^Striking Works of .Aj
tle-F
Wrttfin the last half dozen years
>creat futus of money have been ox
ponded by many States of the I'niou
tin the erection of memoria] mouu
<ruonts to their soldier dead on various
historic battlefields. The work is
still going on, and the Government is
doing much to help, $01,500 heing
,-given by Congress, recently in one
lump to pay for suitable cenotaphs in
'honor of regular armj organizations
Mjvhich fought at Gettysburg. Meau
wllilo the great lighting ground at
'Chickamauga, now a national park, is
/getting to he thickly sprinkled with
-works of art in imperishable granite
i*ud Ironrc, which record the deeds of
both Tuion and Confederate troops,
*tcd the same sort of patriotic enter
17/rUe is being manifested at Antic
, at Yicksburg, and at the fields of
;-3hiloh.
The Ccest monuments on any of
<our battlefields are now being put up
?tt ^icksburg. One of them, erected
'&y the -State of Illinois, at a coat of
.' $200,000, is of granite and bronxe.
Jit has the form of a temple, nearly
iir'ular, 48 feet in diameter at the
taase and 58 feet high, with a sort of
?porck upheld by columns. Another,
'<'. :7 Iowa, is equally beautiful in its
*Wft7, consisting of a half-circle of col
tjinoo, with elaborate decorations, in
eluding tablets. The fighting ground
v*t Vicksburg is on a blufl', 150 feet
.-bove the river, and its most striking
'feature topographically is a ridge on
which the Confederate works and bat
tteries were situated.
At Antietam, (Sharpsburg,) which
?ct,w the hardest day's fighting of the
(oivil war, 10,000 men being killed on
' both sides, all of the Northern States
?that were represented by troops are
erecting monuments. Not long ago
?Ohio dedicated ten such memorials to
her regiments, in one bunch on that
??old. Perhaps the most interesting
of them was a huge granite block with
-Li bronto tablet which represented, in j
'juasi-pictorial fashion, a boy making
coffee at a camp fire. The boy was
William McKinley, at that time 17
.-years old, who, finding nothing else so
useful for him to do, spont his time
during the battle in preparing a great
t quantity of the hot and stimulating
'beverage, so that it might bo ready
tfor the worn out soldier* after tbe
t?ght was over. It was typioal of his
Athoughtfulnes8 for others?a trait
?dominant in his oharaotcr through
t!ife.
The States have spent over $2,000,
cQOO for regimental monuments at Get
tysburg, where the work has been
fgoing on for twenty-five years. In
sanest instances where such a memo
trial was to be put up the State has
??ontributed a certain amount of money
rand the survivors of. the regiment
tiave furnished the balance. Origi
mall y the battlefield park at Gettys
burg was controlled by private indi
viduals, who bought pieces of land
i?nd ereoted shafts or other commemo
:ra.ti70 structures upon them; but all
*of this property has now passed into
the hands of the Government. Tbe
TOaoney recently appropriated by Con
isres? will go muoh further than an
equal amount expended by organiza
tions, because monuments, like any
thing else, are cheaper by the quan
tity. Furthermore, the Government
memorials are likely to bo better artis
tically and more tasteful, A special
commission will ehoose the designs,
au? the Seorotary of War. will give
j .final decision upon them.
j Xfbsta hundred and sixty Union

f structures sot up in honor of organi
zations of the regular army.
Most of the Government money haB
been used for the purchase of laud,
and the Chickamauga p<?rk now em
braces one patch of ten sijuarc milcB,
plus a number of smaller pieces,
which are connected together by road?
that have been ceded to Undo Sam
by the State. It is a particularly good
investment, inasmuch as tho field,
over which two armies of 00,000 men
fought, affords an admirable ground
for practice manoeuvres. As far as
practicable, the old roads used during
the battle have been preserved, and
in suitable places observation towers,
ascended bv spiral stairs, have been
put up. Moro thfcn 1,000 iron tablets
inscribed with historical data, mark
the positions occupied by Uaion and
Confederate regiments and brigades.
