BEAUTY, SYMMETRY, SOLIDITY AND GRACE Iow Men Act In Battle-Targest of All G. A, R Moetings—Jack's Double Jag~A Brave Confeder ate Chaplain, The handsomest monument on the field of Gettysburg was unveiled onJuly 3 in commemoration of that eventful day thirty years ago, It stands in the National cemctery within a stone's throw of the beautiful statue of Major General John F. Reynolds. It was erected by the state of New York in memory of the 1,300 valiant sons who are clustered in soldiers’ graves at its foot. Its wotal height is ninety-two feet nine inches, its weight is many tons, and its cost is $62,000. It commands a charm- ing view and can bo scen from any part ept the leo of Culp's Hill il's Den: When finished it will be the erowning work of the New York State Board of Gottysburg Com- missioners, whose organization was in- spired by Geferal Daniel E. Sickles, and which came into official being through his efforts under a legislative act passed in 1887, It is within the bounds of reason to eay that the New York state monuments surpass in artisti® design, beauty of execution and solidity of construc those crected by any other state in the union. On these i’mfl.lu- carred fields the Kmpire state has buvied with hor fallen heroes $260,000 in monumental testimonials. The state monument as it stands is a model of beauty, symmetry, solidity and race. In height it is 76 fect, with a Ecrolc statue in bronze of a young girl 16 feet 9 inches in height, holding in her hand outstr 1 over tho graves of the unknown York dead a wreath of lanrel. The figure is majestic in appearance and superb in execution. The buse of the monument, which has been erected under the supervision of A. J. Zabriskie, engineer to the commis- sion, is°27 feet in height. It is built of Hallowell gl'nnile‘ with a polished shaft. On the plinth isa bronze trophy sur- mounted by a New York state cagle in bronze over the state's escutcheon. Underneath the escutcheon and on the base itself, in solid blocked letters, stand out in bold relief the two simple words, “New York.” Along the upper line of the base are the badges of the different corps that participated in the battle—the First, gccunfl. Third, Fifth, Sixth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Cavalry Bngineor, Sigual corps and artillgry. On the four sides of the base are left places for appropri- ate tablets, ono of which will bear a complete list of all the officers from New York state who were killed or mortally wounded in the battle. But the commission has done even more than this to enhance the attract- {veness and beauty of the monument. It has put in position a bronze circular in alto relievo, divided in four panels, re- producing the valor of New York state officers on the field. The front panel represents General Sickles immediately after he was struck by the confederate i He has been helped from his horse and is leaning upon one of his brigade commanders, Brigadier General JosephB. Carr. In this group are the well-remembered faces of General S. K. Zook, who was killed the same day that Sickles was hit; General S. H. Weed, a native New Yorker, who was mortally wounded the following day on Round Top by a con- federate sharpshooter; General C. K. Graham, another of the Third corps brigade commanders, who died three years ago; General R.B. Ayres of the artillery, who died only a year or two ago at Fort Hamilton; General J. H. obart Ward, a brigade commander, who is now a clerk in the superior court in New York city, and Brigadier Gen- eral Henry E. Tremain, who was on General Sickles’ staff, and who was the first offirer to reach him after he was wounded. On the obverse side is a group of gen- eral officers surrounding Major Genoral Henry W. Slocum of Brooklyn, the com- mander of the right wing of the union army. At his vight stands the venera- ble GoneralGeorge S. Greeng, through whose magnificent generalship and sagacity the union army was saved on the night of the Ist. At the time of the battle General Greene was 63 years old. Today he is the oldest surviving gradu- ate of Wett Paint. General Meade had ordered the entire Twelfth corps over to the support of the union left, which coy- ered Round Top. General Slocum ox- postulated against the movement. He leclaréd that Meade was imperiling not only the right wing, but the entirc army of the Potomac. His arguments were 80 forcible and convincing that Meade finally permitted him to retain one brigade, Slocum detached Greene's brigade, and this little force held the barbed end of the fish-hook line which represented the union front. General Greene 4 quickly perceived that his brigade was totally inadequate to protect the position intrusted to his care, and placed his entire force in line as skirmishers, with intervals of ten cos between each man. In spite of his precaution General Edward Johns- ton’s confederato division poked its nose between his lines, and, as ‘a matter of fuct, pierced the union position, but, suspecting by the position of Greene's troops that he was in a trap cavefully laid, Johnston failed to take advantage of the situation. Every officer on the fleld who knew what Johnston had ac- complished was amazed that he failed to follow up his advantage und break the back of our line. Among the genoral officers in this roup, which is notable for the excel- ence of the likenesses, are General James S. Wadsworth, who