IFTY years ago the 13th of Sep­tember General

J *\_rt Scott won the de-*»S> citiyo battle of

his campaign to the City of Mex­ico. That day part of his army

*"•> r y ^ l ^ I -i stormed and cap-fBUm^f'"^ tnred the castle

of Oh npnl tepee, a seemingly im­pregnable for-treat overlooking the city. The Mexican position

at OhApnltepaa waa the key to the city. Simla Anna, the Mexloau leader, had 16,000 soldiers In his army of defense, ao there could have been no lack of men to gsrrison a citadel ao Important

Nature had done much to moke the position strong. The hill is an isolated rook, with steep, precipitins sides on the north, asst and south. Its height is 109 feet The castle, with wings, bas­tions, parapets, redoubts and batteriea, Afl of heavy stonework, presented a front 1,600 feet in length. At the time of the battle there were two atone walls, strcugly built and from 9 to 14 feet fn height, surrounding the fortreea.

One of the outworks of Ohapultepee eonalatad of a- group of hoavy stone buildings known as HI Molinoa del Rey (Mills of the King). Scott believed that the mills contained the- powder maga-aineand ammunition stores of tbeMexi-oana, and also thought that It waa the key to Ohapttltepeo itself, and had or­dered It to be carried by storm on the 8th of September. This had been ac­complished by a bold dash in which the storming partlea lost heavily. It turned out that the mills were under the Mexi­can guns of the castle and the place could not be held. It was promptly abandoned, and Scott turned his atten­tion to the City of Mexico, intending to force the passage by an immediate and direct attack. The chief officers of the troops and the cngiueers were called together In an iuforntal council to dle-eusa the beat mode of advance With the single exception of Beauregard, who waa a captain of engineers, the leaders favored an attack npou the city'a gates by passing around Ohapultcpec. ' After listening to the statements of all of those present, General Scott said, "Oen-tlemen, we will attack Ohapnltepec flrat, then look to the gates." Tho word waa given out in the campa that Ob a pultepec mnst be stormted. Yoionteer partlea of 900 men each were offered the place of honor In advance. Notwith­standing the frightful death list made at the storm rag of El Molinoa del Rey, the soldiers were eager to renew the attack. So many volunteered for the storming parties that the choice waa Anally made by lot , Tha divisions aasighed to the attack were led by Generala J, A. (Juitman and Gideon J. Pillow. The storming partlea of 2)60 men ea^h took position In front of the divisions. The whole column waa led by skirmishers com posed of a battalion of voltlgeura, and foot riflemen. The commander of this battalion was Colonel Joseph & John eton* When the signal sounded for the advance, Johnston'a men led off on a run, he having received orders to force an entrance through the immense wall Inclosing the castle park. Under the excitement which followed the skir­mishers ran far ahead and kept the lead throughout the battle. In the face of a steady fire from the walls the voltlgeura deployed and turned their rifles upon the Mexloans along the parapet

In a few miimtos tbe enemy broke from the wull and ran across the park to a line of lutrenchmeuta iu the rear. The voltlgeura kept close at tho heels of the Mexicans, Johnston leading them In their reckless run. The flag of hla battalion was tbe first American banner planted upon tbe outer walls. Johnston waa already wounded, but he advanced hla men acmes the park to the rear gates to cutoff a portion of the garrison from retreat This feat waa aeoom* plished in the face ot a sharp aud dead* ly fire borne upon the voltigeors from the terraoe of tho park in their rear..

Meanwhile the heavy infantry col­umns and batteliona of Qnltman and Pillow had advanced and aeised the ground cleared by the skirmishers. The ground over which the columns marched had been under mi nod and planted with explosives to be fired wheu the advance of the Amerlcaus could be staid in no other way. The trahl of powder leading mrom the citadel to the mines was dis­covered by Private William A. Gray of Johnston's com in and and destroyed, thus rendering tho mines nsnless. Home of tho Mexican aoldinrt bad bcrni in­structed to fire the mines should their advance line retreat past them, but these soldiers were shot down by the skirmishers before they coo Id apply the torch.

