What Befell a Veteran of
cthe Civi War Long Af-
ter His Discharge.
An old colonial soldier lying in a
hospital improvised for the occasion af-
ter the battle of Saratoga, was patient—
ly waiting until his time came for ex-
amination. When the physicians sur-
a bullet in his chest, he opened his
shirt bosom, shut his eyes and said,
I m ready.” Neither groan, sigh 01
cry escaped him, but as the probe
reached the piece of lead he opened his
eyes and said. “Doctor, an inch deep:
er and you will find General Wash-
ington. ” In the Revolution and Civil
War the American soldier withstood
hardships that almost equalled those
when Napoleon retreated from Moscow,
and Sir John Moore retired to 0011 una.

Important for the Detection. of the Elu-

The strength of the Spanish army in

and it is found that it is no easy mat-

rors have been bought. but an ade-
quate supply of them cannot be had.

The mirror is an essential part of the

cast and molded, but has to be ground
accurately and highly polished. It is
really a. concave lens, backed by silver

grinding the reflectors have been
made which facilitate the work, but
it requires about a. week to make a.

shape, and the machines are put to
work on this and the surfaces are
ground to: the requisite curve. After

WILLIAM R. DAY.
SECRETARY OF STATE AND PERSON-
AL FRIEND OF THE PRESIDENT.
The Position Sought tho Man, Not the
Man the Position—When McKinley was
Governor of Ohio Day was Hie-Close
Adviser.
Less «than fifty years ago, on April
17, 1849, William R. Day was born at
Ravemha, Ohio. His father, Luther
Day, was Judge of the Supreme Court
of Ohio. He :sent his son to school in
Ravenna. to prepare him for the en-
trance in-to the University of Wiscon-
sin with the class of ’70. 0f appaa"
ently delicate physique, he devoted
himself while in the university with
such unremitting zeal and interest as
to cause concern among his classmates
as to his ability to pull through the
course without breaking down. He
was tougher than his classmates sup-
posed, and he pulled through with
credit, to begin the study of law in
Ravenna. Returning to Ann Arbor to
attend lectpres, he became librarian at
the university, and in July, 1872, was
admitted to 1the Ohio bar. Two years
later he formed a partnership with
William A. Lynch at Canton, Ohio, the
home of Mr. McKinley. This firm con-
tinued until June, 1886, when Mr. Day
was elected Judge of the Common.

The new Judge had not sought nom-
[nation or election. He was (wave to
the routine of the bench; he had been
content withhls office and his practice.
and the practice he had left was more
lucrative as well as more congenial
thanthé eerVIce of the bench. He rec
suine'd practice in 1887,1115 old firm
having been changed by the addition of
his brother, David B. Day, to the com-
puny, which was styled Day, Lynch &‘

mini, and his commission was made
mt, but by advice of his physician, 1115
health having been impaired by over-
work, he declined the honOr of serving.
The President has known Judge Day
almost from the time -he began his
practice in Canton. The two became
warm and Intimate friends. I The Pres-
Ident needed the advice of just such a
man, and long before there Was any-
expectation that Mr. McKinley would
be President he had learned to trust
to the calm, sagacious advice of the
pale, spare and reticent lawyer, then
quite as devoted in his friendship as he.
is now. While McKinley was Govern-
or of Ohio Ihe trusted to Judge Day's
help in deciding many questions that
semed vexatious, and .when he was
standing before the country as the
candidate for President there was no
more zealous and helpful friend than
Fudge Day.
There is no doubt whatever that if
there had been any ofilce under the
President which Judge Day desired to
rIccupy after Mr. McKinley had been
Inaugurated he could have had it. In-
deed, it is not improbable that he was
asked to accept an office, and that he
declined to accept. But the President
lid not forget him. When it seemed
necessary to the President that he
iIhould have a report on the conditions
11 Cuba made by some person in whose
ludgment he could trust implicitly he
turned to Judge 'Day to perform the
service. But the State Department
needed a First Assistant Secretary.
Mr. Rockwell had been sent to Greece
15 Minister, and there was need of the
guiding hand of a, sound lawyer and a
rnan of judgment and courage. Judge
Day was stopped while on his way to
Cuba. and made Assistant Secretary.
Sherman’s resignation soon followed,
and Day then became actual Secre—
:ary. .
- Judge Day has not lacked spirit or
aatriotism in his conduct of the many
negotiations about the Spanish-Cuban
controversy. If his feelings occasion-
‘Llly moved him to favor a. mom vigor-
Ibus treatment of Spain his judgment
and his absolute loyalty to the Presi-
lIient have restrained his personal pre-
i 'erences. Calm, with no inclination to

