Chamberlain, A flajor Ueneral in the Union Army During the Civil War Honor Paid to South, ern Armv. New;; and Obseiver. To the Editor: The enclosed letter from General Chamberlain, of Maine, a Major-General in the Union army in the Civil War, in reply to mine of the 30th ulto., (also enclosed, that the tenor of his may be fully understood) may be of interest to your readers. Perhaps some of the old Confederate veteraus remember the incident of the surrendered Hag mentioned here in. "Washington. D.C., July 30, 1901. Gen Joshua L. Chamberlain, Port land. Maine. "My Dear Sir: Let love of chivalry be a stranger's excuse for writing you. The dawn of April ith, thirty-six years ago, the day that marked the end of the great American Civil Con flict, found me too young to realize! the momentous import of ihe times! or to understand the gloom that tilled j my home in the 'Old North State.' j But reading today in the -Personal Reminiscences of Gen. Robert K. Le.' that peerless Southern captain, the chivalrous words that fell from your lips on that fateful day, I feci con strained to quote them to you in full, thinking you may have' never seen them in history. A gallant color-bearer, as he de livered up the tattereil remnant of his Hag, burst into tears and s:id to the Federal soldiers who received it: "Boys, this is not the lirst time you have seen that Hag. I have born it in the front of battle on many a victori ous field, and I had rather die than surrender it now.1 -Brave follow,' said ( ieneral Chamberlain, of Maine, I admire your noble spirit, and only regret that I have not the authority to bid you keep your flag and carry it home as a precious heirloom." l -lin ntpr K ivxru 3;Vt "Hoping that in the decline of life you have health and comfort, and that after you answer the last roll call here your chivalrous soul may ilnd repose in the Valhalla of the brave, I am, sir, "Very respectfully yours, "L. B. EATON." In answer to ttoe above letter Gen eral Chamberlain wrote as follows: Portland, Me., August 1, 1901. "L. B. Eaton, Esq., Washington, 1). C. "My Dear Sir: I thank you with peculiar pleasure for your line and appreciative letter of the 30th ulto., and the reference therein to some notice of a simple act of mine at the surrender of Lee's army. "I had not supposed anybody re membered, or cared, what I said on the occasion referred to. I remember it well, for it was the last flag sur rendered there and it came in borne by a little remnant of a regiment which had recently been, I think, act ing as Headquarter's Guard, and there fore came in late in the ceremony, after being relieved from that de tail. The poor fellows or I would rather say, the noble fellows clung to that flag, battle-smoked and blood stained, as if it were dearer than life to them dear as manho'i and honor. I felt their feeling, and said to them something like you have quoted. "You may not know that in form ing my lines to receive the surrender of these arms and colors, I had given instructions for the regiments suc cessively, as the respective Cenfeder ete com'manders and divisions were passing our front to form for this last act in arms, to come to the -carry' of the manual (then called the 'shoulder') in token of respect for brave men, and in a deep sense comrades; and this be ing done, was responded to in like manner by the passing column. "Was not this a grand feature of this last meeting in arms of two his toric armies! If vour are from the -Old North State,' I would like to meet you. There was no body of men more "brave and in all ways manly than those she sent to that great or deal. With high regards, "Truly yours, JOSHUA L. CHAMBERLAIN." Who, Mr. Editor, can doubt the stability of the Republic when that mighty'CivilConflict failed to destroy it! Who can doubt that its destiny is safe under the guidance of the de scendants of the immortal Lee and of that generous, high-souled soldier, Joshua L. Chamberlain, of Maine! Very truly yours. 'h. B.

