War, is interesting, Baldwin before the war was
engaged in journalism in Newark New Jersey. where
he wrote under the pen names of Ned Carroll and
Frank Greenwood These two mythical personal
tiles soon became we'll known the readers of the
papers, and one ever dreamed that they were
merely the pen names OF Young Baldwin At the
outbreak of the war Baldwin enlisted and soon
after he reached the front wrote several letters To
a Newark paper, among which was a curious
one recountlng the death of the mythical Greenwood
1t read:
Mr. EDITOR: l only fulfil the diving request of

Two months ago a Frank Greenwood joined our
company and soon became favorite for his courage
and good comradcship. Last week he received his

Foretold His Doom

q STRANGE case of the fulfment of a PRESENT.
ment of impending disaster was that of Lieu
tenant SPading, in August 1881 When Admiral
Porter visited the American torpedo station at New
port in that year, torpedo practice was to be held
and Leutenants Spalding and Edes were to give
the practice exhibition
The morning of the event Spading awoke with
sense of impending doom. In vain he tried to shake
of the feeling, but as the time for the exhibition
approached the vague sense that something disas-
trous was about to happen grew almost to a surety,
ana, always a courageous young man, he found him
self coWed for the first time in his life by nothing
more tangible than what he termed at the time a
superStitous fancy.
The two officers left their quarters for the torpedo
station, and had proceeded about half way when
suddenly Spaldng stopped. Il wish this thing
wasn't coming off to-day he said, I've had the
Creeps all the morning"
Then he hurried back to his lodging house and
hunting up the landlady, handed her a card saving

Then he went to the torpedo station, and
the two officers took their places in a small boat
Spaldlng at the oars and Edes in charge of the
torpedo in the bow. Everything went we'll until
