WITH HER HUSBAND IN H ARMY


Julia Dent, was born in st. Louis in
1896, and was the daughter of Frede-
rick and Ellen Wrenshall Dent. She
was married to General then captain)
Grant in 1913. During the civil war
Mrs. Grant was with the general much
of the dine, and remained as near as
possible to him when he was cam
paigning. She saw her husband twice
inauguEated as president, and accom-
panied him on his journey around the
world. AS mistress Of the White House
institutions of the city. -Four children
were born to General and Mrs. Grant.
three sons and one daughter, all of
whom are living.
Miss Nellie, the daughter, who be-
came the wife Of Algernon Sartoris in
1874, has lived in Washington with her
mother for several years. Frederick
Dent Grant. the Oldest son, is in the
army, and two other sons, Jesse and
Ulysses Sherman, live at San Diego,
Cal, and are in business. During re-
cent years since General Grants death,
Mrs. Grant has spent most of her win
tiers in this city, living at Pill Q street,
while during the summer she usually
lived at Saratoga, Manchester-by-the-
Sea, and other popular resorts, until
the last two summers, when she re-
sided with her daughter, Mrs. Sar-
toris, at Coburg, Ont.
She was of domestic temperament
and devoted most of her time to her
home and children. She cared little for
society and always avoided public no.
tice as much as possible. Her devotion
to her husband was remarkable and
during the latter's unsuccessful years
before the civil war and when his for
tune was swept away shortly before
his death Mrs. Grant always bore her,
self Bravely and was an inspiration to
him.
Mrs. Grant was an authoress. She
wrote just one book-the story of her
life from her courtship to after the CIV
IL war. In it she says that Grant was
a poor peace soldier, but when war
was on He could no more resist the
sound of a fife or a drum or a chance
to fire a gun than a woman can resist
bonnets." Telling Of the fall of Vicks-
burg she says: "Then my captain was
a general. and l was a generals wife.
When my general became his coun-
try's president I was as proud Of him
as his country was"

Former President Cleveland'S ad-
dress at Philadelphia in favor of pro-
viding better educaSional facilities for
the negro race did him much credit.
Altogether apart from the question of
color or politics it iSa matter of public
duty and national nee that the
colored people in all ourcitles be given
the best opportunities possible for be-
coming good citizens. Mr.. Cleveland
treated the matter as an important
social problem and he made a strong
presentation of it.

Wall Street Must Help Itself.

Secretary Shaw declines to say any,
thing for publication as TO the atti
tude of the Treasury Department in
regard to the present money stringen-
CIV in New York. There is reason to
believe, however, that noactiOn what
ever is contemplated now or at any
time in the near future, and certainly
not as long as the interests involved
are not extended to the substantial
business operations of the country
outside of its present limited area. 1t
is understood that the department
takes the position that the govern
ment is not involved in the present
situation, and that Wall street must
rely on its own resources to tide over
the present Stringency. At this time
the treasury has no available cash on
hand above a moderate working bal
ance approximating s5s, 600, 900, and
it is not its present purpose to further
reduce this sun by making additional
deposits in national bank depositarieS
or otherwise.

Mrs. Grant spent last summer at
Coburg. Canada, but her condition at
that time was far from good. She was
taken quite i'll In October, and on the
advice of her physicians there was
hurriedly brought to Washington in a
special car, arriving here on the 18th

ceeded in walking about the house and
had been out of doors once or twice.

