Tributes From Subscribers.
Among the contributions to the Lawton
fund received by Adjutant General Corbn
was one Of $500 from Mr.. Lewis Cass Led
yard of New York, which contribution, he
said. was made in memory of my nephew,
Lieut.. A. c. Ledyard, killed in action In
Negros, December s. 1S99''
Following are extracts from other let
ters received:
Russell Hastings. Northampton, Mass:
The wife and children of such hero as
Gen. Lawton should be we'll cared for by
the country and the people. | never knew
the general, but l knew many of his
friends that he seemed quite near
Chas. Stewart Smith, New York: Il hope
the amount will grow large. Gen. Lawton
was fortunate in his life and glorious in
his death. He died as a brave man and
soldier might wish TO die. TO the country
and mis- friends the loss is supreme, but
his example will live inspiration
