enthusiastic meetings were neld in the
chief cities and towns of the loyal States.
Among those one met in Galena, H., at
which Grant said: 81 am in for the war
and shall stay until this wicked rebellion
is crushed at the cannon's mouth"
In Grants first battle of the war he said
Don't fire until you see the enemy, and
then take good aim"
When the Confederate commander pro-
posed an armistice at Fort Donelson
Grant wrote: "No terms except an imme-
diate and unconditional surrender can be
accepted. I propose to move Immediately
upon your works." This message electri-
fed the North and made Grant central
figure in the group of Union generals.
At Shiloh Grant said to Sherman: "Re-
form your ranks and attack the enemy in
front at break of day. 1t is always an ad-
vantage to be the attacking party and we
must fire the first gun tomorrow morn
ing.''
AT Vicksburg Grant said to Pemberton /:
81 demand an unconditional surrender"
Alter the glorious victory at Chattanooga
Grant congratulated his troops in these
stirring words: "You dislodged him from
his great stronghold at Lookout Noun
tain; drove him from Chattanooga VAL
ley; wrested from his determined grasp
the possession of Mission Ridge; repelled
with heavy loss to him his repeated as
saults upon Knoxville, forcing him to
raise the siege there; driving him at all
points, utterly routed and discounted,
beyond the limits of the State.
In May. 1864, he said to Sherman:
''Rebel armies are now the strategic points
to strike. In a Communication to Meade
he wrote: "Lee's army will be your OBJ
jective point. Wherever Lees army goes
you will 90 also"
At the close of the first days fighting in
the Wilderness, with its heavy losses of
thousands killed, wounded or captured, a
young officer from distant part of the
battlefield presented himself, bringing
bad news and. gloomy countenance to
the chief; but nothing daunted or dis
heartened the indomitable Grant re.
piled: ''Its all right, Wilson. We move
forward at in the morning. We are GO
ing through; there is no doubt about :"
Later on he wrote the letter TO Halleck,
which contained the now famous sentence
II propose to fight it out on this line if it
takes all summer"

THE K0kESHANITY TROUBLE.
RGcy Developments in the Case of Editor
Hoyt Against the Alleged Hypno-
tier o fHJs Kjfe.

uZer THIS HTe.
HAVERHILL, MASS, April 81 The
famous case of Editor Hoyt of the Bulletin
against Mrs. DR.. Vienna Parsons-mora
popularly known as the "Koreshanity
ScandaP'-was heard before Judge Carr
penter to-day. Startling revelations re-
garding this mysterious religion were
made. Mr.. Hoyt charges Mrs. Parsons
with hypnotizing his wife and securing
goods on his credit. Mrs. Parsons re-
talitates by charging him with improper
relation with a woman not his wife. Ac-
threatened, as the devotee of Koreshanity
was discharged after making restitution OF
the goods in question.
Mrs. Parsons is one Of the victims of the
big Koreshanity fiasco in Florida. She
met DR.. Teed of Chicago, the originator
and leader of the new religion, at Mrs.
Hoyt's house, and claims to have given
him $4,000, her entire fortune. She then
went to Florida and joined the deluded
colony. Now she has returned penn iless,
like lots OF other women, all Uf whom
were more or less wealthy.
Koreshanity is nothing more nor less
than DIR. Teed. He is head of the church
and took all of the money. SinguIarly
enough, all of his flock were women.
He compelled them to take awful vows
OF submission and implicit obedience to
him, VOWS OF perpetual poverty, and to
actually worship him in ways which
would not bear publicity. Having Sc
cured all of their money, the worshlpful
Teed departed forever, leaving the pow
erty-stricken converts to beg their way
back to their homes as best they could.
1t is said that Teed landed in Boston,
the home of countless other isms and
creeds, and is still working on the cred
uIity o. some of the wealthy blue-stock-
inged women of the modern Athens. Mr..
Hoyt proposes to investigate further and
bring about an official expose of the re-
hgion in the courts, if possible.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 27.-No
action has yet been taken by District At
torney Davis toward enforcing the sem
tence passed upon Elverton Chapman, the
contumacious Sugar Trust witness who
was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and to
be imprisoned for thirty days. The Dis
trict Attorney has not yet had an oppor-
tunity to read the decision of the Supreme
Court denying the petition for release, as
the opinion has not been released by the
court. 1t is thought that Davis will en-
force the sentence and then bring the re-
naming efendants-Havemeye Sey-
mour, Searles, Mccartney, Schriver and
Edwards-to trial. Counsel for these
claim that their cases cannot be brought
within the terms of the Supreme Court
decision. but the Chapman case has all
along been held to be test one, and it is
believed that the President will not grant
an application for pardon.

by the ice or swamped by heavy storms

the disaster. All hope has been virtually
