HOW GEN. HOWARD WELDED.
An Incident OF the Grand Review in
Washinwfnn in 1863.

The Hartford Comm Courant quotes the
following extract from an address by DR..
Henry Mabie, of Boston, at Mortified:
How does this law of self-sacrifice work
in America? In Sherman's campaign it be-
came necessary, in TIE opinion of the leader,
to change commanders. 0. O. Howard was
promoted to lead division which had been
under the command of another general.
Howard went through the campaign at the
head Of the division. and on to Washington
to take part in the review The night be-
fore the veterans were to march down
Pennsylvania avenue. Gen. Sherman sent
for General Howard and said to him:
Howard, the politicians and the friends
of the man whom you succeeded are bound
that he shall ride at the head of his old
corps, and | want you to help me out
But, 1t is my command, said Howard
and ] am entitled TO ride at its head
" OF course you are. said Sherman You
led them through Georgia and the Carroll
mas but, Howard. you are a Christian.
What do you mean? replied Howard.
If you put il on that ground it changes the
whole business. What do you mean, Gen.
Sherman
I mean that you can stand the disap-
pointment You are Christian:
Putting it on IL at ground, there is but
one answer. Let him ride at the head of
the corps
Yes. let him have the honor added
Sherman hut, Howard, you will report to
me at o'clock, and ride by my side at the
head of the whole army In vain Howard
protested. but Sherman said gently, but au-
thOritatively, You are under my orders
When the bugle sounded the next morn
ing Howard was found trembling Ike a leaf
and 1t required another order from General
Sherman before he was willing to take the
place assigned to him. He had, as a Chris
ton, yielded the place to another which
review found himself not at the head of the
corps, but at the head of the army"

THE STAMP VS.. HIGHER THINGS.
The New Revenue Law Not EncOurag-
ing to Romance.
Kansas City Journa

However effective it may be as a revenue
measure, the new stamp tax is hardly likely
10 prove popular; it touches our lives at
TOO many points, and strikes at too many of
the national weaknesses. Dissatisfaction
VIII be felt by all-from the lonely Indian, at
Pine Ridge Agency, who finds himself in an
alakli desert 500 miles from civilization
alone with his conscience and an I'M
stamped bottle of stomach bitters, to the
det du WHO scratches his head in vain
ehdeaVor TO Inquire out how the free trade
maxim that the consumer pays the tax can
be applied in the case of ls-cent stamp on
a o-cent package of vaSeine Fully reaiz-
ing the Importance of unfolding the hands
of the government at this critical time we
are nevertheless moved to point out one or
ton of this law
The licking of stamps is fundamentally an
unaeSthetic operation. 1t is crudely ma
terialistic, and destructive of the more
spiritual theories of life. 1t will have a ten
dency to restrict the progress OF theosophy
and kindred forms of belief which give much
comfort to the man who realizes how fond
nature is of joke.
More seriously, it is the enemy of the
romantic spirit. No man ever fell in love
with woman in the act of licking a post
age stamp. All the other activities that
center about the manufacture of love let
tiers have been infinitely described by writ
ers and illustrated by artists-all but the
licking Of the stamp. 1T has been felt by
all and very justly, that this was one OF
the moments with which the public had no
concern and when man should be left
to the solitude of his own soul Even
yellow journalism has respected this limita
ton.
Further still, the licking of stamps is a
strain upon the nervous system. As race
we have a tendency to nerve exhaustion,
aid anything that heightens this should be
discounteanced Now stamp is d rigid
rectangle that makes insistent appeal to
the geometric faculty, and experience
proves that While nothing is easier to de-
tect than stamp that is out of plumb
nothing is more difficult than to apply one
true to the meridian Doctors tell us that
1t is the aggregation of the small strains OF
q noisy and nerve-stretching civilization
that is weakening us. 1t is time to pro-
test against all unnecessary additions to the
strain
1t is rather late to discuss palliative meas
ures. The stamps are printed, and sat
urnalia of stamp licking is close upon US
but something might be accomplished by a
union of THE forces whose interests are
threatened should it prove possible TO com
bine in one general movement the theoso-
phists. Mr.. Anthony Hope, and the Don't
Worry clubs.

