THE LATE GEN. HARVEY.
He Was the Oldest Officer In the Army of
the United States.


the United States.
Gen. Harvey, just previous to his death,
which occurred recently in Florida, was the
oldest living man who had been an officer in
the United States army. William Selby
Harvey was born in Davidson county, Tenn,
in 1877, though 1900 is given by some as the
date of his birth.
In 1918 he was appointed lieutenant in
the First United States infantry from civil
life He was then a magnificent specimen of
a man, standing six feet three inches in his
stockings, was broad breasted and broad
shouldered, and first in athletic sports. His
first duty on entering the army was to hunt
down the pirate Lafitte, who was smuggling
on the southern coast; and soon afterwards
he was appointed aid-de-camp to Gen. Jack
son, who was commanding in Florida. He
was sent up the Missouri river on n peace
mission to the Indians and gained at that
time a knowledge of them which proved in
valuable to him afterwards, when he became
an Indian fighter.
| In 1925 Harvey was made captain In
| 1928 he was in command of Fort Winnie
| bago, and jefferson Davis went there a
lieutenant, having been graduated in that
year from West Point They spent two
years together and became intimate friends,
Then came the Black Hawk and after
wards the Seminole war. Harvey came
very near being butchered in the BILLY Bow
| legsn massacre He was lieutenant colonel
of the Second dragons, and his command
was surprised and all killed. Harvey, feet
as the wind, made dash for the woods and
escaped. He commanded several expeditions
into the everglades Of Florida, and was bre-
vetted for gallant and meritorious conduct in
the performance of this duty.
In 1916 he became colonel and took
part in the Mexican war He was first
| given the command of the Texan frontier.
Advancing into Mexico, on his way to Vera
Cruz he routed the enemy and captured q
strong position, but acting contrary to orders
ne came very near being court martiaed
The gallantry of the deed and the friendship
Of Gen. Scott saved him. He was the first &c

For the want of better name, he calls it an
electric transmitting device, and its mission is
to convey small packages, letters, newspapers
and important documents from place to place
in an almost incredibly short time.
The machine itself is very simple, and con-
sists of two elliptically shaped metallic boxes,
feet long, placed parallel with each other.
The diameter of these boxes the long way OF
the ellipse is s inches, and the short way D
inches To each end of each box is fastened
a pair of metallic arms, the latter being sus-
pended from the axes Of two wheels about 2
feet in diameter. The machine is saddled
upon an angle iron track, as shown in the an
nexed cut, box being suspended from each
side:
The track rests ON iron gudgeons fastened
on the top of high poles similar to telegraph
poles, placed a little over n hundred feet
apart A wire cable runs in the hollow part
of the rail, Just beneath the upper surface,
upon which the whole runs. 1t rests on the
top of the iron gudgeons, the latter being
