Weston , as sistant commissary-general or subsistence , with an office In the Army building , New York , has received the medal of ho-nor re cently awarded to him by congress for brav ery during the Civil war. A New York Sun reporter called on Colonel Weston recently to find out what the particular act of bravery waa for which the medal was awarded. The reporter did this on the sup position that Colonel Weston knew more about the facts than anjibody else. It was found that the officer loaew the facts well enough , l > ut ho was quite unwilling to give them out for publication. Finally , however , on the understanding that the whole story would be used In his obituary , If not before. Colonel Weston gave the reporter enough facia to write a story around the medal. It seems that this particular act of fcravery w'as'pcrformea Iri 1864 , shortly after the 'bat tle of Hesaca. Lleutena-at-Colonel Weston waa then a major of cavalry attached to Gen eral Wilson's division. He and his men were In Alabama , about forty miles above Montgomery. Word came to General Wilson that there waa a rebel transport , laden with food and supplies , somewhere near the Junc tion of the Tallapoosa and the Ooow rivers. Major Weatco was ordered to proceed up the bank of the Tallapoosa to locate the trans port , capture It It ho could , and it he rouldnlt , to 'report ' the best way of capturing 'Alter a inarch of aeveral mllee along thtj shore of'the Tallapowa , Major Weston taw on the opposite tank ot the river two or three cancea.- which be thought might be more useful to him in hunting up a trans- part than coyilry iorses. The river waa high , however , , and there waa no bridge in sight. Some ot the officers under him told tbe major that fording tbe river waa out ot the question and tbat there was no other means ot getting acroaa. Tbe major bad a different Idea , however , and promptly acted upon It. Halting bis command , be left moat of bis men in charge of the hones , while he and a ibalf dozen others walked along the bank , looking for a place where the water aa uiot to blh. Such a place was found after a ehort time. Strapping his own revolver on the top of his head and orderins bis men to do likewise , the majot'wUb' his elx followers plunged into tbe riverp 'am to the opposite bank , eMataiii , too canoe/rowed / back acroaa for all of the rest of i tbe" command , save Just enougb to guard fh $ > . , * idrsea , and went on upstream. Reaching the mouth of the Coosa and rowing upstream a Itttlo way , Major Weston sighted the transport In a little bayou only a ehort distance ahead. I PuUluz to the shore and beaching the canoej , Major Weston began making signals which rnlzhl catch the attention of some one on beard the transport. Presently he had 'the ' pleasure of seeing , a gig push oft from the transport and como toward shore. When tbo gig ran up on the beach , who should step out of It but the captain ot the rebel supply boat. " \Vbat do you want with mo ? " asked the captain. "And who may you be ? " asked Major Wea- ton. ton."I "I am the captain ot the transport out there , " was the reply. "Ah , then , you are Just the man 1 wanted to see , " said Major Weeton. "I am the ma jor commanding the advance guard of Gen eral Wilson's cavalry , which will bo along hero in a few minutes several thousand strong , and to save you any unpleasantness I would ask you to surrender yourself and your transport.- The captain thought the matter over for a while , noted the determined expression on Major Weston'a face and concluded to oblige him. Leaving tbe captain under guard with two of bis mon , 'Major Weston and the rest of his command got into the captain' * gig nd one ot the canoea and rowed out to the transport , where Major Weeton told the officer In charge that bli captain bad sur rendered and tbat be bad come to take poa- estlon ot tbe boat. The transport waa promptly turned over , was taken down the river to Montgomery and tbere destroyed. For tbe success and daring of this undertaking congress Awarded to Lieutenant Colonel Weston a medal ot honor. "For which , " said tbe lieutenant colonel tbe other day , "I am very grateful. But bad I not succeeded I would have been promptly court-martialed and probably caahlered from tbe army for practically abandoning every blooming horse and all my equipments. So tar aa I know , tbla U the only Instance dur- InTr tbe civil war of a cavalry command cap luring a rebel ship. " SAOASTU. STICKS TO POSITION. Rvarnta Imputation Maine Wu D - trojred hy BpnsUsjh.

Mrs. Uoso Hawthorne Lathrop Is liulc- Atlgable In her work among the- poor sick In > few York. Since the recovery of her own icalth , iho has become associated with three other women of qualities aoj strength neces sary for the charitable venture undertaken. Mrs. Xathrop find * that well-to-do people really deslro to help the ufferlnr , provided ho help can bo applied for the relief of suf- orlng , and not dissipated. The poor can live or a long tlmo on dry bread and weak tea and drift from one damp , dirty tenement to another , but whco sickness comes , and par- Icularly Incurable sickness , they must be akcn care of. Under their temporary roof now Mrs. Lathrop and her associates have seven destitute women , pronounced Incurable t cancer hospitals. They fear being obliged o move from the small wooden house whore they llvo at present' , and Hawthorne's their eelcctlon ta matter of deep Impor tance , and chc dreamo at night of the 'proper combination of colora.

