W, A. CrofTut, In Springfield republican. r i Two' Warriors and Their Last Charge. By JOHN W. HARDING, Author of "The Gate of the Kiss." "Heard the latest from the Philip-' pines?" queried young Lieut Oay at the Raconteurs' club, as he glanced up from his newspaper at a number of the members who, cigar in mouth, were enjoying the post-prandial hour of dolce far nlente, utterly indifferent. In their contentment and comfortable surroundings, to the wind that rat tled and the rain that beat against the windows of their Fifth Avenue clubhouse. "Here's a single Filipino who has the sand to charge a whole American column!" 1 "Wow!" chorused his listeners, 1 In credulously. "And what happened to the gentle Tagalog?" , "He isn't, or I suppose it is safe to say wasn't a Tagalog, but a Moro," re plied the lieutenant, "though I sup pose all Filipinos are alike to us here. As to what happened to him, the dis patch leaves It to the imagination. This is all it says: "Manila, Sept. 27 Three compa nies of iniantry, commanded by Capt. Ell A. Helmnick of the 10th regiment, left Camp Vicars, Inland a.' Mind.viao, Thursday, to reconnoitre the ; Moro forts and recover stolen arms. They encountered' only slight opposition. The column captured, and destroyed the Bullg forts. A few Moros were killed. The American troops had, no casualties. A fanatical Moro, armed with a bolo, charged the column alone." There was silence for a moment, as each man, Impressed by the dispatch writers' laconic reference to the1 in cident, mentally paid his tribute of pity and respect to the battle-frenzied patriot of the distant Isle who thus su perbly had defied fate and the might of his country's conquerors and, armed with a useless sword, bad courted a warrior's death from halt a thousand lightning bolts. Then a slight, elegant man of medium height, with clean-cut features and a gray pointed beard re marked quietly: "That recalls a similar and very ex traordinary incident which I witnessed in the Soudan in 1885." The speaker was Stanford HylUh, a visiting English journalist and ex war correspondent, to whom the cour tesies of the club bad been extended. The entire company was attention im mediately, and Mr. Hyliah, on beins pressed, continued: "It was during the operations, begun too late, alas! . for the rescue of Qor dcVafrKbartoum. I was with the col umn commanded by dan. Sir Herbert Stewart, which made that famous dash cross the desert to Metemneh when 1500 Tommies and bluejackets at Abu Klea fought off 10,000 tribesmen whose valor is immortalized In Kipling's barrack-room ballad 'Fuzzy-Wuzzy': " 'An' ere'g to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, with your 'nyrlek 'egd of 'air Tou big black, boundln' beggar for you broke a British square.' "The column was made up of the Sussex regiment, mounted infantry, camel corps of guardsmen, and a detachment of men-o'-wgr's men, with a troop of tbe Nineteenth Hussars acting as scouts. We hurried along with us four screw guns and a couple of muings, Big Col. Fred Burnaby of The Rid to Khiva' fame, was of the expedition,, owl rejoicing mightily thereat, caring nothing (if be had any premonition of his fate) that It was to nark the close of his adventurous ca reer. Not having been able to get tlmtelf aent to tha front, be bad ee r "ed -several months' leave of ab- ( e, and, armed wltb a shotgun, bad sv.irtaken the army on the Nile, hav- t j dodged, by avoiding the Egyptiaa f Imperative orders t return 1 ta t-?T I'-t of fnscIe HOME DAYS. interception by the war office authori ties, who bad learned of his departure. "We had made a forced march of 18 hours and were nearlng the wells at Abu Klea. Not a man had had a mor sel to eat or a drop to drink during all that time. Most of us were on the verge of prostration from fatigue and the torture caused by the sand and fine dust which clogged our mouths, ears, and nostrils, causing an intolerable thirst, and penetrated our worn and in many cases ragged clothing. The scouts dashing In at breakneck speed apprised us of danger, and we barely had time to form a square about our baggage and animals when two mighty, surging torrents of black humanity swept upon us. "Three minutes after the first horde got within range we could scarcely see each other, owing to the smoke from the rifles. There was no wind. The atmosphere, heavy with the terrible heat, as it seemed to us, appeared to concentrate the powder smoke in a dense, acrid, choking pall through which It was Impossible to see the on rushing tribesmen. The screw guns had to be cleared of sand before they could be put into action. Aa for tho Catlings, they had to bo taken to pieces and cleaned. Bluejackets in side the square were doing this ex peditiously, but with the utmost calm ness, amid pandemonium, for the' men told off to look after the animals were having the tussle of their lives. Some of tbe camels and horses had been wounded, and were squealing and plunging madly. Meanwhile officers were rushing along the rear of the lines of the square, shouting amid the din Into the ears of the men to aim low at their Invisible foes. "Suddenly, on the left rear of tbe square,' where the heavy cavalry and camel corps men had formed, an Im mense black mass which had broken through the terrtble circle of fire loomed through the smoke cloud at the very barrels of the rifles, and, hurling itself upon the square with the irresistible force of an avalanche, broke through the lines. Some of the cavalrymen, true to their Instincts, and lacking the infantrymen's train ing to meet