MR. GLADSTONE'S LAST PUBLIC ADDRESS, Speaking In Liverpool two rears ago, h the Armenians. THE SIXTH MASSACHUSETTS. Famous Bcelment'a Second March Through Baltimore. Times change and men change with them. This truth Is recalled, by the reception accorded the Sixth Massa chusetts Eeglment In Baltimore while on Its way to the encaouijment in Falls Church, Va,, to aid In crushing Spain. This greeting was splendid In concep tion and carrying out and reflects great credit upon the Baltlmoreaus who left nothing undone that could contrllTute to the glorification of the Bay State soldiery while within the confines of Maryland's great city. In marked con trast to this was the reception given to the same regiment In the same city on j April in, lstii, while oo Its way to Washington. Then the command was set upon by a mob numbering tlxn sands, and before the regiment cut Its way through the infuriated multitude five soldiers were killed and twenty four wounded. The number of dead and wounded In the assaulting column was never correctly ascertained, but from the most authentic sources nt least thirty were killed and more than 100 wounded. The fight was desperate for more than ft mile and the volleys of the soldiers were given wtth the mu zles of their guns within a few feet of those wno disputed their passage. This assault made the regiment famous, as it was the first blood shed in the civil conflict The commander, Edward P. Jones, scented an uprising In January, 1801, and bad his companies, chiefly from boston, ready weeks before the firing on Port Sumter. As soon as President Lincoln Issued the call for 75,000 men Jones had the Sixth In motion and had the honor of leading the first regiment down Broadway, New York, for the SECOND MARCH OF 0111 MASSACHUSETTS THROUGH BALTIMORE. seat of war. The New Yorkers gave the troops an uproarious welcome. As soon as It was learned they were to go through Baltimore the people of that city became very Indignant and proposed to forcibly prevent It At Philadelphia the frowning attitude of the Monumental City was communi cated to the soldiers en route, whose good time was suddenly lnternrpted by the order to load their guns with ball cartridge. This meant an ugly recep tion. . The troops arrived In the hostile city In a crowded station filled with angry men who hurled execrations at tle ar riving soldiery. Finding this did not provokea quarrel, as the Sixth emerged Into the street a fusilade was begun, and soon the air was filled wtth flying missiles hurled at the Invaders. Sev end were struck and then the regiment turned and faced Its assailants. This did not deter the unorganized foe and the command was given to fire. When the smoke lifted several of the dead and dying rioters were stretched on the ground and a panic-stricken mob was bunting a place of safety. A running fight was kept up until the regiment reached the depot on the other side of the city, when it was found that five of the members had been shot to death and many wounded. The ride to Wash ington was without Interruption. The bodies of the dead soldiers were con veyed to their homes and a great fu neral procession took place In Boston. A noble monument to their memory la erected on one of the main streets In Worcester, where most of the killed were from. Th assault embittered the Balti- e denounced the TutkIsu crusade against moreana and led to a general arming of the men and boys, wtoo threatened to massacre any Northern troops that should attempt the march through their city. The public mind became so Inflamed that the Mayor pleaded with President Lincoln to withhold his as sent to having any more regiments pass through, as It might lead to the destruction of the city. The order was secured and Washing ton, for some time after, was reached by Northern regiments going around by way of Annapolis and avoiding Bal timore. It was several weeks before Baltimore cooled dorvn sufficiently to permit Union soldiers to march unmo lested through her streets. Long ago Boston and Baltimore made up for this scrimmage and have been the best friends since, and It was at the request of the Marylanders that the Sixth Eeglment, equipped for servioe against a foreign foe, be invited to tread the streets where her march was so rudely disturbed thirty -seven years ago. The Invitation was promptly ac cepted by GoL Woodward and his men. When the regiment arrived there It rivet with a magnificent welcome. For four hours thousands hung around the Mount Royal station awaiting the sol utres. When they did arrive 20,000 peo ple were massed In the square and a great shout went up as the Boston boys left the train. A delegation of 200 of the leading citizens beaded by Mayor Malster met the troops. The Mayor In words touching and tender addressed the Sixth, and bade them God -speed on their Journey, and then presented a floral shield In the shape of a large bas ket of choice flowers. Across the face of the floral shield was the inscription In violets: "Maryland and Massachusetts," On streamers extending from the Ixtsket were the Inscriptions: "Baltimore wel comes the Sixth Massachusetts;" "Flowers, Not Bullets f "God Bless You and Bring You Safely Home," "Maryland Honors Massachusetts, May 21. 1S98." OoL Woodward made an elo quent address for the visitors, and as he concluded three cheers and a tiger were given for the Sixth which could have been heard a mile away. Derivation of the Word Klondike. "The River Trip to the Klondike" Is the title of an article by John Sidney Webb In the Century. Mr. Webb says: "From Dawson the trail to the mines leads over a steep hill to the creek made so famous by its tributaries; for there Is not a single mine on the prin cipal stream, which In the miners' slang Is called Klondike, And yet this stream does In reality liear a charac teristic name given It by the Indians, which is utterly murdered by this pronunciation, now so common. "The Indians name " the creeks throughout the country from some characteristic hi connection with the stream Itself; and as this one Is so swift that In order to set their salmon traps or nets they were obliged to use a hammer to drive the stakes to an chor them, the creek was named by them Hammer Creek, or, In their lan guage, phonetically, Troan Dlk. The spelling Klondike means absolutely nothing, but has been accepted, so I learn, by the Board of Geographical Namea of the United States." Active and Passive.