ran for goy- ernor of New York on the republican ticket in 1862, and who was killed in the ‘Wilderne s in May, 1864; General David A. Ruseell, who came from Washington county, New York, and who was killed at the battle of Winchester, October 19, 1804; Brigadier General Henry J. Hunt, who was chief of artiliery on General Meade's staff, and who died three years ago; General Alfred Pleasanton, who was chief of cavalry of the Army of the Potomae, and who isnow living in Wash- ington, a retired colonel of the avmy; tho popular General Henvy A. Barnum, who died a couple of years ago in New York; General Joseph J. Bartlett, who died a fow months ago in Washington, and General AlexandermShaler, now liv- ing in New York city. q‘hs right panel represents the death of General Johu I, Roynolds, command- ing the First corps, and the likenass hus been pronounced by his sister to be the best she has ever seen. Over him ars bemtling Major General Abner Double- day, who died in Mendhaw, N. J., last onth, and Major General John C. Rob- nson, who lost a leg at Hgal.usfil\‘.nh who is now living in Binghawmton L X, nearly blind, Among other officars are Genoral Francis C. Barlow, who is quickly recognized; General A. Von Stelnwehr, who took possession of the formidable position of Cemetery Hill and held itin spite of the succossive charges of the eonfederates, and Colonel Thomas C. Devin, one of the cavalry commanders. The left panel ropresents the wound- ing of General Hancock, and around this central figure are grouped in a striking mannor General 'Kilpatrick, Goneral Warren, who was chief of en- gineers on Meade's staff, and who saw the importance of Round Top and seized it; General Dan Butterfield, who was chief of Meade's staff, and General Alox- ander S. Webb of New York city, who, in the absence of General “Paddy"” Owen, commanded the famous Phila- delphia brigade at the bloody angle and ved the full force of Pickett's charge on the afternoon of the 3d of July. 1s it & Battle Fever? There is, unquestionably, a species of fury or battle fever that seizes upon cer- tain men in action, though many vet- orans scout tho idoa. But tiere are skeptics as to any form of inspiration, whatever. I have secen men transformed in battle by sudden changes mar! as pereeptibly upon every feature ss the shifting lights and shadows scen upon the face of nature when the sun darts from behind a cloud. It is as though bands of restraint were loosened sud- denly, and_the pulses scem to leap us under an electric shock. 1 have felt the change and noted it at the instant. Dur- ing such a mood a soldier will attack anything that shows fight. Actors, orators and preachers understand this, for there comes.to them a time when the oceasion, the scene, the approving audience transports them from the real to the ideal—and inspivation, as good as any name, if it has been abused—carries them away. Again, the spur of a mar- velous deed may be incidental to the moment. When Kilpatrick ordered Farnsworth to lead his squadrons among the rocky boulders u.mi standing timber on the slopes of Round Top at Gettysburg in face of a brigade of infantry the brave young soldier protested that it was Sending men t@ slaughter. “These are 00 zood men to kill,” he pleaded. *If you are afraid to lead this charge, I will,” said Kilpatrick. There was hot challenge und fiery answer fora mowent, then the general of a day gave the sig- nal for that wild ride to death. Circling the field to draw the enemy’s fire—the sole purpose of the charge—and finding his band reduced to a handful and com- Elnmly surrounded, he started, sword in and, to cut his way through a whole regiment that stood across the path of retreat. Unhorsed in the first dash he sprang into the saddle of a fallen trooper and rode on until he was over- come by the drain of five mortal wounds. Farnsworth's charge would stand in history as a second Balaklava had not Pickett’s, occurring a couple of hours carlier, given the world a more pictur- esque feat of arms to wonder ebout. It is believed that General P. R. Cle- burne, who was killed at Franklin, Tenn., 1n 1864, while riding all alone against the union breastworks—the most heroic episode of the kind in the war— went into action that day piqued by a remark from his superior shortly before the attack, reflecting upon the spirit of Cleburne’s troops. At Shiloh Colonel Allen of the Fourth Louisiana led his men four times against the famous ‘‘Union hornet’s nest” only to meet with repulse. Receiving an order for another charge he asked the commander, Gen- eral Bragg, if the men must repeat the assault. *‘Colonel Allen, we want no faltoring here,” said Bragg, haughtily, then turned away. Though bleeding from a painful wound the colonel would not abandon his soldiers to their fate, but rode to the colors, sounded the charge, and dashed once more into the frightful carnage. Largest Grand Army Gathering on Record. Estimates which have been sent by the assistant adjutant generale of the difterent departments to the executive director of the twenty-seventh national encampment of the Grand Army, to be held at Indianapolis early in September, indicate that the atteridance at this great annual gathering will be 40 per | cent larger than ever betore. This is largel huc to the fact that the encamp- 4nent is to be held at a point which kx)s the center of the Grand Army