contesting for suprem-
acy has ever been imagined by a
dramatist or executed by producer.
The race enthralls because on its out
come depends life, love. honor. riches
to the victor and when Ben Hur re-
ceives the victor's crown of wild olive,
audiences applaud with the greatest
enthusiasm.

A Triumph for American RaiIroading

The accident account of American
railroads is such as no European sys-
tenn ever permits. Yet the country
has a lot of very competent railroad
men as suggested by the success OF
General Manager Thornton of the
Long Island railroad. He is to man
age the Great Eastern road of England
on the ground that English railroad
ing does not turn out men of the ca
pacity required.
The trouble with our railroads. as
respects accidents. is not lack of tech
meal ability. 1t is partly that in the
national anxiety to develop our terri
tory, there has been a tendency to
spend money developing new lines
rather than providing the existing sys'
TENS with the best safety equipment.
After big disaster there is always
a spasmodic demand for safety meas,
ures. But this does not counterfeit the
persistent growing from passengers
because of late trains. This has d
tendency to promote the type of man
who can get his train in on time re-
CARELESS.
