He Returned My Salute, But Said
Nothing.

that l beheld that day none comes tC
little scene that occurred when the
fighting was over for the day.
In the evening, just after dark, we
Of the staff came struggling in one aft
er another to General Meade's head
quarters, plain little farmhouse.
When | entered the room the general
was seated at a table, with his chin
resting in his hand, and evidently
deep in thought He returned my sa-
lutte, but said nothing.
I'm few minutes another of the
staff came in, then another and so on
until all were present. We were all
covered with dust, and my face felt as
though it had a thick incrustation of
mud on it.
Presently the servant came in and
spread upon the table few crackers
or bareback, some pieces of bacon, and,
If recollect, little fruit-perhaps they
were cherries, although where he
could have got them l do not know.
General Meade looked smilingly, al
though it was rather a dry smile, at
our humble repast Then, doubtless
realizing how worn out we all were, he
said: This is one of the occasions
when | think a man is justified in
taking a drink of whisky
General Meade was himself very
abstemious man, rarely drinking any
spirituous liquor, and the same was
true of every member of the staff.
"I will see If there is any whisky
here he added. Again he spoke to
the servant, who, moment or two
later, brought in a bottle nf whisky and
set it upon the table.
General Meade glanced casually at
the bottle.
General Sharpe he said, won't
you take glass of whisky? l think
1t will do you good
Il took up the bottle and tumbler,
although never knew how that tum-
bier got upon the table at that time.
Without pouring out any whisky, said
to General Meade: General, l think
you ought to take drink. You need
1t more than any of u.s.
General Meade, without taking the
bottle. looked at it, and, in the dim
light of the two candles that were on
the table, was able to see exactly how
much whisky 1t contained. There was
not enough for one moderate drink.
The general again glanced casually |
at the bottle. No. he said, 1 don't |
think l care for any whisky. Iwould |
like cup OF coffee
Then he urged one of the staff to
take a drink, but he, also having dis |
covered by this time that there was |
only one drink In the bottle, shook his |
head and passed the bottle along. In |
similar fashion the whisky was re
fused by each member of the staff, ana |
in the middle of the table the bottle |
stood, with its scanty contents un.
touched while we ate our hardtacL
and bacon.
ITO me that bottle has always told
a perfect story of the devotion and un.
selfishness of the commanding Officer
and the members of his staff. don't |
remember any incident Of the war thai
more impressed me with the real un
selflshness which desperate expert
ences develop in true military man
than this remuneration of the drink by Il
General Meade and his staff under con
ditions that would have warranted
even a teetotaler in foregoing his
pledge"

SUBJECT OF HEARING YESTER.
DAY BY ILLINOIS r. r. AND
w. COMMISSIONERS.
CASE STRONGLY STATED
In Behalf of Cairo Board of Trade
by j. e. Magee and n. e. Hal.
lday-Taken Under
Amusement.
SPECIAL TO The Bulletin.

SPECIAL 10 The Bulletin.
Springfield, H.. Oct, 1.-The state
board of railroad and warehouse com
missioners today heard the informal
ease regarding the appointment Of w,
IS. Powell, of Cairo, as grain inspector
there, involving the right of the
Board of Trade of Cairo to appoint
the inspector. The commission took
the matter under advisement. Adj
dresses were made by j. B. Magee
and II. f. Halliday, of Cairo, in be-
half Of the Board of Trade. Mr..
Wayne, OF Deeyau, president Of the
Illinois Grain Dealers Association.
w, L. Shellaharger. of Decatur vice
president, and w. S. Strong, of Ur-
bana, secretary Of the same associa-
ton. spoke against the appointment
of Mr.. Powell by the Cairo Board OF
Trade.
The officers Of the Illinois Grain
Dealers Association raised the point
as to the validity of the Cairo Board
of Trade inspection. They hold that
the inspection should be under the
authority of the state board of rail-
road and warehouse commissioners.
The Cairo grain dealers stated to
the board that the inspection of grain
n Cairo was done by authority of the
charter that was granted to the Cairo
Board of Trade under the laws o.
1872.
Under a recent law the railroad and
warehouse commission was given aE
thori;y to appoint chief grain in.
spectcr for the state, who has au,
thori;y to appoint deputy inspectors
for GLASS A. elevators in cities Of
100000 population or more.
The statute provides that class "B'
elevators are no. under the control
Of the state inspection, unless the
county commissioners and superyis
ors in the counts whore the elevator
are located make application to the
state board Of railroad and warehouse
commissioners for state inspection.
The contention of the Cairo grain
dealers is that as the county board o;
supervisors Of Alexander county have
not asked the railroaI and warehouse
commission for state inspection tht
railroad and warehouse commission
has no jurisdiction in the matter Of
appointing an inspector of grain a
Cairo.
Elm addition to Messrs. Magee anC
Halliday there were present at th'
hearing on behalf Of the Cairo Boar,
Of Trade H. S Antrim, president o
he Board of Trade of Cairo, Irt
Hastings, john Thistlewood an,
Chas Cunningham.