The landscape being wooded, the lines
of tho oppasing armies are shown by
tall masts attached to trees with red
and white and blue and white balls at
the top.
Along the lines thus laid out the
monuments ere erected by the States,
the Government furnishing (as 01
other fields) the foundations. Ne v
York has put up on Lookout Moun
tain u shaft 78 feet high with a brot zo
group 20 feet high on top of it, tL e
whole resting upon a circular base 52
feet in diameter. Ohio has furnished
fifty-six regimental and battery monu
ments, and, in addition, a mporb
granite shaft, costing $30,000, on
Missionary Ridge. The Bhaft 00 feet
in height, resembles the Washington
monument in miniature, and at the
corners of the base are four granite
statueB representing a oavalryman, an
infantryman, an artilleryman, and a
drummor-boy. Another superb me
morial on Missionary Ridge, marking
Gen. Bragg's headquarters, haB been
erected by Illinois at a cost of $22,
000. It is a granite shaft surmounted
by a bronze statue of Victory and
about the base arc statues represent
ing the throo arms of tho service.
Many States arc now putting up
monuments at Shiloh?particularly
Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Pennsyl
vania. The historio field is heavily
wooded, and runs along the pictures
que banks of the Tennessee River.
On this battlefield the spot whore any
brigade commander fell is marked with
cannon and piles of cannon balls. At
Chickamauga the same purpose is ac
complished by the erection in eaoh
case of a pyramid of ton-inch shells.
Wherever batteries were stationed on
ny of the battlefields, they are rep
resented by mounted guns, which,
whenever practicable, are the original
and veritable cannon that were en
gaged in the fights.
With the exoeption of Gettysburg,
all of the battlefield parks are very
new, and as yet they are far from com
plete. Presumably many years will
elapse b ?i -0 all of the monuments
oonsidereu requisite as memorials to
the soldier dead aro put up by patri
otic survivors. Meanwhile the work
is being aotively proseouted, and hun
dreds of thousands of Americans of a
younger generation, who visit the his
torio fighting grounds, are inspired
with a more ardent love of their coun
try and a moro eager desire to serve it
by contemplating the imperishable
structures whioh record the brave
deeds of those who in years gone by
fought for glory and for freedom.

Japanese Officer Tells About Great Na
val Battle.
A Japanese officer, who has return
ed to Sasebo, says a Tokio dispatch,
gives the following account of tho sea
fight off the Tsu Islands:
" At 5 30 Saturday morning a wire
less message reading: ' 'The enemy's
squadron is in sight/ roaohod the na
val base. This message was trans
mitted to all our ships by the flagship,
with orders to get ready for action.
Our squadron left their rendesvous
and headed for the eastern channel off
Tsuhima. Oar men seemed to be
filled with new inspiration and were
eager for the long-delayed fight to be
gin;
I * 'When Tsuhima was sighted to the
southwest the see was rough and the
torpedo boats were forced to run for
the . shelter of the island. Oar third
fighting squadron with the Takashibo
to port re?Onnoit?red the Russian
fleet, and at 11.30 a. m., informed the
main squadron by wireless telegraph
that the Russian ships were passing
into tho east channel, whereupon our
main equadroc-, ' anging its course
somewhat to the southward, oame in
sight of Okihshima at 1 o'clock in the
afternoon. The third division ar
rived later and joined the m?in cqu?d
ron. The first and s?o?nd divisions,
accompanied by the destroyer flotilla
ohahged to a Westerly course, while tbo
third division and the fourth de
stroyer flotilla headed slightly east
ward.
"During the maneouwe the Russian
flagship appeared to the southward at
1.45 o'clock. The Russians s.eamed
up in double column. The fleet was
numerous, but no living being was
visible. The Russian ships seemed
to be in good order. Our ships hoist
ed the flag of action, the Milasa sig
nalling 'the destiny of our empire de
pends upon thi.s action. You are all
! expected to do your utmost.' Our
men seemed to silently weigh the sig
nificance of his signal.
