SMALL BQDIES. HAVE-DEFEND.
ED DESPERATE POSITIONS, t
The Siege of the Alamo The Ancient
World Had One! Thenn0pylae7 the
'Modern 'Has a Score. "
The history I America shows more
than one instance of the heroic defense
of an isolated position by a small body
of troops, often j ill trained" and poorly
disciplined, but; inspired by the same
military enthusiasm; that characterizes
soldiers of the highest. mettle, says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The de
fense of Fort Stephenson in Lower
Sandusky by .itajor George Croghan,
in. 1813, .-with a small party of Ameri-
in our national history., General Proc
tor, the British commander, had a
force of over 500 English regulars and
an Indian contingent of more than
100. but the stoutest attempts at an
assault proved futile in : the face of the
determined defense made by the little
garrison, and the baffled1 English were
forced to withdraw. The defense of
Fort ' Stephenson contributed no little
to the solvation of the northwest, for
had it failed the British would have
ovenun a great deal of territory then
Wing rapidly settled, and the develop
ment of the lake region might have
been seriously retarded.
The defense made by Croghan was
successful, buj there is another defense
of an isolated post by a little band not
the less heroic, not a -whit Jess ' glori
ous, even though it failed.
'American history contains no bright
er page than that of the siege of the
Alamo. It was possible on the ap
proach of Santa Ana's army for Travis
and his little band to -retire in safety,
but they calculated that Hie relieving
force was elosier at hand than proved
to be the case, and determined to make
a stand in he oblong stone fortress
that became immortalized by the most
desperate defense in the history of
wariare. Travis had. when the siege
began, only 140 men. while the Mex
ican army numbered over 4000. On
February 23. : 1K36, the memorable
siege began-by the erection of batter
ies on both sides of the San Antonio
river. 1 :
A fierce bombardment ensued, shot
arid shell bcink poured, into -the fort
by hundreds. The terrific bombard
ment, however seems. by all accounts
to have 1ok little damage. It is said
that not a mart of -the garrison was
wounded, while the Texan sharpshoot
ers on the ramparts of the fort returned
a fire so deadly that some cf the Mex
ican batteries ; Jost every officer and
man. Travis; sent messenger after
messenger fori assistance, the Texan
scouts , easily I creeping through the
Mexican lines. Thirty-two men suc
ceeded in eluding the vigilance of the
Mexican besiegers and joined the de
voted garrison, but the relief jin force
never came, and on the 6th of March
the whole Mexican .awny combined in
an assault on the Texan position.
More than once the iMexicans -were
driven back, but finally, worn out by
oyer two weeks of constant watching
and fighting, the Texans were over
powered bv sheer weight of numbers,
and after aH had perished but six, these
surrendered. It had -been well -with
them if they had diecf with their com
panions, for the surrender gave them
onlv an hour's life. They were taken
to Santa Ana and hewed to pieces by
the brutal Mexicans.
The generosity with which a brave
soldier treats even the body of an ene
my wasT-ot shown by the victors at the
Alamo. The slain Texans were shame
lessly mutilated, their remains ;w-ere
piled in the center of the little fort
they had forai-cly defended and an at
tempt was made to burn them. A
month later the Alamo was -avenged
at the battle of San Tacinto. When the
terrible cry 'Remember ,, the Alamo!
inspired the ! Texans ! to f take bloody
vengeance for the cruel massacre.
But the defenders of the little fortress
had inflicted" -f.tich;-. terrible destruction
on the Mexican force before the Alamo
fell that they were practically their own
avengers. Over ! 1500 of the best
troop in the! Mexican army had been
'killed or wounded during the defense

THE DEADLY MICROBE.

""Of Love's Sweet dream?
. The latest hiding" place for microbes
is in moustachea. - ThU (rt AU-

