"Drive out there at once and see," re plied Forrester meaningly. In ten minutes Dr. Sehvynwas on his way, "but as he drove along ho reasoned that it was altogether unlikely that any thing serious was the matter. "She has no organic disease, I know," he said to himself, "and Mrs. Burton is a sensible woman; if Janie were stricken with fever her mother would have sent for me." Thus reassuring himself ho drove through the cleft bluff and along the seldom used road carpeted with rustling leaves. Passing a cluster of glowing sumach bushes ho saw Janio idly pulling the crimson leaves. Ho left his buggy and gently approached her, holding out his hands. "I have had a terrible fright, Janie," he said. "Forrester made me miderstand that you were ill. Oh, my darling, God only knows how thankful I am that it is not true, for I love you, Janie, with all my heart and soul and strength."

A sensational career came to an end tho other day when John, D. Fiske, the specu lator and theatrical manager, was shot dead on the streets of San Francisco by Jo seph T. Stillinnn,.nn .inventor. The assas-. sin claimed that Fiske had tried to ruin him and had attempted blackmail. John D. Fiske iu hia way was one of tho most noted men on the Pacific coast. At the timc-of his death he was trying to se cure a divorce from his third wife, alleging infidelity. His two previous spouses had procured severance of the marital tie on tho ground of extreme cruellj-. lie was almost constantly engaged in litigation, and among theatrical peoplo bore the namo of "Water Tank" Fiske. The reason for this title lay in tho fact that he would bind traveling companies by contract to play at towns out in tho desert, where no ono butthestation agent and possibly a few other peoplo lived. When the actors struck such places they gener ally found but ono man waiting for them. He had not como to see the show particularly his mission ap peared later. The company would get mad at the de JOIIN P. FISKE. ception practiced upon them, and would pack up and get ready to leave. Just about this time the lonesome man's mia fiion would appear. He was a deputy sheriff, armed with a writ of attachment for unywhoro from 100 to SoOO, and ho would lory on the baggage. The actors could not, of course, cancel their dates ahead and stay to light the case in the courts. They simply had to swear and pay. Sometimes the lonesomo man did not show up. Tlus indicated that Mr. Fiske was biding his time. Some day the company would pass through Fresno, and he would swoop down with his writ. Ono company got the host of hiin by telegraph ing for tents and bla-nkets, and thou get ting out on the desert in the moonlight and going throngh tlieir whole perform ance according to contract. But in most cakes Fiskc's scheme worked to perfection, and hie income from his water tank circuit was estimated at one time to be over ?600 a month clear of sheriffs' fees. Tho dead manager left an estate valued at 1200,000. "PATRICK CLANCY, SUICIDE." Tho Self Inflicted Dcntli of a Sim Fran cIroo Capitalist. "Patrick Clancy, capitalist, was tho term by which the guests in the Ahlborn house in Sao Francisco knew ono of their fellow boarders, and not one of thorn sup posed that "Patrick Clancy, capitalist," would evur bo known as "Patrick Clancy, suicide." Mr. Clancy had long been suffering from an asthmatic affection which the doctors pronounced incurable, and that, no doubt, explains his action. The circumstances which attended his suicide were particularly horrible. Tho discovery of his death wan made bv a chambermaid. When she opened the door of his room sho noticed nothing wrong, but a step or two further and a dead body hanging to a closet door was revealed to her. A rope was tightly knot ted around tho neek, the hands were tightly clinched, tho eyes, wide open and staring, were bulg ing from a purple face, lior soreama brought other peo PATRICK CLANCY. plo to tho room. and tho door was relieved of its terrible burden. "When tho body had been re moved to tho inortrue it was found that tho ropo had cut deep into the dead man's nook. And now another name on the offi cial records has opposite it the dreadful word suicide. Up to Snafl". Reporter Can you kindly give me some of the important particulars about your wedding, sir?

