WEST POINT ESCAPADES.
The Great Night Disturbance of 1880
Recalled.
From the New York Evening Post.
Washington, May 27.—What military of
ficers most condemn in the recent esca
pade at West Point, which has cost
several cadets so dear, is its near ap
praoch to technical mutiny. They reason
that, from posting the reveille-gun in
front of the commandant's quarters with
the muzzle aimed straight at his door,
to loading and firing it in that direction,
would have been but a short step, just
as imitating a signature for amusement
now and tnen heads a person towards
forgery.
The guns at the Point, however, have
always played a conspicuous part in the
outlaw revelries of the cadets. One in
stance is well remembered by officers
who have not yet grown very gray, and
has been recalled by the events of the
last few weeks. It was in 1880. Coi. H.
M. .uazehe was then Commandant of
Cadet:-, and Capt. Edward J. McClemand
one of the tactical officers. Those were
the days of sctrfct dlcipline, before base
ball and football and other undignified
but healthful sports had received the
sanction of the authorities and given the
youngsters a chance to work off some
of their superfluous energy. Both the
officers mentioned were pretty keen dis
ciplinarians, and, as a consequence, not
ovcrffowii’i with popularity in the student
circle.
Word had passed around the Academy,
by that freemasonary which eludes all
pursuit, that the last night of the year
was to be celebrated, by a somewhat
noisy demonstration of the cadets’ affec
tion for McClernand, and he, getting
wind of it, had asked specially to be
made officer In charge for that night.
After bedtime he made repeated visit*
to the barracks, but not a sound wat
audible anywhere.. The cadets seemed to
be sleeping the sleep of the Just, and
every light was out. The chapel clock
was striking the midnight hour, when a
tremendous roar shook the houses at the
post. The post commander, the tactical
officers, and others rushed out of their
quarters, fearing that the magazine had
been blown up. Investigation showed that
the noise came from the field battery
guns, ail of which had been discharged.
The mountains were still faintly echoing
the roar when it was followed by a can
nonade at Trophy Point, where several
of the captured Mexican guns were kept.
McClernand had meanwhile hastened to
the barracks, but the first door he tried
he found locked. He tried a second and
<i third with the same result, and then
dispatched an orderly for an axe. Before
it could be brought, another explosion
sounded from the roof of the barracks.
This proved to be one of the 600-pound
Mexican brass guns which the young
mischief-makers had dragged, early In
the evening, from Trophy Point, .three
eights of a mile distant, and then up
stairs to the roof. The explosions were
timed in such order that the gun on the
roof should not be discharged till the
eadets who had tyre the field battery had
had a chance to get back to quarters.
Resolved to bring the boys to terms,
and that quickly, McClernand organized
the other tactical officers Into an assault
ing party; but as they approached the
burracks. windows were suddenly opened
and hands thrust out, eacn holding a
lighted Roman candle, from which balls
or Are shot directly at the officers. Two
or three time, th* assaulting party charg
ed. only to face the Roman-canle tire
again and be turned back; and In all
this time not a cadet had shown his face
or any part of his person which would
serve to Identify him.
At a safe dlatance McClernand called
for fhe cadet officers on duty, but not
one responded. The assaulting party then
broke Into separate group*, one of them
smashed a door In, and a eystematic ex
amination of the building was made. In
a small room were found the cadet of
ficers bound, gagged, and locked In. All
tby ’ oould say for themselves was that

