mander for the army OF the Potomac mis-
take would not have been made had he been
selected.
General Joseph Wheeler. member of con-
gress from Alabama, is physically small,
nervous looking man, but there his small
ness ends. He was born in Georgia, in 1886,
and educated at West Point When the war
broke out he went with his state, and rose to
be the ablest cavalry leader of the Confeder-
acy in the West. He is a man of fine intel
lect and has broadened very much in his
views. He is great favorite with his politi-
cal opponents and with the men against
whom he fought so CALAMITY, and than this
there could be no better test of his man
hood.
General Matt Whitaker Ransom, senator
since 1872, from North Carolina, where he was
born it 1926. is another distinguished Con-
federate He was trained for the bar He
was colonel of the Thirty-f1rst North Carolina,
and rose to the rank of major general. He is
a very handsome man, and unlike many
Southern members, he is far larger than his
state.
Commodore Thomas Oliver Selfridge, who
was on board the Cumberland when the Mer-
rimac rammed her down, is one of our
prominent social figures. He is still COM
paratively young man. being born in Penn
sylyania in 1887 and educated at Annapolis.
General Daniel Henry Rucker, General Sheri-
dams father-in-law, is one of our picturesque
figures. He was born in 1912 and appointed
to the army from civil life.
General Robert Williams was born in 1929
in Virginia, and educated at West Point. Al
though retired, he would be able to take the
field for new campaign tomorrow. He is
married to the once beautiful and still charm
ing widow of Stephen A. Douglass.
We must not forget gallant General John
NJ. Palmer, the tM'' stands for ''McCauley,''
who was born in 1917. He was one of our
most distinguished volunteer soldiers, and is
to-day one of our ablest statesmen.

sserne time in the Senate and both wear arti.
fetal legs. General Hampton lost his while
hunting in 1878. He was born in 1918. edu-
Gated at the same college as Butler, and
studied the same profession. General Hamp-
ton Is now a railroad commissioner, and is
still as handsome and gallant if not as active
and romantic as when he led the legion that
bore his name and did such gallant service
for the Confederacy. The Nestor Of army
men in Washington and the prince of good
fellows is General Stewart Van Viet. There
are middle-aged men who cannot recall when
General Van Vliet's hair and beard were not
white. He looked thirty years ago as he does
now and it would seem as if Time and he
had called truce The army record tells
US he was born in 1916 and educated at West
Point, SO that he has been long retired.
but we should not doubt his word if he said
he was born at the beginning or in the mid
die of the century. General Van Vliet has
been all his military life staff officer. He
was great favorite with General Grant, but
then he is favorite with every man, woman
and child that knows him.
The veteran Of the navy is Rear Admiral
John J. Amy, who was born in Rhode Island
in 1914, and was appointed midshipman in
1929. He has been active in all our wars
since he entered the service. He has sailed
in every sea, and in every position ne has
done the full measure of his duty. His years
are against his being socially active, yet he is
as genial and full OF hope as when he was
lieutenant. fifty years ago.
Every infantry man, and particularly every
trooper who served with the army Of the Po-
tomac, will recall General Alfred Pleasonton.
He was the one man who could come back
from trying raid. when every one else was
ragged and dirty, with his dainty hands en-
cased in kids, his riding whip stuck in his
well-polished riding boots and looking as if
s:just fixed to be photographed" yet when
there was fighting to do the beau sabreur was
Point. He has been retired for several years,
alwas on hand. He was born here il Wash
ington,, in 1924, and educated at West
and although as handsome and careful of his
person as formerly, his splendid animal spir-
its seem to have departed.
So long as naval history interests human
ity, so long the story of the fight between the
Monitor and the Merrimac will be recalled,
and so long readers viii thrill at mention or
sight OF the name Of Rear-Admiral John Lor-
rimer Worden. He was born in Westchester
county, \. Y, in 1918, and was appointed
midshipman in '35. He has never fully re-
covered his hearing since the fight that made
him famous and saved our feet. He was re-

