native of Alabama, Col. Elliott was
appointed second lieutenant in the
marine corps from New York, October
IL, 1870, and his first duty was per-
formed at the marine barracks in
washington. After service at the ma
rlne barracks, Portsmouth, N. H., and
brooklyn, n. Y, he was in September,
1897, ordered TO the IT, S. S. Frolic and
remained on that vessel about a year,
Wnen he was transferred to the
y 5. 5. Monongahela and was next as
signed to the command of the marine
guard On the U. S. S. Ossipee. He re-
NAMED on that duty for three years and
was then assigned to duty at the marine
barracks, Norfolk. During that assign
ment he served with the army during
the railroad riots, near Baltimore, in
the summer of 1877. In December of

to Make His Voice Heard

Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, of New York
has come to the front again after a con-
siderable retirement from the public
view in strong controversy with the
confederate chieftain, Gen. John Is,
| Gordon, over the battle of Gettysburg,
Both these brave men know a good deal
about Gettysburg, but, unfortunately
and quite naturally. they don't know
the same things.

Courier-Journal, this temperance of
Gen. Sickles in the arena of civil war
| controversy will recall the days when
week without some contribution of the
sort from the doughty soldier was a rar-
ity of rarities.
Sickles has always like to talk almost
as much as he liked to fight in his
fighting days. He was in the battle of
Gettysburg, and bore himself with dis
tinction there. 1t was one of the hard
est-fought battles in the worlds his
tory and it was succeeded by the fierce
wordy war that has followed every
great battle.
Perhaps the bitterest discussions
after Gettysburg were those which had
to do with the relations between the
late Gen. Meade and Gen. Sickles, and
for more than 80 years the latter was
almost constantly replying to criticisms
or attacking some one else who was in
the action. 1t was not until after the
mid nineties that there was any lull in
the controversy worth speaking of, and
the articles published in 1897 and 1898
from the pen of the late Charles A.
Dana. assistant SECRETARY Of war when
the battle was fought. revived all the
old animosity. Again there was q lull

after time. In May, 1898. just afte,
the death Of Gen. Meade, another bis
discussion seemed probable. At the
funeral, however, Gen. Sickles himself
went long way toward putting q quie-
tus upon any further acrimonious
talk.
Bending reverently over the open
grave Of the departed general. he de-
clared that as "a brigade, q division, q
corps and an army commander" Gen.
Meade won and deserved the admira-
ton Of all as great general and also
q great man. 1t is a privilege to me,
here in the presence Of his fellow citi-
zens," Gen. Sickles continued, ito place
upon the grave Of my commander this
hower."
Men who were present at this re-
markable understandable in view of
the fact that Sickles, of all men, might
have been expected to nurse enmity
toward Meade-have since declared
that the words then uttered by Sickles
had "given the death blow to detrac-
ton" of many q civil war comman-
der.
Gen. Sickles Is now eight years more
than the Biblical three score and ten,
his birth having been in 1925, and his
vigor has decreased Noteworthy in the
last few years.
Eleven years ago he was a candidate
for congress, and there was some hope
among the republicans that he might
be induced to run on their side. They
based this hope on the circumstance
that he was much dissatisfied with
Grover Cleveland. then presidential
nominee for the third time He had
displeased Sickles by his attitude to-
ward civil war veterans who were
seeking pensions, and it Is within the
knowledge Of the present writer that
he pondered long on the advisability
Of making change In his political
allegiance, and determined to stick to
the democratic side of the fence only
after a strong protest from David B.
Hill. 1t has always been contended by
Sickles that Hill Is as favorable to
the claims of civil war veterans as any
republican ever was.

Asked if meat is unhealthy in hot
weather, he said: Meat is much more
| easily digested than starchy vegeta-
bles, and is both nutritious and condi-
mental. Vegetables are watery and
furnish little nutriment, their qualities
being continental and mechanical.
Meat. good bread, potatoes, and milk
free from germs is the diet to be relied
upon at all times for good health.
Good bread should be the foundation of
every meal, and too much care cannot
be given to its preparation. Bread
should be at least day old before it is
eaten, if not older.
If poor persons, especially the very
poor, would take more cereal food and
less meat they would be better off ply
sically and financially: For instance,
wheat costs three cents pound. as
against Is cents for beef. The pound Of
wheat contains only 10 per cent. mois-
ture, while the pound of beef is more
than half moisture You get more than
twice the nourishment from three cents
worth of wheat than you do from the
pound Of beef. Eat more bread and
wheat and less meat is a good rule for
hot weather. Man can live by bread
alone. while upon meat alone he would
soon die.
How about summer drinks?" said
DR.. Wiley, disdainfully. They are
snares Of the devil. The custom Of con-
stantly dosing the stomach with ice
cold drinks in summer is simply sui
cidal. The extreme cold contracts the
pores through which the pepsin is Sc
creted and tends to congest the cords
OF the stomach. When thirsty in hot
weather one should drink water at from
SO to IS degrees. Drink slowly and all
you want. and you will find that water
at this temperature Quenches the thirst
much better than iced water"

added to their laurels by service abroad.
The Oldest in point of service is Senior

dentials were presented a decade ago,
and who has served here continuously
since. He represents Guatemala, and
since there are few diplomatic questions
Of importance between the little repub-
lie and her greater neighbor, his duties
are not onerous.
The most important among the en-
voys from this hemisphere, says the

who worked with tireless zeal for tho
liberation Of his country, and who for
many years before her Independence
was acknowledged acted as her agent
at this capital. and was instrumental in
raising funds to carry on the rebellion
and inspiring sympathy with her cause.
When he represented the Cuban junta
here he was not officially recognized by
this government and was frequently
subjected to unpleasant experiences.
The social war he inspired is still re-
membered with some amusement by
the lockers on.
Society at that time was divided into
two factions, the friends of Spain and
those who espoused the cause of Cuba
libre. The latter, among whom were
Mrs. Don Cameron, wife Of the former
senator from Pennsylvania, and Mrs.
Henry Cabot Lodge. persisted In invit-
ing the envoy of the junta to their
homes. and never missed an opportuni-
ty of showing their interest in the cause
he represented.
The former faction. which included
the wife Of the Spanish minister, Sc
nora Dupuy de LONE, Senator Hale and
number Of the members Of the diplo-
matte corps, maintained that the young
diplomat had no oficial position and
consequently should not be invited to
affairs which, though social, had ON
cial significance. The conflict waged
violently for time, but Senior Quesada
finally established peace by absenting
himself from all functions where his
presence might create comment