each had been oaptured separately by
two or three nlen in civilian's dress, A
Search of the rest of the building showed
every oadet in bed and every room in
perfect order.
The question, how the young 'fellows
had contrived to do all this without de
tection, was the subject of a long and
exhaustive investigation. It then came out
that, as already stated, the Mexicans’
gun on the roof had been taken thither
by hand. What an effort this cost may
be judged by the fact that it took a com
pany of engineers two days to restore
the piece to its place. The powder was
obtaned by the practice of economy. For
six weeks the cadets had been slyly ex
tracting powder from their exercise car
tridges and secreting it where it could be
gathered up in bulk when necessary. As
the outside explosions were at consider
able distances apart, the group told off
for the first had a hard time getting
back to their barracks. The distance to
be covered was about a half-mile, the
snow was more than a foot deep, and sen
tries and strolling officers had to be
avoided, fhe boys having climbed up
dangling ropes, hand over hand, and got
in at the windows. One cadet on one of
the firing squads lost his way and fell
behind. On getting into barracks, the
leader discovered his absence; but Jt was
observed from a window that the missing
boy had some within sight of the build
ing, and was hiding in the shadow of a
tree. The leader ran down stairs, unbarred
the door nearest the hiding cadet, and
whistled. The cadet made a run for it,
his companions sendtng off a second vol
ley of Homan candies to distract the at
tention of the bgslegers. A few of the
latter caught sight of the lad as he was
darting through the door, and started
after him, only to have the door slammed
in their faces, and to hear the bars'wlth
in slide into place.
In this Instance, the investigators con
cluded that the entire cadet corps was
involved in the scrape, and that to punish
a few of them for the sins of all would
appear invidious. The matter was there
fore dropped. This was perhaps the most
serious cadet revolt in the history of the
Academy. F. E. L.

(From the New York Evening Post.)
Washington, May 22.—Yankee Ingenuity
and commercial vigor are doing wonder
ful things in the Holy Land. Until a few
years ago, it Is said tjiat if one of the
prophets had returned to the scenes of
his earthly activities he would have had
little difficulty In recognizing them, ex
cept for the change in the character of
the population. The hills and valley* of
old Judea had otherwise taken little not;
of the flight' of the centuries. But our
consuls write to the Department of State
that times are changing even in Palesyne
and Syria. The railway from Joppa to
Jerusalem, at first an expertment, has
been put upon a paying basts, and other
lines which will connect it with points
of Interest up and down the valley of the
Jordan have been projected or are actual

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. JUNE 6. 1001.
As the oak is king of the forest, so
plantation
is king of all Chill and Fever Cures.
there are now electric lights, telephones,
phonographs, sanitary 1 plumbing, modern
stores, houses built wffh “a. m. i.,” and.
in short, most of the comforts of civilized
life. Trolley lines are talked of to con
nect Jerusalem with Bath&ny, Bethlehem,
the Lake of Galilee, Samaria, Jericho,
Nazareth, and other places made familiar
through Bible history. With the intro
duction of these insignia of modern ac
tivity. the Palestine of the past will
vanish.
It is related that an American travel
ling salesman recently went to Jerusalem
and Beirut, and in one day sold merchan
dise of an up-to-date type to the amount
of $3,800. Commission houses for the
handling of American goods have been
opened in Vearly every city and town of
importance In Palestine and Syria and in
many Instances they are conducted by
wide-awake American business men. In
a single month this year one of the houses
Imported American leather to the value
of S7OO. Another has established a market
for American flour, and predicts that in
a few years the people of the Holy Land
will be good consumers of this staple.
Cffeap American watches are in demand,
and have been sold to scores of the na
tives, who regard them with increasing
favor.
More than 200 phonographs wore recent
ly sent there, one-half going to Damascus
and the rest to Jerusalem and near-Dy
places. The best customers for talking
machines, it is said, are the Moslems of
Bolrut, JerusaK-m, and Damascus, w r ho
buy them for their harems. One commis
sion house at Beirut has bought, accord
ing to G. Bie Ravndal, the American
Consul, a $350 windmill from an Illinois
firm, and will erect it on the Bakna plain.
This firm is confident that there is to
be an important market for windmills In
Palestine and Syria, and for Irrigation
machinery of all sorts. Rich foreigners
are figuring to secure control of some of
the once fertile valleys of the country,
and should they succeed there will be an
attempt to make them again a "land
flowing with milk and- honey.” Tl\ese
foreigners in most Instances are Jews,
who die leaders in the "Back to Jerusa
lem" movement which has been preached
so eloquently by Israel Zangwlll and
others.

