Who: Fought Battles for the Union. eos SOME OF THE VISIFING VETERANS Commanders of Encampments of the U. V. L. DISTINGUISHED SOLDIERS ‘The members of the Union Veteran Legion “¥isfitig Washington to attend the annual encampment include many who are distin- guished for their services to the order and who have enviable records as soldiers of the Union. Below will be found sketches of some of the notable visitors: Col. C. F. Dupre. Encampment No. 75, U. V. L., of Louts- ville, Ky., was organized October 1, 1990, with a membership of forty-two comrades. C.F: Dupre was its first colonel, and really its organizer. As a commanéer he has few equals and no superiors. He had before the war broke out the finest company in oa jquard—“The National Grays.” mn eials duking out of the war one-haif of his company ‘went south, the remainder re-/ maining true to the government. He entered the 4th- Kentucky Cavalry, refusing any higher office than orderly sergeant, al- though ‘he drilled the entire regiment and instructed the colonel and his staff in their duties. Col. Dupre was elected colonel of Encar-pment No. 7% three times. He was succeeded by Col. John D. Fowler, also ot the Army of the Cumberland, 6th Kentucky Cavairy- wav Col, Clark. Comrade Clark was born in New Wil- mingtcn, Pa., March 25, 1843. His mother was a daughter of Maj. Scott, a cousin of Gen, Winfield Scott.

He first held the office of ‘ctaplaf aid was then elected colonel, and again, under protest, unanimously nomi- nated and re-elected, and is now the com- manding 6fficer of Encampment No. 75. His military record is brief. He organized @ company and was elected captain. When Buckner invaded the state, with a portion of‘ Mis ‘command ~ he joined Ward and Hobson at Greensburg, Ky., was select- ed to go\out on+@ seout-at 4 p.m, sworn in at 10’a.m., October 10, 1861. ttack in Kentucky against the confeder- ates, where blood’ was shed, he stopped eight balls, being terribly wounded in both thighs, left hip and right shoulder. He has carried four of those balls and an open wound ever since. Col. J. P. J. DeBeck. Encampment No. 123, U. V. L.,was organ- ized March 23, 1893, in Cumminsville, a sub- urb of Cincinnati, Ohio, by S. V. Nat.

Foster of Wilmington, Del. was born at North East, Md, May 7, 1842. In 1861 he enltsted in Company A of the 5th Maryland. For the first‘nine months of service Comrade Foster was third and then second sergean:, and first sergeant during the remaining four years. He re- ceived two commissions, but would not be mustered out of his ow company. He par- ticipated in’ all the ‘batties, marches and fatigues of his regiment.:for three con- tinuous years of active seryice at the front, in old Virginia and West. Virginia, never absent, except while on veteran furlough. He was mustered out of sefvice With his regiment at Fredéricksburg, Va.

J., October 18, 1894. During her term of office the order exhibited prosperity in many ways. Rev. John Danks, Late Chaplain-in- Chief. There is a vacancy in the office of chap- lain-in-chief, caused by the sudden death of Rev. John Danks July 25 last. He was a Methodist ‘preacher of great ability, sta- tioned at Glenfield, Pa.; a thorough patriot, @ humble Christian and beloved by ail who knew him. He was known as the fighting chaplain, yet he came out of serv- ice as colonel of his regiment and made his record as a soldier. He was widely known as a poet and singer. Col. John M. Paver. John M.

He) Wraduated from @ collegiate course jn 1959, with high hon- ors. At the oufbreak of the war he drilled the first body of volunteers enlisted in the eastern district of Brooklyn, where he then resided, and afterward himself enlist- ed as.a privat® ‘inf the 158th New. York. Upon the arrival of his regiment on the Virginia side of the Potomac, he was war- ranted a sergeant of company G, and ap- pointed right general guide. Thr2e months later he was appointed sergeant major, and thence rapidly to ‘the grades of second lieutenant and first Neutenant. In these he served in the kévetal capacities of acting regimental quartermaster, acting regimen- tal adjutant, post adjutant, commandant of Company C, acting commissary of sub- sistence, provost marshal, and as fember of, examining~boar®tor ‘promotion of offi- cers and enlisted men. Upon the first va- cancy he: was proftioted adjutant; for some time previous to which, and -on:inuously thereafter, he rendered excellent service as aid-de-camp and assistant adjutant general upon brigaile arid division staff. His latest duty was upon the staff of Maj. Gen. Rob- ext 8. Foster, commanding first division, 24th corps. Twice promoted on tHe field and twice brevetted for gallant an4 meri- Ptorious conduct in the Virginia campaigns, he retired, after three years of active field service, in July, 1865, with the rank of major of United States volunteers. “Col. J. R. Homer. Encampment No. 143 was organized and mustered August 19, 1895, by Col. Theo. Jones of Encampment No. 78, Columbus, 2 Ohio. The number of charter “members ts fifty-five.