So declared a philosopher of fiction long years ago, and his utterance still remains an axiom. Had he couched the idea in the phrase of the schools the gentleman prob- AX2TCE GOODWIX. ably would have said that the fair sex sometimes astounds tho world by startling exhibitions of unaccountable folly; and did he live in New York city at tho present day be might give point to his statement by citing the case of Annie Goodwin. Indeed one hardly need look further for a typical example of feminine unwisdom. Here was a girl, young, atlractivo and blessed with loving relatives and a good home. She had an excellent position in a cigarette factory, and earned $13 a week. She was admired by her friends of the op posite sex, and ono at least of them sought her hand in honorable marriage. Appar ently no one had less excuse for leaving the path of decency than Annie Goodwin. Yet. sho left it. A "-man about town" dazzled her foolish brain with smart presents and smarter talk. Sho received him at her homo, a cozy abode over which her married sister presides. Sho went with him to entertain ments, and one night returned late fud dled with liquor. Tho sister, good, honest soul, protested, and warned Annie that her escort naa other than honorable motives. Tho girl, bent on her own destruction, re fused to listen, left the house and secured quarters with a complaisant chum. For a whiloafterthattho "man about town" had every thing his own way. One day Aunio found that sho was destined to become a mother. Sho begged her betrayer to mar ry her. ne laughed, declined tho honor, lit a cigarette and walked away. To hide her shame the girl took apart ments with strangers, and sending for a notorious old man named Dr. McGonegal I submitted to a criminal operation Arhi!o sick in bed she was ordered fiom tho prem ises by her suspicious landlady, and the "doctor" convoyod her to tho filthy quar ters of a diseasa scarred female who was his tool. There Annie Goodwin died, alone, unrriended, suffering unspsakablo torture.

Both crime and victim he thought were concealed until tho judgment day, hut accident brought, tho horrible af fair to lic:ht, and placed the whole crew of principals and accomplices in tho hands of the police. It would not be fair to clans Mrs. Emily Hall as "foolish" in the biime sense that Annie Goodwin was, for if the reports are true Mrs. Flail's folly was of tho deliberate ly wicked kind, and affected those who ought to have received Iter tende rest caro har daughters. When ler husband, ITonry Jlall, shot hor dead at Council Bluffs, la., the other day it was generally conceded thai the man committed the mur der whilo insane regarding tho disgrace of his family Several months ago Hall un Kvaillngly Fought legal aid to get the chil dren who wore still at homo awny from their mother, desiring, ho 'aid. to place them where they might be sarrounded by good influences. Ho asserted that his wife had ruined the other girls, and was pursu ing the saiac coarso wittnhe two youngest, boing in tho habit of taking them with her to places on the "Row." Tlie neighbors told how Hall used to go wi:h a whip and drive his girl Emma homo from the house of ill repute where she resorted. After ho got her home he did nothiag more than HSNRY HALL. reprimand her, but Mrs. Hall took ths girl's side, nad said &he should do as she pleased.

They fol lowed him when he left Portland. When told that ho -was under arrest the two wives fell upon his neck and wept, neither of them appearing to be the least disturbed at the fondling he received at the hands and lips of the other. They ac companied him to the gate of the Central police station, and would have gone to his cell and stayed all night if tho prison reg ulations permitted such proceedings. Early in the morning, however, the wives appeared, and by virtue of an order from the chief of police gained access to their husband. Each of them kissed him affec tionately and set about putting things in the cell in order. One of them arranged his cot while the other swept out. When it came to the question of feeding him they quarreled. Each wanted to prepare his meals, but Elliott settled the difficulty by stating that the divorced wife should servo him with breakfast, the other woman should give him his lunch and so on, while both should divide the honor of buying his cigars. Elliott sat in his cell with a wife on each knee, and received their advice as to the conduct of his defense. All day long the women hovered around him, and the one who is his lawful wife did not object to the attentions lavished upon him by the divorcee. Yet this man, who could secure and hold the affections of two silly women, was wanted in Oregon for what? For placing a minor girl in a disreputable resort. But can any of these cited instances of female folly more than equal the colossal idiocy recently displayed by that scion of British nobility called Viscount Dunlo?