Smoothly fitting over the hips at the front and sides , It Is made with as little fullness as is consistent with the graceful ef fect on the wheel. , , Two broad pleat * pass down the back , and are stitched flat a short distance down , from the walat-llno In order to prevent the'm from spreading apart over the hip * . . The trimming of the skirt Is a shaped , stitched fold , cut en forme , as the French say. This , Tiowever , may be omitted on a simple costume , or replaced by plain stitching. 'Tho width of this eklrt around the bottom is three and a half yards. The Jaunty Itttlo coat hai the collar , rcvers , pocket-flaps , and cuffs of white ; which when used with a light touch , has such a pretty effect on black or dark-colored1 gowns.

" "I have often wondered why busy women do not more generally use stamped envelopes Instead of wasting time and energy searchIng - Ing tor postage and then pasting It on their letters , " said the secretary of a Now York woman's club. "The envelopes come In sev eral sizes and shapes eni are rather orna mental than otherwise. Business men revel In them , but womeb don't seem to appre ciate the thoughtfulncss for their comfort of a parental government , and Ignore the stamped . " envelope. v "Well , they are appreciated In England , " spoke up another club member. "Only the other day I received a letter from my sister In London. The letter was Inclosed In one of her own envelopes > wlth fccr monogram on the flap , but It was stamped with the pink stamp only seen on government envelopes. In the letter she Inquired how I liked her 'official paper , ' and said that she had discov ered that If a sufficient number of one's own envelopes were sent to the general postofllce they would bo stamped at the ordinary penny postage rate. " The question of theater hats bas passed the Joking point In Boston , and become a matter for serious dlicuoslon. The ordinance recently adopted , which requires 'Women ' to take off their hats In a theater , has proved so obnoxious to them that a delegation of society women appeared before the Board of Aldermen to ask for an amendment , pro viding that , "No person shall be ordered to remove the covering from the bead unlc&s on com plaint of thoae clttlag not over three rows behind them. " There wan a full discussion of the subject , several amendments were proposed , but no final 'decision was reached. It is noteworthy , however , that only one member of the board voted against a proposition permitting the ater goers to wear low bats wltbout any ornaments "sticking up. " "What In the world are they fighting about , anyway , " asked a young girl In an Atlanta store Saturday morning , as reported by the Constitution. "For liberty , say dear child. " replied a companion , with an air of superiority , "Our country must not be Insulted by the Ital ians. " "I thought It was the Spaniards , " mildly protested the first speaker. "Well , they are all the same. It makes no difference who It U .war are fighting , It Id the principle of the thing we are after. " "Has anybody been etiot yet ? " asked the first speaker. "I really didn't read the news clearly thU morning , " was the r > ply. Then tbey turned their attention to the bargain counter , and the -war was totally forgotten.

Mm. Parnell was : tlio mother of diaries Stewart Parnell , the brilliant successor of O'Conncll as the champion of tbe .IrUb cause in the Brltiuh Parliament. She was the daughter of U-J/r Admiral Charles Stewart , a celebrated Amer ican naval officer , and sixty-three eventful years Ho between her death end the day when Charlea Henry Parnell led her to the 'altar ' as a blushing trlcle. Her career in those years was scarcely less rcmarkabla then her famous son's. Her years ot resi dence in America at Bordcntorwn , N , J. ; her participation in the Land league agitation ; the breaking of her mind after bcr sjn'a death ; the belated recovery of her Avondale - dale estates , and the brutal attack msdo upon her two years ago by a tramp or other miscreant all these things and many other. * llko them , go tomake up a llfo history full to the brim ot romantic and tragic Interest. Just the other evening a beautiful and ex ceedingly well drcased woman gat in the picture gallery which opens out of the en trance corridor of one of the big hotels , aaya the Washington Post. For fully half an hour phe eearcely moved. You would have thought her entranced by the w Mjth of color about her. At length another equally yfell dressed woman entered. "Oh , hero you nro , " said eho to the first. "I thought .I'd find you hero. You're BO da- voted to picture * . " "Ah , yes , " sighed the first woman. "I like to sit here. It's so quiet that I never mtes my stitches. See how much I've done. " And aho held up a plcco of pink crochet edging. It's straws that show which way the wln4 blows , you know , says a writer In the Wash- higton Post , and the Information 1 learned yesterday In a dressmaker's shop may scrva to show the temper ot American women. "The Spanish flounce U much -worn this season , Is It not ? " I ( aid to the dressmaker. "Yes. " she laid , "but we are not calling It by that namo. You see , I have a great nuoy army and navy women among my customers , and I wouldn't llko to offend them by tha name. We Just call It a deep flounce. " And If tbcre could be any tactful cdnsldrra- tlon more delicate than tbat I'd Ilka to know it. CASTORIA t „ Yor Xmfsuite tad fckildroa. ttm
