WAR EDITORS AND PRINTERS.
Proposition for "a Reunion ut Saratesn

Editor National Tribune: AS you arc
doubtless aware. during the civil war
there were number of instances where
printers and others were detailed to
take possession of printing offices in the
Southern States, and publish newspa-
pers for the benefit or amusement OF
officers and soldiers in camp. 1t was
my fortune to have been on such q de-
tail. About March l, 1863, 1 was de-
tailed by Lieut.-Col. Henry b. Banning,
of the 125th Ohio. Gen. Opdycke's regi-
ment, which was in possession OF
Franklin. Tenn, to take possession of
the printing office of the Franklin Re

THREE UNMARKED GRAVES.
Supposed to he of iowa CayaIrymer
Killed In n Fight with GuerriIlas.

Editor National Tribune: What I
deem reliable information has recently
been given me that: there are at least
three Union soldiers sleeping in un-
marked and unkept- graves near White
Bluffs. Tenn, some 80 miles directly
west of Nashville 81
The statement is that late in the war
of the rebellion. as Hoods army was
advancing on Nashville, the line of rail-
road then called the Northwestern. now
the N, c. Il st. L., was watched by GER
tain detachments OF soldiers as now re-
membered by citizens who were then
on the ground. some Michigan infantry,
near Kingston Springs: further west. at
a place now called "Craggie Hope"
some Illinois infantry: following west
ward some colored infantry; still west
of these and about one mile west of the
depot, at White Bluffs, q camp occupied
by some Iowa cavalry.
1t is said that a few. days before the
battle of Nashville one McNarry. some
what noted as an independent, irrespoa-
sible cavalry leader, had gathered a few
hundred followers, and. emboldened by
the march of Hood, attempted to sur
prise this cavalry camp. a brisk en-
gagement followed before ne was driven
off, losing dozen or more of his men;
at the same time three of the supposed
Iowa cavalry were killed and buried on
the ground where they fell. The wound
ed We're taken with the troop. which
soon thereafter, with all other soldiers
on the line. fell back on their base at
Nashville.
The representatives of the Govern
ment after the close of the war gather
ed up all the known buried for reburial
in the National Cemetery. but those
Knowing Of these three graves were not
then sufficiently reconstructed to volun-
tcer to show the resting place of the
men who aided in giving their neighbor
bushwhackers so complete a thrashing:
so it is claimed that they are still there
and at least two can now be located
tho good-sized trees have since over
grown their graves as if to protect their
dust.
l do not know what, if anything, can
now be done for them. or if it be desir-
able to do anything but as one of the
men composing the National army at
the battle of Nashville and now travel

ister, and living 20 miles west of this
battle-ground. am SO far Interested as 10

Rare Civil War Photographs.

Comparatively few veterans of the
civil war realize that actual photographs
were taken on the battlefields 1t is
true, nevertheless. MIR. Edward b.
Eaton, Hartford, Conn. owns 1000
original negatives of scenes covering the
important engagements of the armies
of the East, West and South. The only
other like set in the world is owned by
the United States Government. and
there is standing order in the War
Department at Washington which posi-
lively forbids their being used by any
one for commercial purposes.
Mr. Eaton has selected about ESQ
representative scenes. and has arranged
to present reproductions Of them in
album form They will be chronolog-
ically arranged, and each will have its
authentic history. They will be printed
on fine white enameled paper, and the
pages of the album will be IL inches
wide by Is inches long. The volume
opens from the end, and when extended
measures over 80 inches from left to
right. 1t will be durably bound in heavy
board covers.
The first part wildly depicts the hor-
rors of the war by words and pictures
and ends with Il plea for universal
peace. The album is now on the presses
and will be ready for delivery abou,
Sept. 1. Up to that time Mr.. Eaton Is

THE CANTEEN IN SOLDIERS

| Its Abolition Frsm tie Danville, ILL.,,
Home Hns ResaiteilIaa Great Good.
Editor National Tribune: Nearly
j five months have elapsed since the
closing of the t'canteen" in this
| Branch of the National Soldiers
Home. and many comrades no doubt
will be interested to know, from the
| observation of q private member of
the Home. what ,effect. If any. the
absence of the canteen has had on
the good order and civil conduct of
the members of the Home generally.
The writer has given this matter a
close observation. and feels war
ranted in saying that. so far as good
order. civil conduct and friendship
among the members are concerned,
there has come a great improve
ment. When the canteen was here
| large portion of the men were
constantly under the influence of
| beer to a greater or lesser extent.
and this made them reckless of
| speech. profane and often quarrel
some. Now the same men are more
| quiet, more temperate of speech and
! more considerate of the rights Of
others. Profanity and obscene IAN
guage have decreased at least IS per
| cent. The change in the general
civil conduct of the members is so
great for the better that men re-
| turning from furlough, after years
absence. have declared to the writer
| that they could hardly realize that
they were back among their former
comrades. While It is true that
those who have lost control of their
appetites still go TO outside saloons
and get intoxicated, especially i'm
mediately after receiving their pen-
sion money, yet the general conduct
and behavior of the men have i'm
proved to a remarkable degree. 1t
is a common thing to hear former
patrons of the canteen declare that
they are glad Ii is gone"
The number of arrests of men,
bers of the Home for drunkenness
by the city police of Danville has
also greatly decreased since the clos
ing of the canteen.. so far as the
writer can ascertain from statements
of the police and reports of the daily
press.
The presence of the canteen in the
Soldiers Home was regarded and
claimed by those who patroniZed it
as a stamp of approval, affixed by
the Government, on the habit OF
of drinking Intoxicating liquors, and
many of them claimed that they
should be entitled to special consid-
Grafton for being drinkers and pa
irons of the canteen. The abolition
of the canteen by Congress has
stripped them of this deIusion.
The Soldiers Home should be
what its name implies. a Home, not
an inebriate asylum or a resort for
drunkenness and dissipation. 1t
should be place jiwhere a sober,
moral man can pass his declining
years without humiliation to him
self. The great majority of the sur
yivors of the Union army are not
drunkards or even drinking mem

Widows Pensions.

