its position-on the descending crest
of the end of Kenesaw-where it was
exposed to the fire of about SO guns,
and by the turning of his line OF skir-
mishers That of Cheathams was
principally in the reserve, which fought
in open ground, unprotected by in
trenchments
From the number Of dead O,0OOD
counted from his breastworks Lieut.
Gen. Hardee estimated the loss of the
troops engaged with his corps at 5000,
and in his official report, dated July 80,
Maj.-Gen. Loring estimated that OF the
Army of inc Tennessee, which aSsailed
his corps, at $500.
II think that the estimate of North
ern officers of their killed and wounded
on that occasion, near 5000, does
great injustice to the character Of Gen
Sherman's army. Such loss, in the
large force that must have been fur
nished for decisive and general attack
by an army of almost 100000 men,
would have been utterly insignificant

A COmrade Who Has the True 'sWan-

(To be cohtinued.)

William Newton, 18th Ind, LIE Roy,
various wanderings up and down the
face of the earth. He was born in New
York, and went West with his uncle in
1855. His first object of interest was
the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge,
then the greatest bridge in the world
and one of its wonders. He remembers
that they were selling whisky for three
cents a glass on the Canadian side.
When he got to Chicago he found it
nothing but a mud hole, but they were
raising the buildings with screw jacks
from nine to 10 feet above the quag-
mire. He worked at Princeville, Ill,
for n year, and then went to Springfield,
III. When he got off the train he saw
q. tall man walking in his direction, and
asked him if he knew a farmer that
wanted a man to work. He said that
ne did, but that 1t was quite a good
way in the country. II was then noon,
and the tall man asked him to come
home and have dinner with him. which
Comrade Newton did. The man gave
him a letter of introduction to the
farmer, and signed it Abraham Lincoln.
He remembers that Lincoln asked a
blessing before dinner. After Comrade
Newton was discharged from the army
he went to England and Ireland, and
from there to BuenoS Ayres, also to
Montevideo, where he remained from
1865 to October, 1873. He got mixed
up in the war with Paraguay, but they
could not make him a soldier, since ne
was a cripple. They forced him 10
cook for six months at Asuncion. when
he got away and went to Montevideo,
where he found the Ticonderoga, an
American man-of-war. He tried to en-
list on her, but the Surgeon would not
pass him. He then called for Capt
Badger, and showed him his discharge.
and said that he was an American citi.
zen and would have to be taken home.
They shipped him as life boy, ard the
Captain was glad to get him, as he
spoke Spanish. He finally succeeded in
getting home after long voyage, dur
ing which they stopped at Rio de Jan
eiro and the West India Islands He
believes that Abraham Lincoln was the
kindest-hearted man that ever lived.
and he is very proud of his country.

where published? When was in WASH
ington there was pointed out to me a
building said to be occupied by South
ern ladies who had lost their all during
the war. If this is true, the building
has history of which / woud like to
know something. Did any troops of

Mr.. Corcoran, the banker, of Wash

wealth out of the transactions attend
ing the admission of Texas as a State,
was strongly secession in his sympa-
thies, as was to be expected, and during
his life he established a fine home for
Impoverished Southern ladies'" There
is a fine building occupying very val
liable ground at the corner of 18th

named the Louise Home, after Mr.. Cor.

ANSWERS TO .. nj
CORRESPONDENTS.

NJ. E. c., Willimantic, nGonn.: The
widow of soldier who married later
than June 81, 1890, is not entitled to a
pension. A bill to change the time and
bring it up to 100? passed the last SEN
ate, but it was not reached in the rush
of the closing days in, the House, altho
it was presented and referred to the
Committee on Invalid Pensions.
S. D. s., Sayville, N Y: There is no
Federal law exempting pensioners from
paying taxes on town or any other prop
erty. Levying taxes on real and personal
property is matter of State control en-
tirely Some States exempt veterans
from poll tax, and occasionally worthy
veteran or widow, whose finances are
at a low ebb, may be exempted by Tax
Commissioners from paying taxes on a
homestead.
S. NJ. S., Hume, ILL.,: There is no law
or rule prohibiting fourth-class Post
masters from holding a Township Office
or doing anything else not in conflict
with their duties to the public in
promptly handling the mails.
S, S., Butler, Pa: The son Of vet
eran, if he is of age, can take up a
homestead, but the Army service of his
father cannot be applied on the time
to reduce the period before patent can
be issued. One who has already taken
up homestead cannot take up anoth-
er. The soldier who took up less than
160 acres prior to June %, 1874, can by
making proof of this fact secure a GER
tificate giving him authority to take up
enough more land anywhere on land
subject to homestead entry to complete
his 100 acres. This certificate is assign
able or transferable. This certificate
becomes an asset of the estate of vet
eran, and his heirs can enjoy it's bene-
fits or transfer it to any other person.
C. T. F., Pittsburg, Pa: Societies of
all kinds, patriotic and what not, are
multiplying. The Society of Descend
ants of the Signers of the Declaration
of Independence is a new one. 1t was
organized during the jamestown EX-
position. Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden,
96 Fifth avenue, New York City, is
President-General of the International
Sunshine Society. The society is not
a charitable one, but is for an inter-
change of kindly greetings and the
passing of good cheer. There are no
costs for organization and no dues. 1t
is incorporated under the laws of New
York, and various leading papers in the
country are engaged in the extension
of State and branch work. The MEM
bers, among other things, exchange
cheerful letters. To the crouch they
include something like this:

