AT the close of the Horton street Grammar
school In Lewiston last week, Prof. John r. Dun.
ton, formerly principal Of the Belfast High school
was agreeably surprised by his pupils. What
purport2d to he picture of Gen. sheridan was to

Hugh PendeNter made the presentations After
slightly touching upon the great generals biog-
raphy-the youngest and yet ranking only sec.
ond of all our generals-and eulogiIirg him in
eloquent terms both as a soldier ana Il man.
Master PendeNter said ''I}ut If he who ruleth

city, now much greater is he who ruieth his own
spirit ana 800 young Americans besides. There
fore we present, not the picture Of General Sheri-
uan, but of Major General John Reilly Dunton 3"

General Sherman as q Cadet.

A man who was well acquainted
with General Sherman the other day
said: "rhe things that General Sher-
man seemed to have excelled in later
in life were those in which he was the
most deficient in while at West Point.
During the time he was a cadet he
never was selected as cadet officer
or even a non-commissioned officer, as
he was never deemed soldierly enough.
"As to the Generals standing in his
class when he graduated, he was
seventh in engineering, seventh in
ethics, fourth in minerology and geo
logy, twelfth in infantry tactics, eighth
in artillery tactics, and in department
he ranked 2I6 out of class of 233.
Now the idea that good scholar will
not make good commanding officer
is disproved in this case. Had it not
been for the Generals low average in
conduct, he would have in all proba
bility been a star scholar; that is, he
would have had a star affixed to his
name, as the first five men are given
this honor. The Generals low grade
was not due to bad conduct, but to
his unsoldierly appearance"

A S10,0OO,00 Claim.
FREMoNT'S HEIRS BRING SUIT AGAINST
THE UNITED STATES.

The Rev. w. r. Covert, of Findlay,
Ohio, has retained counsel to press the
claim of himself and the heirs of Gen
eral John c. Fremont to the owner.
ship of Bird Island in the Bay of San
Francisco. The amount involved is
estimated at over $40, 900. Gen
eral Fremont, when Military Cover
nor of California, purchased the island
from Mexico. Uncle Sam repudiated
the purchase and declined to either
buy from the Pathfinder or reimburse
him. However, the government some
years later took possession Of the is
land, which is the key to San Francisco
harbor, and erected Notifications and
light house upon it at a cost Of over
$9,ooo,ooo
General Fremont sought relief from
Congress in vain. Some time before
he died being low in funds, he secured
financial aid from the Rev. Mr.. Covert
giving therefor an option on a hall
interest in the island. He intended
to press his claim, but death interviewed.
Mrs Jessie Benton Fremont and her
son will now join in the proceedings
before the Court of Claims.
