Two brothers, Mortimer and Emmett
Huffman, sons of ID. e. Huffman, of ln-
tianapolis, Ind, were killed at Santiago.
The family moved from LaMrenceburg,
Ind, to Indianapolis several years ago and
at that city u few months since Edna, tho
only daughter, committed suicide because
her lover had killed himself after a misun-

Mrs. Huffman ended her life with carbolic

daughter and now the sons have lost their

crookedness had been saved that fate
through the influence of prominent rela-
tives and friends. Flipper gave check
on a bank where he then had no funds,
but white officers had frequently been
court martialed for duplicating, repeated
ly, their pass accounts, and escaped with
light penalties.
The late Gen. p. NJ. B. Young, who was
a member of the five year. class of May,
1861, but resigned before graduation to en-
ter the Confederate service, always had
a kind word to say of West Point Military
Academy and the high character of its
graduates. Taken as a whole, from first
to last, their record for honesty, sobriety.
scholarship and soldierly qualities, is
brilliant one. Here and there of late
years a graduate has fallen into disgrace,
and yet no institution can show cleaner
record as a whole.
1t Is a remarkable fact, and one not
we'll known, that of the many graduates
who entered the Christian ministry, not
one ever brought stain upon the cloth,
and many became eminent and influential
divines. Georgia and Savannah know
something of the high character of the old
West Pointers. in Gilmer. Lawton, Cor
don, Cuyler, Alexander, Stovall, Brumby,
Boggs, Willis, Cumming. Gardner and
other honored and beloved citizens.
The severity of what is rumored TO be
Carter S sentence Is not more marked imam
that of Maj. WATSON, both first honor
graduates and each trusted with the Gus
tody of large sums of public money. The
first honor men of West Point have made
remarkable records in most cases, only
few falling below a high standard of ex-
cellence in their future careers. Gen. Fer
guson's class had Hon. John c. Polfrey of
Massachusetts,, for first honor man. And
in this list can be found such names as
John G. Swift-Roswell Park-Albert Z.
