EX-OFFICER OF THE AMERICAN
ARMY.
Giving HU Vnlnnble Kiparltno. in
Fighting Indian* to tt»n Burgher
Cause—HU Keoord at Home a Credit¬
able On* V
America has contributed a promi¬
nent soldier of fortune to the war in
South Africa in the person of John Y.
Fillmore Blake, a graduate of West
Point and for nine years an officer in
the United States army. Blake has
had much experience In Indian fight¬
ing, and army officers who know him
take an additional Interest In the war
as the cable tells of British reverses
brought about by tactics similar to
those employed to whip the Indians.
Recent reports state that Blake, who
is said to have left Johannesburg at
the head of an Irish force, was with
Cronje at the Modder river, north of
which, at Magersfontein, the British
under Methuen were defeated and
hurled back. Blake's record in the
United States service Is a creditable
one. That much-scanned, much-con¬
densed book known as the Army Reg¬
ister has little to say of John Blake.
Put into English that little would read
something like this: “John Y. Fill-
more Blake, born in Missouri; appoint¬
ed to the Military Academy from Ar¬
kansas; became a cadet September 1,
1876; received his commission as sec¬
ond lieutenant June 12, 1880, and was
assigned to the Sixth cavalry; made
first lieutenant October 5, 1887, and re¬
signed from the service August 19,
1899.” But his brief record says noth¬
ing of nine years of the hardest kind
of service which the “galloping” Sixth
put In whipping hostile Apaches Into
submission. Nor is there the slightest
mention of a campaign that covered
Arizona, New Mexico, the panhandle,
the southern portion of the Indian ter¬
ritory and far into the land of the
Mexicans. Army officers are supposed
to know all of this and the register is
not Intended for civilians’ eyes.
Several months after Blake's gradu¬
ation from West Point the White
Mountain Apaches had shown signs
of desiring to take the war path and
Blake, who was sure of making the
cavalry, prayed that he would be or¬
dered to join the “galloping” Sixth,
then in Arizona under command of
Col. Eugene A. Carr. In May the
Apaches, under the leadership of the
medicine man and prophet Nockay-
detklinne, took the war path, and there
began a series of India atrocities ex¬
tending over a period of nine years,
which have never been approached in
the history of the southwest.
To his delight, Blake was ordered to
join his heart’s desire, and without a
thought of the three months' leave
which was his he flew across the con¬
tinent as fast as steam could carry
him. On reaching Chicago he learned
that troop M, to which he was- as¬
signed, had taken the field, but he was
to report at Fort Lowell, long since
abandoned, and ascertain, if possible,
its whereabouts. Two weeks later
"me fledgling from the Point” re¬
ported to his captain, William A. Raf¬
ferty, in the heart of the White Moun¬
tain district. The fact that a tender¬
foot had ridden through a hostile coun¬
try alone and found his troop was a
surprise to Rafferty.
It was early in this campaign that
Blake first met a man who became fa¬
mous at San Juan Hill, Gen. Adna R.
Chaffee, at that time captain of I troop
in the “galloping” Sixth. Two years
later “the man without a hurdle on
his straps” carried a message to that
beau ideal Indian fighter, the Gray
Fox, which resulted in the killing of
Nokaydetklinne at Cibiuc creek and
saved a squadron of the Sixth from
being massacred.
In those days the troops in the de¬
partment of Arizona spent most of
their time chasing Indians—Apaches,
Comanches, Cheyennes, Kiowas, Nava-
joes and Zuni—from the upper part of
the Indian territory far into Old Mexi¬
co. It was rarely they saw a garrison
unless sent home wounded or sick with
fever. And this was the sort of exist¬
ence led by Blake for nine years. When
his regiment did reach “God’s coun¬
try” all of the fight had been knocked
and licked out of the Indians in the
southwest and helpless settlers, ranch¬
ers and prospectors could travel the
land without fear of massacre.
Kassla Want* Typewriter*.
The latest Russian information re¬
ceived indicates that a considerable
modification of the imperial Russian
law affecWng the use of typewriters In
that country Is about to take place,
says the Detroit Free Press. Ijitherto
the use of this machine has been re¬
stricted to such individuals as could
obtain special permission, as it was
feared that the general use of this ap¬
paratus would greatly facilitate the
machinists of the nihilistic element.