"Our first and second divisions
turned to the Russian starboard, while
the third division kept in close touch
with the preceding two divisions.
With the Japanese ships proceeding
in this Older, it was 2.12 o'clock when
the Russians opened fire. The first
two shots fell short of our line aod it
was Bomo minutes later before wo com
menced firing. ThcL' tbc battle was
on with firing from both sides. Our
destroyers kept on tho port side of
tho main squadron and in this forma
tion wo pressed the Russians 8gainst
the ooaBt of Kiushiu and they wore
obliged to change their course to the
east.
''We so manoeuvred our ships as to
have their bows paralleled to the north i
side of tho Russian line. The Mika?
sa, of our first division, which should
be leading, changed to the rear of the
lino, while the Kasuga headed the
line. The engagement now became
very fierce. The Borodino was seen
to be on fire. A little later the Rus
sians heads were turned and we
changed out course accordingly. Five
ships of ear second division concen
trated their fire on the Borodino. Our
Lrst division now began firing vigor
rusly, proceeding parallel with the
Russian line and as wo began to press
against tho head of the Russian lino
our division veered' to the Russian
rear, thus enveloping their ships.
"Tho engagement proceeded hotly.
Our second division followed a course
parallel with the northern side of the
Russians, and this movement com
pleted the envelopment. The Rus
sian ships were seen trying to break
through and our destroyer flotilla in
tercepted their new course. This
state of envelopment continued until
the following day,, with the ships at
varying distances.Thun enclosed on
all sides, the Russians were helpless
and powerless to escape the oycle.
Previous instructions had been given
the destroyers and torpedo boats to
attack the Russian ships. Following
instructions the fifth destroyer flotilla
advanced against a Russian ship upon
which our division had been concen
trating its fire, signalling: 'We are
going to give tho last thrust at them.'
"The Russian tship oontinued to
fight and seeing the approaching tor
pedo boats, directed its fire upon them.
Undaunted, our destroyers pressed
forward, tho Ohitose meantime con
tinuing its fire. When the torpedo
flotilla arrived within 200 metres of
the Russian ships the Shiranus fired
the first shot. The other boats fired
one shot each. The Shiranus re
ceived two shells, but the other boats
were not damaged* The Russian
ships were completely sunk.
"Sundown saw tho battle raging fu
riously. Our shells were evidently
telling oh the Ru?sians, who showed
signs of confusion. Our fifth torpedo
flotilla, after destroying the Borodino,
followed in the wake of our second di
vision, the signal reading 'something
like the Russian sub-marines have
been sighted. Attack them.V
"The flotilla followed and looated
the objoot which proved to be a sink
ing ship, its overturned bottom show
ing. Thirty survivors olnng to the
wreck, crying for assistance. Firing
ceased with the approach of darkness.
"According to orders previeusly
given for a torpedo attack after dark*
all the destroyer flotilla, dividing into
two squadrons, prooccdod to attack
tho Russians during the whole night.
The Russians frustrated the first and
eeoond attaoko with ?earohlights.^ A
third attempt was caref ully made and
the Yugiri sank a ship of the Boro*
dino type end also hit others. Dar
ing the night the Russians continued
to move and we preserved our envel
oping movement some distance from
the Russisn position. The Russian
ships headed northeast after day Weak,
hoping to reaoh Vladivostok. Oar
officers end men were determined that
not a ship should escape and resolved
netto relax their efforts until they
had succeeded in either sinking or
capturing every Russian ship.
"Our ships always kept ahead of |
the Russians. The battle wao resum
ed at 9 o'clock Sunday morning, 12
miles east of Chlpupyon hay and last
ed all day. Here the Kassians suffer
ed their heaviest losses. Thoy seem
ed unprepared to repel night attacks.
During our first night attack the Rus
Iths showed nine searchlights and
frustrated the attacks, but clearly
gave ub the location of the fleet, whioh
brought success later."

America and Japan.
