from Gov. Letcher. When officially or
dered he led the troops to Harper's Ferry,
where he quartered them, and then pro-
ceeded to Richmond, where he sought the
governors consent to his resignation in
favor of Maj. Preston, his brother-in"
law, who was anxious to take command.
My brother desired to return to his du-
ties at the academy. He had the tastes
of the scholar, and student life was more
congenial to him than carnage.
"Gov. fletcher declined to accept his
resignation. You are the only man,
said he, that has seen SERVICE, and we
can't spare you
"A convention was held at Richmond
in 1861 for the purpose of taking vote
to see whether the State should secede or
remain in the Union. I had many let
tiers from Thomas at that time urging
me to persuade my husband and neigh
bors to exert their influence In favor of
union. kept this correspondence for
many years in an iron box. To my dis
may one day in opening the box | found
that the letters had disappeared. l have
never been able to recover them. In one
letter he wrote IF western Virginia
stands firm to the Union it may save the
eastern part of the State The Rich
mond convention was controlled by mob
of SEQ men, who intimidated the people
into espousing the cause of secession.
1.-THE State was two-thirds loyal, but
force was too much for the union side,
and she seeded. My brother was then a
colonel in command of regiment in the
Shenandoah Valley. One company, can
vassed at this time, voted for the Union,
with the exception of six men. This
Union vote included jackson and all the
officers in his command.
"That Gen. Jaoksons sympathies were
entirely with the Union was well
known" asserts Mrs. Arnold. "to all
his friends and associates.
+" If we are in the right, he said to q
friend at Harpsr's Ferry, God will pros
per our cause, but 1t we are in the wrong
it will come to naught."
Sin his last letter to me Thomas said
DON'T think of crossing the lines, my
sister, till this cruel war is over.
SIT was his belief in State rights"
concluded Mrs. Arnold, THAT placed
Thomas Jackson in the Confederate
army"
Excepting Gen. Jackson's second wife,
who was about 80 at the time of his death
in 1868, and who still lives in modest
home in Charlotte, N. c., Mrs. Arnold
is the last of Stonewall Jackson's family.
When her health permits Mrs. Arnold
spends the summers in her native noun

unanimously elected an honorary men,

the exception of Mrs. r. B. Hayes, she is
the only woman who has held member

The man down in Waterville who sem
the telegram to Bryan, calling attention
to the cotton mill strikes. has probably
got all he wanted-a little ephemeral
notoriety and letter from Bryan to
carry in his vest pocket to show people.
1t is notable that in his letter Mr.. Bryan
is more cautious than he used ito be-
He seems to admit that before one can
pronounce Judgment he ought to know
something about the facts. Time was
when Mr.. Bryan regarded facts as of no
consequence. Indeed, the chief corner
Stone of his science of finance used to be
that knowledge on the subject disqual1-
fed men for dealing with it, and that the
people best fitted to lay the foundation
of our currency and erect the super
structure were those whose only knowledge
on the subject was what they got from
"Coin" Harvey's book. 1t Is gratifying
to see that Mr.. Byran is manifestlng
disposition to inquire into facts and not
rely entirely upon the wild notions that
we'll I'D from his inner consciousness.
But there is great danger if he goes on
this way he may become "gold bug.
The stir that was caused in London by
the rumor that the government had
backed down in the matter Of making

criticisms of the press have finally
forced she ministry to break its silence.
Speaking at Leeds Friday evenings Mr..
Gerald Balfour, chief secretary for Ire

ly denied it. sit was not true" he said,
e'that the government had departed in
the smallest particular from it's declared
policy in the far east, or that it had, in
consequence of pressure, yielded single
one of England's just claims. The gov
eminent still adhered to the policy which
had been clearly stated by more than one
cabinet minister Mr.. Balfour said that
the government did not desire to possess
any of China's territory except such
points as might be necessary for strate-
gical purposes, the reason heing that they
did not desire to have a second India
on its hands. Mr.. Balfour's statement
has not, however, appeased the wrath of
even the Conservatives, the Standard, a
Tory organ, finding it evasive and lacking
In frankness. AS Parliament will soon be
in session doubtless the facts will come
out whether, the government desires that
they should or not.