Foreign business houses were almost
t <3 only ones making a liberal use of
the typewriter. Of late years, however,
Russian Industry and commerce have
extended at such rapid rate and the
educated element available for the
purpose of correspondence is relatively
so small that the Russian government
has at last admitted the necessity of
acceding to the wishes of Russian mer¬
chants. Of course, this means a con¬
siderable extension of American trade.

"NEW LEAVES” WET BLANKETS
Make Themselves end Everybody Around
Them Cnheppy.
Now comes the melancholy time of
year when everyone Is making resolu¬
tions not to do the things they like
best to do, and tho gloom and discon¬
tent and general all-around pessimism
attendant upon such heroics, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
“It’s all very well to resolve not to
smoke if it’s bad for the health and
pocket,” said a pretty girl at a part,y
the other evening. “But when a man
resolves not to smoke he ought also
to resolve not to look funereal over it,
and make all h!s friendB yearn to sup¬
ply him with pipes and cigars the In¬
stant he puts his gloomy face in the
door. It’s bad enough to dance with
men who tell you frankly that parties
are bores and that, they’ve only come
to oblige Mrs. C., but to have to sit
and talk to a man whose mind is in
the clouds, whoso nerves are in a
jangle, and whore face suggests the
‘knight of the rueful countenance’—
and all on account of some ascetic
resolution—is too great a tribute to
pay to the new year, and I, for one,
cross reformed smokers and new leaves
generally off my list of nice men. What
a cruel and immoral proceeding. Think
of Billy Strongly. Now, there's a new
leaf who looks jolly and gay, and he
swore by the bunch of mistletoe at
Mrs. Van Dusen’u ball that he wasn’t
going to stay up till 1 o’clock a single
night this season. Oh, I don’t mind
Billy Van Dusen. He likes ‘Cinderel-
las' any way, and he won’t keep his
resolution long enough to make any¬
body unhappy. When it begins to bore
him and his friends, why, he’ll just
break it and people will say, ‘How like
Billy.’ It’s the stern, ascetic men who
do things they don’t want to do be¬
cause they want to do them, and for
no other reason; that I object to. Do
you follow me?” ‘Oh, yes,” faintly.
“So, if you really intend to read Mr.
Howells and Thomas Hardy all winter
and never go to the theater to see any¬
thing gayer than Duse, why, just let
me know. I am frank and I try to bo
fair. But I don’t like unhappy, strong-
minded persons. If it hurts to be good,
why, jnst let me know, that’s all.”
BOY SWALLOWS FISHHOOK.
His Life Saved by a Common Sense
Physician.
Early in my husband’s professional
career, says the wife of a busy physi¬
cian in What to Eat, he was called In
haste to the assistance of a boy who
in some way had succeeded in lodging
a fishhook In his throat. It was such
a queer accident that we could not
help laughing over it, despite the grav¬
ity of the case. Arming himself with
various instruments for the dislodging
of foreign bodies in the throat, the
young doctor hurried away to find,
upon arrival, the features of the case
entirely changed by the lad having
swallowed the hook. The parents
were naturally much alarmed over the
outcome of the unheard-of accident,
and in the excitement everybody was
prescribing what to do. Some were for
pouring emetics down his throat, oth¬
ers suggested the stomach pump or a
knife as the only means of sav.ng his
life, while others were for dosing him
liberally with oil. While questioning
the boy regarding the size, and so
forth, of the hook, merely to gain time
for thought, my husband, calling com¬
mon sense to his aid, directed that the
boy be allowed to eat all the solid
food he could manage to digest, being
aware that the safety of the delicate
organs through which the hook must
pass depended solely on imbedding its
cruel points in a mass of solids, so as
to protect the surrounding tissues. The
amount of bread, meat, potatoes and
other solids that that boy managed to
put out of sight that evening aston¬
ished even those who knew something
of the capacity of a boy's stomach.
Only the minimum of fluids was al¬
lowed, and, well, the young doctor was
gratified, to be assured, on the follow¬
ing day, that his original method of
treating fishhooks was both safe and
practical. This Is an accident not
likely to become epidemic, but I re¬
peat the formula, not knowing but
that it might prove advantageous in
other emergencies, such as sometimes
arise when any sharp or jagged edgsd
bodies, such as pins, needles, tacks or
bits of glass have been swallowed.
