-WTfteS Jjm i V It : H ir IES AMP Sk GENERAL MEADE AT MINE RUN Highly Promising Plan Ruined by Blunders of Subordinates Thereby Preventing Concentration. In response to n query nuking for an account of tho Mlno Run campaign tho National Tribune makes the fol lowing reply: The Mlno Run campaign was one of the bcst-concelvcd movements ot the war, but utterly failed on account of the mismanagement of tho corps commanders. November, 1863, flaw what was virtually the end of tho HettysburR campaign, with Its se quelae of manuvers back and forth from Alexandria to Orange Court llouso. Gen. Meade saw that he had Lee at a great disadvantage. I.ec had Bent Longstreet's Corps to East Ten nessee, and had loft only Ewcll's and Hill's Corps. Ewell's CorpB was watching the Rapldan In the neigh borhood of Culpeper Court House, whllo Hill's Corps was a day's march away up tho river, den. Meade had the Army of the Potomoc well In hand, only 20 miles away around Culpeper and Stevensburg, He conceived that he could throw his army across the river and overwhelm Ewell's Corps before Hill could go to his assistance. It was only a short day's march to reach Ewell, and he could havo been thrashed In a few hours. Meade care fully worked out his plans, and If his orders had been carried out a great victory would havo resulted. The movement was to begin at dawn of Nov. 2(3, by the Fifth Corps, followed by tho First Corps crossing the Rappa hannock at Culpeper Mlno Ford and marching to Parker's Store on the Plank Road. The Second Corps was to cross at Qcrmanna Ford and march to Robertson's Tavern, where It was to be Joined by the Third and Sixth Corps crossing at Jacob's Mill Ford. Meado expected his whole army to bo united across the Rapldan and cut tho flank of Leo's lntrenchments on Mine Run, by noon of Nov. 27, and tho plan had every prospect of success. The first blunder was In the movement ol the Third Corps, which, having n greater distance to march, should have started earliest, but as a matter of fact was much behind Its time and delayed tho whole army. The next was that the engineers had not correctly meas ured tho width of the Rapldan, and the pontoon bridges were too short. The banks of tho Rapldan were so high and precipitous that they delayed the march of tho artillery nnd cavalry so that the whole of Nov. 27 passed with less than half of tho dlstanco having been traversed. In the mean whllo Lee's signal officers. looking down from Clark's Mountain, had de tected tho movement, nnd Hill's Corps was summoned back in haste to meet It. In the meantime tho corps officers were mistaking the roads and making other blunders which prevented tho concentration, nnd when tho army was at last gotten together, Nov. 28. It was found that the whole rebel nrmy was in front nnd fortified along tho crest of a rango of hills, which made a nntur.il fortification In them selves for six or eight miles. Tho Confederates had their artillery sc placed as to enfilade every lino of approach. Tho corps commanders each examined their fronts for possi ble points of attack, and mado strong reconnolssances, which cost a great many men's lives. As nil the trains had been left on the north side of the Rapldan In anticipation of a quick, sharp movement, the army was now out of rations, and Meade saw frus trated his hopes of ending the Get tysburg campaign by a decisive vic tory, lie therefore ordered the army to return to Its camps around Cul peper. Ho wanted to move his army to Fredericksburg, which would have been nn excellent manuver, and placed Lee at a disadvantage, but he was prevented by Halleck's orders not to mako any change of base without authority from Washington. Lee's 811m Animal. President Lincoln on June 14, 18G3, wrote Gen. Hooker: "So far as wo can mnko out hero tho enemy has Mllroy surrounded at Winchester and Tyler at Martinsburg, If they could hold out a few days could you help them? If tho head of Lee's army is at Martinsburg and the tall of It on tho plank road between Fredericksburg and Chancellorsvllle, tho animal must bo very slim some where Could you not break him?" How Could He Stop Him? An Irish recruit In the mounted In fantry got on a high-mettled horse and ,lt ran away with him. Ono of his com panions called to him to stop him. "Arrah, now," cried ho, "how can I stop him when I havon't got mo spun along?" A Slow Movv A general in tho western army wbh nggravatingly slow a' n tlrno when the president wanted him to "get n move on." "Somo of my generals are brave enough," regretfully remarked tho president, "but somehow or other they got tnngled up In a fence cornor and can't flKuro their way out," Politics.

HOW TO WHITEN THE THROAT Lemon Juice or a Ripe Tomato Will Remove Any Discoloration! Alcohol to Harden. Shapeliness Is not all that is neces sary to tho making of a throat beauti ful. Tho texturo of tho skin must bo flno and soft, white and unblemished. Cleanliness Is the first essential. A good thorough scrubbing with a not too soft brush, hot water and soap, once or twice a week, will do no harm, the rest of tho tlrno using the ordinary cloth. Apply lemon julco or a rlpo tomato to any discoloration that may appear, and unless tho pores are enlarged, use cold cream freely. Alcohol will harden tho flesh. As for the various bleaches, thero are some that are harmless, except Insofar as they invariably are drying, which ultimately leaves tho skin harsh and brash. Here is ono that can easily bo made at home, but, like the others, it ts drying, so be euro to counteract this effect by applying cold cream after using It. Mix half an ounce of perox ide ot hydrogen, six ounces of witch hazel and half an ounce of lactlo acid. Apply thla with a soft cloth. DAINTY SUMMER DRESS.

Satin; stitch, eyelet work und outlining ard used in combination to produce both ornate nnd stmplo effects. Almost all parasolB are mado with eight panels, and half a dozen skeins of cotton aro needed for embroidering each panel with a design of moderate size; 11 vo or six dozen skeins, therefore would bo sufficient for any parasol. Tho big department stores mako up tho em" broldcred panels into parasols and sell sticks and frames. FLOWERS THAT MATCH FROCK One of the Prettiest Fanclee of Many Seasons la the Adornment Thua Effected. What a real pleasure women missed when they were too prim to tuck a bunch of flowers into tholr frocks, ot too fearful lest tho stalks should stain their pretty raiment. Nowadays flowers aro the finishing touch ot every toilette, and some wom en give orders to their florists or their gardeners for a bouquet twlco or Ulrica a day to match tho gowns thoy intend to wenr. In tho evening It Is usual to wear a single and very exquisite blossom, the work of human hands. A giant rose, a mammoth poppy, an orchid all aro popular. Strango fantasies In mater ial are employed; hero a lace flower tipped with fur. and there ono made ot band painted moussellne, a marvelous copy ot nature's own handiwork. Wardrobe Box. A space saver Is tho wardrobo box which fits under the bed. This box 1b suspended from two metal arms, or bars, which are affixed to the bed. This makes It possible to draw the box In and out without trouble. Tho box does not touch tho floor, so there Is no possibility ot dust accumu lating under it, and tho bed, with tho box In position, may bo moved at will. Tho boxes, which aro provided with hinged covers, come in different sizes and aro designed for different pup poses. Crepe Waists.