Miles, wife of thi commander of the United States army, Is one of the most attractive and hos pitable women In Washington, and deeply interested In every move that Is made by the American army. She has always taken an Interest In fighting since she has been a soldier's wife. Years ago when the general was only Col. Miles, in command of the Presidio In San Francisco, he and Mrs. Miles were called the handsomest couple In MRS. MIT.E8. the army." Mrs. Miles has not lost much of that charm that made her the goddess of every young fellow from West Point in her young days In Cali fornia. She was Mary Sherman before her marriage. Her father was Judge Sherman, a brother of the Senator and the General. Her hair is dark and abundant her eyes are a grayish blue and her manners are winning. She Is as kind and attentive to the wife of a second lieutenant as to the wife of a brigadier general, and that la why 6he has ever been popular, no matter where stationed. Mrs, Miles accompanied the General on his trip to Europe lust year. She accompanied him, too on some of his expeditions against the Indians, and was often within sound of the jhootlng. WHAT MAKES IT GO? Whirligig that Has Baffled Scientists of International Hepute. Fold a piece of paper as shown In the cut and balance It on a needle forced Into a cork. If you place your opeD right hand by the side of the apparatus, with the palm as near to the paper as can be without actually touching it, and with the fingers slightly curved In ward, the vane, after one or two prelim inary wriggles, will begin to revolve: slowly from right to left If the left hand be employed in the same way it will, on the contrary, move from left to right The vane will continue to re volve thus foT a greater or less length of time, when It will again oscillate and finally stop. Plenty of explanations have been given to account for the mo MYSTERIOUS WHIRLIGIG, tlon, but none Is as all satisfactory. It is a puzzle that has baffled scientists of International repute. What makes the whirligig go? Reformed by a New Pavement. Bill Smith lives tar beyond King's highway. He has lived In that sec tion since the time It was composed of cornfields and cow pastures. For thirty years he has been a habitual drunkard. ' Bill Smith quit drinking Intoxicating liouors recently. At first nobody no ticed his reform. Finally, everybody became surprised when they stopped to think that Bill Smith had been so ber for many weeks, and was attend ing strictly to business, just as if he had never toyed with a bottle In all his Ufa "What's the matter with old Bill Smith? Has he reformed? He has been sober for a month now," said one citizen to another the other day. "Don't you know what's the matter? Bill Smith had to quit drinking," re plied the second citizen. "Did the doctors tell him he had to quit?" asked the first citizen. "No. Thirty years ago, and up to the last year, Bill Smtb could get drunk and roll In the soft mud any where west of King's highway; but re cently granitoid sidewalks were put down In his locality, and Smith went home drunk live nights in succession, and each night he had a new bump the size of a hen's egg on his head.

A new type of iceboat constructed on a novel principle has just been launch ed in England. One propeller is ar ranged aft in the usual manner, and another, though smaller one, is located at the bow of the buat. This propel ler, by giving to the water under the ice high sternward velocity, and thus creating a partial vacuum, deprives the ice of its support and reduces its resistance to crushing, so that the ad vancing how of the vessel, which is ar ranged with suitable overhang, cuts its way into the uueuppnrted ice with out experiencing either the shock or resistance to -which former types of the ice breakers were constantly ex posed.
