receiving wounds ia the battle In this
conflict the Fify-fourth was the last TO
leave the field and returned the IRE of
the enemy until he ceased to pursoe.
Picking itself up from the hardships Of
this battle, the regiment twenty days
afterward was in such splendid fighting
trim that, although harFied by shot and
shell, il saved General Hunters army at
Stannton. Repelled from Lynchburg by
far superior numbers under Breckin-
ridge, Jones. and Imboden. the Fifty
fourth retired with credit. and in the
retreat across tho mountains OF West Nir-
ginia endured privations scarcely sur
passed in the annals OF warfare. Concen-
trating again for Smokers Ferry, the reg
iment again met defeat. but defeat OF
which it may well be proud. as it once
more saved the army. At Halltown, Ce-
dar Creek, Opequan, Winchester, and
Fishers Hill the regiment acquitted itself
with honor, and the enemy that had once
tested its mettle did not banker for an
other contest. In the famous engagement
made memorable in song by ''Sheridan's
Ride" the Fiffy-fourth suffered severely.
being posted in advance, and the first 10
receive the enemy's blow. At Fort Gregg
the regiment lost 20 killed and wounded,
and at High Bridge 2i.
At the latter place, the command Of
which the Fifty. fourth was a part was
made prisoners, but it was a case in which
defeat aided success, for Lees columns
were thus delayed several hours, enabling
Sheridan TO sweep around the enemy's
rear. and complete the destruction of that
once proud aud defiant army. For four
days, without rations, the eaptives march
ed with the retreating Rebel Army, when.
to their great joy, they were released
from their captivity and their starving
condition by Grants victorious columns.
From Appomattox Court House the reg
iment was sent TO Camp Parole, Mary
land, and on the 18th of July was mus
tered out of service at Harrisburg.

rha pr.sldsnts,s War Room.

President Mckinley studies all the
movements of the war from a set of maps
especially prepared for him by Prof
Pritcheit, chief OF the coast and geOdetie
survey, says the Washington cOrrespon-
dent of the st. Louis "Globe- Democrat"
The maps have been placed in the war
room at the White House, and the Presi-
dent refers TO them many times a day.
The maps are all hand drawn, the work
being done under Prof Pritchett's per-
sOnal supervision. Unlike nearly all of
the war maps out, the maps made for the
president are on a uniform scale. When
he wants to determine the exact distance
between any two points all he has to do is
to pick up the marked scale which hangs
at the side and measure.
The ships Of the American fleet are
designated by blue flags, the name of each
being printed on the flag. The Spanish
ships are designated by red flags. The
flags are moved as information of the
movements of the ships are received, so
that mere glance at the map reveals
the naval situation. In addition to the
large maps Prof Pritchett has also made
for the war room maps Of the harbors
where operations are occurring. These
maps are most minute. They show every
fortihcation, and also the depth of water
at ali points. The president has been
much pleased with the exceptional IA
cilities which Prof Pritchett has fur
nished him to study the progress OF the
campaign.

Buffalo Bills Great Exhibition Soon to APP
pear-chesp Excursion Rates.
When the patriotism Of the people is
afiame and the movements Of the army
and navy of paramount interest it is im-
possible to conceive of anything that
could more powerfully appeal to the pub
lie at this time in the way of amusement
attraction than Buffalo Bills Wild West
and Congress of Rough Riders of the
World. 1t is no mere show intended TO
provide diversion for an afternoon and
evening, and yet as an entertainment it is
beyond all measure the most diverting.
lis real value lies in the fact that it is,
more than anything else an international
military tournament. In IL you see vet
erans of the Fifth U. S. Artillery hand
ling a double light battery exactly as if it
was in front of an enemy; Cavalrymen
from the armies of Russia, England, Ger
many, Mexico, Cuba, Egypt and other
foreign lands show how soldiers of those
nations handle themselves; their ma
nOeuvres aud tactics in fighting and their
sports and pastimes in playing. over
100 Indian warriors show the sort of
fighting Buffalo Bill and his fellows had
TO do to win from them the vast expanses
of the arid Western plains which have
been made to blossom with the happy
homes of thousands of our eountrymen.
There is not space here 70 mention all the
features of this great exhibition but mem
tion must be made Of the insurgent veter-
ans fresh from the battlefields, prisons
and hospitals of Cuba the magnificent
military spectacle, Clusters Last Battle.
1t is the superb show, man for man and
horse for horse that opened this season
with month at Madison Square Garden,
New York city; the same show of which
the great editor, Murat Halsted said !:
at is somebody's crime if all the chill
dren do not see it," 1t will be at Johns
town, June 2Sth, and excursion rates will
be made 10 the Wild West on that day on
all lines of travel.