ormationat the annual meeting of the
w.igicgawon oi tne secona Ketormcd

noi state wnerner or not tne congrega
tion was in need of sm-h la m-DT-nintr
but the fact that the professor selected
u fuller tain an occasion ; as tne an
nual meetinc to rive it lrat
resumption that it did. ; '5-.-;
mere is also some docbt as to
whether the professor referred to mous
taches generally or only to New Jer
sey moustaches- However, after a
careful consideration of the dispatch,
it would seem that he was speaking
more particularly of New Jersey mous
taches, wirti a special reference to the
New Brunswick article. It is well
known fact that Jersey moustaches
are the most unwholesome on earth.
A local physician who ave an inter
view on the subject to The Times yes
terday said:
"Take, for instance, the Jersey sub
urbanites -who do business in New
York. What chance have .they to
take care of their moustaches? They're
lucky if they get a chance to brush their
teeth occasionally.! Thejt irt their
sleep and -dress on Wie -wy to the train.
Of course, under these circumstances
a moustache is sure to goUo the dogs.
In the winter time it aBsorbs bacilli
from every snow heap, and during the
summer lawn mower tournaments the
microbes arc always on the outlook for
a chance to gambol in its unkept
meshes.
"It is a well-known -fact that there
are more microbes in New Jersey than
any other place in the "country. They
ike the people because they have a
peculiar wild flavor.. I have never
lasted a Jerseyman. but I have heard
it said that rh difference between the
flavor of a person (from New Jersey
and another state is as wide as the dif
ference between wild ducks; and domes
tic ducks.
"Well, all this goes to prove that
Jersey moustaches are subject to a
jreat many conditions "which do not
ipply in the case of Pennsylvania or
Virginia moustaches, and that it is un
'ust to condemn all moustaches simply
because Jersey moustaches are unwhole
some." A dispatch received late last night

HOW TO D R I N KWATE R.
To Get the Best Effects. It .Must Be
Slowly Sipped.
, Professor Silkham says there are few
people who thoroughly realize the val
ue of water as a beverage, or who
know how to obtain the greatest ad
vantage from it. The effects produced
by the drinking of water vary with the
manner in which it is- drunk. If, for
instance, a pint of cold water be swal
lowed as a large draught, or if it be
taken in two portions with a short in
terval between, certain definite results
follow-effects which differ from those
which would have followed tf the same
quantity were taken by sipping. Sip
ping is a powerful stimulant to the cir
culation, a thing which ordinary drink
ing is not During the action of sip
ping, the action of the nerve which
slows the 'beats of the heart is abol
ished, and. as a consequence, that or
gan contracts much more rapidly, the
pulse beats more quickly,! and the cir
culation in various parts of the body
is increased. In addition to this, we
find that the pressure under which the
bile is secreted is raised by the sipping
of fluid. :
And here is a point which might well
be noted by our readers: A glass of
cokl water slowly sipped wi41 produce
a greater acceleration of the pulse for
a time than will a glass of wine or
spirits taken at a draught. In this
connection it may not be out of place
to mention that siDoing cold water will
often allay the craving for alcohol in
those who nave been n the habit ot
taking too much: of it,' and may be
endeavoring to reform, the effect be
ing probably due to the stimulant-action
of the sipping. Hamilton Times.

