that Colonel Shaw happened to begin
his military service with the New
York regiment
1T was due to chance visit that
Robert Shaw made to my house on
Staten Island. My wife was his SIS
ter, and though he was Of Massachus-
etts citizenship, he was In the habit
of speaking of our Staten Island
home as his other home.
'In the winter of 1861 he was with
us. From day to day he followed
! closely the development OF the re-
lations between the north and the
south. He was sure that was war In
evitable; he believed that 1t would be
his duty to enlist for it, and with that
idea in mind he became member OF
the Seventh regiment. Well, in the
spring the war that he had looked for
came. and he went to the front as
handsome appearance. the patriouc
earnestness shining in his face. and
his soldierly bearing as he marched

months regiment. At the end oil that
period Robert went back to his own
state and was given his first commis-
sion in the Second Massachusetts
Then, in 1868, when he was captain
came the incident of which all of mis-
family, and especially his father was
very proud.
Massachusetts was the first state
of the north to raise regiment OF
negro soldiers; Robert was asked py
Governor Andrew If he would accept
the colonelcy. Many persons thought
he would decline it His family was
rich. they were members OF the most
cultivated circles of Boston. and he
was himself a Harvard man. But ne
told us that he regarded 1t as high
duty and opportunity to accept the
offer. for he believed that the moral
effect produced by the leading OF the
first negro regiment " lhe iiOHt W
man who was no adventurer would be
of great value. At the head OF the
regiment he again went to the front
with his fathers blessing and the ap-
proyal of all who were near him. ana
he fell with many members OF his reg
iment at the assault upon Fort Wag-
ner. in South Carolina. on July 1S or
the same year.
when the news OF his death was
received by his father. and the father
was asked what disposition should be
made of his boys body. he remained
quiet for a few moments. His head
was bowed with sorrow that his son
should have died, and yet he was sus-
tanned by the feeling of honorable
pride for the brief career of this bril-
liant and handsome son. At last ne
raised his head and said:
81 have only one answer to make
when you ask what disposition shall
be made of my sons body, and that
is this: Let him be buried with the
soldiers who perished with him. That'
am sure, would have been his

USE OF GERRYMANDER
IN GAME Of POLITICS

The present session Of Congress will he
the last long one of that body TO be
held under the apporttonmant Of the cen
sus of 1900 The next long session will
be that of a House made up under the
1910 apportionment.
The census bureau takes the census and
finds out how many people there are IN
the United States. Then Congress deter
mines how many representatives there
shall be during the ensuing ten wears.
These representatives. are apportioned
among the states in proportion TO popula-
ton. Then each state legislature divides
up the state into a corresponding number
OF congressional districts.
1t is here that one of the greatest fac
tors in American politics comes N the
gerrymander. One hears much In these
days Of base ball battles of one side has-
ing 1.-The edge" on Its opponents
Given q Big Advantage.
The gerrymander gives one side the
edge" In politics In the state using IT. A
state is so laid out into congressional dis
tricts by the party in power that In
many cases the party polling three-ffths
of the votes in congressional election
may get only two-tifths of the states
representation in Congress.
This, of course, gives the party IN pow
er In a state legislature the edge ON
its opponents, and 1t IS an edge that
only a Landslide will overcome. Ii Is a
game played by botn SIDES In various
states. and constitutes one of the stra-
tegic points on the elective Dattieheia.

West Points Good Record.

Prior at least to yesterdays game,
West Point had not been scored on this
year. and in that respect has made an
exceptional record The Army lads have

on the other hand. while they have not
lost q game to date. have shown good
progress, but are either weaker than the
Soldiers or behind them in development
For instance, Princeton and the Navy
played 90 tie, with the Tigers having
the better of the argument. Princeton
and Lehigh played a 6-6 tie. yet West
Point beat Lehigh 900. In spite of the
fact that Lehigh's touchdown against
Princeton was in the nature of a f1uke.
the Soldiers look to have stronger eleven
than the Sailors at this writing.
The two academies are endeavorins to
induce President Taft to attend their
annual game. He has promised to do so If
his duties at Washington will permit. The
President, while an ardent base ball fan.
has never shown 80 much interest in foot
ball. Since these annual games were re-
sumed in 1899. only two Presidents have
witnessed the big game In 1901 Presi-
dent Roosevelt attended at Franklin
Field. and again he was the guest of the
two academies at Princeton In 1905.
