passed on into the presidents inner

one noticed anything unusual In the
incident until solemn person com

Colonel Ames is a grandson of Gen

General Adelbert Ames, and he thus
unites in his person two families
known in military annals. General
Butler hoped to see the family tradi-
lions as to military achievement sus-
tanned In the career Of his son Ben
Israel, but the death of the latter pre-
vented such hopes from being realized
When his only daughter married Gen
eral Ames and son was born to them
In 1871 the infant was given General
Buffers surname as his Christian
name In the hope that he would adopt
the military profession. The boy was
educated at West Point and entered

In engineering at the Massachusetts
Institute Of Technology. He was for
time an electrical engineer, but at
the outbreak of the Spanish war prof
fered his services and was in the cam

Miles, where he rose to be lieutenant
