[New Orleans Picayune.] Not many years ago electricity was made the moving power of street cars in cities, and* when the bic3 cle was seen on every street and road it was declared that there would soon be little use for horses as means of transportation, wbile the military cities declared that the long-range guns had made the use of mounted troops impossible, and the romantic picture of the war horse rushing with his rider into battle would soon be-, come a mere memory. The experience of the Confederate war for independence, supplemented by those of England's war with the Boers, have demonstrated that mount ed trops are of greater value than ever. As the American people are going to be called on many times to prove their prowess in battle, and as volunteers will continue for a long time to make up a great part of the United States army in time of war, it becomes of the greatest value that the Americans should be good horse men. The superiority in horsemanship of the people of the Southern States of the Union has been frequently commented on, but it appears that this superiority in past years has grown decidedly more maiked. In the Northern States it seems that the people no longer ride horses, but have abandoned the saddle for the wheeled conveyance. In a recent issue of the New York Country Gentleman, a pe riodical devoted to rural interests, Mr. Ernest H. Crosby, of Dutchess County, in that diate, writes as fol lows: "Visitors of the South usually find much to criticise, but during a recent trip through Georgia and the Caro linas, I noticed one thing in whicb the South is far ahead of us at the North, and that is horsemanship. In aySouthern town on any day of the yelyou will see a dozen men on horseback, who have come in from the neighboring country and are tranacting their business there, and it is not uncommon to see a string of saddle horses tied up before a church door during Service. Every man who owns a horse or keeps a horse in the South knows how to sit on his back, and as riding is a fine manly exer cise, conducive to vigorous health and self-respect, the habit is a clear advantage to the community. "In the North, as we all know, our farmers have forgotten that the horse *can bear aman on his back, and they would as soon think of riding a cow. I doubt, if on an average, there is one saddle to fifty farms in the State of New York, and our boys are brought up in the stable without ever getting astride of a horse. It is a very great pity and distinct loss 'to the character of our people. The buggy is no substitute for the saddle. With' its comfortable seat. and high back, saddle invites an erect and vi rile attitude. On a large farm it is far more convenient to superintend operations from a saddle than from a wagon or on foot, and there is a good deal of business in town, not involv ing large packages, which can also be well attended to on horseback, and the saving in wear and tear on wheels would be worth considering, too. "We are usually told that people ride in the South because the roads are too bad for wagons. If good roads mean the neglect of this exer cise, I would go slow in urging the *improvement of them. But in the North we seem to fall between two stools, for we have neither the goodi roads nor the horsemanship. As a matter of fact, the good roads excuse is no excuse at all, for in England, where the roads are excellent, every body rides, and the farmer spends a goodly part of his life in the saddle, and would open his eyes wide at the idea of a farmer who did not know how to ride. "Can nothing be done to encour age horsemanship on the farm? We cannot expect much from the elderly men, but I am sore that the boys would take kindly to it, and I believe that a saddle on a farm would soon pay for itself in the saving of wagons and harness. It must be manifest1 to any one who thinks the matter over that it is absurd to leava riding to a millionaire class, with polo and steam yachting, when the farm e r's son is thrown with borses much' - - iL~ &L~ ~..L r~c a'~fl any rate, I, for one, am sorry to see the South so far superior to us in. this respect, and I hopo that, with the sad examplh of the North before them, our sontbern brekhren will not suffer the horseback habit to fall into disuse." It was mentioned some weeks ago 'that when President Roosevelt was vi.,itirg National Park at Chattanooga he was escorted by a detachment of Federal cavalry; but when the presi dent, who is a rough rider, broke into a fast gallop, the cavalrymeu, in try ing to follow him, were not eqnal to the pace, but many of them fell from their horses in a most disgraceful; manner. Such cavalry in a break neck charge, even if not a single gun were fired at them, would be de feated, if not destroyed, from ina bility to ride. Major Heros Von Borcke, an offi cer in the Prussian Dragoons, who became an officer in the Confederate cavalry, under the, celebrated Gene ral Stuart, in his "Memoirs of the Confederate War," published in 1866 in London and Edinburgh, by the famous Blackwood firm, declared that the Soutbern mounted troops were the best light cavalry in the world, and he excepted none, not even the Cossacks. Mounted men for rapid movements are What is wanted today in war, and the army, other tbirgs being equal, that possesses tho best. and the great e;t number of them, will wi[ in bat. tie. EMILE ZOLA'S SUDDEN DOATt. The Famous Nov.list Aeph3 zated by rnal Gas-Narrow Escapa of Zola's wife. The Couple had Just Returned from their Country Home to Paris. Paris, September 29.-Emile Zola, the novelist, who gained additional prominence in recent years because of his defence ok the Jews and of former Capt. Dreyfus, was found dead in his Paris home this morning. Aphyxiation, resulting from the fames of a stove in his bed room, is given as the cause of death. M. Zola and his wife retired at 3 o'clock last night. afadame Zola was seriously ill when the room was broken into this morning. About noon she was removed to a private hospital, where she recoved conscious ness for a short time and was able briefly to explain to a magistrate what had happened. M. and Mine Zola returned to Paris from their country house at Medan yesterday. Owing to a sudden spell of cold weather the heating stove in their bed room was ordered to be lighted. The stove burned badly and the pipes of the stove are said to have been out of order. To the magistrate a Mmne Zola ex plained that she woke early this morning with a splitting headache. She wakened her husband and asked him to open a window. She saw him rise and attempt to move to ward a window, but he staggered and fell to the floor unconscious. Mine Zola fainted at the same mo ment and was, therefore, unable to give the alaim. Mmne Zola does not know of her husband's death and it is feared she may sufier a relapse when informed of it. It is thought tonight, how ever, that she will recover. The death of M. Zola, which only became generally known late this af ternoon, has caused a GREAr SENSATION IN PARIS . and this evening there was a con stant stream of callers at the Zola residence. M. Zola's body lies upon a divan in the centre of the spacious drawing room of his house under a canopy of rare and. ancient hangings. The body is covered with a sheet a electric lamps throw their vivid light upon the waxlike features of the dead. They were good friends, and in their early days of indiffere'nce to femiinty had sigued and sesled a' contract which directed that the first one mnarried was to pay $25 to the other, says the Memphis News. Cupids in a freakish mood turned their attention to the same girl and in the end one ttiew captured tbe prize. The friendsbip that had stood the rivary without a crack did niot break wben the anniouucemnt of the wedding came from a n~ekrb city. Nothing daunted, the friendi and disappoints'd l':ve'r wat the follow ing telegram to his succesful rival: "I win and you lose. becau'e xou in and T lose."
