HISTORY BUILDERS.
Two cobbIers Who Made Themselves
Famous.
BY DIR. =. J. EDWARDS.

BY DR. y. d ED"AHDS.
written Expressly for Ths Herald.J
The late Noah Davis. who was for
many years = Judge Of the New York
State Supreme Court, and who before
his election TO the bench served In Con-
gress and also as United States district
attorney for the Southern district Of
New York. was for some thirty years a
distinguished citizen Of the Empire State
He gained national prominence as the
Judge who tried William NJ. Tweed. He
was an intimate, personal as well as
professional friend OF the late Judge
Daniels, who served for many years
upon the Supreme Court bench in New
York and who, after his retirement on
account Of the age limitations OF sew
enty years, was elected as Representa-
tive in Congress Of one OF the Buffalo
districts.
At the time OF that election. had a
good opportunity TO talk with Judge
Davis about Judge Daniels. Judge Davis
became enthusiastic over the extraordI-
nary career OF his friend
i have often thought that there was
a marked similarity between the early
careers OF Henry Wilson, United States
Senator from Massachusetts, and after
ward Vice President under Grant, and
that Of Judge Daniels" he said.
Both OF these men. who had gained
great distinction, were born in obscurity.
Daniels in absolute poverty. Wilson
picked up the shOemaker's trade and
while he was cobbling at the bench at
Natick, Mass, he was reading every
thing he could secure which told the his
tory OF the United States or gave the
biographies OF some Of our great men.
Daniels was befriended by a kind
hearted shoemaker. who lived in the
lower part of New York City. The boy
really had no home and the shoemaker
took him in. He learned his trade. and
when he was about OF age he packed his
kit and started to walk from New York
TO Buffalo. for he thought he would have
a better opportunity 10 gain a living In
that city than in New York. While on
his way to Buffalo, he stopped for a day
or two at Geneva and wandered into the
courthouse. l must have been there at
about that time. although, OF course, I
have no recollection of the young man.
He was completely absorbed in listening
to the crOss-examination OF witnesses

War Time Shipping.

That shipping at this port has not suffered more
than it has because of the war in Europe is, OF
course, due to the one-sded situation on the sea.

The Filibuster.

There is no party which has profted by a filibus-
ter more than the Democratic party 1t was the
flibuster led by Arthur P. German which defeated
the Force bill and caused such division in the Re-
publican party that Grover Cleveland was elected
Had the Force bill been passed Cleveland probably
would have failed of election in 1892. Much of the
South would have been counted" Republican
Democratic criticism of the flibuster now being
carried on by the Republicans to help save the Demo-
cratic Treasury should not be harsh or frenzicd
The shoe is on the other foot!
But ii is always the way of the politician He
condemns in others, whenever the opportunity af-
fords, what she himself has done or what he would
do. Underwoodism in the House is as powerful as
Cannonism ever was There is only difference
in name

Revenge ON Dr.. Osler.

The pert paragraphers must be getting ready
their ammunition fori Dr. William osler. Only
few years back the distinguished physician an
nounced that at sixty man had reached the proper
age for chIoroform, his usefulness had ended, and
he should be relegated to the scrap heap The doc
tors words were taken up and for months after the
newspapers of not only this country but the world
were discussing seriously and iippantly the views
attributed to the modern Aesculapius.
The great war in Europe is proving the contrary
of the Osler theory The men who are directing the
millions facing each other in Europe practically
without exception old men in the Oser sense
Alexander conquered the world at twenty-one-
Our own Grant, Meade, StonewaIl Jackson McClel-
Ian and Sherman were under fifty. Abroad youth
finds no place except cog in the fighting ma
chine-a thing to be shot at The army registers OF
the foreign nations tell their own story. Sir John
French is sixty-two. Gems Joffre and Pau soon will
have passed three score and ten" On the side of
the German forces is Won Kluk at sixty-eight; Won
Emmich and Won Moltke, sxty-six. Rarely does a
name come over the cables that bears the stamp OF
youth.
The war differs from all others not only in its
horror and casualty lists but in the fact that the
are placing their dependence on the rpened wisdom
of age All orders come from them. The wireless,
the telephone and the telegraph keep each in touch
with every regiment Every foot of ground gained
or lost is reported to a point miles distant The
two huge fighting machines controlled practically
by two men whose brains, instead of swords, are
pitted against each other. Not only this but the
troops in the field must contain larger proportion
of matured men than before, because in at least
Germany and France every able-bodied man is at
the 'front.' and it may be that England soon will be
forced to call upon all of her citizens irrespective
of age
Some wonderful figure may be developed by the
war; he may be young man, but he is not yet visi-
bic on the bloody Eastern horizon.
In the meantime the old man. if it were not too
serious to laugh about, might well have his joke at
DR.. Osler's expense

Women in Chicago Primaries.