such an emergency, broke ranks and rushed at the enemy. The others and the Infantry stood their ground, and by dint of terrific fighting closed the gap. Many of the hapless cavalrymen thus shut out fell, pierced by the bullets of their comrades. Tho tribesmen who had broken through were quickly cut down, though not before Col. Burnaby and many othr fc-allaut fellows had been killed. Bur naby, you may recall, received a spear thrust In the throat. Gen. Stewart himself had a narrow escape, his horse being slain under him. "Meanwhile one of the fiercest and bloodiest hand-to-hand fights in the annala of warfare was in progress all along the line. Every man, handi capped from the first by exhaustion through be was, knew that not only his own existence, but the lives of the entire command, depended upon tbe square being kept intact Tommies and tars fought like demons, and for the first time I understood bow the expression 'to swear like a trooper probably had its origin, for while they fought they swore continuously and horribly, and tbe curses of tbe wound ed would In any other circumstances have been frightful to bear. What they were 'up against,' aa you Ameri cana aay, will be better understood when I tell you that those glganUe and absolutely fearless blacks burled themselves upon the bayoneta and de liberately in paled themselves la order to reach and enable other warriors behind them to attain, with their p pears and long swords the men hoU Ing the square. J "All this took place In a few min utes. Then tho gatlings and other guns got to work and the black mans withered away In their fire and the leaden hnll from the rifles. "The result Is matter of history. Our casualties were nine officers and 63 non-commlssloned officers and men kilted and 85 wounded. The tribes men left about 2000 killed and wound ed on the field. "It was then that the Incident re called by the lone Filipino with his bolo occurred. Nearly an hour after It was all over and the black host bad vanished, the men not engaged In at tending to tho wounded and the ani mals were drawn up awaiting orders. They were In loose lines, propping themselves on their rifles and discuss ing the lint tic. A thousand yards away a superb Fuzzy-Wuzzy rose amid the hillocks of Blaln and looked wildly upon the scene of carnage about him. He was of uncommon stature and proportions, even for those big ath letic men of the desert, and evidently a chief. His actions attracted Imme diate attention. He gazed at the thin, grim ranks of the conquerors from the north who were blazing the way for tbe advance of civilization Into the wild fastnesses of his ancestors; scanned the horizon on every side In vain for a trace of the Mahdl's mighty and reputed Invincible cohorts; looked once more upon the bodies heaped and strewn around him, then picked up a shield and spear, and with a scream of defiance and despair charged upon the army at full speed! "The Tommies who had supposed he was wounded as he doubtless was, unless he had been simply stunned by a bullet-were astonished beyond meas ure. Not quite knowing whether to take him seriously they were reluctant to kill him. Besides, perhaps they felt a little sympathetic admiration for him. But the warrior was out for blood, and evidently not disposed to listen to argument. His poised spear meant death to some one, and amid cries of 'Don't shoot; 'It 'lm a toss with the butt!' 'Look out; 'e's as mad as a March hare!' and 'Give It to the poor beggar; It can't be helped!' a doz en men raised their rifle, there was a crackling fire, and the warrior pitched forward and lay about 100 yards from the detachment of guards. "That night, while soldiers and sail ors, exhausted as men rarely are, were dreaming the battle over again, or of those they had left behind In the peaceful towns and villages of England, I lay sleplesg from nervous excitement, watching the sentries silhouetted In the violet night and the great bright stars that twinkled seemingly so near to earth as to be almost within reach, The vision of that solitary warrior, such was the Impression he made upon me, recurred with depressing persist ence, and, though I have Been many terrible scenes of suffering and hero ism In war, as it frequently has done since, and probably will continue to do when I am alone with my thoughts, until at my last bivouac I fall into the slumber that knows no dreaming." New York Tribune. 6UAINT AND CURIOUS. It is stated that the largest steel plate ever rolled waa one recently turned out by the" Parkgate Worns, EnalonJ: It is 30 feet long. 10 feet six inches wide and 7-8 of an Inch thick. In Egypt nets are spread along tbe coast. In which hundreds of thousanJs of the birds which come from Europe, all worn out from the long flight across the ocean, are caught, slaugh tered, and sold for two cents apiece. Among the material used in the con struction of the new Christ's Hospital at Horsham, England, were 40 miles of hot water pipes, 98 miles of electric wire, 20,000,000 bricks, 1,500,- 000 tiles, five acres of wood flooring, 100,000 cubic feet of stone and 56,000 tons of cement, sand and breeze. An American Inventor of infinite re sources and sagacity baa utilized rata to lay the telephone cables through the conduits. Several rats were turned loose in the conduit wltb a ferret af ter them, to which was attached a cord. Through 700 feet of the conduit the merry chase was carried, and tho rats emerged into daylight at the other end just a tew feet ahead of the ferret, which waa - probably impeded some what by tbe