COL. ANDREW WOODMAN TALKS
OF THE WAR OF THE REBELLION

served me going after the man, anC
when l took him prisoner l received
much praise and was given the gun aE
reward.
A Second Prisoner
Another capture l made was that
/ of a deserter. but / did not know he
was such at the time. 1t was while
riding outside of the camp that ]
came upon a colored man who said
there was a bad looking soldier hiding
in a house not far from where we
were. l did not realize the danger al
the time and started out to capture
what / thought was a rebel spy. When
came upon him he jumped to his
feet. but / was ready for him with my
revolver. The next morning word was
| received at the camp that a dangerous
deserter with valuable information in
his possession was travelling South,
and we were to keep a sharp lookout
for him. My prisoner proved to be
the man wanted and he was returned
to jail"
Interesting Letters These
Mr. Woodman has in his possession
letters sent to the War Department
| by his colonel, testifying to hi
bravery and verifying the facts as Sc
out above
1t can truly be said that the Wood
man family is a fighting one, Colone
Woodman's forefathers having take1
part in the Colonial, Revolutionary
War of 1912 and the Mexican War
and himself in the Civil War.
On the walls of Colonel Woodman',
den are officers commissions held by
his forefathers, signed by President
James Madison, and James Polk. Sa
bers. swords, canteens and photograph
of Grand Army men also decorate tht
walls.
Cent Came Back
A copper cent stamped with the
initials A. j. W., also has an interest
ing history attached to it. In 1856.
while in Maine. Colonel WoodmaI
stamped his initials on the coin, and
strange to say, while in Massachusetts,
in 1876. this same coin came back Il
Tie Delawarean. after an absence o
"a years.
A desk of ironwood proves the chic
attraction of the relics This desl
came into the WoOdman family il
1749. and has passed from one son t
another Mr.. WOodman's explanation
of how the relics came into his pos
session is interesting and would hav,
to be heard to be appreciated.

Where the Soldier viii Stand
rom the indianapolis Journal.

From the indianapolis Journal.
A Congressman who has been in
Iowa finds indications of a reaction 1ie-
garding the attacks upon the army in
the Philippines. There is every reason
why a sentiment hostile to the slander-
ing o. the soldiers in the Philippines
should appear Fifty thousand volun-
teers went to the archipelago, the most
of whom have returned. They are
scattered all over the country. Most
OF them are proud of their service and
are naturally indignant at the ISLANDERS
which have been circulated about
them. There are half as many men
who have been in the regular army
who have been discharged and come
back. anu the returned regulars must
be several thousand men. Here are at
least 10000 men who have been in the
Philippines and are now in this coun-
try. y far the larger part of them
are indignant at the charges of
cruelty which have been made against
the whole army, Judging from the re-
marks of those met in this city. There
are. moreover, in the country more
than 100000 men who were in the
Spanish-American army who are as
nearly related to the Philippine sol
diers as half-brothers, and consequent
" will naturally resent charges Of bru-
taiity against those Of the Philippines.
Here is "a soldier vote" of considerable
proportions that can be relied upon to
stand by the Soldier man" in the
Philippines. if any demagogue shall
undertake to repeat the ISLANDERS of
Carmac, Patterson and Rawlins in the
campaign.

REIGN OF HIS EQUINE MAJESTY
IS OVER UNTIL ANOTHER YEAR

The reign of his equine majesty is
over until another year.
To do him homage many sat in the
broiling sun for hours and aristocratic
backs long used to luxurious support,
found themselves without support Of
any sort.
The crowd yesterday was the largest
yet, and many were here from neigh
boring towns in Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania men were crack
a-iack riders, and all the grandstand
women eyed them admiringly.
Men in attendance yesterday dis
carded their mixed green Norfolk
Jacket suits of the previous day. Why?
They were appropriate and becoming.
But they clung to their Panama hats.
BY the way, there are many hats that
pose as Panamas, but what are the
cdds? so few really can tell the true
from the false. The proper caper so
far as the Panama is concerned, is to
have the brim turned down. It may
have many dents, or no dents in the
crown. but the brim must make an ef-
fort in the direction of his lordships
nose.
Some few women were seen wearing
the Panamas, and whether trimmed OF
worn in its masculine simplicity, the
wearer was regarded with envious
eyes by those not so fortunate as to
possess one.
There was little visiting among the
box holders yesterday and still fewer
who availed themselves of the prone
made in front of the grand stand. Il
was an excellent opportunity to go on
show. of which most of the women
present fought shy.
Numerous children were in evidence
and seemed to have a better time even
than their elders. They walked and
ran about. and visited among them.
