SENT FAMOUS WAR MESSAGE
Man Who Wigwagged "Hold th* F^rV*
for Central Sherman During-
Civil Conflict, la Dead.
■ ■ ■ )
Alfred Nye, member of the Federal
Signal corps during the Civil war, who
died recently at Lexington, Neb* Is
credited with having sent General
Sherman’s famous message, “Hold the
fort," to General Corse at Allatoona
Pass, Ga., In 1864. During General
Sherman's march to Atlanta, the Con
federates under. General Hood, with
drew and marched around General
Sbertuan, beading back toward Ten
nessee, planning thereby to cut, the
Union line of communication.
The point chosen by the Confed
erates was Allatoona Pass, guarded
by two little forts on either side of
the railroad, the garrison being formed
of a small brigade under Lieut. Col. J.
E. Tourtellotte. When the Confederate
army began its attack Colonel Tour
tellotte asked for help. General Corse,
with the nearest troops available, at
Rome, Ga., was ordered to reinforce
the puss. He was able to move only
a few hundred men.
The battle raged through the
night and the following day, the Union
men refusing to surrender the fort.
Meanwhile Shertpan was exchanging
signals with the men whenever the
smoke of battle drifted aside, until he
was able to have Alfred Nye wigwag
to them: "Hold the fort.” The Con
federates retreated and continued their
inarch to Tennessee.

COLORED MAN WOULD WAIT
HI* Opportunity I* Coming When
Some Negro Arises to “Make
a Dictionary."
A young physician gives the follow
ing amusing conversation with his
valet, who was a negro:
"He didn't have no business to call
me a nigger, did ho, doctor?"
“There Is no harm In the word ne
gro,” explained the doctor. “Negro
Is the name of your race, your people.
Every race lias a name, the Indian, the
Chinese; the name of your people !*
the negro race." .-iV -
“You say dat, doctor? You thinks
dat? But us colored folks, we know
dor ain't hut one nigger—he's de bad
man."
"But that Is the talk of Ignorance,”
argued the doctor. "Here Is the mean
ing of the word negro in the diction
ary; don’t you see—a uegro Is a black
man?”
“Did a white man make dlu book,
doctor?" asked the boy.
j'Yes." ' r
"Well doctor, you know how It Is
•twlxt white man and nigger. , J’ou
know If the while man made de W>ok
he glad ter writ It down dat de Mack
man Is a nigger. Hit don't’stonlsh me

Tactical Error. '
A major of marines had his bat
talion out In the brush In Cuba for a
problem In observation. He detailed a
private to go to a small hill about h
quarter of a mile away and conceal
himself. The battalion wMtld then
try to locate the private with field
glasses as a training for finding ene
my scouts and snipers during actual
battle conditions.
The private trotted off and, at a sig
nal from the major, flopped to the
ground. The major turned around to
explain the problem to the battalion,
hut, upon turning again, was much in
censed to see the privdte standing
again In full view of all. Seizing a
pair of signal flags from a sergeant
the major wigwagged wrathfully:
“Why don’t you lie down as I ordered?"
Upon which the private on the sky
line wig-wagged hack respectfully, but'
with great emphasis:
"Sir, why did the major order me to
lie down on an ant hill?”—The Home
Sector.
Buried Rome.
Archeologists lu France have been
greatly encouraged by the success
which has attended the excavations In
Provence In search of more Roman
architectural remains. It Is thought,
owing to the extent of the discoveries,
that It will be possible to bring to
light the roads which existed between
the various Roman establishments of
the smith of France. Inscriptions ami
sculptured fragments have boen found
at Die In the Drome, aqueducts, an im
mense gymnasium, a necropolis and
ramparts at Orange; while at Valson
the Roman theater having been fully
revealed, the statues discovered there
In frsgments are being pieced In the
neighboring museum. There is a
Snhina, a Tiberius, a Hadrian anil en
Augustus.
