JOSHtA STATSSFIELD AT MERIDIAN-STREET CHIRCH. He Dlscaaees the Drink Habit from Varloaa Standpoints Social and easiness Life. The Rev. Joshua Stansfield delivered an interesting sermon at the Meridian-street Church yesterday morning, his subject being "An Urgent Temperance Problem." The discourse was a lengthy one and he paid much attention to local conditions. He urged personal pledges to total abstinence, the unwisdom of licensing the saloon, the need of enforcement of liquor laws, etc. In part he said: "The drink problem Is, financially, socially and morally, the greatest problem before the American people, and as one of the most difficult of all the centuries it is pre-eminently our problem. Our problem; and who are we? A descended people, with an ancesiry going back to the best God could produce through the struggles of centuries. English puritar.isin, 8cotch Presbyterianism, German Protestantism and the best of Waldensian and Moravian, blood and thought in our life, it is no wonder that as e. people we are taller and intellectually an j morally, stronger, brighter, braver tv.an any other people and have commercially, a productive power three and a half times that of some European countries. But is there no high purpose in such capacity? Do nations and peoples rise and fall by fate or by the divine forces of righteousness? Is there no philosophy of history? Does not our power spell out our responsibility, and is not Christian America to lead to the world's emancipation from that awful paradox, the Christian vice of intemperance, for drunkenness is the marked vice of Christian civilization. What does this mean? Does it mean that intoxicants work widest, swiftest ruin upon the potentially bighest and best natures. History would so affirm; and it is observable that in proportion to their numbers a larger percentage of professional men are ruined by liquor than any other class. Drunkenness is a blähest civilization vice and It rl.irlv UYoTves upon the highest in that civilization to destroy it. We that are strong ought. "But our text rightly affirms that through wine and strong drink we have erred, and gone out of the way. "We have erred. First, in our estimates of this evil, and, second, in our attacks upon it. "First We have erred in our estimates as to the physical worth of intoxicating drinks and are deluded by high priced and persistent advertisements to ignore the findings cf science, and the warnings of the finest physicians as to the dangers of alcohol, and its worse than worthlessness as a food. "Second We have erred in our estimates and the personal and family danger from the use, of wint and strong drink. Strong men and women who have struggled up from comparative poverty, and in their struggles have delevoped moral as well as material resources, may, if they so choose, take wine, beer or any other fiery ingredient into their life with little personal risk, but what of their children and grand children with no such struggles and often pampered and eased to the point of moral enervation. The ravages of liquor are in thousands of such homes. I venture to say that out of this large body of representative families there are not eight persons whose lives have not been more or less intimately scorched by the fires of Intemperance. Rum ruins. "8econd We hare 'erred in our attacks upon this evil, (a) And as underlying all. there has net been sufficient of personal and persistetit pronouncement of our own total abstlnance from liquor, (b) In the name of personal liberty some strong men have insisted upon their right to drink, notwithstanding the awful tendencies and dangers to themselves, their families and others. Further, we have not made It sufficiently known as the rule of our household and its social interchanges that no Intoxicants are to be thought of as tolerated, (c) We have not frowned upon the use of liquor by others, thus making it less and less reputable to drink. It can easily be conceived that if the evangelical Protestant Christians of America had been at all tiue to the ideals and standards of the church life it would have been far less respectable to drink than it now seems to be. (d It has thus become a sad fact that many of our homes have been blighted and scorched for 'God is not mocked, whatsoever men sow that they also reap.' IN A SOCIAL WAY " 'We have erred and gone out of the way' that is the highest-known way, in dealing with this evil socially, in the social functions of life the demon of liquor seems to be forever on the aggressive, and from the White House except Christians such as President, and Mrs. Hayes shall block the way down to some or your smallest aping literary or social circles wine must be sipped anil its praises sung without any regard to the taste and sense and conscience of Christian people, but it still is and forever will be true that for every worthy Christian, man and woman, the Tight side up of the wine glass is 'upside down.' The shame is that It should be there at all. In ices and foods. In liquids and solids, the demon of li.juor pushes his way in social life; and my people love to have it so. 'It's proier. you know.' and to be 'proper' and in 'good form" is to many in these days a thousand times more important than to be right. We have erred also in our business life, first In not showing a more determined opposition to the opening f saloons near our offices and places of business, and. second, and more markedly, in personally using, or being a party to the sale or furnishing of liquors in the clubs of which we are members. An utterance of Ir. Goodwin in the Journal of last Thursday week is timely at this point and may well be heeded. The old proverb. 'Like master like man.' holds true, and drinking In the clubs and no small amount of this is reported in our city it will certainly be true that there will be drinking and drunkenness with the poorer classes outside the clubs. The saloon as the 'poor man's club.' so-called, has a strong hold with sum. . But not alone In the clubs, but in the aaslly accessible saloons which honeycomb our business sections, so many 'business man' are said to be drinkers and patrons that the suggestion is quite general that to be a business man is to be a saloon patron, secret or avowed. A shameful slander this, w believe, of hundreds of tuu