It was decoration day in Washing
ton, that day that commemorated the
heroism and deeds of tho American
soldier. Men, women and children
thronged the street cars on their way
to the national cemeteries to lay floral
tokens upon tho graves of the soldier
dead; they talked of these things as
they chatted. On Pennsylvania
avenue, F streot and other streets
people were hurrying on their way to
meet engagements or to get out of the
city on early trains. A famous Amer
ican admiral stood at the corner of F
and Fourteenth streets talking with a
newspaper correspondent. They were
discussing the result of the naval light
in the Japan sea. As they talked
four young Japanese walked briskly
by. They ranged in age from 21 to
-? years of age. Quiet, undemonstra
tive, yet smiling and happy, they
stepped briskly up Fourteenth street.
They wore an air of confidence that
was noticeable to all. Tho old s.a
captain turned his head to watch
them.
"We'll havo to light them some day
before long" was his brief comment.
"Do you really think so?" he was
then aeked.
"Beyond all doubt. This victory
over Russia will, I am afraid, turn
the heads of the staid, conservative
Jap and he will go a good many steps
further than would otherwise have
been the ease. But our navy wouldn't
fear the outcome. The Japanese vic
tories at sea have been won by the
discipline and gunnery practice of
their navy. Russia's naval outfit is
notoriously corrupt. Millions spent
by the government for ammunition
havo been wasted in purchasing infe
rior goods that don't o^me up to the
mark and the difference in price goes
into the pockets of the drinking,
gambling officers. The Kussian sea
man is a brave maa but he has had no
discipline. His morals are bad and
he knows nothing of gunnery. Our
naval officers are not drunkards and
they are not corrupt. Our officers are
just aa quick witted as the Japanese
and our navy is as modern and as well
fitted. The Jap thinks quicker than
the Kussian, who is dull headed, as a
rule. That counts much in a sea
fight such as was had between the two
navies. Togo fell upon the Russians
in a rush and while their thiok heads
wore trying to decide upon the beat
course the nimble-wit ted Jap was
making the beet of tho situation. It
was like a prize fight in this country,
in which the winner pushes the fight
bo furiously from the start that the
other fellow is really never in it.
"I am afraid chat the ambition of
the Japanese will spread at a seriously
rapid rate and that they -may next
take some oteps in China that will
not meet with the good opinion of the
rest of tho world, whioh will then be
gin to open its eyes to the fact that it
has been plaoing its sympathy with a
mighty wary lot of people.*'?Wash

An East Side Interpretation.
A toucher in an East Side mission

Sunday she politely requested Tommy

DON'TS FOR LOVERS.
FOR THE GIRLS.
Don't Attempt to monopolize your
lover. Give him plenty of rope, but
bring him up with a short jerk once
in s while, just to let him know now
firm a hold you have of the other end.
Don't gush over him. Too much
sweetoess ologs the appetite. Always
let him go from you hungry to come
again.
Don't be a scold. If you have a
lover worth loving, and you love him,
don't be afraid or ashamed to let him
know that you love him; but don't
slop over.
Don't flirt with,other men. Most
men look on a flirt in much tho same
way that a baby dpes a rattle-box -
something to be played with and then
discarded. A fool is the only man
who knowingly will marry a flirt.
Don't quarrel. Quarrels are said to
be love's oondimeuts, but true love
has no more need of condiment than
has a piece ol lemon pie or salt and
pepper.
Don't attempt to measure tnc love
of your lover by the depth of his
poclcctboo!,, especially if he happens
to be a man whose only asset is a mod
erate salary. An extravagant wife
hangs like a millstone around a man;s
ncok. Tbe sensible man knows this,
and will out loose before it is too late.
Don't advertise your love to the
whole world. It is suffioient to con
vince the man most oonoerned.
Don't measure your lover with a
tailor's yardstiok. It is the man in
the olothes, and not the olothes on the
man, that you are to marry.
Don't idealize your lover. He
probably is neither better nor worse
than a million other men, and your
loving him will not make an angel of
him.