When his father dies he will be the Earl of Clancarty, and must sustain the dignity and responsibili ties of an historic title. Yet, with this honorable and onerous prospect beforo him, the lad, scarcely past his majority, joins with two other hilarious friends in pitching pennies to determine who shall marry Belle Bilton, tho pretty concert hall singer. Dunlo wins, proposes, is accepted and gets married. Tho honeymoon lasts nine days. Then the viscount's father captures him, sends him away, arranges "details," and then causes the young hus band to begin divorce proceedings, alleg ing unfaith fulness on the part of tho wife. But Belle Bilton's rough contact with tho world has sharpened rather than lessened hor common sense. As she remarked the other day: "Lord Dunlo knew what I had been when ho married me. Since my wed ding no one can show aught against my conduct or character." "Why :i Train Ts Badly Kun. A queor state of affairs was disclosed tho other day by tho experience of Lawyer Robart Gooao in trying to catch a train. The cars didn't stop at tho station, but tho conductor signaled the attorney to run. Ho did so, and finally got aboard at tho risk of his life. Says Sir. Goode: "I learned that my experience was duo to a very pe culiar state of jiffairs. One of tho passen gers told mo tho conductor, J. B. Martin, a man about 40 years of ace, but good look ins and still young, had married the en gineer's l(3-ycar-o!d daughter about two years ago. Tho girl was going to school at the time, and the conductor eloped with her. Since thou, I am told, tho engineer, James Ewing, and Mr. Martin have never spoken, though they have been runninc on that train ever since the elopement. I was told that such things as I wont through were not uncommou, and it was a very common thing for the train to pass per sons waiting on a platform. I understand that tho conductor and the engineer give and take ordprs through tho brakeman. This breach between the train hands is, I have since learned, tho causo of no littlo annoyance to passengers." Shorn of His Locks. Xew York has a genuine cowboy police man.

COMMANDS THAT DISTINGUISHED THEMSELVES IN BATTLE. The American Becorcl Unsurpassed in the Wars of Foreign Nations, Where Every Other 3Ian Fell and Every Fourth Man Was Killsd. Copyright by American Press Association. j'v j, HE volunteer or- "$W ganizations of the civil war consid ered it a proud rec ord to have gone through their ser vice without a panic, receiving at the end the ac knowledgment from their leaders that they had nev er disappointed them. But it was the fate of some commands to be placed in extreme SZl L552SAT8 S "jT ly trying positions and to risk more than professional pride demanded. The records of a score or more of famous divisions and brigades and several hundred noted regi ments are brought out in a striking man ner in Col. William Fox's story of "Regi mental Losses in the Civil War." Tho in terest in this work is not maintained by skillful word painting, but by plain figures, skillfully arranged to present at once tho sublimity and the pathos of human brav ery. For instance, after giving a list of over seventy Union regimente that lost in killed and wounded from 50 to 83 par cent, of the number engaged, the losses on certain re markable occasions in noted foreign wars are cited. The Six Hundred who rode into tho Valley of Death at Balaklava lost StJ.7 per cent. The Tnird Wegphalian regiment at Mai3-la-Tour, in tho Franco-Prussian war, lost over a thousand killed and wound ed, but it carried 3,000 men into action and its total loss, including prisoners, was 49.4 per cent. In the same war tho Garde Schut zen battalion, at Metz, lost 4G1 out of 1,000, or 46.1 per cent. The Balaklava charge was a blunder and a disaster and accomplished nothing, but of course it was a daring ride. Whon we learn, as we do from Col. Fox's work, that tho great risks taken in the civil war and followed by appalling losses were success ful strokes and that every life so lost told in tho result, the figures acquire a power that makes each tinit a jewel. Take the First Minnesota at Gettysburg, where ita total loss was 82 per cent, and it3 loss in killed 75 out of 2G2 men engaged; this regi ment may claim to have performed the highest service on that field. It saved Han cock's line on the second day, and thero the battle was decided on the third day. Another