Stories Of StonewaH Jackson.


The death of General Cadnus Will
cox recalls some original and charac-
teristic anecdotes concerning S,onr-
wall jackson which he was iii the
habit of relating. When Jackson first
entered West Point he was regarded
rs remarkably s!npid anil green
youth. General Whiting who after
ward served in the Confederate army,
was then cadet IN the class above
Jackson's, and was appointed to ask
MIN some questions in mathematics in
accordance with the custom wlscl
then prevailed ut tic Military Acati-
envy. Whiting lllory:,t him ut first
remarkably dull. but noticed that he
studied aud worked with ,lhgge4l per-
sislency. The class CT which Wilcox
and Whiting were members WAS grad
uated just prior to the Mexican war.
Several of the young officers were in
Washington on their way to Mexico,
and on the night OF their arrival they
were invited to go with Jefferson
Davis then member OF the House. to
il reception given ut the White House.
Later both Davis and i. j. jackson
turned their faces toward the Rio
Grande. At tic close Of the war Jack
son ranked every member OF his class
and was a brnvet major. aud was sta
toned on Governors Island. near
New York. Whiting. Wilcox and a
number of young officers were visiting
New York. and when several brother
officers from Governors Island called
on them Whiting asked:
What has become of Tom Jack
son; how is he getting on?.''
Badly. badly" replied the officer;
since he has stopped lighting lie has
taken to tillling. He came over to
this city II few weeks ago and bought u
fiddle. several bows and II pile Of resin.
You will remember at West Point
there was no music in his soul, no
poetry. no relaxation. nothing bnt
hard application to his text books. So
his new fa, makes it awful for rs.
Every minute he can spare he deyotes
to practicing on the fiddle and the
sounds which I'LL the barracks in his
vicinity are beyond description; almost
| beyond endurance. =
BE patient,'' said Whiting. with .
smile; '.if Tom Jackson is determined
to master his violin YOU will listen to
J second Paganini before he gives up. Z
But Writings predictions was not
verified. Jackson never became q
,a,lsician.

HILLS HOWL WON'T HURT.

There is not that harmony among Demo-
cratic statesmen and organs as would
make it possible for the country to tell
with any certainty which way the Demo-
cratic majority in Congress intends to
Jump. However, it is some satisfaction to
know that conservative policy is favored
by many influential men and newspapers of
that party. Governor Hills radical advice
to repeal the Mckinley tariff and admins
trative acts and the Sherman silver law
is not approved by some of that ofice-hold-
ing phenomenon's supporters. They re-
alize what upsetting system Of finance
entails upon the nations business. The
New York World fatty declares that Gov
ernor Hill, whom it has hitherto sup
ported, is in error Even to Democratic
organ it is clear that such a headlong pol
icy of destruction would have paralyzing
effect upon the country's trade, commerce
and finance.
Hill takes negative view only; he sug-
gests no particular substitute for what he
would destroy. 1t is about what might
have been expected from peanut poll
tician. Fortunately such policy is bad
politics for the party, and it cannot fail
to see it. 1t would hurt the Democracy's
already slim chances next year as much
as it would the nations interests, and for
that reason Hills foolish plan to smash
the tariff and fly to free silver will not be
adopted by the present Congress.

"AMoNG the Wall street millionaires none
has been 80 generally accessible ns Russell
Sage" said Clarence Rossiter, a New York
broker, to the writer on a Fort Wayne ex-
press night before last. ANYONE of decently
respectable appearance could gain adrnis-
sion to Sage's sanctum in the Arcade build
ing, If he merely had patience enough, for
the financier saw many people and had not
an idle minute while downtown. In this
accessibility Mr.. Sage has always differed
from the majority of rich men. For instance,
jay Gould, Mr.. Sage's most intimate friend
never sees visitors who approach him un-
armed with strong letters of introduction.
MI. Sage's experience is apt to make him
cautious about receiving strangers, and Wall
street magnates generally will shut them
selves up more tightly than ever.''
1t 1s in the writer's experience that Mr..
Sage was the easiest and most pleasant big
gun in Wall street to reach for news In the
exciting times ofthe Marine Bank and Grant
& Wards failure and at other crises in the
Street, interviewed him regularly every
day and had no difficulty in getting at him,
though the process of pumping anything out
of him was usually more arduous. When he
was in mood to talk, he dictated his views
and read them before he let them get into
print.

