How Batchelor of Received Telegraphic Messages Without Instruments Man Who Brought His Comrades Through Rain of Bullets Said: "That Wasn't Nothin." DOCTORS AND APOTHECARIES OF PURITAN BOSTON. By ALEXANDER CORBETT JR. Interesting 6tories of tbelr experiences, professional and otherwise; their queer notions of disease and the remarkable remedies they ad ministered.

So. 6. BENJAMIN BULLIVANT. Probably the most thoroughly professional as well as the best knwn Boston apothecary of puritan days was Dr Benjamin Bullivant, as he was called, whose shop, according to the best evidence obtainable, was in the house that made way in 1711 for our famous old corner bookstore, on the north corner of School and Washington sts. When he came from England nobody knows, but he was here in 1685, when one of his contemporaries wrote that Bullivant was "a gentleman by birth and allied by descent to many lords and barons of England; a noble scholar, orator and soldier." He appears to have been a noted wit, a fine story teller, a good liver and very popular among the upper ten the distinctively English crowd who made his shop their favorite lounging place.

One of his virtues," we are told, was, that "for the poor he always prescribed cheap, home-made medicines," not like some apothecaries, curing them of consumption of the body and substituting consumption of their purses: nor send ing them to the East Indies for rare and costly drugs, when they had far better growing in their own gardens. AN UNSUCCESSFUL LAWYER. Bullivant was reputed to possess such a knowledge of the law that when the carpetbag tyrant Andros was persecuting the Bostonians for standing up for their liberties, against the encroach ments of the crown. In 1689, he appointed Bullivant attorney general, to do the in cidental dirty work. It was probably a case where jgnorance of the law was quite as valuable as knowledge of it.

At all events, when the Bostonians finally got the whip hand they made Andros and Bullivant walk Spanish, so to speak, down to the castle, on Castle Island, where they were imprisoned for the better part of a year. Unlike An dros, however, Bullivant got back to Boston again, and prospered here for many years. He was warden of Kings chapel. which did not help him with the puritan set, though It did. no doubt, with those who thought nothing was any good un less it came from England, of whom there were many In Boston by that time.

QUITE A POLITICIAN. Gov Hutchinson Is responsible for a characteristic story about Bullivant, which Is probably true, as Hutchinson's father must have known the apothecary well. It seems that the earl of Bello- mont, when governor here, in 1699, having in mind the fate that befell Andros, was extremely suave and politic toward the puritans, and although he habitually attended King's chapel, yet he kept in the good graces of the orthodox by always attending the Thursday lecture In the First meeting house, opposite the head of State st. One Thursday noon, as Bellomont was returning from the lecture, to Province That I'tkin ha been captured by the tV.ifi forces on Wednesday lat, and that th lont-threatened legations had bn rescued from peril many dispatches published yeoterday Indicated, fortunately confirmed ss those tid lng of victory are. by Admiral Remey at Taku, la a dispatch bearing date yes terday at 1 a a trreat sense of relief will be felt, not only in America, but In.

many a land arrow the sea. The whole story ot duplicity and in trigue at Pekin will not be told, probably, for tom time, but every detail of the extraordinary situation which prevailed in the Chinese capital for weeks and month will be read with keen interest. Other problems will soon press for settlement in China, but the great majority cf people will not fret about them now. The fact that Pekin has teen cap-turel by the little allied army and many foreigners saved from danger seems to them indeed "glory enough for one day." UP GOES TEE TAX BATE. It is possible that the citizens of Bos ton will count themselves fortunate that the tax rate for the present year is not to be S15.40 Instead of tl 70.

Under the ct for Increasing the city's borrowing rapacity, which was adopted at the late extraordinary session of the great and general court of Massachusetts, without Boston's consent, the rate might have been raised to the first named figure. Mayor Hart was one of the foremost in the opposition to permitting the voters of this city to have the "conclusive say" as to the acceptance or rejection of the bill increasing the tax limit from $9 to $10.50. lie It was who proved one of the most influential In defeating the proposed referendum. That the city's chief magistrate Is "pleased with the situation," however, docs not imply by any means that tax payers as a whole will be pleased also, when they receive their next tax bills, which will mark an advance In rate from last year of $1.60 per thousand. Such an object lesson in what it costs In hard-earned money to set at naught the principle of local self-government In Boston Is quite certain to be borne in mind when the next municipal campaign for the chief city of New England Is under way.