Madrid Dispatch to New York Journal. Captain Emilio Diaz Morea. who commanded the Cristobal Colon dur ing the memorable naval conflict off Santiago, has paid a glowing trjbute to Admiral Schley and the B.-ooklvn. Captain Morea said: "Ail tbe American ofheers, without exception, did their duty in the naval battle off Santiago. So did we. al though it is certain that we were van quished by superiority of force. It is absurd and unpatriotic to make any exception in the case of Admiral Schlev. "It is absurd because the Brooklyn was in the thick of the tisrht through out. She was at the mouth of the harbor when we tried to nass out. and engaged us with a terrific tire, doim' frightful damage to the end. In the pursuit of the Cristobal Colon we sur rendered to the Brooklyn fortv-tive miles West of Santiago. "The Brooklyn was the first to en couuler us as we were coming out, and the lirst to lead in the pursuit, and she kept up the lead, with tbe Oregon aiding. The BroeWyu landed a hell just ahead of my ship, anil, with the Oregon helping her, there was nothing left for me to do but run ashore. "The Brooklyn's conduct wa brave, hence Commodore Schley's was brave. Sell ley wa- cm the post where he was put by Sampson. After the battle commenced each commander acted according to circumstances, and even this shows that the Brooklyn bore a brave part. I should say that Schley was not only brave, but very com petent, as is Sampson, whom I know personally. "I do not know Schley, but I am a friend of Captain Cook, of the Brook lyn, whose photograph I have. On the back of it you can read the follow ing: " 'Duty to our flags brought us to gether in strife. The sea made us friends. May God preserve your life and give to you that measure of bless ing which your courage so richly de serves.' "I believe the whole crew of the Brooklyn, including Schley, acted with great bravery under tire and amid the storm of projectiles. Of all the American ships the Brooklyn was the most exposed to our lire and to that of our batteries. "Commodore Schley's own report was a model of a plain, sailor-like and gentlemanly statement. Schley di rected that our officers retain their personal effects. A coward is never generous." A Fiendish Attack. An attack was lately made on C. F. Collier, of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly proved fatal. It came through his kidneys. His hack got so lame he could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair ex cept propped ly cushions.

North Carolina will d& its best at the Charleston Exposition, but it will be there. Of course it will show some of its good things, but without a gen eral superior exhibit it will not do it self credit. It will be judged more by its things not seen thau by that it shows. The Biltmore (Vanderbilt) stock show will be there and it will be tine. Other breeders will exhibit. There is time yet for North Carolina to appear in its Tery best attire. We find this in au exchange and we sup pose it comes from the committee in charge: "Therefore, the exhibit at Charles ton should be the richest and most complete made by any State in the South. "The great and varied resources of the State, regarding as they do from the colossal fisheries and truck farms of the coast region to the rich mines and towering hard-wood forests of the mountains, make the possibilities of a North Carolina exhibit second to none, whenever the State chooses to stir it self."

Boer Women Can Fight. AN AMERICAN GIRL DESCRIBES SITUATION . IN THE TRANSVAAL. Boers Outwardly Very Religious No Field forWoman's Right Propaganda The Women are Excellent Shots Visit to President Kruger Admira tion for Manner in Which They Pre pared for War With England. Philadelphia Record. One of the best descriptive stories of the life and characteristics of the South African Dutch that has been told in this country since the out break of hostilities between the Brit ish and the Boers was related the other day by Miss Alice Kellogg, who is stopping with a friend, Mrs. Chase, at No. 19 Lancaster street, Cambridge. Miss Kellogg arrived in this coun try two weeks ago, after a three years' stay in South Africa, and this makes her story au up-to-date narra tive. Miss Kellogg is a graduate of the class of 1894 of Wellesley, and taught a class in English in the Wel lington University, at Cape Town. "There is no question," said she, "that the Boers are outwardly a very religious people. They believe the Bible literally, and have not the slightest doubt that the world was made in six days. In their homes they have prayers at least twice a day, and it must be admitted that they support their minister in a much better way, financially, than do the people of some more progressive countries; and these ministers, by the way, are very influential factors in the community life of the Boers, filling almost the role of local popes. "Once in a while, however, one will hear of an incident that will serve to shake one's belief in the uni versal sincerity of the Boer faith. There was one instance within my own knowledge, where an elder of ihe church killed a native without having the excuse of self-defense, and who afterward actually boasted of the deed. It is hard to believe, of course, that the man was a sincere Chris tian." As to the Boer women, Miss Kel lgg's studies of the fair sex in the Transvaal have left about the same impression upon her mind as in the case of most other visitors to the country. "The Boer women." said she, "are essentially domestic, as it well known, and I would say," she added, laugh ingly, "that the Transvaal would hardly present a fertile field for a wo man's right propaganda. If the Transvaal women are not too busy looking after their large families of children and extensive retinue of native servants, they would stand too much in fear of their husband's veto to indulge in any such movement as that. "Their avoirdupois has not been exaggrated, for fatness is considered a