The other officer. Brig. Gen. James
H. Wilson, United States Volunteers,
graduated at the Military Academy Just
at the outbreak of the civil war. It's
close found him a major general of volun
teers. with a war record equaling if not
eXcelling that of any man of his age in
the army. His campaign in the South
west, in command OF a corps of cavalry,
terminating in the capture of Selma. Ala
bama, April 2. 1865, was one of the most
brilliant of the whole war, and eminently
successful, but was dwarfed and for a
while overshadowed by the greater results
of the surrender of the army of Northern
Virginia at Appomattox Court House, Vir-
ginia, just one week later, viz. April 9, 1865.
At the close of the war he was appointed
lieutenant colonel in one of the new regi-
ments of the United States Army; later
assigned to engineer duty in the North
west. and shortly after resigned and en-
tered civil life. On the outbreak of the
Spanish war he was appointed brigadier
general of volunteers. and served in Cuba,
and has just returned from China. In a
certain sense both of these officers seem
to be entitled to recognition at the hands
OF the party in power.

Colonel Trenholm was born in Charles
ton, S. c., sixty-five years ago. He was
graduated from the College of South Caro-
lima with the class of 1885, and entered
business with his father, George A. Tren-
holm. in the cotton firm Of Fraser & Co.,
Charleston. He married Kate Louise Mac
beth, OF Charleston. The firm later be-
came George A. Trenholm & Son. Soon
after the outbreak of the civil war the
father and son raised and equipped the
Confederate regiment Known as the Rut-
ledge Mounted Riflemen. The son went to
the front as colonel of the regiment. and
the father accepted the Secretaryship OF
the Treasury IN Jefferson Davis Cabinet.
Colonel Trenholm was wounded several
times, once severely in the thigh. At the
close of the war the father and son re-
sumed their cotton business, which had
become greatly reduced during their alb
sence In 1885 President Cleveland ap-
pointed Colonel Trenholm United States
Civil Service Commissioner. After serv
ing one year he was made Comptroller of
the Currency, and held that office until
1889 AT the close of his term he accepted
the presidency of the American Surety
Company. of New York, and went to that
city to live. While holding this Office
Colonel Trenholm organized the State
Trust Company. In 1897 he resigned the
presidency Of the American Surety Com
pany.
A year later he accepted the presidency
of the North American Trust Company, and
il was mainly through his efforts that this
company became the fiscal agent of the
United States in Cuba at the close of the
Spanish war. He retired from active bust
ness in May. 1899.
When free silver first became an issue
Colonel Trenholm published a book. en-
titled THE Peoples Money" and he has |
since contributed financial articles to vari-
Gus publications. Colonel Trenholm be-
longed to the Century. Reform. City, and |
Clubs. the Southern Society. the |
of Commerce, and the American |
Association OF Science.

response to solicitations for such con-
tributions in his paper. The court said
in part: "Of course. this suit is brought
upon the theory that appellant has a legal
present right TO one-third of the fund
above described. and may Immediately re-
cover it of respondent in an action for
money had and received; but this theory
is not well founded The transaction
above stated created no legal right in

third or to any part of the money placed
in the hands of the respondent. There
was no contract specific enough to be
the foundation Of any legal right in appel
liant. The distribution of the fund the
persons to whom it should go. the pro-
portion that each should have. and the
kind of disposition of il which would be
most beneficial to the recipients, were all
matters which were, in the first instance,
