Civil war as the Drummer Boy of
Chickamauga, has now the honor of be
ing the Youngest as well as the oldest
and the only officer left on the active
list who saw service during the re
belilon
With the retirement of Major Daniel

unique position. He is now chief quar-
termaster of the Central division, with
headquarters at Chicago
Colonel Glenn served as musician of
Company c, Twenty second Michigan

Der 10, 1864. He entered the regular
army as a second lieutenant of the
Twenty fourth infantry in December,
1871. He is a native Of Ohio He was

he wishes
Colonel Glen was seized by the war
fever before ne had finished his tenth
year. He begged to go to the front as
a drummer boy with a regiment pass
ing through his native town Of New
ark, Ohio. On account Of his youth he
was rejected, but he was determined
and followed the troop to Cincinnati.
where he offered himself to the Tween
ty-second Michigan regiment, only TO
be declined again. They refused to
muster him in, but he persevered and
was allowed to accompany the regiment
in its subsequent movements till he
found himself at Shiloh with Grant.
on this field his drum was smashed
by piece Of shell. But It was at
Chickamauga that he won the 'sobri-
quet Of the Drummer Boy Of Chicka-
manga In the summer of 1863 he
had been allowed to exchange his drum
for musket shortened especially for
his use, for in his own words. he did
not like to stand and be shot at with
out being able to shoot back.
He blazed away like a veteran At
the close of the day when the army
was falling back on Chattanooga, his
brigade was surrounded and demand
made for its surrender Johnny did
not fall back as quickly as the rest

Former City Chamberlain Hyde,
Friend of Gaynor, Is Now
Wanted as Witness.

NEW YORK. Sept 1910 pave the
way at today's session Of the alderman
ic graft Investigating committee for
calling Charles f. Hyde. formerly city
chamberlain and close friend of Mayor
Gaynor, as a witness was the pro-
gram outlined this morning by Emory
r. Buckner, counsel for the committee.
Mr.. Buckner stated that Hydes name
had been on the list of possible wit
nesses since the campaign was COM
menced, but it was not until the con-
troyersy involving Under Sheriff A. j.
Johnson. Attorney George c. Norton,
the alleged promotion broker in the
police department, and Winfield r.
Sheehan. Commissioner Waldo's private
secretary, that Hyde's testimony be
came important
The committees counsel wants to
know what information, if any, Hyde
has of the grating in the police de-
partment and the bureau of promo
tion, where police officials could buy
any number of stripes that their peck
etbooks could stand.
1t was believed that neither Norton
nor Sheehan would be called Both
men are originally from Buffalo and
were intimate friends before coming to
this city.
Johnson was under orders to report
to the committee today to continue his
story begun yesterday upon the wit
ness stand, when he told how, being
led by "superheated curiosity" he hired
private detectives, who trailed Norton
to the apartment of Sheehan. Mr.
Buckner said he wanted further light
as to why Johnson hired detectives and
with whom he conversed before taking
the step.
Want to konw About Buying Captaincy
1t was Johnson, according to Police
Captain John Reith. who made the first
advances with an offer to nave that Of
fetal then lieutenant, promoted to a
captaincy if he would come across"
with 10000
Whether or not Hyde was concerned
with Johnson in Norton's movements is
| another question upon which Buckner
wants elucidation.
This same question is to be put to
Former Sheriff Nicholas Hayes, who
was the first person to call Johnsons
attention to the alleged headquarters
for the collection of police graft in the
building at 115 Broadway, according to
Johnson'S testimony. Norton's Office is
in the building at 115 Broadway.
Thomas Hassett, confidential secre-
tary to State Engineer Bensel, who was
mentioned in Reith's affidavit as having
been seen" in connection with the So
900 promotion came here from Albany
demanding that he be heard in self
explanation
Commissioner Waldo will be called
again as soon as all the other wit
nesses are heard in connection with the
Reith affidavit.
1t was originally said that the amount
in the Reith affidavit was $4,000 But
it has now been reduced to 10000
Reith, who has been on the force
for many years, compiled table of
prices for enhance and promotion in
| the department He said it cost him
$500 to get into the harbor squad and
$500 for promotion to roundsman. A
captaincy was worth $4,000, and other
grades were valued in proportion.

Last Sunday in the Catholic
churches of Louisville the May devo-
tions were inaugurated amid great
pomp and solemn splendor and were
witnessed by thousands. Especially
so was this the case at the Domini-
can, Sacred Heart and Holy Cross
churches, where imposing process
sions preceded the impressive serv-
ices. Three hundred children fol-
lowed their fifteen beautiful ban
ners at st. Louis Bertrand church,
which is unsurpassed in its demon
strations in honor of the Blessed
Virgin. Rev. Patrick Walsh con-
Quoted the services at the Sacred
Heart church, which was thronged
with people of the parish. Here also
there was an imposing display by
the children, who carried their white
silk banners in their procession.
Holy Cross parish witnessed it's
grandest display ssince that church
was built. The children, dressed in
white and carefully drilled by the
Sisters, entered the church from the
school and proceeded through each
aisle singing hymns to the Blessed
Virgin and then placed a beautiful
crown on the statue of the Blessed
Mother. Similar services were held
in the other churches, and at each
sermons were preached and reasons
given for Catholics paying homage
to the Blessed Virgin during the
month of May.

will be represented by two delegates,

reach 800 or 400.

ladies, selected from wives, sisters
and daughters of the members of
Frankfort Council, will look after
the ladies among the visitors and
will make their short stay in the
Capital City as pleasant as possible.

in and near Frankfort, such as the
new State Capitol, the old Capitol,
State Arsenal, State cemetery, noted
for the most beautiful natural
