PATHETIC SCENE DURING GILLESPIE
MURDER TRIAL AT RISING SUN. INDIANA
Details of the alleged family foul
to which the prosecution im the GO
leapte Harder trial at Rising 8aa, Ind,
hoped to trace the death of Elizabeth
Gillespie will be perhaps merer
known.
Mrs. Margaret Gillespie, the state's
chief witness, who promised to tell'
eTerjrthiag she knew of the affair wi
der oath, broke down on the witness
stand after answering the third ques-
tion of the defense, and was led weep
ing from the stand by her son, James,
who is charged with the murder of
his sister, whose life she was expected
to swear away.
No testimony that would tend to un
ravel the deep mystery that surrounds
the assassination, of the young woman
la her own home escaped the mother's
lips, and unless her condition will per-
mit she will probably be unable to
again take the stand.
Fond of Music in Oklahoma.
Walter Damrosch says that during
his tour of the country none of his
audiences -was so enthusiastic as that
which he found in Oklahoma City.
The theater there is the most costly
for its size he ever saw and when the
lights are all turned on the place Is as
resplendent as a fairy palace. Mr.
Damrosch waamuch astonished to
nd that many of the audience were in
full dress and that their appreciation
of good music was quite equal to their
enthusiasm over the performance.
MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN.
Clara Barton resigned from
the presidency of the American Red
Cross May 14, and was immediately
succeeded by Mrs. John A. Logan,
widow of the famous general of the
civil war. Prior to the retirement of
Miss Barton, Mrs. Logan was rice
president of the society.
The resignation of Miss Barton
marks the close of a long period of
bickering over the post she held. In
fact, it was finally conceded that the
only hope for the restoration of peace
In the organization lay in the retire
ment of Miss Barton, against whom
charges have been pending for some
time. The controversy over her man
agement began soon after the close of
the war with Spain, and had grown to
such, dimensions as to cause a serious
split
la her letter of resignation, ad
dressed to the board of trustees. Miss
Barton says:
"It is now twenty-three years since
by the express desire of President
Garf eld, on the eve of martyrdom, I
accepted the presidency of the organi
zation over which you have the honor
to preside, and the duties of which
you have the kindness to administer.
Until that moment the American Red
Cross had no existence. It stood be
fore the country an anomaly. Its very
name was unknown. There are those
in your present body whose young
manhood then received its first les
sons, little dreaming of the vicissi
tudes that faith and faithfulness
would lead them through.
"It is a waste' of time to remind
you of the years and the occasions la
which your weary president has
sought to lay her burdens down. Tear
after year she has framed aad offered
her resignation. This has been reso
lutely met by appointments for life.
"I can find no fitting words by
which to .express my appreciation of
and gratitude for the courtesy thus
extended to me. I am poor even in
thanks for such honored trust
"Bat once and for alL most honored
officers aad friends, I tender my resig
nation as president of the American
National Red Cross, which resigna
tion, being absolute, calla for ac
ceptance. "By the laws governing our organi
zation, this resignation is made to
your honored board of trustees and ex
ecutive committee, and it is an un
speakable Joy to me that the.toil-wom,
weary mantle that drops from mine
falls upon the shoulders of my vice
president the woman so cherished in
our own country and honored and
trusted in others.
"I would not have one day's delay
for this little change by which all are
benefited, and the organization, I
trust, will find that peace and quiet
In its long-disturbed elements, so wel
come to It to us, and to the country."
Replying to Miss Barton's letter, the
executive committee of the society
said la part:
"We deeply regret the circum
stances and conditions which render
it expedient that you should take this
step and retire from a position which
you have so long ably and satisfac
torily filled."
Mrs. Logan, in accepting the presi
dency, said in part:
"I shall be governed by the wisdom
and counsel of the executive commit
tee and endeavor to the utmost of my
ability to give most respectful consid
eration to each member of the society.
"Every Interest of the American
National Red Cross shall be protected
as far as it is possible to do so. The
executive committee shall be advised
of every step taken for the promotion
of the welfare of the society and the
preservation or its assets and good
name, and a full report will be made
to the next meeting of the American
National Red Cross Society, to whom
the executive committee and myself
are responsible." ,