Value of Pictures.
Pictures do mors toward furnishing
a house and determining the status of
its inmates than anything else. If you
have a suspicion that you are not wise
in choosing and hanging pictures, get
advice from someone whose taste need
not be questioned, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Cheap pictures are not nec¬
essarily poor, but a poor picture is
usually cheap. To be able to discern
the difference is a quality with which
every one is not blessed. A good plan
is to purchase copies of famous pic¬
tures, etchings and engravings. These
are almost sure to be good. In fram¬
ing pictures remember that gold
frames are for oil paintings and dark
pictures, white frames for water col¬
ors, and black enamel or Flemish oak
and modern oak for etchings and
photographs.

Mil. HORACE WHITE.
REACHES THE TOP AFTER
MANY YEARS.
ileal SucoMa In Journalism Is Hard to
Attain—A Tormsr Westerner In the
Chair of Authority on New York
1’osL
The practical management of the
New York Evening Post has fallen into
the hands of Horace White. The re¬
cent retirement, owing to ill health,
of E. L. Godkln has given to Mr. White
what is equivalent to supreme control
of all the departments. Mr. White
was born In Colebrook, Coos county,
New Hampshire, Aug. 10, 1834. His
father, like Dewey's, was a prominent
physician, having a practice which ex¬
tended far beyond the limits of the
small community in which he lived.
But even prominence in medical prac¬
tice in those days did not bring flnan-

rial remuneration sufficient to gratify
the desires of an ambitious man. The
son was scarcely three years old when
the father-physician decided to seek
new fortune in the opening west.
Chicago, even in those days, offered
many inducements to eastern men to
locate there, but it is singular that
southern Wisconsin then appeared to
offer greater advantages. Dr. White
■was one of those New England men
who thought southern Wisconsin a
Mecca for new homeseekers. Before
leaving Colebrook he excited the de¬
sires of his friends and neighbors, and
organized among them a New England
colony destined to settle in the west.
Railroads were unknown, stages were
infrequent and travel a hardship. But
Dr. White, as the advance agent of this
New England colony, was’sent to Wis¬
consin to open the way and arrange
for the coming of the colonists. He
left Colebrook in the winter of 1836-
37, making the entire Journey to what
is now Beloit on a one-horse sled. Be¬
loit was not even a settlement at that
time, but Dr. White chose it as the
resting place for the New Englanders,
and returned to bring them and his
family on. He came to Beloit for
permanent residence in 1837, bringing
his son Horace, his wife and the re¬
maining children with him. He died
there in 1843, leaving Horace, as the
eldest son, to be the aid of his mother
snd the younger children. At an early
age Horace entered Beloit college,
from which he graduated with the
highest honors in 1853. Then he went
to Chicago. This was the time when
editorial pages of great newspapers
made and unmade parties and often
caused the government to change its
policy. Greeley was having great in¬
fluence upon the newspaper writers of
the east. Medill had already begun
to affect those of the west. Mr. White
studied the characteristics of each, but
followed neither. He became the local
editor of The Evening Journal, and
in 1855, the same year that Mr. Medill
and Dr. Ray became so powerful in
Chicago, he was made agent of the
Associated Press, and resigned his po¬
sition on The Journal. Just before
the civil war began Mr. White was sec¬
retary of the Republican state central
committee of Illinois, and held that
position until 1864. During this same
period he was special correspondent
of The Chicago Tribune at Washing¬
ton, and met and interviewed every
great public man of the war period.
Worldly wealth came to him and he
was able to bay a heavy interest in
The Tribune and become the editor-
in-chief, which position he held until
1874, when he retired and made an ex¬
tensive tour through Europe. On his
return from Europe he became an
editorial writer on The New York
Evening Post.
Mongeese or Mongooses.
There is a young man uptown with
a fondness for pets that are a bit out
of the ordinary. A friend traveling
in the West Indies forwarded him a
mongoose, and with this addition to
his menagerie he was happy. Two
weeks ago another arrived, and now
the owner of the menagerie is miser¬
able. He does not know whether to
call the two "mongooses,” or to refer
to them as "mongeese.” Just now he
does this sort of thing when he meets
an acquaintance who is familiar with
his fad: “You know that mongoose
that Tom sent me last summer? Well,
he has sent me another, and they are a
lively pair, I assure you.” “What are
you going to do with them, raise
mon—, eh, whatever you call ’em, for
the market?” “Can’t do that, you
know, for both of my mon—, what-
ever you call ’em, are males.” "Better
kill one of them at once, then; a fel-
low’ll know what to call one of them,
but when it comes to referring to more
than that single one, you’ll have every¬
body crazy trying to guess which is
the right thing as between mongeese
and mongooses.”—New York Times.