cord. Snakes in menagerlee often fast many months. Cases were recorded at the Paris Museum of a rattlesnake which refused food 26 months and a python which fasted 29 months. But the record belongs to a Japanese py thon which arrived in Paris in Novem ber, 1899. It died in April, 1902, after having refused food for two years five months anj three days. During that time Its weight had decreased from 75 kilogrammes to 27. A telegram from Marseilles relates a terrible accident which caused the death of a young man of 18, lu the em ployment of the electrlo tramway com pany, says the Paris Messenger. His duty was to examine the working of tbe lamps In a number of carriages at the depot, and In order to facilitate bis task he placed several colls of wire round his neck. He went front car to car In this way, when, while crossing the tram lines, be stumbled and fell. The ground belug damp, a connection was established and the unfortunate youth waa killed outright When picked up bla head waa found to bo completely carbonized. : UTILIZING OF WASTE. PROGRESS IN BY-PRODUCTS' MANU- FACTURE IN RECENT YcAKS, The TV or It's Inurement ef Wealth Im pendent ITpnn Plntllng Economical t'ses for Industrial sunatanoes Wajra In Which Herns Is Mart rrnrtnellve. The following extracts are taken from a report by Henry T. Klttredga of Boston to the director of the cen sus upon the utilization of wastes and by-products In manufactures. Mr. Klt tredge Is a well-known expert in man ufacturing processes: "Nothing In the art 8 of manufac ture Is more Indicative of economic efficiencies than the utilization of pro duett that have been rejected as waste or residues In the Industrial processes. The acme of Industrial economy la the profitable employment of every atom of materlaly In whatever form It may be presented or however obtained. Every particle of an organic or Inor ganic substance has a useful part to play In contributing to human necessi ties or pleasures, and when It per forms no function toward some useful end, or remains dormant. It shows that the Ingenuity nnd enterprise of man have not reached their fullest devel opment, or that the arts of the labora tory have not revealed all the secrets of nature. "For nearly a century the world's main supply of soap depended on soda, which was obtained aa a product of the sulphuric-acid Industry. Notwith standing soap was known to the an cients, It was regarded even in the middle ages as a luxury, and when it was not readily obtained, the lack of cleanliness waa concealed by fine clothes and by perfumes. The soda Industry being brought to a standstill In France during the French revolu tion, the national convention of that country appealed to the chemists to discover some method for making soda from common salt, which had been shown by Ihi Hamel, in 1736, to con tain the same base as soda. About 40 years thereafter, Scheele found that caustic soda could be obtained from salt by the action of lead oxide; but the production of soda by chemical processes waa unimportant from an Industrial standpoint until Le Blanc secured results that gave to the world one of its principal Industries. His discovery was based upon the treat ment of chloride of sodium with sul phuric acid, forming hydrochloric acid and sulphate of soda. The hydro chloric acid was regarded as a by product of so little value that it was allowed to pass off Into the air, to the great detriment of vegetation In the neighborhood. To remedy this evil the English government took action against tho soda works to compel them to condense the acid and keep it out of tbe way, and this led in directly to the discovery that hydro Chloric acid could be used as a valua ble agent in the bleaching industry, which, however, waa at that time far from having attained its present height of development. "The choicest perfumes that are placed upon the market are no doubt obtained from oils and ethers extract ed from flowers; but there are many others which are artificially made, many out of bed-smelling elements. The fusel oil obtained in the distilla tion of spirits has an odor that is peculiarly disagreeable, yet it la used, after treatment with proper acids and oxidizing agents, in making the oil of apples and the oil of pears; and tbe oil of grapes and the oil of cognac are little more than fusel oil diluted. Oil of pineapple Is best made by the action of putrid cheese on sugar, or by dlstlllng rancid butter with alcohol and sulphuric acid. One of the most popular perfumes may be obtained from one of the products of gas tar, out of which Is also obtained the oil of bitter almonds, so largely cou&umed in the manufacture of perfumed soap and confectionery. Tho refuse of cities throughout tbe civilized world Is now generally col lected and disposed of for sanitary reasons, though In many instances It is utilized to good advantage for Industrial purposes. The collection of this refuse has been made only within a comparatively few years, but Is now carried on systematically, being more' or less self-supporting and ad vantageous from an industrial point of view. Formerly this refuse was simply accumulated and disposed of by burning, or canting into streams or onto waste land. Now, bones, glass, rags. Iron, paper, and other articles are separately collected and sold. "The food wastes of New York City are disposed of by what is known as the Arnold utilization process, which Is, briefly, steam digestion and a sep aration or the cooked product Into creases and fertilizer fillers. The greases are all, or nearly all, shipped