Pillow was woandad early In the fight and hla column was brought to a halt In front of a heavy Mexican redoubt soon after Jt patted the mines. The guus of the cattle far up on the nam mi t thun­dered furioatly agaiutt PUlow's meu, but as the soldiers were close to tho base of tbe hill many shots went over tho mark.

At the redoubt the contest was more equal. The obstacle stood directly iu the pathway. This was carried by a quick dash inspired and led by Captaiu Cbaes of the Fifteenth infantry. Chase's company was iu tho advance Hue, and wheu it reached the face of tbe redoubt he promptly led it forward pout the right flank. Another company of the Fifteenth regiment followed Chase's, and tho whole of the Ninth regiment brought up the rear. Beset upon their front anil flank, th« Mexicans who wore packed in the redonbt abttudoned the work and fell back toward the castle. Pillow's meu kept clos* to tho heels of the fugitives from tho redoubt, and when the latter reached the gates thidr comradea admitbd them and withheld their Are from tho pumuors for fear of hitting friends. Iu "this way Pillow's men gained shelter under the walls c*t the cast l a

The ladders which the storming par­tlea carried forward were quickly placed In position, aud the excited Americana made a rush for the top. Some were shot from the ladders and others were killed after mounting the wall. After several ofUcert hail been, shot from the lad dors the Americau banner was plant­ed upou llie wall in the full face of the etieiny. Seeing that, the Mexicaus lost heart and threw down their amis. The fight went on !n*ido the iuclosure. The Mexienns expected no qnarter after tha slaughter of El Molineadel Rej. They

received none until tne infnriated Amer­icans had appeased their wrath and yielded to better nature and the en­treaties of tbf ir officers.

Quitman's column ninde an equally rapid bnt less bloody conquest of tho southeast corner of the rnHtlo inclostirc, some hundred yards distant from the soeuo of Pillow** attack. Pillow as­saulted tho west wall ami Quitman the southeast corner. Tho ground iu front of Quitman was comparatively level, bat was cut up by ravines aud well de-feuded by infautry and batteries. The leaders of the storming columns were shot down, but tbe gallant soldiers went forward to the trenches and bat­teriea.

By a bold dash the New Yorkers, South Carolinians and Pennsylvania, volunteers led by General Shields and Colonel John W. Geary made a lodg­ment under the walla. While forming column for heavy assault at this point the Americana weto surprised by a rush of the Mexicans in that direction to es­cape the fury of Pillow's nun, who had crossed tho western wall. Finding themselves between two (Ires, the Mexi­cans gave up tho fight Then the united oolurans of Pillow and Quitman stormed the castle itself.

The garrison of the castle consisted of notional guards mid a body of cadets belonging to a college established in the cast la An American who took part in tho fight described the cadets as "pretty little fellows from 10 to 10 years of age." He added that thciy struggled like demons, bat it was nselcss; the en­raged assailants bayoneted man and boy alike.

While fighting was still going on around tbe base of tho hill General Scott mounted to tho dome of tho castlo to get A View of tho city and its ap­proaches. From there ho directed his columns upon tbe several gates which remained to be forced after the fall of Ohaptltepeo.

The City of Mexico fell under Scott's bold attack. Scott struck tho keynote \ of the onnjpaigu when bo said, throw­ing all other suggestions asido, "We Will attack Chopultepeo first" Hit men were inspired by the very thought, and tho Mexicans were paralzyod at the spectado of such great gallautry.

Oflloorrf aud men iu tho American ranks boro themselves with the most glorious courage. * Over 60 of the noted leaders of the civil wur wcro hrevetted for personal heroism nt C ha pultepec. Among tho army commanders were Grant, IJCO, McClolluu. Joseph E. Johnston, H ton own 11 Jackson, "Fight­ing Joe" Hooker and Bwiurcgard. Long-street and Pickett and Arruifltoad were In the front rank of heroes at Chapulte-pee. Silas Caficy led a storming column. Robert Audemcn wns there and the gal-

Every form of heroism was displayed by these officers at Chapultepeo, charging can­non, running their cannon up to the muisles of tho Mexicans' pieces, carry­ing orders nnder fire, scaling,tho ene­my's walls aud risking life to inspire their men to exalted deeds of courage.

