THE "EvENI

’HE CAUGHT JEFF DAVIS.
New Story of the Confederate Chiefs Cap-
ture in Hoops.

‘ William P. Stedman, the man who
actually captured J efierson Davis when
the President of the late Confederacy
was trying to escape, is now a messen-
ger in the Agricultural Department,
where he was appointed by Secretary
Morton two 01‘ three years ago. Mr.
Stedman is a resident of Owosso, Mich.,
and has been engaged in farming since
the war. '

He is an unpretentious man, but talks
and writes well, and his recollection of
the histOrical events in which he was
the second actor of importance is very
clear. .

The story he tells is that while at
Abbeville, Ga., on May 9, 1865, Col.
Pritchard of the Fourth Michigan Cav-
alry met Col. Harnden of the First
Wisconsin, who informed them that
Jefferson Davis and some other refu-
gees from Richmond had crossed the
river the night before; that he had
been following them for two days and
claimed the right of way. Col. Pritch-_
ard acceded, and ofiered to lend a part
of his regiment, which Col. Harnden
declined, and proceeded south on the
trail of Mr. Davis.

Pritchard afterward learned that
there was another road in the same
direction, and taking 120 of his best
.mounted men, started to follow it;
That night they accidentally ran, upon
the camp of Mr. Davis’s party, which
they surrounded and waited for day-
light.

“As I sat by in the morning,” said
Mr. Stedman, “some of our men went to
the tent door,_but, were met by a woman

who asked them 5to keep' out, as there

were undressed womentiwithin'. SOOn
after she enquired if we would let her
servants go after some water. , Consent
was given, when out came a tall per-
son with a woman’s waterproof over-
dress on, and a small brown shawl on
her head, a tin pail on the right arm

, and a negro woman leaning on the left

arm.

“The tall person was stooping over as
if to appear shorter. I concluded it
must be Davis in disguise, and as the
guards did not halt them, Irode around,
recognized Davis and told him his dis
guise would not succeed.

“A man of the name of Andrew Bee,
a Swede, who was cook for Co]. Pritch-
ard, came up on the run, grabbed both
hands into the front of the dress that
Davis had on, jerked it open and said
to him: ‘Come out of this, you old
devil'l’

“Davis, at this attack, straightened
up and showed anger. At the same
time he put his hand to his back under
his dress. I thought he was after a re-
volver, and covered him with my car-
bine. But Mrs. Davis threw herself in
front of the gun and cried out that her
husband was not armed. Davis then
took ofi his dress and shawl, threw
them on the ground, and started back
to his tent. The clothing is now in the
War Department.

"When Col. Pritchard came up short-
ly after, Davis was sitting on a log,
across the road from his tent, calm and
cool. Col. Pritchard asked him what
his name was. He answered:

“ .‘You may call me what name you
please.’

“Col. Pritchard placed the prisoner
in my charge, and as we sat by the fire
a soldier by the name of Lynch came
up leading a fine bay horse and said:

“J efiie. hereis your horse; you won’t
need him any more; won’t you give him
to mei’

“Davis did not ‘ answer; but Col.
Lubbock, one of his attendants; became
very angry, and declared that he would
not see his President insulted. Lynch
responded with an-oath:

“ ‘What is he President of?’

“Lynch and one of his officers after
wards quarrelled about this horse, and
on Saturday morning shot him. Lynch
is the same man who got Mrs. Davis’s
valise containing her valuables, said to
amount to several thousand dollars.
He hid it near Macon, and went there
and got it after he was discharged from
the army.

“There was. no violent language used
in my hearing except by Andrew ,Bee,
when he tore open the waterproof on
Mr. Davis.”—Chicago Record.

 

A FLOATING THEATRE.

 

Amusement Place on the
Mississippi.

Probably the most remarkable thea-

A Novel

7 tre in the world is that which begins its

spring tour of the Mississipi river this
week. It is a large steamboat, owned
by a Chicago man, provided with an
auditorium, in "which theatrical per-
formances are given each afternoon and
evening. The floating theatre has been
doing duty on the Mississippi for many
years, and was once one of the great
attractions of the life along the big;
river.

Usually only vaudeville performances '

are given on the boat, but sometimes a
drama is attempted. The actors are
gathered .from all parts of the compass,
and many of them are men and women
who stand high in their specialties and
who take this way of get-ting a change
of scene inexpensively. Comfortable
quarters are arranged on the boat for
both crew and actors, and they make
their temporary home there.