mem- bership and will also bring them closer to the World’s fair, which will be one of the attractions of the .occasion. The work of providing accommodations tor the crowd is one of the greatest problems connected with tke encamp- ment and is being specially looked after under the supervision of the executive director. Big Boots and a B'g Head. General Meade, who was a good deal of u martinet, gave orders that no officer should be allowed to leave the lines of Petersburg, for Washington or else- where, unless his apolication was ap- proved by the adjutant general of the Army of the P6tomac; and ten days was to be the limit of the leave of absence. “Jack” Gleeson went to the adjutant general and stated his desirve for a leave, 80 says Hon, John F. Finerty in Dona- hoe's Magazine for July. “*General Meade won't hear of it," said the adjutan general, “if you haven't some good special reason for leaving your command.” But I have a good reason—a mighty good reason,” ‘Jack’ replied. Divil & pair of boots in the whole quartermaster Eunvrul'u outfit will go on my feet, and I ave to g0 to Washington to got & pair made to order. Is it barefooted the gen- eral would have me appear at the head of my men? Gleeson's logic convinced the adjutant general, and the required leave for ten duys was made out. “Juck” depurted in triumph, went on a magnificent ‘‘tear,” and made sad havoe of his financial re- sources, On the morning of the tenth day of his absence the u‘fljumm genoral received the following telegram from the national capital: “"Can't find a pair of boots in Washing, ton to fit me. Shoemakers all on a strike, I want leave extended ten days longer- 80 that I cun go to New York and have a pair built for me. *JouN H, GLE The officer showed the dispatch to Meade, who swore at first like a trooper, but, being himself the grandson of an Irishman, he rather enjoyed, at bottom, humor of Juck’s subterfuge. eli him he cun have his ten days leave additional,” said the general, “but if he has not returned by that time he must either quit the service or pro- vide himself with & smaller pair of feet, No. 18's are barred in this army.” It 18 needless to say that Giceson got back “‘on time,” having tirst displayed to the Feaians the trophies of his enter- prise. A Fighting Priest. A dispateh from Macon, Ga., announces the death in that city on Wednesday morning of Rev. Father Darius Hubert, in the T0th year of his age. He had re- moved to Macon from New Orleans about & year ago for his health, having sustained a stroke of parvalysis in the latter city about two years ago. Father Hubert was born July 19, 1823, at Toulon, the great naval station of France. His father gave him a collegiate education, und on September 23, 1843, when he was wsz':}lrlol e,he became & member of the ety of Jesus. After a few years in the churches of France he was assigued to work in this country. He embarked from Franceon the sailing vessel St. Ann. Ten other Josuits came over with him, They arrived in Mobile December 12, 1847, and then separated and went wherever their superiors sent them. Of the eleven that came over only twom now survive-Rev. Father Duffo and Brother Ignatius—the latter having for many yoears officiated as sex- ton of the Jesuit church. As chaplain in the confederate army he showed the highest courage of man- hood and the manly gentleness of the minister of God. He shared with the soldiers of his command. He was up and about at all hours of tho night, when most of the white-tented camp breathed in slumber, for he had no thought of fatigue when there was good to be done. Strange to say thislife of activity served to build up his physical frame. Previ- ously he had been very delicate, and had suffered from frequent hemorrhages, but four yearsof life in the open air scemed to recreate the wasted fibres, and left him at the close of. the war strong and healthy. The old soldiers have many stories to tell of Father Hubert's Virginia cam- paign. They tell them as they would tell’ them of any other veteran, for he was a much-loved comrade, and a soldier every inch of him. When the arm passed through Fredericksburg, M after a long mavch through brambles and bushes, and famine and despair, Father Hubert's clothes were in such a tattered condition, dangling irom him like 50 many rags—but honorable rags— that the good old man was forced to beg new nwmrcl from the people of the town, as he knew that the soldiers were too poor to furnish it. Father Hubert had in him the element that goes to make the hcru—}mrlccl fearlossness in the discharge of duty. The crew of the renowned Merrimac were under his chaplainship. When she had her famous tight with the Monitor Father Hubert was on shore. Immedi- ately after the fight Father Hubert sent word to the commanding officer, Admiral Buchanan, that he wished to come aboard and attend to those who needed his services. Admiral Buchanan came ashore and said Father, [ do not wish you to come aboard. We expect to en- gage the Monitor again tomorrow and it will be no place for you.” My place is with the wounded and dying," answered the brave priest. ‘‘But, father, listen,” returned the admiral. “We arein avery disabled condition and if the Monitor returns tomorrow I shall blow up the Merrimac with all on board, for se arve in no condition to fight and will never surrender. Remain on shore.” *As I said before, my