A NOBLE WORK.
Mr.. Woods Address on College
Settlement Undertaking.

The topic selected for discussion at the
regular meeting OF the Congregational
club last evening at the Trocadero, was
college settlement work, under the title
OF Talent Saving Stations Along the
Shores of Poverty"
Mr. Robert A. Woods OF Boston, head
of the South End House OF College Set
tlement Work. was the speaker of the
evening. and in an earnest and convinc-
ing manner he drew a verbal picture of
the diversified phases of the college set
tlement work. its objects, its failures
and its successes.
Mr. Woods called attention to the great
good these settlement houses, oases in the
desert OF the tenement house districts,
are doing, and what a wonderful infiu-
ence they already have exerted. Many
a youth have they taken from the street
and given an ample opportunity to
develop his talents, and fitted him TO
fight the battle OF life.
Previous to the address by Mr.. Woods
the business meeting OF the club took
place and matters OF a routine nature
were quickly disposed Of
The presiding officer. Rev. James III.
Lyon. then introduced Robert r Brown,
president Of the Rhode Island Unitarian
club who made n brief but spirited ad-
dress Mr. Woods followed.
While not an eloquent speaker, Mr..
Woods made a pleasing address and was
heartily applauded at its conclusion.

Strange Error In Commander Tag.
gart's Record.
It Was Discovered In Nick of Time to Save Him
From Defeat.

Accidental. but most timely, was a
discovery which probably saved Ma
jor e. F. Taggart from defeat for
commander of the department of Ohio
of the G. A. r. at the Bellefontaine
encampment. The story has just leak
ed out.
Last April friend of Major Tag
gart CHANGED to overhear some men
talking in Columbus restaurant re-
garding the selection of the Depart
ment Commander, and the assertion
was made that Major Taggart, then
candidate, had not,a clear army rec
ord; that he had never received an
honorable discharge, the inference be-
ing that he had deserted.
That friend at once notified Major
Taggart. who. with Major H. A. Kas.
son, went to Columbus to investigate
They knew the story was incorrect
because Major Taggart had his dis.
charge papers; but they were startled
to find that the state record indi.
Gated that an honorable discharge had
never been granted.

Adjutant General Corbin in Wash.
ngton was at once communicated
with. He found that the record there
was clear, showing that Major Tag
CART had been honorably discharged
and mustered out of the 102nd o. V.
l., June 30, 1865. The Ohio record
showed that he had been transferred
to the 1S9th o. V. l., and never mus
tered out.
The mistake has been corrected. 1t
occurred in this way: Upon his release
from Andersonville prison Major Tag.
CART was sent home. In short time
he was mustered out. About the same
time he was transferred to the
1S9th, which was then near here
that he might be mustered ont
the more conveniently. He never
knew that such transfer was made.
and the record shows that it was made
July II, 1866, two weeks after he
had been mustered out of his original
regiment.
The opposition to Major Taggart
had expected to use this record against
him at the encampment.
