TALES TERSELY TOLD Anecdote and Incident Mingle To- gether in This Column. ROSECRANS WANTED NO GUESSWORK Some Southern Jokers Who Found the Laugh on Themselves. FAD OF A WASHINGTONIAN ‘The recent death of General W. 8. Rose- ¢rans has brought out a fund of stories about that picturesque old warrior. “In the early part of the war,” said a former Ohioan yesterday, “I was @ private fm General Rosecrans’ (he was then colonel) regiment. How well do I remember the first time I saw him, and what a fine-look- ing man [I thought he was. “There is one little incident in my life of a soldier with him that I shall never forget. I was ‘then only a big, good-na- tured boy, who had never penetrated be- yond the confines of my father’s farm, and what I didn’t know about soldier life would have provided material for volumes enough Yo fill several good-sized circulating libra- ties. “I had been told by comrades what a ind man Colonel Rosecrans was, and I learned to know the truth of that proposi- tion later on. However, the little incident I am about to relate might have easily im- essed one differentiy—I mean one of a nsitive nature. It occurred the first night was on picket duty. This was something intirely new to me, and I well remember he thoughts that came into mind as I walked back and forth in the darkness with a heavy musket on my shoulder. “Pretty soon I saw the form of a big man, whom I recognized as Col. Rosecrans, coming toward@me. I saluted him, and he acknowledged my military deference. I was awfully glad to see some one other than cne of the enemy, yet I quaked in the presence of so great a man as a col- onel. “‘How is everything along the picket guard tonight? he asked in a voice that suggested the true military chieftain that he soon to be. “ “All right, I guess,” was my reply in a subdued tone. You guess? he demanded. * £ "t you knew?’ almost fell through myself, so scared I. For weeks every time I saw him coming I avoided meeting him. Later I appreciated that war was not the place ‘swork. That experience was a val- uable lesson to me. I saon came to know Colonel Rosecrans intimately apd we were ever afterward the warmest friends.” An erstwhile resident of Charleston, 8. C., Who holds a position in the Post Office De- Partment and who has more than a local Feputation as a raconteur of ante-bellum stories is responsible for this: “Before the war,” he said to a Star re- porter, while in’ a reminiscent mood, “the ‘Goudines were among the best known and most aristocratic families of Charleston, and I might add that their Progeny still maintain a high position among the elite of that charming and aris- tocratie old southern city. “There were two brothers—Robert and ‘Theodore—the latter a well-known divine, the former a wealthy manufacturer and owaer of cotton lands. Robert had a repu- tation as a connoisseur of liquors and wines which extended throughout the south @nd to New York and other northern cities, whither he was called frequently because of business. “So acute was Goudine’s taste that it was generally conceded among hjs friends in the aristocratic class in Charleston that it would be a hard task to ‘fool him. Fre- quently, however, attempts were made by friends, who usually became the butts of their own intended jokes. “A couple of years before the war the Cecelia Club, the swell social organization of Charleston, held a reception, which was @ lavish affair. Drinkables of the rarest vintage were ordered. The committee hav- Ing charge of the function resolved to make one herculean effort to fool Goudine. Now, his favorite wine was sherry. Across the street from the Cecelia Club was a small Grocery store, and here the committee re- Paired to select what should be a cheap grade of wine for their friend. “On one of the shelves of the grocery the proprietor pointed to a dozen or more bottles of sherry without labels, which he said he would sell for twenty cents a bot- tle. The committee purchased a bottle for the joke that was to be played that night on Goudine. “At the banquet table Goudine was watched closely. The wine was served in decanters. Goudine drank from his de- canter frequently and smacked his lips in @ manner that suggested complete satis- fection. Finally his decanter was emptied and he called for more. One of the com- mittee, intent In carrying out the joke to the extreme, excused himself from the table upon some pretended cause and skir- mished across the street for another bot- Ue of the twenty-cent wine. Goudine drank from the replenished decanter with eat relish and to the subdued astonish- mt of those who were perpetrating the fude joke. “After the dinner one of the committee [mn ae Ce the wine. “ ‘First-class; a very rare vintage,’ Gou- @ine replied. “Then you liked it? asked the commit- teeman, who pinched himself to repress bis laughter. “Very much, indeed. I never partook of that same quality of wine byt once in my life,” and he went on to tell that it was oh @ certain occasion when he was dined by one of the wealthiest gentlemen of Charies- (giving his name), who was known to we perhaps the most lavish wine cellar in