The prealdent has written a.

personal letter to the general to express to him the sense of loss which will be felt at the necessity for his retirement Preparations have been made In the war department and throughout the army, for a K'ave taking of the general that Is likely to be an event in the social history of our military establishment. He GEN. J. M. BCHOFIELD.

will receive more tokena of esteem than have been presented to any officer of high rank for years, on the occasion of his retirement. Among them is an ex qulsite gold watch and a diamond hllted sword. Gen. Schofleld is a native of Canan dalgua Chautauqua county, N. T.

His Rraduatlon at West Point occurred In 18M. Seven years later he was made professor of physics at Washington university, St Loula. In 1863 he was made brigadier of volunteers, and year later was promoted to a major ireneralship. Before this he had been honored by the slate of Missouri with the rank of brigadier general of its militia. Gen.

Schofleld took part in the leading engagements of the Atlan ta campaign, and after the capture of the city of Atlanta he was placed under uen. Thomas In command of the forces W' 1 i I IN GEN SCHOFIELD'S APART MENT8. which opposed the movement of Oen. Hood toward Nashville.

0h As': a Such an outline of his career as this gives no idea whatever of the person' allty of the man. Yet, Gen. Sherman often said that he had come across un daunted courage frequently, Invincible courage now and then, but he had no idea what cool courage was until he met Schofleld. An incident that first called attention to this quality in the man occurred when the future soldier had barely taken a regiment to the war. He and his men were resting after kirmlsh In southern Tennessee.

Hood was expected to move northward and his skirmishing parties were known to be hovering near. Schofleld happened to be raising a tin mug full of water to his lips when a bullet sped clean through it. Then' the men sprang to their feet, but Schofleld paid not the lightest attention to the Incident. The NELSON A'. MILES.

water trickled through the hole made the mug, and Sehofleld quietly drank off the liquid. It was a small event perhaps, but the account of It spread. When asked about the future, the general said he hod no settled plans. He will. In all probability, live quietly at his country home for a time, and may go abroad.

He by no means pro poses to abandon his Interest in mat tors military On the contrary, he has now quite a labratory and work shop, in which every known device for use in war is to be seen In mtnature. The time he has devoted to matters of this sort hss absorbed much of his money, too, and Gen Schofleld leaves he army a poor man, dependent prac lcally on his pension. The veteran has often been requested te write his memoirs, and It Is possible that a portion of the leisure of his old age will be devoted to this, at least to literary work of some kind. Gen. Schofleld haa been twice married.

In 1888, several years after the death of his first wife, he married a beautiful young lady of the west, who has proved herself one the most entertaining society leaders at the The question of who will succeed Oen. Schofleld has stirred up much feeling among the friends of Generals Miles and Ruger, each of whom claims to be entitled to the honors. The title of lieutenant general, which congress gave to Oen. Schofleld, ends with htm unless congress repeats the act for his successor. LANDAUER TROUPE.

Remarkable Flexible Models. Now With Ringllng Big Circus. Among the high class rate features of the great European circuses during the past two or three years, nothing has attracted so much attention and aroused so much enthusiasm ss the Landauer troupe of flexible models which Is now making Its first tour of America, with Rlngllng World's Greatest Shows. The troupe comprises nine artists, all of whom are experts in their line. Statue acts on a small scale are more or less familiar to the people of the United States; bpt nothing on the colossal scale of the performance given by the Landauers has ever been seen in this country.

The act opens with a remarkable reproduction of a fa mous fountain from one of the leading capitals of Europe. In this striking pic ture a large amount of paraphernalia is used, and the human figures, all Her culean In form, the curious dolphins, gushing streams of sparkling water.and the remarkable simulation of sculptured marble, all combine to produce an ef fect beautiful beyond description. This striking picture is followed by a series of reproductions, embracing classic and modern statuary slid lofty human pyramids. It Is an act which dellghtts all lovers of the beautiful In art and nature and wherever it has been seen It has provoked unbounded admiration. In securing this great feature itlngllng tiros, have had In mind the Importance of not only maintaining their past reputation as the leading amusement purveyors of America, but also of empha sising their recognized policy of making each recurring season's exhibition greater, grander and more comprehen s.ve than.

that of the previous year. In this commendable ambition they have succeeded beyond all comparison, and It can safely be snid that never before, In the history of amusement enterprises, has there been an exhibition to compare with Rlngllng circus for 1895. In orenlo features. In great gymnasts and riders, and. In fact, In everything that goes to make up a great exhibition, they have surpassed even their own hitherto une qualed efforts.

