HATEFUL DAY IN HISTORY
Americans Have Good Reason to Re- member Events Connected With
 the First of July.

In American history the first day of July is to be particularly remembered by the battle of Gettysburg, the ad- vance of the scouting forces of the Union and Confederate armies coming together in the forenoon of July 1, 1863. The fight continued for three days. The second day was the blOOdiest of the Civil war and 33,OOO men fell, killed or wounded. One year previous to the battle of Gettysburg, the battle of Malvern Hill was fought, and it was then that General McClellan's ac- tfon of retreating in the morning, in- stead of following up his advantage, evoked a storm of criticism which eventually destroyed his reputation as a capable commander of large armies in war. In later years, the battles of San Juan and Fl Caney were fought on July 1. 1898. during. the Spanish American war. Both ended with American victory. Among the regi- ments that charged up the side of Ket- tie hill in the attack on San Juan was the one commanded by Lieut.. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who afterward, in writing the history of the regiment, said that for one reason or another the public christened it the Rough Rid CTS" At first he and his men fought against the use of the term, but to no purpose, and when generals of divi- sion and brigade commanders began to write it so in formal communications, the regiment adopted the name also.

Early Glass Factories.

Little Is known of the early history of the glass industry in this country. and still less of the products of the early factories, but a glass house was in operation in Philadelphia in 1883. One Joshua Tittery, from Newcastle on-Tyne, came over to Pennsylvania in June of that year as a glass maker in the employ of the Society of Trad CTS. Caspar Wistar, it is believed, constructed the first glass factory in New Jersey near AllOwaystown, in 1739, and the first industrial enter prise established in the United States was glass bottle factory which was erected in about the year 1901 at Jamestown, Va.

Ventriloquists.

VentrHoquism Is the art of produc- ing tones and words without any mo- tion of the lips, so that the nearer of ten refers the sound to some other place. The ventriloquist uses no in- strument, nor does the art depend upon any peculiar structure of the Sor- gans of the voice, but upon dexterfty. The name is founded upon the mis- taken supposition that the voice pro- ceeds from the stomach. The art of the ventriloquist consists mainly in taking deep inhalatfons of breath, and then allowing 1t to escape slowly, the sounds of the voice being modified by the muscles of the throat and palate. Ventrlloquism is very old art and was known to the ancient Greeks as well as to the Romans. The Greeks ascribed 1t to the operations of de- mons. and called ventrfiokuists ''En- ,gastEinanteis'' (belly-prophets3. .ss+-

Indians Fond of Corn.

The early Indians grew flint corn for hominy and flour corn for bread and soups. They invented "succo- tash" composed of maize and beans, with butter and salt added. We owe to them all of our best recipes for the preparation of corn, not excepting "hoecake" and cornbreads.
 Corn remains today what 1t was be- fore Columbus landed, the great Amer fcan food crop. One years crop of maize, loaded on wagons in single file and allowing 20 feet to each wagon, would make a line long enough to en- circle the globe nine and a half times.

PLANS LAID TO TO
BUILD HOSPITAL

Harrisonburg. Sept 11.-At a meet
ing OF the board OF trustees OF the
Rockingham Memorial hospital held
Yesterday. II was decided that the sit
uation at the hospital demanding en-
larged CAPACITY was so compelling that
the board would be obliged TO take the
responsibility of going ahead with the
erection OF the second unit OF the hos
pital Notwithstanding the disappoint-
ing result of the late drive for popu-
lar subscription of $40. 900 for that
object, and the building committee was
accordingly directed to proceed with
the preparation Of plans looking TO the
letting of the contract.
The subscription reported amounted
70 $4,000 in round figures with
Stonewan and Ashby districts not yet
fully reported.
When the new building is well under
way, the trustees will inauSurate
rev subscription campaign foS the
purpose of raising whatever amount
of money may then be required TO nm
ish paying for the building
Some people think that because
patients have to pay for what they get
at the hospital. there is no call on the
public TO support the hospital with
gifts, but that is an erroneous idea.
The hospital has no endowment and
therefore cannot receive patients
without charge except those who can
be cared for by the Grubb bequest. but
Il provides the facilities and advan
tages OF well-equipped hospital with
in convenient reach OF our people ami
at moderate cost. 1t is doing great