best business men of the city and such ought to make It known. "Third We have erred In dealing with the evil in our civic and political life. That the evil is In our civic and political life none can gainsay, and few even attempt to. According to frequent statements of the dally and weekly press, of all parties and in every section of the country this is emphatically affirmed, and Its evils pointed out and deplored. Nay. verily. In every license State in the Union we not only recognize this, but for a money consideration we license and declare Its right to be. Here we have 'erred and gone out of the way' most grievously. That which personalis, in our families and socially, upon physical and financial and moral grounds, we hold to be wrong and tending thereto, we should seek to put and keep under the ban of an enlightened mor.I judgment. To license a public danger and wrong, for a money consideration, is poor statesmanship and

bad morals. "It is here pre-eminently that we have 'erred and gone out of the way' that is, 'the way' of an enlightened moral Judgment, which is always God's way. The licensing of the sale of intoxicants, the use of which gives us most of our pauperism and seven-tenths of our crime, is a, political blunder and a moral offense the most stupendous and far-rear hing any thoughtful and moral man can contemplate in this our complex civilization. Brothers, it was this enlightened moral sense which led our own great church to affirm: 'It can never be licensed without sin.' an utterance as sound in morals as it la prophetic of the some day certain standing of Christian America and the Christian world. It is unsafe, it is immoral to se a wrong. Brothers, it is this league with death and hell which pains many a Christian conscience. We ought to end it. "But say, some well-meaning men, the purpose of the license Is not to legalize but to restrict the evil. We answer in passing that whatever the purpose of license may be two facts ere clear. First, that it does legalize the business and protect men In it the awful business of making drunknrds; and, second, it does not decrease either the amount of drinking or of drunkenness. We have yet to learn of the first city in the Union where high license has obtained for four consecutive years where there has not been an increase in both drinking and drunkenness as seen in the amount consumed and in the arrests for crime. "I rejoice to note that even in our license legislation there is evident an intense purpose to restrict the ravages of liquor, and there are many stringent provisions for this, which, any law-abiding citizen carefully reading, would say. 'Surely this will do it.' but whatever the future of license legislation may be the past can at no point glory in it as 'temperance legislation,' except, indeed, at its initial point, for it was born of a temperance worker and introduced as a temperance measure; but over his own signature its author deplored his action as one of the most serious, though well-meant blunders of his life work, and it is at least suggestive that his 'high license' child, discarded by its own parents, has been warmly embraced by, I believe, every liquor organ in the country. DESTROYS PUBLIC CONSCIENCE. "Further, as a duller and destroyer of public conscience the licensing of liquor is to be deeply deplored. By this 'blood money' O the shame of it we help educate our children and pave our streets as well as in part police our cities. The sum total of such 'blood money from our 500 or more saloons is publicly paraded every year as a magnificent public asset; but never at such times is there any attempt to show the full cost to city, county and State of the ravages of legalized liquor. Where we receive $1 for license the country pays out another $12 on the ruinous traffic. But, we repeat, there is in 'license legislation' an evident desire to restrict, as witness the stringent provisions of our 'Nicholson' law in Indiana; restrictions as to places and hours at and during which liquor may be sold; the character of tie person licensed to sell and the persons to whom he must not sell. "The law abounds with restrictions, limitations and prohihitions. Its strength is in its prohibitions, as is indeed the strength of every so-called 'license' law. And if instead of licensing the sale and then trying to 'regulate' the workings of it you would outlaw the whole traffic your prohibition as a whole would be far more easy and effective. "As a member of the School Board said in my hearing the other day S46.OU0 from licenses for education: 'I disapprove of your anti-saloon movement and all such; better leave the legalized saloons alone and direct your efforts against the 136 unlicensed drug stores and such, from which the city gets no revenue, but much drinking.' Is this known to be so? I am assured that it is. Then your boasted license laws are as bad or worse in their falure to suppress illicit sales of liquor as any prohibitory law of any State or Territory in the Union But if such places are known why is nothing done to suppress them? And echo answ-rs, Why? "Carried out. then, your prohibitory features of a license law, as a proposition that is reasonable and as history in prohibition and license territory, it is a fact. Men often tell us that prohibition does not prohibit, but it should not be forgotten that a prohibitory law in any State of the Union I has been far more fully carried out than nave an me pronimtory ieaiures or a license law in any State of like strength and standing. "Take the provisions of our present Indiana license law on the moral character of the man who may sell, the kind of place, the hours of sale, between 5 a. m. and 11 p. m., and not at all on Sundays, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving day. Christmas day. New Year's day, election day or on any legal holiday. He shall