place is with the wounded and dying,” replied the father. “If it is necessary [ wish to die with the men.” After the war Father Hubert returned to New Orleans and was made pastor of whe Jesuit church. e e Al GHERARDI TELLS A STORY. How He and His Crew Were Alarmed Dur- A Calm on the Pacitic, Real Admiral Bancroft Gherardi, who commanded the combined fleets of the world during the recent navai aemon- stration at Hampton roads and New York,.is a genuine old sea dog. He can spin as many yarns of strange adven- tures in distant seas and foreign clime: as any jack tar that ever hitched his trousers or shipped before the mast. Perhaps the oddest of all his adventures is one he recently told a Louisville Post man of a phantom hurricane of the Pacific. ‘It was ysars ago,” the admiral began, “when I was a captain, and in the duys of wooden ships and lofty masts, before the era of ironclads, that we were cruis- ing in thé Pacific, off the South Ameri- can coust. We had not had a captul of wind during the entire day. It was in the dog watch, just about eight tells. Lieutenant Patch was in charge of the deck and I was below when an orderly brought word that the lieutenant thought I had better come on deck. I knew something unusual was up, for Lieutenant Patch was an officer in whom I had the utmost confidence in any emergency. When I reached the deck [ cast an eye aloft and saw that the top sails were close reefed, sail shortened and everything in readiness for a blow. It was as calm as a duck pond, not even a whisper of a breeze, and I looked at Patch to see what was wrong. He pointed over the starboard beam, and looking in that direction through the gathering dusk I saw that the water was 4 mass of white. Over the quarter it was the same, the ocean to stur- board seeming to be whipped into foam, The first thought was, of course, that ons of these southern hurricanes was bearving down on us, We looked at the barome- ter, but it had not fallen. There was not a sound; the night was perfectly still, Satisficd that it could only be a hurricane in spite of the absence of the usual barometrie signs, I told Lieuten- ant Patch that he had better call all hands on deck tostand by to work the ship. All precautions nhad been taken, and the only question was whether the ship would stand. We stood in silence, all hands watching that wall Off to starboard, The suspense was trying, but we waited for the storm to strike us. Slowly it came on, neaver and nearer, but not a sound accompan: ing it, And then the ship went bang into that white, foamy mass. But there was not a sign of wind,'and we stood there amazed. Then a bucket was sent over the side and a pailful brought up. Wall, it was only a mass of animalcula, such as whales feed on. We were re- lieved, of course, but the hurrieane was 4 standing joke on board after that. ot L The Mun with wn Iron Jaw, “Big Jim” Cartter, the famous Ne- vada hghter, died the other day. Murk Twain 1n “Roughing 1t” tells a story of his prowess. Twain's aecount well illus- trates the quiet but deep determination of the mun. One evening Cartter en- tered & restaurant and unintentionally sav down on the hat of a tall and athletic hot-blooded young gentleman, who was with two or three other equally high spirited companions, When Carttor realized what he had done he apologized, straightened the hat out to the best of his ability, and gave his assurance on his honor as u gen- Ueman that it was not an intentional af- frout, und in a few modest words endeav- ored o appease the weath of the young man, who was, in fuct, a worthy citizen, though a trifle inexperienced. 1'he man with the broken hat insisted that it was 4 outrage that could not be forgiven, and, taking off his coat, challenged the stranger o combat, e “If we must fight, we must, 1 sup- pose,” said Cariter, slowly, as il unde- cided what to do. "1 don't like the idea, though, for I don't believe the whole Lot of you would have auy chance with we. Lot me show you something.” Quietly sitting down atthe big table he wok nold of 1t with his tecth, and bracing his knees against the lower part of the table, raised 1t with its contents, & big dinner for four, roast and sil, and with his horse load stood erect. » When he put the tabie to the fAoor without spilling & drop from the well filled glasses there was an oppressive silence which he broke by suying: “I have already apologized. My name is Cartter, Let's all take & drink.” Nobody refused. e Awes moved to 1617 Farnag, OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, WAITING O¥*CONGRESS NOW Wall Street Still Ufigsttled and Approhensive of Probthle Lagislation WAS CHECKED BY CLEVELAND'S CALL Progross of the Padle Arrested by the Ex- tra Sesslon Eroclamation—Neod of More Money — Bettor Feeling Among the Broke: Henry Clows, the New York banker, in his weekly lettor, revidvs the situation in Wall street in the following language : Wall strect romains unsettied and de- pressed. It has plainly passed the crucial point of the crisis, and_the process of re- covery has set in; but it proceeds so gradu- ally as to make 1o conspicuous impression upon the value of securities. The special in- terveution of a group of influential banks last week, by taking out a large amount of clearing house certificates, haa the effect of breaking up the dangerous stringency in money; but the seriousness of the