CvBHss, Rochester, N.Y 73 I1G TROOPS FOR UNCLE SAM How It Was Done inthe Sixties by the; Union League MOST EFFECTIVE WORK The Patriotic Organization Stands Ready to Repeat Its Efforts If Its Aid Is Needed I stirring resolution adopted at a meeting of the Union League directors last Tuesday, pledging its support to the government in case of hostilities with the bare reference to the record of this stalwart organization during the Civil War, has a deep significance to the citizens who were old enough to shoulder a musket in the' exciting days of the early '60s. Not only did the League by pacific measures endeavor to foster and extend a spirit of patriotism throughout the State, but under its auspices nine regiments of infantry and one battalion of cavalry were raised. No organization of Pennsylvania Volunteers carried themselves more bravely or created greater havoc in the enemies' lines that did the regiments enlisted by the League, and it is the proud boast of many an old veteran that he marched to the front with them. In the same way the League proposes in case this country should become im-broiled in a war with Spain to place its services at the command of the President, and there is no doubt that this would materially help to make Philadelphia a centre for the enlistment of troops. During '62 and '63 the work accomplished by the Committee on Enlistments and the Board of Publication of the League, then in its infancy, was enormous.

The former committee was the result of a meeting held June 27, 1863, which was called in order to counteract the excitement caused by Lee's invasion. J. Reese Fry was made chairman, his associates being Samuel Felton, J. Edgar Thomson, Dr. Ellerslie Wallace, James L.

Claghorn, Horace Binney, Morton McMichael, George H. Crossman J. I. Clark Hare, W. D.

Lewis, Geo. hitney and Andrew Wheeler. Advertisements were inserted in The Inquirer and other papers for recruits, and bv July 4 one regiment was completed. In fact, by December three regiments were under arms, and under the command of Colonel W. D.

Whipple thev were known as the Union League Bri-gaefc THE COMMANDS. The first of these organizations was known as the First Pennsylvania Chasseurs, headed by Lieutenant-Colonel r. Elwood Zell; the second (Fifty-ninth P. commanded by Colonel Gray, and the third by Colonel George P. McLean.

The three regiments were the One-hundred-and-ninety-eighth, One-hundred-and-mne-ty-sixth, One-hundred-and-eighty-third, Two-hundred-and-thirteenth, Two-hun-dred-and-fourteenth and Two-hundred-and-fifteenth. The One-hundred and ninety eighth, known as the Sixth Union League, was organized in the summer of 1864, the recruiting commencing after the muster out of the Reserve Corps. The work of get-tine the men in shape was carried on by Horatio G. Sickel, who afterwards became colonel of the regiment, ana James xx Orne. In five weeks every company was filled and on the 9th of September the officers assumed formal commands.

Cnder the command of Colonel Sickel, with John B. Murrav as lieutenant-Colonel and A. Glenri as Major the regiment, af-- oivirnr Vieir State colors at the Union League house, omid' great enthu siasm, started on tneir way to join Ann nf Vii Potomac. The One-hundred-and-ninety-eighth was consigned to the rirsi ungaae, rini IV Fifth Corns. The Philadel phia bovs received their first baptism of shot and shell at the battle ot Peeble Farm, when they drove the enemy back with greA vigor.

The record of the One-hundred-and-eighty-third Regiment (Fourth Lnion League) was in every way a brilliant one, and it is known that Confederate generals evaded encounters with this cracic organization. The regiment was recruited at the old Frankford depot and at a rendezvous TirviaH and Chestnut streets. The of ficers were: Colonel.

Georee P. McLean; lieutenant-colonel. John Powell; major, John Reynolds. Colonel McLean had previously served as major of the Twenty-second and' as colonel of the Eighty-eighth, and was considered a valuable man by his superiors. After the full complement had been made up the regiment joined the Army of the Potomac, where it was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division of the Second Corps.

The regiment during the campaign was associated with the Six-tv-first New York, Eighty-first Pennsylvania and the Twentv-sixth Michigan, under the command of then Colonel Nelson A. Miles. On the fierce fighting in the udemess and near the Po River and Laurel Hill. Miles' brigade was in the thickest of it all, and the young men who had left the counting room, college and workshop bore themselves like veterans. Owing to some misunderstanding with Miles, Colonel McLean, Lieutenant-Colonel Powell, Major Reynolds and Adjutant Theodore F.

Mann resigned. Captain J. F. McCullough then became colonel and was succeeded by Captain George T. Egbert.

