Wheat snd osts had been harvested and for thai moat pert hidden sway, hut corn was still stsndtng, pumpkins covered the ground, csttle, sheep snd swine, poultry, vegetables snd honey were round In aluuulnnco.

While enjoying the tniuriee on STery hsud, the Confederate* lookwl ahead a ml preps rsd for the long winter. There were hand looms In the country, snd sometimes the soldiers were, given s bolt or floth by elttsens lu sympathy with their cauae. If the owners of the cloth were not pat Hollo In that direc­tion the stuff was taken any way as a necessity of wsr.

For once the Confederates displayed s versatility not looked for among the MOIIS of gentlemen planters. Soldiers In grsy fanned the hides from beeves killed for food. They made shoe pegs nnd slut* lasts snd turned out a bun* drcd pair* of shoes a day for the cov­ering or the feet of the most needy.

Nuturslly the Yankee* didn't look calmly on while the enemy frorft Vir­ginia reveled In the rat of the laud. In fset, they needed sonic of the good thing* themselves, being far owity from

their supply depots, with nigged mouiV in hi* Intervening. Trooper* In blue kept st the heel* or t<ougatreet's rear guard, and as the <*onfederate* went Into permanent camp forage betwecu the lines soon gave out. Ity the middle of January the Federal draft animals were dying for hick of forage, snd the men were living on part rations, hauled from Chattanooga hy wagons. The rich country soi|th of the French Broad was as yet untouched by foragers, and Uenersl Foster decided to march his whole army Into that region, ilrant had ordered It tin to drive Ixmgstreet out of eaat Tennessee snd keep hlui out. llUter thought that hi* advance up the south bank of the French Brood would force the enemy ba< k toward Virginia .

On the 15th of January three Fed­eral corps, precedeil tiy cavalry, ad­vanced across the HoUton at Htraw* l>erry IMalna Into the angle between that rlrer and the French Broad, ln-tendliial lo cross the lntti*r southward on a do*ting bridge. I^Migstrvet's cav­alry under Uenersl Martin detected the move of the enemy, mid I.ongstfcet «Inine to fight rather than turn his men out of their tomfortahlu winter huts and retreat, as ho must do If the Fed­erals gained his flank south of the rtv-

er With two divisions he marched to give bsttle st Dsndrldge, but Foster promptly retreated s s d took up win ter iruartcrs st Knoivllle,

Menu while the Federal cavalry corps Under <ieuorsl H. I). Kturgls, three dtvb slens strong, had marched from Knox* vllle across the Holston up the south side of the French Droud. living off the country and only sparing what was neccsMjiry to support the Inhabitant* who were friendly lo tlie northern flag. iletting news or this new danger on his southern flank, l*ong*trect sent Ueneral Martin/* onvnlry across the French Broad and ordered Armstrong's division to follow and get In the rear of the Fetters la. . A* there was not enough corn nnd wheat in the land to feed two armies, Sturgl* decided to tight the newcomer*.

C.encral Martin tlrot fell «p«n the Iso la ted b r i g a d e of Colone l C a m p b e l l of McCook's dlvlwlon with Morgans command. Hturgls hoped to dcatroy Morgan before Armstrong's men reached the field and, leaving strong guards to hold the road agaiuat Arm­strong, threw hi* whole command, con­sisting of McCook's, Woolfonl's and Oarrard'a divisions, Into the fray near Fair tlardeii. .Campbell's brigade was roughly handled, but Colonel La Orange's brigade galloped to the scene snd best the Confederate troopers back until It reached an open field which was raked by the enemy's battery.

Halting his line under shelter, La Orange formed for a grand rush. A eolnmn of dismounted men advanced to within IftO yards of the battery, ami the Fourth Indiana cavalry charged forward In column of fours. Seeing the danger, the battery Umbered up snd moved back through the line of mount* ed supports, which opened right and left to make wsy for the guns. The Confederate supports outnumbered the Indhiiitans. but the Ifoosters were bent upon capturing the gun*. Two com pa iilcs dashed on after the fleeing bat-tery, and Major l«ee*!le wheeled four companies against the supports, who made s stsnd around Morgan's battle flag. This band was routed and the flag raptured, with many of Its defend er*. The gallant Lea*he. however, was killed In the charge.

