GRANT AND MILES.

A correspondent. for the Chicago
hronicle directs attention to a letter
written BY General Grant to General
Meade on the field of battle in Virginia.
The letter follows: "Grant's Head
quarters, April 2, 1865. General Meade
Miles has made big thing OF it and de-
serves the highest praise for the pertina-
city with which he stuck to the enemy
until he wrung from him victory. AS
the cavalry was coming down the Cox
and River roads am very much in
hopes we will hear tonight OF the cap
ture OF the balance of Heth's and VIII
cox's divisions. think cavalry force
has been thrown to the very bridge over
which they expected to escape in adj
vance. U. S. Grant, Lieutenant Cen
eral." And yet this man to whom
General Grant referred as deserving of
"tf highest praise for the pertinacity
with which he stuck to the enemy until
he wrung from him victory" was per-
mitted to retire from the service of his
country without one word of commenda-
ton from the president OF the United
States.

PLAYING WAR.

A case cad enough to bring construc-
tive tears to the painted eye Of wooden
image is that which occurred during the
heat and excitement one day recently
in the mimic war along the coast Of
Maine. Rear Admiral Coghlan and a
body of marines that landed in the
morning and fought all day were just
about to celebrate their great victory
when a solitary horseman or yellow
tele gram or some other channel OF COM
munication brought the sad news that
this very command that had been fight
ing all day had been constructively
killed just before it landed in the morn
ing and that the umpires couldn't take
into account the actions Of dead men, SO
their afternoons work was not to 60
into the school histories. OF course no
one but an American marine would
fight for ten hours after he was officially
dead and even he wouldn't do it if they
had broken the news to him earlier in
the game.-Chicago Daily News Of Aug.

A "wEIGHTY" FACT.

The New York Press, a republican
paper, recently said many unpleasant
Things. and at the same time some very
untrue things, about Grover Cleveland.
The Washington Post, replying, skill
fully disposee OF some OF the Press mis-
ct atements and concludes with what 1t
calls "another sober word to the Press, !"
adding:
"The one man to whom far more than
to any one of his contemporaries this era
of prosperity is due is the president
whose administration the Press reviles.
lie not only killed free coinage. but in
doing so, made sure OF the election OF
the congress that passed the Dingley
tariff act. Has tn Press ever reflected
on that fact? 1t is weighty."
In other words, according to the Post,
Mr.. Cleveland should be kindly treated
by republican organs not only because
he killed free coinage. to which the re.
publican party is opposed, but also be-
cause in doing so he made sure OF the
election of republican congress. And
the Post calls this "weiehty fact"
Surely il must be "weighty fact"
with republicans. Perhaps with demo-
Gratis it is also a ''weighty fact" that Mr..
CLEVELAND not only sought to kill that
which the democratic national platform
for 1888 described as 1.-the coinage OF the
constitution but also "made sure" OF
the election of republican congress and
made possible the passage of high
protective tariff bill.

TWO LIFE POLICIES MISSING
Not Handed Over to the Administrator of
of PennelTs Estate.

1t appears there We're two life pol
icies which had not been handed over
to the administrator. One was for
$1,000 and the other for $4,000.
Those two policies had been assigned
by Pennell to Attorney Wallace
Thayer, in trust In one he was re-
ferred to as "Wallace Thayer, trus-
tee,'' and in the other he was desig-
mated wallace Thayer, as trustee"
The insurance companies took legal
counsel in the matter and held up pay
ments. ]. Frederick Pennell, the adj
ministratOr OF the estate, was called
in and insisted on having more in
formation before he would consent to
the payment of any insurance money
to Thayer as trustee.
1t was then that the story of Pen
nelPs alleged defalcations and his plans
to commit suicide were made known.
The $4,000 Insurance money assigned
to Thayer by Pennell in trust is sup
posed to be paid over to Mrs. Burdick
in accordance with the provisions of
the bond for $4,000 which Pennell
gave prior to his death. Thayer won't
talk about it. In fact. he has declined
to given even the administrator of
Pennelrs estate any information con-
cerning it.
The administrators urged that he
was entitled 70 know the nature of the
trust before he could consent to have
the money paid over Thayer still re-
fused to say what the trust was. Thos.
Penney. attorney for the Pennell es-
tate accordingly charged the fnsur-
ance companies to pay over no money
to Thayer. The probability is that
the $4,000 will be paid into the
courts. Penney states that if Pennell
swindled any estates in the east he
penney was absolutely ignorant of it.

MANS UNDOING
Herman GOerner, of st. Louis, Loses
His Mind and is at City
Hospital.

ST. Louis, April 7.-Crying and pit
eously begging the attendants to give
him a cigarette, Herman Goerner, an
iron worker, 40 years old, living at
2S47 South jefferson avenue, lies in
the observation ward of the city hos
pital. He was brought to the insti-
tuition Sunday by a friend, who said
that Goerner had become demented
through smoking, and that he con-
tinually had a cigarette in his mouth.
He is said to have smoked as many
as 100 in day and has smoked for
20 years. He would wake up at night
and smoke half dozen before he
could go to sleep again. His hands
are in continuous motion, and he is
in state of extreme nervous eXhaus-
tion.
Goerner, in his delirium, fancies he
can cure the sick by the laying on of
hands. On the suggestion that the
hospital contained many sick persons
his friend persuaded him to go there.

CORBIN'S AMBITION
Is AGAIN DASHED
Adiutaut General for Third Time
Refused Admission to Met
rOpOIitan Club.

Washington. April For the third
time Maj. Gen. henry {. Corbin, adj
jutant general of the army. yester-
day was denied election TO member
ship in the Metropolitan club of this
city. The board of governors of the
club met last Saturday. and Gen. Bate
proposed Gen. Corbin's name as a can
didate for membership in the club,
but after some time spent in discus
sion the meeting adjourned without
taking action upon the nomination.
Yesterday the board again took up
the matter, finally voting against the
admission of the adiutant general to
the privileges of membership.
The action of the board of govern
ors of the club was a severe blow to
the ambition of the adjutant general,
who had fortified himself with the in
dorsement of President Roosevelt,
Secretary of War Root and Gen. Leon
ard Wood. The high standing of the
sponsors only made Corbin's downfall
greater.
The reason upon which the board
bases its decision is that Corbin had
some trouble with one of Chicago's
clubs. from which he was expelled,
and under the circumstances the rules
of the Metropolitan club could not
permit of his election to membership
in that organization.