BILLY FLORENCE LAID TO REST.
Interment of the Favorite Actor in Gree

Interment of the Favorite Actor in Green
wood Cemetery Plot.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-[Speciol 1.-The remains
of William j. Florence, the actor, were
finally inferred this afternoon, in the family
plot at Greenwood Cemetery. About IS
people were present to witness the ceremony
at the grave, which was short and simple.
Beside the actors widow. the other members
OF the family present were three brothers of
the actor, Inspector John Conlin, Peter
Conlin and Benjamin Conlin, Mrs. Barney
Williams, sister OF Mrs. Florence, and
Commodore Joseph H. Tooher and his son
and daughter-in-law. Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
H. Tooker, Jr. When the casket was about
to be lowered into the grave Mrs. Florence
placed bunch of violets at the head, and
then broke down completely. Rev. Father
Pratt read the Catholic committal service.
Then, when the coffin was about to be low
cred, all knelt around the plot and Rev.
Father Brandt read the Catholic prayer.
Holy water was sprinkled on the coffin, and
it was lowered into the grave.
Florence's grave, which is near the east en-
trance of the cemetery, is surrounded by
graves of well-known actors and theatrical
people Near by is the plot where Lester
Wallack and his father James William Wal
lack, and Harry Montague lie buried. John
Brougshnm, "the father of American bur-
lesque," lies near, and Laura Keene. who
was playing the leading part in the "Amer-
ican Cousin at Ford's Theater in Washing
ton on the night that Abraham Lincoln was
shot there, Lola Montague, Tom PIacide, W.
E. Burton and Barney Williams are within
short distance. Almost directly behind
Florence's grave lie Henry Ward Beecher
and the wife of Secretary Tracy.

The discovery of the bacillus of consump-
tion, or any other one of che recent
triumphs of medical science, would be as
nothing beside the revelation of cure by
physical means of any one of the familiar
vices in humanity. Thus, if by seclusion
for a brief term and the administration OF
certain drugs, the desire to murder, to
steal or to lie could be eradicated from the
human heart, the Millennium would be
within hailing distance.
Incredible as the idea seems it is along
this line that the regeneration of man is
expected by many of the wisest and best
OF the worlds thinkers. Religion and
moral suasion are not to be shelved but
reinforced by physical curative processes.
The man whose lust for liquor is conquered
by bi-chloride of gold still has need of the
Divine law and human morality if he
would have permanent immunity from the
curse of drunkenness. He must use his
judgment and his will, avoid temptation
and resist evil influences, or the physical
condition which breeds the fatal appetite
may be re-erected. 1t is the function OF
the remedy to give a man a chance to
reform to make it physically possible.
To extend a like means of salvation to
victims of other evil habits is work
grand enough to satisfy the ambition Of
any man.

Tramps Have Hearts,

"THE common idea that tramps expend
the money they ask for in liquor is errone-
ous," said a commercial trayeler at Sixth
street hotel the other day. Il furnished
six of them with a dime apiece the other
evening and out of curiosity followed one
and saw him join the other five on Penn
avenue. They walked to an electric light
where they stopped and counted the pro-
ceeds of their begging. I heard them say
We've got 50 40 Let's hire n room and take
Jim there and then we can feed him. Then
followed them down some streets, of which
don't know the name, and there under
shed they found comrade, who was evil
IDENTIFY sick. They took him to poor look
ing lodging honse, where they rented a room
and one of them went to grocery store and
purchased some food, but, although I
watched for long time, am satisfied that
not cent of the money was paid out for
drink. am not rich. but felt sorry to
think had not given them more, and since
then when a tramp asks me for a dime al
ways make it n quarter These are cold
nights and 1 guess there is more truth than
we think for in the tramp's request, that he
wants the money to get him bed"

PENNsYLvANIA's EXHIBITS.

Executive Commissioner Whitman, OF
the State Board in charge of Pennsyl.
yania's share in the Chicago Fair, in his
last report makes an interesting showing
of what can be done in the way of exhibits
He advocates the appropriation of most OF
the funds for the display of farm products,
minerals, coal, coke, oil and natural gas,
and such interests as cannot well be shown
through individual effort Out of the
500, 900 to be devoted to exhibits ne esti.
mates that SAG, 500 should be devoted to
Pennsylvania S natural products.
Iii the matter of manufactures and lead
ing industries he thinks, correctly, too,
that individuals and corporations may be
relied upon TO do themselves justice, with
out much assistance from the State
The Commissioners proposition toshow
working models of such representative
Pennsylvania objects as oil and gas wells,
together with miniature facsimiles OF
notable structures in the Commonwealth,
will be generally approved Suggestions
from Pittsburgers as to this city's contri-
button to the historical collection would
be timely.

ponderate in the papers, 1t is the boast
Of Americans that their newspapers are
the brightest and most readable in the
world for this very reason. What is a
more proper study for mankind than man?
When men and women meet in social con.
verse what do they talk about as q rule?
Metaphysics or the differentiation Of spe.
cies? Hardly. Nine-tenths of all human
conversation turns upon the doings
or the sayings of humanity. The sup
ply of personal news, furnished
orally or in the periodi Gals, does not
satisfy man. So the novelist comes to the
rescue with the record of fictitious person
alities. In America the craving for in
telligence of the worlds varied life is
keener and almost universal, because
mans tendencies and appetites are freer
from artificial checks.
The criticism of the European traveller
Is compliment, though unmeant 1t will
be sorry day when the free-born Amer
ican is denied the latest information about
his fellows on this terrestrial ball.

