F._AUSFELT. Dn. Shades. Method |*" The Shade Chloridam Discovery for Consumption. Tested in the District of Cotumbia —A Reasonable Argument. (From the Washington Post.) ‘There was a time in the history of every dis- covery when ridicule, doubt and’ skepticisin re- sulted om its announcement. In fact, it caonot be otherwise, for until the public mind is satis- fied beyond a doubt there is unrest, and it should be so, or true merit could not be awarded. Every great blessing coming to us through the inventive genius of man hax been tested before its usefulness could be a true blessing to mankind. Tmpossibiitics have ylelded to the fertile brain aad hustling aggressivences of the philosopher aud genius. Sargery has made very rapid strides during the past decade. ‘The more monotonous part of sclen- Ufic medicine, however, has seemingly been neglect- ed, especially infectious discases, tubercular con- sumption causing greater mortality than all other diseases. Of all ‘the discoveries for consumption up to the present hour none has stood the test that has crowned Dr. Shade's researches, which re- suited in bis chioridum discovery, and has been tested in the District during the past two or three years. It is a well-known fact that dare not be Ie said that ever thirty persons in Washington, ). C., alon, pronounced hopeless consumptives by family physicians and lung spectalists, have been cured by Dr. N. B. Shade of this city. Among the number are several well-known pby- sicians, “who have also been cured of pulmonary tuberculosis by Dr. Suade’s chioridum treatment. ‘The only argument the prejudiced doctors and their frieods can preduce is that these parties did not have consumption. The only reason they give is that “the persons got well.” If they had all died, as their friends and physicians sald they wold, it would have been all right, but the mere fact that they are living and enjoying life is saffi- cient evidence, they say, that they never had con- sumption. ‘The reason, however, that betwey forty persons were cured of consump thirty and a in Wasi ington, D. ©.

AN OBJECTIVE POINT ———— nr HE CELEBRATION I of the anniversary of the surrender at Ap- Pomattox, held re- cently under the aus- pices of the Depart- ment of thé Potomac, at Grand Army Hall, will be an ever-mem- orable occasion to those who were In at- tendance. The stories that were told were valuable contri- butions to the history of that great event, and the men who recited them were active participants in the drama that reached its culmination on that April day. Major General O. O. Howard was greeted with genuine Yankee shouts when he was introduced. He said it did him good to be there. He wasn’t at Appomattox. He was with western friends in North Carolina, who had come through South Carolina, But they heard of Appomattox down there, and no one could imagine the inspiration of that news. He remembered Sherman's let- ters to Grant. “Roads are heavy and bad down here,” wrote Sherman, “but under the inspiration of your news we can march twenty-five miles a day.” Gen. Howard said Appomattox always suggested to him the real meaning of an objective point. It was part of a soldier's education to understand objective points. ‘There were many in the south. Cairo was an objective point, so were Nashville and Chattanooga, Cumberland Gap and Knox- ville. Thon Richmond was another and great one, but it got into the head of one man that the main objective point to be considered was the Army of Northern Virginla, under Gen. Lee. They had noticed how Grant had made it his sole idea. That was his objective joint. oergen. Robinson, on the platform here,” said Gen. Howard, “was sent in and was knocked to pieces, and so were other brave and earnest and valiant men, but we kept on. Grant continued that course with sin- gular and splendid persistency. ‘We will fight it out on this line if it takes all sum- mer.’ That persistency ended In success, and the offjective point disappeared at Ap- pomattox.” Lee's Last Letter to Grant. Gen. James D. Brady created much enthu- slasm by referring to Gen. Howard in his opening remarks as the Havelock of the American army. Concerning Appomattox, Gen. Brady said he was the Union officer who received the last letter that General Lee wrote to General Grant on the night before the surrender. He had been ordered, with Major Marlin, to take out a few men on the old Richmond stage road, and {t was on that road, about 10:30 o'clock, that he met Major Mason of Fitzhugh Lee's staff, who delivered a letter to him for Gen. Grant. Brady gave it to Marlin, who took it to Gen. Miles, whence it was transferred through Gen. Humphries to Gen. Grant. He said that Major Mason and himself waited there for some time, when Major Marlin brought back a verbal message that Gen. Grant would meet Gen. Lee next day on the other end of the line. Gen. Brady declared that the surrender should have been made to the Army of the Potomac, and to the first division of the second corps, which had been in the lead at Sallors’ creek and in all the fighting before the surrender. Gen. E. W. Whittaker followed Gen. Brady and gave a most valuable contribu- tion to the story of Appomattox. Gen. Whittaker had the honor of receiving the flag of truce that was sent into the Union lines by Gen. Lee, and he told his story of that episode