distinct sign of beauty in the Dutch women of South Africa. Further more, they are very careful of their complexions, amusing as that may seem, and for that reason wear those big sunbonnets that are such a strik ing feature of their attire. "The free, outdoor life that they lead is a splendid thing for these Boer women and girls physically. Moreover, it has resulted in making them splendid shots with the rifle, and some of them can bring down a buck as well as a man could. They all have arms." Miss Kellogg was asked what she thought of the cabled report some time since that President Kruger had decided to send the women of the Re public into the firing line in order to bring about, through the inevitable killing of many of them, a moral up rising agaiust the British on the part of the whole civilized world. She quickly replied: "I think the moral uprising would be against President Kruger for doing such a thing. However, from what I saw iu that country, I do not think there is the remotest possibility of such a thing happening. "I have no doubt," continued Miss Kellogg, "that the Boer women would fight, and light willingly. They are no less brave than their husbands and brothers, and, as I have already re marked, they are excellent shots. "The Boer women have few pas times, even if they b"ad time to in dulge in them, and perhaps dancing niav be considered their favorite amusement. Not long before my de parture I witnessed one of these dances, the floor being -waxed' for the occasion with sheep's blood." Perhaps Miss Kellogg's most inter esting experience while in South Africa was her visit to President Kruger while she was traveling through the Transvaal. The inter view was only a brief one; but, un like most such events in which Amer icans or other foreigners figure at the Executive Mansion at Pretoria the presence of the official inter Teter was unnecessary, as Miss Kellogg and her friends all spoke Dutch. This fact assured them an espec ially cordial welcome from the Presi dent and his wife, although His Excel lency was not slow to mildly express his disapproval when one of the visi tors momentarily lapsed into the hated English tongue. Miss Kellogg says that President Kruger looks ex actly as his portraits picture him and dresses in just the careless and in formal way that has been so often de scribed. 1 "I wanted very much to secure President Kruger's autograph, but I had previously been warned by a friend in Pretoria not to ask for it, as it usually took the old gentleman a half hour to write it," said she. "However, I am sorry that' I did not make the request. As it was I was honored by the presentation of several pamphlet copies of this remarkable man's speeches, and which he rather ubrnptly left the room to procure personally, "I was" in the Transvaal shortly after the Jameson raid, and I know SOCIALISM AND ANARCHY. The One Is Defined as Theoretical Anarchy, the Other as Practical Socialism. Raleigh Post Some epigrammist has defined So cialism as theoretical Anarchy, and Anarchy as practical Socialism. This is as true as terse. It com prehends the whole situation, and properly indicates the one as the natural, logical sequence of the other. Anarchy as defined by the lexico graphers is, "Absence of government; the stale of society where there is no law or supreme power; a state (law lessness; political confusion." Social ism as generally taught by its votar ies is a re-adjustment of social condi tions by lawless, revolutionary methods. And Auarchy as illus trated at Buffalo Friday, Sept. 18, is but the practical application of the teachings of Socialism, the methods resorted to vicious men, sometimes enacted into laws and not infrequent ly interpreted into laws for sinister purposes. A citizen the other day, after read ing the statement in a telegram from the Governor to a New York paper that there were no anarchists in North Carolina, remarked: "There may not be any who will commit murder, but there are those who will take property by unjust methods and say its law." Much of the teachings of the day, by men occupying "promi nent positions, appealing to the ignoranco and prejudices of the peo ple and thus arousing passions which culminate in the oppression of certain classes of enterprise and otherwise doing injury to property rights and property interests, are only removed from --practical Socialism" by a lack of courage that moved the Buffalo criminal to do his villanious work. These teachings do not result in mur der of the individual associated with these important enterprises, but it encourages and justifies the taking of their property, by unjust and dis criminating burdens, which is but a step in the direction of the greater crime; for the legally constituted and established remedies for the mainten ance and protection of property rights are as much the objects of as sault by these Socialists as are the property interests themselves. On general principles the Buffalo murderer, Herr Most, Emma Gold man, and their kith are adjudged in sane, people whose mental condition is criminally distorted. This may be so, yet they are none the less danger ous to society and the good of society demands their suppression. The other class differ with the Mosts and Goldmans in mental disorder only in degree, but are to the extent of their work and purposes as dangerous. Yet, some of this latter clas3 are even preferred for important posi tions of trust ami responsibility because of their known views along the lines suggested their antagon ism to certain instu mentalities which are essential to the business life of the people. There are Socialists whatever they may call themselves, or how ever violent may be their denuncia tion of the Buffalo crinfinal or the creed which prompted him to his diabolical work. And the good of society, the proper respect for law and order, and the preservation of the rights of citizens, in property as well as life and liberty, demand their suppression.

