WINE WORTH 5000 A cAsK.
Costly Liquor That Is Owned by New
York Merchant.


Tho wine trade has recently been
agiiatcd by the rumor that a New
York wine merchant has paid s. 600
for single cask Of wine. II is called
"Napoleonic wine" because It was pre-.
served specially for Napoleon ]. II Is
OF the 1861 vintage. and none has been
sold before. except a small quantity
to the king Of Spain. Napoleon was so
busy making war that he had little
leisure to drink wine. and thus II has
remained To become tho oldest sherry
In the world. This sale has drawn at
tcntiOn to other old wines and their
present market value.
The same merchant owns some wine
which once belonged TO Admiral Mel.
son. II IL worth $4,000 a cask. and was
yintaged by n man named DE Castro
dc Palermo of Herax. He has also
another wine In his collection which
belonged to the duke Of Wellington
and IL now worth $4,000 a cask. He
considers speculations In such liquid
curios as highly profitable. because, II
properly preserved. they Increase In
value yearly.

The Next Encampmen nj.

BOstOn I'm 1904.
This was the unanimous vote OF tho
national encampment of the Grand
Army OF the Republic at San Francis
co, and goes to show that the old vet.
erans who fought in the civil war for
united nation know good thing
when they see 1t. II also shows that
although the comrades are growing
old and feeble, their minds are st!ll
clear, and they have not forgotten the
royal good time they had In the Hub
thirteen years ago and the cordial
welcome and lavish hospitality re.
celved on that occasion.
Everyone then threw open their
houses To the honored veterans who
fought from 'Gt to '65. and the same
hospitality will he shown next year.
Bostonians also went deep Into their
pockets to defray the expenses of that
encampmcnt. and so large fund was
raised that 20 per cent OF the amount
subscribed was returned to the donors
after the encampment-something un-
precedented in the history OF the or
der.--Boston Herald.

Recalls Naval Victory.

The recent naval maneuvers on the
coast OF New England recalls the fact
that the state of Maine fought tho
first naval battle of the Revolution
and won the first victory on the water.
Soon after the battle of Lexington the
inhabitants of Machias. Me-. erected
a liberty pole on the village green.
When lchabod Jones, the leading trad
er OF the town, came back from his
regular trip to Boston. he was con-
voyed by the little British schooner,
the Margaretta. under command of
MidshIpman Moore. Moore ordered
the pole to be cut down. The Machias
men seized Jones own schooner, the
Unity, under Captain jeremiah
O'Brien. and went out to do battle
with Moore. Armed with pitchforks
the Maine men boarded the Margaretta
and captured her. She was renamed
the Liberty. and did good service for
the patriot cause against England for
many months. The warship Machias
in the present navy commemorative
that exploit.

Gen. Kearney's Harsh Words.

Il made n pretty fair jump once
said Comradc Murray. That was at
the second battle Of Bull Run, and
was then In the Third Michigan. At
first we were held In reserve. but
later were In the very thickest OF the
fight and under the heaviest fire
ever experienced In the army. We
stood IL for q time and then the regi.
mcnt melted away and ] cut away on
my own hook. Near us was the EN-.
bankment of n railway from which the
rails had been taken. and ] made a
dash for that In the belief that IL ]
could get over ! would find shelter
from the murderous fire still raking
the field. AS came to the cmbank-
mont tho problem of how to get over
bcset me. but just then shell burst
right behind me and propelled by the
resulting commotion In the air ] went
over that enbankment like n bird.
But there was no depression on
the other side. and I was as mucn ex-
posed as ever. Then ] made my way
to the woods near. and there ! found
| Captain Walters of our regiment. q
man named Fish, and several others,
and we put up a very good sort Of a
| fight. Pretty soon Gen. Phil Kearney
came riding down to that neck Of the
woods to see what was the matter
with his line. He rode right into our
squad. and. refining back his horse
asked to what regiment we belonged
Walters told him and explained how
we got there. and said he didn't know
whether any others Of the regimen,
| got away or not. Kearney burst out
with: YOU co ynrdly sons Of guns
I never saw Michigan man run be
FORE and rode away.
"As he left us. Indignant over his
rough speech, shell struck Fish and
he went down, terribly manglcd. Wal

lance and was detailed to 70 with

Bliss. who aftcrward became famous

Orialn Of the @. A. &.

Comrade T. II. Hagerty OF st. I ouis.
Mo, past chaplain.in.c chief Of the q. A.
h., In a recent communication says.
As there has been considerable discus.
sion as to the origin Of the idea of
the q. A. X. organization. will you
allow fne to tell you what know
about Il? I was personally acquainted
with the Rev. william J. Rutledge Of
Illinois. both before and after the war
Of the rebellion. In talking with him
only n few years before his death he
told me these facts, as nearly as ] can
recall them. asked him to write
thom down. which he promised to do,
but. like some other modest men,
suppose he deferred until too late. His
statement was rs follows:
"As the army was on one Of its
marches In the South near the close
Of the war DR.. Stephenson and were
riding along conversing about vari-
ous things when this thought came
into my mind and said Doctor. when
this war is over there should he some

and campaigns
That IL a fact. Chaplain said Dr.
Stephenson. let us mind II when we
get home"
Tho war closed. and by good
providence both Of these men returned
hcmc, Mr.. Rutledge to his busy itin,
Grant life and the Methodist ministry
and DR.. Stephenson to his practice OF
medicine In his native town. DR.. Ste
phenson. being active and more nc
customed to such organizations. NOV

tion. This Is. as think. the truI
history OF the origin. II the Rev. DR.
Rutledge were living to-day, or DR.
Stephenson, either. think the matter
would be settled by those comrades
They builded wiser than they knew,
when they laid the foundations Of the
Grand Army OF the Republic. Let us
their comrades. keep In perfect repail
the structure they so fortunately ant
patriotically built.

Civil War Soldiers stII,.

York. Pa, is probably the only city
In the United States that can boast OF
having soldiers OF the civil war still
In service.
In 1862 seven companies were
formed there. mustered into tho serv.
Ice Of the state and assigned TO the
onty Of guarding railway property in
York county. They were stationed
slopg the Northern Central railway
between the village OF Seven Valley
and the Maryland line.
when rumors Of Confederate inya.
sion would reach the border coun.
ties, the young guards would be or.
dered out TO protect the railway prop.
erty. when the rumors died out tney
would be permitted to return TO their
homes.
The companies were not designated
by letters or titles and were not at.
tached to any regiment. Because Of
this. or perhaps because of the neg.
lect of the military authorities, the
companies were never mustered out
Of service and discharges were not Is
sued to the men, so that legally the
seventy-Ave survivors, most Of whom
still live. are .still In the service OF the
state.
william Wanner. a member of one
Of the companies. thinks that the sur.
vivors ought to have honorable dis
charges from the state. and. through
State Senator ". X. McConkey, he win
petition the legislature In behalf OF
his surviving comrades. Previous at.
temYts have been made by members
Of these companies to gain honorable
discharges, but no legislative action
has ever been taken on the matter.
To expejiate action upon their pc
| tition, Mr.. wanner has suggested that
the seventy-Ave survivors. when they
apply for discharges. also put In
