Anotonia Borgfa was born in Naples and

The chapel of the Naval Academy at An
napolis, where the remains of Paul Jones
VIII be finally deposited in the crypt. will
cost 100000 when completed. Before the
work of construction WAS begun there was
much criticism because Of the fact that
such a great sum was to be spent upon a
mere chapel bu: it was explained that the
structure was to be more than a. cha pei:
In fact. an abbey Of the navy Of the United
States where were to be gathered tablets
and memorial windows, and as many things
OF the kind as would be possible to COM
memorate the splendid events in the
nails of the American navy. 1t was a re-
markable coincidence that shortly after
work of construction Of the chapel had
been begun John Paul Jones' body was
discovered. and the great majority of the
citizens of the country felt that no more
fitting place than the seat of the school
for the training Of American naval officers
could be found for the bones Of the first
admiral of the navy to rest.

YOUNGEST VETERAN DEAD.
Gustav A. Schurmann Was Eleven
Years Old When He Went to War.

Gustav A. Schurmann, who died recently
at his home in New York city. was one OF
the youngest veterans OF the civil war. He
was fifty-five years old, and he and his
friends in his Grand Army post claimed
that he was the youngest veteran. He went
to war when he was eleven years old as a
drummer boy in the 10th New York Volun-
teers, better known the Mozart Regi-
ment, of which the father of Richard Wat
son Glider was chaplain.
At Harrison's Landing the boy was de-
tailed to act as an orderly to Gen. Phil
Kearny. The general gave the youngster
silver bugle and big white horse for a
mount In the course of the days maneu-
vers the staff ga1loped over rough field
broken by an ugly ravine. Gen. Kearny,
superb horseman. took the ravtne with a
mighty bound. and looked around to see IL
his aids following They were not,
except the bugler Gus tugged at the big
white horse. but he might as well have
tried to stop railroad train. 1t jumped
the gully and landed, Schurmann pale and
half-senseless. That jump won the heart
OF the general, and Schurmann was as
signed permanently as his orderly.
In battle he used my back a writing
desk to scratch off dispatches" said Schur-
mann the other day. and he used to curse
me roundy if 1 trembled.''
After Kearny's death at Chantilly, the
boy served as bugler for Gems Birney,
Sickles that he met the Lincolns at Bell
Plains. The President, Mrs. Lincoln and
Tad, then ten years old. came from Wash
ington TO pay the commanding general
visit. Tad and the drummer boy became
chums, and the result of their friendship
was that Schurmann returned to Washing
ton with the Presidents family and lived
at the White House as "Tad's" playmate
until he recalled to act as bugier for
Gen. Sickles. He was with the general
when the latter lost leg at Gettysburg
Schurmann remained at the front until
the close of the war, and then came home
as a veteran, aged fifteen.
