How Crisp and Mills, Both Former
iouthcrn Soldiers, Helped Make
Him General Of Army Just
Before He Died.

Had Gen. Philip H. Sheridan lived
antil March Of this year her would
have been eighty years Of age. Simon
Bolivar Buckner is the only one of
the more prominent generals upon
either side in the Civil war to reach
SO great an age. Nearly all the 9TH
srs died before reaching seventy-fve
years of age. General Sheridan died
on August s, 1888, at Nonquitt, Mass,
whittier he had been taken In the
nope that the bracing atmosphere of
the sea might restore his health. Non
quit is situated upon the west bank
or Buzzard's bay, and nearly at the
point where bay and ocean meet
When General Grant became prest-
dent, General Sherman succeeded
Grant as general of the army and
Sheridan moved up into Sherman's
old position, that of lieutenant gen.
eral. When General Sherman went
upon the retired list in 1884, General
Sheridan became the general-in-chief,
having the rank of lieutenant gen
eral, and 1t was the most popular i'm
preston that the grade of general
had passed forever with the retire
ment of Sherman
In May, 1888, Sheridan, while trav-
cling as head of the army, was ex-
posed to inclement weather in the
west He brought back to Washing
ton the seeds of organic disease, and
no medical skill was able to stay its
progress. In the summer of that
year, when it was evident that Sheri-
dan had but a little while to live, his
friends at Washington thought it
worth while to persuade congress, IL
possible, to pass bill restoring the
grade OF general and permitting Sher-
idan to be nominated to that Office.
The house of representatives con-
tanned majority of Democrats. and
many Of the members had seen serv-
Ice in the Confederate army. How
ever, the friends of Sheridan appealed
to some of the Republican leaders,
among them Thomas B. Reed, then
leader-1n-chief on the Republican
side, and the members undertook to
feel out the house regarding the plan.
The first Democrat of prominence to
whom the suggestion was made was
a Confederate veteran, Charles F.
Crisp of Georgia, who three years
later became speaker of the house.
DO you suppose that it would be
possible to get bill through the
house restoring the grade of general
and permitting the nomination of
Sheridan to that Officer" he was asked.
II would rather give my support to
measure of that kind in favor OF

MADE BANK ACCOUNT GOOD
Why Uncle Reuben Gould Not Meet

an Obligation.

Uncle Reuben, the village white
washer and man of all work, was a
frequent borrower of small sums
from his neighbor, Colonel Arkwright,
and as q rule he repaid these little
debts at the appointed time; but on
one occasion, when he had been &C
commodated with loan of two dol
lars and half, which he promised
to return in a few days, he allowed
two or three weeks to pass without
making any mention of his indebted
ness, and in fact, seemed to avoid
his creditor. But one morning the
colonel Unexpectedly encountered him
at the postoffice.

Famous Cavalry Generals Own Mod
est Account Of the Conditions
That Made 1t Necessary for
Him to Lead In Person.

"All of the great soldiers of the Civil
war on both sides were in private
life very modest, quiet and unassum-
ing" said the late Colonel William
Edwards of Cleveland, father of Gen
eral Clarence r. Edwards of the reg
ular army, who was on Lawton's staff
at the time Lawton met his death in
the Philippines.
II have met nearly all of them, at
least all who survived the war, ex-
cepting General Lee" Colonel Ed
wards continued, The most retiring
of all was General Thomas, the most
viyacious was General Sheridan. Sher-
Idan was exceedingly good company.
but in his private life he did not sug-
gest the brilliant, daring, dashing and
highly magnetic commander which he
proved himself to be at the time of
the war.

General Sheridan at my house at
Cleveland in the autumn of 1881. 1t
was at the time of the funeral OF
President Garfield Another of the
guests at my house at that time was
the Secretary of the Treasury, William
Window, and there were four or five
others who also had come to Cleveland
expressly to attend the Garfield fu-
neral.
AT dinner the night before the fu-
neral Secretary Window and General
Sheridan sat next to each other and
they were engaged in conversation
during the entire meal. Sheridan
was particularly anxious to obtain
from Secretary Window some of the
details of Garfield's last illness and
especially of his death. Mr.. Window
patiently answered all the questions
put tS him; but after the meal was
over and we were lingering over our
cigars he took charge Of the conversa-
ton with Sheridan.

Sheridan's Ride Explained

Sheridan held up his hand with an
expostulating gesture. L hope. he
said, you are not going to quote that
poem! 1t is well enough as poetry,
perhaps, but there isn't much truth
in it, as a matter of fact
'What?' exclaimed Secretary Win
dom. You don't mean to say that you
did not rally the panic-stricken Union
forces, make them turn about and lead
them into battle, in which they were
victorious?
"'Oh. no, all that happened, Sher-
idan replied, but that isn't the way
the poem puts it,
Well, General, Secretary Window
continued, I would like to ask you
question. Was it absolutely necessary
for you personally to lead our army at
that time? Why could not some other
general have done that?'
We'll, replied Sheridan, I think
that was one of the rare cases where
it was absolutely essential that the
commanding general himself lead
There We're other officers who could
have fought the battle as we'll as /
did, probably. But the men were pan
ic-stricken. Now, it is we'll known to
army men that a panic-stricken army
can be rallied usually only by one
officer. There is one commander al
ways in whom the soldiers have per-
feet confidence Confidence of that
kind requires that commander take
the lead in person. My men would
not have obeyed had stood at the
rear and motioned them to go back
l knew that intuitively, and I had not
the slightest doubt that when my boys
saw me riding towards the front they
would follow me with implicit conf
dence. and they did; they would have
followed me to Richmond. if that be
necessary. That was the reason why
| took command in person leading
the army at that time.
But said Secretary Window,
isn't it regarded the part Of prudence,
even of necessity, that the command
ing general expose himself as little
to danger as POSSIBLE?
II wish you could have seen the
beautiful smile that played upon Sher-
idan's features, and just the sugges-
ton of fire that was in his eyes, as he
replied: Well. that depends And
with that ,aswer Secretary Window
had to be content"

Their Tribute to Sheridan

who was upon the Union side" Mr..
Crisp replied instantly He was a
brave soldier, a great soldier, and ne
was leader of most kindly consider
alton and of real modesty."
do you think you can persuade
your friends upon your side or the
house to support a measure of that
kind?" Mr.. Crisp was then asked.
Il can If l can give them a good
reason for urging such action at this
time. Tell me such a reason"
General Sheridan is dying. He
has probably but few days--or
weeks at the most-to live. We I'M
derstand that he has little property;
all that his family will have will be
Mrs. Sheridan's pension as the widow
of an army officer. Sheridan wrote
his personal memoirs In the hope that
the sale of them would bring him
some capital But the book appeared
at an inopportune time; there are too
many memoirs. We know that il
Sheridan could be assured that con-
gress had honored him with the rank
of general and that his widow would
received the increased emoluments
which the pension paid to generals
widow make possible, he would feel
greatly relieved"
That's is enough" Mr.. Crisp re-
piled. 81 know a statement of that
kind will appeal to a great majority
