Phone No, Masquerade on Labor Day Will be Interesting Sight King Rex an The long expected change in the management of Hope hospital took place today. Several weeks ago Miss Nancy Mayhew, for many years matron of the institution, resigned and to-day the resignation took place. The trustees of the institution have secured Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Shook to take charge of the management of the institution.

Miss Mayhew leaves for her home in the country, where she will take a short rest. Mr. and Mrs. Shook recently conducted a boarding house on West Berry street. Both of them have had experience in public institutions, having been connected with the Indiana Home for Feeble Minded it was at Knightstown and continuing there after its removal to Fort Wayne.

Mr. Shook will have charge of the property and Mrs. Shook will attend to the duties of a matron. The trustees have in view a new head nurse who will take charge of the present staff of nurses at on early date and it is believed that the high reputation of the institution will be maintained and the efficiency the work increased.

L. BEDS of Individual daring in the Spanish war were more numerous than expected from modern methods of fighting, but uot to the extent of becoming commonplace. Perhaps It was the rawness and Indecision of the mass which made the deeds of the few so noticeable. When looking for the unexploited heroes at Camp Wlkoff, 1 ran upon the story of Major William Auman of the Thirteenth regulars. The dash of Lieutenant Anderson's handfull to the top of the crest ahead of all the rest and the seizure of the Spanish flag by this band seemed to fill the measure of glory for the regiment.

After noting it down from Anderson's lips I was prepared to leave camp, when tne colonel said: "I hope you won't overlook Major Auman. He was a great figure in the crisis of the charge." Auman is a civil war veteran' and a soldier of striking appearance. He was second In command in the early part of the attack upon San Juan hill. The Thirteenth dashed direct upon the blockhouse at a time when its defenders were stirred dp to a stubborn defense. The Americans had been aiming at the stronghold for over two hours, and the Sixth infantry, supported by the Sixteenth, were halted on the slope to the right of the Thirteenth, the latter having acclivity in front with a steepness of 50 degrees.

For a few minutes the regiment lay on the slope and fired at the Spaniards In the trenches at the blockhouse. The artillery was also pounding at the same target, and finally Parker's Gat- lings swept the position with a terrible fire. Just how seriously the enemy was harmed by this storm of shot has never been told, but there was a sign of confusion in their lines, with men running back from the front. In tbe heat of battle It is Impossible to tell when an enemy has had a fatal blow. But Major Auman took the chances that the hour had come to charge, and rose up in front of the fort, In full view of his meu, and shouted: "The Span- lards are running, boys! Forward, Thirteenth!" The regiment shot forward like a thunderbolt, clinching the victory if not winning it.

But that was not the sole end accomplished by Auman's timely action. His form could be seen along the line of two brigades, and his voice reached officers and men of other regiments. They declared afterward that it was timely for they had about' come to the decision that the fort could not be carried by the force then In front of it. Auman's sppceli was a bracer, and the rush of the Thirteenth under his lead was followed by the charge of four more regiments, two on each flank. Then San Juan blockhouse fell.

It is difficult sometimes to say just what stroke decides a battle, but the rush torward of the Thirteenth under Major Auman's lead seems to have carried the day. If not actually slaughtered and driven out by Parker's Catling fire, the Spaniards were terribly scared and made a precipitate retreat. Thej soon gave indications that they regretted their haste. red to it, bot MOM haa new revetted. Tnto WM tbe cttttlnc of tbe barbed wire Hence la front of tbe Twelfth Infantry on advance to tbe atone fort, the line of the twelfth WM long and tbe advance oeceuartly slow on account of the stubborn defense of tbe Spaniards and the delay caused by letting in range of the American guns firing from tbe rear over the infantry lines.

Finally a charge WM ordered across open fields Inclosed by wire fence. A check at that point might be fatal to the aatailants, and volunteers were called for to cut openings through the wire. Two men responded. They crawled forward under cover, but at the time of cutting the wires were ei- posed to Spanish fire. Neither was hit.

The commanding officer 'of the regiment at Montauk said that officer who handled this work that day was away from the regiment, and no one In camp could give their names. He personally saw from a distance the men at work and considered a brave deed, but too much absorbed in the charge to inquire who they were. When the regiment retired to its post at Jefferson Barracks, safe from the glare of publicity and lionizing, the identity of the men was made known by their commander, Captain Haskell of Company H. One of them. Corporal James L.

McMillan, told his story, dwelling particularly upon the bravery of his comrade, Private J. W. Smith McMillan piloted Company H. through the gaps his pliers had made In the wire fence. Captain Tutherly, commanding a squadron of the First cavalry, told me of a very modest hero of his own company.

Continuing in the line, he was soon over come by a numbness of the arm, which prevented him handling his Krag.

Instead of going to the surgeon, he used his sound hand in caring (or the wounded on the field. Karsten was too old to be commissioned from the ranks and received no reward for his pluck. In fact, It Is the temper of the regular uot to seek teward for simply doing a soldier's sworn duty. Soldiers of the noncornbatant claw come In for many very hara scorings, but when one of these gentry gets a chance to face the music he does It like a hero. The assistant surgeon of the Twenty-first infantry, Captain H.

0. Fisher, gives a modest story of how he helped the wounded on the firing line at San Juan Hill. Having learned that the regiment was to attack the blockhouse Captain Fisher went forward and caught up with the men, awaiting orders on the bank of a stream-' Says he: "The bullets were zipping aboiit. Captain Ebsteln called, 'Get down, and the doctor got down and listened to the hornets. Soon some one called out that Lieutenant Meade, just from West Point, was wounded, and, keeping low till I got to him, I dressed the wound in his forearm, through which a bullet had passed, both of us lying down.

Then came a staff officer to say that Genera! Kent ordered the Twenty-first to gain an important hill, and they started ahead at double time. About that time I was called to dress some officer of the Sixteenth, lying in the roadway wounded, and when I could go on the MASONIC TEMPLE. Week, Monday, Sept.

He enlist ed so promptly in 1861 that he went to the front among the famous "First Defenders" of Washington. After serving with gallantry four years he was appointed lieutenant in the regular army and took a course fighting Indians on the plains. Another incident at San Juan fort illustrates the power of Individual courage at the right time.

A soldier in the Roosevelt hospital. New York, George J.

The second comrade wounded was a boy of 20. in the Thirteenth, and Hanloo went out to call a Red Cross man to attend him. He found one bending over a prostrate form on the ground. It proved to be that of the major.

He was shot through the heart Of unknown heroes there were not a few at Santiago. Hanlon says that the men around him had too much to do looking after the Spaniards to attention to the dead major, and after a time the burial squad took him away. Some one doubtless, recognised him and identified him and placed a mark at his grave, but of those who witnessed his heroism none could carry the credit of the deed to where It belonged. la the first brilliant account of tbs battle of Caney by Captalc Lee of tbe KngUsh army there was reference a deed of heroism called by the MA.JOtt AUMAN U.