not sell to minors, persons under twenty-one years of age, to any drunken person or, upon information, to any person habitually a drunkard, etc., etc. Add to this the local-option feature of the law, by and through the power of remonstrance, whereby a majority of voters in any locality may make it impossible for the commissioners to grant or to renew a saloon license, etc. And yet, with all this, where do we stand? Nominally Christian men, attorneys for saloonists and large liquor dealers, are openly or secretly allied to the liquor power. If our strength as Christian churches were virtually as it is numerically we would purge the commonwealth in a twelvemonth. "I ask, again, with all our license law, where do we stand? A city, one of the most Intelligent and cultured of all the middle West, openly and confessedly, through our dally journals, indicting Itself for months past with increasing drunkenness and gambling and allied vices; and, be It remembered, that gambling, that selfish, heartless, ruinous evil, gambling, in almost every place, is reported as at or near a legalized saloon. 'Wine and strong drink, through which.' as our text affirms, ro many err and go out of the way,' you will And as a source and feeder of every other public evil anil vice. What do we find? We find the administration and police power of the city, with presumably a full knowledge of all this for surely they are as capable and have as many facilities for finding out facts as have private citizens and reputable newspapers yet. with all this, there is a painful and shameful absence of effort, or an intermittent spurt, accompanied with remarkable coincidences of prescience on the part of some of the reputed worst offenders and places in the city. CHRISTIAN CITIZENS. "But, again, on this temperance question, what have we? We have, I believe, a splendid body of intelligent Christian citizens in Indianapolis whose conscience has been lulled to sleep; who. if aroused from their slumber, will make again this fair city, in public morals, as well as clean streets, what her worthy son. Benjamin Harrison, rightly regarded her to be. no mean city.' By a federation of church and moral forces, such as is contemplated in the reconstruction of the now Anti-saloon League of the State, we believe much can be done looking toward the DM rsistent enforcement of existing laws and the final outlawry of the legalized saloon. We believe that, by su h n f.. .wrntion of forces, stroiur initiative ! mav be taken in local polici. and politics; that the arrogance of machine politics may be rebuked, and that the supineness of recreant officers may be ended by bringing in, if needs be. Independent candidates ftüljr, frankly, openly committed to a fair, learless and persistent enforcement of our ordinances and laws. We believe that, bypersistent and well-directed efforts. 1,000 saloons may be closed by remonstrance, and by the very effectiveness of the law we can best demonstrate its vitality and desirability, thus preventing any likelihood of its mutilation by any future legislation. "This, then, as we now see it. is our urgent tempt ranee problem to-day: "First A personal pledging of ourselves and our households to total abstinence from the use of intoxicating liquors and to discountenance their use in the community, in social and business life. Second To declare for oorsehr , and thus lead others also to feel, the unwisdom I and Immorality of licensing the saloon. 1 and to hold ourselves steadily towards the complete outlawry of the liquor traffic. "Third To bring active influence to bear toward the creation of a local public conscience for the enforcement of existing laws. "Fourth To keep our vision clear by frequent thinking before and talks with our God upon this matter. 'Fifth According to our strength and standing, morally, socially, commercially, financially, to a eept and lire out th high Christian ethK-, 'Ts that are strong ought,' and thus lead in effective temperance work."

APPROVES NEW LEAGUE

REV. J. CVnOM SMITH CALLS I POX CITIZENS TO INDORSE IT. An Inif reitinz Sermon in the Morning at the Tabernacle on "The Higher Stewardship.' Rev. J. Currming Smith as a prelude to his morning sermon yesterday urged Christian citizens to indorse the new Citizens' League that has ben formed to help local politics up to a higher level and to see that men of buslnesb capacity and unblemished record are on the party tickets. It is modeled after similar leagues in Baltimore, Cleveland and Chicago. It is not a new party, which is no more needed than a new religi n. Whether It will stimulate a new condition of things and eliminate national party lines from municipal elections time alone will tell, he said. The theme of his sermon was "The Higher Stewardship." Matthew xlx. 16-22. He said: "Here is the picture of a fine young Jew brilliant in talent, Dlessed with wealth, inflamed with an aspiration not perhaps untinged with romance, and he offers his services to Jesus. The alloy of a lower ambition for political distinction no doubt enters into his dreams, but all human motives are mixed, and the sight is certainly a noble one of strenuous young life Inquiring the conditions of the new kingdom soon to be founded. Most heirs of wealth drown their ambition In sluggardlines6. Some are enervated by sumptuous living. Some are corrugated by fashionable vice. A young man sprung from the finest stock and thirsting for virile work is always an inspiring spxtacle. And Jesus touches the sensitive nerve by asking him for a total surrender of his equipment. It looked like telling the chandelier to do its work by generating its dazzling light. But it was not. Let us remember that exposition has marred the completeness and blunted the edge of this scene. He was not an unsaved man. He had been regenerated by the life of God, which works on planes Just as the sun works on planes. For on the sunny p'ope of a mountain there are successive levels, and the sun warms and thrills the plants or birds or insects on each level to tholr appropriate development. Down at the base one clime