When Gen. John NJ. Wilson, 4. S. A, re-
tired. was superintendent Of public build
ings and grounds in Washington. under
Cleveland, he was invited one afternoon
by Gen "PhiT' Sheridan 20 accompany
him on carriage drive about the city.
The hero of Winchester was in fine spirits

center of which loomed the equestrian
statue OF Gen. Winfield Scott. Then Lit

because Of the injunction of Gen. SbeTi-
dan that his bronze likeness be not
placed upon any but a real war horse.
Mr.. Ward if is stated, has made numer-
Gus models of horses, none of which
pleased him, and he destroyed them In
turn. Presumably. when the statue is
made 1t will be placed in Sheridan Circle,

The refusal Of the Navy Department to
permit the new battle ship Kansas TO go
TO Galveston for the purpose Of receiving
the $500 silver service presented by

call this really wonderful creation OF
the silversmith's art" that they are de
termined to exhibit IL an over their State

In rapture. To this end arrangements
are being proposed to send the silver
