filled by a competent and edu-
Gated person, we believe that Mr..
Fuller would make a most COM
petent man to fill that important
office.

Three Generals Of the Same Mind.

1t has long been an axiom that two gem
erals cannot be of the same mind. But here
is story to disprove 1t, story told for
the first time last Memorial day by the
aid upon whose ears the coincdental words
of three generals fell.
The battle of South Mountain was raging
Gen. o. B. Wilcox was with his brigade
on the firing line opposite a battery on a
knoll which was bothering the Uuion forces
a great deal Wilcox made UP his mind to
flank the battery, despite the fact that the
thanking force would have tough time of
it, since the ground over which it would
have to march went down, then turned and
inclined up toward the battery. McClellan's
headquarters were on plateau some dis
lance below the brigade. Wishing to in
form the commander of the impending
move. wilcox dispatched one of the aids to
headquarters
Good" exclaimed Mcclellan. when the
aid had presented him with WilcoX's com
pliments and message But tell him to
send in one of those western regiments.
Theyr re raw men and won't know the dan
ger"
On the way back to the firing line the
aid fell in with Gen. Burnside, the corps
commander He was made acquainted with
the purpose of Gen. Wilcox.
Very good" said Burnside, but tell
Wilcox to send in one of those new regi-
ments just from the west. They can shoot
like fury"
Possibly ten minutes later the aid was
the point of delivering his message to Gen.
Wilcox. when he beheld a raw regiment
from Michigan starting out on the thanking
movement.
Thus not two, but three, generals proved
to be of the same mind And 1t is fair to
add that the raw fighters partly because
they knew not the danger, partly because
they were lon-hearted, and partly because
they were dead shots, executed the move
ment successfully, and the position was
taken after the confederates had been
moved down almost to q man.
Gen. Wilcox, who lives in Washington,
was the man who broke up the Knights
of the Golden Circle. He was wounded and
captured al the first Bull Run. where he
commanded a brigade; was drafted as one
of the hostages for privateersmen. and was
the first president OF the Libby Prison AS
s2ciation. where he was held for eleven
months.
Memorial day-what a host of thoughts
It calls to mind. And chief among them
should be the one that the nation really
owes the day it spends in decorating the
graves of its heroes, known and unknown,
leader and led, to the tender-hearted wo-
men of the south of the days Immediately
following the close of the bitter struggle.

FEEDING THE SNAPPERS.
A Sight That Always Attracts Specta-
tors at New York Aquarium.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The feeding of the swapping turtles at the
aquarium is a sight that interests the Wis
itors there. and at feeding time the snap
pers' pool is always surrounded by a close
ring of spectators.
The snappers don't require much food in
winter. One or two feelings a month suf-
fees for them then, but with the spring
their appetite returns, and then they are
fed twice a week. and three times a week
in summer.
Raw beef cut up into little chunks con-
venient for them is what the swapping tur-
ties are fed on here, and commonly when
the attendant who feeds them steps down
the slope leading from the platform to the
surface of the water, with a supply OF this
food, all the SnapperS assemble at his rect
to meet him. One two may stay away
off in the pool and to them chunks of the
meat are thrown, but usually they all come
up in bunch, eager for the food
The swapping turtle is not among the cap
tive creatures that are fed by hand, for IL
has a sharp beak and strong jaws, which
could easily crush or bite off finger, and
so the food given to the assembled turtles
is handed down to them in each case on
the end of a pointed stick. The attendant
spears out of his collection on the end OF
this stick little chunk of meat which he
thus hands down to a turtle. and as 1t is
held nearer out darts the turtles head with
lightninglike suddenness and to a distance
likely to be surprising to many. to seize 1t,
giving a graphic illustration of how this
variety of turtle came by its name of snap
ping turtle; it snaps its food.
Big swapping turtles lying in wait on the
land have captured and carried off
chickens. and the fish swimming uncon-
swapping turtle lying, all but its head.
buried in the mud, never gets past.
The feeding of the swapping turtles al
ways interests the visitor

A typical Memorial Day Story.

