At their own request, a court-martiaI
has been ordered by Mai.-Gen. Roe, of the

Mai. Whipple, of the list n. Y, on
charges of cowardice at Santiago.
The subscriptions for the fund for the
widow of the late Col. Geo. E. Waring
have now reached the sum of SIT ,555, and
will probably reach 500, 900.
Col. Chas w. Davis, formerly of the
5fst ILL.,, one of the best-known veterans of
Chicago, and Commander of the Loyal
Legion, died at his home in that city, Dec.
16, of paralysis of the heart.
The Rev. DIR. John r. Paxton, the
brilliant and popular Presbyterian divine,
has been ordered by his physician to stop
all ministerial work for six months. He
has had a notable career. He enlisted in
the 10th Pa, one of the fighting regi-
ments of the Army OF the Potomac, and at
the time of it's muster-Out had risen to the
rank of Second Lieutenant, showing that
he had excellent, manly stuff in him.
He then entered the Presbyterian
ministry, and attracted much attention
by his eloquence and talents. He was
for years Pastor of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church in Washington, the
church which has been attended by
nearly all the Presbyterian Presidents.
Then he became Pastor of a leading New
York church, of which Russell Sage is
prominent member, but mysteriously dis
appeared in 1895, and a month later was
found in a sanitarium near Pittsburg.
About a year ago he took charge of
another church in New York, and was
unusually successful. When he began
the attendance was about 100, but it
speedily ran up to an average of leo.
His congregation is deeply saddened over
his retirement.
The National tribune., 1898-12-22

THERE are probably good reasons
why the State of Georgia should add
$4,000 a year to the sum appropriated
for the pensions Of ex-rebels. The un-
fortunate men to whom this sum will go
were forced into the army to fight for
other mems slaves, and they deserve to
be taken care of by somebody in their
old age and decrepitude; but it seems
like turning the hands of the clock
back to do this by cutting off 100000
from the school fund. Young Geor.
gians need this education badly to pre-
vent their being deceived as their
fathers were.
