H A New Form of Milituy Oompany Organ- ized in Chicago, CHICAGO HUSSARS FOR FAIR PARADES A Milkmaid Who Went to the War—1Hobh's Flag-A War Relle Unearthed Reunion of yivania Voluuteers, The Chicago Husears is a company of hat novel al novel th light cavairy formed on son lines, inasmiuch as it eombines vantages of a social club and of a riding st of a military or th school and the int ganization. It is i Ilinois state militia Navy Magazine, and « ring value of its different fun 1811 #aid to be only semi-military in its pur- pose. The active members, to the num- [n»: of 151, are required to own or con- trol horses, and to obtain two uniforms 1 the necossury equipments, [n addi- dependent of ys the Avmy tion 10 the active membership, the art cles of organization provide for an assoc; list of 250, Suel™ members will have the privilege of the club house and riding ring, but they cannot vote, nor do they have to wear uniforms and drill, The idea of the formation of such an independent company of cavalry was formed in August of 1858, but it was not until October of 1891 that the organiza- tion was incorporated. Sineo then very gratifying progress has been made, and arvangements entered into by which in the course of a year or 8o 'the troops will have an armory or elub house, with a riding ring of generous proportions. A loy been obtained on ‘Thirty-fifth streot, with a frontage of 100 fect'and o depth of 231 feet. In the ring, which will be surrounded by a baleony on which 1,500 spectators can be seated, a troop of 100 mounted men can Le easily drilled and ised. The uniforms of the Chicagg Huss ars are quite handsome and appropriate. Much carve and study have been spent in perfecting the uniform, and that which has finally been decided upon was not the choice at first. But it is much more soldierly looking than the one which formerly met with favor. The moving spirit in the work of organizing this troop has been, and is, Captain Edwin L.Brand,the commandant. He en- thusiasm has enabled him to overcome all difficulties, and these, as can well be understocd, were neither fow nor insig- nificant. Such a club without a home is not likely to be strong, but the en- thusiastic captain and his associates have provided for this. They have now completed all arrangements for the new armory, club house and riding school on the site named above. The plans are all drawn, and it is to be hoped the new strueture will be ready for occupancy during the coming winter. The build ing will cost about $100,000, for which bonds will be issued. The captain has issued a little *‘vest pockel” edition of Spointers” on correct horsemanshiy and a reader of it will learn of muny things a horseman should and should not do. Cavalry dvill is excellent both in training horses and riders, and there geems to be no reason why the Chicago Hussars should not be found one of the most attractive clubs devoted to horse- back exercise in the country. The Hussars are being seen and much talked about since the World's fair open- ing, for Director General Davis declared his intention of calling upon the troop toact as a guard of honor whenever he required a cavalvy escovt for distin- guished visitors on‘any public occasion. Of course, being called upon to perform this honorublo duty has already made the Hussars very populav, and gives the troop u distinet reason for existence. Fomnle Patriotism. A history of the women who served in the ranks during the war will reveal some remarkable displays of heroism. So far no correct roll of these has been preparved. This matter, however, should not be negleeted until too late to secure the necessary data. Following is a story sent in by our very reliable and accurate correspondent, W, H. Wallace of Hammondsville, O., says the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette: A young lady, the daughter of wostern farmer, whose heart o’erflow with patriotism, quietly left her com- fortable home, cut off her beautiful hair, donned male attire, enlisted in a com- pany, and went directly to the seat of war. During the home life she had been the milkmaid, and her kind treatment of the bovine tribe of the farm had made hor a gpecial favorite. But one of the laeteal tribe was her special favorite, and whose reciprocal love at mecting was always demonstrated. When mustered out of service she returned to her varental home, her babiliments being those of the heroes of tha war, and politely requested permission as a stranger for entertain- ment over night, which was readily granted by the kind host to a returning soldier, On the following morning she aro and, still regarded by the entire family as & perfect stranger, procecded in her soldier garb to her old milking quarters, and she was at once recognized by her pet cow, which procecded to meet her and greet her with all demoenstrations of a loving animal to a dear friend. Then the soldier returned to the household and, instead of possessing the recogn ing powers of a cow, it was hard work to persuade them that she was really their aughter. Awmerlcan Spu ““During the greator part of the war,” said the retired skipper, “there were ' 8 lurge number of American ¢ stalled in Hong Kong harbor, bavin, orders to remain there from their owners, who feared the Alabama. This rangement did not at all please the captains and officers, us many of us were anxious 10 go home and shipin the navy, but orders were orders. We could not leave the ships, and the frequent visits of the Alabamy herself to the harbor, foreing herself ‘into our midst,’ as the saying gees, were very vivid reminder that neutral waters were a pretty good sort of an invention, ““Although we passed the long weeks and months as pleasantly as we could, with all kinds of arrangements for kill- ing time, both on shipbcard and on shore, there was of course a continual and concerted growl going up from our littlo band of Yaukee skippers, and old Hobbs was the star growler of us all. *His ship was the Humming Bivd, a brand new clipper hailing from Boston, “You can see what his feelings were when cne day he was ordered to preceed to Sumatra under the British flag.

