A Youthful Hero.


An interesting story is told in the
musty pages of an old war time Har.
pers Weekly in the Young Mems IL
brary association and it throws some
light on the question Of the youngest
veteran OF the Union army. Local
favor IS given to the story by the fact
that the person who IS entitled to this
unique distinction lives right here IN
Atlanta It is Captain John Glenn.
who come here a few yeors ago as
quarternaster Of the United states
army. succeeding Captain Jacobs
when the latter left Atlanta on the
completion of Fort Mcpherson.
Captain Glenn has since been pro-
NOTED and now has charge of the re-
sponsible work of direction and main
tenance Of the national cemeteries of
the South, the superintendent Of

Of Atlanta and since his few year,
residence here has become as much in

as any of the old timers.
The manner in which the Harper 5
Weekly story above referred to came
TO light was the outgrowth Of n in
teresting coincidence.
Captain Glenn lives in West Ed,
where he owns MS own residence, and
in coming to the city few days ago
on a West End car he engaged in con-
versation with friend. who was ac-
| comFanied by companion. Captain
Glenn was the first Of the trio to leave
the car and the companion Of mis-
friend remarked:

United States army" was the reply
Mighty young to be captain
isn't he?T said the companion
Not at all. He is veteran Of the
war. and was old enough to be a cap.
tain 20 years ago"
The companion doubted the proposi-
ton and thought that Captain Clern's
friend must be mistaken. A few days
afterwards while ia the Young Men S
library, looking over an old wartime
issue Of Harper's Weekly, which paid
special attention to illustrations from
the field. the companion Of Captain
Clem's friend was amazed to come
across picture of the boyish face of
the man whom ne had talked 10 a
short while before on the West End
car On seeing it and the article ac-
company:ng it, he no longer question
ed the statement Of Captain Clem's
being a Union veteran, bat was so
much pleased at the corroborating
discovery that he asked the Constitu-
ton to reproduce the article from an
1864 issue of Harper's Weekly, as
follows:

The most sensational championship In

place over the Clonskeagh course, near

unique feature of the five mile contest was
that the first 10 men past the post all broke
the previous best record Of "a minutes 5s
seconds, made by Champion Frank Nunns
over Baldoyle course In 1884 J.J. Mullen,
Elysian barriers, was the hero OF the race.
He bounded to the front when the pistol
cracked, and drawing away at every stride
reeled off the six accurately surveyed miles
in 32 minutes 80 Is seconds. His team az
gregated 81 points, but the Belfast barriers
fought out the issue so keenly that their
score made precisely the same total. The
northern cracks showed exceptional team
training. j. Small carried their colors into

The Patrol Judge scheme at Roby.

A new system of receiving information
from patrol judges is 70 be instituted At the
Roby track. near Chicago. At various po-
sitions along the course patrol boxes are to
be erected much the same asthe police pa
troll stations in the cities, says The Horse
man. Each will be provided with tele-
phones, communication with which will be
direct TO the judges stand. Each box will
be large enough TO contain the patrol judge,
and Immediately after the conclusion Of a
race he can send his report to the judges
without personal attendance at the stand.
In addition each of these men is to be
supplied with field glass, through which
he may observe the race from start to fin.
ish, and being stationary, with only COM
paratively short distance of the track to
watch over. he will be able to give much
more accurate information than IL seated
on a galloping horse. as has hitherto been
the custom. BY this means the telephone
messages will do away with much objeo-
tionable delay and will generally expedite
matters, and the protection afforded will
more than counterbalance the outlay. Prop
erly conducted, this scheme will be real
improvement in the management of a race
track

THE SUGAR FRAUDS
Warner Testifies at the
Investigation.
WAS RATHER DESULT0RY.
II is Said That HIS Testimony Was OF
a Sensational Nature.

WASHINGTON, June 2-In the course Of
the Sugar trust investigation every mem
ber Of the finance committee. In giving
testimony, acknowledged that he had
had interviews with both sugar planters
and refiners or their Representatives In
every case 10 was shown that the planters
urged specific duties. aud the reiners and
also Mr. Carlisle urged ad valorem duties
The planters who wanted specific duties
on their sugar were given ad valorem
rates on the raw product. The rehners
who wanted ad valorem rates on the re-
fined sugars were given specific rates.
1t Is claimed that the ad valorem rate
on the raw sugar works to the disadvan-
tage OF the producer in this country,
while the specific duty on the refined
sugar gives the reflner an absolute and
fixed amount, but not quite what he
would have had had the As per cent pro-
position gone through.
1t Is probable that from this time on
the reports Of the investigating commit
tee will not go To the senate with such
unanimity AS appeared in the report con-
cerning the recalcitrant corr espondeuts.
All the testimony ia the { se will be re-
ported TO the senate aud printed as fast as
practicable.
The investigating com mittee sp mt more
than an nOur yesteriay examining Con-
gresham John Dew q Warner with refer
ence 70 allegations that the Sugar trust
attempted 20 secure his vote while the
tariff bill was under discussion In the
house.
Although the members OF the commit
tee refuse To make any statement 'con-
corning the testimony of Mr. Warner, it
IL said that IL was Ut a rather sensational
sort, aud delivered in a most emphatic
manner.
Ii is understood that Mr.. Warner prac-
tically admitted the statements made in
the press that when he was making his
fight for free sugar ia the house the effort
was made TO causa MIN to desist. aud the
statement was made to him that IL was
desirable from political point OF view
that sugar should be given "a duty.
The committee endeavored to get Mr..
Warner to give the names of those who
were said 10 have made this statement To
him, but he declined. His mem bership
In the other body of congress makes him
a privileged witness, and one who comes
before the committee voluntarily.
The committee adjourned till Monday
next