The regiment was mustered out on July 13, 1865. The One-hundred-and-ninety-sixth Regiment was mustered at Camp Cadwalader in! the spring of 1864, and did garrison duty until it went out of service in November. The officers were: Colonel, Har-manus Neflf; lieutenant-colonel, Arthur McGinnis: maior, John A. Gorgas, and adjutant, William H. McMinn.

The commanding officers of the Two-hundred-and-thirteenth, Two-hundred-and-fourteenth and Two-hundred-and-fifteenth, which were detailed on guard duty were, respectively: Colonel, John A. Gorgas; lieutenant-colonel, Jacob M. Davis; maior, E. R. Artman; adjutant, James L.

Mcllhenney; colonel, David B. McKibbin; lieutenant-colonel. W. H. Harrison; major, W.

M. Worrall, and adjutant, William M. Buddy; colonel, Francis B. Wistar; lieutenant-colonel, Francis Jones; major, A. F.

Goodman; adjutant, Thomas C. In the raising of colored troops the Union League was most active and furnished many a company for the regiments that were being gathered. It may be that the Union League house on Broad street will be the scenes events something like those which stirred the patriotism of Philadelphians in years gone by.

19, LONG DISTANCE FLYERS Winners of Races -That Could Bring to Shore Quick News of Naval Battles "Five thousand birds, all trained and experienced flyers, could and would be placed at the disposal of the United States Government by Philadelphians in the of a war between this country and Spaku That is, if the government would accept them." The speaker was one of the best known raisers and trainers of homing pigeons in the United States. In a chat with an Inquirer reporter yesterday afternoon he told a. whole lot of interesting things in connection with homing or carrier pigeons and the service they could render to the United States in a war with another nation. "Of eourse, you will understand that it is only in a naval engagement," he said, "that the birds would be valuable. In land battles the telegraph and the field telephone would furnish more rapid means of transmitting messages.

But on the Bea, where it is likely most of the righting between this country and Spain will be done, if any is done at all, electricity cannot be used, for reasons which are obvious. Still, it is often just as important that quick communication be had with the shore and with the naval officials at Washington during a battle between warships as between regiments of land fighters. FREE TO THE GOVERNMENT. "Philadelphians have paid more attention, perhaps, to the raising and training; of homing pigeons than the people of any other one locality in the country- As a result there ar.e at least 30,000 birds oi various ages and in various stages of development and training owned in the city to-day. Of this number at least 10,000 are fit to be put to work carrying war messages, and 5000, I have not the least doubt, would be oiiered free to the Navy Department the minute it became known that they would be used.

"Some of these birds hold championship records for long distance flights and all of them are good ones. Take "the loft owned by W. S. Torkington, of est Philadelphia, for instance. Mr.

Torkington, by the way, wrote to Secretary Long onlv a couple of days ago offering the pick of his fivers to the government. Included in the number are birds that have won the West Philadelphia district championships at 200, 300 and 400 miles and one that finished second in the 300 race. His loft is bred principally from Kingston and Twilight, two of the most famous breeders in the world, and the birds he would turn over to Secretary Long could be depended upon to bring home every time the messages with which they were intrusted. NOTED ONES AMONG THEM. "Charles H.

Jones, of Clifton Heights, the racing secretary of the National Association of Homing Pigeon Fanciers, is another whose loft of long distance flyers would be turned over to the government. He has 125 or more birds. Arthur McGinn, the well-known contractor, has also offered 100 of his 200 flyers to the government, one of them being the celebrated Gainesville, the homer that finished second in.tha'world-famed race in which thevin-nerrflewbl miles between sunrise and sunset. The loft of Connel Sloan, lo cated in West Philadelphia, would mrnisn fiftv firat-class birds, the most celebrated being the winner of the 500-mile West Philadelphia district race last year. Another breeder whose birds are at the disposal of the government is Louis A.

Meh-tieth and Diamond streets, who turned over a lot of homers to Secretary of the Navy Herbert during Cleveland last administration, the latter making a number of highly satisfactory experiments with them. But the list could be extended indefinitely." The method of utilizing the pigeons by the naw would be extremely simple. Cotes of birds would be carried on board each of the warships, one cote from each town or city with which it might become desirable to communicate. These could be coast or inland cities, although the former would be preferable, as all communications could be forwarded from them to Washington by wire upon arrival of the message-bearing birds more rapiaiy xnan the pigeons themselves could make the trip. SENDING A MESSAGE.

