An AGED Widows Case.

Mrs Maria E. Mills, Wilmington, Ill, ;
says she II now So years of age, and
consequently quite feeble. Her hus-
bands grandfather was Col. John Mills,
and in 1912 raised a regiment at his
home in Albany, n. Y, at his own ex-
pense. He was mortally wounded at
the landing of the British at Sackett's
Harbor, but his regiment did effective
service. After the war the regiment
obtained the consent of the Albany au-
thorities for a military funeral to bring
down Col. Mills's remains, and buried
them in Capitol Park. He had sword
worn by Lord Nelson. 1t was burned
up in the Chicago fire, with all her hus-
bands papers. Her husbands father
was In the United States Navy until he
died in 1912. Her husband served in
an Ohio regiment, and his Captains
name was White. but she is unable to
discover anything more and is unable
to travel in search of the records. He
was wounded IL the bayonet charge at
Vicksburg and sent to hospital at st.
Louis named st. Angelus. 1t was an
old shack, and was torn down after the
war. He died there, and was buried in
a trench with II other men. She is
unable to get g. pension on account of
being unable TO prove her husbands
service, and she has faint hope that

Didn't Know President Lincoln.

c. c. Bunker, Central Bridge. N. Y,
sends a clipping containing a letter
from Crawford Griswold, First Sergeant
Troop l, 1st n. Y. M'td Rifles, Fort
Wayne, Ind. Comrade Griswold says
that he and Comrade Bunker met a few
DAYS ago and had an interesting Re
union. He says: When we went down
the Rappahannock River to Union
Wharf on the steamer Sylvan Shore
Charley was going to Lancaster Court
House, and I stayed at Union Wharf in
charge of supplies for the battalion.
Charley had a desperate adventure in
Fredericksburg after the close of the
war. He was Sergeant of the provost
guard, and in performance of his duty
went into a saloon where a lot of ex-
Confederates, who had been drinking
were making a disturbance. When he
ordered quiet restored one Of the Con-
federates smashed the only lamp in the
room, and in the darkness began to cut
and slash with knives, Charley being
the first victim. He was near to deaths
door when one of his men got out and
called for assistance and the riot was
soon quelled." COmrade Griswold also
tells of Bunker's interview with Presi-
dent Lincoln, who talked with him for
nearly an hour, trying to get the opin-
ions of the rank and file. Bunker did
not know whom he had been talking to
until the Adiutant-General told him.

AGES -OF VOLUNTEERS. .
There Has Never Been Any Official Col
IatiOn of the Muster Rolls.

Editor National Tribune: / was great
ly Interested in the figures given by
Col. E. I. Lee. of Minneapolis, concern
ing the ages of the enlisted men of the
civil war. When he speaks of his fig
ures as official he is laboring under a
mistake. l saw the same figures two
or three years ago, and they interested
me SO much that L filed them away.
Last Summer / began to think that Ii
was doubtful whether such a tabulation
had ever been made or even could be
made, OF course. the ages according to
the enlistment could be made. but that
would be an immense labor. considering
the size of the army 1t must be kept
in mind that the men or boys, rather,
who enlisted under Is usually were en-
listed as 18. 1t Is simply impossible to
find out how many Of these there were.
There are no official records on this
point. and there are no data by which
such computation can be made. L
finally concluded that 1 would find out
about the matter, and so wrote to the
Adjutant- General at Washington, send
ing the statistics. Writing to me under
date of Aug. 2, 1909, he says:
The fact that no compilation show
ing the ages at which men serving in
the civil war entered the service has
ment. which is the only Department
which has. the records from which a
reliable compilation of such statistics
can be made, should be sufficient to
show that figures such as these given in
the inclosed newspaper clipping have
no official basis and are entitled to no
credit whatever"
This letter from the Adjutant- Cen
eral settles the question so far as any
official record is concerned. 1t is evil
dent that some one has made a guess,
and perhaps has not missed it widely
so far as the youngest are concerned.
The newspaper clipping that l have
contains two other parts of the table
not quoted by Col. Lee. 1t says that
the number Of men 25 years old and
over was 46,626; those A years old and
over was 16,071 / am sure that these
last figures cannot be right Take the
case of the men 25 years old and over.
Suppose these men had all enlisted in
1861 at the age of 25. They would De
but 76 years old now. I believe that
there are at least 46.62S veterans now
living at the age of rs. This is only a
guess, ,however,TW. w. Gist, 26th