The newspapers of the State tfs plore the occurrence of lynchings equally as much as does Governor Avcoek, and if instead of blaming the newspapers the Governor would lay the responsibility to the courts and the lawyers he would be nearer right. Let the Governor, if it is in his power, take some steps or at least advocate them that will lead to the enactment of fewer farces in the name of trials in courts and there will be less ground for the newspapers to say "nothing else was to be expected" when there is a lynching. The manner of trial of perpetrators of crimes that cause lynchings is wrong. Who wants to see the victim of such a crime drag ged in court and forced to repeat the horrible story in public? A GOOD INVESTMENT. One thousand mile tickets of the Sea board Air Line Railway, which are sold at $25.00, are good over the entire eys teni, and are also honored between Rich mond and Washington by the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac and Pennsyl vania Railroads, between Portsmouth and Baltimore by the Baltimore Steam Packet Company (Bay Line) and between Clinton and Columbia, S.

Confederate Stars and Bars Unfurled in New York City During the Civil War by Mrs. flartha Bulloch Roose velt, the Mother of President Theo dore Roosevelt, at Which a Mob Threatened Violence. 1 Philadelphia North American. From the paternal branch of the an cestral tree may have been derived some of the indomitable spirit of President Roostvelt, but certain it is that the maternal branch was rich in that quality which marked the Bul lochs, of Georgia, for their resolution, pertinacity and strength of will. No better exponents of those traits could be found than Martha Bulloch Roose velt, the mother of the President. Not long after the Civil War Mrs. Roosevelt was on a visit to Savannah, where she had many friends. She was a Geosgia wuman, of distinguish ed ancestry, the Bulloch family being one of the oldest in the State, aud its representatives having served with distinction in the highest positions. It was but natural, therefore, that she should have been well received upon her visit to that city. Reunion with her Southern friends, after the years of the war that she had spent at her home in New Yort?. was a pleasure to Mrs. Roosevelt, and it was with the keenest relish that she recounted stories of the times and of the trials that she had suffered in the city of her adoption. CONFEDERATE FLAG L'XFUKLEI) IX NEW YORK. It was at a dinner given in Mrs. Roosevelt's honor by Mrs. Henrietta S. Cohen that she told the story. Of late years, because of Theodore Roose velt's rapid advancement, it has been recalled by his mother's old friends, who feel pride in having known the mother of the President, and gladly ascribe to her some of the traits that are seen in her son. It was just when the dove of peace, uncertain as to whether it should alight, was hovering ovor the land. New York was aflame with passionate patriotism, and anything smacking of Confederacy was not tolerated. Feel ing ran high, and woe was it to any who braved the tide and showed a leaning toward the cause of the South. Theodore Roosevelt, the elder, de cided about that time to give some great social function. The Roosevelt mansion was accordingly bravelv decked in bunting and with United States flags. From every window, save one, flew the Stars and Stripes. That exception was Mrs. Roosevelt's boudoir window. Her huiband had not desired to omit it from the deco rative scheme, but she would have none of it. Instead, she hit upon a plan that would clearly reveal her sentiments. Stopping not to consider tho peril in which it might place her and her husband, but determined to show that all In that house were not for the cause of the North, she drew from among her cherished treasures the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy. Going to the window, she firmly fixed its staff and allowed its folds to flut ter to the breeze. In an instant, almost, the hostile ensign was noted. In hot indignation one ooserver pointed it out to another, and a mob speedily grew, as mobs will. Soon the street was choked with angry people, who shook threat ening fists at the Confederate flag and inveighed most bitterly. DEFIED A MOB AND THE FLACi RKMAI.NED Alarmed by the gathering that was r swelled at every moment, and which directed its threats against his house, Mr. Roosevelt sought the cause that had stirred the people to anger. He was not long In finding it. Fierce ac claim directed his gaze, which rested upon the fluttering emblem of the South. The Roosevelt nature has never quailed before a crowd. Theo dore, the elder, saw that imminent danger could be averted only through persuading his wife so rpmovf the ob jectionable flag. With a word to the crowd he entered the house to find his wife. He told her what he al ready knew that the anger of the mob had been excited by her indis creet display of the Southern colors, and said that it would ba well for her to take in the flag. "I shall not do so," said the mother of the President. "The flag is mine: the boudoir is mine; 1 love the flag, for it represents my native land. No ruffian shall invade the privacy of my boudoir to drag down that flag, nor shall ruffian shouts force me to re move it from the window that is wholly mine. Explain to them that I am a Southern woman; that I love the South. Do anything you like, except touch that flag. It shall not come down." And it did not. Theodore Roose velt went again to face tbe crowd. He dwelt with finesse upon his wife's love for her native land, and molded the gathering to his will and to an in dulgence of Mrs. Roosevelt in her de sire to fly the flag of her beloved Sonth. The crowd dispersed. The story remains to show a maternal quality that has made a President. WANT NO MORE OF IT. Washington Post.