Speaking once more of windmills, a
17-horse-power machine has been in
stalled in the interior, west of the Jor
dan, for flour-grinding purposes, and an
other large one, bought in Chicago, is
Just going up at Yafa. Even American
beer has found its way into the country.
One tirtn has sold to date 519 oases of 48
bottles eueh,- and another has recently
received 150 cases direct from Milwaukee.
The municipality of Beirut has added a
$3,300 steam street roller to its public
equipment, and this is the qnly steam
roller now In Turkey In Asia, although
the way is opening for others.
It would be a long story to fell of all
the articles of American make, which
are now selling In the Land of Promise,
but the latest, according to consular ad
vices, are cotton fabrics, rope, shoes,
clocks, paper, carriage leather, bicycles,
coal, wire nails, paints, hardware, elec
trical novelties of all sorts, iron bars,
steel beams, well-drilling machinery,
garden tools, a line line of agricultural
machinery, canned meat, cornmeal, oat
meal, mechanic*' tools, etc. Wire nails
to the value of almost $5,000 were sold
in Syria last year, all cotrilng from this
country.
Thus Is nnclervt Syria giving place to
modern Syria, and the work is going
forward with a will. Important commer
cial concessions have been secured from
the Sultan, who appeal's to be favorably
disposed to the modernizing of this part
of his dominions, and is watching the.
experiment with Interest. The Turkish
authorities have themselves been buyers
of American wnres. Within the last year
they have arranged for the sinking of a
large number of wells along the historic
pilgrimage route to Mecca and are pro
viding them with windmills. In this way
It Is believed that the hardships of the
annual pilgrimage con be lessened, and
the pilgrim* kept In reasonably good
health. The sickness of former years, it
is assented, has been almost entirely due
to the impure wpter along the troute.
BOSTON ONCE RECEIVED A 111.
It Wns U in n llluckuilcil l>y the llrlt-
Islt, mid then Montreal Contribu
ted.
From the Boston Herald.
The Jacksonville relief fund ('alls very
pertinently to mind a similar effort ill va
rious parts of the American colonies, 120
years ago, for the relief of Boston.
The Boston patriots for some, years be
fore 1774 had justly been growing rest
less and uneasy over the idea of taxation
without representation. The sugar tax,
Imposed by Parliament upon one of life's
necessities, the odious stamp act, and the
still more odious admiralty court, giving
the presiding judge 5 per cent, of his con
demnations of private property as his part
of the spoils, to make him zealous in the
performance of his duties, had stirred the
average Bostonian of the ante-Revolu
tionary days to the utmost limit of indig
nation and resentment, and when that car
go of tea, tipon which the English im
porters were allowed a drawback for ship
ping it to America, arrived here, it was
very properly and promptly thrown over
board.
Asa retaliatory act came the Boston
port or blockade measure, which closed
the port of ‘Boston to commerce and nav
igation. The channel through which the
good people of this patriotic town on
Massachusetts bay bad been getting the
bulk of their supplies needed for their
15,000 Inhabitants was guarded by British
warships; Boston was completely shut out
from the doromercial world, and had to
fall back on it* home resources for the
necessities of its existence.
The Port act went Into effect In March,
1774, and all the other colonies, as well
as that of Massachusetts Bay, regarded
the event as a calamity of nd small Im
portance to the whole country. Whether
such an understanding was absolutely
needed or not, the people of the Inland
towns of Massachusetts, as well as the
people of all the colonies, so far as they
were able to do so, joined In sending a
donation of money and supplies to the
beleaguered Bostonians, and the perusal
of the list of subscribers, as well a* that
of the various supplies forwarded, illus
trates the fact that the people of those
remote days, like their descendants of the

Van Vleet-Manstield Drug Cos. : —I ana
out of business, but want to say one word in
praise of Plantation Chill Cure; I consider
it the best chill tonic on earth. To show it
is to sell it. In all my sales I have never

Water Valley, Miss., Feb. 4, 1898.
Gentlemen: —I have been using your
Plantation Chill Cure for three years in my
family, and I cannot recommend it too
highly ; have never known it to fail to cure
chills and fever. Last spring our little boy
was taken with pneumonia, and we used
Plantation Chill Cure, “Tasteless,” in place
of quinine to keep down the fever ; it acts
like a charm. ALBERT BROOKS.
Munford, Tenn., Jan. 17, 1898.
Gentlemen : —Regarding your Planta
tion Chill Cure, I take pleasure in saying it
“beats the world.” Heretofore in my neigh
borhood there were at least half a dozen
kinds of chill cures, hut your preparation
has supplanted them ail, and nothing else is
sold in this vicinity but your Chill Cure.
The only trouble is that the medicine seems
to cure everybody permanently, which is an
objection to the merchant. Years ago,
when selling various chill preparations,
they would temporarily cure my customers,
but yours cures permanently,—“bad luck
to it.” I have sold the cure for three years,
and only had one bottle returned under
your guarantee. Yours truly,