It has been estimated that July 1, ), there were 1,250,000 survivors of the army of the union, und that between 1865 and 1800 the soldier death rate was greater in proportion to the general population than it now is, for during that period the seriously wounded and dis- eased and the men of fecble physique were mustered out of life, It has been alleged that because of their disabilities incurred in the service the expectation of life on behaif of four-tenths of the survivors of 1865 was lesscned twelve years, and that of the vetorans now liv- ing three-tenths have this lessened hold on life, [ think that estimate is erroneous. Being the historiun of my regiment, I have kept posted to the living and the dying of my comrades. Knowing our exact numbers when we were mus- tered out, and within five of the exact number who were living July I, 1800, and that at muster out our average ago was 26 years and 1 month, [ gave the data to an actuary, asking him to let me know how many of us according 1o the ordinary rules of mortality should then be alive, and he came within two of the actual number of our survivor In other words, our death rate had been just the same as that of the average citizen of our years. This does not prove that war life wasa lengthened picnie, caleulated to increase our health and lengthen our days, but that the disabling effects of our military services had taken us out of the picked, the selected class of lives and brought us down to the *‘ordinary expectation” of life. As picked men, selected for onr frecdom from constitutional defects and predisposition to disease, our earthly ex- istence should average fully three years longer than it has done or will do. During the last decade the mortality of invalid pensioners has averaged yearly 19 4-10 in 1,000, and, what is singu- lar, that has also been the death rate of widow pensioners. As husbands on an average are fully two years older than their wives, and because of deferved marriages resulting from the war an- other year must be added to seniovity of married veterans, we have the fact that the mortality of soldiers is no greater than of women three years their junior. In all caleulations upon this subject it will be sufe to assume the s length of days to the surviving “boys” as to the other men of corresponding years. Our expectation of life being the same, our proneness to disability for manual labor must closely correspond with that of other men, The average age of the survivor of the late w is 04 years, and 50 the number of invalid pensioners should be in proportion to the wen of 54 years of age who are disabled for man- ual lubor. It has been estimated that 2,250,000 different individuals enlisted in the union armies, and by them or their representatives 1,930,000 original appli- cations for pensions have been filed. De- ducting the 400,000 who died during the war, and it appears that of 1,850,000 soldiers 1,530,000 have since 1862 died or become 80 disabled for manuul labor as to apply for pensions, which seems in- consistent with the theory that their ex- ation of life is as great as that of their fellows of similar_ years, but the theory is correct and will stand all tests. A Voterau Ticker. A colored man, plowing in a fisld near the old town of Fredericksbarg, Va,, a few weeks ago, turned up a little gutta- percha box, which will be brought to Chicago if wmoney, time and energy can secure it, and placed where it ¢an be in- spected bya band of gray-haired men who weve frisky youngsteérs when the boX was new. 1t 15 a little pueket tele- graph instrument, a reluy and key com- bined, built inside of a gutta-percha case. John Dean Caton, ex-chief justico of 1llinois, made it years ago at his in- strument factory at Ottawa. It was one of the vype of instruisents issued to the army telegraph operators in the great war' of the rebollion. A, H, Bliss of this city, says the Chicago Tribune, served thy years in that corp. He carried that instrument one year, ticked out the orders of Sedgwick, Meude and @ dozen corps communders in half a dozen bloody battles, and he lost it on the feld of Spottsylvania, Ho proposes to get it, show it to his old army com- rades and send it to the World's fair. A, H. Bliss is an opulent bourd o1 trade man. He husn't touched a key for years, but reads occasionally tele- gru\:hm journals, In one of these he read the other day a brief account of the negro plowman's ind. The paper said the instrument was exhumed near the spot which the brave men of the north- ern army who fought at Spottyslvania christened the Bloody Angle. The ac: count concluded with the question, **Who is the operator who owned this?" Tam!" Bliss shouted as he read it. He straightway wrote letters to the edi- tor of the paper und to people in Vir- ginia, telling them how he kuew it and | asking that the instrument be sent to bim. He is preparing to follow the let- TH ters himself with anample bank ace mnt to draw on o any extent to get that in- strument back. He told a group of listeners @t his office his reasons for believing that it was his prop- or went from Chicago to Washington in 1862 and joined the corps of milita telegraphers,” said he. ‘1 was at Mc Clollan’s headquarters for a while, then was moved o other divisions, and finally was assigned to the Sixth corps ot the \rmy of the Potomac. Through the fight at Spottsylvania T was at Sedg- wick's headquarters using the instru- ment, which had been issued to me a year before. The only other operator on the field was J. D. Tinney, who after- ward became postmaster at Vieksburg, When we packed up and moved to the sht we crossed near the Bloody Anglo. rode a horse and lost the instru- ment out of my pocket. 