PLEASED SIR HENRY IRVING.
Two Compliments the Distinguished
English Actor Valued.
Sir Henry Irving cherishes the mem
ory of two compliments that were
paid him, saying they gave him more
pleasure than all the other pleasant
things said to him. One evening he
was hurrying out of the theater at the
close of a performance when he heard
a nice looking old lady say: "What a
shame that he Is an actor and sold to
the devil. He would have made a fine
preacher." Another tribute paid to his
genius was that of a London newsboy
who insisted on sending him the
Times free for a week because he
thought Sir Henry's Shylock was a
perfect imitation of a business rival
whom he hated.
POINT SHE HAD OVERLOOKED.
Had to Pay His Fare.
When George Roberts was president
of the Pennsylvania railway he chlded
a conductor who went by him without
looking at his pass. "No matter if
you do know who I am." said Mr. Rob
erts in reply to the conductor's ex
cuse, "I am entitled to a free ride only
when I am traveling with that pass.
Ton don't know whether I have it or
not" The conductor, a little nettled,
then demanded to see the pass.
"That's right!" exclaimed the presi
dent "Here why where well, I de
clare! I must have left it at my
oflce." "Then you'll have to pay your
fare," said the conductor firmly. And
Mr. Roberts did. His lecture cost him
$5.

she asked, bluntly. Taken by sur

but asked: "How did you know?" "Oh,
it was quite easy. I see several grains

Well Worth Heeding.

story: "Once upon a time there waa
an old colored man who was having
great success catching crabs. He had
a tremendous box more than half full
when a passer-by warned him that the
biggest and best crabs were crawliag
out and would escape. The old-man re
plied: "Thankee, sir, much obleeged.
but I ain't goln' to lose no crabs. I'se
a crabologist I is, and I knows all
'bout de crab nature. I don't need to
watch 'em, 'tall. When de big crab
fight up to top, and when he's gettln'
out de little crabs catch him by de
laig and pull him back. He can't git
out nohow.' " And then Booker Wash
ington says: "My friends, I have been
informed that there is something of
crab nature in human nature, but it
must be altogether among white folk
and not in our race."

Wartime Incidents.
"Things happened queerly in the
army," said Sergeant Sam Grimshaw.
"When Carlin's division waa drivea
back at Bentonville, N. C, our brigade
(the Third of the Second division)
waa thrown out to check the rebel
advance. The underbrush being
heavy, we ran into the rebs unawares
and got In the first volley to our ad
vantage. We had fired six or eight
volleys when the brigade commander
ordered us to cease firing. This gave
the rebs a chance to notice that both
our wings were In the air and they
proceeded to take advantage of the
situation.
"When the brigade fell back, I took
to a tree, and Comrade Giles took an
other to my right We felt pretty se
cure, as we had seen rebels only In
front, but I had fired only once and
had reloaded and was putting on the
cap when a Johnny who had gotter la
on my left flank took a shot at me,
tearing thirteen big holes In my folded
or rolled blanket This convinced me
that he had my range and that I was
outflanked, and I hiked for a more
congenial clime. I came across Col.
Clancey and we traveled together to
where the regiment was In line along
a fence. I had been with my com
pany only a few minutes when I re
ceived a musket ball that put me out
of the fight 'for the day.
"In the same fight the Fourteeth
Michigan and a rebel regiment both
got lost from their brigades and had
an Independent fight of their own, In
which the Fourteenth whipped the
rebs and captured their flag. One of
the boys of company G was sent oack
after a box of ammunition, and. the
lines changing, he walked, on his re
turn, into the rebel lines. The rebels
thought it was a great joke, relieved
him of his ammunition and gun. and
started him to their rear without a
guard. He made a flank movement,
got around their line and came back
to the company in three hours.
"That is one illustration of the re
sourcefulness of the American soldier.
Here is another. When our regiment
the Fifty-second Ohio, made the march
to Knoxville after the battle of Mis
sionary Ridge, we camped lor one
night near Cleveland. Our quarters
were la the timber, and for tenting
purposes McLaughlin, Hastings, Roe
and myself had joined forces, so that
we might splice pup tents to the best
advantage. There being plenty of
leaves, we made a line bed, ate our
supper, smoked our pipes, and retired
to what the boys called our 'downy' in
great contentment
"We were just going off to dream of
what a fine feast we would have the
next morning, as Sergeant Withrow
was cooking a twenty-pound turkey
which McLaughlin had confiscated,
when I was awakened by a cry of fire
and other cries which suggested that
I was an Interested party. We had.
like others, built a fire in front of our
tent. The leaves between our tent
and the fire were in flames, and we
were asleep. McLaughlin was a good
soldier, but inclined to be a little slow.
On this occasion, however, he went In
to action so promptly that we saved
our tent and bedding, and we had our
feast of turkey the next morning."