COMMENDING 0TJR GALLANT NINTH. A very handsome tribute is paid by the British Gen Dorward to the "ready and willing spirit, steady gallantry and power of holding on" shown by the 9th regiment at the battle of Tientsin. It Is enclosed In a report, which Col Meade of the marine corps has made regarding the first engagement of the campaign in China. Gen Dorward takes all the blame for stationing the 9th in an unfit situation, and declares that "the position they gallantly stuck to all day undoubtedly prevented a large body of the enemy from Inflicting serious loss." Doubtless our regulars of the 9th, as our soldiers are accustomed to do, fulfilled their whole duty as brave men, and well merited Gen Dorward's words of praise. EDITORIAL P0INTB.

Happily, the first reports that the allied troops had reached Pekin and rescued the legations were "not too good to be true." The curtain of mystery that has hung over the Chinese capital is to be raised at last, to the relief of multitudes everywhere. Boston's tax rate this year will be only $14.70, the highest that has prevailed since the charter was changed In 18S5. Mayor Hart Is said to ba much better pleased with the situation than are some of the taxpayers. Every wheel Is said to have stopped on the Central Pacific during the interment services over Collis P. Huntington.

The "system" would scarcely do as much by way of tribute to the memory of any other potentate. Viscount Wolseley's popularity will not be increased in Britain by his sharp criticism on the English army as repre sented in the recent maneuvers at Al- dershot, but he may have told the truth, for all that. "Turn the hose on mobs" Is excellent advice, but it Is to be hoped there will be no need to put It In practice In our great cities, north or south. Now that a new diamond field has been discovered in the wilds of British Guiana another opportunity Is open for reckless adventurers. No doubt It will be eagerly embraced by not a few.

Will the faithful "Joe" Manley succeed where others have failed, and induce Tom Reed to speak for the republican cause In his own state of Maine? American coal Is going to Europe by the millions of tons. We are rapidly coming to feed, warm and clothe the old world. But we have plenty to spare. Greater New York boasts of a population of 3.42S.764. But some of the other boroughs are gaining on the greater city.

New York is already big enough to behave herself. Hanna Is said to be Indignant at the report that his health Is shattered. He says he proposes to stay at the helm through the campaign. Hanna Is tough. Krupp, the German maker of big guns, will begin practice on Aug 23 with cannon shooting 14 miles.

Everybody Is wishing that Krupp will shoot the other way. Clubs seem to have been trumps in the late New York negro unpleasantness. The police are generally condemned as not the finest, except In point of cruelty. Says the new king of Italy: "I have mistaken my profession, I was intended for a sailor." In his youngest years he learned to swim, knew all the parts of all kinds of craft, and could handle a sailing craft to perfection. Kingcraft Is getting to be a dangerous trade, anyway.

and will probably not return to Cuba before the end of the month. Borne may ask if altogether too tnuch noise baa cot been made over the Cuban teachers, considering that their course of Instruction has only lasted ttx weeks, and that their diversions in this short time have real ly made their instruction scarcely more than a aide show. But education means far more than what is comprehended in mere books and verbal Instruction, and in the case of our late guests has a vastly more far-reaching purpose. It is an old Baying that one can never know a people till he sees them at their own firesides. The Cubans have no firesides In the literal sense.

Cooking stoves were found to be quite new to them, their cooking at home being done over a small charcoal fire, in a huge brick grate. Very naturally their preparation of food under these circumstances is quite primitive, too, and we may expect a revolution in culinary affairs when the ladles get back to their homes. There is another point not to bo forgotten. It is well known, as Supt Frye points out, that there has always been great Jealousy and rivalry In the different provinces of Cuba, which have at times almost amounted to hatred. The scheme that gathered up so many teachers from all parts or the Island and sent them to Cambridge on their good behavior was eminently calculated to dispel feelings of rivalry and help the teachers to know each other better.