Meanwhile the two com pa u lea over took the battery, sabered the drivers and stopped the running teams. Seeing the small f(>rv* of Federals with the guns, s battalion of Confederates turned, ami; advanced to recapture them, bis) the four companies of Indl anion* wbU|h hod fought with Major l.e**lle aw<jpt down itud drove the would be rfscuer* from the field, In this brisk tight at Fair Ogrden the ar­tillery divided honors with the wlelders or the sat»er> When the Fourth Indiana formed for Its charge upon Morgan's battery Captain Lilly of the Eighteenth Indiana battery brought his pieces within 500 yards of the hostile guns and opened furiously. One gun moved forward with the Charging party which cttpturcd the battery.

Campbell's brigade, having formed Its ranks sfter the first setback, moved forward on the right of La Orange to *np|H>rt his gsllsnt attack along the main roSd. This line was held up also by the crtemys battery, Campl>cll asked Lieutenant Miller of the Indiana battery whether he could get a gun to bear upon the enemy. "Yes, before the enemy csn load/' w s s the prompt re sponse. This gun went forwsrd s s the troopers advanced after the fleeing en etny and made some crack shots at the moving tsrget. One shot killed a Con federate driver, a mule and three horses; a second shot took off a gun wheel and cut In two a sponge stuff In the hsuds of a Confederate eaunoncer; a third went through a caisson.

It was dark when McCook's victor! ous troopers cleaned up the battlefield at Fair Garden. Having two fresh regiments at hand, McCook sent them sfter Morgsn's fleeing horsemen and prepared to drive them into the river next day. Meanwhile Armstrong's Confederates had crossed and taken a strong position in rear of Hturgls. Ijongstrect, supposing that Foster had marched his Infantry at the heels of Hturgls' cavalry up the river, accord-lug to the programme brought In by Confederate scouts, also crossed the Freuch Broad, taking along^Bushrod Johnston's division of Infantry. The Confederate leader rode l>oldly at the head of the colulinn nnd eipccted to find the Federals, In buttle with Arm strong, ftturgls, ou his part, looked for certain victory over Armstrong, who, he belleved, was cut off from Morgan and at his. mercy. The Federal leader boldly threw Woolford's division and 141 Orange's brigade Into actlou against Armstrong, but the fighting was barely begun when the scouts of Oarrard's division brought word to Kturgls that Confederate infantry hud been fording the Freuch Broad for nn hour, Armstrong's men had built rifle pits to strengthen their position, and Hturgls was lu danger of being cut off rrom his route back to Knoivllle.

Hturgls could only save himself by retreat and pressed the attack of Wool funis line to cover the withdrawal Longstreet, with his headquarter* flag and staff, rode out to Armstrong's front Just ss a band of Federal troopers broke through on a desperate charge. One lx>y In blue galloped Into 1-ong-

street's crowd, bent on capturing tne flag, fleeing thi reckless Yankee run­ning amuck. Colonel Fairfax, of Ix>ng-street's military family, put spurs to his horse and rode at the Intruder/ pistol In hand. Ilefore the trooper could level his gun th|e nimble Virginian cov­ered hlra snd sailed out ••Surrender!" Astonished at jbelng let off so easily when ou murdejr bent, the Yank drop­ped his carblnej and went to the rear as a Confederate trophy from the last dash at Pair Garden.

He Is engaged to 1*» married to Miss May Fjelfoft, the English munlc hall alnger.

"We first met In London about five years ago. That wns only a casual ne iiunintauce, but afterward I always looked lu the papers for his name when the fighting was on. I don't quite know why. 1 think because he seemed to me such a fine, manly man, HO bruvs and kind. And he tried to communt cute with me, but he could not find where I was.

TOUNQ man employed in nclty had not written home In lour months, not even to his mother. Ills mother reproached him bit

for his neglect; so did his sis-They lived lu the couutry on a and his letters were an event In

their lives. "Vou ought to he ashamed of yourself to treat your relatives like that," said a lady to him. "Well, I know I ought; at least I suppose I ought; but. you seo,"If* like thlB: I've been here in town three yeurs. I work as hard as I can and watch every opportunity to better myself honestly, and 1 really think I'm getting on. 1 need something cheerful and lightening to my life out of work hours. But, if you will believe me. In all the three years I've been here I've never once had a letter from home which did not contain bad news or doleful ond depressing thoughts that made me blue for days. It's got so I dread to open a letter with the home postmark upon I t Every Item of dls ease that afflicts any of the family, even to a toothache, Is poured Into me. Every letter Is full of moaning about |H>verty or the failure of crops, the quarrelsomeuess of thia or that neigh­bor, the dread of a mortgage on the farm, the creeping of age nnd helpless-tienM on my mother and father, the threatened blindness of old Great-un­tie Jehosuaphat. the fear that Brother Ne<t is taking to drink or that Bister Mary is going to marry that no account Tom Bradley. If there's nothing else there's a gathering up of all the scandal garbage In the county, nnd It's unload­ed on mo. I can't stand It any longer. Mother's letters are so doleful and mis­erable and full of anxious, graveyard forebodings that they almost make me laugh sometimes In spite of myself. That's the kind of stuff one's family In­flict* on ita members who are away from home. Never once anything cheer­ful or hopeful or encouraging from any of them. That'a why I stopped writing home."