Gen. Caldwell was one of a party that charged Gen. Mahone’s brigade with sa- bers, capturing thirty-six prisoners, inclvd- Ing three officers. Caldwell seized the col- ors of the 33d North Carolina Infantry and brought them away as his prize. For this action Gen. Meade, then in command of the army, issued a special order, No. 43, com- mending his bravery, and furloughing him for twenty-five days. Later, Congress awarded him a medal of honor, which was presented him, in the field. Caldwell had the honor of hoisting the national colors on the state buildings at Raleigh, N. C., being the last state capital of the confederacy to be taken. Col. D. C. McCoy. Encampment No. 147 of Meadville, Pa., is but three months old, and, like any other infant, has a short history. It started with thirty-two charter members, has had some musters since and seems to be in fair- ly healthy cordition and with good pros- pects. ————— * John H. Glick’s Will Filed.

LEFT WITHOUT AN AUDIENCE. How a Joint Discassion at Bowling Green; Va.,“Was Broken Up. Col. William L. Bramhall and Col. H. E. Burton of the McKinley and Hobart Club, by invitation of the chairman of the con- gressional commfttee, Mr. John M. Griffin of Fredericksburg, Va., went to Virginia to speak at a meeting at Bowling Green in Caroline county, Va., last Monday. In Fredericksburg they founda club of re- publicans and democrats, seventy-five strong. The character of the club is such that commands respect of opponents. At Bowling Green they found the chairman of the Bryan. democratic county committee, and the chairman of the gold democrati committee trying. to.arrayge a joint d cussion jn the court house. This was finally done by the chairman of. the republican county committee, Mr. Colman De Jarnette, the McKinley elector in that district. The meeting opened m the court room at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It was presided over by the chairman of the Bryan demo- cratte committee. Mr. Meredith of Rich- mond opened the debaté on behalf of the gold democrats, and spoke for an hour, at- tacking the republican party as well as the Bryan party:'“He-was-followed by Mr. Pol- lard, who spoke for an hour and a half, making a characteristic free silver speech, full of quotations from Webster and other whigs on the money question, as well as from republicans of recent years, and re- ferring to voluminous statistics, eliciting great applause from the audience, most of whom seemed to be pronounced free silver mer. Mr. Pollard contjnually, through his speech, called on the republican who was to follow-him, to answer his several declarations, At the vonchusion of Mr. Pollard’s speech, Mr. Bramhall was introduced to close the debate. The chairman, at this point, an- nounced that he must withdraw to take Mr. Pollard to the’train: After Mr. Bram- hall had spoken five minutes he became aware that every free silver man had left the court room. He then suspended his ar- gument and denounced-the whole proceed- ing as_a political trick and a violation of all principles of honor, and stated that the chairman and all of the audience not in sympathy with republican principles hid left. the court house. He said that if that was a specimen of Virginia chivalry, honor and hospitality, they ought to be ashamed of it. The colored people, out of deference to the, prejudices of a white audience, had not come into the court room, so that the speaker had but a handful of People to address. Still he continued for a few minutes longer, by which time the sil- ver element had set up such a yelling about the court house that it was impossible for him to be heard, and he was obliged to dis- continue. , 4 the meantime, the republicans outside had tried’ to arrange a meeting in the cor- ner of the courtyard, where fifty or more had gathered to seine to Col. Burton. As as he commenced to speak, accordini to Col. Branihail's ‘statement, the silver men rallied around the meeting and Bet up a din that prevented the speaker being heard. Col. Bramhall and Col. Burton then returned to Washington. Col. Bramhall says it was reported by the local republicans that there would be a gain for McKinley in Caroline county. The election of Tyler for Congress is claiined with great confidence. Republitans think it ali depends on having a fair count. In- variably, heretofore, says Col. Bramhall, in the counties where there is a majority of negroes, the democrats have carried them, and in counties where there is a majority e voters, ere have bi \- can majorities. seine sae - Col. BrambaR says he was told that Mc- Caull going to make a large gain in every @unty in his district. Nearly all the democrats. who have deserted their party on account of silver have joined the repub- lican organisation, announcing that