A CURSE OF RABBITS.I
(They Ruined an Island and the Prospects
of a Colony.
mined to colonize one of her islands,
which lies about 200 miles from the
coast of Africa. It was thickly wood-
ed, filled with fruit, flowers and edible
roots, and the home country decided
that 400 01-500 of the peasants, who
could find no land to farm in Holland,
might be able to turn the island into
a. huge truck farm and dairy. They
were to send things home, and in ex‘
change get manufactures until they
had established a. little world for them-
selves.
The people who went were very poor,
and took very little with them, but
one woman, in an evil moment, decided
to take a. pair of pet rabbits, and that
act sealed the doom of the whole plan.
They reached 'the island in safety.
began to farm, and were happy and
successful. They found birds and
small game in plenty; and soon, to
their joy, they began to find rabbits.
Many a. good dinner did they have of
rabbit pie or stew, and the woman who
had brought the original pair with her
from home was considered a. bene—
factor, for from this one pair all the
others had sprung in a. series of rapid-
ly succeeding generations.
Then gradually things began in
change; the‘farmers' crops were nib-
bled, and the woodsmen found the
young trees destroyed. They grew
frightened. The rabbits had become a.
scourge. They multiplied and ate un.
til the people had to fight for every
green leaf they had. ‘
Finally there washothing left on the
island but rabbits and people, and rab-
bits became the people’s only food.
But as there was no food for the rab'-
bits themselves they soon died off, and
left a. starving, desolate settlement up-
on a. desert in the sea.
So much for the justice that is dis-
played in the choice of the longaeared,
soft-eyed bunny as an Easter emblem.
But about those peeple! Theydid not
all starve, for the home ship came at

NEW YORK LETTER.
Special Correspondence.
The metropolis is so Immense that a
mediocre man is completely swallowed
up in it, while even a great man gets
lost therein. Two years ago John G.
Carlisle was one of the half dozen
greatest men in the public life of_the
nation. on his retirement from office
last year he came to New York to live,
and has ‘since then scarcely been heard'
of. He has been entirely lost to public
view, and it was with a sense of sur-
prise that people learned that he had
applied for admission to' the bar of the
supreme court of New York.

Byrnes Broke.
One of the interesting rumors of the
day tells us that former Police Super- -
lnItendent Bvrnes has lost the larger
part of his fortune in unlucky ventures
in Wall street. He was warm, when
he left No. 300 Mulberry street, more
than half a. million. There is a differ-
ence betWeen having a Gould to back
you and having to back yourself.
When Byrnes was ‘head of the police
department men with good things in
the market were chasing after him to
carry a. line of stocks for him, but as
an unofficial citizen he has been obliged
to root for himself, employ brokers and
put up margins.
An Enterprising Postmlstresa.
There is a young woman postmistress
.in Brooklyn who has a great many
postage stamp friends, and thereby a
largely increased revenue. The amount
of her salary is averaged by the sales
she makes. Hence, she being a. busi-
nesslike young woman, whenever she
meets anyone who uses stamps by the
quantity she offers her wares and also
offers to send them by messenger if the,
' might-be purchaser is not within easv
distance for calling. One New York
business man, who buys $150 worth of
stamps a. month, and who lives in
Brooklyn, buys always of the Brooklyn
girl and increases her salary $3 a Week

Sousa’s Band Not Going to Europe.
11 account of the strong prejudice ex-
Isting in France against the United
States during this war with Spain, Sou-
sa's band will not make the tour of
Europe this summer as had been plan-
ned. Shopkeepers in Paris are feeling
the loss of trade caused by the absence-
of Americans this year, and all over
Europe the touring Yankee will be
missed. Moreover, it is stated that
many patriotic ladies of fashion have
resolved not to order their gowns from
Paris this year, but to patronize the
home dressmakers. If this feeling
grows, the Paris Exposition of 1900 may
suffer in interest‘an-d attendance by the
absence of Americans. .

Didn't Know II: was Betty. ,
A dignified Cedar street man of 11111-
lions and affairs has been pestered
lately by feminine almsfolk, and being
of irascible disposition, his feelings are
highly wrought, says the New York
Press. One day an old woman in a.
dark, rusty dress and a. faded bonnet,
entered his door. At the first Sight of
her he bolted for his private ofilce and,
summoning his bookkeeper, .ald in a.
state of great panic: “Get her away
from here as soon as possible. I 'can't
stand it any longer. Tell her I have
nothing for 'her. I can't see her. I
can’t assist her. Tell her I’m not here."
In about three minutes the bookkeeper
returned. ”Do you know who that
was?” he asked. “Certainly not,” said
the man who warships money and its
owners. “It was Mrs. Hefty Green;
come to see 'you about that $30,000
mortgage,” quietly remarked the man
of ledgers, and such wriggling as fol-
lowed! A cold perspiration
lowed by a hot fever, and the old gen-
tleman is now in bed groaning over his
awful mistake.