Before or after a battle, or even during an engagement, should the commander of a ship or of the fleet want to send word to the national capital or to any other place he would simply cause the message to be written on the light paper that is used for the purpose and fastened to the tail feathers of the bird whose home loft was in the town nearest to the place for That Little Pad HERE'S STR0N6 TESTIMONY AS TO ITS REMARKABLE CURATIVE QUALITIES.

ELEMENTS OF STRENGTH Business Men's League Very Much Annoyed Over Dr, Swallow Lieutenant-Governor Walter Lyon, speaking yesterday for the friends of Congressman William A. Stone, said the Allegheny county man was stronger to-day than at any time since he entered the contest, and that his prospects for winning the Republican nomination, for Governor were excellent indeed. While other candidates have been giving out interviews and letters elling what they intend to do, Colonel Stone has been hard at work making successful fights for delegates. Thus far he has not faiied in a single county where the issue has been a square one of Stone and anti-Stone. In Chester county the Wanamaker men had a perfect organization and made a fierce fight in every district in the county.

The Wanamaker leaders in that locality assured the merchant that he would carry the county beyond the shadow of a doubt. But he didn't, and now they talk of primaries that "fail to' register the will of the people." It is conceded on all sides that Stone has elements of strength not possessed by any of the other candidates. His views upon the question of immigration and his known sympathy with and friendship for workingmen have gained him friends in every section of the Staite. WANAMAKER MEN. Stone thus looms up as the only man, so far, with personal strength and popularity enough to win the Republican nomination.

An indignant member of the Business Men's League yesterday characterized the Swallow movement a at Wanamaker." "The purpose," he said, "is not that they want to help Swallow so much as they want to Wanamaker. Herbert Welsh is apparently the leading spirit of the Swallow movement in Philadelphia, and his political antipathy to Wanamaker is well known. His criticisms of Wanamaker in his paper have prepared people for just such a step as has been taken. It must delight Quay to witness this break-up and division of the independent opposition to him. If it proves fatal to Wanamaker, Quay has much to thank Welsh and Swallow for." It is incomprehensible to this innocent man.

It is perfectly clear to those that wish to see. Swallow and Welsh may be against Quay, but they have no desire for an alliance with the combines of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, witn the State administration or with the Martins, the Ma-gees, the Leaches and the Van Valken-burgs and the Blankenburgs. MISS GAULT WILL WTN. Delaware county politics are stirring up now and the news was brought to this city yesterday that Miss would shortly be appointed postmistress of Media. Editor lliggins, of the Morning Republican, is likely to be made postmaster of Chester.

Congressman Butler, while much annoyed at the reports concerning the Media Postoffice, has said nothing lately on the subiect and months ago he notified the male applicants at that place that the ap-nnintment would eo to Miss Gault. as the wife of the President had made a personal request to have her Miss Gault nd' Mrr.J.EdTd-wdbridge will be the guests of at the White House earlv next inonth. Judge Clayton, like ex-Senator Cooper, is for harmony, and while still allied to the political fortunes of ex-Congressman Robinson, deprecates the latter's interest in Cooper's candidacy for Governor, and in an interview naively argues that in the event of Mr. Cooper's nomination it will be the dutv of every Republican newspaper in the State to place Cooper's name at the editorial mast-head and keep it there until his election. CLAYTON'S SARCASM.

Cooper, in the Judge's last contest for the bench, took down Clayton's name, hence the sarcasm of his Honor. Judge Clayton, in sneaking of Congressman Butler, indorses that gentleman's Congressional course, and while still friendly with Mr. Robinson, has stated that the Chester county man having won the election in 1896 is entitled to the full six years, and so far as he is concerned he will support him. The primary election in Delaware county will taKe place on Tuesday and the convention on the day following. It promises to be very warm, for the reason that there has been a break among the leaders.

Pro-thonotarv William L. Mathues has joined his forces with those of ex-Collector Cooper and Jack Robinson for the overthrow first of William Henry Sayen. On the other hand. State Senator William C. Sproul, Judge Thomas J.

Clayton and Mayor Black and William J. McClure have espoused the cause of Mr. Sayen, but they will turn up the delegates in the Stat convention for Congressman William A. Stone, who is their true candidate for Governor. There is a mixture for the local candidates and the indications are that Dr.