Charleston. “The committeeman congratulated him- Self that the joke was complete. “What would you be willing to give for SB quantity of wine just like that?” he asked, “‘I would readily give $15 per case of twelve bottles, and I don't know but more tkan that,” replied Goudine. “Well, will you give that price if the wine is the same?” the committeeman persisted. “ ‘I most certainly will, but I know you €an't produce any, for all there is in this country of that vintage and quality is own- ga by one man,’ mentioning the one who had previously dined him. + “Then came the climax for the joke. The committeeman made an appointment to meet him at the grocery store across the street at a certain hour the next day. ‘When Goudine showed up he found all the members of the committee and some other friends who had been invited to enjoy the huge joke. “The grocer brought down a bottle of the wine and tt was opened for Goudine to sample. The instant he tasted it he pro- Mounced it the same article, and he ex- great pleasure that he had been an opportunity of securing a forded dine’ took anoth | <= wine, and, turning to the Srocer, i-Where did you get this wine?’ ¢ grocer replied that he had bought from some colored men, who wanted to it rid cf it: They had brought it to him ithout labels on the bottles, and he had paid, he believed, ten cents a “Goudine turned to “The Cecelia Club committeemen did ve the laughter that was ee the story merely to cite an instance of man whose acuteness of taste precluded possibility of his being fooled.” People are aware of the fact office in Min- “How many that the surveyor general's b pay om me oa ao United States?” gentleman from the state , talking to @ Star re; file at the state house at St. at Marietta, Ohio, in 1797. : “As the lands became disposed of and the territory became partitioned «ff the office was moved gradually westward, halt- ing a brief space at this and that place, until ft rsached a final resting place, many years ago, at St. Paul. And there all the records are now kept. “These records are interesting, especially to antiquirians, covering, es they do, the history of land transactions in the country for more than 100 years. Among them are autograph letters from Weshington and Jefferson and other Presidents, all showing the quaint official phraseology of that by- gone day. “There is also arrong the records the first surveyor’s chain used in the west. With this old chain, preserved in the office at St. Paul, is a personal letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, under whose jurisdiction the office was then, expressing the belfef that ‘it was a good chain, indeed, as the maker bad aesured him to that effect.” “The people of Minnesota, particularly of St. Paul, are indeed proud of these val- uable archives.” “Did you notice that fine-looking, old gentleman who came in a few minutes ago and who just went out?” The questioner was one of half a dozen well-dressed men who sat in the cafe of a down-town hotel the other night, and he was addressing those about him. ‘Two or three of his listeners admitted that they had seen the old man at different times, but did not know his name, and had never seen anything in his actions to at- Tract their attention. “Wel, that old man is a character,” the spokesman of the party continued. “His name is H—, and he owns a good bit of real estate in Washington, besides having in- terests in street railroads in other cities. The story I am going to teil is one that you may be inclined to dibelieve; nevertheless,I declare to you that is ab- solutely true. “For many years he was a steady drink- er. I don’t mean one who gets maudlin. But he took his toddy with a regularity and pertinacity, which, if confined to busi- ness pursuits, would make many a man enormously successful. A little more than two years ago he had a spell of sickness. His physician told him that if he wanted to live, he must give up his grog. “After his recovery it was a long time be- fore he would reconcile himself to a life of abstemiousness. He would go into the cafe twice a day regularly and each time order his favorite beverage. When it was placed before him he would look at it wistfully for a moment, then pay for it and walk out. “Now comes what you will likely con- sider the most absurd part of my story, but, upon my honor, it is the truth. He has kept up that practice to this day. He just did the same thing. And it is a fact that very few know of this little idiosyn- cracy of his. No one would notice him, un- less directed, for it is not an uncommon thing for a man to leave in the glass much of what is put before him. He is indeed a character.” The listeners to this story questioned the veracity of the one who related it, and he was equally positive that he was tell- ing what was true. SOME MUSICAL NOTES Miss Anita Cluss of New York, formerly of Washington, an exceedingly popular professional harpist, endowed with more than ordinary natural talent, will visit Washington next Thursday to give a com- plimentary harp recital at the Columbia Athletic Club, under the auspices of the members of the