ARE TO MEET AGAIN IN KENOSHA
Speeches Recalling other Times Made by
the Members of the Regtment.-His
tory to Be Issued Soon.

The thirty-seventh reunion of the
First Wisconsin Cavalry came to a
close Thursday evening. It closed
rades gathered round the camp fire at
Central Music hall to recall the more
personal side of the regiment tears
flowed from many eyes as the mem
cries of victory and defeat were
brought back. by speeches by the diff
ferent favorites.
Before the camp fire proper
started a business meetingOwas held at
which it was decided that the regi-
mental organization should be kept up
and it was also decided that the next
reunion should be held in Kenosha.
Resolutions were passed thanking the
people of Kenosha for the splendid
manner in which the cavalry had been
entertained.
The committee in charge of the pub
LEGATION of the history made a report
that the work on the publication was
now we'll under way and that an effort
would be made to have the book ready
by Christmas day. With the report
the business of the reunion ended and
the rest of the evening was given to
the boys.
This was festival of "Reminiscences
and the old boysswere called upon not
to make long winded speeches, but
simply to recall the other days and tell
how the battle was going with them
since the war was over. It was jolly
company and many of the old soldiers
had story to tell which brought tears
and laughter. There were speeches by
Coe and Russell and by Jim Sharp,
who was the prince of the ''Harnden's
Forty Thieves" The Rev. c. Lathrop
read beautifu1spoem which had been
written especially for the reunion and
the Rev. Lindermann Wright, another
of the Methodist ministers of the reg
iment, told a fund of good stories
about the time when the sixteen Meth
odists of the regiment stole the chick
ems for the company mess. Or.
! Cleary, Tom Hea1y and Peter Meyer
and Capt. Ed. Towne 0were called out
and made short speeches.
During the evening the short talks
by the soldiers we're greatly enjoyed.
Miss Lille Runa1s gave assistance to
the soldiers by rendering number OF
selections during the evening.

GENERAL ORDERS NO. 4.
Name of McKinley's Assassin to be Buried
in Oblivion.

Name of McK1nley's Assassin to be Buried
in Oblivion.
In General Orders No. 4, issued from
Headquarters of the Department of
Wisconsin, Grand Army of the Re-
public, at Madison and signed by A.
H. DeGroff, department commander,
and E. B. Gray, assistant adjutant
general, these words appear:
"Our Friend, Our Comrade, our
President is dead by the hand of an
assassin whose name should never be
pronounced by an American. Comrade
William McKin1ey's earthly career
closed at Buffalo, N. Y, at 2:30 a. M,
Sept. II, 19O1.'
Although none of the men who are
prominent figures in local G. A. r. Cir
Giles would admit yesterday that the
command" contained in General
Orders No. should be taken literally,
the fact is that the impression prevails
among the rank and file of the G. A.
r. that "orders are orders" and must
be obeyed. The truth is, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel, there is an atmos-
phere of melodramatic mystery sur
rounding the issue and the meaning
of this General Orders No. a." The
big men, to-wit, the men who hold
official positions in the Wisconsin
| branch of the G. A. R., insist that
Assistant Adjutant General E. B,
Gray was simply INDUCING in airy
persifage when in the opening para
graph of order No. he ordered the
batt1e-scarred veterans of the famous
organization never to even mention
the name of the cowardly assassin OF
their late comrade, William Mckinley
Furthermore, these men were more
than anxious that the fact that such
an order had been issued should be kept
out of the public prints. They called
attention to the fact that the G. A. r
is a secret organization and that
| General Orders No. 4" concerned only
the members of the organization and
was of no interest to the general
public.
Be this as it may, this much is GER
tain: The plain members of the G. A.
r. believe that General Orders No. ~
was transmitted from the proper
sources within the organization and
that it must be considered seriously
and obeyed. What is more, they will
obey the command to the letter.
| And the command contained IN
| general Orders No. A. means exactly
what it says. No member of the G..
. ;S to mention at auv fine or
place the name of the man who killed
| President Mckinley. The name of the
assassin is to be literally buried in the
oblivion of silence. In brief, the aim
is to have the criminal fogotten and il
the order is obeyed the children and
grandchildren of the veterans will
never in their homes hear the name OF
the assassin nor the details of his
awful crime commented on.