Thomas D. Young will win for Recorder, George Patchell for Register of Wills, Thomas Minshall for Coroner. There will be no opposition to the slated delegates from Delaware county to the State convention; they are the friends of Judge Clayton and will do as he says. Ernest Trndell's Suicide "Suicide while temporarily insane" was the verdict of the Coroner's jury yesterday in the case of Ernest Trudell, aged 26. of Federal street, who killed himself on Fridav by taking poison.

The man was found dving in a secluded spot in Fairmount Park and expired after tbeing removed to the hospital. Trudell had complained to his wife of having pains in the head. He was only working half time. The Father Fainted The Coroner heard evidence yesterday in the rase of William Winn, aged 7, of 1084 Beach street, who was run down and killed on Thursday by a train at Beach and Shackamaxon streets. The little fellow was running after another boy when he was killed.

His father fainted when he learned of the fate he met. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental death. DERISION AND SCORN. For Those Who Speak Against Popular Habits. One hundred years ago, ministers and laymen alike, were accustomed to use some spirits as well as tobacco, and the one who 6poke disparagingly of either of the famous nullifiers of good intentions, was sure to bring down on himself derision and scorn, but the hard, cold facts move along in a most uncompromising way, and those who persist in placing themselves in the road, are gTound up with a more or less degree of promptitude.

The same conditions to-day surround the drug we know of as coffee. The self-respecting individual dislikes to hear ill reports of hrs favorite but that does not alter the fact that the physical aches, ails and miseries of tens of thousands of good people come "from the little suspected coffee pot. Ten days to a month trial without coffee and the use of Postum Food Coffee in its place will prove the facts and good bounding health is well worth the experiment. Postum well brewed, is delicious and gives one the-exact kind of food needed to rebuild the body in a most perfect manner. $7.45 szzr Vice-President of the Massachusetts Total Abstinence Society," Mrs.

S. Louise Barton, of 4 Union Park Boston, says: "I am glad to give my testimony in regard to the great worth of Dr. Greene's Nervura. Two years ago my husband and myself, both slowly recovering from a severe illness, found ourselves unable to sleep, and becoming, by reason of this, so nervous and weak as greatly to retard our recovery. By the advice of a friend (after trying various other remedies) we began to take Dr.

Greene's Nervura. It acted like a charm, giving us refreshing slumber and also returning strength. I had been troubled with dyspepsia and found, to my surprise, that as my strength returned I was being cured of this disease also. I have relied on it ever 6ince when wearied with my brain work, and found it the best thing I have ever tried." Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, wife of the Greatest Preacher and Divine that ever lived, knew and told the wonderful sO0l Dr.

Greene's Nervura is doing. Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, whose name is revered and honored by everybody, wrote to the people out of deep regard for humanity and an earnest desire to restore the weak, tired, feeble, nervous and suffering, again to health and strength: "1 have given some of Dr. Greene's Nervura to several friends who I thought would be benefited by it. They speak highly of it, and feel they have been much benefited by its use.

These people are very responsible witnesses as to the beneficial character of the medicine, and I am ready to vouch for the honesty of their approval of Dr. Greene's Nervura. If needed in my own case. I certainly should use it." Remember also that Dr. Greene, 35 West 14th New York City, can be consulted free, personally or by letter.

which the message was destined. Once given its liberty, the intelligent and home-loving little flyer would do the rest. During a war with Spain it is probable that a majority of the most important naval engagements would be fought within 3U miles of the Florida coast. Tjnder such circumstances, two hours from the time a bird was liberated from a warship it could be in Key West or Jacksonville and three minutes later its message would be in Washington. The government has already decided to adopt homing pigeons as a part of its lighthouse equipment, and it is altogether likely that they will become valuable adjunct? of the United States Navy.

A war with Spain would certainly furnish an opportunity to determine their practical worth for war purposes, and fanciers all over the country are sparing no effort to induce the government to give the birds a trial. Philadelphia is in the lead, however, and it is practically a foregone conclusion that the first of the flyers used will come from Philadelphia lofts. To the Readers of The Inquirer an Extraordinary Offer Is Made Ten days ago we announced to readers of The Inquirer that we would shortly offer a remarkable series of photographs of Alaska and Northwest Territory, embracing the Yukon Valley, the Chilkoot, Skaguav and Dalton trails, and the "Over-lsmd" Water Route to the Klondike country. The promise has been fulfilled. Last Saturday Part 1 of a series of six ptts was announced as ready for distribution among Inquirer readers.

The reception met with by Portfolio was gratifying in the extreme. For the benefit of thos whose attention has not been attracted by the announcement previously published in The Inquirer a description of "En Koute to the Klondike" here given.