1 missed it of course, but could not_go back und hunt for it. It was a trifle too wurm. An- other instrument was issued in time I forgot the loss. [ knew that it was my instrument the colored man found because Tinney, the only man on the field who had one like it, did not lose his. I would recognize it now.” Mr. Bliss is president of the Old Time Telegraphers association, that numbers in its ranks many men who oecupy high positions in commereial, professional and clectr 'ge proportion m we in the military telegraph e during the war. Oncea year in one of the larger cities east or west they meet, renew old associations and dine. [n September they meet in Chicago. Mr. Bliss means to'have the instrument to show them. It will give new zest t» the old tales which will be told for the twentieth time, he thinks. It will fia more vividly upon the fresh young minds to me and of the sons of members who will be present the stories of how wires were | strung on tree tops and on improvised poles to the thunderous music of cannon and musketry and the shrieks of flying sh . The military telegraphers have fewer mementos of 1heir services than the Grand Army of the Republic. They were not enlisted men. They had no battle flags to preserve. Few, perhaps none of them, could great eipher code code which was tind a copy of the which they used—a a monument to the in- genuity of the late General Anson Stager and Colonel S. G. Lynch and others who framed it. There were four- teen codes, each simplicity itself, by means of which the Inglish language could he entangled beyond the power of any man to unrvavel without a key. The southern army captured several opera- tors und their cedes. They benefited nothing, however, for the captured code was at once abandoned and the little books containing it destroyed. Mpr. Bliss will send the instrument to the Worid's fair after the Old Timers adjourn.

The restoration of the banks to something approuching a nor- il condition hus contributed much towards this improvemont, inasmuch as 1t has re moved the money blockade, restored confi dence in credits, renewed discounting and prepared the way toa general return of ease and low rates in monoy. The action of the house of representatives on silver has made a still more important contribution towards the recovery of confidence, for it has given A strong assurance of the remedy of the evil from which ull the derangements—mone- tary, financial and commercial—have pri- marily arisen. “Unfortunately, the recovery is obstructed by the needless delay of the senate in con- firming the action of the house on silver re- peal. For the ordinary purposes of trade the strong assurances coming from the houso and the probability of the senate ultimately giving a like mujority may be accepted as a sufticiont guarantee of a moderate business ; for trade obligations do not usually extend over a period longer than a few weeksor months, But with the larger operations of capital it is a different case. When outlays for large projects have to be provided for those who ure to advance the capital need to be assurcd that nothing will interfere to prevent the due payment of their iouns; und when doubt exists as to the kind “of money in which hquidation may be ultimately made, the capitalist re- fuses to lend uatii that radical doubt 1s re- moved. 1t thu s that the tac- tics of de olutely persisted in by the senate are ng upon the larger opera- uons of finance and upon new undertakings of industry as complete u paralysis as has oxisted at'any time since the depression set in.

It is not strange that some people do wrong through ignorance, others from o failure to invesiigate us to the right or wrong of a mutter. But it is strange, that individuals and firms, who are fully aware of the rights of others, will per- sist in perpetrating frauds upon them. High-toned, wealthy manufreturing firms will offer and sell to retail mer- chants, urticles which they know to be infringements on the rights of proprie- tors, and imitationsof well known goods. We want tosound a note of warning to the retailers to beware of such imita- tions aud simulations of “CARTERS LIT- TLE LIVER PILLS.” When they are of- fered 0 you, refuse them; you do not want to do wrong, and you don’t wunt to lay yourself liable t0 a lawsuit.