UNPLEASANT SURPRISE.
Husband at Breakfast Finds His Wife
Has Been Divorced.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 29.-Thomas A.
Herdman was a much surprised man
Thanksgiving morning. While seated
at the breakfast table, In his home at
2940 Starr street, with the woman he
supposed vas his wife sitting opposite,
he picked up q newspaper and read
therein that the afteI loo previous she
had secured a divorce from him and
alimony in the sum of $1,000. Then he
got mad.
At least this was the story that Mr..
Herdman told at the court house yes
terday morning when he came up to
secure official confirmation of the fact.
At the same time he secured the SER
vices of Attorney r. ]. Greene.
Mr.. Herdman was vfsibly ~perturbed
and angry when at the court house.
The suit was begun on October IA, and
on the 9th he was personally served
with notice Of the suit. He said that
he and his wife discussed the matter
fully at the time n agreed to sink
all Of their differences and to resume
their married life. This "a done. On
Wednesday n he took home q
turkey and the two occupied the same.
room as they had been doing. In the
morning he read that the day previous
she had got the divorce. What be-
came of the turkey is not known, but
there was not much Thanksgiving
cheer in that house.
In her petition the wife asserted that
he had written love letters to other
women n had received the same kind.
of epistles, and that he had sought to
bestow his affections upon other wom-
en-. She also charged cruelty and non
support, I'M 1t was upon the latter al
legation that she rested her case.
Herdman is a well known contractor,
and builder. BY an odd coincidence he
was sitting in court room No l as a
witness in the Wessel-Lansing a 81 at
the time his wife was getting a divorce
In No. 8.
Mr.. Herdman went into court yester-,
day n promised to open up the whole,
matter unless his wife came to terms,
I'M she surrendered the $1,000 rather
than give w her new-found freedom.

LITTLEFIELO WILL
DIRECT COMMITTEE
Will Take Prompt Action to
Get Anti Trust Measure
Before Congress.
NO TARIFF LIQUIDATION
This Will Give Opportunity for Con.
sideration of Anti Trust Measure,
Which Is to Have Right
of Way.

aWhsington, Dec. 4.-The house ju-
dietary committee today took prompt
action In the direction Of getting the
antitrust measure before congress at
the earliest possible moment.
All measures dealing with trusts will
be referred to the subcommittee with
Littlefield OF Maine as chairman. who
will go to work at once with a view to
reporting the bill to the full committee
before the holiday adjournment.
The committee today unanimously
voted to request the speaker to appoint
Jenkins Of Wisconsin chairman or the
judiciary committee.
= A Bill Will Pass.
Almost n reasonable antitrust bill
can pass the house without much diff
Guilty. The practical decision not to
press tariff legislation at this session
has cleared the atmosphere and many
eastern protectionists believe 1t good
policy to keep congress so busily en-
ployed over the trust question that
there Will remain neither time nor dis
position to monkey" with the tariff.
Evidently the word has gone out to
some of the big corporations that there
Is danger. Within the last few days
some of the most expert lobbyists In
the .country-men who never represent
anything but great interests-have
dropped into the hotels and taken first
lass rooms, IN the distinct understand
Ing that they expected to spend the
winter here. They will not work openly
to fight the amendment to the Sherman
law. The tide of sentiment in congress
Is much too strong for that, n any
show Of determined OPPOSITION on the
part of the trusts would surely result
In more drastic legislation than ever.
Sentiment All One Way.
1t is seldom at the opening Of con-
gress that sentiment In favor of any
piece of particular legislation Is so
overwhelming. There Is considerable
difference of opinion, of course regard
Ing methods. There Is a rumor that
The trust lobby proposes to divert con-
gress, IL 1t can, entirely away from
the Sherman law and in the direc-
ton Of a constitutional amendment.
The congressional leaders, however,
are not inclined to accept any such
program, because they are convinced
that the people understand the situa-
ton, and know that constitutional
amendment cannot possibly be secured,
IL at all, inside of two or three years.
The president bclleves-and most OF
his congressional advisers agree with
him-that from a purely political
standpoint there is nothing for the re-
publican majority to do except to take
Up the antitrust law, study 1t care
fully, and then seek to add to 1t such
amendments as have the approval of
the attorney general and the best law
yers in congress-. This Is not only the
present congressional program, but It
is at the same time an outline Of Presi-
lent Roosevelt's message.
