Charles E. Brown, an EaStpOrt

for many years been the chief of the
Passamaquoddy Indians, living in their
principal village at Pleasant Point, in

of fine presence, and lead his people in
tribal matters with great dignity and
wisdom. He is held in the highest es-
TEEN by his white neighbors. He was
born in Perry July 10, 1903, and is
consequently in his ninety-eighth year.
Capt. Sofiel is member of the Maine
Society of Sons of the American Revo-
luton. He is son of Capt. Selmore
Soetomah, who with others of his tribe
served under Capt. John Allen in SER
vice on the eastern frontier, and was
living as late as 1860, being then 103
years old. He was the leader of a band
of fifty Indians who captured an armed

doubtless be recalled by a few sur
vivors of the last battle of the civil
war when they hear of the death Of
Gen. Egbert Brown.
When line of Confederate cavalry
was slowly retiring from the field on
the plains of Brazos Santiago in Texas,
where the blue and the gray had met
in deadly encounter for the last time,
soldier turned in his saddle, and,
after repeating the words OF the great
French marshal he threw his gun to
his shoulder and fired. 1t proved to be
the last shot of the last battle and 1t
was certainly the last shot of the long
war Fortunately, as a matter favor
able to the truth of history, the man
who achieved distinction in connection
with this memorable event is a perfect
ly reliable man. His name is s. II.
Barton. He was captain in the Con-
federate army and he was held in high
esteem by his superiors and dearly
loved by his brave Texans, whose dan
gers and privations he shared on the
march and in the trenches where balls
fell like hail Promotion sought him
many times after the smoke of battle
had cleared from a red field and sol
diers were talking of his dauntless
courage, but he preferred to serve with
the comrades of his boyhood.
There are men still living who can
bear witness to the fact that Captain
Barton fired the last shot at Brazos
Santiago, and, strangely enough,
among these is an old soldier by the
name of Ney, who claims he is de-
scendant of the famous French mar
shall, who fired the last shot at the
Cossacks.
A reliable citizen of Del Rio, in dis
cussing this matter, said: Capt. Bar

A Mas.aohu.,ett. Regiment.

The gray-haired veterans of the 5Sth

observed the anniversary of Washing
toms birthday by a reunion and dinner
at Boston.
Comrade Joseph B. Read of South
Hanson read a very interesting and
carefully prepared paper covering the
regiments experience during the
civil war. from the time that it left
Readville in 1864 until its return to the
same camp July 16, 1865, Is months
later.
The regiment, he stated, was re-
cruited by Col. S. t. Richmond, but he
could not be mustered in because the
regiment was not complete, so that it
left Readville under command of Maj.
Wilton, and it was never completed.
Camp was broken April %, and the
regiment started for Virginia, arriving
at Washington on the 3Oth, when it
went into camp outside of that city.
The regiment arrived at Bull Run
battlefield during a terrific thunder
storm. The 5Sth was assigned to the
I'd division, first brigade, under Gen.
Burnside. and was the last regiment
to cross the Rappahannock river when
the bridge was destroyed.

EpIgram ON Clubs.

The immense growth of London
clubs and of the opportunities afforded
for games of chance may serve to re-
call an epigram which ''Bentley's Mis-
cellany" attributed sixty years ago to
Sydney Smith.
He was at Sunday dinner at Hol-
land House, when the hostess said that
womans passion for diamonds was
surely less ruinous than mans pas
sion for play at his club. Thereupon
Sydney Smith took a card and wrote
the following impromptu:
Thoughtless that all that's brightest
fades,
Unmindful of that knave of spades,
The sexton and his subs;
How foolishly we play our parts.
Our wives on diamonds set their
hearts,
We set our hearts on clubs.

Water with Fixed Air.

A magazines published in 1928 gives
the following method to improve water
for drinking: Let the water, wnen
boiled be put into a common barrel
churn, where it may be agitated to any
degree that may be wished for. In
the course of its being thus agitatei
it will absorb atmospheric air, and
other elastic fluids with which it may
come in contact. 1t will thus become
a liquor, safe, palatable and whole
some, to be obtained with little trou-
BILE and expense, and accessible in its
utmost perfection to the poorest in
dividual. Those who wish to drink
this wholesome beverage in its utmost
perfection should, after having it
boiled and filtered, cause it to be
churned as above directed, then bot
tied, with a couple of dried raisins in
each bottle; this will give it a suffi-
cient quantity of fixed air. If then
used it becomes truly delicious.

Gen Egbert Brown, who recently
died at West Plains, Mo-, was in COM
mand of the federal troops in southern
Texas, and he was doubtless well in
formed concerning the termination of
hostilities. Gen E. Slaughter, who
commanded the Confederate troops en-
camped at Brazos Santiago, had heard
rumors of the surrender of the armies
commanded by Lee. johnson and other
generals, but he had received no Off
cial notice of these facts from the war

affair of such Importance until he was
better informed Thereupon, Colonel
Barrel, at the head of a considerable
force, was dispatched to break up the
rebel camp. A hot Dattle ensued and,
curiously enough, most of the fighting
was done on the old field of Palo Alto,
where Gen. Taylor achieved a victory

on the southern shore of the Rio

The Ordnance Department of the
army is now conducting some interest
ing experiments with reduced range
cartridges, for Stimulating, at short
range, the service target practice at
long ranges, and these new cartridges
are in the hands of troops at five posts
undergoing trial 1t has been found
in target practice that the range of
the service rife is such as to render it
dangerous, and another condition
which has made the reduced range
cartridges desirable is the difficulty in
procuring suitable ranges adjacent to
some of the military posts. The fea-
lures of the new cartridge are said to
be a reduction of the powder charge in
proportion to the range, SO that firing
at the closer range with a smaller
charge can produce the same accuracy
in craftsmanship as would be gained
by a greater charge and a greater
range.
The department has also decided to
replace the black powder now in the
hands of the troops with smokeless
powder for gallery practice with small
arms as soon as the stock of the former
now issued runs out.
