W. c. BROWN.
He Has Risen from a Telegraph Appren.

Central railroad, the palladium Of tho
railway world.
AS soon as he had become proficient
at the telegrapher's key Brown was given
a position with the St. Paul road, with
headquarters at a water tank in Wiscon-
SIM, says the Daily News. Next he be-
came assistant train dispatcher. When
his chief was promoted he took his
chiefs old place, and soon he was made
division superintendent. The other
roads wanted him and in 1880 he went
to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad, where he worked SO earnestly
that 16 years later he was chosen gen.
eral manager. He held this position I'M
til 1901, when he was elected vice-pres-
ident and general manager OF the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern.
Mr.. Browns new headquarters were
in Cleveland, but his home was In Chi
cago. Without moving his household
effects to the Ohio city, he went into tho
new field and worked there until he was
made yice-president of the New York
Central, when, still holding his position
with the Lake Shore line, he removed
to New York, where he lived at The
Netherlands hotel, almost within q
stones throw of the great Vanderbilt
mansion. Then he returned to Chicago.

trail and the Lake Shore.
The consolidation Of these two boards
of directors Is looked upon as one Of the
most important steps in railroad circles
in recent years, a. it will bring under
one roof, practically, two immense prop
critics and foreshadows still further ac-

THE CIVIL WAR HEROINE. 4.
Her Memory to Be Perpetuated by ar
Imposing Piece Of statuary at
r. Galesburg, Illinois-Her
War Record,

Boston.-When the grand review of
the victorious armies OF the north took
place In Washington in 1865, there was
one woman In the ranks. on horseback,
who marched with the soldiers from
Illinois. She was one of the most i'm.
presave figures in the most impressive
parade Of soldiers which ever took
place In the United States
The woman was Mrs. Mary A. Bick.
ordyke. better known as Mother Bick-
srdyke," who had endeared herself to
the soldiers as did few other women
during the war, through her self-sacri-
ices and her untiring work az q nurse
on the battlefields and in the hospitals
Of the south.
On that great day in Washington the
tried soldiers of the republic did this
noble woman q signal honor because
they loved her and because they ap-
preciated to the full what she had done.
The soldiers of the south respected
Mother Bickerdyke fully: as much %
those of the north, for she made no
distinctions in her charity and her
philanthropy. And 10 it was that the
woman ON horseback in q plain calico
dress and sunbonnet, was cheered
equally that day with the great gen.
erals, the tattered battlefags and the
long columns. That plain calico dress
and sunbonnet were eagerly purchased
as souvenir the next day for 500.
That gives some idea of what the
soldiers thought of Mother Bickerdyke
in 1865, but she has not been forgotten
by any means. Her "boys" in Illinois
are going to commemorate her services
to the country with fitting monument
TO be erected at Galesburg, and it will
be one Of the choicest memorials in
that state. 1t will be the first public
monument erected in the United States
to a woman for services in behalf Of
her country during the civil war, and
no monument is more richly deserved.
The commission for this monument
has been awarded very appropriately
to one Of the most celebrated women
sculptors in the land-Mrs Theo A.

these he visited Portsmouth, England,
q little before the war. Eighty men
were given leave on Sunday, when
only public houses were open, and not
one single man of them broke leave or
got drunk. Their captain had told them
that "the honor of the Bayan" was In
their keeping, and-that was enough.
But incidents Of this sort did not endear
him to jealous mediocrites.
To the lasting credit Of the Russian
feet it should, however, be stated that
after the early disasters the captains at
Port Arthur themselves proposed that
Robert Wren should be their admiral;
an act Of self-sacriflce that must 60 far
to discount all the tales Of tnefhciency
that we have been told. This sacrifice
Of chances of distinction for the sake
Of sSpromising junior is almost, If not
quite nntdue in the history Of the world.

have in him leader that all trust.
During the war his name has been be-
fore the public continually as captain
Of the cruiser Bayan, the one Russian
ship that has steadily distinguished her
self, the one ship that was ready when
the war came.
Though idolized by his men, Admiral
Wren was by no means popular figure
with his brother officers in the Russian
navy till the war came along. "Mur-
derers preferred" was his nickname in
Russian wardrooms, q title bestowed
upon him because he applied to the adj
miralty for the bad lots of the fleet to be

formed into smart, self-respecting blue
