HEREDITARY TAINT.

From the Columbus Dispatch
A prominent city officials little girl
took a friend with her to Sunday school
and into the class to which she belonged.
The teacher called the class roll and Incl
dentally asked the visitor to what church
she belonged The officials child replied
for her, saying; "She's a Catholic" The
teacher was amused at the reply, and a
conversation followed like this
"And Of what denomination are you?"
I'm buckeye"
You're a what?" said the surprised
teacher,
I'm buckeye; papa says | am"
Turning to the little brother of the girl
the teacher asked; "And what are your"
I'm a Democrat"
The teacher gave It up; the boy had the
instinct of the father.

Speaks of His Accusers as "These
Sensational People"

The Secretary Refuses "to Get
Downin the Sewer" With Them.
SCOPE OF THE INQUIRY

DETROIT, Mich, September 1o.-secre-
tary Alger arrived at the Michigan Central
station from the east at 9:45 o'clock today.

their son, Capt. Fred Algcr, who is gradu-
ally recovering from fever contracted in
Cuba; also Col. Hecker and Maj. Hopkins,
the Secretarys war aids, both Detroiters.
The general upon alighting first kissed his
little granddaughter and then warmly
greeted Gov. Pingree.
To the reporters Gen. Alger remarked
that all he would say now was that le was
glad TO get home and especially to breathe
Michigan air again. The Secretary was
then driven to his residence, accompanied
by Gov. PIngree.
After arriving home Gen. Alger said he
expected to remain until week tomorrow
Being asked to make a statement for pub
lication relative to the charges against his
administration of the War Department, the
Secretary replied:
What Go you want me to do? Get down
in the sewer with these sensational people?
They are not worrying me. There is moth
ing to the charges excepting somebody's S
desire TO make political capital.
What He Said.

Publication.

ment today. He first called upon Acting
Secretary Meiklejohn and then with Gen
eral Corbin called upon General Miles at
the army headquarters. H. then went to
the White House. General Shafter says he
has plans and will have none until he
receives further orders. At present he is
under orders to report here. Later orders
Wil be issued to determine what his future
course will be. He says that he has moth
ing whatever to say for publication.
General Shafter has expressed a wish
that when the department commanders are
sent to posts that he would prefer to have
Lis old command the department of Cali
fornia. 1t is probable fhat it will be given
him, but such action will be a long time
in the future, as the organization of the
army upon its old basis is not likely to oc-
cur for some time.

Col. Harries of the 1st District of Column
bia Regiment reported at the War Depart
ment today. He was very cordially re-
ceiVed by Acting Secretary Me1klejohn and
General CCrbin The department is extreme
ly well pleased with the sOldierly conduct
and appearance of the District boys, who

disturb discipline. Both the acting secre-
tary and General Corbin spoke in the very
highest terms Of the regiment anu comrli-
meEted Col Harries on the way he had
taken care of them and upon their strong
soidierly qualities. The fact that the Dis
trlct OF Columbia regiment had by far the
lowest death rate of any in the foreign
service is felt to be accounted fer by the
discipline and morale shown by the bows ON
thelr return. The department officials re
gard the regiment as an eXamoIa of ,rood
volunteer soldiers
particular Pleasure is expressed at .hc
1&ct that the District boys stood up under
the strain of service like men. and showed
grumblers. ~ ii''
Gen. Corbin said to a Star reporter to-
cay that he was wonderfully pleased with
the appearance of the District regiment
Ihslr appearance IS good, their record is
eOod and their behavior soIdierIv | shall
be glad 10 haze you quote me in c,rnaIt
praise OF them. As soldiers they look bet-
Ter than when they went away"
zen, Corbin and Acting Secretary McikIe-
JChh expressed gratifica tipn at the attitude
occupied by Col. Harries of the regiment
being cheerfully at the disposal of no dal
partment, ready either to be mustered out
or 10 serve as much longer within TIE term
OF thelr enlistment as their services NAV
De required. Mr- Me.k!cjohn said that it
was very gratifying to See this suldieriy
attitude assumed.

THE ATTACK UPON EVANS.

AttOrneys.

Attorneys.
Gleat surprise is expressed by the friends
of Commissioner H. Clay Evans at the reso-
luton adopted by the G. A. r. encampment
yesterday. These resolutions, it will be
recalled. criticise the administration of the
commissioner of pensions.
The resolutions are the talk of the or
ganiza ton, and the friends of the COM
missioner tlocking to his defense, ex-
pressing their &C nfide1lce in him and con-
demuing in no uncertain tones the action
OF the encampment.
Commissioner Evans was not at his office
tcGay. He left last night for a short vaca-
ton to the Thousand Islands, Montreal and
Quebec
A warm personal friend in discussing the
resolutions passed at Cincinnati said:
The G. A. r. made big blunder in
adopting such report. 1t is not only false
as to statements. but grievous wrong to
an honest, upright official. The adminis.ra-
ton OF the pension bureau under Commits
sioner Evans has been marked by signal
ability. Without fear or favor, the rules
ana the laws have been followed There is
stain Upon his record, no suspicion Ct
using his office to further his political ends
He has Zealously guarded the interests of
the old soldier. This has brought upon him
the condemnation of certain pension agents,
but his record is too clean to suffe- by rea-
son of their vituperation. One would imag-
inc from the resolution passed that Mr..
Evans had done his utmost 10 embarrass
the pension applicant. Every honest claim
ant knows this is not true. With a marked
fidelity he has done his utmost to carry
out the law and award to the legitimate
claimant the pension his country provided.
He has criticised and very justly, too, the
methods of some pension attorneys, and,
as the majority of these are old soldiers
and in the Grand Army of the Republic.

would be an injustice to the I'd Regiment
he says that this regiment was really the

TO go TO the front when the muster of the 1st
was completed. The regiment had been or
dered abroad, and the orders countermand-
ed, ana it has been moved about from place
to place until the soldiers were tired of SER
vice; Ihls representation caused a delay in
issuing orders until further consideration
could be given to the Georgia troops
