who inspected his company preferred
charges against him as to the condi-
ton of his company and wagons. Of
these charges he was acquitted. But
that did not end the matter. 1t is
well known to those familiar with
the old army that when conspirators
begin to seek court-martials they
usually succeed in some manner.
Charges were later preferred against
Davidson for "breach of arrest and
gaming in the presence of enlisted
men," He had not been placed in
close arrest during thetria1 before the
court which acquitted him, but was
simply ordered to remain with his
company under arrest. He did not
leave the ranch of FL Louz, nor did
he leave his company. The assertion
as to gaming was that he had thrown
q $40 bill on table that a Mexican
had in front of one of the huts at
that ranch, where some of the soldiers
played monte. The judge advocate
general, in May, 1873, reported:
.@The new evidence submitted may be
deemed to cast q doubt upon the guilt of
the accused. In view of this doubt this
the sentence of the accused was probably
too severe. He has suffered under this
sentence two and half years, and his
reappointment to the army would not be
orejudicial to the interests Of military jus
Ssce."

SOME THUMB-RING LORE.
Facts of Interest Concerning Famous
Specimens and Wearers in
Ancient History

The custom of rings upon the
,humb prevailed in England until the
:lose of the eighteenth century, and
of very ancient origin. There is a
nummy case in the British museum
which represents an Egyptian lady
wearing rings upon the thumbs of
10Th her hands. The Romans were
:reatly addicted to this practice, and
IS many of their thumb rings were
most cumbersome and announcement,

The Emperor Trajan possessed "win-

81 inches in width and bore a bust in
nigh relief of his consort, Plotina.
English thumb rings do not appear to
lave been less massive. During the
after part of the middle ages they
ormed a part of the necessary adorn-
ment of the bishop when he was ar
aged in full pontifcals.
Thomas "a Beckett possessed a
thumb ring set with a valuable ruby,
which was about the size of hens

VII. of France. At the reforma ton,

thus bringing thumb rings back into
ashton for awhile. They had long
been abandoned by the upper classes
and had gradually come to be consid-
cred indicative of the burgess class.
Thumb rings were often set with the
tooth of some animal as an amulet. A
VOLTS tooth was supposed to act as
charm against assault, while bad
gers tooth brought wealth and gen.

The crapandine, or toadstone, was
also used in this way, as it was sup

6IC ENAIOR HOAh Is noI oniy d
=, statesman, but loveable
man of the plain people,
said a former army officer to-day.
The senator is now almost rs years
of age, and of course is not as
strong physically as he once was, al
though mentally is he a tower of
strength.
81 called on him at the senate one
morning recently, to tell him that
my bill for restoration in the army
was hung up. in the house of repre-
-sentatives. He told me that after
lunch he would personally look into
the case. Although he had many
matters of greater Importance on his
mind, when the time came the old
gentleman took me by the arm and
walked that long distance from the
senate to the house. That body was
in session, and / remained out in the
corridor while he went inside. He
saw members of the committee on
military affairs, and then left the
case in charge of representative
from Massachusetts,, who is to look
after it.
"Now, if I had been a politician,
might not have been surprised at a
senator doing so much for me. But
I am not politician, and 1 have not
voted in Massachusetts, for many
years. The senator knew me as a
citizen of Massachusetts, who had
served in the civil war and after
wards in the regular army. He
knew that had been unjustly
turned out of the army, and he de-
termined to help me get justice. He
had the. bill passed by the senate
two months ago, and now it must be
passed by the house. I am sure that
It will be all right, because the SEN
ator has taken a personal interest
in it. My Uncle Tom and he were
classmates at Harvard; hence he
knows the family, and has turned
aside from his duties of statesman
ship long enough to give me help
ing hand. Out of many years ex-
perience L can say that there are
few senator's who would do so much
for one who can do nothing in re-
turn, except express heartfelt
thanks"
Lieut.. Francis S. Davidson, who thus
tells of the kindness of the venera BILE
statesman from Massachusetts,, was
q cadet at West Point from July 1,
1862, to January 81, 1865, when he was
commissioned second lieutenant in
the Fifth Massachusetts cavalry, and
served with that regiment until Oc-
tober 81, 1865, when he was honora-
bly, mustered out with the regiment
On March z, 1867, he was commissioned
second lieutenant of the Ninth United
States cavalry and promoted to first
lieutenant, July 81, 1867. He served
with his regiment on the Texas from
tier against hostile Indians until July
1875, when he was ordered with his
company on a scout and to make a
temporary camp at water hole called
Gel Lous ranch"
Lieut.. Davidson is not the first GOOD
soldier who has suffered from envies
and jealousies; and it was in 1875 that
his prosecutions began. The writer
had personally known him for almost
80 years, and hence is familiar with
his story. When he left Fort Brown

as the necessities and comfort of an in

In fact, the systems have been so gen.
erous in caring for the babies and have
accepted the charges so promptly that 1t
will doubtless have its effect upon those
parents that desire to get rid of their on
springs and may lead to new code OF
infant abandonment and entirely super
sede the old method Of leaving the child
on a window ledge. a doorstep or turn
ing 1t over to the tender mercies of the
police matron or the sisters at some
founding asylum.
The railroad men who think the action
of the systems in adopting the children
rather an unwise policy shake their heads
knowingly and predict that the practice
of leaving them in passenger coaches will
become so general that the lines will be
compelled to establish founding asylums
of equal size and capacity with. the hos
pitfalls that they maintain. or have each
baby tagged and its mothers name, des-

entirely prevent the company from hav-
ing children left on its hands, as the
child can smuggle 1t aboard the train in
a basket or some other unsuspicious-
looking parcel.
The only safeguard that is suggested
to prevent the necessity of these precau-
tions is thought to be an announcement

The old bankruptcy case Of d. Abra-
ham was up In the Federal Court yester-
day before Judge Jones. Since the failure
of ID. Abraham in 1893 the case has fig-
ured largely in the Federal Court. ;.
1t has been carried from the Bankrupt
cy Court to the Supreme Court of the
United States. It has been in the Court
OF Appeals at New Orleans. When Abra-
ham failed he named II. b. Davidson his
assignee. Mr.. Davidson sold the goods
to Louis Bernheimer. At this juncture
the creditors went into the Bankruptcy
Court with the case and Judge Bruce or
dered a. Deputy Marshal to take charge
OF the stock. Mr.. Bernheimer appealed
to the United States Court Of Appeals at
New Orleans. . This court decided that
Mr. Bernheimcr was entitled to the stock.
The creditors of Mr.. Abraham appealed
the case to the United States Supreme
Court which reversed the decision of the
lower court and carried the matter before
Judge Jones. The liabilities of Mr.. Abra-
ham were about $4,000.
Before Judge Jones yesterday mo-
ton was made to declare void the ex-