rules, and the sun fives blrih to blooms that find their native element there. Midway up the hillside another zone rules and the sun brings out to flowerage the plants that are native to that clime. It is the same force of the sun that operates on these different levelr. So of the world at large. It has infinite zones, infinite climates, infinite levels. It is the same love of God that gives birth and movement to every man according to the level o: knowledge he enjoys. And so the saved young Jew moved on the plane of Jewish faith. He sought a way to God along the plainmarked, foot-beaten path of legalism. We do not blame him. It was his heredity, his environment, his necessity. We all require to reorganize our crude ideas of regeneration or the breath of God's deep life upon the secret life of men. He who heads toward God is born again; he who loves is born again; he who seeks the culture of the heart must be born again. But each one Is bcrn on his own plane. Kach one has his own amount of illumination and authentic experience. A SAVED MAN. "Therefore, the young, ardent Jew was a saved man; but he came to a crisis when an opportunity opened for an enlargement of his sphere and a widening of the orbit of his influence. He must rise to a distinct new life by laying his estate on the altar. He turned away tearful with regret. The condition was too exacting. He was not a lost man because he turned away; he was simply like ten thousand other Christians who have lost the chance of life by closing some gate leading to noble, heroic endeavor. "So far for the philosophy of the new birth. Notice how it pivots on property. No doubt the young man had a dim sense of obligation toward the world because of his resplendent fortune. But his reason needed puncturing Just there. No man liveth to himself. No man acquireth money by himself. He uses his own brain; then he uses the skill of other men; then all use nature as the base of operation and the source of all wealth. Consequently a man has partners in his enterprises. This is the vein of sociology. Men are brethren whether they admit It or not. Hence to act in concert seems common sense. It 's not socialism ordinarily understood. It is the opposite of anarchy. The dream of running a lawn roller over society and pressing down all to the same monotonous level, or the dream of dividing wealth by some arbitrary standard, or of obliterating the fun damental inequalities of men such absurd dreams seldom haunt men s minds to-day. But another and by no means a kindred dream does. It Is co-operation: the sense of combination and confederation of talent to achieve a purpose. Instead of receding from thlw as the marching world has from a hundred fictions of the past, the world's het thought is reaching nearer and nearer it. Of course, all partnership presupposes some congeniality. A reasonable employer can never affiliate with a hot-headed, querulous, disgruntled employe. All combinations presuppose character and similarity of interest to some degree. Hence, while I believe in co-operation as an ideal by and by to materialize, I believe it will come with a velocity determined altogether by the Increase of intelligence. You can't push and strain your fine schemes of brotherhood too fast, any more than you can hurry your apple tree to Its fruits or your rose to its last bloom. It takes time for the best things to ripen. It Is the old law of evolution. It is God. How llngeringly, like a lover, everything in nature waits for its final beauty! A millennium that leaped into perfection in a century would the century after precipitate the tragedies of revolutions. All men are brothers, partners, co-operative. This theory, born of God and lodged in noble hearts, can effloresce into actuality only as you educate society in the deeper qualities of the heart. OWES IT TO HIS FELLOWS. "Now then, every man who has acquired power owes its luster or utility to his fellows in the last analysis. A magnate owes his world. God sends him the bill. But God first claims him. Some bystander might have carelessly criticised Jesus for letting the young Jew go grieving away, and with him the chance of letting loose so much wealth on a needy world. But Jesus did not count his shekels. They would all circulate sooner or later by a law of trade. Nature is nothing but circulation. Rivers cannot be dammed up. Mountains cannot chain clouds. Birds carry seeds. Summer prairies cannot hoard harnt, as it eradiates at night. No. Jesus diu not cast envious eyes on the young man's vaults. He wanted the young man himself, and then a volume of noble moral power would be set free upon society. He put the emphasis on the primary of manhood. H'e craved a consecration that would carry the bank stock. hat an opportunity! "To-day Jesus claims consecrated manhood, and thereby a consecrated money power. Magnates are rivals in their princely baqucsts A fine infection of liberality is passing like a quiet epidemic among millionaires. Some pry back of gifts into the motives of the donors. This is malicious spy work. In such a chaotic world as ours we must not be too delicate, but must encourage every burst of splendid J action, and only be sorry ir some seinshpos ma mar it If the prick Of wound, d pride, or the spur ot fanu-. ..r th.- r.-v.-lt i from the harsh features of commercialism in. iv have prompted the donation, let the world thank the givers and strive gently to exalt the motives. Whatever the mainspring of benevolence is now, the motive j urged by 'hri?t was conscience and love. The rich man is under obligation to his fellows. They helped him to his height. Thev reinforced his genius. To expend or be lüeath his fortune, therefore, under the in- Ion ot a noble indebtedness and an appreciation of the large partnership of humanity is -nvine. it is aiso deepest economical "science which includes the ethical and religious factors. Hence men do not require to keep grinding themselves all through life in the mere function of amassing wealth. Multl-mil-llonalres have abundance. Why not retire? To live for bread alone Is a dog's life. It is the ideal of the stye. It Is lordly, obese materialism. To augment the mind, to enricn our higher nature, to enter Into questions on whose solution hangs the happiness of cities, these are worthy enthusiasms for retired capitalists. 'An aristocracy is quietly crystallizing In America; in our nervous, high-strung life a lordly class will help it It only keeps