Thomas Cook, who has been a miner for nineteen years, and la among thoae who came down on the Excelsior after making a lucky strike on the Klon­dike, prepared at the request of the Examiner the following approximate estimate of tbe requirements of a Yu­kon miner for one year. Theae figures are on the side of conservatism, aa they are based on his own experience, and he admits that he is rather below than above the average. The prices quoted, except in the case of such arti­cles as mocca8iua, mittens and the "Parkee," which are obtainable In Alaska and tho Yukon country of the Northwest, are about current rates In

Mr. Cook warns any man against the folly of going to the mines without at least as good a stock as is enumerated here. His advice is: "Get plenty of staples and get tho best clothes ob­tainable of the kind named."

STAtUE OF LINCOLN. "~ the Presidency of the United States.' It is full of alertness and vitality and represents Lincoln the boy. He is sit­ting in an attitude of contemplation, his book in his lap. and his ax resting against his knee. His costumo is that of a backwoodsman, as the artist un­derstood It. The head IB finely mod­eled and the face is full of character. There Is no mistaking It for any other than that of the boy Lincoln, yet Cac-cla has so put the great character of Lincoln Into It that tho rugged feat­ures are beautiful.

A SMALL MAN'S REVENGE.

l i e Bafllet tf»* i n a n i t y o f T w o W o m e n

In a Cable Car.

The small t lzed, unobtrusive man gets revenge now and then, as was ex­emplified yesterday in a Broadway cable car bound down town'. He got on at Twenty-third street and saw only one vacant seat. Other passengers who stood up were cl inging to the straps in a semi-hypnotic condition and did not observe the vacant place. Two women, strangers to each other, richly clad and wearing diamond ear­rings, were the guardians of tho va­cant place, which was hardly wide enough to even admit the small man to a comfortable seat. Either of tho women, by moving a little, could havo made a larger space, but they chose to sit as Impassive as statues while tht diminutive man crowded Into the place. He exhibited all the s igns of being un­comfortable, but these implacable cos­mopolitans moved not. At Tenth street a large woman, weighing about 200 pounds, boarded the car. With the air of a Chesterfield the small man lifted his hat and said:

"Pray, take my seat." "Thank you, sir, she replied, as she

started to sit down. Consternation was depicted upon the faces of the two richly clad women as they tried to edge away to make the space wider. It was too late, for the heavy woman crushed Into the seat and came in con­tact with the other women. Thero was the noise of crumpling cloth, and the swish of skirts as the two women tried to move from the weight pinning part of their dresses down. It was a scramble to give the heavy woman enough room and all dignity was lost. The passengers smiled, and none moro so than the small man, who had had his revenge.

Ambulaar* €lta*em la HI. Leuie. There aro about half a dozen men

In this city who make a living in rather a peculiar manner. They have come to be known as "ambulance chasers," and one or more of them can bo found on the sceno of almost every accident.

The occupation of trie "ambulance chaser" is rather a new one. although the methods be usos have been used to gain the same ends for years back. The "ambulance chaser" Is in the em­ploy of some lawyer who makes a specialty of handling damage suits.

When an accident of any sort hap­pens the "ambulance chaser" is right to the front In the crowd which gathers. He geta tho name and ad­dress of the person who Is injured, or if the victim is so badly Injured (hat be cannot give his name and address the lawyer's agont follows tho am­bulance to the dispensary, where, he usually finds a way to learn what he wishes.

In a few days he calls on the person who was injured and explains to him what a good case he has If he will sue for damages. If the injured person has not sufficient means to prosecute tho suit or shows a disinclination to do so. the "chaser" gets in his fine work and offers to find an attorney who will take up the cose and carry It through to completion for a percentage of the amount gained as damages. AH this at no cost to the plaintiff, for if the suit is lost tho lawyer gets no pay. The smooth "chaser" usually succeeds In getting the case on these terms.— St. Louis Republic.

