Where, for example, under the old boss sys-

has there been exhibited such subservency to boss

of Mr.. Johnson? What abuses and crimes, in our

our Progressive in the sacred name of moral

The Die Is Cast.

The suspense is ended. 1t is to be war. II
means chaos in Europe, the massacre of the strong
men, weaklngs left at home to propagate the breed
the vitality and energy of the nations turned to de-
reach down from this generation to the next and to
the next Out of it may emerge new dynasties and
new nations. The die has been cast in favor of the
things against which civilization has been struggling
for centuries. No good can result There is but one
promise, and this is result terrible that never
again will resort to brutal settlement of their
difficulties. And it is just possible that balance
of power will be evolved too stable to be upset The
awfulness of the catastrophe is too great for men yet

this note: Dear Sheriff We don't want to take

The staie.man with the Wonderful
Eyes.
BY nm. z. y. EDWARDS.

By DH. Z. Js EDWAhDSs
A pathetic and yet extraordinarily in
teresting personality was that Of Alex
ander Hamilton stephens when he was
In his place On the fioor OF the House
OF Representative at Washington. There
was no more impressive spectacle fur
nished by any Of the daily Incidents In
the House than the constant delicate and
sympathetic attention which the mem
bers. whether Of the Republican or the
Democratic party. bestowed upon. him.
Mr.. Stephens place upon the door OF
the House was conspicuous. The House
had gladly accorded him the privilege Of
occupying a small portion Of the space
In front OF the clerks desk. To his ac-
customed place he was wheeled In an
inyalid's chair by devoted attendants. He
was able by pressure Of his hand upon
the wheel to move himself about. but II
frequently happened that he sat during
an entire session without moving from
the spot where his attendants had taken
his chair.
The wierd. almost ghostIike, appear
ance OF the man, as well as the fact
that he sat In an invalid's chair, In
stantly attracted to him the eyes Of
strangers who were in the galleries.
When In response to their whispered
question, who Is that man." they were
told that he was Alexander H. Stephens.
who had been Vice President Of the Con-
federate States and who was recognized
as one OF the great intellectual forces of
the South, this brief biography of the
man served to intensity the attention
which the galleries gave to him.
1t seemed incredible that such q parch-
ment-like body should have vitality and
this wonder was increased when his
voice was heard on the rare occasions
when he addressed the chair. II was q
strong or rather penetrating voice, with
an unusual gift OF clear enunciation. Mr..
Stephens had mastered the art of giving
impressive infection to his tones OF voice,
so that these modulations told as ef-
fectually as any gestures could have
done.
The amazing feature Of his personality
was his eyes. They bIazed forth at times
as though powerful fires were behind
them. They were the real windows
which opened upon his intellectual power:
they almost spoke. At times they seemed
to have the iridescence OF a precious
stone Again they revealed the innate
gentleness Of Mr.. Stephens real nature.
I was chatting with Samuel J. Randall,
who was Speaker OF the House for sew
eral terms when Mr.. Stephens was a
member. about the Southern statesman
one evening just dIter IL nad been an
nounced that Mr.. Stephens was to retire
from Congress and would later become
governor Of Georgia.
Mr.. Randall said: do you know, I
have never found a man yet who can
tell me from his own observation what
the color OF Stephens eyes is? Some
have said that they are IS nearly black
as any human eyes can be. Others have
asserted that they are steel blue. have
heard some members say that Mr.
Stephens eyes were changeable in color.
I know that they sometimes have an al
most hypnotic effect upon those with
whom he converses. They seem at times

THE WAR DAY BY DAY
Fifty Years Ago.
August 1s64-A Confederate Cavalry Column Under Gen Jobn MeCau
land that July 80 Had Pged Chambersburg Pa Attacked Rail-
road Garrison New Creek V and Being Repue Toward
Mooreheld

Fifty years ago today a Confed-
crate cavalry column from Early's
command. under Gen. John McCaus-
land, which on July 80 had pillaged
and burned Chambersburg, Pa, at
acked a garrison defending a bridge
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad al
New Creek. W. Va. and being repulsed
withdrew toward Mooreield. where de-
feat and dispersal at the hands of Fed
eral cavalry awaited il.
Gen. John A. EarIy's course in de-
taching this column and ordering II to
destroy Chambersburg. or collect $780,
900 in gold from its citizens, had
aroused the bitterest resentment in the
North. The war was entering on a
savage phase, of which this course OF
procedure was n striking example. Gen.
Early justified the burning of the
Northern town as an act OF reprisal
for burnings of private houses by Gen.
David Hunter in the valley OF Vir-
gina, but what was intended for an
act of military reprisal had developed
into an expedition for pillage and
wanton destruction of the property
OF unarmed people.
Evidence of this is to be found in the
official report Of one OF the officers
who commanded brigade in Gen. Nc
Causland's column. Gen Bradley T.
johnson. The report OF Gen. johnson
constitutes a severe arraignment OF
the policy adopted by Gen. Early. and
casts a blemish on the record of SOL
dIers who had shown their gallantry
on many fields
AT Chambersburg, while the town
was in flames" wrote Gen. Johnson, "a
quartermaster. aided and directed by
a field oficer, exacted ransom from
individuals for their houses, holding
the torch in terror over the house until
Il was paid These ransoms varied
from $3.50 to $3.50. -" .. After the order
was given to burn Chambersburg and
before. drunken soldiers paraded the
streesa in every possible disguise and
parapheraIia. pillaging and plunder-
ing"
LawIess Acts at Hancock, Md.
Leaving Chambersburg in flames at
noon on July 80, the column had ridden
rapidly westward to McConnellsville.
where II bivouacked. Here a Federal
cavalry column under Gen. W. W.
AvereIl came. up with its rear guard
next morning, and followed 1t to Han
cock, Nd, on the Potomac River.
1t was Gen McCausland's purpose to
levy a contribution Of $4,000 on the town,
bat Gen. Johnston, who was Mary
lander, as well as Col. Harry Gilmore,
whose home was near Baltimore, entered
a vigorous protest, saying Maryland had
spilled too much blood for the South to
have her towns plundered or burned by
Confederate troops.
With Gen. Johnston's consent Gilmore