and what followed in a simple and graphic manner, Capt. S. R. Stratton spoke the theme “Daybreak at Appo- Mattox. A Live Adjutant General. Commander McElroy came forward and said every man in the army had heard on frequent occasions of that awful, terrible personage known as the adjutant general. Even great commanders bowed in humility at the sound of the very name of adjutant general, and a good many soldiers who had never seen a live adjutant general probably thought that it was some mon- strous being of fearful aspect. If there Were any such present he wished to dis- abuse their minds of such ideas by intro- ducing to them no less a personage than the adjutant general of the United States army. At this Gen. Ruggles stepped for- ward and said that he had not prepared a formal address, but would gladly give his recollections of Appomattox. Appomattox, he said, with great sigmificance, was Grant. He had known Grant for seven years before Appomattox. He was sta- tioned out in Minnesota, and among the officers out there who had served in Mexico and never tired of talking about the campaigns in that war. were Alf Sully and Fred Steele. They never spoke of Mexico, he continued, without speaking of Sam Grant, and when the occasion came for him to be ordered down to St. Louis they con- gratulated him upon the trip and cheered him with the information, “Now you'll meet Sain Grant.” On reaching St. Louis, Gen. Ruggles said, he did meet Sam Grant. He had resigned from the army and a hard fate had over- taken him. He had a little place outside of St. Louis, and he used to bring loads of wood that he cut himself into the city. He remembered him well as he first saw him. He was short, with a stubby beard, dressed in coarse gray clothes and wearing cowhide shoes. He was sitting sideways on a load of wood, and the harness that was on the horse attached to the load was tied up with string and cord. Grant in those days would bring this wood into St. Louis and stand in the market place until it was sold, and then buy some coffee and sugar and such previsiors and take them back out to his humble home. In those days, said Gen. Ruggles, Grant had not five cents to buy a newspaper, and seemed to know nothing of the coun- tey’s affairs. “When we met I would in- vite him in to take a little refreshment that we soldiers sometimes favor, or ask him to have a cigar. But he never accepted the compliment because he knew that he could not return it in turn. When I d to°meet him he would talk of Alf Sully and Fred Steele. Those men and a few words abotit Mexico were apparently his sole stock of conversation. Shortly after this he moved up to Galena, TIl., and on one oc- casion business took me over there. Grant. oe to me about Alf Sully and Fred Steele. _ Grant at City Point. “tt was ordered to Washington from the west.-The war nad broken out and in course of time I was assigned to duty as the adjutant general of the Army of the Poto- mac.-I went down to City Point, and Grant was there. His cabin was pointed sout*to”me, and I knocked at the door. ‘Come in,’ said a voice, and I entered to see ‘ man Sitting at a table with his hand go- ing Uke Hghtning. ‘Hullo,’ he said, putting his hand into his vest and then extending itto me, ‘Take a cigar. I am writing some ‘dispatches to Sherman.’ I accepted the smoke and I looked at Grant, and I thought to myself that those dispatches would be carefully revised and gone over by the ad- jutant gencral before they were sent out. He concluded his writing in a short time, called an orderly, handed him the dis- Patches, and then commenced to talk about Alf Sully and Fred Stecle.”” Gen. Ruggles then sketched the advance |. on the Army of Northern Virginia and the persistence with which Grant hammered away at Lee. He created much enthusiasm by declaring that the famous orders of the 20th of March, 1865, were all in the hand- writing of Gen. Grant himself, Sccupsing four pages of letter paper, and that there was not an interlineation or an elision in a line or a sentence. Why Meade Was Absent. Coming down to the day of the gurrender, Gen. Ruggles said that it was a matter of frequent remark that Meade was not present at the McLean Rouse when Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant. He said the reason for it was that Gen. Meade was ill unto the point of sooth, fue night before and the morning of the si nder, but that if he and tho others had pelieved that the importance of the day was so great they would have carried Meade there in their arms to be present at the-culmination of the history of the Army of the Potomac. “But after the surrender,” said Gen. Rug- gles, “we insisted that he should mount a horse and show himself to his conquering soldiers. He complained that he could not sit upon a saddle, but we told him we would support him, so, with Gen. Andy Webb on one side and I on the other, Gen. Meade, tottering in his Bett Started out to see his troops. As his weilttnown form ap- peared a yell went up, and Meade straight- ened like a man transformed. His figure Lecame erect, his eyes flashed, and with Lis hand on the 1@n he led us and the staff all through that glorious army.” At this pene in Gen. Ruggles’ remarks his hearers lost all restraint and yelled and pounded for five minutes, and the same enthusiasm raged when he concluded with a few §raphic