club, who are issuing invi- tations. Miss Cluss’ excellent harp playing is well known to Washingten audiences, so that this event promises to be a treat to her friends and other admirers of the harp. Her rare accomplishment and charming presence place her favorably with the emi- nent harpists of the present time. Her tone is beautiful and sympathetic, and her technique is faultless. Besides haying given many very credit- able harp recitals in numerous cittes, she is also an exceptionally fine orchestra player, and surprises all by her excellent tone and musicianly reading. Miss Cluss has played the harp with such artists as Mme. Sara Bernhardt, Mr. Richard Mansfield, the Madame Nordica Operatic Concert Company, the Minnie Hauck Opera Company, Symphony Orches- tra Company and in numerous New York and other theaters. Miss Cluss is unquestionably the most versatile harpist now before the public, and jn addition to her classical appearances she has also played with great success, often gaining double encores, at some of the best vaudeville theaters in this country. Miss Cluss is the happy possessor of sev- eral handsome harps. She will play upon her favorite instrument, a beautiful con- cert grand harp, costing over $2,000, and built by special order for her in Chicago. Invitations have been issued to a piano recital to be given by the puplis of Dr. Anton Glhetzner next Thursday evening, pril 21, at the Universalist Church. Among other numbers there will be the concerto by Moscheles, a concerto and rondo in E flat by Mendelssohn. The Easter program of music at the Church of St. Michael's and All Angels will be repeated tomorrow. The music was Particularly well rendered and great cred- it is due the choir. Mrs. F. A. Gardner will sing the offertory in the morning, and Mr. Melville D. Hensey at night. The choir will again be assisted by an orchestra of string instruments under Prof. Arthur Yundt. The entire music service is under the direction of the choirmaster, Mr. Edw. O. Asmussen.

These monthly recitals have contributed greatly to the success of the school and the ad- vancement of its pupils. Prof. Lioyd Re- menyl, violinist, director of the violin class, will assist with his pupils. Miss May Myr- tis Clemons will be heard in recitations and the Columbia Singing Club will sing two numbers. The Damrosch Society announces {ts an- nual concert on May 4 at the Columbia. Musical Director Varela has his forces in splendid trim, and the well-won reputation of this organization will be fully sustained. To assist on this occasion the celebrated instrumentalists, The Jeanne Franko Trio of New York, have been engaged. Wash- ingtoniens will be pleased to learn that Miss Ruth Tnompson, formerly of this city, but now of New York, will.also as- sist, while local talent will be represented by tho popular baritone, Mr. Charles E. Myers. = —>—_ The Coy Coyote. Frem the Kansas City Journal. “Speaking about smart animals,” said the real estate man, “I want to go on record as saying that there is no animal that can hold a candle to the coyote for smoothn2ss. When I first went out to western Kansas I had an ambition to kill enough coyotes to make a laprobe to send back to my friends in the east. I tramped all over that coun- try with a gun, but I never could gst nearer than within a mile of a coyote. I used tc drive out in my buggy and hide the gun under the seat, but it didn't make any difference; not @ coyote ev2r got near enough so that he ped have been Lt i tied! ue I s 3 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1898-24 PAGES.

A dispatch from Muncie, Ind., says that @ giaes firm there has received an order for 500 glass fenceposts, to be of the usual size and grooved for the reception of wire. It 1s added: “The order has caused some speculation and is probably an introduc- tion of an important article in trade.” It is an interesting illustration of the ten- dency of modern science and inventive genius to discover new uses for old ma- terials. One day it ts the conversion of the pith of the cornstalk into a valuable article of commerce, and the next the ap- plication of glass to a practical purpose Bitherto unthought of. We have had the seme trivial point. The sculptor, in the creation of this por- trait, was, of course, obliged to rely en- tirely on the various existing likenesses, and considering the difficulties under which he has labored, he has been unusually suc- cessful. Mr. Trentarove, with painstaking care for historical accuracy, given Webster the dress of his time, and has placed upon his shoulders one of the cloaks worn at that period. In the artistic effect of the statue, this cloak plays an important part, as the sweep of its long, heavy folds helps to give a classic dignity to the figure. The statue, which is of heroic size, is ex- actly twelve feet in height. } This imposing statue will be a notable addition to the already large lst of monu- ments here, and the high grade of the artistic workmanship makes it worthy of a ‘Tower, Warren Mrs Toral, Minnie Mise y adinnte ae atone Dorner, Annie Mise Hohnes, Carrie Miss prominent position.