During the night the boat moves
down upon the various towns on its
schedule. In the morning the hoarse
notes of a calliope announce its pres-
ence. Sometimes a little bill posting is
done previously, and sometimes adver.
tising in other ways when necessary.

The crowd attracted by the noise of the '

steam piano and the bright colors of
the gaudilydecorated boat begin to
come early, and by afternoon an audi-
ence willing to pay the low price of ad-
mission. usually 15 and 25 cents, is
gathered. After the evening perform-
ance the boat moves on again. ’

PATRIOTISM - ABOVE-7 EDUCATION.7

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt’s Instructivr
Article. '

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, In an arti
ole in the Bachelor of Arts, writes. vig-
orously and instructively of education.
and patriotism, . He says:

“The useful member of a community
is the man who first and foremost at
tends to his own rights and duties, and
thereby becomes better fitted to do his
share in the common duties of all. The
useful member of the brotherhood of
nations is that nation which is most
thoroughly saturated with the national
idea, and which realizes most fully its
rights as a nation and its duties to its
citizens.” . -

“Every educated man who puts him-
self out of touch with the current of
American thought, and ',who on con-
spicuous Occasions assumes an attitude
hostile to the interest of America, is do
ing what he can toweaken the influence
of educated men in American life.”

“It is an admirable thing to possess
refinement and cultivation, but the price
is too dear if they must be paid for at
the cost of the rugged fighting qualifies
which 'make a man able to do» a man’s
work in the world, and which make
his heart beat with that love of country
which is shown not only in readiness to
try to make her civic life better, but al-
so tostand up manfully for her when
her honor and influence Tare at-stakedn
a dispute with a foreign nation.” .

The last idea is presented eifectively
by Mr. Roosevelt over and ‘1 over
again: ;

“The educated man ,must not be mis-
led by the sneers of those who always
write ‘patriotism’ between inverted
commas.” i

“Timidity, sometimes, is peculiarly
developed among educated men whose
education has tended to make hem
over cultivated and over sensitive to
foreign opinion. They are generally
men who undervalue the great fighting
qualities, without which no nation‘ can
ever rise to first rank.”

“When a question of national honor
or of national right or wrong, is at
stake, no question of- financial interest
should be considered for even one mo-
ment.” - . - é

“Education should itensify patriot-
ism, and patriotism must not only be
shown by striving to do good for the
country from, within, but by readiness
to uphold its interest and honor, at any
cest, when menaced from without,”

“There is a general and very unwhole-
some tendency among certain educated
people to lose the power . of doing elfici-
ent work as they acquire refinement.
The man who forgets that .a real edu-
cation must include the cultivation of
the fighting virtues, is sure to manifest,
this tendency,to inefficiency. It is ex-
hibited on a national scale by the edu-
cated men who take the anti-American
side of international questions."

“The a. ..smic man of cultivation and
refinement, whose intellect has been ed-
ucated at the expense of his character,
and who shrinks from all those strug-
gles through which alone the . world
moves on to greatness, is inclined to con-
sider any expression of the Monroe doc-
trine as truculent and ill-advised.”

"A certain limited number of persons
are fond of decrying patriotism as a sel-
fish ‘virtue, and strive with all their
feeble might to inculcate in its place a
kind of milk and water cosmopolitan-
ism. These good people are never men
of robust character or. imposing person-
ality, and the plea itself is not worth
consideaing. Some reformers may urge ~
that, in the ages’ distant future,-patri-
otism, like the habit of monogamous
marriage, will become a needless and
obsolete virtue; but “just at present the
man who loves other countries as much
as he does his own, is quite as noxious a
member of society as the man who loves
other women as much as he loves his
wife.

DORE’S CLEVER RUSE-

How He Dispelled a Troublesome Crowd
in Verona. '

Gustave Dore could show invention

' not only in his wonderful illustrations,

but also in matters of everyday life.
One day a friend at Verona was tak.
ing a photographic view of a pictur-
esque old street, and Dore tried to as
sist by keeping off the crowd of idle
lockers-on.» It was a diificult task, and
the more he gesticulated and threatened,
the greater became the throng. Sud-

denly Dore had a splendid idea.

“Wait a'min’utel” he called outto his
friend, “and I’ll disperse "them.”

He then took off his coat, threw it on
the ground, and, assuming a. pitiful ex-
pression, he »went round, cap in hand,
to beg for a. few soldi. As be advanced,
the crowd drew back and melted away,
andxhis friend quickly obtained the neg-
ative. ’