But Scanlon, dead at forty-two, went
such pace as Barrymore never
dreamed of. He literally turned night
into day. He was the most enthusiastic
and inveterate gambler l ever knew.
In ten years, he lost at faro, rouge ct
noir, poker and every form of hazard
more than half a million dollars. His
whole time off the stage was g ven to
games of chance. He rare'y slept. He
would play a matinee and an evening
performance and would then ruch away
and gamble until the next days per-
Torrance began. Then came the inerit-
able-recourse to stimulate. This
hastened his downfall.
The Lonely Vigils of Mrs. Seaman.
1t was pathetic to notice the faithful.
unceasing efforts which Mrs. Seaman
it was her custom to go to the theater
and after the performance endeavor to
get him home and to bed.
Often she took him dn a carriage and
started for a hotel. On the way he
would stop the vehicle. telling her to
wait a moment, and then would dive
into a faro bank and remain until the
place closed, obliviOus of the fact that
sne was waiting for him. AT other
times they would go to supper after
performance and he. making an excuse
to leave her for a moment. would not
return at all.
How Gambling Killed The Author o:
"Peek-a-Boo.."
So great a hold did gambling have
upon him that the summer before his
new play "Mavourneen" was produced
he could not be persuaded to leave New
York even for day. And while he
promised himself. his manager and his
wife that he would write his songs and
study his part he put off the work from
day to day until two weeks before the
initial performance.
Then he sat down and tried to study.

the task. He gambled and drank to the

the crisis came at the Fou1 tenth

tif1c interest. I beg to offer you the main
lines of an explanation which would
possibly be complete if worked out in
entire detail with exact reference to the
physiological and psychological factors
involved.
In the first place, our appreciation of
distance and, in a more general scope,
our appreciation of "externality" are the
result of many complex processes, in
vOlving the coordination of the direct
visual sense with. particularly. the sense
of muscular exertion and the sense of
touch. The analysis of the elements on
which this appreciation depends led
Berkeley to the enunciation of his theory
OF vision and to his subtle and, at first,
apparently paradoxical theory of ideal
ism.
Berkeley's positions are now. however,
not only accepted. but are found quite
reconcilable with the ''common-sense"

Anecdotes Of the Famous Wit.
He had poets admiration of the fair
sex. Recently at the Lambs, while
rhapsodizing about a new star, some
one interrupted with:
But. Barry, the old f1ames!"
"This is the only flannel" he said.
'Those were only matches"
Once a wine agent intruded upon a
parey OF which Barrymore was one.
The agent told Barrymore he was a man
of good taste and all that. and wound
up by saying:
when you want a bottle OF wine in
future, will you not crafty me py asking
for my wine?"

more, most graciously, II shall be de-

Friends of Barrymore recently enjoyed
a little witticism at his expense by Au-

mercilessly picking flaws in the actors

"Then you must have loafed."
Seeele Mackaye diagnosed Barrymore
as an actor who in order to become IA

To Mackaye he invariably replied that
he and sorrow were still strangers.
Once, however, he went to Mackaye with
long face, a melancholy brow, low
and trembulous tones. and, choking back
a sob said: Dear old Steele, when you
made that testing prediction about me

che Breakdown Of Genial John Nc
Cullough.
The case of John Mccullough was
dissimilar to Scanlan's only in the kind
of dissipation which lead to the same
end. He was a bon vivant pure and
simple. He literally sacrificed himself
on the altar of good-fellowship. Genial
John McCullough! No tragedy in which
he ever played was SO full of pathos as
his last night upon the stage. His
manager at the time. f. D. Price, tells
about it:
The Observation-Disclosures in Chicago

crowded The play was 1.-The Gladiator
Mr.. Mccullough enacting Spartacus. In
the first act. where the rugged Thracian,
weighed with chains, is brought cap
tive into Rome, the great actor strobe
feebly to the center of the stage and
stood with ciasped hands and bowed
head. When he spoke the empty sound
of his voice struck terror to the hearts
of the actors who stood about him and
loved him. 1t was not Spartacus they
knew who confronted them, but the
ghost Of Spartacus. He did not know
what to do or where to move. What

prompter.
