A Picturesque Corps Whose Fame De.
came Worldwide.
Among the most interesting classes
of soldiers of modern times d the
French corps called the xouaves. The
body OF daring and pictnresquely ut.
tired warriors reached the height of
its fame during the Crimean war. Ths
zouave corps at that time was sup
posed to consist Of Frenchmen. but Il
was in reality quite international. since
It's ranks contained many daring young
foreigners. In this corps served many
men from Oxford. Gottingen and other
universities. and 1t Is probable that the
greater part Of its members had joined
more for the love of fighting than for
love of country. Its fame as a fight
ing body soon spread throughout the
world.
When our own war between the
states broke out several corps Of sou-
ayes. wearing the splendid oriental
uniforms Of the French corps, or a
modification of them. were formed. on
both sides. On the Federal side the
best known was that corps command
ed by Elmer Ellsworth, young officer
from New York. the f1rst man. 1t Is
said. to be killed on the Union side.
In the Confederacy the most famous
corps of zouaves was that called the
Louisiana Tigers. ma
while in American military life the
zouave uniform has practically disap-
peared. it still persists in Frande.-
Exchange.

This was the last heard from him

From MONDAYS Daily.


Charles Hallman. one OF the early
settlers of this city, passed away
early Sunday morning at his home
in West Mankato He had been in
failing health for the past year, but
the immediate cause of his death
was pneumonia. Deceased was born
in Sweden, November Z, 1S45, being
the fifth I'm a family of six children.
He was sent to the free school and
later attended high school after
which he learned the blacksmith
trade. In 1869 he crossed the ocean.
coming directly TO Mankato, where
he found employment with the Chi.
Cago, St Paul, Minneapolis and Oma-
Ia railroad. working ut day labor.
While at work for this company he
rock, and received wounds of a
serious nature. from which he was
very sick for some time. After re-
gaining his strength Mr.. Mailman
opened a blacksmith shop at I02
West Front street, and spent nine
years i'm the same building. after
which he erected "A brick building
on the site of his old blacksmith
shop. where he conducted a grocery
and hardware store until his recent
illness.
Was Married Twice.
November %, 1871. Mr.. Mailman
was married to Miss Matilda Peter

The Norwegian Dagbladet. which
Is favored by the government, raised
an ardent protest against the false ac-
cusations of the allied press directed
against Germany and defended II Wig
orously. II cited historic facts that
the German kaiser during the Boer
war refused 10 join Russia In a declar-
alton of war against England and that
he refused again to stab Russia in the
back during its war with Japan.
Dagbladet is convinced that Ger
many's cause is righteous. There are,
however, different utterances from
other papers in Norway. IL will be
remembered that the present queen
of Norway was an English princess
and that the present king of Norway
is a brother-in-law of the king of
England. Most of the papers have
adopted far different policy from
the Dagbladet and many of them
warmly defended Norways neutral
ity and there also have been instances
when strong defense has been made
in behalf OF the cause OF the allies.

their subjects are TO be abandoned
for a union OF Scandinavians in plans
for protecting their welfare and
guarding against alien influence, par
ticularly those that may be exerted
upon any or all of them With the view
of enlisting their secret sympathy or
open aid In favor of any of the bellig-
erent powers. The war has placed
upon Scandinavian countries press
ing need to strengthen their national
lefenses, so as to maintain neutrality
and relieve an economic situation OF
increasing gravity. The problem Is
difficult and contains many elements
of delicacy, owing to the relations OF
the Scandinavian monarchs to other
European rulers. The queen OF Swe-
den Is a first cousin to the German
kaiser. King Haakon is cousin and
brother+in-law to King George OF Eng
land. King Christian is King Haa-
kon's elder brother. Royal blood
thus runs dangerously counter to the
wishes OF the peoples of the three
countries to preserve their borders In
tact. TO refrain from entangling ALI
.ances and to avert fate like that
visited upon Belgium. II Is altogether
likely that the formal plan of united
action by the three Scandinavian
kings for maintenance of neutrality
will prove the best guaranty that
their neutrality will not be violated.
and that out of IL must eventually
come something more valid and valu-
able than a sentimental community
interest to be employed only when
danger threatens from without. The
safeguarding of the common interests
of the three peoples and the promo
ton OF their walfare is no less impor-
tant in times OF peace than in times
of war"