sentences about the scenes at the Mc: na house. Gen. Morgan's Happy Remarks, . Brigadier General M. R. Morgan, commis- sary general of the United States army,was introduced in a happy speech by Com- mander McElrcy as a man who had a re- markable capacity for feeding other men. Gen. Morgan said he was with Grant a: his chief commissary for a long time, and he was with him at Appomattox Court House when he was preparing the terms of the surrender, which, by the way, he sald, were prepared by Eli S. Parker, an Indian chief, whose death was chronicled a short time ago. He had been with Grant at City Point in 1864, when the latter wanted to go up into the valley and see Sheridan. “I went with him,” said Gen. Morgan, “and while up there the news came that Hampton had waded in and carried off our beet herd, consisting of 2,600 head of the finest cattle that ever put hoof to graas, for you know those armies were well fed and lived on the best that the market af- forded. Well, when that news came Grant groaned, and I groaned in sympathy, for, of course, I was his chief commissary. There was a man named Stanton in Wash- ington, who occupied the position of Secre- tary of War, and he was a man of pretty quick action. Stanton telegraphed to Grant, ‘Who is responsible for the loss of that beef herd?’ Grant telegraphed back, ‘I ara.’ That ended it. Grant's eloquence,” ejaculated Gen. Morgan, “consisted of ac- tio “When we got back to City Point,” he continued, “Grant sald one day, in the pres- ence of myself and a lot of others, that he regarded me as the best commissary in the world. I asked how so, and he replied that I rot only fed his army, but the enemy's as well. Gen. Mergan continving, safd that he was at Appomattox, and present in the room where the very table was that so many different pecple n¢w have in their posses- sion. Seth Williams had gone into the room with him, and there were a whole lot of Union fellows in there, while Gen. Lee was accompanied by Col. Marshall. “As I went in,” said Gen. Morgan, “I greeted Gen. Lee, saying, ‘How are you, general?” I had served under Lee at Har- per’s Ferry in the John Brown raid, and I had also been at West Point when Lee was the commancant there. While the prelimi- naries were being arranged, I went over to the side of the room and emoked my plpe, and now, when I kear so many people in- dulging in self-congratulation over owning the identical inkstand and the specific pen which were used on that oceasion, I raise my trusty pipe aloft and proudly exclaim, ‘This is the pipe I smoked when Lee sur- rendered tc Grant!’ F “Gen. Lee, after the surrender, asked Gen. Grant if the latter could feed his army. Grant turned to mo and inquired, ‘Colonel, can you feed Gen. Lee's army? I asked Gen. Lee how many men he had. He said that he could not tell; that the div: ions were scattered, and that scacely a compaiy had a commissicned officer at the head of it. 1 asked him If 25,000 men would be about the figure, and he. said yes, say 25,000 men, and the thing was done.” Gen. Morgan described in a pleasing man- ner the growth of the fraternal feeling that began Immediately after the surrender, and spoke of meeting Gen. Heath of the con- federate army, who had fyeen a comrade of his in the United States service. , “While we were tWiking,” -he ‘said, ‘‘an- other man came in end-said: ‘Well, gen- eral, we i:cked yer, djdn't. we? That was a pretty uncalled-for remark just: then, but Heath said: ‘Yes; you licked us." Then our man said, ‘that's all Nght, no hafa feelings; come on, let's take a drink,’ and they drank.” ——— Written for The Evening Star, In Dreama, In dreams T revisit the scenes of my youth, When friendsb:p meant fricudship, avd trath meant truth; Vhen tearts wore wide open, and knowing no guile, And Ife flowed as broad and as deep ax the Nile; When “Jebnry” and ‘Charlie’ and “Billy” and Bon"?

JOHN A. JOYCE. ge Me Couldn’t Stand It. From the Chicago Tribune. Johnny had been permitted to take a look at his new sister. “They ull say she looks exactly like you, dear,” said his father. Johnny took another look at the little flat-nosed, red-faced, bald-headed mite of humanity that lay blinking at him, and then he went out and deliberately picked a fight with a boy four years older than himself and. thrashed him. It was more than he could stand. ' —s0+. Sixty-Eight Married at One Time.

At a recent ceremony of this kind thirty-four couples were married simultaneously. All the brides and bridesgrooms, wearing the Bre- ton costume, walked in procession througa the town, followed by their fathers, moth- ers, brothers, sisters and other relatives.

Just such a message of manifold voices as this, which has thrilled and awed New England with the marvel of the discovery and the majesty of the skill that produced it, will come from the homes of the people of Washington.” That message is even now only be- gun, but in this beginning let this lesson first be taught— To the superb skill for which this testimony is tribute, only the most perfect Truth is kin. No color of exaggeration, no false light of untruth involves the words of these grateful witnesses to Doctor McCoy’s power over disease. They testify to a skill in whose behalf no lie was ever spoken. They testify to triumphs over sickness which the color of exaggeration would dim, not glorify.