“Tasteless” or “Plain.**
present time, felt the truth of that oft
repeated assertion.
One touch of nature makes all the world
kin,
and that human nature was very much
the same then as now.
One of the curious Items was a Montreal
contribution, Montreal at that time be
ing supposed to be strictly loyal to the
home country, and unwilling to give aid
and comfort to the enemies of the King,
llut Montreal, It must be remembered,
had only been an English town about ten
years, and the lingering fondness for the
old French regime must have been large
ly responsible for this Boston subscrip
tion.
Far-off South Carolina was not at ail
backward in showing Its practical sym
pathy for the blockaded Bostonians, the
Palmetto state forwarding two large cash
subscriptions and presumably a cargo of
rice. This feature of Boston's donation
partly only illustrates anew that old tie
of sympathy existing between the. two
states (iown to 1981, and since substan
tially renewed to remain, it Is to be hoped,
unbroken. Philadelphia sent a generous
supply of flour. Virginia sent large
amounts of grain, other states forwarded
reminder* of sympathy. Dominica, in the
West Indies, saw the need of cocoa,
while a cargo of corn blown offshore, and
credited to Virginia, must have betfn
landed somewhere else than Boaton and
transported overland to lta destination.
In Littleton’s contribution was one Item
of pink flowers, which must have been
regarded In the light of a sentimental af
fection for the distressed people of the
royally obnoxious town, and appreciated
accordingly.
The last item was dated April 17, 1770,
or only two days before the battles at
Lexington and Concord, whtoh at once set
the whole country on Are, every com
munity arming Itself for the contest then
plainly made manifest, and the contribu
tions for the relief of Boaton ceased to
flow.
EXPRESSION “HE'S A BRICK.”
Unite * Venerable Representative of
glaum Literature.
From the Woman’s Home Companion.
The expression "He’s a brick,” which
1* now a family byword, is first found in
Plutarch. The whole phrase is expres
sive of every form of admiration. The
Spartans, quick-witted and noted for
their repartee, were early trained In both
schools. They were men of few words,
and fewer law*, end embodied In short
phrases their admiration, dislike or ap
preciation. Lycurgu* was not only a
man of few word*, but quick action. On
being asked, "Should Sparta be inclosed?”
an Invasion of the enemy being expected
during the time of war, replied: "A clly
is well fortified which has a wail of men
Instead of brick.”
Avery clover story Is told of the diplo
matic mission from the Court of Epirus.
The ambassador, being shown over tho
city by the King, expressed surprise that
no wall# were built around Hparta for
Its defense. "Walls?” cried the King.
“Thou esnst not have looked carefully!
To-morrow we will go together and I
will' show you the walls of Sparta." On
the following day the King led his guest
to where! his entire army was drawn up.
Pointing with great pride to the magnifi
cent bad*’ of men, he exclaimed, "There
thou beholdest the walls of Spurt*, and
every man a brick!"
THE PITT DIAMOND.
History and $ nine of One of Hie
World's Greatest Gems.
From "For Bt. George.”
While Pitt, the grandfather of Lord
Chatham, was governor of Fort St.
George, in 1689, he became acquainted with
a Jewel merchant named Jamchund. who
brought a diamond of great size for Male.
He asked (30,000 for It In the rough.
It should, of course, have -been bought
on behalf of the company, but Pitt, see
ing money in it, could not resist the
temptation of making a private bargain.
He became the possessor of the stone for
the sum of £20,400, and he was quite satis
fied that he had behaved honorably when
he paid the man, who, on his part, was
also content. Hut the diamond was known
to be worth more than Jamchund had re
ceived, and the transaction gave rise to
a. great deal of gossip, which in no way
decreased when later on Pitt had the
slone cut In England and sold it to the
regent of France for £135,000. Even that
enormous sum did not represent its true
value. The stone was art in the royal
crown of France, and It Is valued In the
present day cldse upon half a million
sterling. It weighed 410 carats In the
rough, but the cutting reduced It to 136
carats.
