EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There
seems to be no argument in the proposition
that THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is read by
more G. A. r. people than any other pub
lication. Therefore it is believed to be
proper to say through its columns that
John McElroy should receive the position
of Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief at the
hands Of the coming National Encamp-
ment. He is Past Commander of the De-
partment Of the Potomac, and without
doubt the ablest defender of the rights of
the old soldier in this country. Comrade
McElroy's commanding position in our
ranks; his skill as newspaper man; his
reputation as thorough comrade and as
an alert, all-around hail fellow, we'll met, y
should give him the honor sought for him
by his friends. but which is unsought by
Comrade MeElroy. 1t is understood that
Pennsylvania will waive the custom OF
giving the second place to the State in
which the Encampment is held, and so lei
the job go to that brilliant Illinois soldier
and ex-Chicagoan, the editor of THE

saw his physical powers go from him as the result
of insidious disease until he was reduced to
condition of senility and the best doctors In the
country gave him up to die.
He asserts that his 10 years suffering. both

joy in a single night through a rare combination
of medicines that literally made him young again.

fire of ambition has left him and needs something
that will brace him up and enable him to be pre-
pared for any undertaking which may present
itself
There is no question bu: what in his individual
case the results were just as described. and II
seems quite probable that any man who believes
himself to be weak may profit by sending for this
free prescription. Many people wonder how he
can afford to send this prescription free. but 1t
costs him little to do so. and he feels philan-
thropic interest in giving weak men an oppor'

DEATH OF LIEUT.. PENNELL.
~Cof. H G Thomas, commanding
the Second Brigade, had endeav-
ored to advance his brigade just
after our charging party were
driven back. 1t was at this time
that Lieut.. Pennell, a young officer
on Col. Thomas's staff, was killed.
Years afterwards, Col. Thomas
wrote this concerning him: With
his sword upllfted in his right hand,
the banner in his left, he sought to
call out the men along the whole
line of the parapet. In moment
a musketry fire was focused upon
him, whirling him around several
| times before he fell"
From the higher ground that |
was onI saw him start out, and L
knew that he was doomed.
The Second Brigade had hardly
raised their heads when the cry

nearly up to the bombproofs, and

were coming, and coming with q

going straight for the Second Brl
gade.
"Up, boys, up, and drive then
back!" the officers shouted, and ths
men stood up bravely and opened
an oblique fire on them.

PANORAMA OF OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.
A handsome album of 12s half-tone
photographs. This remarkable book
shows the leading incidents of the war,
and many interesting scenes in the cities
of our new possessions. 1t contains the
only picture of the first shot fired in the

transports. were loaded; soldiers on the
skirmish line; magnificent war pictures Of
Gems. Wheeler and Shafter, and of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough

The pictures of the sunken Spanish
ships as they appeared after the battle off
Santiago are worth many times what this
book costs. The pictures of the engineer
corps at work will give an excellent idea
as to the duties of this very important corps.
Among the interesting photographs are
those of soldiers making ready for an attack
