Gen. Mead's Real Character

that he would be glad to do all that he
could to help them, and then, after
bordering moment or two, turned to
me.
Gen. Sharpe" he asked, quietly,
is there any general close at hand
who is on good terms with Gen.
Meade?"
Il replied that no one could be on
better terms with him than myself.
At that Grants face showed the in
ward relief he undoubtedly felt.
Then he said, I wish you would es-
cort these gentlemen to Gen. Meade's
headquarters, and request him for me
within his power
Arrived at Gen. Meades head
quarters, 1 requested the Englishmen
to remain outside for few moments,
so that | might prepare Gen. Meade
for their reception. Then l entered
his tent and found him, as l was half
afraid that l might, in a very irritable
mood. Something-possibly some.
thing most trivial-had gone wrong
and when l told him what my errand
was, he let loose and swore like
trooper. But at last he said: Gen.
Sharpe, bring your friends to me in
about Is minutes, / will receive them
then
Promptly at the specified time I en-
tered Gen. Meade's tent with the two
visitors, and what do you suppose
saw? Gen. Meade CARRIED immaculate
ly from head to foot in full dress uni
form, never handsome in appearance,
and the acme Of dignif1ed and impress
sive presence. And when l introduced
the Englishmen he received them with
the utmost graciousness and put them
at their ease at once. And this was
the same man who had been swayed
by passion a short quarter of an hour
before
We'll, for nearly an hour. Gen.
Meade held those Englishmen in
thrall while he discoursed on the
strategy of the campaign. His cour-
tesy, his thoughtfulness, hE SIMPLE
ity, his modesty, his patience at ques-
lions, completely captivated them, and
when finally the interview was over
and / rode away with them they could
not sound his praises loud enough.
You see, he gave those two men a
glimpse of the Gen. George c. Meade
that not many men of the Army of the
Potomac got. But we of his staff
knew right along that he had ten
der heart, and our only regret was
that. against his own good, he so
often hid it behind those outbursts Of
irritability for which he has become
famous in the personal history of our
Civil War"

William WINDOWS Story of the Way
In Which He Routed Financiers
Who Were Selfish and
Graspinq.

About a year before William Win
dom, who had been United States SEN
ator from Minnesota and secretary of
the treasury in President Garfield's
cabinet, returned to public life at the
head OF the treasury department in
President Harrison's first cabinet in
1889, met him in the Office of COM
mon friend. BY chance the converse
ton turned upon some of the incl
dents associated with Mr.. WINDOWS
brief service in General Garfeld's
cabinet.
Senator" | said, 81 have always
been anxious to know how it happen
ed that you hit upon the precise plan
by which you COMPOUNDED and put to
rout many of the great banks and
bankers of the United States in the
late spring of 1892"
The senator laughed heartily,
Why" he said, that plan was due
entirely to one of those curious
chances, these accidental discoveries,
out of which sometimes great triumphs
come.
You may remember that the con-
gress which sat in the last months OF
President Hayss administration pass
ed an act authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to refund a very large
issue of bonds which bore five per
cent. interest with a new issue bear
ing only three and half per cent. 1t
was legislation that caused the bank
erS of the country to be very much put
out. They wanted the refunding bonds
to bear at least four per cent. inter
est and, If possible, four and half
per cent, and because they did not
get what they wanted they began to
surrender circulation in very large
amounts, so large, in fact, that there
was danger Of great stringency in
the money market AS l now recall 1t,
they surrendered about thirty millions
of circulation in the course of four or
five weeks, and the situation was
made all the more serious by the ap-'
parent intention of the bankers to sell
the government bonds which had been
returned to them by the treasury
when they surrendered circulation.
Consequently, President Hayes, not de-
string to have the money market
greatly upset and the bonds probably
deprecated, vetoed the refunding bill,
and great was the JOY of the bankers,
who felt that they had won the vic
tory.
"A few weeks later. when l became
secretary of the treasury, one of the
important matters that speedily came
before me was those five per cent.
bonds. The government would soon
have the option of redeeming them.
yet l knew that this would not be
expedient, and that meant, evidently.
that we would have to continue pay
ing interest on them at the rate of five
per cent.
Well, one evening, as was walk
ing back and forth wondering what l
could do in my dilemma, with con-

Doctor Armitase Helped Cardinal Nc
Closkey Refute Falsehood Con-
corning Site of ST. Patrlck's
Cathedral.