A Camel Fo«r-ln-If»n«!. ' The awkward camel has become a competitor of the coach horse. Eng­l ishmen have taught him his new roles and In India he can now be soon any day, four of him, humping himself In front of a regulation mall coach. It Is a curious fact that tho English army waa the first to find out what might be termed civilized occupations for beasts whom nature apparently never Intended to play the roles they have been taught to assume. The elephant artillery is a feature of the English army, and now they have a camel four-in-hand, Almost every one nowadays has seen a camel. One who has ever viewed the great, ungainly beast would at first ridicule the Idea of supplanting the stout wheelers and the equally at­tractive leaders with an animal of that sort. The first experiment was tried about a month ago In Calcutta, and it proved a complete success. The wheel camels are attached to the tongue of the mall coach in the same manner that the horses were wont to be. Upon the back of each of the wheelers Is perched a regulation camel driver seated In a saddle. The riders or drivers sit upon their respective steed* In the same way as did tho post boys of old tavern days, and that Is the way the wheelers look when they are In trim for a Journey.

MEXICO'S SILVER SEESAW.

Consul Goneral Donnelly at Nnevo Laredo, Mexico, reports to tbo depart­ment of state: "I have tbe honor to re­port a marked rise in tbe price of all commodities in Mexico as tbe result of

tho recent fall in the price of silver. This was to bo expected of imported goods, but domestic products aud even rents have risen. There have been no corresponding advances, however, in wages or salaries. Labor stays on its eilver b a s i s / '

Vrompmritf and Currrnoy Reform.

Commenting upon the favorable ef­fects of the rise iu wheat aud the col­lapse of free silver theories Tho Finan­cial Chronicle says: "With all tho man­ifest advantages arising from this re­markable situation there is one serions danger. Our currency system has been tried and found deplorably wanting. Its friend* affirm that the curroncy trou­bles during tho past seven years havo heen a result of financial and industrial distress. This, from one point of view, is true, but jieople who accept this as a conclusive answer strangely overlook the fact that such a result is the most serious indictment of the syttem.

"When all commercial conditions unite to favor a country's Indus trios, it may with impunity tuke large risks and outer on dangerous experiments. F iat money seemed to be no bar to our pros­perity iu tho early seventies. Tbe Bland silver coinage law was bnsiiy at work iu 187" and 1880, yet it had, so far as any observer could discover at the time, no especially baleful influence on the country's prosperity. In the fall of 1891 thi>re were plenty of political oraeles to point out tho fact that good times were returning in the face of tbo silver pur­chase act of 1890.

" B u t what value is to be seriously put on currency systems good only for favorable, t imes in trade? What, for in­stance, would tbo world have said of tho English currency system if i t had satisfied everyIxxly in the smooth tail* Itigof 1888 und 1889 and then collapaed into general discredit daring the storm of 1890? If it is true that we need the surest and most invulnerable currency in tho world to sun tain our industries through these periodical storms which twoep over an industrial community then it w i l l reasonably bo admitted that the preparation for snch a system mnst bo mado before tho emergency arises.

"If wo aro to pass in the future through other years of commercial dis­tress—and nobody is so great an opti­mist as to arguo that trade reactions are gone forever—wo surely ought, as an intel l igent people, to provide thai iujruch an event our whole system of public and private finance, government and individual credit, need not bo swept down simultaneously. Tho t ime to place our own currency on a sound and stable footing is tho immediate fntura, whi le our industries ure sti l l feeling tho im­pulse of this year's favorable accident of nature, along with the discovery of what our own productive possibilities actually aro,

"Wo havo sufficient faith in tbe pres­ent treasury administration to believe that a first move wi l l be mado in snch dticcl iou before this year is over ."

Seventeen years after that catastrophe tho average had increased to $184. That is, tho wage earner of 1890 got 68 per cent more than did the wago earner of 1800.

Society and educational circles IU Poughkeepsle were astonished by tbe announcement In a local paper that one of the graduating claaa of Vaster College, this year waa a colored girl, who, concealing her race, entered the college, took the four years* oouree and, finally, confessed the truth to a profeaaor a few dayt before comibeoce-ment

The facts were communicated to the faculty, which body in secret session decided to allow the girl, who is Mlsa Annita Hemming of Boston, to re­ceive her diploma with her claaa.

