AuuVNnwNM TvTvY foOf


SIR: am directed by the Secretary Of the
Interior to acknowledge the receipt Of your
letter Of the 18th inst, to che President and by
him referred here, asking for cancellation Of q
land patent Zone Of tlOO, sirll in the name of
John 8. Goddard, and to inform you that the
same has been referred to the Commissioner
of the General Land Office Very respectfully,
E. M. DAWSON,
Chief Clerk.
That settled it. The 1890 patent No.
2 business of Lawyer Harrison and
President Harrison, In the case Of John
s. Goddard, was too delicate a matter
to deal with. Like the settlers petition
for the enforcement of certain laws,
there was politics in 1t and must, there
fore, in the interest of the dominant
party, be pigeonholed.

Harrison in 1890 to John s. Goddard

whatever. There would be nothing
gained by that procedure. But it was
intended that something should be

A True Gentleman.

One of the highest encomiums that
can be pronounced upon any young
man worthy of it is to say that he is
true gentleman. There is a word of
meaning in the term. 1t means more
than mere politeness. 1t is more than
strict conformity to written rules of
the best fashionable etiquette. One
may be faultless in his adherence to
the best form of social behavior, and
vet lack much of the true gentleman.
The true gentleman is the soul of hon
or, is beautifully candid, is deeply con-
siderate of the rights of others, is quick
to acknowledge his own faults rather
than lay them on others, and consult
the good of others, rather than seek
his own preferment. The true gentle
man is known by his strict sense of
honor, by his sympathy, his gentle
ness, his forbearance and his generosi-
ty. He is essentially q man Of truth,
speaking and doing right at all times,
not merely in private behavior.
Truthfulness is moral transparency.
Hence the true gentleman promises
nothing he has not the means of per-
forming. He never breaks his word,
for he scorns TO lie, in word or deed,
and is ready to brave all consequences
rather than debase himself by false
hood. No dishonest man is a true
nor is he who purposely
takes advantage of another, whether
the latter be a foe or friend. The
true gentleman does by others as he
would have others do by him.

impressed her. She could not Danish
from her mind the words "curfew must
not ring tonight" ." The inspiration to
write came when she was in the school
room, attempting to solve mathemat-
ical problem. Sweeping the prosaic fig
ures from her slate she wrote ENG
lands sun was setting,' etc., and the
poem was soon completed. 1t was first
published in 1870 in the Detroit Com
mercial Advertiser over the signature OF
Rose Hartwick. The editor wrote her a
letter of thanks, which is all the remu-
neration she has ever received for the
poem, though it has been printed in
thousands of publications in this coun-
try and England and been declaimed by
legions of youthful orators on two coll
tinents.
Mrs. Thorpe is all attractive woman,
tall and slender, with dark brown eyes
and hair. She was married in 1871 to
Edmund G. Thorpe. Hillsdale (Mich. }
college conferred the honorary degree Of
master of arts upon her in 1888. The
family now reside at Pacific Beach, San
Diego, Cal, where they are pleasantly
domiciled in a charming home called
Rosemere.

About 500, 900 men were borne upon the
rolls of these 800 regiments, first and last,
but the grand total Of 220, 2S7 casualties by
wounds and death may be taken to repre-
sent the sufferings of 400, 900 soldiers Sc
tually engaged in arduous and dangerous
field service. Adding the number disabled
by disease and prison hardships, the entire
enrolment would show a list Of casualties
far exceeding 81 per cent
The inference may be drawn from these
official figures that with areasonble allow
ance for other forms Of disability incurred
in the prosecution Of the war there were at
least 1000, 900 victims out Of about 3, O00,- =
900 on the army rolls. There were 200, 900
desertions, some few possibly figuring IN
the classes enumerated above, but as
rulo the deserters became such before they
had done substantial service, and it would
be fair to deduct them from the grand to-
tai. (They do not figure on the pension roll
nor in the ranks of the Grand Ar1ny.) The
veterans who brought home these service
scars from the field, from swamp and fever
pen, are members of the Grand Army,
400 900 Of them. OF the hundreds of
thousands not now In the order the major
ity have been and for reasons not discred-
liable to themselves nor to their comrades
rs good soldiers have ceased to belong.
The order represents the battle SCARED,
who, with the martyred dead, saved the
nation. g. Z. LENNox.