American Travel.
New York Evening Sun.


A great deal of travelling throughout the
United States, by citizens of the United
States, is done this summer. To begin
with, there is the inducement of the Omaha
fair, and during June there was the Den
yer pilgrimage for the club women. But
besides these special objects for traversing
our own countrys there is the large and gem
eral stimulus that ii has become the fash
ion to do so. Not the war scare, but patri-
otism, is responsible for it. That falling off
in the European exodus which notice.
able in May and June has now disappeared,
and the bookings of the various transat-
lantic lines to-day show little difference
from bookings for former seasons. But the
approved, because patriotic. thing to do is
to take a trip through the United States.
Yellowstone Park. the Rockies, the great
lakes the Yosemite-all of these and all
the rest of many natural wonders ana
picturesque resources have taken on a new
value, and you find them swarming with
visitors Gs never before. American tourists
who know their London and Paris like a
book are this year just finding out that our
own Capitol at Washington is one of the
most beautiful buildings in the world. The
number of well-traveled Americans who are
viewing Niagara for the first time this sum-
mer is remarkable. But it is all due to the
sudden awakening of-loyalty. Patriotism
is at par, and from millinery to natural
scenery there is unanimous desire TO stand
by our own.

arrived off Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point,
Long island. The troops aboard the trans
ports are the First Volunteer Cavalry, First
Regular Cavalry, Battery II, Fourth ArtiI-
iery, and the Sixth, Ninth. Tenth and Thir-
teenth Infantry. All the transports, ex-
cepting the st. Louis sailed from Santiago
on Aug. 8. The st. Louis which left few
days later. brought up $40 soldiers. There
was little sickness aboard the former Amer
lean liner. and but one death-Private Oliver
Longwood, Company b, Ninth Regiment,
WHO died from yellow fever and was buried
at sea. There was no other development
of yellow fever. Twenty-four sick. none of
serious nature, are aboard the st. Louis.
The Vigilancia has 609 men of the Sixth
and Thirteenth Regular Infantry, and the
condition of the. troops is excellent. Twen-
ty-one sick are under treatment, but there
is no fever. General Ames is on board
The Miami came up slowly and anchored

The work of disinfecting the ST. Louis was
begun this afternoon. The sick on board
were attended by the hospital corps and the
soldiers were given baths and provided with
clean clothing They will be allowed to
land tomorrow morning, when they will be
marched to the detention camp. The work
or 0sinfecting the other ships and landing

possible. The soldiers who arrived by the
Gate City Saturday night were landed to-
day. They were worn looking lot OF men,
but appeared to be in high spirits. They
were marched to the detention camp, where
they at once went into quarters.

Our Consul at Manila.

Washington Special in Chicago Post.
Wildman still insists that Aguinaldo is a
true man and a marvelously great man.
Widman himself is Impressions BILE. He IS
enthusiastic and energetic. No emergency
could possibly present itself to which he
would not be equal. He has always been a
man who was hard to keep under. A
product of middle New York, he appeared
in Washington ten years ago or such
matter and did newspaper work. He dalled
here for some time and finally married
niece of Senator Stewart, of Nevada When
General Harrison was elected President he
was appointed, through Stewards influence
consul at Singapore. He signalzed his exit
from the consular service by bringing the
Maharajah of Singapore or some Oriental
locality TO the worlds fair in Chicago He
starred the Oriental potentate in great
shape on that occasion and then disap-
peared. He was editor of paper in Idaho
for a while, but became known, on the Pa
cific coast editor of the Overland Month
ly in San Francisco. Again Uncle-in-law
Stewart became his influence in political
way and he secured an appointment as con-
sui at Hong-Kong about year and a half
ago. being charged on this occasion to
California against the protest of Senator
White and other members of the California
delegation, who insisted that he should be
credited to New York or Idaho Wildman
is still a young man, being under forty
years of age. He is remembered in Wash
ington as of slender build. rather below the
medium height, with light hair and blue
eyes, and extremely alert when it came to
looking after the interests of Wildman.