The City of Berlin is situated in Coos County,
New Hampshire, ON the Androscoggin River,
which furnishes at this point one of the finest
water powers in New England.
The Boston & Maine and Grand Trunk Rail
roads give ample facilities.
The large Plants of the Berlin Mills Co., the
Burgess sulphite Fibre Company and the Glen
Co. are located at Berlin
In 1880 Berlin had population of HOO, in
1890 the population was 1929, in 1895 1881 and is
now estimated to be over 5000
In 1895 the Berlin Mills Company employed
$50 men. the Glen Co. 400. the Burgess Sulphite
Fibre Company 125 and other smaller concerns
40 more.
Since then the Burgess Sulphite Fibre Com
pany have doubled The size of their plant, the
Glen Co. have rebuilt and very much enlarged
their three mills and a shoe factory has been
built which now employs $50 operatives.
In addition to the water power required by
the above mentioned corporations 1900 horse
power is yet unemployed and its development
will result in a steady growth in population in
the future.

The testimony before the Board of
Aldermen Saturday evening seemed to
show that gasoline was not a dangerous
article when properly handled. 1t
came from interested parties, to be
sure. but it was uncontradicted. But
while its safety was quite satisfactorily
proved, it was not made SO clear that it
could be used without some annoyance
to people who lived near where it was
employed. While the annoyance does not
Eeem to be very serious, still we are in
clined to think that 1t is serious enough to
Justify the discouraging of the use of gaso-
line for power purposes In residential parts
of the city or in parts much frequented
by people. Electricity furnished from a
central power station is far preferable,
and very lisasly it's employment would be
practicable, if the state by general law
had not shut off all competition in it's
production. Under existing conditions
the cost is apparently prohibitive of it's
use on a large scale and this is what has led

SANTIAGO CAMPAIGN.
Gen. Shafter Submits His Report
to the War Department.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-General
Shafter to-day admitted to the War
Shafter to-day submitted to the War
campaign, covering not only the bat
| tie of Santiago, but the entire prog
ress of the military invasion of Cuba.
The General, accompanied by his aide,
Captain Miley. came to the depart
ment during the afternoon, and in per-
son handed the report to Adjutant
General Corbin. He also brought with
him two Cuban machetes to be present
ed to Mrs. Alger as mementoes of the
campaign.
The report is a voluminous document,
covering, with supplementary reports
of division commanders, about 300
typewriter pages. OF this General
Shafter's report forms about half Be
fore submitting the report General
Shafter conferred some time with Act
ing Secretary Meiklejohn and General
Corbin. 1t was stated afterward that
the report would not be made public
for the present, the desire being to
place it first in the hands of the Pres
ldent and Secretary, and allow suffi-
cient time for mature consideration Of
its contents. After that there is little
doubt the material portions. and per-
haps the entire report, will be made
public. 1t repeats the story pretty well
know, though there is much to interest
in the view which the commanding
General takes of several features OF the
campaign.

VOLUNTEER TROOPS.
Given Out Positively That No More
Will Be Mustered Out.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Tremen-
dous pressure is still being brought to
bear on the War Department to have
more troops mustered out of the serv-
ice Efforts in this direction, however,
are of no avail. 1t is announced to-
day with much emphasis that there Will
be no more troops mustered out.
The situate does not admit Of any
further reduction in the army, and eff
forts are being made to put those vol
unteers who are retained in the service
as near as possible to the footing of the
regulars in the matter of drill and dis
cipline. An effort is being made to
eradicate the amateurish idea of inde-
pendence among the troops and to
bring them down to the strictest dis
cipline.
The purpose at the outset when the
muster out began was to muster out
100000 volunteers. A little over 96,OO0
have already been mustered out, and
it is announced positively that there
will be no more mustered out, no mat
ter what influence is brought to bear.
The retention of the volunteers now
in the service and the efforts to i'm
prove the morale of the army has in
view the Philippine situation more than
that of Cuba or Porto Rico, though
there is a great deal of vagueness as
to the danger apprehended there.