As a unifying Influence in the whole island the experiment of a joint visit to this country can hardly be overestimated. We shall doubtless see its happy effects later in enlarged Intercourse among the provinces and a broadened sense of interdependence. What Cuba has always lacked is community of spirit. It is very essential tfcai this should be cultivated so that when future contributions for educational purposes are made in the various provinces there will not be constant complaint that one section has been favored above another. There is no more effective way to broaden an island like Cuba than to broaden the vision of its teachers.

It is said that few of the 1200 teachers that came to Cambridge had ever been on the salt water before. Having never been abroad, they have never seen anything but their own antiquated schoolhouses, in which discipline is hardly known. All that they have seen here will prove a new revelation and the foundation of entirely new conceptions of human development. Having seen so much of our domestic, educational and social life, the government will now take our late guests in hand and show them the nation's capital. They will go there on a perfectly equipped American railroad.

On their return to New York they will visit West roint. having meanwhile seen Philadelphia, where the nation was cradled. Before they are ready to embark finally for Cuba they will have had plenty of opportunity to see that the people of the United States have really their good at heart, and that their previous conceptions of mis country have been quite dwarfed. And what is perhaps the greatest victory of all is that Cuban mothers will be led to believe that the United States Is a safe place in which to trust their daughters without home guardianship, the purity of the home being not leas Jealously guarded in America than in any of the older countries. Whether a repetition of the Cambridge trip wtll ever be again undertaken remains to be seeu.

We do not expect to Americanize Cuba or cause the people to desert their language end institutions. But that this trip will do nftieh to soften any prejudice, not to say hatred, that exists in Cuba against Americans cannot be well doubted. Commerce is the most potent factor in diffusing the Knglish language among other peoples. If the Cuban teachers have not acquired much English during their short stay here, and are not expected to teach it in Cuba. they will least lend an Impulse in that direction when they return.

Show any foreigner that he is losing a dollar by not knowing English, and that fact becomes the greatest stimulus to knowledge. May just commercial relations with Cuba act witi education to carry our language, as well as our inventions and customs, into that island. And Saved Pemaquid Falls, Me, from Destruction.

Jolly Party from Newport Goe to Rocky Point and Puts to Test Everything in Amusement Line. NEWPORT. Aug new fad was started at Newport yesterday bv Col John Jacob Astor. It was an excursion tip Narragansett bay on Col Astoria electric yacht Utopian, The party passed several hours at Rocky Point. Rhode Island's popular shore resort, and had a sal home by moonllffht.

The party numbered about 30. and was composed mostly of young people. It Is understood that the excursion was planned by Miss Nora Bell, and when Col Astor heard of the scheme he Immediately offered not only his services but the use of his yacht, the onlv one of its kind in the world. They left Newport about o'clock in the afternoon and proceeded up the bay. On the way they experienced a squall, and all had to pile into the cabin to get out of the rain.

It soon cleared off, and Rocky Point, which was their destination, was reached shortly before 6 o'clock. As soon as they arrived the party sat down to a clambake, each guest having; a heap of clams placed before him to open and eat. They dined as the ordinary excursionist does seated on a hard board bench at a Ions: table cov- ered with white cloth. It was a Jolly meal, ending with a watermelon. From the dining: hall the party pro ceeded to take In the sights of the resort.

Some visited the tents of the fortune tellers, others enjoyed a ride on a toboKKan. while others examined the mysteries of the haunted house. The fruests Btopped at the merry-BO-rojnd, where the hand organ wa kept jrnlnif for an hour to satisfy the whim of society folk on wooden horses. Then every one went to see the chutes and nearly all th party made at least one trip down the slide into the water. It was the eight of a lifetime, anl Col Astor was the first to start It.

