GEN. SHERIDAN'S WILD RIDE
Return Trip From Winchester to Cedar Creek Described by Vet
 eran-SoIdiers Asleep.

Gen. Philip Sheridan's famous ride from Winchester, Pa., to the battle line at Cedar Creek, Va, was not one of twenty miles, as the poet has it, but of seventeen and fraction miles. according to Charles B. Thomas, 4226 Cottage Grove avenue, who followed the returning general along the valley pike for a distance of five miles. MT. Thomas had enlisted in the Fifth New York cavalry and at the time of the ride was in one of the divisions under General Sheridan's command
 T was at Newtown,' he said in tell ing the story, 'in company with a commissary sergeant. We had been ordered out on special duty, and we had been separated from the rest of the cavalry. The line of battle was at Cedar Creek, about five miles from Newtown. Winchester vas farther along the pike in the other direction.

a little less than eighteen miles from the line. It was at Winchester that General Sheridan, returning from Washington, learned that in his ab- sence there had been an attack by the Confederates and that the battle was going on. It is not true that at Winchester he came upon men re- treating from the battle ground. He met the first of them about eight miles farther on.
 Tt is not true, either, that the greater part of the soldiers had been routed. The Eighth corps had been surprised and fired out of their beds. They had had no chance to fight, and had retreated. They had been put out of service, and they got out of the way as fast as they could. Some of them were only half dressed. This was one corps. After they had fallen back, the Nineteenth corps had stopped the men and sent them back toward Cedar Creek, and they were doing this when General Sheridan passed along the pike. The Sixth corps held the line unshaken.
 'The sergeant and I were grazing our horses in a side street of New town when We heard cheering in the distance toward Winchester. I told the sergeant that I was going to mount and so down to the pike and see what was happening, and just as got there along came General Sberi- dan on his big black horse, Rienzi There was one orderly riding behind him. He had outdistanced everybody else. We fell in behind and followed for five miles and were close behind when General Sheridan reached the line.
 "All the way was along the pike I believe that General Sheridan says in his memoirs that he left the road before he reached Newtown and rode across country. I believe that in the excitement of the day he must have forgotten the way he really had come If he left the pike he came back to it before he reached Newtown, because he was travelling the road in the cen ter of town when he passed us He did not ride over rail fences, as his tories say. By that time the rail fencas had all been burned in camp fires, and the only stone wall he had to pass had been preached for the passage of supply wagons. Struggling along the road behind him for miles were the men who had turned back to follow him as they saw him pass or who had been met by the soldiers of the Nineteenth corps.
 q remember the scene as we came up to the line of battle. The men were lying on their faces, most of them asleep. AS we approached, one soldier rolled over and raised himself on his elbow. He saw the general and he leaped to his feet and cried out: General Sheridan is here The men around him awoke and caught up the cry, and the cheering swept along the line. farther and farther away and growing fainter until it died fin the distance"

Putting 1t Across.
From the Boston Globe.

FROM the Boston slopc.
No one knows where they all come from
those newly coined words, phrases, eN-
pressons that trickle almost daily into
the well of English undeiled and keep it
from stagnating. Fortunately. language
is living growing. changing thing. IL
is too swift for grammars and rhetorics.
1t runs away from dictionaries. 4 thor
oughly up-to-date dictionary of slang
would have to get out new edition
every week in order to be complete.
Because there is no such dictionary and
because the more sober and sedate pub
locations that 60 under the name usually
wait several years after a new word or
phrase has taken root in the language
before they deign to notice IL, are suf-
ficient reasons why idioms that appear
to have gained a foothold should be duly
recorded I'm the newspapers.
Such a phrase is putting ii across.
with its many variations of putting IL
over, putting il over on one, com
ing across with it," with their nice shades
of meaning. Did the expression originate
with some skeptical barkeeper who befor.
setting out the bottle to seedy-iooking
customer remarked, well, come across
with the coin? Or is ii foot ball term.
referring TO putting the pigskin across
or over the goal?
1t matters not The phrase IS becom-
ing respectable. regardless of its pater-
nifty. But putting it over and putting
ii over on one are two entirely differ
ent things. For instance, Mr. Taft's friends
put him over at Chicago, but In doing
SO they put one over on Mr.. Roosevelt
I'm other words. they handed him one"
So the language is continually enlarged
and enriched. IL not always embellished.
Has Esperanto the necessary facilities
and conyeniences for coming slang? If
not, it lacks one OF the prime requisites
Of an interesting language.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. August 24.-The cotton
market was very quiet today and fiuctu-
atoms were narrow. with the close
steady, net one point higher to one point
lower.
The opening was steady. at an advance
of two to four points. in sympathy with
higher Liverpool cables, but the market
quickly eased off under a little southern
selling or local pressure. Reports of ia
vorable weather over the greater part of
the belt, numerous private advices indi-
eating good progress for the new crop
and large estimates of the Egyptian
yield all figured in the arguments of
sellers, but offerings were very we'll taken
at the decline. and the market later
steadied up on covering for over the
week end, or trade buying. The lack
of more general business was attributed
by local traders to a disposition to await
the private condition reports which are
expected next week, and which are
thought likely to determine final senti-
ment as to the showing Of the official
figures due shortly after the reopening
of the market following the Labor Day
adjournment. Private cables attributed
the steadiness of Liverpool to a continued
active trade in Manchester.
Cotton-Spot closed quiet: middling up
