A cloud possessed the hollow field, The gathering battle's smoky shield. Athwart the gloom the lighting flashed, And through the cloud some horsemen dashed, And from the heights the thunder pealed. Then at the brief command of Lee, Moved out that matchless infantry, With Pickett leading grandly down, To rush against the roaring crown Of those dread heights of destiny.

Ah, how the withering tempest blew Against the front of Pettigrew! A Kainsin wind that scorched and singed Like that infernal flame that fringed The British squares at Waterloo!

Cakboxdale, III., July 1.?Union City, a small town built and ocfiiniod bv union miners near here, 1 ~ * was burned it midnight after a battle between the union men and imported negro miners, who were fired upon at Freconia yesterday. Seeking revenge fur the killing of a woman and the wounding of twenty men in their party the negroes raided Union Ci:y at midnight. They opened fire ok the homes of the union men. The litter promptly replied. The battle lasted until the union miners weredrfven from their homes and took refuge in a clump of timber close to the village. The non-union men at once applied the torch and the village was destroyed. The negroes then advanced on the woods where the union miners were cornered, and until daylight a fusillade was kept up between the factions. No lives have so far been reported lost in the engagement. Reinforce ments have gone to the aid or tne union miners. the military asked for. Springfield. Ill, July 1.?Act;ng Governor Warder this evening ordered the companies of the 4th infantry, Illinois National Guard, located at Carbondale and Mount Vernon, to proceed to Cartersville at once and preserve the peace. This action was taken upon representations from Sheriff Gray, of Williams Count}', General Manager Sam Brush, of the St. Louis and Big Muddy Coal Companies, and prominent citizens of that section of the country, who telegraphed the SfeQng' Governor that the sheriff was powerless to keep the peace, and that the troops were necessary.

They shot into our houses and a'on? the road where our employees pass. Au our men? women aud children are so ^rrorized that they have not eaten or slept since yesterday. The sheriff seems powerless.

Roosevelt, who is visiting in this city, was escorted to the Milwaukee chamber of commerce to-day just before tiie hour of closing and given an enthusiastic reception. In addressing the bulls and bears he said: "At the end of the nineteenth century, as this cofantry moves along on the road to greatness, she has many serious problems to face, and when she needs men to carry out Irer purpose she can call upon men of the best thought and wisdom, just such t ,, men as i am now iiuuiettamg. mu of the great West hold in your hands the future of this nation. It rests with you and you will, I know, show yourselves equal to the task. "We always have with usourhoine problems, and we should aim always to get into public life men of courage, of common sense and of honesty. No amount of genius or brilliancy can atone for a lack of the element of fearlessness, of decency and horse sense, and no one or two of these will avail unless the man has all three. The ablest man alive, if corrupt, is a danger to the country or community to just the extent of his brilliancy and ability, and you, gentlemen, are in honor bound to allow him to feel the weight of your Hiaonnrnva! u,olTl"v "I don't care how brave a man is, if he is a natural-born fool, he is not worth knocking in the head. "If a man is lacking in common honesty, he is not fit for public life, no matter how brilliant he may be. "We have certain important foreign problems which confront us. The United States has evidently as great a destiny on the Pacific as on the Atlantic ocean, and, whether we live on the former or the latter, we must be equally interested in the welfare of the nation upon every foreign question: We should all see that the nation rises on the Atlantic, and we have a right to demand of all good citizens to stand by the president. "We want to make it understood that while we fear no nations and shirk no duty, we desire above all things peace, and we feel that there are three great nations which have interests together. These are \merica, England and Germany. -These should work hand in hand for the solution of the questions that now confront us in the Pacific."J ? Salt la Kinm.

