AS A COSViPA'NY COMMANDER HIS FAME EXTENDED FAR THROUGH THE RANKS. BRAVE KENTUCKY SOLDIER Will Bo Retired Next Konth With the Rank of Major General. INCIDENTS OF HIS CAREER.

Washington, Marc-h 23. Spec2al. In view of the retirement next month or Gen. J. C.

Breckinridge, a Kentuclrian, with the rank of Major General, some-thing about his military career will be of special Interest at this. time. It has long been an accepted fact that the enlisted man's verdict of an officer is one of the best possible crl-terlons of that officer's real value as a military man, especially in the daily routine of details that go to the malting and perfecting of good and efficient soldiers. There is much reason why this should be so, for the enlisted man serving under an officer sees him in his everyday aspect, and comes Into contact with hint in many ways that show every aspect cf his character. good, bad and indifferent; and he can therefore take his measure with great aecuracj-.

Ssrgt. Thomas Morris, now at head quarters of the army, served in Battery Second artillery, wben It was commanded by Gen. Breckinridge. In dis cussing Gen. Breckinridge's retirement to-day, Sergt.

Morris said that Gen. Breckinridge joined as Post Command er at Fort Foote, in 1S74. "'A't the time he joined," continued the sergeant, "it was not much of a post la any way, but before he left It was the beat one-company post in the army probably the best post of any size, so far as the comfort and convenience of the men was concerned. He -had a water system and fine bathrooms put in, and inaugurated every convenience almost that could be desired. We had a farm with which not much had been done before he came, but he soon had us raising-agreat abundance of fine retables.

and we bought cows, poul try, and had plenty of Potomac shad and other gocd fish out of the river, and it was not long before the enlisted men at that jwst were living like boarders at a good hotel. When we went in, to breakfaFt we were asked whether we would have tea. coffee or milk, and there was hardly anything good to eat that wc did not have in abundance, and. Major (then) Breckinridge did not think that anything was too. good for his men, no" matter how gocdk It might be.

His reputation as a company commander was so good that at one time he had no less than sixteen ex-Sergeamts In his battery men who had been Sergeants in other organizations, but had, on their discharge, re-enlisted in Major Breckinridge's battery. First Uniform Overcoat. "WJien lite present array overcoat was flrvt isinrei our post got two of them to try in the way of experiment. Gen. Breckinridge had one of them made over, rellned atid otherwise improved.

a.nd the men of the battery all wanted overcoats like that. So the General nad Miem all measured and, sending the remade coat as a sample, the measrires were sent to the Quartermaster depot in Philadelphia, where overcoats were made for and ours was the flrft organization in the army tnat ever had 'those uniform overcoats. Tire name may be said as to the trousers and coats. One member of the battery Private Geddlngs took his dress coat that fcad been devised by the General, and kept It for years as: a t'how-'piece to other soldiers, and he always slid: 'Tills is the bast dress coat that ws ever Issusd to the "Gen." Breckinridge's battery was the first company organization In the artillery that evsr had systematic lccg-range rifle practice, though It has nOw become general and is one of the great features of the service. He inaugur ated these 'shoots' himself and offered prizes at his own expense to the bast marksmen.

These prizes were gold and i silver medals, meerschaum pipes and other valuable articles. I still have a meerschaum pipe that cost 512 that the General won himself and gave to me. He did not take part the ordinary which were contlntd to the erslisted men. but there were ly general 'shoots' wihich were free to all, and in thiic he and other office would take part. "He was a crackerjack shot himself tJie very best In the battery aoid al-wayri won prizes: but lo these cases he would not put that same article up to be tfcot for again, nor would he keep It, but would -present it to some man In the battery.

He may have kept a few of the medals for which he made extraordinarily good scores. "I-Ie was alfo the first officer in the army who regularly and systematically practiced his rr-en In the bayonet exercise. As a matter of fact, he kept his men right up to the mark in every aetall of a soldier's duty, in that they were always fit and as nearly perfect soldiers as men could be. Always In Sendiness. 'Mad.

Breckinridge mad? Battery Second artillery, one of the best drilled batteries in the service. It was olwaya ready for service at a moment's notice. This wia-s proved when President Garfield was shot. Out cf Che four batteries stationed at Washington 'arsenal at that time, battery was the only one ready to take the field when we got the news that the President was shot, and that our services were needed, and when wo arrived at the gate at Four-and-a-half street we were halted, and when we were all inspected battery had forty rounds of ammunition ptr man, and the other batteries had none ait all. We had to give the others fhlr-ty rounds, and this left t'Se men of with only ten rounds each.

Arthur Winning Hadley, president of Tale University, was the guest honor yesterday -afternoon at a reception given by Col. and Mrs. Morris B. Belknap and last evening at a banquet at the Pendennls Club, given by the Kentucky Tale. Alumni Association.