The British house of lords has final!

haired women lawyers from the prac> tice of their profession In the tlnlte^ Kingdom. Because of their sex women ure fot-bidden to enter the legal profes­sion, says this house of musty old ob-stntctlonlsts. The house of lords Is the chief obstacle to the progress of both the new man and the new woman in England today. And yet siUy, lrratlor> ul young American women are falriy tumbling over one another to marry these arrogant, narrow minded, old fogy peers. It's a strange world.

• " : * H ;

One British noblewoman has recently visited the United Htates who msy well be patterned after by American women in the matter of unostentaUousness In dress, Hhe Is Lady Bodoty of the bluest of British blood, yet so gentlb mannered, so sweet voiced and so plain­ly dressed that except for her refine­ment and evident high breeding she might just be taken for anybody. At the opera In New York, where she was the guest of one of the richest *wometi in America, refined Lady Rodney wore a plain, simple, white silk gown, per­fectly tasteful, but wit hi almost no or­namentation, and she appeared without Jewels. The contrast between her s i n the overdressed, extravagantly orna-mcnUHl American women In the boxes about her Was something remarkable. People rcmemlH»red Lady Rodney her­self, not what she haAl ou.

•t at A thoroughly capable woman Is s&e

who can successfully manage children, dogs and hired people. ,

• * * . ' !

I) Id you observe what a row was raised In certain quarters when soma time since a young lady refused to be mar­ried by a ritual which makes the bride take a pledge to "obey" her husband? Hplendld, high spirited girl that, and she will make a noble wife, too, for her action shows she has a conscience In the matter of taking pledges and would not make any vow she did not expect to keep. Now let us have plenty more girls to follow her example.

l)h, l( men, especially preachers, could only see aud understand that the com­plete freeing of woman and her conse­quent mental and physical development would result In bringing the whole race to •uHlllke stature!

•t * Poets have the true vision. It was a

II\ lug truth Tennyson uttered when he vtiutc. "The woman's cause is man's. They rise or sink together, bond or f l ee / '

m n The silliest ambition a woman can

cherish Is that of trying to outstrip Aoiue other woman In the splendor of her dress, house and furniture, Ileaven have mercy on all such!

What does gorgeousness lu dress, house or furnlshments count In com­parison with the splendid physical beauty and strength, the undreamed of mental and spiritual development, now possible to the race and In a measure to every individual woman?

•t n • • ^

Ileinember this always: The Inferior position to which woman is relegated In both civil and ecclesiastical realms is a survival of the customs of the orient, whence Christianity took Its rise. The teachings of the Christ were the exact opposite of Indicating any Inferiority In woman, but the oriental parasite tacked Itself on to the rites and usages formulated for the Christian church centuries after the death of the Founder of Christianity. ,

Domestic science taught In all *u hools and universities attended by women, with college degrees for managers of households and general rceogultlou of the art of providing comforts and lux urles for the home, is the dream or u group of Chicago women. sa>s a thlca go dispatch.

These ladies say they do not wish to be looked upon ns extreme propagan­dists who would found conservatories of cookery where professors of pastry and doctors of doughnuts would ex IHPUnd theories, but they do dew ire to sbread the doctrine that women lu all grades of life ought to be learned In economics of the home—in the laws of hygiene as in the languages.

The foundation of national life, the home. Is declared to be in need of fos h'ling care. The danger Is said to be greatest in the so called educutcd classes "and among those who are striving to attain a false education whh-h they consider higher."

It is proposed to form an association of expert housekeepers who will take up the question of domestic science with public educators and enlarge the scoiie of the School of Domestic Arts and Hclences established In Chicago three years ago. The promoters of the association hope then to go beyoud the confines of the city and state and induce the great Institutions where feminine students p» to add to their curricula studies lu ehemlstry of foods, bacteriology and sanitation.