NJ B. c., Bluffton, o.: There are a
great many books devoted to the sub
ject of Immortality. Any bookseller
can supply you with list long enough
to enable you to make a large library.
The belief in the Immortality of animal
life is old and widespread. In Oriental
countries the belief is quite general. and
for that reason the killing of animals
for food is opposed. For this reason
there is less cruelty among the Orien-
tails to animals than among: the more

And many people in Washington be-
lieve that the President will eventually
offer some high place within his gift to
former Senator Joseph B. Foraker. At
times he has been very bitter toward
Senator Foraker, as Senator Foraker
has been very bitter toward him. New
ertheless, the President has at heart a
very kindly feeling for Senator Forak-
er, who gave him the first public office
he ever held. The President has often
called attention to the fact that when
Foraker was Governor of Ohio he ap-
pointed him (Taft) to a Judgeship on
the Superior Bench of Cincinnati It
will take little time for any program
for the recognition Ex-senator Foraker
to work out, but the opportunity will
probably come. Senator Foraker may
be unwilling to accept anything from
the Presidents hands, but that is an
other matter. Some think he will be a
candidate for Senator two years from
now in Ohio, and it Is not beyond the
possibilities that he will be elected

Vice President Fairbanks.

The most obstinate of all the allies
was former Vice President Fairbanks.
He deeply resented the methods by
which President Taft was nominated,
and he never did get over his resent
ment at methods that were used against
him. But President Taft has been TAX
ing pains to placate even the former
Vice President. Some of Mr.. Fair
banks's closest political and personal
friends fell outside the breastworks in
Indiana. They were Senator James
Hemenway, his campaign manager, and
Representative James Watson. who was
defeated for Governor of Indiana. Presi-
dent Taft has offered both of them good
fat Federal offices. which they have
declined. He has, in fact, offered two
or three different offices to Mr.. Watson.
who is staying in Washington, altho his
term as a member of the House has
expired. One of these was the Cover
norship of Porto Rico. He offered to
make Senator Hemenway, who was sue
ceeded by Democrat, Minister to
China at $4,000 a year, which place
will soon be elevated to the rank of
ambassador at $4,000 a year. But
Mr.. Hemenway also declined.
Thereupon President Taft has taken
the name of Mr.. Fairbanks under con-
sideration for the Enthusiastically to
the Court of st. James. Mr.. Fairbanks
is on the Pacific Coast, and will soon
start for a tour around the world, but
ambassador Whitelaw Reid probably

MAGNANIMITY

New York, made their peace during
the campaign. Nobody worked more
effectively for Taft's election than did
Gov. Hughes. But, of course, the Pres
ident can offer no Office to Gov. Hughes
that would be at all attractive to him
as compared with the Chief Executive
of the largest State in the Union. But
the Governor comes down to Washing
ton occasionally now, and is on inti-
mate terms with the White House. He
did not enjoy such relations with the
White House prior to March 4, and
when he came to Washington during
the last Administration 1t was solely
because of necessity or because of a
summons from the President, and he
got away as soon as he could. He was
invited here on some social occasions,
where he would have touched elbows
with President Roosevelt, but always
declined those invitations when he
could. President Taft was no sooner
in office than certain Washington peo-
pie learned that Gov. Hughes would be
glad to come here on certain social
functions to which he had been declin-
ing invitations. All of which was looked
upon as significant.