A White Elephant In Paris. A genuine white elephant?or what { passes as such?has been presented to ; the Parisians by M. Doumer, the French j representative in Siaxn. Cherie, as the pachyderm has already been nicknamed, made her state entry into Paris a few days ago, being met at the Gare de Lyon by a distinguished company. Some little disappointment was felt when it was observed, as the traveler stepped onto the platform, that she was scarcely so white as she had been painted. The prevailing tone of her complexinn is indeed a sort of natchv red, veiled by a mass of grayish hair, the eyes and the eyelids being pink. It will be remembered that Barnum's specimen, 4'secured at immense cost." fell equally short of its reputation. As a matter of fact, the Albino elephant is never really white, but the deficiency of nature is sometimes made up for by the aid of art. It is gratifying to learn that the guest of the Jardin des Plantes has charming manners, including a clever habit of kneeling and doing obeisance to the French public.?London Chronicle. Deserved His Promotion. Captains of the Iowa, in his contribution to "The Story of the Captains" for The Century, speaks of the wonderful nerve and courage of a boatswain's mate named Trainor shown at the destruction of the Vizcaya. The boat of which Trainor was acting cockswain was lying near the stern of the burning cruiser, and most of the Spanish sailors crowded on her upper deck aft had been . persuaded to jump overboard, and were ' thna savpd Three remained, however. holding on to the rail, with their bodies hanging over the side of the almost redhot ship. Trainor was heard to say/ "We most save them men somehow," and without orders he jumped overboard, swam to the side of the Vizcaya,.clambered np to the deck at the imminent risk of his life, kicked the three men overboard, took a header himself and succeeded in rescuing all three cf them. The water was fall of sharks snapping and tearing at the Spanish dead and wounded. Trainor was afterward promoted at the request of his captain. Good Exerclne For the Calves. That results which seem incredible can be obtained in the development of the muscles without resorting to gymnasium practice or using expensive apparatus and without the slightest interference with the subject's usual mode of life has been learned with pleasure by a young man in Germantown. He bought a bicycle last summer and proposed to ride it, but his legs were so small that in "bike" pants he was jeered at wherever he went, and soon his wheel was rusty from disuse. He determined then to enlarge his calves, and in September he began the simple exercise of standing with stiff ' knees flat footed, then rising as high as possible on bis toes and repeating this until thoroughly tired. His salves are Thirty rises in succession was the limit of his enfirst dav. but 500 risen do I UUiflUWV ??v ? - ^ r not fatigue him now. He has been averaging daily since January ten minutes on getting up, ten before luncheon and ten before retiring.?Philadelphia^ Record. .? ??.- ? Science of Sounding Sknlla. Certain disciples of Charcot, notably M. Gilles de la Tourette, have recently evolved a new science, or rather a new aid to diagnosis, in the sounds of the skull. They tap the 3kull with a little hammer, and, according to the character of the note it gives out, they conclude as to the condition of the brain. The skull of a child gives out a nota-of higher pitch than that of a man. In old age the skull sound rises again. The thickness of the skull can be determined after some practice, and any disease or fracture betrays itself by the peculiar sound. Some skulls, according to the doctors, give out a veritable sound of a cracked pot, and so the popular term "cracked" for a person of eccentric intellect is fully justified. Even tbe Seconds Escaped. Two street porters in Bonn got into a row lately, and instead of punching each other's heads were persuaded to fight a duel "under severe conditiona " They were stripped to the waist, blindfolded and armed with revolvera One shot was to be fired at 15 paces, blindfolded; then the combatants were to raise the bandages, advance to fen paces distance and fire again. Two rounds were fired in this way without damage to any one, not even the foHr seconda The latter then decided that honor was satisfied. All the parties to the affair have been arrested, the authorities apparently being fnricna at the ridicnle upon dueling by the low rank of the combatants. j ~-Bicycle Signal Code. A simple internatiohsV~8igasl for bicyclists has been devised in Paris. It is to be sent to all bicycle clubs and organizations the world over and may prove of value not only to bicyclists, but to pedestrians. Founded on the Morse system of telegraphy, its simplicity is expected to contribute to its general adoption. The strokes are made on the bicycle belL The code is as follows: Greeting Halt Follow me r?oi? 5 Where are yon ? I Here I am.....! Go to the right. ? ?? Go to the left. Lookout! Danger ?