Each recurring Memorial day brings to
the fore it's own story. or stories, OF the
war. Some are pathetic, some amusing
all throw interesting sidelights on the
period.
When Major Eugene Gordon. the broth
er of Gen John r. Gordon, was in WASH
ington on Memorial day, 1898, he accom-
panied the members of the local Confed-
crate Veterans Association to cemetery
in the suburb of Woodside. six miles out,
where were the graves of seventeen I'M
known confederate dead who fell in Ear
ly's raid on Washington in 1864. Much to
their delight they found that Union SOL
diers had already decorated the graves.
After the services an old friend invited
the major to the home of Mrs. Laura
Wilson. He was gracionsly received; the
talk. of course. was largely about the
war when Mrs. Wilson, suddenly turn
ing to the major, asked:
Were you not wounded near this place
during the war;"
Yes madame" was the reply, land 1
would give anything in the world to find
the house to which l was taken. l came
out to Woodside this afternoon with the
faint hope that l might get some trace
of the house, but / have not been sue
cessful"
You have been successful without know
ing it," replied Mrs. Wilson, Tor you are
in that house now. Come into the dining
room and l will show you where you lay.
And I have the vest you left here at that
time" she added. II have long wished that
the soldier who wore it would come again
and get 1t. l about to send II as
relic to the Confederate Abbey in Rich
mond'' 49,
Then the story came out. While still a
lieutenant Mrs. Wilson's guest had been
wounded in the battle of Monocacy, July .,
1864, when the confederate forces under
Cen. C. A. Evans drove back the Unionists
under Gen Wallace Carrying their wound
ed with them, the confederates pursued the
enemy to Woodside, where the guns of the
Union defenses of Washington halted them.
Here Lieut.. Gordon was taken in by some
kind hearted women and sheltered until he
was able to join his command. Before the
confederates fell back their commander and
several other officers called at the house to
see the wounded man and to thank his
nurses for their hospitality. At this time
Gen. Evans informed the family that the
soldier in their charge was the brother of
Gen. John B. Gordon. When Mrs Wilson
found herself entertaining a southerner of
the name of Gordon who had fought in the
war, all the circumstances surrounding the
care of the wounded lieutenant came to
mind and she preached her question, with
surprising results.

he covered the confederate retreat As
leader of the cavalry at ChickamauSa he
made things pretty lively for his opponents,
and after the battle intrepidly crossed the
Tennessee, fell Rosecrans line of COM
munica tons and reduced twelve hundred
wagons and their stores to ashes. And all
the time that Sherman was wagicg his At
lanta campaign Wheeler was annoying him
greatly and fighting him daily Judging
solely from mis- activities, Wheeler is per-
hapS the most distinguished surviving
leader on either side; although doubtless,
there are those who would claim this DIS
tinction for Howard, who certainly led a
strenuous fighting life from the outbreak
to the end of the war, as we'll as subse-
quently, in the regular service.
Gen. Merritt is the last survivor Of that
quartet of Union generals known as the
hoy brigaders," the other three being Gus
ter, Mckenzie and Upton. Merritt became
a brigadier general of volunteers, COM
manding cavalry, on the day that the ar
mics were getting in touch for the battle
Of Gettysburg, and all through that trying
time he commanded the reserve cavalry,
doing it SO well that he was praised on All
sides. He won his brevet of major genera
at Winchester where his style of handling
a division so pleased Phil Sheridan that he
lost no time after the battle in recommend
ing the brevet for his youthful, though aple'
lieutenant.

Surviving Fighting Chaplains.

