WAR "REMINISCENCES.
AN UNKNOWN HERO.
He who Made the Famous Ride with
Sheridan.

He who Made the Famous Ride with
Sheridan.
There Is a telegraph lineman in Read
ing, Pa, whose privilege it was to take
part in the greatest race the world
has ever known, the ride that turned
the day at Winchester and stamped
Sheridan as the first of cavalry leaders.
Histories have said the general made
the ride alone. Barton Ream knows
better, for he was with Sheridan. He
was one of the five who survived. Only
two are living, and strangely enough
the other, Samuel Lewis, also lives in
Reading.
Gen. Sheridan had been in Washing
ton. He had passed the night in Win
chester. 1t was there that he received
the news of the disaster at the front,
on that memorable morning of October
1S, 1864. You shall read of what fol-
lowed in Barton Ream's own words, as
he told the story to World corre-
spondent.
'We were awakened by the roar of ar
tillery. Hardly had we opened our
eyes when the bugles sounded boots
and saddles We hustled out of our
tents to learn that Maj. Spera had re-
ceived an order for 90 men with good
horses. 1t came from Sheridan him
self.
"We had hardly gained our saddles
when the general came up. He was
mounted on his superb black horse. He
wore a cap and plain blue overcoat.
There was flash in his eyes, and
grim smile played about his mouth.
"'Are you ready, boys?' he asked.
He answered the question himself by
digging his spurs into his horses sides.
We were off at gallop. We sped down
the smooth turnpike, with the gen
eral in the lead. His splendid black set
a tremendous pace. Twenty men were
at his heels trying to catch him. Once
rode to his side, and had almost passed
him.
I'VE came up on our soldiers flying
to the rear. Half-dressed, with gray,
strained faces, they hurried along, their
stomachs full of fear and dread.
"'Face the other way, boys! We're
going back Sheridan's voice rang out
In the morning air. The men stopped.
In the twinkling of an eye a change
came over them. We heard them cheer
faintly as we swept on.
''We came upon the wing of the re-
treating army. The fog of battle was
upon them, and through it we could
feel rather than see the despair and
terror painted on them.
"They saw us coming toward them.
They knew the little man on the black
charger. They paused.
"'Come on, boys, we're going back.
We are going back to our camp. Some
strange power seemed given to his

The Dreadful Anair.

Col John Singleton Mosby, while
visiting his son-ih-law, Robert r. Camp
bell, of Warrenton, Va, a few days ago,
received from Charles Dear, one of the
ex-confederate's men, letter advis-
Ing Mosby that Dear had sent to him
by express limb of the walnut tree
upon which Gen. Custer had hanged ten
of the guerilla's scouts. Mosby was
not at all pleased by Dear's action, and
said he would not touch the piece of
wood with a ten-foot pole. He wrote
to Dear, saying that he would much
prefer to forget than remember "the

While Sherman was "out in the air.

Tolerated by United states Court.


Tolerated by United states Court.
The United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York, Judge
Townsend presiding, handed down an opin,
ion December 23d, 1897, granting Injunction
and accounting, in the suit of The Hostettez
Company against Isaac Sommers ard Louis
Joseph, for infringement of its Trade Mark,
The jurist states, in bold and clear language,
the rights accruing to the Hostetter Com
pany, and the liability incurred by all who
would rob them, by fraud or misrepresenta-
ton, of the well-earned reputation and
profits of business built up by the efforts
of half century. The Judge says, in part:
"The complainant is entitled to protec-
ton against the appropriation of its trade
mark, by any and all unfair and dishonor-
able means, and court of equity has pow
er to grant such protection whenever it is
satisfied that an attempt has been made by
ingenious subterfuges, to invade the rights
of an owner of a trade mark. In
the sharp contest between the individual
manufacturer, who strives to acquire and
retain the fruits of industry and hon
esty, and the field of keen rivals, seeking
to wrest from him the prize of the public
goodwill, the inventive ingenuity of the
infringer has conceived a great variety of
devices for evading the established rules Of
fair dealing. Courts of equity find
ing that their ultimate object and effect
were to enable and induce the retail seller Of
a fraudulent imitation to palm it off on an
unsuspecting public for the genuine article,
and thus to contribute to the infringement
upon the rights of the original owner have
not hesitated to apply the remedy"