One of the worlds noted modern
cathedrals is st. Patrick's, in New
York. Much has been written about
1t in the years that 1t has been built,
but, if | mistake not, the story has
hitherto remained unpublished OF
how a widespread lie regarding its
site led to the eementing OF an IN
Innate friendship between the first
American cardinal, Rt. Rev. Jonn
McCloskey, and the late Rev. DR..
Armitage. who. during the many years
that he was pastor of the New YORK
city church where John ID. Rockefeller
worships, was regarded as the leaolns

time there was a widespread ru-

Patrick's cathedral had been gwen
free OF cost by the city to the cathe-
dral authorities by some trick OF the
Tammany Hall crowd. Ii was ru-

in fact, but it kept spreading, and
many people believed it, to the great

they should be extended at the rate of
three per cent, and would permit such
an agreement to be stamped upon the
face of the bonds, why, then, the
bonds would not be liable to immedi-
ate redemption.
Now, you know the banks must
have government bonds in order to
have circulation and the bankers,
quick to see that | had them, fairly
tumbled over one another in their
eagerness to have their five per cent.

at a rate one-half of one per cent.

had they not frightened President
Hayes into vetoing the bill authoriZ-
ing the treasury department to refund
the five per cent. with three and d
half per cent. bonds.
''It was truly laughable, and, do you
know, practically all of the five per
cent bonds were refunded in this
manner, and all because of that hap
by chance thought of mine. And as a
finishing touch to the complete rout of
the bankers, congress, at its next ses-
sion, passed a law forbidding the
banks to surrender currency in excess
of three million dollars month. The
banks could no longer dump their cir
culation into the United States treas
ury in order to brighten the govern
ment into letting them have their

After the Army of the Potomac had
taken up winter quarters along the
banks of the James river in the latter
quarters one day two Englishmen who
were recognized authorities in British
military circles. They carried let

minister explained that its bearers
were friends of his, that they had
come to this country for the special
purpose of studying the movements of

C--.-l " nave pccA unioi-
tunate from the start, and the one tie
between husband and wife was a lit
tie daughter, Sara, who promised to
develop into a girl of rare charm and
talent. At eleven she was earning
money with her pen and she has writ
ten poetry that is deemed worth while
by critics.
But in time even this tie failed TO
bind The inevitable "other woman"
appeared on the scene, and the wife
and mother passed through that deep
valley Of humiliation which is so often
revealed in divorce courts.
Mr.. Romans, who was theatrical
manager, making a good income, con-
tinued to support his wife and daugh-
ter. but made his home with the other
woman. Relatives and friends tried
to induce Mrs. Romans to sue for d.
vorce, but she firmly refused. While
not Roman Catholic, her personal
religious creed did not tolerate di-
vorce, and she declared that the day
would come when the man who had
married her would once more need
her-and she must be ready to re-
spond to the call
Her very serenity in her hour of
stress did much to ripen a beauty
which up to that time had been mere
ly girlish prettiness. Hair Of rather
nondescript tone turned to an ex-
quisite gray, accentuating the deep
glow of hazel eyes. With her slim
girlish figure-though she was close
to thirty-and fresh, delicate COM
plexion, she made charming picture.
At least that was what Or. Edward
Charles Parker, professor of literature
In the manual training school Of Phil
adelphia, thought when he saw her
standing, bewildered and anxious, in
the crowded waiting-room of a local
station. He passed her, turned and
looked back. She was still in the
same position, but now she was turn
ing her handbag and her coat peck
cts, inside out. The look of anxiety
grew, and finally as what she sought
was not unearthed, blank look set
tied on her face. 1t was quite clear,

but Mrs. Romans insisted that plain

Now, of course, Professor Parker
never would have missed the nickel
or two, but not for worlds would he
miss the opportunity of meeting this
fair woman again. He gave her a
card. She opened her bag and drew
out one of her cards on which Pro-
fessor Parker wrote the address OF

did not mind, he would call for that