they @id so a8 much on the ground of its prin- ‘ciples of protection as for sound money. Mr. Fitzhugh, who is campaigning in Fair- county, states that McKinley and Mc- Caull would gain 600 votes in that county #ione» Republicans assert, also, that Alex- andria city will show a gain of from 400 to 500,-and-the-county of Alexandria about 20. There are also large gains claimed by re- oe Loudoun, Fauquier and Cul- —>—__ The New Diversion. From the Chicago Record. = p> ““Baggagemen are getting so that they yhapdle trunks very carefully.” **¥es; they say they have more fun bang- ing bicycles around.” ——s LITERAL OBEDIENCE. Handicapped by Overweening Mod< esty and a Good Mémory. From the Chicago Record. Sometimes obedience has its faults. ‘There is a Chicago boy who has reached that age when he feels that the whole wide world is looking at him whenever he comes out into the public. He would rather starve to death very slowly.than to eat his dinner in a restaurant, for strange people might see him at his repast, and that would be a horrible thing. He is bashful and backward and wishes he could sink into the carth and SO avoid the responsibility of being seen, felt or heard by other and older persons. This is an age which comeg_to all males of the human species. : This boy’s uncle knew of, cure,for that sort of thing, and he recommended the youngster for a position in @ railroad office and arranged for an interview between the junior kinsman and the employing official in the headquarters. The boy heard with horror that he was to go all alone into the presence of this man and fear ingulfed him and claimed him as its own.- He was earn- estly anxious for employment, but the in- famy of presenting himself before a.strango business man and talking to him was al most too much. He pleaded sadly that he did not know what to say. “Don’t know what to say!” oried the im- patient relative, who, being a drumme knows nothing of the gimidity of growing boys and who is never at loss for languag: “Don’t know what to say, blank it! W say, you idiot, I'm Henry Johnson, dash all, you great ninny—I'm Henry Johnson, who was recommended by Mr. Wilson, dog- sone it. Say something Simple like that and that’s all you'll have to say, blame it all. He'll do the rest of thé talking.” And so with courage screwed tense the timid boy approached the place of slaughter and desperately spoke thus “You idiot! I'm Henry John§on, dash it all, you great ninny. I’m Henry Johnson, who was recommended by Mr. Wilson, dog- gone it. When the boy reported that evening he insisted that he had obeyed instructions to the letter, but that somehow the man at the desk had not been impressed to the extent that one might hope. ———_+e A Hundred Miles an Hour. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. An electrical engineer has been exhfbiting in London the model of his proposed single- rail electric line for speeds of 150 miles an hour. The rail is fixed oh’ a”V-shaped tres- tle, and runs up into the body of the car, which, as it were, runs astride of it. The car runs on twelve bearing wheels, and seats 135 passengers, with space for their baggage. One of the difficiilties mét with in schemes for excessively high speed travel is the tendency of the ear to run off the track. By running the rail within the car the lateral tendency of the train is overcome. But in this late scheme th> great difficulty seems to be the passenger. Vhat would happen to the passenger when the train took a sharp curve while going at 150 miles an hour ig not explained. ———-+e-—_____ “The Blue Danube.” From the London Mail. It was the linen cuff and the quick thought of the woman who wore ft that gave us one of the prettiest of the tuneful Strauss waltzes. Johann Strauss and his wife were one day enjoying a stroll in the park at Schonau, when suddenly the com- poser exclaimed: “My dear, I have a ‘waltz in my head; quick, give me a scrap of paper cr at. old envelope. I must write it down before I forget: it. Alas!, After much rummaging of pockets it was found that neither of them had a letter about them—not even a tradesman's bill. Strauss’ music is considered light, -but it weighed as heavy as Jead on his brain until he could transfer ft ‘to‘paper. His despair was pathetic. At lest a happy thought struck Frau Strauss. She Weld out avsnowy cuff. vase. The composer clutched it ¢agerly, and in two minutes that cuff was manuscript. Its mate followed; still the inspiration whs in- complete. Strauss was frantic, and was about to make a wild dash for home with the third part of hig waltg ringing uncer- tainly in his head—his own linen was limp, colored calico—when suddenly hip yu be- thought herself of her collar, a: in- stant the remaining bars of “The Blue Danube” decorated its surface.