Particularly Is it designed to save from a life of tea drinking and scandal monger!ng the girl who comes out of school. In which home management and home occupations have found little place. Much a girl, while taught to de maud a reason for everything. Is In many cases intrusted with the conduct of s household where she Is given no reason for anything except usage. To the mind trained In the average uni­versity such nn occupation la not worth while, it Is too confining, and the pos­sessor of It too often turns to frivolities when she Is not abusing her servants to her neighbors.

The Chicago Woman's club as a body Is championing the movement, aud its president, Mrs.<'hnrles Henrotin, Is out­spoken in her advocacy. The club de­voted an afternoon recently to discus­sion Of the subject after listening to a paper by Mrs. Lynden Evans, who is the head of the Mcliool of Domestic Arts and Sciences. The fact that within the last few years the universities of Chi­cago, Wisconsin and Michigan had be­gun the teaching of chemistry of foods, bacteriology and kindred branches was hailed as a roost encouraging sign.

"I think domestic science should be taught In public and private schools," said Mrs. Henrotin. "This idea, which was frowued upon by most educators at first, has been gaining ground in tbe last two years. An active educational movement along these lines has been going ou in a quiet way, and now It has reached such proportions in Chicago that it is planned to take up the propo^ sltion with tbe board of education. This is not a fad, but a serious work along right lines."

"We have In the Untied States 15. 000,000 private homes," said Mrs. Kv ans. "It is a safe conclusion that every home must have some kind of a housekeeper. Add to these ltif<XX>,000 housekeepers 2,000,000 domestic work­ers, and we have at least 17,000,000 women engaged in homemaklng as against 3,000,000 in outside occupa tlone. Homcmaking, occupying as It does 17,000,000 women, who hold lu their hands the comfort of and health of so many other millions, has no place In our census, and the future student of these records may well suppose that only 5,000,000 out of the fM.000,000 of the sex were doing nothing. This labor of maintaining a household, rearing children and struggling with the serv­ant problem is considered worthy of no record. Why? Because the women who pursue it have belittled It, have failed to organise, classify, uplift.

"Our present educational system un fits the woman for her home life by lowering her ideal of the home, while it does not as a rule fit her for any­thing else that is useful. The absolute Incompetency of the average girl when she first comes from school Is only fully realised by the parent who trie* to fit her Into usefulness lu the home or the friend who seeks to find her em­ployment elsewhere."

A'SUBMARINE BOAT ESCAPE

T w o D o g s S t o o d t h e T e * t — T h e y W e r e S e n t T h r o n * * t h o T o r p e d o T u b e .

For some time there has been a feel­ing among naval men that If any act I dent should happen to a ruihimtrinc torpedo boat while In a submerged con dltion tho crew would be burled nllve. says a Newport special to the New York Tribune. The builders of I he boats have felt that there was an escape through the torpedo tube nt the bow, but to naval officers this did not seem feasible. ,

A test was made recently In the wn ters of Narragonsett bay, and it proved very satisfactory. In pluce of a man two large dogs were used for the test, and they Came out of the ordeal In as good condition as before It 1»cgaii.* The submarine Stark, under the command of Lieutenant Nelson, was sent In the bay and submerged, and the test was held. Orle at a time the dogs were placed lu tin* torpedo tiring tube and. with n wtsjileii wad behind I hem, were shot into the water. Much arose to the surface aud swam around as If nothing out of the ordinary had happened, sat Isfying all wlio witnessed the tent that the crew could esca|>e In a similar mau ner.

On one occasion he came pro­vided with two curious objects tied be­hind his ears. These excited the curi­osity of the company. Their purpose was soon disclosed, for whenever the conversation took a turn which did not interest him be pulled the things over hie, ears and so obtained silence with­in himself. He called them ear clips,

Health means everything, i In buying clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc., if the buyer is deceived and gets an imitation the only harm is loss of money. In buying food-products, if imitations are supplied, there is not only a loss of money but perhaps an injury to^ea l th^ which is beyondprice.

compiled the returns of the votes for members of assembly Isst November, which show that the Republican major­ity in £ * state was 27,047.

The actual Republican majority out­side of Greater New York is 112.535.

If the vote for Smith, Independent Republican In Fultou and Hamilton counties. Is added to that of Wood, the regular Republican candidate, and the normal Republican plurality of the Sec* ond assembly district of Jefferson coun­ty be taken, the result shows s msjority of 107.OM outside of Greater New York.

In 1HD8 the majority for Roosevelt outside of Greater New York was 102,-310, and In 1902 the^majority for Odell was 153389,

The showing Is very flattering td Re­publican prospects next fear, when tbe up state couutles can be relied upoo to increase materially the majorities which they gave last November, an off yejar with no state ticket In the field.