from the South delight more in exploiting
their military rank, real or assumed, than do
the men Of the North, though our fellow citi-
zens from the wild and woolly West run them
good second in the race for this sort of dis
tinction.
At the headquarters of the army and navy
one sees more of the distinguished men of
both in Washington than in any other city.
They are always brilliantly in evidence at the
many receptions, and they give color to the
more formal festivities at the White House
and the annual balls Of the ambassadors
But the American, unlike the German officer,
takes no delight in his uniform, and only
wears it when the occasion demands it.
Now, as during the war, some of the most
distinguished, or, perhaps, it would be more
accurate to say, some of the ablest army
officers are swallowed up in the staff. In
noting the famous military men in Washing
ton at this time one naturally turns to John
McAllister Schofeld, the present commander
of the army. General Schofield was born in
Chatauqua, n. Y, September IS, 1881. He was
educated at West Point and had as class
mates Slocum, Sheridan, Mcpherson and
Hood, who subsequently became famous in
turn, and was appointed professor of natural
philosophy at the West Point Academy,
which position he occupied at the breaking
out of the war in 1861. His first service DUR
ing the contest was as chief of staff to General
Lyon, who was killed at Springfield, No. Sub
sequently Schofeld was appointed as COM
mander of a brigade and distinguished him
self against Sterling Price and other Southern
leaders in Missouri and Arkansas. In 1868
he was appointed major general and assigned
to the command of a division in the Army of
Ohio. He served with Sherman during the
Atlanta campaign and with Thomas at Nash
vile in the series of battles that resulted in
the destruction of Hoods army After the
war General Schofield commanded the depart
ments of the Pacific Of the Missouri, and of
the Atlantic, and on the death of General
Sherman was placed at the head of the army.
ago his second wife, a. beautiful and accom-
plished woman, who with himself, is great
social favorite in Washington society.
Apart from General Schofield, whose posi-
ton at the head of the army entities him to
first mention, 1 shall not attempt to name
the distinguished military men one meets in
Washington, in the order of their import
ance. There is frequently seen on our streets
Gen. William Buel Franklin, still erect, stur-
dy and forcible as he was when he held the
enemy in check at Malvern Hill. General
Franklin was born at York, Pa, in 1923, and
educated at West Point. He distinguished
himself in the Mexican war, and at the break
ing out of the civil war was appointed col
onel Of the 18th infantry. Up to 1868 he was
one of the most distinguished officers of the
Army of the Potomac. In the fall Of that

An Easy Trick.

Anybody with loose sleeves and cuffs can
do the very simplest piece of legerdemain,
so easily that it is a wonder that anyone can
be deceived by it. A half hours practice will
enable anyone to do it. 1 have often taken
half dollar, and holding it open in my palm,
would blow upon it. Then putting the palms
together, with the hands upright, about on a
line with my face, would rub them together
and then opening them request to or three of
the children to breathe upon it. Then rub
bling the hands together would pretend to
blow into the opening between the palms, and
then opening them slightly the half dollar
glides down the interior of the wrist and
rests at the elbow. AS I did this, would
look as if saw the half dollar disappearing
through door or window, and the audience
would follow with their glances, to see
where it had gone. 1t was really funny to
see how surprised the lockers on were, as I
acted out the fight of the money. Lowering
my arms. the money slips down in the hand
and can easily be disposed of.

TOMBSTONE IN THE OLD DAYS.
An Arizona Town That Once Was
Worthy of Its Name.
COW THIEVES AGAINST STAGE ROBBERS.
How the Earps Were Driven Out of
the Town at the Point of the
Pistol and the Romance and
TRAGEDY That Followed Their
Expulsion.

TOMBSTONE, ARR, April 2.-The glory OF
Tombstone has departed and the Tough Nut,
Contention and score of other mines are no
longer fountains of wealth as they were
dozen years or so ago, but the town is still an
interesting one and the tales of the early days
told by its old inhabitants more interesting
still. The Bird Cage opera house, now fallen
on evil days, was the most popular resort in
Tombstone from 1879 to 1882. Billy Hutch
inson, character in his way, was its pro-
prietor, and its doors swung wide open 365
days in the year. 1t was the headquarters of
all the bloods of Tombstone and between
eight at night and five in the morning it was
one of the liveliest institutions in the Western
country. There was an excellent variety
troupe always maintained, and the bar gener-
ally gave employment to three bartenders
twenty-four hours daily. The Bird Cage was
the soul of Tombstone at night. If you
wanted to meet a leading lawyer, mine or
mill superintendent, the sheriff of the county,
the chief of police, the mayor of the city, the
editor of any of the daily papers, or any of
the bright particular stars OF desperadodom,
the chances are that if you penetrated the
Bird Cage you would have found them. AS a
general rule all the male population of Tomb
stone not otherwise engaged spent the night
at the Bird Cage.
In 1880 Virgil carp was the city marshal
and John 81. Behan was the sheriff of the
county. Between these two officials there
was deadly feud. Behan was an honest
man, good official, and possessed many of
the attributes of a gentleman. carp was
the head of a band OF desperadoes. g partner
OF stage robbers and friend of gamblers and
professional killers. It was the custom that
the friends OF Behan should occupy the boxes
on the right OF the stage and that Earp's fol-
lowers and friends should hold the boxes on
the left of the stage. What pleased the Behan
people was certain to displease the carp peo-
pie, and if applause or dissent on one side or
the other became too enthusiastic shooting
was sure to ensue. Behan was thorough
bred. He would fight buzz-saw in full mo-
ton, and after doing up his worst enemy he
would give him his last cent if the PROSTATE
foe needed it. Virgil carp was equally brave,
but he was dishonest. Virgil was the oldest
of the famous, or rather Infamous, carp fam
lily. At that time the people of Cochise
county, of which Tombstone was the county
seat, were in reality divided between two
factions-the stage robbers and COW robbers.
The current name for the stock thieves was
the rustlers, while the stage robbers were
known as such.
Sheriff Behan though not cowboy or a
rustler himself, Was solidly supported by the