OF
MORISINFS MUSCLE BROUGHT
; ' TO HIM MILLIONS.
Hermon Oelrich is Another Strong
New Yorker .Who Was a Match for
John L.' Sullivan in Has Best Days
. .Dick Croker and Oom Paul Strong.
Pr&fessional strong men have lost
their vogue somewhat in New York
since the days of -greatest popularity
for Sandow, Atilla and the rest of them,
but the vogue of the muscular man
in private life is increasing. It is held
William Blaike, of Harvard Coaege,
who has divided his energies for - a
century's fourth part bet ween, he law
and physical culture, and there never
were so many men of exceptional mus
cular development in business and pro
fessional circles as now. 1
Pndbably there is no mare in "New
York whose muscular strength has
been worth so much directly as that, of
Giovanni P. iMorosnni, the banker, has
been to him. Morosini must be past 65,
but his appearance, still shows evidence
of unusual muscular powers, even when
he is sitting quietly at Saturday mati
nees with his favorite daughter--the
younger one. frimanly, Morosini
owes everything to his muscle. He did
not attain his splendid bodily develop
ment by a course of training under
taken fpr that purpose, as did Blaikie.
Moros-ini is ltai-ian oom. lie fought
with Garibaldi, and then became a
sailor before the mast. It was his sea
iaring life during which he had to work
hard and live on simple food, that de
veloped his muscle. After leaving the
sea he came to America and got a job
in the Erie Railway offices. Morosini
came under Gould's eye when Gduid
had reason to fear bodiH- assaults from
certain quarters. Mr. Gould liked the
young man's looks, being stroek par
ticularly with his strength, and hirec
him promptly. For years thereafter.
wherever Gould was seen in public,
there Morosini was also, gigantic in
body," with swelling muscles to match
his size, at once an ideal personal guard
and a startling contrast in appearance
to his' distinguished employer.
There are many stones of fhe mus
cular services 'Morosini performed in
GotrM s behaM, though usually he on.y
had to show himself when the little
Wizard of Wall street wished to get
rid of a crank or other objectionabk
personage. On one occasion the big
ex-sailor had to expend some of his
physical strength. - Gould, being far
from well at the time, had given strict
orders -that no one should be admitted
bo his private office, but a certain well
known promoter managed to get past
the door boy. Once in the millionaire's
presence, the promoter was received
politely, but without enthusiasm, Gould
saying he had no time just then to look
into the proposition advanced. But the
promoter insisted, on the basis, prob
ably, that he never would have another
chance to talk with Gould. The million
aire cast an inquiring glance in the
direction of Morosini, who was present
as usual, and gently requested the in
truder to go away. This was too much,
for the latter, who started to make an
impertinent answer. Stepping quickly
to the promoter's side, Morosini threw
one arm about him, pinioning his arms
to his side, caught him by the legs
with the other arm as you would pick
up a child, carried him to the door and
dropped him outside in the corridor.!,
"If you ever come back." said Morp-
sini. "I'll drop you out of the window."
'Moros-.ni has boxed with John L.
Sullivan and wrestled wkh "Muldoon,
making a pretty good showing against
bo'-hl - He attributes the preservation
of his physical powers to steady exer
cise and a diet almost as, simple as
when -betore the mast.
Herman Oelrichs. known for twenty
years as one of the most muscular non-.
professional strong men in America,
though not exploited so much now as
formerly, acquired his powers through
me training he got at college. His
specialty is swimming. His friendship
with Matthew Webb, the swimming
teacher with whom he swam on put
occasion from Seabright, N. J., to the
Samly Hook lightshrp and back to
Monmouth," a distance of eighteen
miles. lasted till Webb's death in thfc
Niagara jforge. But Oelrichs, is. 6r
has been, a bit of a boxer, too as Sul
livan -discovered a few years ago.
Daniel Webster and Abraham Lin
coln were noted when boys as wrest
lers, the speaker of the house of rep
resentatives. D. B. Henderson, at 16
was champion wrestler of his own and
two adjoining counties. Gladstone and
Bismarck were powerful, and both at
tributed their success in public life to
their unusual phvsiaue. Gladstone in
particular. His treechopping propens
ity often was spoken of as an idiosyn
crasy, but in reality it was his method
of preserving his strength.
J. t . Morgan, "the great consolida
tor." is known by his friends to be an
unusually powerful man. "Oom Paul"
Kruger is said to have the physical
strength of two or three men. and they
teM a story of his killing fifteen muti
neers with a sword when he was a
young man in Holland.
"William. J. Morse, son of S. F. B.
Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, is
another New York Clubman of im
mense strength. He is a great traveler,
and has spent much time in the West.
Once when a wild Western editor print
ed something derogatory about Morse
he went to the publishing office, where
he drove the editor half, frantic by
moving the imposing stones about the
office, after which he swore he'y carry
off the press unless a retraction were
printed. The edkor retracted.

immense physic! strength, and so is

said that there; are streets in which it
is not safe for children to go- into gar
dens or i court yards after dark, The
neighboring markets are overrun 'A by
such swarms' that all ordinary attempts
to- subdue the vermin have been aban
doned in despair. As for the cats, they
no longer take any notice of a rat, either-
from motives of fear or because they
are too common to be I of any . interest

GENERAL LAWTON'S SONG.
He Had a Tenor Solo From "Mari
tana" Turned Into a March.
During the early years of the civil
war a party of young men walked out
of a theatre in New York after the
performance of an opera then popular,
"Maritana." Standing head and shoul
ders above his companions, Henry W.
rLawton, then a captain of the Thir
teenth Indiana, was perhaps Hie most
conspicuous of the group. He had on
ry recently been promoted from the
first lieutenancy of the Ninth Indiana,
and he was oa a short furlough to New
York. :
He grew enthusiastic, over the per
formance. He had not been able in
Indiana to see much of opera, and, to
gether with his natural liking fofmusic,
the martial spirit of Dan Cesar 'de Ba
zan completely won him. The tenor on
that occasion was an excellent one, and
the young captain was taken with the
famous . solo beginning:
Yes, let me like a soldier fail
! Upon some open field.
Al the conclusion of the many en
cores Captain Lawton turned to' his
friends and remarked that the song ex
pressed bis sentiments in their entire
ty ; As Lawton walked out of the the
atre he tried to sing the words but
beyond the first few he could remem
ber Httle. When he returned to his
regiment he went to .the bandmaster
and asked hkn to .gift the music and
to learn the piece upon which his fan
cy had fallen.- When the selection ar
rived, the bandmaster was dismayeil
to find that it was almost strictly a
tenor solo. 'Nevertheless, so j persist
ent -was Captain Lawton .that he turn
ed the solo into a inarch, which the
band played as one -of jlhe favorite
pieces of the regiment. -And. during
the continuous rise of Captain Lawton
through the various grades to that of
colonel of the . regiment, he never lost
his love for that bit of song. After the
