PETER DOUGLASS. /"
The Story of the Origin of an Army
 Term Meaning a Dead Man.

Washington Evening Star
 Tn garrison life Peter Douglass means dead man-that is. officially. not really dead, observed an army officer "It had
 US origin at Fort Monroe quarter of a century or more ago. though there are
 number ot officers who knew the original
 Pete and quite d number more who knew
 the facts in regard to his case.
 one of the leading officers of the ar
 tiilery service today. then d Lieutenant
 was sent from Governors Island. in New
 fork harbor. to Fort Monroe, with a de- tachment of nineteen soldiers They came down by sea, and the first night out the soldiers got on to a barrel of fine whiskey
 which was in the hold. and by the aid of gI1nlet and some straws the most of the nineteen men were in very hilarious condition before midnight. On the second nignt out some of them tackled the bar rel again. and in short time they were was Peter Douglass. When the time came for them to land at Fort Monroe. Peter Douglass could not be found. It was generally thought ne had fallen overheard or, While intoxicated, had jumped over board. Anyhow, the Lieutenant turned over but eighteen men. He reported Pe- ter Douglass as having been drowned. and the record was made accordingly. Three days afterward, when the ship that brought the party down was unloading some freight at Charleston, $. C., Peter Douglass crawled out of the hold looking somewhat the worse for his experience AitSi DiaCahB up ne mdudBtu tO WOTk his way up to Fort Monroe where he sup posed he would join his company. but on presenting himself to the officer in com mand there he was told that as the re- cord there had shown that Peter Doug lass had been drowned they were re- quired to consider him dead, even if he was not dead
 Douglass admitted that he was pretty nearly dead but that he had managed to pull through Anyway, he was not ad- mitted to the quarters at the garrison. and was told that he had better move along; that he was out of the army as surely as he had ever been in it.
 But Potter did not go far away. That | evening he met some of his comrades. | three in number. from Governors Island | and they celebrated his coming to life Tn | true soldierly manner. The celebration | wound up in the guardhousc there. as did | the celebrators. The record of the guard | house showed that. though Peter Doug | lass had been reported dead a few days before, he was very much alive. Two | days afterward the names of the four were sent to the officer in command IS a preliminary to having them courtmartial-

cd and punished for disorderly conduct and other violations of the laws of the garrison. The officer. who was a strong advocate of the power of record. ruled that as Peter Douglass had never entered the garrison. he could not be courtmar- tiaied. and that. in fact. Peter Douglass was dead beyond resurrection. He was therefore. turned out and again told to move on. but as he did not realize that he was dead he did not do so.
 He hung around the garrison for some time. but finally wandered away and got back to New York. Oficially he has re- mained dead ever since, for the record has never been changed. The officers pre- ferred to let him remain dead and get him out of the army in that way than to try and reform him by courtmartial, for he seemed to pe beyond reform.

Two Points of Interest Disposed OF

Washington, Jan. BIN the house Mr..
Dalzell, from the committee on rules, re-
ported favorably the Tawney resolution
to direct the ways and means committee
to Investigate the question Of whether the
treaty making power could negotiate rec
iprocity treaties effecting the customs
revenues without action by the house and
asked for action upon it. The resolution
was adopted without division. Mr.. Dali
cell followed this resolution with another
from the same committee to make the
oleomargar1n hill a special order for Mon
day next, to continue until disposed of.
A roll call was demanded and the special
order was adopted, 1872 to II.

ONE OF THE BOYS.
Mother Rather Got the Start of Them.

Sometimes the mother plays turn on
The young people and greatly to their
benefit. \ young lady in Memphis, Tenn,
Miss B. Dye Of 222 Carroll avenue, COM
ments in an interesting way about the
harmless little deception her mother
played upon Of the family during the
summer.
She says: Every member of our family
could write a testimonial about Postum
Food Coffee and what it has done for us.
Father has really been made over since
quitting coffee and using Postum, but I
must tell you about brother.
when he came home from college last
summer he was thin and looked dread
fully. We questioned him about his food
and drink. He said he drank coffee. of
course, can't get along without a good
cup of coffee three times day Mother
did not say anything to him, but made
Postum for him just the same, and at the
next meal he complimented her on the
coffee. Several times he said: Now if
Just had such coffee as this at school
could make better averages in my studies
$50, during the whole summer he drank
Postum, thinking it was strong coffee, and
we could all see, from day to day, how
much he was improving in health His
complexion gradually cleared up, and he
gained in every way. When he went
back in the fall mother told him the secret
she had kept for over three months, and
put several packages of Postum in his
trunk .
.sYou may depend upon it the lesson was
one he will never forget. My younger
brother quit coffee abouta year ago and
has been using Postum Food Coffee, and
he has been built up from a regular in
valid until he is now fat, rosy checked
boy, full of life and fun. Just the other
day he remarked he was getting along so
much better in his studies than ever be-
fore and he wondered what caused the
change. Mother remarked 1t is
Postum.
