Rumor Says General James
McLeer of New York Will
be Put Forward As a
Candidate
HIS LONG RECORD OF SERVICE
FOR ALMOST HALF A CENTURY
THE GENERAL HAS BEEN
PROMINENT IN MILITARY
CIRCLES.

That Brigadier General James Nc
Leer. commanding the Second Brigade,
National Guard of New York, will be
put forward by his friends next year for
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, was a report current
in military circles yesterday. The pres
ent eommander-in-chief of the c. A. r.,
Corporal james Tanner, has long been
friend of General AIcLeer. and at the
coming reception to him by U. S. Grant
Post, it is expected that Corporal Tan
ner will express himself in favor of the
widely liked and efficient head of the
National Guard of Brooklyn.
General McLeer would not discuss the
matter himself, saying merely that he
never declined thing till it was offered
him, and that to do so would make it
appear he was looking for it. The next
years election was long way ahead.

man like him to attempt toesorecast it.
For almost half century General Nc
Leer has been identified with the mill

a youth he went to the front as a private
in Company G of the Fourteenth New
York State militia (Eighty-fourth New
York Yolunteers), in April IS, 1861 At

shattered and his left leg riddled.
Taken to Mount Pleasant Hospital.
Washington, he was given as hope

however that he would not die and even
declared they should not take off his leg.
He consented to the loss of his arm and,
though taking desperate chances with his
leg, and incurring great risk from the
non-remoyal of it. his grit triumphed and
he pulled through to the wonder of his
surgical attendants.
The wounded slider was discharged
from the service with the rank of SER
geant, July %, 1868, and was brevetted
captain of volunteers. Those officers
who saw young McLeer, in action say
he displayed high order of military ae-

so early in the war he would have won

Service Corporation. nor have ever been
carried on its payroll says the Colonel.
This shows that the charge was malic-

Other charges made by the Mayor are
as effectively disproxed, particularly the
one that the Colonel is a corporation.
man and therefore an enemy Of the peo-
pie. If this was the case it is quite
natural that the Colonel, as he says,
would not have aided the Mayor in his
last two elections. The anti-corporation
cry does not appeal to the Colonel. He
regards it with suspicion and concludes
that it is used by designing politicians
to hoodwink the people.

DON'T LOOK BACK.

In climbing up the trail OF life, though
troubles may cmbarrass you,
Though clouds of disappointment may
obscure your mortal skies,
Enough thorns lie hidden in the path to
wound your feet and harass you.
And hostile winds may blow retarding
dust into your eyes,
Keep plodding on with steady nerve; If you
should fall, just rise again,
II you should for a moment stray, get
back onto the track;
Keep praying that the coming day may
bring you sunny skies again,
-FOUR eyes fix on the beacon light and don't
look back
The beacon way up yonder CLEANS, though
clouds at times may curtain it,
The light of hope is shining on the sum-
nit of success
Though it may sometimes vanish from your
sight you may be certain it
Again will flash its CHEEKY rays to Danish
your distress
The gaunt wolves Of adversely from gloomy
lairs may growl at you
And clinging fears your bosom may most
mercilessly rack,
The grim tiends of Encouragement from
darkened hooks may scowl at you.
But hold grip upon your nerve and
don't look back.
When rest the darkest clouds of life the
CHEEKY sun will shine again,
The fercest storm will spend it's force and
leave smiling sky;
Around the winter-fettered oak the flower
ing vines will Irvine again,
The longest lane of woe will have turn
Ing by and by.
II you should Sip and lose some ground,
strive hard to gain your place again.
as Be not appalled, VIXEN obstacles confront
you on the track;
B II wearied, stop ard blow bit, then strike
the same 90 pace again,
And set your teeth and bulge ahead and
don't look back.

Sickness and the likelihood of death
resulting therefrom are the two condi-
lions which must exist to enttle one
to the sacrament of Extreme Unction.
Some, however, not sufficiently i'll
formed may imagine the above detini-
ton at variance with the practice
prevailig in the Church. They observe
the sacrament being administered to
Which is pronounced fatal. There has
hceen no previous sickness, hence the
absence of one of the necessary condi-
lions. But they should remember that
the accident itself, not producing in
slant death, results in Il sickness which
may terminate with death. Both con-
ditions are, therefore, present, and the
injured person is consequently entitled
to the sacrament.
While we believe that almost all
Catholics have proper knowledge Of
the occasions on which the sacrament
may be administered, yet there can be
no mistake that some are seriously at
fault for touching it's benefits. Their
conduct would indicate that they be-
lieve the administering Of the sacra-
ment means certain death. Hence they
defer sending for the priest until the
very last moment, risking the death Of
the sick person before the priests ar
rival.
There are no grounds for such con-
illusions, neither is there justification
for such action. On the contrary,
there should be great anxiety to have
the sacrament administered as early
as possible. We have it Oh the author
ity of st. James ''that prayer Of faith
shall save the sick man." We have it
on the authority Of the Council of
Trent that health is also restored to
the body when that is expedient for
the salvation of the soul. We have
it also on the authority of the priest,
confirmed by the observation Of even
nom Catholic physicians, that i'm
mediate change for the better in the
condition of the sick frequently fol-
lows the reception Of the sacrament.
Many of us also have been convinced
of the same fact from personal knowl-
edge.

F. | GNS ROW OVER
 R VALUABLE MINE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

IT Af-t+ uts-A'stf +FffAif"J
 The southern Arizona towns are very much exercised over a fight be- tween American capitalists for the possession of a valuable mining pro perty in Mexico known as Fl Tigre. This is one of the mines that have been prominently exploited within the last two or three years and one that seemed in q way to become big pro dueing property until the present trouble occurred.
 Just what the points of difference are does not seem to be clearly known at this distance. and so much has been printed about it by the Bisbee and Dou- glas papers that the general reader is lost in the many statements of facts. The mine it seems was originally ex- plotted by B. F. Graham and associ- ates of Bisbee, and sold by some form, of contract or bond to a group of Kan sas City capitalists who formed a company, at the head of which was President Sooy.
 The sensational features began a few days ago, when, according to the papers, the Kansas City men were to make a payment in Bisbee of $4s,000. The local representative of the Kansas City people claims the money was in the bank subject to the order of the Graham faction, and that they had been informed of it, but refused to go and