Don't forget >.iat modesty at all
times and in all places is love's most
sacred crown. Don't tarnish that
crown.
Don't imagine because your lover
tells you that you are the. most beau
tiful woman in the world that he is
telling the truth. Love in blind, and
never more blind than when estimat
ing the charms of his beloved.
Don't expect your lover to be a
saint. Few men are.
Don't let your love blind yon to */.ll
the rest of the world. When in love
you need see / i oa are doing
even more clearly than when you are
not in iove.
Don't love where reason cannot join
hands with the heart.
Don't marry a man to reform him.
Reform him before marrying, and be
sore th&fc; the reform goes clear down
to the everlasting bed rook. A girl is*|
a fool who thinks that a man will do
for her after marriage what he. cannot
or will not do before. When a bird
is iu a cage, who longer fears its
wicgB?
Finally, don't forget that love is the
sweetest and most blessed gift of God
to mortals, and that it should be kept
pure and white, free from last and
avarice and sordid fcmbition,- for the
god of love is e jealous god, and gives
to drink of the blessed wine of his
rich vintage of happiness only to those
who worship at his shrine truly end
unselfishly.
FOR. THE MAN.
Don't Visit your' sweetheart oftener
than three times a week. Give her a
chance to misd you.
Don't attempt to buy her love with I
costly presents, theaters, flowers, bon* j
bons, etc You wish her to love you,
not your pooketbook.
Don't be stingy. Give freely what
you can afford to give, and no more;
and if she is the right kind of girl she I
will understand and appreciate you.all j
the better.*
Don't think thatyou own;thei girl
the moment you becomo engaged to
"There's many a slip 'twixt t-WMg
and the Hp." Besides, modern girls
do hot like to be "owned," even by
the men they love.
Don't forgot to make e treaty of
peace with your aweethecrt'e -oimall
brother or sister. A little bandy end
a few dimes judiciously bestowed will
win you an ally whoao value is out of
all proportion to sise? That lover
may Welt tremble 1er his cause who
has not won the friendship of the
small brother or sister. ;
Don't be jealous of another man's
attentions to your sweetheart. If she
encourages them u?duly she is un
worthy of you:; Drop her I If he gets
no encouragement from her, yoqi have
nothing to fear. Rejoice! If other
mon find yoar a*ecthe&rfcaWr&otive it
la-tV do&p-iraent to yonr good*ssto:
Be gtsol
Don** forget te is!! y^^wSw-c^ft
at least a dozen times every time yon
seo her that youlove her. A women
is never tired of bearing Ae words 1*I
love yon** from the lips that she loves.
Don't when attending ft social gath
ering, stick to tho side of your beloved
all the time. Give other men a chance
talk to her and yourself fe chance to
talk to > Jh.tff ??r.&.. Return to her
of t?n ; and tih'us show her the strength
of ? luve'thai will constantly draw you
biot to her side
Wpptpkj''.when you-call, to -f.ee your
sweetheart, and her father and mother
persist in sitting op with yon, sot as
if their company bored yon. You
may wish them burisd seven miles
under the Dead Sea; bat don't let
them know it. Treat them with the
most deferential politeness; an if they
wore tho only father and mother in
the universe?and trust to your sweet
heart.
Don't be one of those knowing men
who think they understand woman
kind. Only Omnisoienoe oan compre
hend a womam- You know just about
as muoh about your sweetheart, as you
do about what the weather will be
next April. Don't try to oomprehend
her. Love her; and thank G od she is
no worse.
Don't expeot'your sweetheart to be
an angel. She is not; and if she was,
she would bo altogether too good for
you.
Don't fall in love with a beautiful
form and? face. Love should look
deeper than the skin and bones. God
sometimes puts a beautiful soul be
hind a homely faoe; and conversely.
Better be dead than wedded to a wo
man who has nothing besides beauty.
Finally, don't be in a hurry to mar
ry. Look long and well before you
leap; for heaven alono knows in what
troubled waters you will find yourseif
struggling.?-Everett McNeil, in St.