instanco on a less renowned field was the Fifth Vermont at Savage's Sta tion, on the peninsula, in 1862. By some misunderstanding ono army corps moved out of place on tho march to James river in tho Seven Days' and part of Franklin's Sixth corps withstood a desper ate onslaught from Confederates launched forth from. Richmond in pursuit. The Fifth Vermont was in W. H. T. Brooks' Vermont brigade and was recalled on the march to make a stand for the purpose of gaining time. The colonel commanding, Lewis A Grant, saw that the Confederates had taken possession of a gorge which en abled them to sweep the field with bullets and canister, and at onco ordered a bayo net charge. It was executed promptly and in such fine style as to dislodge the enemy. Then tho Fifth took up a position and held it during the fight, losing 1SS killed and wouiylcd out of 428 men engaged. The killed and mortally wounded numbertd 73. One company of 50 men lost 44 killed and wounded, of which 25 were killed. Ono remarkable thing about this action was that the killed and wounded lay on a lino as the regiment had fought. Gen. D. H. Hill, of tho Confederate army, says that to his poople it looked like a whole regi ment stricken down in their tracks. The Fifth mado a grand fighting record all through the war, and at tho Wilderness lost sixty-three killed out of 475, or about 13 per cent. During its entire term its loss ninountcd to about 13 per cent, in killed. The regiment was in a fighting brigade, ono that had the highest aggregate Ios3 in killed of any Union brigade during the war. It was tho original Vermont brigade, composed of the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth,- Sixth and Eleventh regiments. Its killed in the whole war was 1.172. In one action the Wilderness it lost 1,212 killed and wounded. In the first two weeks of tho Wilderness campaign it lost 1,645 out of 2,S00 men. All of these losses fall on tho first five regiments, tho Eleventh not being engaged. This Vermont brigade had no connection with Stannard's, that fought at Gettysburg. Stannard's was composed of nine months' men, and was engaged in but one fight. Another brigade noted for its long, high record was the "Iron Brigade of tho West." It was composed of the Second, Sixth and Sevonth Wisconsin and tho Nineteenth In diana and Twenty-fourth Michigan. Ac the Second Bull Run, under Gen. Gibbon, it lost S&l out of 2,009 men. At C -tysbnrg Gen. Meredith commanded and it bore tho brunt of the Confederate onset tho first day, when tho hero Reynolds fell. Here it lost 1,153 out of 1,833 engaged, or about fli per cent. But it accomplished much. Arch er's Confederate brigade, the first to push across Willonghby Run, was annihilated by thi command, which fought under the eye of Reynolds until he fell. This brignda also fought well at South Mountain, An tietam, the Wilderness and Spottsylvnnia, Its loss in proportion to numbers engaged v v

itb "KEAKKT SEST FOE t"8." was the greatest in tbe war. The Vermont brigade lost more niea, but It numbered more. The "Iroa Brigade of the West"' got its name at Antietam and was dutinet from the original Iron Brigado under Gen. Hatch. The Irish Brigade was famous for its he roic conduct on the field. It was composed of the Sixty-third, Sixty-ninth and Eigaty eighth Xew York, Twenty-eighth Massa chufetts and One Hundred and Sixteenth Pennsylvania, The rognnenu re-enlifcted and continued in service to the end. Tw commanuer3 wore Killed at tne nrna at it, &31 men were killed and over S.&JO wounded. The First Jersey brigade carae into prominence through Gen. Kearny, who organized and trained it. The original First, Second, Third and Fourth Xew Jer sey were joined later by the Tenth and Eleventh and remained in service to the ead, losing 900 killed. A n&ieworthy in siance of battle order barn of the &ocasiB came under my eyes in connection with tbe "Jerseys"' and Phil Keamy. I: wsjs in the Seven Days' on thai memorable June 50. when the line of bcUle fire de fceribed three-fourths of a circle around MeClfrfiaa's army freca White Oak g a v-MV-2L w f b aw. 1 apllf n-samy nau a amsion in tne center at liendale, where the fighting was terrible, tad aboutsundown,when the Pennsylvania -essrves had been cut up, fresh Confeder ates were coming, on and the Union re serves had all been drawn in, he began to call for more help. Regiments were prom ised where' a