Last spring. Cook County, ILL.,, women cast I64o26
votes at the polls
Last week, Cook County, ILL.,, women cast approx
mately 5000 votes at the primaries.
Miss Joanna Downes president of the Illinois
Womens Democratic League, wishes she could ex-
plain the lack of interest, but she can't Mrs Grace
Wilbur Trout, president of the Illinois Equal Suf-
frage Association, believes that nonpartsanshp is
the explanation Mrs Paul Gerhardt is of the same
opinion. The women" says Mrs. Gerhardt like to
wait and what candidate is put up to run before
they declare themselves"
If that is the true explanation, it reveals the
women of Chicago and Cook County as escaping the
duty of helping put up good candidates.
The real explanation doubtless, is that the women
took little part in the primaries because they had
little interest therein.-Buffalo Enquirer.

Fifty years ago today the Confederate
army, under Gen. Jubal A. Early, which.
on retreating from Winchester, where II
was defeated on September l9. had in
trenched itself at Fishers Hill, twenty
miles TO the south. was attacked In flank
by Federals under Gen. 7. II. Sheridan
and driven in confusion from the field
The engagement has been described as
one Of the most brilliant battles OF Sheri-
dams valley campaign. II was in fact
short. sharp driving Of an inferior
force by one whose strength was supe-
rior in proportion Of three TO one. Its
brilliancy lay in the plan Of Gen. Shert-
dan and the manner in which Its main
feature was carried out to effect sur
prise of the enemy.
Gen Early had taken a position on a
strong ridge OF hills across the Shenan-
doah Valley. hisy right resting on the
Shenandoah at Fishers Hill. his left on
the range OF North Mountain. The Con-
fcderate strength was less than 5000 men
OF all arms That OF the Federals, in
cluding cavalry. was not less than $4,000
Gen Sheridan had sent part Of his cav
airy. under Gen. A. T. A. Torbert, his
chief of cavalry. up the Luray Valley
tC the east. hoping 10 cut of Gen. Early 6
retreat, but a smaller force Of Confeder-
ate cavalry was holding the Federal
troopers in check. Their successful
stand ultimately saved Gen. Early
army from capture.
While thus attempting to turn Gen
Early's right flank and cut him OF from
retreat, Gen. Sheridan had put on foot
a movement that constituted the salient
feature OF the days operations.
This was the sending OF the Army OF
West Virginia, under Gen. George Crook
10 climb along the bold east face OF the
North Mountain Range and gain tht
rear Of the left end OF the Confederate
line.
Crook Climbs n Mountain.
Gen. Crooks command was composed
largely of West Virginia men. to whom
mountain climbing was familiar work

As the whole field of operations be-

Crooks army to remain under cover

CHAPTER XIV.
BY the Sun-DIaI.

Eyes arched with fan.shlelded whis.
pers, and fair faces. foreshortened as
they turned back over powder.white
shoulders, followed their swallow-like
movement. From an overwhelming
circle OF masculine devotees Katharine
Fargo watched them with a smile that
cloaked an increasing and unwelcome
question.
Katharine had never looked more
handsome; a critical survey OF her
mirror at GLADDEN. Hall had assured
her of that. Never bad her poise been
more superb, her toilet more enraptur-
ing. She was exquisltely gowned in
rose-colored mousseline-de-soie. en-
broidered in tiny brilliants laid on in
Greek patterns. From her neck. in a
single splendid loop Of iridescence
against the rosy mist, depended those
fabulous pearls-'the kind you sim
ply can't believe" as Betty Page con-
hded to her partner-on whose news.
paper reproduction (%actual diameter)
metropolitan s%hop-girls had been wont
to gaze with glistening eyes; and with
In their milky c%irclet. on her rounded
breast, trembled three pale g~old-veined
orchids.
Watching that quadrille through her
dropping emerald-tinted eyes. she had
received a sudden cnlightening impress
sion OF Shirley's fiawless beauty. At
the tournament her fieeting glimpse
had adjudged the other merely sweetly
pretty. The Chalmers surrey had
stopped en- route for Shirley, but in
her wraps and veil she had then been
au but invisible. This had been Kath.
arine's first adequate view, and the
sight OF her radiant charm had the
effect almost of a blow.
For Katharine, be It said, had wholly
surrendered to the old, yet Few, at
traction that had swept her on the
tourney field. And what had lain al
ways In the back Of her mind as a half.
formed intention, had become a self.
admitted purpose during the motor
ride.
In another moment the waltz tainted
out, to be succeeded by a duex-temps,
and presently the host, In his crimson
cloak, was dofing his plumed hat be-
fore her. Circling the polished floor
in the maze. there was something
gratefully like former days In the as
sured touch. the true and ready guild
ance. The intrusive question faded.
He was the John Valiant she had al
way known. OF flashing repartee and
graceful compliment, yet with a touch
Of dignity, too-as befitted the lord
of a manor-which sat well upon him.
After a decorous dozen Of rounds. she
took his arm and allowed her perfect