Mrs. Mary J. Lindsey. Of Lebana,
Mo-, believes that while the McCumber
bill was n step in the right direction it
left much undone in justice to widows.
Her husband served from the beginning
to the end of the war, and he always
did his full duty, he did not call on
Uncle Sam as long as he could live
without it, and not until the act of 1890,
which gave him $12 per month. and
she has to he content with
IS per month. which is too little.

Next Waters LegisIntion.
Some people reason that the Presi-
dent is shaping up his plans for 1egis-
lation by Congress next Winter, and
that the bills he wants introduced and
passed to further protect purchasers of
railroad securities and for other pur-
poses have been drawn in the rough.
The guests he has been inviting to Oys-
ter Bay hardly indicate that he is chief
ly engaged on that work at present, al
tho Secretaries Root and Taft and
Speaker Cannon could well have been
consulted on those matters. They usu-
ally have been consulted when the
President had railroad or corporation
legislation in hand
1t is known that he has talked with
Secretary Taft about the latter's speech
on tariff revision, delivered at Columbus
Monday, Aug. 19, en- route to the Phil
ippines, and about the Secretary's dec
laration with reference to his own atti-
tude on several campaign issues. For
that reason the Secretary's Columbus
speech Will stand as also expressive of
the Presidents attitude. The Repub-
licans who want no agitation about the
tariff for the present disapprove of that.
They do not want the President to fur
thcr disturb business at this time by
getting the business men aroused over
prospective changes in the schedules.
1t may be that Speaker Cannon will
talk soon with the President on that
subject. He has gone to New England
for IL vacation. The two have had some
lively discussions about tariff. The
Speaker is very insistent now, as he has
been all along. that the present or 6Oth
Congress was elected on the issue of
"let we'll enough alone" and that the
Administration ought to leave the tariff
for the next National Convention.
The President has a strong personal
reason for injecting revision into the
current Midsummer politics. Senator
Foraker has been inveighing against the
revisionists in Ohio, and has been MAX
ing quite an impression thereby. Sem
ator Foraker is the object of the Presi-
dents animosity more than any other
man in public life. and when the Sem
ator makes telling point the President
is not likely to rest easy till he finds Il
way to get back at him. OF course.
Senator Foraker has been inveighing
chiefly against Secretary Taft, which
further increases the Presidents re-
sentiment. Secretary Taft's speech was
largely in answer to Senator Foraker,
and for that reason the President want
ed to 'touch up the speech so that it
would reflect his own view The Secre-
tary, of course, spoke as u representa-
tive of the Administration, Us well as in
his personal capacity

FATHER KENT DEAD
Came to St. Mary's Parish With Dominicans

TAUGHT MANY PRIESTS
Master of Novices in Kentucky and Pastor of Several
 Churches.

Rev. John c. Kent, o. P, died at St. Marys rectory, Tuesday afternoon, at 1S0 o'clock, For some weeks he had patiently borne the sufferings which 1t had pleased Providence to send him, with the same spirit that he received the every day trials of fife.
 He was born in England, near Bir- mingham in 1S43 and came to America while yet boy He made his studies in Canada and later joined the Domin- iean Order in which he has held the highest positions of honor and trust, For ten years he was master of novices at the Novitiate in Kentucky and many are the priests living to-day Wao can claim him as their teacher and exem- plar. He was one of the Dominicano who came to New Haven in 1886 at the invitation of the late Bishop McMahon to assume the charge of St. Mary 8 parish. Since that time he has been pastor of churches in Washington, D. C., Zanesville and Somerset Ohio. A few weeks ago he came east to attend the chapter of his order held in Wash ington, D. C., and fell ill
 St. Mary's people have prayerfully hoped for his recovery and now bow submissively to the will of Him whom he served so faithfully. His remains will be brought to the church Wednes- day afternoon at 4 o'clock and at l0:SO o'clock, Thursday morning, a solemn high mass will be sung in the presence of Bishop Tierney for the repose of his soul. May he rest in peace,

TAX RATE NOT FIXED
Finance Board Discusses Levy ing of Fifteen
 Mills.

The finance board will complete its work on the estimated expenses of the city by Friday night and will send It's appropriations into the next meeting of the aldermanic board The finan- ciers last night discussed the levying of 15-mill tax, but no vote was talk en. This will be done Friday night, it is asserted. The aldermen will meet December 2,
 While the finance board has not yet determined upon the exact rate of taxation that will prevail" George w. Lewis, of the board, said, "it is pretty safe to assume that 1t will not go over 15 mills This year it was 19 1-2 mills, and the year before it was IA mills. It would have been 14 mills this year had it not been for the extra $75,000 that was paid into the city from the county >on account of the change in the liquor licenses, they now being paid twice year instead of once a year, as formerly We had already received the $150,00 at the beginning of the year for the licenses for one year, and in addition thereto we received S75,oo0, this being one half of the amount that is to be paid us on this years licenses. Therefore, we were able to get along on a tax rate of 19 1-2 mills this year.
 1 "Why, the raises and so on increase in teachers salaries, and all that, will call for the levying of one mill, any i how"
