SALVATION ARMY.
An Appeal Issued by Friends Of the
ORGANIZATION.

The Rev. Joshua Stansfield, Joseph Tag
CART and c. III. Badger have sent out an APP
peal to philanthropic persons for aid for
the local station of the Salvation Army. In
this appeal they set out the need of the
Army, whose reverses have been numerous
since the first of the year. The appeal
says:
Under the capable leadership of Staff
Captain and Mrs. j. E. Atkins, for a year
past, the work has been selfsupporting. no
general appeal being made to the public,
except for the excellent Christmas dinner
and cheer to 4,22S persons, which was made
possible by the active cooperation of the
daily press and the generosity of many OF
our citizens.
During the recent epidemic of smallpox
in our city, Staff Captain and Mrs. Atkins
household were stricken, and after a quar-
antine of six weeks their six-months-old
baby died. The absence of these leaders
from the work, by quarantine, has resulted
in serious financial embarrassment. The
rent for the building for three months is
now owing, $500; loan of $50 for funeral
expenses and some other miscellaneous
items. s29, making a total of $685. which is
the work of these worthy people. The bur-
den to them is growing intolerable. but If
all who sympathize with their labors In the
city will Immediately give as they are able,
the burden will be removed and the self
supporting work continued"
Subscriptions are asked to be left at the
newspaper offices with a clear designation
of their purposes, or to the Salvation Army
headquarters, AZ South Capitol avenue.

Ii Didn't Like to See Orange-COlored
Flowers Blooming on Erin's Day.


1t was the cat There is no doubt about
that. But why did the cat do it? This
is question an amateur florist has been
trying to answer to his own satisfaction.
Last Saturday. said he, Il had pretty
bed of two or three hundred crocus bios
SONS. They were nearly all of a rich
orange color. Sunday morning almost
every bloom was broken or bruised. A few
yards away was another small bed of white
and purple blossoms, of which not one was
harmed. member of the household said
she had heard a cat yowling during the
investigation and found some gray hairs
on the broken flowers. They were those
of a cat, and there was evidence the feline
vandal had deliberately rolled over the
crocus blooms until all were crushed.
Yesterday, while looking out or the WIN
dow, l saw a large gray cat, with a green
ribbon about its neck, crawl along the
fence until IL reached the flower bed. There
IL stopped as If surveying the wreck. Sud-
denly II reached out paw and nattened
a bloom that was trying to raise Its head.
The fiattening process was repeated sew
eral times, and then the cat crawled away.
l followed ii to the back gate, and, by
questioning boy in the alley learned the
cat belonged to a neighbor who was loyal
son of st. Patrick. / didn't make any
complaint, for / knew my neighbor would
either have killed the cat or offered to
pay the damage. 1t was not his fault, but
/ have been wondering how the cat i'm
bibed so much antipathy toward an orange
color. AS stated. it had destroyed only
the orange crocuSes. The white and pur-
pie were untouched. Perhaps the cat rea-
soned that anybody with such a wealth OF
orange-colored flowers must be an Orange
man, and that peaceable Orangemen never
show their colors except on the 18th OF
July"

COL. PERRY APPOINTED
SUCCEEDS THE LATE GEN. FOSTER
As aUARTERMAsTER GENERAL.
Veteran HOnored by the Governor
Has a Brilliant War Record-Ap-
pointment n Popular One.

COL Gran Perry was yesterday appointed
by Governor Durbin to succeed the late
Gen. Robert S. Foster as quartermaster
general of the Indiana National Guard. The
appointment OF Colonel Perry is extremely
pleasurable to army men and to State Of
hc0s. He has resided in Indianapolis for
Eany years.
Colonel Perry's war record is brilliant.
He enlisted as private in Company B, Six
teenth Indiana Infantry. April 10. 1861. and
was mustered into service May IA. He was
made sergeant-major on the I'D of
the same month and served with the reg
irnent until ii was mustered out in Washing
ton. May IA. 1862
July Is. 1862. he was appointed adjutant of
the sixty-ninth Indiana and his advance
ment was rapid. March Is. 1853, he was
promoted to be lieutenant colonel, and after
brave and distinguished service he was
brevetted colonel March &C. 1865. upon the
recommendation of Gen. C.. c. Andrews.
The reasons given for the advancement of
Colonel Perry by General Andrews are as
follows:
For the resolute and courageous manner
In which he led his battalion in the charge
at Fort Blakely. Alabama, on April 9, dur
ing which he was seriously wounded: for
his zeal as an officer. and for having a
splendid and efficient battalion"
Governor Morton commissioned him
colonel April Is, 1866, but he was not mus
tered on account OF lack of numbers in the
regiment. In the Sixteenth he was with
General Nelson in Kentucky, and with the
Sixty-ninth he was with General Sherman
in the first attempt on Vicksburg in 1862
He was In the Army of the Tennessee in all
the movements resulting in the capture of
Vicksburg in 1863. with the Army of the
Gulf under General Banks, with the Red
river expedition and with Gen. Gordon
Granger in Alabama in 1864. When Candy
operated against Mobile Colonel Perry was
IN the command.
Colonel Perry's record covers the follow
ing battles Of the civil war: Richmond
KY, Chickasaw Bluff, Miss, Arkansas
Post, Port Gibson, Champion Hill, Black
River Bridge, Jackson. Alexandria. La
: Blakely, Ala, and the various assaults or
yicksburg.
Colonel Perry was wounded a number OF
times. At Richmond he was shot in the
leg and taken prisoner. At Port Gibson he
got bullet in the left arm. and he carries
to-day the marks Oh bullet wound in the
head received at Blakely, Ala.