The so- letv clrls screamed with delight, for none of them were frightened. While all this was coin on, a larpe crowd of persons who belonsr to no set collected, and had as much fun looking as tne Newport excursionists. It wuh late in the evenlna before the party wearied of the amusement, and it was suggested that the return trip be begun, it was not until then that the ateness of the hour was learnca, ne-nar after 10 o'clock. The Utopian wan finally started, ami as nhe left the point a hearty cheer went up from the hun- reds who had collected mere. The return trlD was made by moon- lifrht, and the bay resounded with sonif nd laughter, it was tne nrst excurxiun the kind that has ever cone out from smnrt net.

Rpplauds its counterpart In the archipelago. To be an Englishman of the former type Is no disgrace, but there can be but one opinion among fair-minded, liberty-loving and God-fearing people as to the mental and moral status of the latter. If be isn't a disgrace to civilization and mankind, then the term is misnomer. And right here it might he well to state that had not Pres McKinley arrogantly re fused to give Agulnaldo any intimation la re' sponss to his civil query as to which one of the threo foims of government possible in conformity to the constitution it was intended to confer upon the Philippines, there wonld in all likelihood have been no wax or Insurrection in those islands. Had our Filipino allies, through their chieftain, been treated with the consideration due them as such and as a people enenscd in ngntlng for their liberty, with the understanding, on their part at least, that they were attaining It at lost by the assistance of the n.odel republic of the world, there would no doubt have been a saving- of thousands of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars in money and property, nut Instead of that they were given surly slap In the face.

Even after bo outbreak at Manila, which was the result of a rigid application of military methods to natlrca who did not understand our language, and consequently the orders given them, there might have bceu pacification, but Gen Otis or his superiors wouldn't listen to the proposition.

Furthermore, had England not so artfully succeeded in getting this country into an abominable mess of the same ilk as that in which she is now Immersed, there Is strain; ground for believing that the minions of Queen Victoria would not ba at this time engaged in annihilating S'outh African republics.

In Defense of the Colored Race. To the Kditor of the People's Column Too often it is an observable fact that the wflilte people in general, especially those of the south, seem to take a pleasure In stlgmatiilng the whole of the black race for the wrong a part of them commit, instead of holding the wrong doers individually responsible. Among every race of men there are transgressors, and why the black man's moral Infirmities are always subject for platform speeches, for newspapers, for magazine articles and of conversations Is beyond my understanding. Our white friends seem to forget the ill treatment the negro, as a race, received at the hands of Christian white people during the 250 years of slavery. They Bcem to forget the bias laws and the tyrannical usurpation which is now the ruling spirit in the south.

There the black man Is blamed for all things done not in harmony with the moral and civil code. There the white man is excused for everything and is blamed for nothing. Such la the condition of the two races in the states south of Washington; and such will be the condition so long as the now prevailing spirit of tyrannical usurpation continues to rule. Miss Keown Is plensed to Inform the good people of Boston that the negro's moral infirmity of stealing does not appear to be overcome by any considerable amount of book learning. Is it reasonable to expect perfection to come out of imperfection? Was not the system of slave laws under which the negro toiled unpaid for two and a half centuries the cause of this moral Infirmity? Is the system of civil laws, under which the negro now lives in the south, perfect? Does it glrs Justice to every man, white and bluck Does It punish white men for defaming the characters of young colored women? Does it burn white men at the stake for an accusation not proven by the courts of law? These are important questfons for Miss cown to consider before she stigmatises such men of the colored race in the south, like Hon Booker T.

Washing-ton and other respectable educators, and excellent scholars who are taught by them. It is not expected that the mob and lynch- 1 a-u ttf n. ing societies in tne nwiiu m. -jm prove of the methods of Miss Lillian ClaytoJT, Jewett and other friends of the negro here In the north any more man me by the abolitionists were approved by the slaveholders of the south.

Garrick Club Whiskey richest product of American distilleries. ALFRED E. NORRIS CO, H8 Walnut SwPhil- the Signal Corps noissance was suddenly surprised by an overwhelming force of insurgents. The fight was a fierce one for a few minutes, when the Americans realized that their ammunition would soon be exhausted, and accordingly took shelter in a nearby stone church. Here it was found that their losses numbered several killed and wounded.

