A Communication.

In regard to that letter in your Mon
day paper, / agree with Mr.. Boston;
those loads of hay weren't big ones;
about 1900 pounds But l had held office
emily over night, and hadn't hardly got
onto my new job, and this was the frs
load of hay hauled, and / suppose the
men loaded just the same as they had
under the old government.
Mr. Boston says the men were prac-
tically two days hauling s. tons of hay
which is not so.
Now the city don't own any hayrack
with their other rigging, and We had 10
borrow one as best we could handy by,
and which did not prove to be large
one.

MAJ. GEN. SICKLES' LIFE is
LONG RECORD OF ROMANCE
AND TRAGEDY MINGLED
WITH MILITARY AND DIP
LOMiTIC HONOR.

NEW. YORK, Oct. 5.-Gen.
Daniel E. Sickles must answer
another $4,000 suit. Disguised
as messenger boys, process serv-
ers today were admitted to the
veteran, at 23 Fifth avenue, and
served him with summons and
complaint in suit of August
Hecksher to recover $4,000 on
an overdue promissory note.
Wilbur McKinstry, attorney for
Hecksher, says the suit has moth
ing whatever to do with any of
Gen. Sickles' family troubles.
Process servers said they had
been trying to serve papers for
ten days, but could not get inside
the house until they borrowed
messenger boy suits.
The love troubles of Maj. Gen.
Daniel e. Sickles would cause less
surprise If it were not for the
fact that love scandals have been
rare among American warriors.
But in this age, and in Amer
lea! 1t is little wonder that the
fragmentary news stories of the
fiery old generals life that have
recently flashed over the country
arouse intense interest.
Today General Sickles, hero,
statesman and diplomat, former
ambassador to Spain scion of one
of Americas proudest families, at
the age of 81, sits alone in his
Fifth avenue mansion, surround
ed by his priceless war relics and
his rare editions of beautiful
books, forgetful of these play
things, shorn of his peace and
honor-and all for love. His life
is now revealed as a succession of
love tragedies, and the end is
bitterness.
Gen. Sickles, before the war,
had married beautiful Teresa
Gagioli, daughter of Antonio Bag
ioli, a famous Italian musician.
She became involved in a love af-
fair with Philip Barton Key, then
United States district attorney at.
Washington. Sickles shot Key to
death and separated from his
young wife.
Gen. Sickles' military career Is
well known. He came out of
the war heroic figure. At Gettys-

would have to be sold for.

answer.
To prove this, If We take % per
cent of $1.41 1-39, and substract
1t from $1.41 1-3, we have $40,
which gives profit of 10 per cent

burg he had won special glory
and paid for it with the loss of a
leg. The loss, however, did not
diminish the generals gallantry,
either as a soldier or a wooer.
Among many positions of hon
or, Gen. Sickles was given the
post of ambassador to Spain.
There he won the love of Senior
tia Greah, the handsome daugh-
ter of a Spanish councillor of
state; of ancient and noble line
age. They were married in 1870.
Two children were born of this
union-Stanton, who has become
his bitter enemy, and Edna, now
Mrs. Crackenthorpe, wife of Capt.
Crackenthorpe of the British en-
bassy at Toxic, Japan. The same
misfortune that had marred the
generals first marriage overlook
his second. He charged his wife
with infidelity, and separated
from her in 1880. She has always
protested her innocence.
1t is this wife who, after a
separation of 32 years, a few days
ago came to her aged husbands
aid, paying his debts and saving
his war relics.
Now, however, comes the reve-
latiOn of the "other woman''-or
rather, of two other women, Mrs.
Sickles has declared that the gen.
erals housekeeper, Miss Eleanor
Earle Wilmerding, has an impro-
per influence over him, and has
had for many years. The sons
accusation, however, is more
startling. He AYERS that for 10
years, beginning in 1879, his
father maintained improper re-
lations with a New York social
woman and present religious
worker, whose name, for obvious