SILVER AND LEAD.
Valuable Deposits Unearthed in a Neigh-

Valuable Deposits Unearthed in a Noigh-
boring St,te.
MIDDLETowN, N Y, Dec. l0.-lt is alleged
that productive vein Of silver and lead
ores in combination. has been discovered in
Delaware county, near Cooks Falls station,
on the Ontario and Western Railroad. The
discovery was made by quarrymen, who
were at work opening q new bluestone
quarry on lands leased from. W. H. Johnston
and P. E. Horton. The bed Of bluestone
which they sought to reach was overlaid by
q stratum of what is known as transition
limestone.
In penetrating this covering it was noticed
that the blasts threw out chunks OF ore of
uncommon weight and having q bright
metallic luster. About 35 pounds of this ore
were sent to prominent New York assayer
for examination. He returned o report last
week to the effect that the mass yielded
silver at the rate OF 800 per ton, ana lead at
the rate of so per ton.
The receipt of this report and the further
discovery Of veins Of ore of similar
character on adjacent properties have set a
lively silver mining boom in progress among
the land owners of the neignborhood The
rough mountain lands which were Thought
to be dear ut $40 an acre are now held at
500 and upward. Several sllyer-mining
companies have been organized and their
articles of association filed in the Secretary
of States office at Albany, and there is
great scramble among speculaiors for
leases and options for mining claims.

TALK OF THE TOWN.

1--WE are having . lively time with our
street car companies in Chicago" said NJ.
C.. Bristol, who is high officer in the
Western Union Telegraph Company, with
headquarters in Chicago, yesterday, "and
the experiments that are likely to be made
in the way of legislation regulating these
corporations NAV be interesting to urban
residents everywhere. At present Chicago
is woefully deficient in means of rapid
transit; all the surface lines are ever
crowded. and the relief promised in the
shape of elevated roads is very slow COM
ing, so slow that see by to-day's papers
that Mayor Washburne has been empowered
by Councils to appoint a committee of Alder
men, citizens and street railroad representa-
tives to consider the situation and suggest
remedy. As 1t is now, curing the early
hours OF the morning, and again at night,
the street cars are so crowded that half the
people have to stand or hang on pre-
cariously to the platforms. Among the
measures proposed in Councils to force the
existing companies to put on more cars is
an ordinance making a street railway COM
pany liable to fine of so for every passen-
ger carried In excess Of the legal
quota; and another ordinance. with
the same intent. which forbids CON
who have to stand. NO seat no farer is
a popular cry in Chicago. A City Alderman
has introduced an ordinance empowering
the city to build and own street car lines,
the needful funds to be borrowed from the
owners Of abutting property upon the secur.
fty OF the tracks, But there are o hundred
schemes. and the only thing our city fathers,
the taxpayers and the travelling public are
agreed upon is that Chicago must have more
and better street car accommodations, and
that in hurry; If Chicagos rapid transit
system cannot handle the resident popula-
tion to-day, how can it stand the extra
pressure in the time of the Worlds Fair?

THE STATUS OF CHICAGo's FAIR.

When Dr. Depew and other distinguished
New Workers were in Chicago the other
day they visited the Worlds Fair grounds
and examined the buildings so far erected.
The impartiality of Depew in the premises
will be grantedas readily as his ability to
form correct judgment of the work done.
Since his return to New York he has pro-
claimed, to use the Iri5u'ae's words 'his
surprise and delight at the scope and
beauty of the design of the Exposition and
the skill and sagacity with which the man.
ayers are carrying it out" Thus Depew
and his companions, all level-headed bust
ness men, are convinced that the Exposi-
ton will be great triumph. The country
from quarter where Chicago's claims are
apt to be subjected to the severest scru-
tiny. THE DISPATCH has the satisfaction
of recalling that its readers had an oppor-
tunity to form the same conclusion three
months ago, when staff correspondent
described the progress of the Fair, the
beauties of the site, and the plans for the
future, in these columns.
The question of further national aid for
the Exposition will be brought before
Congress shortly, and Chicagoans have
right to expect the whole country to be
interested in its determination. The
Worlds Fair is national project, and if
it is necessary that the nation should con-
tribute more money to make the Fair
success by all means let it be done in good
time At the same time the nation has a
right to expect that the necessity for
further aid shall be made plain, and when
Congress takes the matter up the managers
should be ready to present an explicit
account of how the money has been spent
to date. 1t has been charged, or rather
insinuated, that the expenditure of funds
so far has been extravagant and wasteful;
that too much money is frittered away in
administration and promotion. When such
a sum as 100000 is asked for, even as a
loan, Congress is bound to be sure that the
investment is good one from national
point of view. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Depew's favorable attitude toward the
granting of the S., ,OO0, 900 will be taken by
Congress after a proper investigation of
the Fair management
