Cannot Understand.

James II. Green, Boston, Mass, took
his grandson the rounds which he had
marched. The grandson is now 16
years old, or older than Comrade Green
was when he did his service. When they
came to Lees statue they found his
name plainly cut in the base of the
statue, but when in Washington in the
Capitol they saw Gen. Grants statue,
they were surprised to hear a young
lady near ask who ii was. There was
nothing on the statue to indicate it.
He was also disturbed to see Old Glory
hanging in saloons and from the doors
of the same in Washington.

ono of sheridan's Bodygmard.

Daniel Boyer, 14th Pa Cav, Lang
Vile, Pa, says that the statement of
Comrade II. G. Karr. 116th Ohio, comes
as near the right thing as he has ever
read about the fight at Cedar Creek.
Comrade Boyer thinks that he ought to
know. as he was one of Sheridan's
bodyguard from Martinsburg. They lay
at Winchester all night. The next morn
ing, before 1t was light, they heard the
cannon booming, and Sheridan got on
his horse and told them to deploy and
bring every man back. telling them that
sheridan had gone up to the front.

CAPE,
PIunges Over a Prccipice and Is, With
His Horse, Rendered Unconscious at
Cetiar Crcck-Shcridan's Arrfyal.

Editor National Tribune: have been
very much amused at what the COM
rades have to say about Sheridan'S ride,
the time he arrived, where the most of
his troops Were. what he said, etc. Now
comes Comrade c. L. Webster, and says
that Gen. Sheridan rode from Martins
| burg that morning and arrived at the
front about . p. m, and some others
have said about the same thing. But
why guess at ii at all when we can have
Sheridan'S own word for the whole bus
mess in his Personal Memoirs,' where
he plainly states that he slept in Win
chester that night and started for the
| front about a. 1n., and after he had
met q large body Of the troops he spent
some time in looking matters over and
| then rode along the line? But L Will
quote his own words here from Vol. 2,
| page Sc:
But at least two hours had elapsed
since / reached the ground, for it was
after midday when this incident of rid
| ing down the front took place, and 1
arrived not later certainly than half
past 10 o'clock"
Now, it seems to me that ought to
nail that down so no one viii try to rip
1t up. one thing l do not quite under
stand, and that is why so many seem
to be proud because they saw Gen.
Sheridan when he was making his fam
Gus ride, with his black horse covered
With foam, and they tell what he said.
Plenty OF Room in Front.
Now, i just want to say that there
was plenty of room on the front line. j
know that for ] was there all day, and
felt mighty lonesome, too. / heard the
troops cheer when the General rode
along the line, and should judge they
were a full mile in rear of where l was,
and about that time / WIS shooting at a
battery a little to the right of where /
was, and think ii must have annoyed
them, for they turned a gun on me, and
sent several shells past me plenty near
enough for safety.
In Gen. John =. Gordon's book,
"reminiscences of the Civil War;" he
devoteS cons derable space to the bat
tie of Cedar Creek, and claims if he
had been allowed to follow up the vic
tory of the morning Sheridan's ride
would not have happened, for he would
have delivered his army to him in Win
chester at a speed about the same as
Gen Early said they had victory enough
for one day. and so We had time to rest
and get our innings in the afternoon.
People, as a rnle, think that Gen.
Sheridan did all the rough riding there
was that day. but they have another
guess coming, for Gen. Gordon did a
very fine one-act stunt in the evening;
and, by the way, we came nearer get
ting him than he did to capturing Sheri-
dan in the morning, as he planned /

NEW YORK CITY FLOODED
WITH COUNTERFEIT COIN
Great Quantity of Spurious Money
Causes Corporations to
Issue Warnings

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-New York
city is flooded with counterfeit quar-
ters and dimes. So much of the small
spurious silver is said to be in circu-
lation that many corporations and es-
pecially the transportation companies
have issued warnings to cashiers anC
ticket sellers.
Many Of the coins have been seized
by secret service agents, but so fal
they have been unable to trace the
source of the supply, although indica-
tions are that they are being coined
somewhere in Brooklyn. Restaurants
theaters and other places where change
is made quickly have been victimized
and one ticket seller on the t. says
that no less than $40 in bad quarters
and dimes were offered to him during
one evening recently.
Women ticket sellers on the Brooklyn
elevated have been victimized by the
wholesale.
The coins pass readily upon superb
cial inspection, but the quarters are
more deceiVing than the dimes. The
larger coins have the appearance of a
genuine and have a fairly good ring.

oughly impressed is President Roose-
velt with the necessity of conservat ton
Of the natural resources of the world
that today he directed Secretary of
State Bacon, at the suggestion of the
North American conservation confer
ence, in session here, to extend a for
NAL invitation to foreign powers to
participate in an annual conference TO
deal with this important problem, to
be held at The Hague next September.
The announcement of the proposed
international gathering was made by
President Roosevelt following a lunch
con which he today gave in honor of
the commissioners from this country,
Canada and Mexico who are in attend
ance upon the conference.
In addition, Ambassador Bryce of
Great Britain, Senator Knox and others
were present. Senator Knox, who is to
be secretary of state in Mr.. Taft's cab
met, is in hearty sympathy with the
idea of worlds conference.
All Of the forty-five nations repre-
sented at The Hague peace conference
will be invited to participate.
In an official statement given out at
the White House tonight it was an
nounced the conference delegates rem
reSenting the United States, Mexico and
ance of the movement for the conser-
vatiOn of the natural resources on the
continent of North America and believe
that 1t is of such general Importance
that it should become world wide, and
therefore suggested to the president
that all nations should be invited to
join in a conference on the subject Of
worlds resources and their inventory,
conservation and wise utilization.

naturally be aroused in other countries
by the present conference, the president
himself saw the probability that II
would be precursor Of a world con-
ference.
By an aidememorire Of January {
last the principal governments were in
formally sounded to ascertain whether
they would look with favor upon an
invitation to send delegates to such a
conference. The responses have so far
been uniformly favorable
1t is believed the nations invited will
accept with the same degree of cor
diality with which Canada and Mexico
accepted the invitation to participate
in the North American conference.
1t was learned today that at least
two foreign powers felt keenly disap-
pointed because they were not invited
to meet with the North American con-
ference, and they have suggested the
adviSa bility of an international confer
ence through their dispomatic repre-
sentatives.
Inasmuch as the initial movement
has been taken by President Roosevelt
the engineering of the matter will be
left to this government.