With but a few rounds of anynunition left, and practically no rations, the situation was indeed serious. Anthony volunteered to go for assistance, and at nightfall started out. Two days later he returned with reinforcements, and found the besieged with only one quart of water and about a handful of rice) left. Upon investigation it was learned that Anthony had penetrated and crossed the lines of tiiree separate organized bodies of Insurgents, each numbering about 200 men. One of the features of the campaigning in the Philippines is the efficient work of the signal corps.

This organization during all the heaviest campaigning of Lawton, Wheaton, Young and Scnwan kept right up with the firing line, and by doing so enabled the commanding officers to keep constantly in telegraphic communication with Manila, or some point that had wire connection with Manila. Considering the nature of the country, this has been anything but a light task, and the members of the eigrial corps have endured more individual'Jhardships than perhaps any other body of troops now serving out here. In the campaign that culminated In the final pacification of the country in the vicinity of Bacoor, Las Pinas, Par-anque and Zapote, James Batchelor was one of the telegraph operators of the signal corps on duty with Gen Schwan's column. At one place near Big Benti, when a halt was made and communication about to be opened with Manila, It was discovered that the Instruments were back nearly 10 miles with the supply train. Datchelor volunteered to send and receive messages without Instruments, and he did it, too, as a cost of personal endurance and suffering that nd one but himself will ever be able to appreciate.

By sticking a niece of wire in the ground and tapping the end of the overhead wire against the ground wire he was able to open and close a circuit which enabled Urn to communicate with Manila. But how was he to receive their replies? Wed. Batchelor was formerly a railroad operator, and consequently is on to ail the ins and outs of the profession. He was familiar with an old trick of I'nemen to cut in on a wire and test it Wthout instruments, an expedient that has often been resorted to in case of railroad wreck. Tne method is to place the ends of the two wires to the tongue and read the dots an1 dashes by the shock, the tongue being r.

sensitive this is easy to do. and Batchelor's feat would not have been anything unusual if he had merely received one or two short messages this manner, but when the fact is considered thi.t he worked in this manner for seven long hours, receiving messages until h.s tongue was swollen to nearly tnrlce Its normal size, it will be seen that it was a test of endurance an i that Batchelor won. Through some misinterpretation of orders, the supply train which contained the telegraph instruments did not come up the next morning, and Batchelor volunteered to rereat his performance of the day before, but Gen Schwan refused to i How him to do so, and said that if he had been aware of what was going on the dav before Jne would have put a step 1o it. Henry Brader is a haopy-go-lucky Philadelphia boy. now a member of thfe 4th infantry.

He distinguished himself at the battle of Zapote river. On the day of the battle June 13, 1899 the humid heat of the tropics was terrific- the men's canteens were empty, and the only water that was to be had was in the river, on the other side of which was a large body of very determined Filipinos, very intent upon their task of pumping a large amount of Mauser Remington ammunition into the American soldiers on the other side Brader remembered passing a water cart some distance back on the road, and decided that he would fall out go back and procure the cart aad fill 'the two barrels upon it. and thus relieve the agonizing thirst of his comrades. And that was exactly what he did In order to fill the casks Brader had to run his cart right down to the edge of the river and take his chances in the face of a terrific fire.

Dr Thomas Oakes was a puritan "phi-sitian," who was given an "enviable "character" by a garrulous English v'sltor to Boston in 16S6, who said: "Dr OWkes is a great dissenter and very pious, and is very hospitable to Englishmen. He is likewise the greatest esculaplus of the country. His wise and safe prescriptions have saved more languishing patients from the jaws of death than all the mountebanks and o.uack-salvers have consigned to those dark regions. On his first visit to a patient Dr Oakes begins by persuading him to put his trust in God, the true fountain of health, the want whereof hath caused the poor success of most phidtlar.s, for they that won't acknowledge God In their applications, God won't ackowledge them in the success they expect." Perhaps as fitting a subject as can be selected for closing this series of sketches of doctors In puritan days is one Dr Snelling, who is embalmed In history on account of a merry response which he made to the toast, "Here's to our friends!" Elevating his pewter mug of foaming ale, the doctor gave vent tc his exhuberance In this poetic sentiment: I'll pledge my friends, And for my foea A plague for tbelr beels And a plague for their toea. The next day he was hauled before a magistrate and fined $2.50 and costs, for "cursing!" WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

