fight, and in the end Jack" Logan be-
came the husband of Mr.. Andrews
daughter Edith. The wedding occurred
in 1887 and was one Of the society
events of the year.
After his marriage Maj. Logan de-
voted much of his attention to the
breeding of fine horses. The English
hackneys from his Ohio stock farm Sc
cured prize after prize at the horse
shows held throughout the country
When the big horse show was held at
John A. Logan, Jr.. was selected to
manage it. 1t was the greatest at
tempt Chicago had made in this direc-
tion and the affair was great social
success. The results were marred by
contentious between directors and
members of the state board of agricul-
ture.
Then it was that the Spanish war
cloud drifted over the horizon. Mrs.
Logan. the mother. had known the ex-
periences of the civil war, and she en-
couraged her son in his efforts to Or
ganize a regiment Of cavalry. This
fighting force was raised through his
efforts, but not accepted by the govern
ment. the federal authorities refusing
to accept the organization unless 1t
should be regarded as part of the
states quota of volunteers. Governor
Tanner placed obstacles in the path OF
the young soldier by refusing to com.
mission him as a volunteer, and 1t was
only after many delays that he was
commissioned major in the volunteer
service by the war department at
Washington. When the mobilization
of troops prior to the Cuban campaign
was ordered Jack" Logan reported to
Gen. Bates at Mobile as assistant ad-
iutant general. The brigade organized
at this point was classed as an inde-
pendent body when the force was re-
moved to Tampa. The Third and
Twentieth regiments Of infantry were
included in this brigade. When the

gan's salutation, and. late as it was
and with warnings of Spanish guer-
rillas sounded by scouts, he ordered
fires started, and his orderly was sent
into action. Cans uf sardines, pots
of tea and other delicacies came into
sight as result of this activity.

was the resolution voted to Jack" Lo-
gan that night.
The war in Cuba ended, Maj Logan
asked for service in the Philippines
He was commissioned major Of the
Thirty-third volunteers. He had been
in the island of Luzon but two months
and had more than once distinguished
himself for gallantry. He fought, it
was said, that his own merits might
be recognized and that the opposition
of politicians who had combated him
might be erased.
Maj. Logan had achieved some re-
pute as a writer. This incident of his
career was closely connected with the
coronation of the czar of Russia in
1897. At that time Maj Logan, then
a captain on the military staff of Gov.
Bushnell of Ohio, had personal quar-
rel with Gen. McCook, which led to an
enmity between the two families At
the coronation, so the story started,
Capt. Logan had worn a uniform to
which he had no right. This report
was traced, so Capt Logan declared, to
Gen. McCook's statements and an apol-
ogy was demanded. 1t was asserted
that John ]. McCook, son of the gen.
eral, had worn cavalry uniform to
which he was not entitled. During his
stay in Russia Maj. Logan compiled
material for his book. I'm Joyful Rus

The late Major John A. Logan, Jr.,
was born in July, 1865, at Murphys-

shortly before his class was graduated.
Since his marriage to Miss Edith An
drews, daughter of the late millionaire
coal operator, C. II. Andrews, March
%, 1887, he resided at Youngstown, o.
He owned the Oriole stock farm and
was engaged in limestone mining.
His aspirations for military life, ac-
quired from his noted father, BLACK
Jack" Logan, were made evident in
his boyhood days. He attended the
grammar schools, and then entered the
Chester Military Academy. Shortly
afterwards his desire for an army life
found way and he was appointed a cad
ct at the United States Military Acad-
emy at West Point. He remained here
but two years, howeves, leaving his
class to enter into the roa! estate busi-
ness at Washington, d. c., where his
father, then a member OF the United

Shortly after this he gave his aid to

lie, by making a statistical report con-
cerning the history of more than 5000
physicians of the middle and eastern
states, y per cent. of whom were u.s.
Ing spirits or opium to excess. From
this report, DR.. Crothers deduces the

this time Judge Mogan had recoV-

event Donohue wanted more he was

Donohue evidently had his fill, how

by many as preferable to prison

principal topic Of discussion among the
play-goers, and the Columbia Theater will
prosper serenely as long as the discussion
lasts. From both scenic and histrionic
points of view the production is admira-
BILE, but the play itself is nothing better
than a sensational caricature of Chris
tianity and decency. 1t will run the rest
of this and all OF next week.