abroad and it is bolleved, refined and separated into several grades, such as 'glycerine, red oil, lard oil, and Inferior grades.' It Is not known that refineries In this country are as yet able to handle what Is known as garb age grease, as the secret of the trade seems to be held abroad. The solids after being dried and screened are sold to the various manufacturers of 'complete fertilizers,' and by them made up into grades which seem to be particularly adapted for use in the cotton belt. "The economic uses of furnace slag have been greatly developed within the last few years. Formerly lag was carted away from the furnace and dls posed of In tbe most available place, as so much refuse material, hardly worth the cost of carting. A consid erable portion of this waste Is now put to some profitable uso aa a sub stltute fofr artificial porphyry In the construction of buildings - and for street pavements. Paving stones are are made from it for the streets of Metz, llnisBcls, anil Pnrls, of a quality stilflclently durable to stand heavy traffic. 'A very Important Innovation In the metallurgical Industry In Germany Is tho utilising of the waste gases of blast furnaces for working gas en gines. 'Gas machines for utilizing these gases were Introduced into Gormnny bout 1808, Good results were report ed from all qunrtcrs, which lend to the belief that this Is a material advance In the development of an Important gas-machine Industry. "Nearly all of the formerly waste products of lumber and timber are now turned to seme utility, and some of the new products thus formed are of considerable value. Of this Inter class may be mentioned saw dust, which was formerly considered an absolute waste material, and was allowed to float down the stream or was thrown Into a heap where It could bn moat conveniently disposed of. French cabinetmakers have found a way of preparing this mat erial which gives It a valtto far above that of solid timber by a process that has been In vogue for at least 25 or 30 years, combining the uso of hyl raulic press and the application of Intense heat. "The production hf acetic, wood naphta, and tar from sawdust is one of the latest enterprises in Norway." THE AMERICAN WF.', If This a Trn Plctnr fit Her Attitude Toward Her llnbandT But the American wife? Henry James has summed up the American wife in just one sentence. He says: "The American wife knows nothing of her husband's affairs except that they are of not tho slightest conse quence." This Is both epigrammatic and ex actly true. The American wife has quito a genuine affection for her hus band. Even aftor years of marriage have gone by, she thinks of him with unaffected friendliness. He Is so use ful. She credits him with almost all the virtues, except perhaps the virtue of being Interesting and she overlooks that one defect of his with charitable toleration. She sees hint come and go each day with clock-like regularity. She vaguely knows what his profes sion or vocation Is. She thinks bet ter of him If It Is a profession or vo cation that Is generally regarded as quite creditable; but this Is practical ly all she knows or cares about It. She roes him rising early and hurrying to his office. She hears him sitting lata Into the night In the room overhead; and she Is probably aware that he Is Itnmorsed in a great sea of papers and documents of some kind, or other tiresome and stupid things that he will persist In bringing home and fussing over. She finds that ho mtrnt sometime stay In town all through the summer when the thermomoter Is in the nine ties and when the sickly heat sweats on tbe very walls or sizzles on the pavement. She thinks it very incon siderate of him to do this. She would really rather have him go with hor to the cool, wind-swept nook that she se lects for her own summer's outing. Just why ho does not go, she cannot possibly Imagine It is ono of the curious, irrational traits which he possesses and which prevents her from taking him qul'.e seriously. Perhaps ho will run up there for a day or two; and when he does come she Is very nice to htm, apart from scolding him a little for getting so hideously thin and sallow. But he la not particularly comfortable t'nere. Ho follows her meekly Into the dining room three times a day for a while, and then he has to go back to what ever It Is that he does in town. Just what It is che doesn't know. The household bills are paid; the checks come to her regularly. She docs the things she likes to do, and rometimes dimly recognizes tho fact that it Is pleasant to have somebody to see that her various projects and arrange ments all come out so nicely. Her hus band Is really quite what a husband ought to be. He does his duty perfectly, and she has a very accurate notion of what that duty is. To provide what ever be requires, to fetch and carry out her bidding, to leave her absolute ly free from care, responsibility or worry such Is the whole duty of the American husband. ' And then, she Is so very sure of him! It never enters her bead that he has anything to wish for, that he can possibly be conscious of a void some where in life, or experience even the faintest stirring of dissatisfaction; that he could ever imagine anything different from what he has; that he might ever dream of an existence whoi'O he should be something better than tho household banker, a glorified butler, a superior mnitre d'hotel. She Is absolutely satisfied with herself and absolutely sure of him. She does not want another kind of husband, so why should he desire a dlfforent sort of wife?