in touch with the mass of life. We need a class of leisure to inspire our literature and foster our religious faiths, and shower everywhere benignant hopes. There are municipal problems calling for weighty and experienced citisens to wrestle with them. Our millionaires deserve to enjoy their treasured fortunes, but the noblest enjoyment will come from the conviction that their fortunes belong to God and men; and when, with wisdom and judicious care, they disburse their resources to gladden others, they will have th- proud joy that philanthropy gives like unfailing music to every consecrated soul.'' Revival at Trinity Church. At the Trinity Congregational Church yesterday Evangelist Lyon preached twice to audiences that filled the church to overflowing. At night a large number of people were turned away. There were sixty conversions at the morning and evening services. The revival meeting will be continued all this week. LEGACY LEFT BY CHRIST

IT IS ENJOYED BY MEX WHO REJECT THE GIVER. The Rev. M. L. Haines Compares Them to Roman Soldiers Who Threw Dice for Christ's Garments. The Rev. M. L. Haines, of the First Presbyterian Church, In preaching yesterday morning on "Appropriating Gifts of Christianity and Ignoring the Giver," took as his text a verse of that chapter of Matthew which tells of the tragedy of Calvary and some scenes which followed the crucifixion, "When they had crucified Him they patted his garments among them." In substance. Dr. Haines said: "These words bring before us this scene of scenes in clear vision. We stand on the hill outside the walls of Jerusalem on that never-to-be-forgotten day In the world's history. Uplifted on the tree of the cross we see the suffering Son of God offering His life for the redemption of the world. The sight of that suffering figure on the central cross has so monopolized attention that we have failed to notice other parts of the scene. "Directly In front of the cross was the group of Roman soldiers, four in number. To them fell the effects of criminals executed as perquisites, and so thev divided among themselves the garments of Jesus. What a picture! The Son of God atoning for the sins of the world, and within a few feet of His sacred person the soldiers in absolute indifference to Him. throwing dice for His raiment! They appropriated to their own use and comfort His garments, while at the same time they rejected Him. TRUE TO-DAY. "And yet, though that is the story of something that happened one day long ago in that far-away land, it is the story of what is happening every day in every city of this land. It is exemplified in the lives of men who appropriate to their own use and enjoyment the riches of the legacy Christ left to the world and ignore Him trom whom those riches came for Jesus Christ has bequeathed the richest legacy ever left to the race. "This fact of history is bevond question. With the appearance of Jesus Christ in Palestine there began for the world a new era. Think of what human society outside of the churches in lands that have, under the influence of Jesus Christ, has had imparted to it by Him. The highest civilizations on earth have to a degree which few realize clothed themselves in garments which Christ has furnished. They, like these soldiers, have made themselves the legatees of truths, dispositions and purposes which came from Him. I mean to affirm that the best things in the highest civilizations of the earth are the things we owe to Christ. The modern world, outside of churches as well as inside, owes to the Teacher of Galilee its brightest thoughts of the unseen God, Its highest ideas of man's relations with God both here and hereafter, and its deepest thoughts of man in his relations with his fellow-men. True, the elements and germs of these great id. as and ideals were in the world before Jesus Christ came, but 'there is a wonderful newness in the place into which He lifted them.' BROTHERHOOD OF MAN. "Take the truth of men as common chil dren of one infinite Father, and forming one brotherhood. That idea of humanity we owe more to Jesus Christ than any other person. Plato did not believe that God made of one blood every nation to dwell on the face of the earth. Out of this Christ idea of human brotherhood came naturally that humane spirit which, in proportion as it has spread and infused itself into the lives of men. has done so much to lift up the race; and that spirit of human sympathy, springing from a recognition of the brotherhood of man. is what gives us the greatest ground of hope in our struggle with the evils of our time and the corruption and injustices of our modern civilization. "The Rev. Oscar McCulloch. you will remember, used to refer to that 'Bank of Sympathy' upon which we might draw to provide for the needs of the poor and the broken in our city, and he did not appeal in vain. One of the glories of our city is that if you make a case of real human need plain, no draft upon the bank of the people's sympathy will be dishonored. Now that could not happen in Rome even in the days of Augustus, or in Athens even in the days of Aristotle. "This, then, is one of the appeals which Jesus Christ makes to thinking men in our day who wrap themselves about In the veryvesture of that life. The essential principles and spirit which form the woof of the best elements of our modern civilization are given by Mm. What right have men to use and enjoy all this and then shut their eyes and turn away from Him? What right have they to turn from Him from whom most of all they have comes? He who was rich beyond all estimation became poor, allowed himself to be stripped of all His wealth, that through His poverty we might be clothed with garments of salvation." THE THEATERS.

