Showed Lack OF Sense.

In a biographical sketch Of the late
DR.. McCosh that appears in the Prince
ton Bulletin it is stated that on one oc-
casion visiting clergyman, while con-
Quoting evening chapel service, made
an elaborate prayer, including in his
petitions all the officers of the college,
arranged in order. from president to
trustees, professors and tutors. There
was great applause at the last item. At
the faculty meeting Immediately after
the service DR.. McCosh, in commenting
upon the disorder, aptly remarked,
"He should have had more sense than
to pray for the tutors.

a Union soldier who was killed and

and friends
Few tales of fiction approach in in
terest this romance of real Enoch Ar
den, whom cruel fate relegated to a
penitentiary.
On April 6, 1862, William Newly,
private in an Illinois regiment, was
killed and buried on the field Of Shiloh.
At all events, no question of the fact
was raised for nearly 80 years. He left
in the town of Carmi, Ills, widow
and a mother.
Nearly four years ago a man walked
into Carmi, hatless and by no means
we'll clad, and announced that he was
Newly, the lost soldier. Nobody recog-
nized him at first, and this was not sur
prising after such lapse of time. But
he talked with old residents of the place
and recalled so many antewar incidents,
with "reminiscences of persons and
places, that finally they were convinced
of his idertity. He explained that he
had been shot in the head and left Oh
the battlefield. Afterward he recovered
consciousness and was made prisoner,
being taken to Libby prison.
Being partly deprived Of reason by
his wound, he spent many years in

southern poorhouses until at length he
landed in the almshouse at Taylors
Vile, Ills, where he came to himself
again and remembered who he was.
Now, it is quite true that he was for
a time in the almshouse at Taylorsville.
There he met an old man named Joseph
Newly, brother of the William who
fought at Shiloh.
This aged pauper was rather garru-
lous and had many stories to impart
about his brother William, the history
of the family. incidents respecting old
residents Of Carmi and it's neighbor.
hood, etc. Incidentally it was made to
appear that William, if he were alive,
would be entitled to $40, 900 in pension
arrears.
The new acquaintance listened until
he was chock full of information. Then
he declared to the astonished Joseph
that he was in very truth his long lost
brother, William Newly.
This part Of the story did not come
out until later. Meanwhile friendly
citizens of Carmi sent to Tennessee for
William Newby's wife. She came, but
at first repudiated the alleged lost SOL
dier. Nevertheless he succeeded in per-
suading her fully of his identity, while
his supposed mother recognized him al
most Immediately as her son.
Presumably there would never have
been any further dispute in the matter,
and the sol disant Newly would have
received the $50, 900 pension money for
which he at once applied had it not
been that he was accidentally recognized
by an ex-convict, who declared that he
had met him in the penitentiary at
Nashville, where he was known as
Rickety Dan Benton and was serving
an IS years sentence for horse stealing.
This caused an investigation. Thomas
H. Mcbride, one of the most expert
officers in the employ of the pension
Office, was sent to look the matter up.
He traced the history of Dan Benton

not cross without danger to himself

spike the guns of the outsiders, who
have just opened the engagement in
that section of the boards jurisdic-
ton. 1t is the desire of the general
writers of the Pacific, that these local
boards should be completed, and this
desire is shared by the general man
ayers of the companies which have
stayed with the compact during the
struggle of the past three months.
No conservative company has any de-
sire to engage in this cutting and
slaShing business, and they will not
Go so unless forced to that end by
stress of circumstances. Down on the
coast the fight has been extremely Bit
ter. and the local companies, or a
good many of them at least, have
come TO the conclusion that their in
terests will be best subserved Through
their taking an independent course,
and as a result the ranks of the board
are being greatly thinned out. Now
that some of the English companies
have taken the same stand, the stu
the indications are that the compact
will go TO pieces within the next ten
days. However, be that as it may,
the Utah loyal agents will not inau-
gurate a. fight. unless in the future a
sa2guinary conflict should be decided
upon by the local boards as being the
best remedy for existing evils.
Captain Donnell yesterday afternoon
met the majority of the union agents
of this city, at the regular meeting of
the local board of underwriters. and
there informed the gentlemen Of the