Here and there among the preachers VINO
will take part in Memorial day services on
Tuesday will stand a gray-halred man Vi
the cloth who in the COS was universally
referred to as fighting chaplain So-and-so.
Such a one is Archbishop Ireland or 81.
Paul.
AS Father John ireland he was chaplain
of the 9Th Minnesota for three years seeing
service with the regiment at Corinth, Flcks-
bure. Red River, Nashville and elsewhere
where the fighting was severest. 1t was al
Corinth that he particularly distinguished
and endeared himself to the men or the
regiment.
At the critical stage of the battle the
enemy preached the Union line, captured
several batteries and gained the streets
of the town. 1t fell to the lot of the 9TH
Minnesota to drive the confederates back.
which they did by falling on the right
flank of the penetrating column and sub
jecting 1T to a pitiless fire. The batteries
were retaken. the line re-established, put
the confederates were stu nun OF hght,
and could be seen forming for another
attack.
At this juncture the Minnesota boys
cartridges remained in their boxes. The
situation was Observation-Disclosures the
enemy was charging toward the blue line;
Hastily the boxes OF the dead We're rified
of the few cartridges remaining in them,
the firing began, closer swept the enemy,
when suddenly, above the din of battle,
r ridees nc for you, boys and the next mo-
ment Chaplain Ireland began distributing
handfuls of bullets from the heavy am
munition case which he had secured and
carried to the firing line, to the salvation
undoubtedly of the regiment All through
the battle he stuck on the firing line
feeding out ammunition, and when the
smoke of the guns had cleared away he
had the satisfaction of knowing that the
enemy had been repulsed and the 9th
Minnesota held, undisputed, the line ana
the batteries.

LIVING COMES HIGH.
Nothing Really Cheeo in This Mining
Camp.

.Jf they had only been in the bootbiack
business they would have had money III
their vaults" was the comment or locai
business man when he read of the failure
of the Goldfeld Bank and Trust Company
at Goidfeld, New. one day this week.
"News dispatches indicate that the COM
pany's assets amounted to S2l' ne aoueu'
land of this amount there was - golo
piece found under the counter A shoe
shine in Goldfield costs % cents, ana
man doing any amount of business could
soon accumulate as much money as there
was found in the bank after it's doors mad
been closed"
The merchant told of having received
PROSPECTUS from the town some mohths
ago, in which great inducements were Or
fered The prices of commodities seemed
unusually high, but to offset TINS II was
stated that labor was also high In order
to reach Goldfield it is necessary to traVei
twenty-five miles over the desert, and the
charge for this trip is from 81 TO 80
Freight is hauled this distance at the rate
of $50 a ton. In the prospectus received
by the local business man it is stated that
coal is used only in the blacksmiths' forges
Gasoline and kerosene are sold at 90 cents
n gallon. a furnished room in an ADOBE
house NAV be rented for 81. 90 day, or
for 81 day if two persons occupy one
bed.
'Cigars and whisky at city prices is
the only thing contained in the prospectus
which indicates that there is a single arl-
Gle to be had in Goldfeld at anything
within reason. Milk Is sold at % cents a
quart, bread three loaves for quarter,
and sugar 10 cents q pound. Wages PAID
workmen are given in the prospectus as
follows: Miners, 81 to $50 per day; labor
ers 81 per day; walters, S4 per day and
board; porters. 81 per day. restaurant
cooks ST per day and board; bartenders.

and 81 per day; stenographers and typlsts,
500 "a S125 per month; painters, 50 per day
curreuters, So per day; chuffeurs, 81 per
day.
People who have any idea of going to
Goldtield are told by a note to the pros
pectus. while the above scale seems high
il must be borne In mind that rent ana
other living expenses are just as hiSh
relatively Added to this is the fact that
workineu usually flock to a booming camp
in greater numbers than the development
warrants None should come to Goldileld
without having position or money.
Certainly" said the merchant II man
has any idea OF dealing with some of the
banking institutions he should not go TO
G0lddeId without a good supply of cash.
The advice that none should come 10
Goldfeld without position or money Is
surely good advice"
