GRANTS GRANDSON.

Remarkable Application for Appoint
 ment as West Point Cadet.
 4 recent Washington telegram says: One day last week Col. Fred. Grant came down to Washington and presented to President McKin- ley an application for the appoint ment of his son, Ulysses, to a cadet ship at West PoIHt. The latter bore the signature of Gen. Grant and the endorsement of Gen. Sherman. and came like a voice from the grave. The story is an affecting one. It seems that in 1885, when Gen. Grant had been told by his physicians that he could live but little while lon ger, he began to think of the future of his grand children. Among these was Ulysses, the son of Fred, and known as Ulysses III, then little more than au infant. The old gen eral wanted to have him grow into soldier, and he penned this applica- tion:
 New York, April 3, lSS5.-To the President of the United States: May I ask you to favor the appoint ment of Ulysses s. Grant, the son of my son, Frederick Grant, as & cadet at West Polnt. upon his ap- plicationi In doing SO you will gratify the wishes of
 U. s. GRANT
 After his death the application was laid away for couple of years, when Col. Fred Grant took it to Gen. Sherman and asked his er- dorsement, which the grizzly old warrior wrote as follows:
 New York City, February 1. 1897. To the President of the United States; It seems superhuous that any addition should be necessary to the above, but I cheerfully add my name in the full belief that the child of such parents will be most worthy of the appointment solicited.
 W. T. SHERMAN, General.
 Ulysses, the youngest IS now a student ip private school here. He IS Is years old and is already 5 feet II inches tall and is we'll developed. He is delighted at the prospect of attending the military academy, but cannot be admitted for a year, or until he is 17 years old.