government will expend $40, 900 In see
ing to it that its officials are properly
The bill appropriating this
sum was prepared by General Wheeler
of Alabama, who commanded Confed-
crate battery at Chickamauga. 1t was
presented by General Grosvenor Of Ohio,
who was ON the field on the Federal side.
The only private monument as yet
provided for is now being built at Hart
ford to commemorate the bravery Of
George W. Landrum, a lieutenant OF
the Second Ohio. 1t will be erected by
the sister of the deceased, Mrs. Obed J.
Wilson of Cincinnati.
The handsomest monument is the
memorial on Snodgrass hill to the Sec
ond regiment of Minnesota. The most
striking feature of this monument is a
group of three figures in bronze of rath-
er more than life size, representing the
color guard III action. The central fig
ure, standing, represents the standard
bearer himself. At one side there is
kneeling figure with hand pressing a
wounded breast. On the other side there
is figure STOPPING with gun in posi-
tion for defending the flag.
The coming reunion will furnish oc-
casion for the recital of many reminis-
cences Of wartime days, and these rem
iniscences will, no doubt, include hu-
morous as well as tragic incidents, for
the ridiculous often follows closely up
on the heroic. Here is one oft told story
that will probably be repeated with
many variations. 1t was at Chickamau
ga that western and eastern soldiers first
fought together in the army of the Con-
federacy, and men from each section
had before this believed themselves su-
perior to men from the other section.
On the second day of the fight Long
streets men went into battle. AS they
did so they passed lot of the Tennessee
troops who were waiting for orders.
"Lie down, Tennesseeans, and see
the Georgians go in" called out one of
Longstreets officers as Kershaw's and
Humphreys brigades attacked Snod-
grass hill. A half hour later, when the
Georgians came back, vainly trying to
pull themselves together and reform
their lines, one of Stewards officers said,
"Rise up, Tennesseeans, and see the
Georgians come out" In spite of the
absorbing and awful nature of the stu
alton this brought out hearty laugh
from those who heard it.

tysburg, yet very much has been done,
and those who visit Chickamauga for
the first time on the days of the coming
celebration will, no doubt, be greatly
surprised at the extent of the work.
According to the last report of Secre-
tary Lamont, the park now contains
5,521 acres. One thousand more acres
are to be added, and were it not for the.
exorbitant prices asked by the owners OF
adjacent lands still more would be
bought. Forty-one miles of road have
been built, and state commissions and
committee from the Society Of the Ar
my of the Tennessee have been occupied
for months in locating the lines Of bat
tie. Troops from the following states
took part in the engagements commemo-
rated: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois,, Indiana, Iowa, Ken
tucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
New Jersey, New York, North Carroll
ma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wiscon-
sin. Nearly all of these states have ap-
pointed commissions, and it is expected
the legislatures of all will eventually
take proper action.
The establishment Of the park was
authorized by act of congress i'll August,
1890. In commendable spirit of pa
triotic cooperation the state of Georgia
has ceded jurisdiction over the Chicka-
mauga field and the roads approaching
it to the general government, and the
state of Tennessee has ceded jurisdiction
over the roads across Lookout mountain,
through the "above the Clouds battle
field, the road thence to RoSSville and
the road from Rossville along the crest
of Missionary ridge to General Sher-
mans position on the north end thereof.
The government has purchased Orchard
knob, where the headquarters OF Gener-
ais Grant and Thomas were located on
the third day, and also that part of Mis-
sionary ridge where General Bragg's
headquarters were situated. Five OBJ
seryation towers of iron and steel, each
70 feet high, have been erected by the
government-two OH Missionary ridge
and three on the field of Chickamauga.
Two thousand cast iron tablets, each
marking some important event, have
been set up. Each of these is 4 by
8 feet in size and bears an inscrlp-
ton in plain white letters embossed on
q black background. These tablets deal
impartially with the men of the north
and south, the inscriptions indicating
the headquarters, positions and charges
during the various fights. Seventy guns
mounted OH carriages, such as were used
in the battles, indicate the principal po-
sitions occupied by the batteries at
Chickamauga. Eight pyramids of heavy
shells, each 10 feet high, have been
erected to show where brigade COM
manders, both Union and Confederate,
were killed. The eight commanders
thus commemorated were Brigadier Gen
eral W. II. Lytle, .. S. A, command
ing the first brigade of Sheridan's divi-
sion, killed Sept. 90; Colonel Philemon
p. Baldwin, U. S. A, commanding a
brigade in Johnson's division, killed
Sept. 10; Colonel Edward A. King, U.
S. A., commanding a brigade of Rey,
nolds' division, killed Sept. 20; Colonel
Hands c. Heg, commanding brigade
of Davis division, mortally wounded

the Cumberland Daily News Publish
ing company.
In 1872 he was elected to the Forty
third congress from the Sixth Maryland
district. He was then but % years Of
age, and though the youngest member
of the house served upon several of the
most important committees. he was a
strong and able supporter Of President
Grants administration while in con-
gress and was delegate at large to the
national convention in Chicago which
nominated James A. Garfield.