The two performances to be given in flprluglleld, Saturday. October will lie events lone to be re mem'ierea. Purchased a Laugh For $50. A society girl, one of whose greatest attractions Is a soft.

1895. TWO MS USED POWDER Victims of Green Goods Gang Aimed Badly. Three Men and a Woman Ply Their Trade Under Police Wings. "Queen of the Banco SteererV Led Two Southerners Into a Trap. Aides In Bobbing Them.

NEW YORK. Sept 25. purlng the past summer a gang of green good swindlers, consisting of three men and a woman, known as the "Queen of the Bunko Stecrers," made their headquar ters in a hotel near the New Jersey Southern railroad depot at Long Branch. The gang is said to have had profitable season and Friday night entertained two Virginians, John Cole man and William Treaut. Tresut and Coleman had received the usual green goods circulars.

They were offered 13,000 In green goods money for 00 in gold money and agreed to come north. When they got off at Long Branch they were met in front of the station by the 'Queen" and she brought them to the hotel after giving them the Ign agreed upon. Treaut and Coleman were taken to a room in the upper part of the house. They were shown genu ine money amounting to 13,000 which was placed In a small Iron box. The countrymen said they were satisfied with the money and would give for It.

They had not noticed that the box had been placed on the floor near small hole. While one of the green goods men engaged Treaut and Cols man In conversation the box was slip ped through this hole and was replaced by another. This was handed to the two Southern ers. They were cautioned not to open the box until they reached their homes. In Cumberland, as tbey might be ar rested.

Tickets were purchased for them. They were placed on board train bound for Eatontown, seven miles from Long Branch, and were told they could get a train there for Cum berland. On reaching Eatontown the dupes learned that they could make no connection with Cumberland that way. Having no money to pay their way back to Long Branch they decided to open the box. On doing so they found it con talned a genuine 11 bill and green pa per cut the size of the bank note.

Then dawned upon the man Coleman that they had been swindled. They both walked back to Long Branch and entered the hotel. The green goods men were having a quiet game of poker, while "the Queen" look ed on. One of the gang had Just remark ed that the two Virginians were easy, when the latter came In on them. They demanded their money and said they would shoot drawing two big pistols from their hip pockets.

The Southern era fired about a dosen shots. During the excitement the "Queen" escaped, as did two of the gang, but Charles Oxx, the third member, was arrested. He was making an attempt to get away when State Detective Frank Stryker, of Red Bank, put In an appearance. Treaut and Coleman were locked up, they being held as witnesses. Oxx snd the two Virginians were arraigned before Judge Slocum yesterday to answer the charge of selling and buy green goods.

Oxx was held in $1,000 ball to await the action of the Monmouth county grand Jury. Treaut and Coleman were each locked up In default of $500 ball as witnesses. It haa been learned that "Mike Ryan," one of the swindles, drove to a point about ten miles to the north of Long Branch and took a train for this city. The "Queen" took a southbound train with a large trunk. It Is impossible for her to get any further than Point Pleasant.

The trunk was taken from the train as it was about to pull out. and Detective Btryker found in it a quantity of wearing apparel and an opium layout. Prosecutor of the Pleas Ivlna haa sent officers on the hunt for the woman and the men. There is Intense Indignation among the people of Long Branch, as they say that the police have had knowledge of the gang's presence for the last six months, but made no effort to drive them out. Alderman McKenna la particularly bitter In his denunciation of the police, and says that no efforts were made to maintain law and order during the aummcr.
