Those Who Make Up the Host OF Heroes
Who Gave Their Lives That the Nation
Might Live-Another Old Soldier Sleeps
the sleep of the Patriot Who Has Done
HIS Duty and Answered to His Last
Roll Call.
Los Angeles. Cal, March II. - The
friends of General Rosecrans who have
been simply waiting for the end, saw ii
come To him yesterday, quietly and
peacefully as babe falling asleep. His
death was not the result of any disease
particularly, but simply a gradual
loosening of the hold upon life due TO
old age-he was nearly four score. His
death took place about twelve miles
from this city on a ranch he owned, and
his family was present at the bedside
when ii occurred He had been uncon-
scious for some time before the end
came. BY this event another of the
great leaders in the war for the Union
is gone. William Starke Rosecrans
served eighteen years in the federal
army in almost every position from
second lieutenant TO major general, and
FILLED many civil offices with ability and
great success.
Helped Make American History.
OF his life il would seem but neces-
sary to say that he was born in Kings
ton o., Sept. 6, 1919, was graduated
from West Point in 1912. served twelve
years and then engaged in business as
architect and civil engineer till the great
war began. All the rest is American
history. But his memory is worth
more than such a brief notice of his
achievements, OF which the most dra-
matte and interesting were those of the
war of the rebellion. for his military
service previous TO that time was bare
OF experience on the battlefield His
first service at the outbreak of the re-
bellion was in drilling recruits, but he
was soon commissioned as chief en-
gineer of Ohio with the rank of colonel,
but preferred active service and was
made colonel of the Twenty third Ohio
volunteers Three days afterward he
received commission as brigadier gen
eral and was Immediately ordered TO
western Virginia by General Mcclellan.
with the Army in Virginia.
At Parkersburg he was placed in com
mand of a force comprising the Eighth,

diana regiments and was then ordered
10 Clarksburg. From there he advanced
to Roaring Creek within four miles of
the enemy. who were intrenched in
forest at the base of Rich mountain.
Here he won his first victory, routing
the rebels. In the meantime the dis
astrous battle of Bull Run was fought
and lost, and General Mcclellan being
summoned TO Washington the command
IN western Virginia devolved upon Gen
eral Rosecrans Then he beat the rebels
at Cornifex Ferry, baffled Lee in an at
tempt of the latter To capture him. He
was engaged in Virginia until May -.
1862. when ne was sent TO General
Halleck at Corinth. Miss. then the cen

Was a High Honor.

William Alden Smith Of Grand Rap
ids is one of the youngest members Of
the house of representatives and IL
was a high honor which was conferred
upon him when he was signaled out for
an invitation to go on a special mission
to Cuba. with three distinguished Unit
ed States senators, and with the famous
urnalst-statesman, Amos j. Cum
mings. But Mr.. Smith has attended
to his duties as a member Of the COM
mittee on foreign affairs, and hence
he has attracted national attention.
Both of our senators and all of our
representatives have recently been re-
ceiving big patches of resolutions and
petitions in favor OF the passage of the
anti-scalpers bill. These come from
the order OF railroad conductors and
burdened with petitions from hundreds
of good men opposing the passage of
this bill. So. either way our public men
vote they are bound to make enemies
on this bill.

Hamilton strikes a snag.

Congressman Hamilton has struck a
snag and he realizes II. too. His bill
providing for an additional pension raid
on the treasury has been pigeon holed
This is not good year for bills which
dip into the treasury. The writer has
been somewhat of a pension crank him
self, but fifteen years OF experience
here have revealed so much that is
wrong as to cause dstrust of every
pension bill. Thousands OF deserving
men are not on the pension roll. and
tens Of thousands OF undeserving men
are on the roll. For example. men who
act as government clerks In Washing
ton, drawing upwards of 800 per month
for writing ought not also be drawing
s12 or more per month because OF disa-
bility: while thousands OF deserving
veterans are suffering in poverty be-
cause they cannot comply with all OF
the demands Of the law. The whole
pension system needs revision. Con-
gresham Hamilton's scheme makes
room for thousands of undeserving
men. and Its enactment would add at
least s25, 900 per annum to the pen
sion roll. II will not be passed.

What Is malaria, IS only an army

A Paper From Lieutenant Brauners-

A copy of the Pacific Commercial Ad-
vertiser. of. Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands,
dated May so. was received yesterday
by Mr. Augustus Pollack. The interest
in the paper lies in the fact that It
comes from Lieutenant Braunersreuth-
err, U. s.. N, formerly stationed at the
Linslyt1nstitute, In this city, and well
known TO. SO many OF Wheeling's citi-
zens, and gives an account OF the ar

that he hail found much to encourage