| Gen. Sanger Leaves Chicka ma uga to
Inspect Lexington LOcafinn

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga, Aug IA
Brigadier General Sanger commanding the
Third Division of the First Corps and staff
left tonight for Lexington, KY, to locate
camping ground for the Third Division
and to make all preliminary arrangements
for encamping the division. General
Sanger was quite confident when he took
his departure that he could readily make
the necessary arrangements for the recep-
ton of the division at Lexington, and he
therefore expected to be able in two or
three days to wire for the troops to pro-
coed to their new camp grounds
In the officers rifle contest on Saturday
afternoon, in which a team of six Of
ficers from each regiment of the Third Di-
vision, First Corps, participated. the Of
ficers of the Twelfth New York Infantry
won, their regiments total score being 249
against 239 for the Eighth Massachusetts,
which came second. The two foremost
teams will contest for the division cham
pionship on Wednesday next.
The details are now being arranged for
the review of the army on Wednesday Of
this week. as ordered by General Breckin-
ridge. The general anticipates that this
review will, in many respects, be notable
affair, and certainly "A fitting elimination
of all demonstrations that have taken place
on these grounds since the volunteers
pitched their tents in Camp Thomas.
The paymasters resumed paying to-day

To-day was quiet at the park. The Sun

Admiral Matsunaga was greatly surprised
that peace was to be made, and was very

that the disposition of the Philippines was

much surprise that the United States had

GEN. sTERNBERG's DEFENSE.
The Trouble Is Lack of an Executive

The army medical service has taken the

quartermaster' department with falling to

equal to the work which General Barnes
cid during the last war when he found that
the quartermaster'S department could not
move surgeons and supplies would have
own transportation.
This. however. is absolutely no excuse for
the very serious charge made by Captain
Edward S. MunSon, the surgeon in charge
at Santiago. that General Shafter failed to

NEW GOLD DISCOVERIES
PINE CREEK SAID To BE AS RICH AS
ANY IN THE KLONDIE1E.
Diggers Earn S12 n Day and Take Out
$50 Each Day for Owners-The
Latest from Alaska.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. 10, via Seattle,
Wash. Aug. 14.--What is regarded as a
most important discovery of rich placer
diggings is reported to have been made on
Pine creek, a small stream emptying into
Atlin lake. a feeder of Lake Tagish. The
discovery is located in the, Northwest Ter
ritory, Canada. The news of the discovery
has caused a great stampede from Juneau
and other southeastern Alaska points, and
it is estimated that at least one thousand
prospectors have started for the locality.
.As reported here, the find was made two
years ago by George Miller. of this city,
about the time the Klondike was made.
Miller allowed his discovery to remain dor
mant and went to the Klondike. Last June
he returned and. taking a few friends into
his confidence, revisited the place and
staked out claims. Walker Carter, who has
just returned from the diggings, says:
II saw four men shovel in twenty-six
ounces in two days, one pan from bed rock
containing four dollars. This was on Dis
covery claim Pine creek is about fifteen
miles long and will average seventy-five
feet in width. The current is very rapid.
The diggings are what is known as bar
diggings, or summer placer. Discovery
claim is about eight miles from the mouth
VI the creek. Inc ped rock is only nVe rect
from the surface and is of a slate forma-
ton. Miller has five men at work shoveiing
into suice boxes and he pays $12 a day
each, settling every night with dust taken
from the boxes.
The men are taking out $50 day to the
man. The gravel shows from 20 to $50 colors.
Captain. Strickland, of the Canadian
mounted police, and several other men are
already on the ground and have staked
claims for themselves and reserved the
government claims When ] left thirty
three claims had been located and the ball
ance of the creek is reserved by the Cana
dian government. When l was coming out
to Juneau l met a large number of pros
pectors going into every bay along Tagish
lake trying to find the spot which they had
heard of, but whose location they did not
know
The news has caused great excitement in
Juneau and every boat leaving here is
crowded with prospectors. The gold brought
in from the new diggings is like that from
the Klondike very coarse. but 1t is said to
be worth 81 ounce more.