$10400 for a Drink of Water.
There was no harder fighting, when
the men had once gathered the idea
that discipline was of importance and
that the first duty of a soldier was not
to save his own life, than In the
American civil war, 1861-1864, says an
English military journal, the V. C. In
one of the -many desperate fights the
Federals had charged up to the Con
federate works, only to be repulsed
in confusion, leaving the ground cov
ered with their dead and wounded.
Among the latter was an officer very
badly hit. Everyone knows, or least
knows of, the terrible thirst caused
by physical injury. The one appeal
that rises from the battlefield is for
water. The officer's moans reached
the ears of one Moore, of Burke coun
ty. South Carolina, who was lying in
comparative safety behind an em
bankment He was in safety, the
officer was an enemy, but he was suf
fering and wanted water, and water
he should have. So said Moore. His
comrades thought otherwise. They
were very happy on their side of the
embankment To go to the other was
to walk into a hail of lead and other
missiles, in fact to court almost cer
tain disablement, if not death. . They
pointed out to Moore that the Idea
was foolhardy, and the risk quite un
necessary, especially on account of aa
enemy.
Moore did not talk much. He just
picked up a canteen, jumped over the
breastworks, walked to where his
wounded foe was lying, and gave him
a drink. The grateful Federal of
fered Moore his gold watch as a
token of gratitude, but Moore did not
want any reward. He had merely
done what he considered right, and
now that the Federal was easier.
there was ao object in staying to get
shot, so he prepared to move back.
The ofilcer called to him at least to
give him his name, so that he might
remember his benefactor. Moore saw
no objection, gave bis name, and
walked back to his post
Subsequently Moore himself was alt
in an engagement In Virginia, and re
turned to his home, practically a
cripple, relyiag much on the help of

captain and later lieutenant-colonel,
furnished another illustration of this
remarkable foresight of approaching
death. Brave and lovable, a modest
though brilliant soldier, he was rapid
ly winning his way to distinction. A
youth, scarcely 21 years of age, he
was In command of the Sixth regi
ment of Alabama. Before going Into
the fight in the Wilderness he quietly
said: 'My hour has come.' I joked
and cbided him. I told him that he
must not permit such impressions to
affect or take hold upon his imagina

'You need cot doubt me. I will be at
my post. But this is our last meet

For New Soldiers' Heme.
A strong effort is being made by the
comrades and other citizens of Wash
ington, to have the government ac
quire an old park out toward Bladens
burg as a site for a home for ex-volunteer
soldiers of the civil war. There
is a sort of temporary home bow la
Washington, where stranded veterans
can be cared for a few days at a
time, but it is altogether inadequate
for the purpose, and besides it is nec
essary to have a home where the vet
erans can stay while in the city trying
to get their pensions through. Hun
dreds of such veterans go to Wash

having very little money with them.
In a few weeks hope and money are
both gone, and they have to be eared

There was a rather fine bit of senti

an actor earned Maurice Pike was
dragged before a New York magistrate
charged with vagrancy. The poor old
fellow ia 65 years of age. and he told
the judge that he had often appeared
ia the support of Edwin Booth. It
happened that the judge, who is him
self an old man, remembered the ac
tor, and he asked him if he did not
play Casslo to Booth's Othello in the
year 1872. Poor old Maurice Pike sat
isfied the court that he was the guilty
party, and the magistrate refused to
pass a sentence. In fact, he told the
old actor that he would see that he
was provided for until the time when
he could communicate with the Actors

Interesting Incident that occurred aot

"I can with ail truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of
all cereal foods in my family, young
as well as old. it is food and medi

at breakfast my little boy said:
" 'Mamma, does tho King eat Grapo
Nuts every morning?"
"I smiled and told him I did aot
know, but that I thought Grape-Nuts
certainly made a delicious dish, fit for
a King." (It's a fact that the King of
England and the German Emperor
both eat Grape-Nuts.)
"I find that by the constant uae of
Grape-Nuts not only aa a morsJng ce