Vaster Is noted for Its exclusiveueea, and every official of the college refuses to say aught regarding this girl gradu­ate. She has been known aa one of tht most beautiful young women who ever attended the great institution of learn

ANNITA HEMMING,

Ing, and women wbo received her te their homes aa their equal do not deny her beauty. At the reception, on Founder's day, Philadelphia day and the other holidays of the college year none of the fair students waa more eagerly sought by the men from Yale, Harvard and the other universities who attended theae eventa.

Her fellowHttudents called her "the beautiful brunette." Her manners were thoae of a person of gentle birth, and her Intelligence and ability were recognised alike by her claatmatea and profeaaora. Her tkin waa dark, but not swarthy. Her hair waa black, but straight aa an Indian's, and the usual­ly gathered It in a knot at the back of her head. Her eyea were coal black and of piercing brilliancy.

In bar senior year tha statements this beautiful dark young woman made about her relatives—their style of liv­ing, the splendor of her home, A c -prompted her poomate, who already had her suspicions aroused by goetlp, to repeat them to her father, a well-known buslneas man.

He caused Inquiries to be made about the pretty brunette's family in her na­tive town. The Investigation failed to find the culture and wealth and fam­ily name of which she boasted. Tbe name waa tbe same, but the family waa that of a respectable colored man who owned a einall estate. The bru­nette beauty a few days later lost her roommate, upon the advice of the let­ter's father.

Thit incident added to tbe goetlp In the college, and a few dayt before com­mencement the whisperings of her claatmatea reached the colored girl's ears. She waa heartbroken to learn that her secret was suspected, perhaps known. Going to one of the profes­sors she bravely told everything.

The kind-hearted profeaaor, a wo­man, wiped away the girl's tears and spoke words of encouragement telling her there is nothing In the college rules that prohibits a colored woman from entering Vasear.

On class day and commencement the young woman took a prominent part in the exercises, and of all the hundred or more girls in the class ot *97 none looked more attractive or acted more becomingly than thit girl of negro birth.

With the knowledge' gained during thoae four years Mlsa Annita Hem­ming ia particularly well-equipped for her duties in the Boston Public Li­brary where ahe is now employed. She would attract attention anywhere. Her clear, olive complexion and her straight black hair would lead to the belief that the It younger than her twenty-seven year*.

Annita waa a pupil In tbe Prince Grammar School She graduated In 1SS8. Going to the* English High School, she took the full course. Then a wealthy woman of tbe Back Bay who Is a member of Trinity Church be­came interested by her beauty 'and in­telligence and aent her to Dwlght L Moody's Northfleld school.

At Northfleld Annita prepared for Vaaaar, and there she was the rood-mate of Mias Beetle Baker, who Is now the wife of Lawyer Lewis.

A W o m a n 1'ndar Ftra. A woman who carries the acar of a

gunshot wound received while on duty on the field of battle is certainly not often heard of or even read about, says the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. But there is a woman of Cincinnati with such tvnoble and remarkable rec­ord, and her wound was received dur­ing the war of the rebellion.

In 1861 Second Lieutenant Dick—her husband—-left for the war, and soon afterward she followed him to the front for the purpose of succoring the sick and wounded soldiers, aa weQ aa to be at the side of her husband.

She was a few yards only from her husband at Chancellortvilie when be fell, hit side crushed by a flying piece of shell. He waa unconscious from tho first, but she thinks he recognised her at once. While removing her husband from the field, asalsted by tender, will­ing hands of comrrdes, Mrs, Dick waa wounded. A spent musket bal( struck her jutt above the ankle of the left leg, burying Itself In the flesh and between two bones.

Mrs. Dick would Pot stop to have the wound examined, i ut assisted in the removal of her husband acroee the pontoon bridge. Indeed, ao great waa her distress of mind over the condition of her husband that she scarcely felt the pain. Twelve hours after recelv* the wound Capt. Dick died In her arms.
