SIDNEY HERBERT'S LETTER.
THE GRAND ARMY VETERANS
MOVING ON WASHINGTON.

Florida VIII BE Well Represented
Information About "JOe" Brown
Pixies esired--Inform Sought
About other Matters-WOrried by
Spanish War Veternns-Other
Matters of General Interest.
Pine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla,
Oct. 4.-To-day all over this country,
from Maine to California, the G. A.
r. veterans and their friends are
moving on Washington, D. c., to the
thirty-sixth annual encampment of
this great soldiers organization As
commander of the Department of Flor
ida should be in the movement, yet
on sick bed L am hardly able to pen
ell a few lines in regard to the occa-
sion. 1 am in receipt of an elegant
card of invitation from the city of
Washington; also, one from the nation
al president of the Woman's Relief
Corps and another from the president
of the Ladies of the G.. A r., to sew
eral grand receptions that are to be
marked events of the encampment.
Washington will simply be overwhelm-
ed, and hundreds of visitors will find
no place to rest their weary heads.
Even the encampment, for lack of 9TH
er quarters will be held for the first
time in a church. Lack of funds has
cramped the committees in many inn
portant matters.
Florida will be pretty well represent
ed in point of numbers and make a
most attractive appearance in the pa
rade with moss covered color bearer,
waving palms, delicious pineapples on
native bamboo staffs, with rosy
oranges pendant. Perhaps an alligator
and other Florida curios may make
the department an object of special
interest. The parade will occupy some
five or six hours, if not more, in pass
ing the reviewing stand. The head of
column moves at 10 O'Clock sharp and
yet it will be two hours before Florida
and Georgia fall into line; which gives
some idea of the magnitude of the
great procession. 1 look for many
casualties in such a crowd, and it
seems that unusual preparations have
been made for them, several army sur
geons being ordered there to assist the
various emergency hospital corps. The
side trips to battlefields and corps and
regimental reunions will occupy the
entire week and present a scene such
as has never before been witnessed at
an encampment.

of Fourth u. S. Cavaly will be glad 70

During the centennial week of West
Point Military Academy the Morning
News, commenting on Grant, and Lee,
and sherman, and Johnson, and Sheri-
dan. and Jackson, all West Pointers,
who led the Northern and Southern
armies in the Civil War, stated that
their generalShip reflected the high
est credit upon the school in which
they were trained for their military
careers" Then followed this calm,
comprehensive and well-groun6ed
statement: The two great armies in
the war Illustrated the fact that Amer
leans are the best soldiers in the world,
and the leading of them illustrated the
TACT that West Point stands at the
front OF national military schools"
Now, much as l love my dear old
friend, Joe" Wheeler, l am not will
ing to put his recent utterances, or
those of Gen. Corbin, as to the supe-
riority of foreign armies to our own,
as a Whole, or in any branch of the
service. / am sorry TO admit that
when Americans hobnob with ROYALTY
ana get filled up with vanity and wine
they are apt to say foolish things
There is, 1t is true, a glare and glitter
ana dash in some of the European
armies that sort of dazzle and bewil-
der, but when it comes down to real

savannah reader of these letters
asks me for information about the

highest ranking officers and now the
highest is Col. Ernest A. Darlington
OF the Inspector generals department.
and formerly of the famous Seventh
cavalry, into which he graduated from
West Point in 1872. His promotions
were rapid and well deserved and he
will, if he lives, become inspector gen.
eral with the rank of brfgadier gem
eraL He will no doubt remain at the
head of the Georgia officers, as all the
others are simply captains or lieuten-
ants, with Capt. Lockett on the eve
of his promotion. Maj. George S.

GIANT JUDGE
Stood Between a Prisoner and
Excited Crowd.

Toledo O., Aug. 9-Hubert Lavoy,
the Point Place hack driver, known
as "the Indian" underwent prelim-
mary hearing before Justice Leflet
here on the charge Of attempting to
criminally assault Lizzie Hope, aged
II. He was bound over in the sum of
81 1000
The courtroom was crowded with
men during the hearing, all neighbors
of the little girl, and the feeling against
the prisoner, who is GA years old, ran
so high at one time that William Mo-
minee jumped up and yelled to the
crowd: "Get a rope!"
The crowd began to advance toward
the prisoner, when Justice Leflet, who
is a giant in stature, placed himself
in front of Lavoy, and, in thunder
tones, told the crowd to sit down or
he would send every one to Jail for con-
tempt of court. Major Leflet's deter
mined stand no doubt saved Lavoy's
life.

Little Girl Cried to Drowning

Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 9.--"Don't

words of encouragement shouted to
little four-year-old Richard Drake as
he tripped over the guard rail on the
forward deck of a canal boat passing
through this city at noon and fell,
with splash, into the Erie canal.
The speaker was the eight-year-old
sister Of the drowning boy, who, see-
ing no one else with courage enough
to jump into the water and effect a
rescue, leaped in after her baby
brother. When she came to the sur
face she grasped the clothing of the
half drowned boy with one hand and
struck out for shore with the other.
Both children would probably have
drowned but for the assistance of

Major J. L. Keener Must Now

Morgantown, w. Va, Aug. 9-Major
J. L. Keener, cattle dealer of Nor
gantown, who, five years ago swindled
farmers of this section out of $4,000,
has been captured at st. Louis, and
will be brought back to stand trial.
Several indictments hang over him in
this county and in Green and Fayette
counties, Pennsylvania. He was taken
by st. Louis officers a few days ago.
and Garrison Mcclure, a local farmer
who was one of his victims, went to st.
Louis to identify him.
A telegram from Mcclure says the
man jailed there is Keener beyond
question. Among others who lost
heavily here are Julien e. Fleming,