THE IRON BRIGADE

A STORY OF THE ARMY OF THE CHAPTER XXII. "CAPTAIN BENTON. YOU'RE A COWARD!' "A spy in camp," was what the brigade said when It heard the story that came from Washington, and "hopping mad"' was the brigade. Its fur had been rubbed the wrong way by the little flings of rivals, prompted by the pitiable envy that seems inseparable from any profession whose reward is mainly reputation. Its sense of subordination, too, had been tried by tales of sneering remarks made by General This or Colonel That, and it firmly believed that much of Fred Benton's present trouble was due to the fact that he wouldn't stand hearing them abused, belittled or maligned. In greatly exaggerated form, the rumor of his disagreements with his fellow staff officers and his "row with Old Scoffer" had gone the round of the regiments, to the end that Fred was now looked up as a hero and a champion, even by the Black Hats, who rarely saw heroism in anybody, who scouted the idea of needing a champion and who pronounced one general of the Army of the Potomac, at least, a consummate ass. They were mad clear through when told he had declared Benton disloyal "had more friends in the South than in the army." Only a few weeks previous they had been pulling Benton to pieces among themselves, because of his apparent neglect of them and preference for his new associates. Now they were all afire at the idea of any one abusing him, and mere was wrath and wonder in camp when it was learned that by order of Stanton himself Fred Benton was held in close arrest, with the prospect. said rumor, of being sent to that so-called Bastile of the war days Fort Lafayette. Why not? Was not a gallant general offi cer who had organized the first defense of the national capital already there, vainly pleading to be heard against the accusations of unknown, even anonymous, foes? stripped of command and mured in that Chateau d'lf of the New York Narrows, because there had been a disaster, and some "pipe-inspired" private told a newspaper tale of having seen the general communing with rebels the day previous? Were not commissioned officers of the regular army who had fought superbly In battle after battle, suddenly and summarily dismissed the service by that imperious will, without so much as a chance to confront and confound the accuser, because of some story brought to the secretarial ear that roused the secretarial Ire? Small comtort was it to the victim that the order of dismissal was later revoked. There to this day stands the unmerited blot on the record to the enu that, long years after, it could be truthfully said by a journal desirous of creating adverse feeling, "This officer was summarily dismissed the service in 186." And if generals and graduates could be thus condemned and confined without trial or hearing, what could a lone lieutenant expect, who had confessedly been the intimate friend of one Confederate officer, held to be a spy because caught in civilian dress after long weeks of domicile; who had visited that officer, held private converse with him, received important papers at his hands and refused to surrender them; who had, furthermore, confessed that he had given material aid and comfort to another enemy, Lieutenant J. Bankhead Chilton, when a prisoner in his charge after the affair of Gainesville; who had previously aided to escape one Dr. Chilton, father of the same, a resident of Charlottesville and supporter of the rebellion, then in possession of valuable information as to our forces and movements (no mention here, of course, of McDowell's authority); and who, having spent much time as a guest of the Chilton family at Charlottesville, had been by them, through their inr fluences at Richmond, sent back to our lines in order, doubtless, that he might obtain and furnish more treasonable information. Oh, a beautiful case was this worked up against Captain Fred Benton, A. D. C, if the rumors from the rear could be believed, and strange it was, indeed, that in the midst of all the wrath and despond in all ranks, there should appear at the camps of the Iron Brigade, shaking hands with brother officers and soldiers, that very able talker and genial fellow-citizen, Major McKinnon, and Mac had lots to tell. Growlersand most men were growlers that woeful Christmas-tide along the Stafford Heights who asked him why he wasn't with his regiment, were told that he was still on court-martial duty, but court had adjourned over Christmas. Growlers at first only growled when McKinnon tentatively began to talk about Benton and Ladue. but later they listened most men will and when he returned three days later to his court at the capital and made report to certain confidential officers at the department, it must be admitted that, though he took back with him far less of compromising character concerning Benton than he expected and hoped, he left a lot behind him. But then came the "mud march" In which even the elements joined forces with the disaffected of the generals, as well as the enemy, against that most unhappy soldier at the head of the army, and in the overwhelming slough of despond, McWinnon's mud slinging might have been forgotten. The weather had been fine up to the moment Burnside essayed his move; then came the deluge; and when the old brigade got back to its camps and scraped off the tons of sacred soil still clinging to its boots, there was no one having other weight who could go to Washington and tell the great war secretary