Heis one of the most delightful men socially.
though like all true heroes, he is opposed to
posing as one.
There is tall, erect figure that always at
tracts attention on our streets when the
senate is in session. The scar on the face
and the bearing stamp him at once as a SOL
der and a leader of men. This is General
John Brown Gordon, senator from Georgia.
he was born in the state he represents so
well in 1882, and was educated for the bar.
At the beginning of the Civil War he went in
as colonel and came out at Appomattox,
lieutenant general and second in command
to Lee, whom he loved and served so well.
He has been governor of Georgia, and was
senator before, but resigned because of his
poverty. he is religious man, yet this does
prevent his being prominent in the society of
the capital, where he and his family are very
popular.
We have with US General Eugene A. Carr
who is great favorite, not only with army
men, but with all who have the good fortune
to know him, and the good taste to appreciate
courage, culture and generosity General
Carr Was born in Erie County, N Y, in 1880,
and stood high at West Point. Before the
rebellion, he distinguished himself against
the Apaches and was severely wounded. In
81 he took command of the 30th Illinois. and
soon rose to be brigadier general. He
commanded division in Grants campaign,
and led the great assault against vicksburg.
He subsequently served beyond the Missis-
sippi, and after the Civil War saw much SER
vice against the Indians.
General George Washington Getty is name
well and honorably known to the survivors Of
the Army Of the Potomac He lives in Mary
land not far from the capital, where he is
sometimes seen, looking like sturdy, we'll
do farmer. He is seventy-six years OF age,
but he does not look it. He was born in
Georgetown, D. c., and educated at West
Point. He served CALAMITY with Scott in
Mexico, and although he was too modest to
assert himself, those who knew his marked
abilities believed at time when the authori-
ties had search warrant out to find COM

year he was sent to Louisiana, and it was his
skill that saved the Red River expedition
from disaster. He resigned from the army
in 1866, and was appointed to the manage
ment of the Colts Arms Manufacturing Co.,
at Springfield, Mass, a position which he
still occupies. He is president of the Nation
al Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, and
except that his beard and hair are gray, no
one would take him to be more than fifty
yeas of age.
Although not the most distinguished of our
volunteer officers. Gen. Waiter Quinton
Gresham to-day is the second man of impor-
lance in Washington, for he is the head Of

was born in Indiana in 1882, and educated as
a lawyer. He entere4 the army as colonel of

cowboys, the ranchmen and the wandering
cavaliers who had nothing to-day, but were
possessed of their neighbours live stock to-
morrow. The connection of the Earps with
the stage robbers was matter of question,
suggestion and suspicion for some time.
About the beginning of 1882, however, the po-
Sition of the Earps was brought out straight.
Fhe agent of Wells, Fargo & Co. in Tombstone
vas named Barshall Williams. The latter and
the Earps were great friends. They ate to-
gether, played together. fought and killed
side by side and were chums at all times.
The agent of the express company at Tomb
stone was the only man in the settlement who
knew to certainty the value of the freight
that left Tombstone on the stage. 1t hap
pened that the stage was never attacked and
robbed only when the booty was considerable.
This, of course, engendered some talk, but
nobody could prove anything. Agent Will
Gams and the Earps were like two brothers;
Virgil carp was the city marshal of Tomb
stone, his brother, Wyatt, was the boss killer
Of the region, and another brother, Warren,
was the chief express guard on board stages
carrying valuable express freight between
Tombstone and the railroad station at Con-
1t was whenever there was anything worth
taking on board, the city marshal of Tomb
stone and his brothers always organized
posse to pursue the robbers. This was
profitable employment for the Earps and very
expensive for the express company. -1~s
1t was discovered after while that Agent
Williams and the Earps had formed COM
bine for express robbery. Whenever the
agent had valuable consignment of bullion
or currency he gave Virgil carp the tip, and
he posted his trusty and reliable men along
the road; and his brother Warren, on the
stage front as guard, was careful to be caught
80 that he had to obey an order to throw up
his hands when ordered. It was an interest
ing enterprise. The agent. partner Of the
thieves, piped of the booty to the thieves,
and when the robbery was effected, the
thieves were entrusted with the capture of
themselves. Of course, the Earps always put
the blame Of the robberies on the rustlers.
This was properly resented by the rustlers,
