The EeSaenden Family.

Memorial Day exercises were held
last month in the Supreme Courtroom
at Portland, Me-, for Gen. Francis Fes-
sender and other members OF the Cum
berland County Bar, and these were
largely attended by the prominent men

ancestor was Gen. Samuel Fessenden,
who was in his day one Of the most dis
tinguished members of the Maine Bar.
His son. William Pitt Fessenden was a
brilliant and eloquent lawyer. and be-
came Senator from Maine and Secre-
tary Of the Treasury. Senator Fessenden
had four sons. William H.. James D..
Francis and Samuel. or these four
three bore an honorable part in the
war. Samuel was Second Lieutenant OF
the I'd Me. Battery, and was MORALLY
wounded while serving as staff officer
at the second battle Of Bull Run. James

ceived commission as Captain in the

A Memorial supper.

Editor National Tribune: Permit me
to suggest that where 10 to 100 veter-
ans can be found they will find ii pleas
ant and profitable to institute what
might be called a Memorial supper
as fitting close for each recurring Me-
mortal Day service. On the goth ult
about 80 members of our Post met at
Post room In the evening. where they
were served with cream and cake. Then
followed appropriate addresses. one OF
them being made by the speaker of the
day. who was held over for the pur-
pose. Then came what we called our
Communion" A canteen used in the
war of 1876, filled with water, was
passed by the Chaplain. each veteran
taking sip from 1t. 1t was done in
silence and proved most impressive. IL
is our purpose next time to have sup

curing year make 1t the concluding

is that when Gen. Fred Steele left Little

to carry a dispatch and mail, with %
men under my command. At Benton

in one day and night and reported to

The Third COrDs.

B. F. Pike. Co. b. 49th N. Y, Moro,
Ore, wishes to take part In the discus
sion as to the number Of divisions Of
the Third Corps. He does not agree
with either Capt. Body nor Comrade
Gragg, but thinks the Third Corps, as
first organized. March, 1862, consisted
of three divisions under Gems. Porter,
Hooker and Hamilton. About the first
Of May the First Division, under Por-
ter. was detached and became part of
the new Fifth Corps, Gen. Porter re-
tanning command. On the detachment
of Porter's Division, Hamilton's Divi-
sion, now commanded by Gen. Phil.
Kearny, became the First Division, and
so continued until the corps was dis
continued by being merged into the
Second. A new Third Division was at
forwards added to the corps. under Gen.
Whipple, which was discontinued at the
Generals death, and the regiments of
the division merged into the First and
Second Divisions. During the Gettys-
burg Campaign another Third Division
was added to the corps, commanded,
first, by Gen. French, and. later, by Gen.
Carr. This was the composition of the
Third Corps from that time until 1t
was discontinued, when the First and
Second Divisions became the Third and
Fourth Divisions Of the Second Corps.
So 1t will be seen that at three different
periods of its two years. existence the
old Third Corps" had three divisions.

New Madrid expedition, and the First
Brigade, First Division, of the Army OF
the Mississippi in February and March,
1862. and was made to consist Of the

sulting In the capture Of Island No. 10
and New Madrid. and then was ordered
to Pittsburg Landing. After the siege
Of Corinth it was at Iuka and Corinth
and took prominent part in the battle
at the latter place Oct. ga. 1862. In
December Of 1862 it defeated Forrest
at Parker's Crossroads, and during the
Vicksburg campaign was employed In
defending Memphis and that part OF
the country. In the Spring Of 1854 the
Ohio Brigade was discontinued and a
new brigade formed with the 9th and
39th Ohio, 64th I'll. and 18th Mo-, con-

SUCCESSFUL. CRUSADE AGAINST
CONSUMPTION

: The Germans report most gratifying
success in their warfare against the
White Plague.
Returns furnished by the National
tuberculosis Congress at Berlin show
that there has been a decrease of 38
per cent in the number of deaths from
tuberculosis since 1875. Sanitaria have
restored to health and work "a per cent
of the patients treated. During 1905,
26,621 persons coming under the Work
mems Insurance act were treated at
sanitaria.
The insurance companies of Germany
from 1901 to 1905 spent $9,500,00O in
fighting tuberculosis. The outlay in
cluded the establishment of 26 sanitaria
with 2,111 beds for women and 10 sani-
taria with SAL beds for children. All
these were due to the suggestion of the
Empress.
The results attained at dispensaries
were also excellent. Thus in 1905

modified so that a person infected with
disease could be isolated completely.