"There are not a few recorded cases of chronic diseases and physical de formities being cured by fright or some violent emotion," said a student of the curious, "but I have read or beard of nothing more extraordinary than a recent occurrence in North Louisiana. By comparison the most extravagant alleged faith cures ap pear commonplace. A Mr. Hampton had been a cripple for 1J years. He had an affection of the spine and was unable to walk. . He was carried about from plaoe to, place by a large, powerful-limbed negro, who carried him as he would a sack of corn. Mr. Hampton would put his arms arouud the negro's neck. One night two laborers, who belonged to a gang which was repairing the railroad track in the vicinity, planned to steal a pig. They knew one of the farmers had butchered three pigs, and that the dressed animals were hanging in a barn. One of the men sneaked into the building to get a porker while the other waited on the road side to keep a lookout. It was an exceeding ly dark night, and, as it happened, Mr. Hampton and his negro were re turning home. Suddenly, out of tbe dark, loomed the form of the black servant with his charge on his back. The waiting accomplice to the pig thief thought it was his partner re turning with his greasy booty, and cried out in smothered tones: " Is he fat?' "The negro was superstitious, as the race is wont to be, and he thought it was a ghost. He jun.ped about 10 feet, and Mr. Hampton was shaken off his back. The negro was a faithful fellow under ordinary circumstances, but in his fear all ties were forgotten, and he ran down the road. Mr. Hampton was greatly frightened him self and made a supreme effort to fol low the deserter. Strange to say, he succeeded in using his limbs, and ran 200 yards before stopping. None of the country doctors could explain the phenomenon; but it is a fact that he was completely cured." A lteprt from Supi. J. C. Uluck, Re form School, rruatftown, XV. Va. Oetober 18tb, 1900. "After trying all other advertised cough medicines we have decided to use Foley's Honey and Tar exclusively in the West Virginia Reform School. 1 find it the most effective, and ab-olutely harmless."

The doctor recommended me to go to a farmhouse for two weeks this summer," said the man of nerves, and I'm wondering if he ever passed a night outside of a city. On my first night the tree frogs kept me awake; on my second the roosters crowed from midnight on; and on my third, a big bullfrog In the horse pond didn't permit me to close my eyes. I got up next morning and told the fanner I couldn't stand it and muat go, and he hoard roe in xur prist and said: "Why. man. I've had maimer boarders here who got so loneitome nights that I had to drive the old bull up and twitt his tail to make him beller and keep them company." Stepped Into Live Coals.

The exports of tbe United States continue to grow larger, due to our ability to pay what we owe abroad. If any one doubts this proposition let him tike a hrm. If, daring tbe year. $1,000 in provision for man and beast and wages have been brought in it will be a sad day for the owner if, when the year ends, he has not exported, that It. shipped from his farm enough to pav this 1 1,000 and having coming in a profit besides. This i the theory of exports and im ports. Tbe outgo is what it costs to make the crop; the income represents what the farm has mad. In money and products the income must exceed the outgo, or the farming has been done at a loss. A NEW BALTIMORE OFFICE.