In the afternoon he greeted a number of future students of the university and at night he renewed the associations of college days w.lth fifty graduates, ranging from gray-headed men down to youngsters who obtained their degrees last-June. Dr. Hadley Is recognised as one of the foremost educators of the day. Even before his elevation to the head of the university he had become world renowned through his works on political economy, social economics and railroad As an executive' he has more than justified the hopes of the alumni, and Tale under his direction has progressed more rap-Idly than at any period In her history. Dr.

Hadley J.s still a- young man, at least. In appearance. In manner though somewhat nervous he is affable and there is still a trace of the easy comradeship of the undergraduate. "I am making a tour of the country," he said, "meeting the members of the several Yale alumni associations and exchanging ideas with them as to what shall be done for the good of Yale. Our university, you know, always listens to the advice of her sons and possibly more than any other Is guided by the sentiment and wishes of former students.

I have been away from New Haven a week, and have been In a number of cities. It Is yet too early to say anything abouf the suggestions I have made and received. Before any are put Into effect there must be many discussions and much correspondence." "What do you think of the reported decline of Latin and Greek as studies?" was asked Dr. Hadley. "There is a noticeable but slow decline In the compulsory study of Greek," he, replied, "while Latin Is required more and more.

I believe that the day will come when a man may obtain a degree without Greek, but I would not care to ray how soon. It may be five years, It may be longer." The banquet last night was the largest ever given by the Yale Alumni of Kentucky. Mr. J. S.

Bockee, president of the association, acted as toastmaster and delivered the welcoming On his right was seated Dr. Hadley, who was frequently applauded during his response to the toast "Yale." During the evening all the Yale songs. Including "Boula" and "Here's to Good Old Drink Her Down" were sung under the. direction of Mr. Gilbert Cowan.

At Johnstown some of the strikers were up on a "steep mountain rolling big stone3 down on the troops.

When he was picked up the men were going to take 'him i to his quarters, but he would not allow it, but made them take him to the Adjutant's office, where the surgeon dressed his wound.

The greatest and gamiest of game fUh 4ha mighty Silver King has made his appearance, and now rods anl- reels are ou't, -baited with silver mullet to entice the big fighters to combat.

The guests of the Fort Myers are Just getting warmed up, and several have had strikes, and yesterday Mr. Sanrnders P. Jones all but got his fish. Ho played a large fine fellow for ten minutes and had Mm up to the boat for Philip Bylasld to gaff, when the snood. and the sliver king was at liberty, although he had undoubtedly been killed.

At Useppa -there are a large number of fishermen, and so far six or eight tarpon have been taken, but we Have failed to secure the record. At Punta Rassa Mr. Charles Graham, of Brooklyn, N. -Has the -honor of the first catch, a beauty six feet long. and weighing ninety and one-half pounds.

Messrs. Charles Jones, Schrl-ver, Fishmuth and others have all had fish, hooked, but In nearly every case the Ulne became eritangled in some way and the fish Was lost. At Sanfbel. also, Mr. John Howard Adamis, of West Pa-rk-on-Hudson, X.

brought dn a tarpon this week, and from now on the sport will be lively In rivers, bays an-d passes. In no other part of the country can the. great 'sport of tarpon angling be more thoroughly enjoyed than along the bays, passes and in the Caloosa-haitchee river. If the fisherman Is looking for excitement and adventure, let him go to the passes, where he must be equipped with strong tackle to get n. -his fish In a hurry or lose it to the sharks.

If he wiants genuine sport, where he can malteh hl3 skill with the rod' and reel against the 'cunning 'and strength of the silver king, let him fish In the Oaloosahatchee river or bays along the coast, and with tackle light enough to give the fish a chance for his life he can skillfully handle the great silver monarch of the deep, watch his high leaps clear of the water, his defiant toss of the silver head as he endeavors to free himself from the hook, and- to check his adroit mpves to regain his freedom. One such ca'thc la worth traveling to the ends of the. earth for. The first tarpon of the season was caught March 5 at Caipt'lva Pass, by Sir Randolph Baker, cf England, who is' sojourning wtfth a friend at the Useppc Inn on Useppa Island, Florida. The fish weighed seventy pounds.

A number -have been hooked in the past week, but this Is the first one landed. Question As To Eeathers. A suit is expected to be filed to-day by Mr. R. D.

Hill, United States District Attorney, to collect 5599.90 customs duty from the Louisville Pillow and Mattress Company. The step will be taken, as a result of a disagreement bfl-tween the local officials, and the officers of the pillow company. On February 25 a consignment ot feathers from Liverpool to the Louisville Pillow and Mattress Company passed through the' custom house. They were entered as crwUv feathers a.nd a duty of 15 per cent, was paid. Since then Mr.

John Richardson, the appraiser, ha; inspected the feathers and decided that they should have been entered as old feathe-rs and subjected to a duty of 50 per cent, ad valorem. This is disputed by the consig-nses and the courts will be asked to decide the question. 1 ADDS NEW PLEASU8E TO OLD DI SMS of Jl to Best thing you can do with jS(a res money and best way to sava money.