he was utterly mistaken as to Benton. For far less than that temerity had men been exiled to Santa Rosa or Ship island. Fred's first general was a stranger to Stanton, and his appeal for speedy justice for his former aid-decamp was ignored, as coming, as McKinnon said, from the man that guarded rebel property and abandoned positions that he was bidden to hold. McKinnon, of course, could not be expected to know the real truth or to tell it if he did. And all this time there lay at the Old Capitol prison, awaiting needod evidence to prove him a spy. a very luckless young soldier. Paul Iadue. All this time there fumed and chafed, confined in arrest to the limits of Greble Barracks and the adjoining square in which were the officers' quarters. Captain Fred Benton, A. D. C, forbidden to see Ladue. and well-nigh forbidden to be seen by anybody save secret service sp imens detailed for the purpose. All this time, persisted the brigade in saying, there must have been a spy on Benton's words and deeds while with the division, and who could be the spy? All this time there came no tidings of that other escaped prisoner of war. Jack Chilton. All this time not once did Dr. Chilton and his devoted and sorrowing daughter step forth for air or sunshine that they were not "shadowed. All this time there was a man hat could have thrown light on the situation, but most unaccountably had he disappeared Jennings, he of the old stone house, captured by cavalry near Mathlas Point in the act of succoring or aiding escaped prisoners, and sent, with Ladue, almost in shackles, to Washington. Jennings was

Copyright. 1W2, by 0. W. IHlllngham Company POTOMAC again at large, and the department declared it knew not whither he had gone. He had been realesed. was the explanation well because it would appear that he had only done what humanity dictated helped and nursed a half drowned, half fever-burned, half dying man. Then the squire came out from the West, and that lusty patriot happened to be at odds with state officials over some regimental appointment. A hot correspondence had led to a coldness between him and a certain senator. The great President was now confronted by new and direful problems Burnside had demanded the dismissal of several of his generals or else his own. A new chief of the army had to be chosen at this crisis of its history. A great corps commander, McCUllan's stanchest friend and supporter, had been sentenced by court-martial of his peers to be cashi and forever disqualified. Two others, inimical to Burnside. the President was asked to disgrace, together with generals of minor grade. The very climax of Lincoln's cares seemod to have come. No wonder the mighty captain could not anchor his craft in the rush of the rapids, and lower a boat for the little boy's apple. No wonder he had no time to personally investipate the case of Benton's beloved Mil. "The new housekeeper." he said, "would quit without notice rather than submit to interference." With sorrowing, suffering, anxious heart he let Burnside go, and set Burnside's fiercest critic, himself to lose his head a few week.- later, in Burnside's place, and then the great, loyal, triple-tried rmy went in again, with overwhelming numbers, to round up that thin gray line along the southward heights. Again the fords were ribboned with the pale blue columns, as a dozen great divisions circled the Confederate left. Again did Jackson dare to drop everything at the front, swing clear round the outermost line and come crush ing in on an astonished and bewildered flank. "Never," say the Confederates, and God knows they know, "did the Yanks fight harder than at Chancellorsvillc" that Is. those who fought at all. for only a fourth of their entire array were given a chance, but again "Back to the fords! " was the order, and cursing their luck and praying for a fair fight and no favor, back the fourth time went the army. Then came the summer, the race for the Potomac, and the rush at last to the high-water mark of rebellion on the shores of the Susquehanna. But meantime there had been a scene or two at Washington, never mentioned in the chronicles of the day and in the midset of alarms and distractions such as Washington had never known before. Such matters as the public cowhldlng of an array officer almost in front of the White House would be "scare-headed" from Maine to Manila to-day, but the papers had no space for it then. 'Squire Benton had touched up McKinnon's new uniform to the tune of thirty lashes before the police could step in and spoil the sport, and only in a local Journal and one or two in the far West was the affair referred to. Paul Ladue. convalescent, had been twice subjected to rigid questioning with the hope of establishing the guilty connivance in his escape of a certain Baltimore household, as well as a certain Union officer, and with the result of establishing nothing beyond the fact that even in his weakness he had more strength and "sand" than the prosecution. Then he was tendered release on parole, for long investigation had failed to unearth a thing to warrant detention as a spy. A romantic turn in the tide of affairs had come when a certain senator called on the secretary and offered to show that the incriminating papers which Benton had refused to surrender and w hich Miss Benton now would be willing to show, if necessary to save the prisoner's life, were personal letters and nothing more. Stanton knew this, probably, as well as the