A FAMOUS POEM.
Interesting Facts About the Author o.
"Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight"

Interesting Facts About the Author OF
"Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight"
The million more or less Of schoolboys
and girls past and present who have be-
gun their elocutionary efforts with the
recitation of "Curfew Must Not Ring
Tonight" will be specially interested in
something about the author of the poem
and how she came to write it. The au-
thor is Mrs. Rose Hartwick Thorpe.
Mrs. Thorpe was born at Mishawaka,
Ind, in 1850, and was the daughter of
William Hartwick. In 1861 the fam
lily moved to Litchfeld, Mich. Her
parents were poor, and her childhood
and young womanhood were passed in
dull and prosaic atmosphere, and there
was nothing in her early education or
surroundings to "charm the muses." or
kindle the fires of poesy.
Mrs. Thorpe wrote "Curfew," her
best and most widely known production,
when she was 16 years old. This was
in 1867. Some copies of Peterson's Mag
azine had come into her possession. In
one Of these she found the story Of Bes-
sic and her lover. The thrilling incident
of the brave young English girl deeply

Care OF Shoes.

Water is the worst enemy of the
boot or shoe, making it harsh, rough,
and painful to the foot. The cause of
this trouble is that the leather shrinks
and hardens in drying; but this may be
avoided by little care. On good au-
thority it is said that if wet or damp
shoe be taken off on coming into the
house, and filled with oats, the grain
will absorb the moisture, while at the
same time, by swelling gently, it will
prevent the shoe from shrinking and
losing its shape. This is a standard
treatment among the farmers, and is
equally as effective in the case of ladies
fine shoes as with their heavy boots.
Where shoes have become hard and
dry, the natural tone of the leather
may be restored by the application of
paraffine-for which vaseline forms a
handy and very effective substitute.

in this direction than any other state.
1t will thus be seen that this magnltl-
cent park will be amply furnished with
memorial objects. Not only is it the
most extensive military memorial and
object lesson in the world, but, every
thing considered, the engagements it
commentaries were among the most
important Of the entire struggles be-
tween the north and the south. They
include the battle of Chickanauga, one
of the bloodiest of modern times, which
took place on Sept. 10, 20 and 2l,
1868, just 32 years before the time set
for the coming celebration; the scarcely
less sanguinary engagement of Mission
ary Ridge and the subsequent battles
at Lookout Mountain, Orchard Knob,
Browns Ferry and Wauhatchie.
The battle of Chickamauga was
Confederate victory, but the engage
ment of Missionary Ridge, which closed
the series of fights III the immediate vi
cinity of Chattanooga, caused the cam
paign as a whole to result i'll Federal
triumph. This occurred on Nov. 25, a
little more than two months after the
battle of Chickamauga, and was much
more sweeping victory, owing to the
uncomfortable zeal of the Federal troops,
than their commanders had thought pos
sible. 1t is not feasible in so brief an
article as the present to recount IN So
quence the thrilling military events OF
the fateful two months of 1868 that are
shortly to be celebrated, and every stu
dent of civil war history is already IA
miliar with the records. 1t may be re-
called, however, that of the entire Sc
ries of engagements the. concluding one
at Missionary Ridge was the most spec
tacular, Us the opening one at Chicka-
mauga was the most sanguinary of the
entire campaign. The average losses on
each side at Chickamauga on the part
of the troops which fought through two
days were fully 33 per cent, and some
portions on each side suffered losses as
high as from so to IS per cent.

the most interesting nature. They will
begin few days after the close of the
G. A. R. encampment at Louisville,
and many attending the encampment
will go directly from there to Chatta-
nooga. 1t is believed that the attend
ance will largely exceed that which has
been brought out at any other similar
gathering since the work Of memorial
izing' the events Of the civil war was
begun. In recognition of the significant
fact that the monuments of the blue and
the gray stand side by side the attend
ance from the south will be as large as
from the north-perhaps larger.

tions of state militia and regulars will