June 30 Since the American troops have been operating in the Philippines numberless incidents of personal bravery and heroism have been displayed by the officers and enlisted men of Uncle Sam's army. Deeds of the greatest daring, requiring an untold amount of nerve, have been performed by men who never gave a second thought as to what they wera doing and who. after having placed themselves in most perilous situations, merely laughed when they were congratulated by their fellow officers and comrades.

Not a few Instances are on record where volunteers have been- called for to perform some hazardous duty, with the result that every man in the command offered his services, and those who were not In the detail finally selected by the commanding officer felt personally aggrieved. In fact there are cases on record where men have been tried by court martial for having used vigorous language to officers for having been passed by when a detail was made up to perform work that meant anything but a Sunday school picnic for the men who were picked out to do it. Under the seorchins: rays of the pitiless tropical sun that shines upon these Islands men have performed deeds that would win the Victoria cross, and which In many cases have been appropriately awarded in Washington, but which at the time of their performance were looked upon as mere commonplace, humdrum bits of service liable to fall to the lot of anv soldier. The most refreshing thing in connection with these deeds of courage is the fact that so. many of them have been performed by private soldiers who were able to observe the opportunity when it offered, and who accordingly took the initiative and did their duty without having been ordered to do so.

One of the most praiseworthy deeds that has been performed in the Philippines was the act of Sergt William Harris of Co 21st infantry, who was detailed as captain of the small river gunboat Oceania during the period in which supplies were being sent to Gen Lawton in the northern provinces just before the general began what proved to be his final campaign. Late one Sunday afternoon in the latter part of October the Oceania was proceeding upthe Rio Grande de la Pampanga with two cascos, or barges, loaded with rations. When near the mouth of the Rio Chico she was fired upon from ambush on both sides of the narrow river. At the first volley Maj Guy Howard, Gen Lawton's chief quartermaster, and son of Gen O. O.

Howard, fell dead, and the next volley killed the pilot and mortally wounded the engineer, besides disabling MaJ Howard's civilinn messenger. At the first shot Sergt Harris turned the Nordenfeldt machine gun with which the boat was armed, upon the Insurgents, but at the third shot the gun "Jammed" and would have remained useless had not the sergeant stepped across the dead bodies of the major, pilot and wounded engineer secured a screwdriver from his tool' box and in the face of a most galling fire from both sides of the river calmly picked the empty cartridge shells out of the gun and repaired it. During this operation the vessel had become unmanageable and was In great danger of colliding with the cascos which she had in tow. Sergt Harris quickly discerned this, and seizing the Wheel, he alternately kept the Oceania in the channel of the river and worked the rapid-fire gun with telling effect landing his craft and carpo six miles further up the river. Gen Lawton recommended him for a medal of honor.

THE PROPOSED NEW The people of Wyoming are rejoicing ever the prospective possession of a har.dFome new railroad station, to take the place of the preaeat structure, mhich has come to be quite "inadequate to the needs of that growing and community. Even after the decision of the Boston management to build the new station was reached, there was some delay occasioned by a difference of opinion as to bridging of a brook; but this matter has been finally adjusted, and work upon the foundation of the new building is already under way. The station is to be. located about 100 feet south of the present one. on the same side of the track, and will bi.

in every respect, a credit to the community which it will serve. The building will be 5o feet long ami 3o feet wide, with a covered awning in front S.V1 feet Ions, and a covered walk around the back and sides ainf feet wide The building will be of light buff-colored brick, with red Longmeadow sandstone trimmings, and will have a sUted roof. The interior walls will be finished i with the same kind of brick as the outside, and ail ceilings and trim.