senator, but was wroth that any one else should know it, and furious that an officer should dare refuse to surrender them, no matter what or whose they were. Then Ladue's Baltimore friends had sent word across the line that Ladue was to be tried as a spy and hanged whether convicted or not, and an Alabama brigade declared in replv that mej wuuiu nuns me nrsi lankee lieutenant they caught if a hair of Paul's head were injured. One thing, it was said, that had made Stanton so forceful a prosecutor in the past was the ease with which he could always persuade himself of a prisoner's guilt, the jury following as the night the day. Something had to be done, he had said, to stop this wholesale transmission of state and military secrets to the enemy and a victim was demanded. He had mured this Confederate officer, caught in civilian dress, in Old Capitol prison, and if he wasn't a spy, then he "must have neglected his opportunities and deserved to be hanged." What made Stanton so hot against Ladue was that so many women clergymen, church people and others took to pleading for the lad. Then it was that McKinnon began to find favor at the War Department. Then it was that Captain Benton's limits were restricted instead of beine enlarged. Then it -o ,.. . hearted surgeons at the Old Capitol Hospital were replaced by men of sterner stuff. Then it was that the Chiltons were notified that they must leave Washington forthwith, and the 'squire, bursting with wrath at being forbidden to see the doctor and his daughter, had had brief conference with Fred, now almost fretting his heart out at the barracks; had learned through an officer of rank in the regular service that beyond possibility or doubt Major McKinnon was at the bottom of all the?e new and most oppressive orders; had gone to the White House with a demand to see the iTesident; had been promised an odportunity immediately after Cabinet meeting that afternoon; had met McKinnon sauntering down the avenue in compans with a fe .ow-solver-lawyer, and had hurled himself upon him then and there to the end that the major was picked ud and carried to Willard's. the squire escorted to the police station, and the Interview didn't come oif. it is recorded of the President that when told of the incident that evening, bis sad face brightened for the first time in a week. "I wonder If the "squire would let me make him a general " said he. "At least he fights." ' , ThaUlKht.u ?l,uer i the reKu'ar service did a thing that, had Stanton known it at the tim. and it's a wonder he didn't would doubtless have sent that soldier to close arrest, if not to a cell. He was an officer of rank, a gentleman of gentlemen and a fellow beloved of his fellow-men Intrusted with an order to see that Dr Chilton and daughter were safely sent to the steamer for Old Point Comfort, a suitable guard going with them, he nad called on the kindly old Virginian late in the afternoon. He knew something of the Chiltons and much of their story, and was not the man Stanton would have sent to work his will. Already their few preparations w. re complete. The order for their removal had been sent the previous day. A revulsion of feeling;, such as young Pelham had predicted after Antietam. had surely set In at Charlottesville, for many a wounded lad from the front had had his sav against the croakers and scandal-monk'- rs at l,..m. :,nd it was believed that now the doctor would be glad to go. Moreover, it was known to just two officers at Greble Barracks not three squares from the modest roof ' th it had given shelter to the doctor and his fair sad-faced daughter, that a sum in cold sufficient for their needs had been placed in the doctor's hands through the sNter already mentioned. But. so far from beina glad to go, both doctor and daughter had shown grave embarrassment at the tidings' and this despite evident effort There could be but one explanation of that Jack 'hilton was still North, unable rossibiv to travel, and concealed by faithful friends So long, therefore, as he was this sid of the now closely-pa tooted Potomac he Chiltons could not bear to go There had been a brief, courteous talk The 0fflCr deeply regTetted. he Bald to have to be the means of arririna out' the order, but he would call with a carriage S Y;' NVas he anythlnK ht. h, f could do for Miss Chilton? "There is. sir." answered a voice at the folding doors, behind which two voiceswomen's had been heard In earnest almost excited conversation, and with cheeks Mushing through their pallor and eyes thit flashed despite e idem e of reef nt t.-,r Rosalie Chilton swept quickly Into the BL "We hear that Mr lu nton-'Squire Kenton too, has been arrested and-mv aunt will not admit of anything but I feel that it Is to him we are indebted for most generous aid. Major, I wish to see him. to thank him. to tell him something as his daughter is not here. Can that be arranged before we go?" "If a possible thing." said the major well knowing the 'Squire was out on bal'l by this time, and would certainly com In person. All the same, he told his wife at dinner of Miss Chilton's request and. what had not that keen-witted army woman already known or surmised? "He cannot leave barracks," said she on the spot, "but you can invite him here to your quarters; then bring them ht r om the way to the boat and leav the rest to me. ' "He cannot leave! Why. my dear, he isn't in barracks. The pol fee " begins the major, obtusely. "Major. loa a.-K t aplain Kenton l r,-