BIG GRAY EAGLE
Btroopa Down Upon n Group of Boys
■tod Tries tn Cal eh One.
The bold attack of a huge eagle upon
a 6-year-old boy on the street, the val-
ltant fight of another lad with the
bird of freedom, and its subsequent
capture created a great stir in Cam¬
den. A group of boys, whose ages
range from 6 to 10 years, were playing
with thslr sleds upon the sidewalk In
front of the Jesse W. Starr public
school, at Eighth and Line streets, Just
before noon. They were having fine
sport, all unmindful of danger, when
one of them exclaimed: "O-o—o-o—
look at dat big bird!” The lads looked
up and beheld a huge, dark bird hov¬
ering high in the air, Just over their
heads. They watched It until they
grew weary, and they went on with
their play, but every few minutes they
cast their eyes upward, and the bird
was still there. They saw it for an
hour, and had almost forgotten it when
suddenly there came a swish and rush
through the air. ‘There comes the
bird!" cried the now frightened lads.
Sure enough, the aerial mystery was
swooping down Into the crowd. It had
evidently singled out one boy, for It
made straight for 6-year-old Willie
Campbell, the son of Mrs. Elizabeth
Campbell of 776 Line street. The lit¬
tle fellow started to run, screaming
with fright, and the bird, which proved
to be a huge gray eagle, was about to
sink its talons in his head when 8-
year-old Morgan Wright, son of Justice
of the Peace Wright, came running up
with a club. The eagle’s attention was
diverted to the brave lad with the club,
for he was using it with all the
strength of his little arms. The big
bird of freedom flew about to escape
the club, and struck the iron pickets
of the schoolhouse fence. This seemed
to stun the eagle, for it dropped to the
ground and lay apparently helpless. In
this condition it was captured by the
boys and carried in triumph to the of¬
fice of Justice Wright, at Eighth and
Pine streets. Thero an improvised
cage was made for it, and hundreds
viewed the bird during the day. While
the eagle Is a large one, it is believed
to be young and not fully grown. Its
menacing beak and talons have so far
prevented any measurement.—Pitts¬
burg Commercial Gazette.
RAISED $10,000 FOR CHARITY,
Bright and clever Miss Eva Mudge
has richly deserved and won popular¬
ity and success. Her sympathetic lit¬
tle heart early decided her career. As
good as she is liberal, she has for
some years past been engaged in en¬
tertaining select circles with song and
impersonation. At six years of age
she attracted public attention by her
remarkable musical gifts, being en¬
gaged at that time to sing at a recep¬
tion at the White House, Washingtou,
D. C., by President and Mrs. Cleve¬
land. Twice since that time she has
appeared in entertainments at the
White House, and has been constantly
engaged in giving songs and recitals
during the twelve years past. Miss
Mudge lias been specially noted for her
warm interest in charity work, and
two beautiful gold medals have been
given her In commemoration of her j
services In this direction, one by her I
society and professional friends, and
the other, set with diamonds, by the
New York press. She enjoys the proud i
and enviable distinction of having
given more to the poor than any other j
girl of her age in the country. Her
latest achievement Is the rendition, in
a Stonewall Jackson suit and hat, of
the famous poem, “Barbara Frietchie,”
which aptly displays her accomplish¬
ments. The musical setting enables
her the free use of a rich contralto
voice. Miss Mudge is a lineal descend-

FLOGGINQ IN BRITISH NAVY.
Still In rrmotlco, a« th« Following Ac-
count Shown.