cir- cumsiances which led to that saving effort causes yet to remain a certuin degree of cautionary effect. Several capi- talists of high standing and large corpora- tions with which they were assoclated had apparently become tomporarily embarrassed by the dificulty of borrow Indeed, the distrust hus been more porvasive probubly than at any previous period since the memo- table days'of 1878; and the whole difficulty arose from misgivings lest the Sherman act should drive us futo a suspension of gold payments. This distrust bscame o positive that nothing short of immediate steps towaras the suspension of purchases of sit- ver could stay its force, and deferment of those steps produced a quick and threaten- ing intensification of the apprehension. Cleveland € nnot Do AlL The president’s call for a special session of congress was thorefore the only kind of treatment that could produce any relief. That effect it has certainly had; but there is a limlt to what Mr. Cleveland's intervention can accomplish. [t is known that a month hence congress will proceed to the considera- tion of this question; and from such investi- gations as have been made into the views of members of congress, there seems to be more than a mere probability that the country may be saved from any further silver alarm. But in a matter of such supreme importance anything short of ab- solute certainty is insufiicient to establish o full return of confidence. The question is a very broad one and ramifies itself through our entire currency system, and it will ro quire judicious handling to insure the quick conclusion which is above all required and which, it may be hoped, congress will reach. Tt is possible that the discussions may verge upon sensitive topics, but that 1s foreseen, and there is consequently no disposition to take everything for granted, but to keep business within conservative limits until it is foreshudowed what are likely to be the monetary conditions of the future. Whilst it is highly desirable that congress should pass without delay a bill repealing s0 much of the Shermun act as provides for the purchase of silver, yet, cousidering the uncertain composition of the senate and the probability that the * ) 3 be found to insist on some compensation or substitute for the suspension of the present issues of silyer money, it is not improbable that contentions may arise from that sort of bargaining. It §s possible, however, that such a turn in debate, should it be wisely led, might be productive of much good and help towards a betier settlement of the gen- eral question. Forft is not to ba:supposed that a stoppage of silver issues is the only amendment the currency situation requircs. One Essential of Currency. ‘We must have anelasticity in our currency that will permit its volume to increase wit! the growing business of the country; and.if the new silver issues are stopped without provision being made forn natural additional supply of-money, the change will be simply one from unsound inflation to the opposite extreme of violeut contraction. It would be neither and unreasonable nor an unwhole- some demand if, concurrently with the con- sideration of A repeal bill, the sense of con- gress should be consulted as to the procure- ment of this needful elusticity through amendments of the laws relating to bank note circulation. Were a satisfactory un- derstanding reached on that question it would no doubt materially contribute to- wurds insuring the co-operation of that section of the_silver party who mainly for the way being kept open for increasing the circulation, whether through silver or paper being comparatively immaterial to them. Ample deliberation, if controlled by wise heads and directed towards prudent plans, may afford broader'and more perma- nently satisfying results thun a partial con- clusion limited to onc of the many points in- volved. It is to be hoped that some such prospect may temper the public patience in waiting tor the completed action of congres: that, howaver, need not and should not pre vent the early suspension of silver purchases throuzh the prompt and simple method of a joint resolution, which would avoid much dilatory parliamentary wrangling, Money Becoming Easler, The money market is steadily working into a condition of greater ease. The de- mand for currency from the interior hus al- most ceased, and & few days may quite pos- sibly see currency returning from the west. Besides which there is a reserve resource of a great many millions which has been with- drawn most selfishly and dangerously from the banks and trust companies by savings banks. Beyound this, there is an amount, considerable in the aggregate, withdrawn from deposit by private individuals and ultra-conservative country bank presideats, which may be expected to find its way back into circulation as soon as the stringeucy has abated. This movement is likely to soon place the banks inan easy position, when we may run into the opposite extreme of the glut of money and low rates of in- tevest. The pressure for discounts has almost dissappeard, Little new paper is being made, and the stronger and more prudent firms had made provision ahead of their wants when the first sign of the storm appeared ; 5o that now the amomnt of paper offered at bank is qite nominal, LONDON FINANCIAL REVIEW, On the Stock Exchange Business Was In- auimate, but Prices Stendy.
