SEPARATION
Lieut.. 0'NeiII Remembered and
Aided an Old COmrade Who
Fought at Seven Pines.

The closing hours OF duty OF Lieutenant
Edward o'Neill. OF the Second Police sta
tlon. were marked by a peculiar incident
Today II is just Mr.. Edward O'Neill. for
the police commissioners so willed it.
At 1O:31 Saturday night wagon call
came I'm from box II, located at the juno
tion of Charles and orms street.
Presently the wagon returned and a
bald headed. -whiskered man alight-
ed from It.
Lieutenant ONeill glanced at the man
and from the dim past there was re-
called a man whose features resembled
those OF the person before him.
1t was one of those tricks of memory
and quick as thought Lieutenant oNeill
exclaimed:
Are not you Michael Galvin?"
The old man replied that that was his
name.
Forty years ago Lieutenant O'Neill and
Michael Calvin were members % Com
pany b, Second Rhode Island.
In the battle of Seven Pines, before
Richmond, O'Neill was in the front and
Calvin I'm the rear rank.
o'Neill was shot in the leg and fell and
Calvin stepped forward and filled the
breach in the line.
From that instant up to Saturday night.
the two had never seen or heard of each
other.
Calvin said that his wife was dead and
that he had arrived in town broken all
but TO the extent OF several cents.
He had daughter In Lonsdale and 10
reach her was endeavoring to sell his
coat and vest.
He was taken in on suspicion
Lieutenant O'Neil bade his old com
rade put on his coat and vest and pro-
viding him with money saw him safely
embarked for Lonsdale.
Calvin. although born and raised in
Providence. had been here but once since
the close Of the war, and that was Is
years ago.
He has been residing I'm Colorado.

GEN. MILES
WILL BE
RETIRED.
That Plan Has Been Decided
on and Will Be Carried Out.
No Denial al White House

Washington. April 1.-THE issues arc
fairly joined between the lieutenant gen.
eral of the army and the secretary of war.
The troubles. which began long ago un-
der the Cleveland administration, have
finally reached so critical a stage that
the compulsory retirement of Gen. Miles
at an early date is an open secret, and is
not denied at the White House
In explanation OF President Roosevelt's
position, ono OF his close friends. who uu-
questionably speaks with authority. says:
THE question is not personal one be-
tween Gen Miles and Secretary Root At
present Secretary Root has on his shoul-
ders a heavier burden than any other
member OF the administration. No man
less strong could carry it at ALL and now,
at the very time when he requires the
most loyal support of every subordinate
who wishes well to the army and nation,
he has to spend much OF his strength in
meeting the opposition Of the command
ing general.
1T General Miles is retired. is will he
simply because, after patient trial, Presi-
dent Roosevelt feels that. on the highest
ethical grounds his retention would work
grave and lasting injustice TO the army
as a whole"
As some OF Gen. Miles friends have
said that it wosld be unfair To retire him.
IL should he said in the first place that h.
secured his promotion TO "A brigadler gen
eralship only through the similar forced
retirement OF Gen. ord. he. himself. being
jumped over a number of his senior Of
iicers into the vacancy thus created; and
I'm the second place. that the only action
OF the kind taken by President Roosevelt
since he has been i'm office was I'm the case
OF Col. Noyes, who was compulsorily re-
tired after reaching the age OF g. on the
recommendation Of Gen. Miles.
In other words the general has himself
recommended and protited by the very
action which his friends now fear may
be taken at his expense. If he should 20
out before Gen. Brooke is retired, Gen.
Brooke, who is Gen. Miles senior both in
service and In age. would undoubtedly he
put in his place as lieutenant general as
Il is known that the administration has
been very desirous of recognizing Gen.
Brooke's long and faithful service. Gen.
Brooke during the Civil War rendered
equally meritorious service with Gen.
Miles. Gen. Brooke was the first to OBJ
tain a commission and throughout the
Civil War he retained his advantage. end
ing the war as Gen. Miles senior. After
peace came. Gen. Miles was promoted
over Gen. Brookes head. AS Gen. Brooke
will necessarily hold the position but a
brief period before his retirement for age
Gen. 8 NJ. B. Young is likely To- succeed
Gen Brooke and Gen. Chaffees promo

Tho new half-mlle track at Narragan-

dressing was put ON Saturday afternoon.
A strip near the pole has been used for
jogging a week or more and the inside
half was completed first to get the benefit
of workouts and be trodden into shape.
There will remain "a little smoothing and
ironing out. as IL were. which can be done
after the horses have worn down the foot
ing "a bit and * has been scraped and
brushed n few times. The fence, too,
must be built. but the track itself Is now
ready and no amount of storms can make
any further interference.
Preparations will now be made for the
big opening planned for Memorial day.
As IL is To inaugurate series OF half
mile meetings and celebrate the compile
tion OF the little ring, the races will prob
ably be all half-mile heats. This Will be
easier for the horses that are scarcely in
training so early in the season and will
also prevent any marks being mad c. An
attractive program is being prepared that
will contain some special features and

GRAND CIRCUIT ENTRIES.
Entries TO the early closing events for
the Grand Circuit meeting at Narragan-
eett park have closed and, while IL is
yet too soon 20 secure official Information,
the statement can be made that classes
filled we'll and there may be general sur
prise when the full extent OF the entry
list Is made public. The big stables will
all be represented and Ed Geers has en-
tered for the first time I'm several seasons.
His string contains some promising ones,
and II is rumored that he may have de-
signs on the hoger Williams $4,000 stake
for 2:lI trotters.
Scott Hudson and Jimmie Gatcomb
under their new firm name of Hudson
e. Gatcomb, have named long string.
The big Bostonians, Thomas W. Lawson
and j. Malcolm Forbes, will be well rep
resented.
1t Is rumored that the Park Brew $4,000
stake for 2:l0 PAGERS has a long list OF
entries. and Il seems likely 10 break an
other record for Ueld OF starters, as IL
did last year. This pair iorm the only
two $4,000 events offered by any associa-
ton. and the Park Brew Is the only $l0,-
600 stake ever offered for a pacing class.
so their popularity may be well under
stood
No attempt at an inclusive list OF en-
tries can be made 40 early, as entries from
the west are still coming in. Everything
last goes However, they are quite well
sn, and the stake book should be out In
the course OF a week.
1t is said that the list OF big stables
entered includes nearly everything that
appears In any of the stakes along the
Grand Circuit, and the liberal system OF
payments will probably be responsible for
an entry list that will be second TO few
IL any around the big line.