division, a corps was needed. On Kearny's right lay one division, Slo 2um's (Sixth corps), fighting, it is true, but holding its own. Word came to us from time to time of the situation at Glendale, md we knew that the gallant Phil Kearny was battling with his usual fire. The Jer sey brigade was with us and lay on the front line in the center, vaj own brigade being support to the division batteries. Suddenly we were called into line and marched rapidly to the front, and when we drew near the outposts tho Jerseys dashed by at double quick, going toward the rear. They wero in high spirits, how ever, and when we called out, "What does this mean, comrades they answered proudly: "Kearny sent for us. We are go ing to help Kearny." It is no flight of fancy to say that the words were as battle music and the men fairly danced with delight to think that Kearny, who had never seen his boys in battle, had looked to them, as Napoleon did to his Old Guard, to turu the scale of bat tle in an extreme moment. They held Kearny's broken line, Kearny held Sum ner's line, and Glendale was lost to the Confederates. The star division of the Union army was Hancock's old division. Gen. Rich ardson was killed leading it at Antietam, Hancock led it at Marye's Heights, and it fought under him at Gettysburg, the Wil derness, Spottsylvania and on. It never numbered over S,000 men and after Marye's Heights mustered but about 2,800. Its killed during tho war aggregated 2,257 and its wounded 11,724. The heaviest division loss in ono battle was sustained by Getty's division (Sixth corps) at tho Wilderness, where 4?0 were killed and 2,318 wounded. Among the Confederates the Twenty sixth North Carolina at Gettysburg prob ably had the severest experience of any regiment in one battle. It fought on the first day with S20 men and came out with 216. It went into Pickett's charge on the third day and came out with 80 men. In 1 s.. the rirrn vep.sioxt LrsE. all 86 men killed, 503 wounded and 130 (killed or wounded) missing. Ono com pany went in the first day with 3 officers and Si men, and all the officers and 63 men were killed or wonnded. At Fair Oaks Gen. John B. Gordon's Sixth Alabama lost 91 killed, 277 wounded 358 out of IkK, In the same battle tho Fourth North Carolina lost 77 killed and 2S6 wounded 303 out of C7S engaged. At Gaines' Mills the First South Carolina Rifles lost 81 killed, 234 wounded 315 out of 537 engaged. At Stone's River the Eighth Tenna-weo had 41 killed and 285 wounded 306 out of 444 engaged. Tho percentage of loss for the whole war cannot be given for Confederate regiments. Four lost over 70 per cent, in single en gagements, as follows: First Texas, Antie tam present, 22fi; killed, 45; wounded, Ul; per cent., S2.3. Twenty-first Georgia, Ma nassas (Second Bull Run) present, 242; killed, 33; wounded, 148; per cent., 78. Twenty-sixth North Carolina, Gettysbnrr present, 820; killed, 8C; wounded, 502; per cent., 71.7. Sixth Mississippi, Shiloh present, 425; killed, 01: wounded, 233; per cent., 70.5. Fifty-three Confederate regi ments lost 50 per cent, and upward. In the Union armies complete records display the startling facts in all particular?. The infantry regiment at tho head of tbe roll of honor for killed and mortally wounded ig the Fifth New Hampshire. During four years' service it lost in action 295 men. The second highest, the Eighty-third Penn sylvania, lost 2S2 men in action. The Sev enth Wisconsin io-.t 230, the Fifth Michi gan 203 and the Twentieth Massachusetts SCO. The maximum of these regiments was 1,000 men and tho total enrollment less than 2,000. At tho head of the list for maximum percentages of enrollment killed stands the Second Wisconsin. This regiment enrolled 1,203 men, of whom 233, or 19 7 per cut., were killed. The next is the First Maine Heavy Artillery, whicij enrolled 2.302, of whom 423, or 10.2 per cent., wero killed The Fifty-seventh Massachusetts enrolled 1,052, of whom 201, or 10.1 per cent., were killed. Tho Union regiment at the head of per centages killed in one action is the First Minnesota, which lost at Gettysburg 3i per cent, killed, "a percentage unequ&led in military annals," Col. Fox declares. Tho next is the Fifteenth New Jersey, which lost 26 percent, of its men at Spottsylvania. The Twenty-fifth Mnavtchuaelts treat in p.t Cold Harbor with 310 men and lost 74 killed within fifteen ininutea. This was 4 per cent.