On Sept. 23 Thomas MeOcehan, lute
second-class leading stoker of her
majesty's ship Doris, was flogged at
Simon's Town for the offense of ma¬
lingering, says London Truth, The re¬
port of the circumstances, which ap¬
peared In tho Western Morning News
of Oct. 24, Is not very lucid, but I gath¬
er from It that the mallngerlmg took
place while the man was undergoing
a sentence of Imprisonment on the
Penelope for striking a chief stoker. A
"medical survey” was first held on the
accused, which presumably resulted In
a finding that he had been shamming
sickness. On this a board of three of¬
ficers sentenced the man to eighteen
lashes. "After receiving eleven lashes,"
said ihe report, "the prisoner became
Insensible, and the medical officer
present (the stafT surgeon of the Mon¬
arch) stopped the cruel proceeding,
and the wretched man was borne
bleeding and senseless to his cell.”
There does not appear, therefore, to he
any suggestion that he was malinger¬
ing this time. The Western Morning
News, In chronicling this Incident, ex¬
presses the hope that it may lead to a
renewed agitation for the abolition of
flogging In the navy. 1 can hardly con¬
ceive It possible that any one possessed
of ordinary human feeling will fall to
Join us in this hope. As to the de¬
sirability of corporal punishment,
whether in the navy or elsewhere, for
certain peculiarly brutal classes of
crime, opinion may difTer. But the
Idea of fiorging a man senseless for
such a trumpery offense as that of pre¬
tended sickness to evade prison disci¬
pline is revolting in the most elemen¬
tary feelings of Justice and humanity.
The reader will note that this poor
wretch was sentenced (by three officers
commanding her majesty’s ships^ and
with the approval of the commander-
in-chlef of the station) to receive
eighteen lashe3, and what that punish¬
ment would have meant, had It been
carried out. may be Judged from the
fact that the man had become sense¬
less from pain and a medical officer
had to interfere before two-thirds of
the sentence had been executed. Such
a result, considered In conjunction
with the paltry character of the
“crime” for which this murderons pen¬
alty was imposed, should convince any
one of the utter unfitness of many of
our naval officers to be intrusted with
such powers over their subordinates.
GAVE BOY A TONIC CAPSULE.
Reward for the floneety and Cheek of
n Zealous Bellboy.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat: A well-known drug drummer,
who Is paying his regular holiday visit
to New Orleans, took the train last
Monday evening for a little side trip
to Baton Rouge and in the hurry of
his departure left a handsome bone-
handled umbrella hanging on a hook
in the lobby of the hotel. It was a
tempting prize, but probably every
kleptomaniac who saw it supposed the
owner was seated near at hand. At
any rate, It remained undisturbed and
was still there yesterday when the
drummer returned. “By the way,” he
remarked, after he exchanged greet-
mgs with the clerk, '‘I’ve managed
somehow to lose my new bone-handled
umbrella. Have any of you seen such
a thing lying around the office?” A
quick-witted bellboy heard the ques-
tj 0I1 an( ; i giacing around, saw the miss-
ing article hanging within a foot of his
head. Supposing it had been there for
only a few moments, he promptly
grasped the ferrule. "Is this the one?”
he inquired. “Yes!” exclaimed the
traveler, delighted, “and I must say I’m
surprised nobody has nipped it!” “Aw,
they couldn’t do that," replied the bell
boy, “I’ve been holdin’ on to It fer y’
ever since y’ hung it up.” The drug
drummer stopped with his hand half
way down his pocket and a whimsical
smile overspread his countenance.
“Well,” he said slowly, “I was intend¬
ing to give you half a dollar, but if
you’ve been holding that umbrella for
three consecutive days you’re more in
need of a tonic. Here is a capsule of
quinine and iron.” The gloom which
settled down upon the bell bench might
have been hewn with an ax.
Ostrich Spoiled III* Speech.

the repeal of the Sherman silver bill
would hardly believe that anything
coud stump him. Yet there is an ex¬

shows that, after all, be is like unto
other mortals, says the Washington
Post. “I was campaigning In my
state once,” said the senator, "when I
had occasion to speak at a fair
grounds. The grand stand was full,
and the occasion seemed to be full of
promise for an orator overflowing as
l was with political gospel. Just as I
had commenced a man brought out an
ostrich hitched to a sulky. I don’t
know whether you ever saw the trot¬
ting ostrich in the east, but out west
he was a great attraction. Well, as
soon as that bird began to run around
the track I wasn’t in it. The ostrich
monopolized the attention of every
man, woman and child. When the
bird stopped the people listened to me,
but when he threw out his long legs
again there was a roar of laughter and
applause which drowned every word I
uttered. Finally, I gave it up. 1 let

these people are cured every year by
