RoosEvELTS ExTRAvAGANcE
And SpectacuIarism Are Hurting Him
In the Eyes of the People.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The same tendency to excess which
President Roosevelt displays In public
matters generally is seen in the manage
ment OF his own affairs The desire to
give brilliant and costly dinners. expen-
sive musicales and other entertainments
in which he plays the part of host, added
to the maintenance of large stable.
fine country house and innumerable ex-
tras necessary to the indulgence
of his tastes, has made serious in
roads on his purse. 1t is true he has a
small private fortune and the income
from his books Is not inconsiderable. but
even then he finds 1t impossible to live
within bounds. and his fondness for lux
ury increases each season.
in certain sense 1t is no ones business
but his own what the President does with
the money at his disposal If he chooses
to use 1t in increasing his popularity by
giving sumptuous entertainments or in
extravagant self-indulgenee. that Is his
own affair. From another point of view
he is responsible to the people for setting
an example that is sane, wholesome and
to be commended. Lavish expenditure in
the White House stimulates wasteful ex-
travaganee In every other quarter. The
pernicious influence is felt more or less
throughout the nation A fondness for
display a desire to appear liberal and
whole-hearted whether one can afford 1t
or not, Is having It's effect upon the peo-
pie as a whole.
This fondness for the spectacular on the
part of the President and his desire to do
something Of a sensational nature has
just shown themselves in the brilliant dis
play of military pomp when he ordered
welcome for Ex-Governor Taft. SO
pleased was the President with the gay
chou IF that MIRA sion II Is said. he will
repeat or increase the magnificent effect
as opportunity offers for honorng special
favorites. President Mckinley, after five
years in the White House, had saved
$4,000 but at the rate President Roose-
welt is now going he is likely to need the
support of his friends in more ways than
one.

Hood cut the holsters from the saddle and
placed them upon his own. Later in the
day he saw General Allen riding the black
stallion, and General Wheeler riding the
celebrated spotted horse
Hood desired to make General Wheeler

He tried to secure scsbbards for his pis-
tolls and his purpose was folled. The hol-
sters were unsuited for Hood, as he had
to dismount so often, or leave his horse
for forage. In the meantime Colonel Ash
by of the Tennessee command sent for
Hood, and an exchange of the holsters
with Colonel Ashby for a belt with scab-
bards was made. In a day or two Hood
saw General Wheeler with the holsters,

MAN WHO CAPTURED GEN
KILPATRICK'S PISTOL


An important incident in the war be-
tween the states has never been published,
and to do justice to the person who cap
tured the holsters and pistols of General
Fitzpatrick, and to alabama as well, this
article is written.
1t is a matter of history that General
Wheeler surprised the camp of General
Fitzpatrick near Fayetteville, N. c., prob
ably in the month of March, 1865. After
the great battles in and around Atlanta
General Hood took up his line Of march
through Alabama and on to Nashville.
General Wheeler had completed his ia
nous raid through Tennessee and on his
return, Sherman having commenced his
line of march through Georgia to Savan-
nah Wheeler was ordered to Georgia to
harass Sherman and keep closed in, his
struggling. prowling soldiers, thereby con-
fining his line of march to as narrow a
scope as possible and saving the homes of
the southern people from the torch and
devastation. This work was well per-
formed by the celebrated cavalry of
General Wheeler on the TANKS Of Sherman
day and night, such was the vigilance and
tact of Wheeler and his men, that Kill
patrick. who was commanding the fed
eral cavalry, hardly dared to get from un-
der cover of Sherman's main army, and
when he did Wheeler pounced upon him
and gave him good thrashing. Such was
the case at Aiken, s. c., and at Fayette-
vile, N. c.. he had ventured out little
way from the main army. but the ever
vlgilant Little Joe" knew OF this move.
When night came on and Fitzpatrick
pitched his camp, surrounded by marshy
area of country, he sent scouts to take
off the pickets, which was successfully
done, and at the break of day the COM
mand was ordered to cross the marsh and
attack Kilpatricks camp. The marsh was
very difficult to cross. A large part of
Aliens division succeeded in crossing, but
many OF the poorer or weaker horses
failed because Of the. condition of the
ground One Of Wheelers divisions failed
to come up in time, but the camp was
taken by Allen, Some artillery was taken
and owing to the inability of the Confed-
crates to remove it. 1t was cut down.
General Fitzpatrick was awakened from
his slumber by the patter of horses feet
and the rattle of guns. and he succeeded
in making his escape on foot.
The subject of this sketch was orderly

At the opening it was evident that both

of either side cared to carry either long
or short contracts over until Tuesday
morning. Therefore at the opening with
an unfavorable set of Liverpool cables,
it was an easy matter for the bears to
hammer prices down until they were a
quarter of a cent lower than yesterdays
close.
Statistics were SO bullish, however, that
leading bulls took on courage and became
aggressive buyers and many conservative
longs followed the lead. This buying soon
absorbed the offerings of shorts and
caused prices to advance until they were
from 80 to 81 points higher than the low

points higher than the close of yester-
day.
From the height of the advance there
was another recession and another re-

against the disturbing rumors from for

the infallibe scalper was In his glory
