TVLEII I1C.7 DEAD
Famous Civil War Sharpshoot- ; er Had an Exciting Rec ord in Service.
V
LOST AW ARM IN BATTLE
HE PARTICIPATED IN MANY ENQAQEMENT8, SERVING UNDER BERDAN, AND RETIRED WITH SANK CAPTAIN.
Use of Gasoline and Electric Cars
Washington, July 31. The late MaJ.
Richard W. Tyler, whoBe death occurred In this city had many narrow escapes while serving with Berdan's
sharpshooters in the civil war.
He was twice severely wounded, losing one arm. His career as a soldier
aa shown by the records.was brilliant
and marked by many deeds of daring.
At the battle of Malvern Hill, with
twenty picked sharpshooters, Maj
Tyler made a daring reconnoissance toward the confederate lines and discovered that the men in gray were masting on the left of the Union army. He sent word to Gen. McCIellan. Heavy fire of artillery and from the gunboats in the James river was opened upon the confederates, causing them to abandon their flank movement. . , On another occasion, at the battle of North Anna, . he had placed his knapsack . against a tree for a few moments, when the confederates opened a hot artillery and musketry fire on that locality, where several general officers were congregated. The officers got away in safety. A confederate shell hit Tyler's knapsack, tearing It into shreds. When he returned to the spot a few moments later he was unable to And any of the daguerreotypes of his loved ones or the letters from home. They had all been blown into bits. Sharpshooters Capture Regiment. According to Col. John McElroy. the biggest achievement of , Berdan's sharpshooters was their capture of the 23rd Georgia regiment at Chancellorsvllle. .". At the beginning of their service the sharpshooters wore green uniforms and were armed with telescopic rifles. The total enrollment of the regiment, Col. McElroy says, was 1,392. The loss In killed was 153, or 10.9 per cent, with a toal casualty list of 546, or nearly onchalf the regiment. While Gen. Longstreet was forming a large column of attack on the second day at Gettysburg, and carefully screening his men behind a mass of woods, having about 26.000 men, intending to crush the Union left and roH np their lines, Col. Berdan. with the regiment of which MaJ. Tyler was a ' member, supported by the 3rd Maine, made a reconnoissance against Longstreet's men and attacked the confederate forces. This attack by the sharpshooters caused the delay In the confederate advance for which Longstreet was blamed by Gen. Lee and many southern writers. At Devil's Den. After this reconnoissance Berdan's men fell back to Little Round Top and did effective service in holding down the confederate sharpshooters In Dev
il's Den who had killed Gen. Strong Vincent, Gen. O'Rourke, Capt Haslet
and wounded Gen. Warren.
Col. Berdan was the inventor of the
Berdan rifle. Before the civil war he spent much time at the courts of Eu
rope Introducing his rifle. He was severely wounded and brevetted major general. .-'v - A character of his regiment was "California Joe," frontiersman and dead shot, who distinguished himself by picking off confederate gunners and silencing the guns.
GasoHne and electric cars- do not
compete any more than business and evening dress do. Each Is designed for
a dttfeaaht purpose, and far from be-
ins rivals, they are for the most part allies. There are a lot of people who
do not understand the essential difference between the two 'classes of ve
hicles, 'nor do they understand the qualities and adaptabilities of each: The electric is the city car par ex
cellence. As a substitute tor the tour-' lng,car It Is a lamentable failure. Its sphere is bounded by the area of the paved streets. Nor is the too common idea that the scopo"o"f the electric confined to women's use correct. On the contrary, while it la the only type of motor vehicle a woman should drive, because of its simplicity, its lack of mechanical complications, and above all, its cleanliness, yet its larger field is im the every day service of the business man. Nowhere perhaps are the distinctions between the gasoline and electric car more clearly drawn than in Cleveland. Cleveland owns moro electrics than St. Louis, a city many times as large; owns more of every type of car, gasoline, steam and electric. There are more than two thousand electric pleasure vehicles among five thousand owned there; a record, I think. Now nine-tenths of the men who own those two thousand electrics
also own gasoline cars usually high-
powered touring cars. I think it could be laid down as an axiom that an electric car is an economy to any man owning a touring car
worth $3,000 or more. Such a vehicle is quite as unsuitetd,to city work aa the electric is for country touring. To drive a car weighing one and one-half or two tons through congested streets, stopping, starting, slacking pace and accelerating in order to weave a way through the traffic; shifting gears once or twice In every block length, is to subject brakes, clutch, gears and tires to the most severe stresses and it shows up in the annual repair and replacement bills in a manner that is appalling.
Total It up to the end of a twelvemonth. It will be found that such a car has deteriorated fifty per cent In the year unless the chauffeur has been more careful than the average. Then It will be realized that a $1,500 elecetric would have paid for Itself In the year in actual economy, to say nothing of its many other advantages in city service. , Consider that you have supplement
ed your garage equipment with a ser
viceable electric and a home charging outfit. Ten per cent will then cover the annual depreciation of the good
gasoline car-when used for the service it is desired to preform country driving. Five per cent wil cover it in the case of some cars. The maid or the gardener puts in the plug and
starts the recharging process while you are at breakfast or enjoying your morning paper. When you are ready
so also is the car.
The electric Is not or rather should not be a racer. Seventeen to twenty miles an hour would result in arrest
in any well regulated suburb, so that is as fast as you could go in a gasoline car till you reach the heavy traffic.
From then on the electric is speedier.
Being more flexible in control it will
worm its way through the traffic at a much faster rate than the cumber
some touring car possibly could. This.
has been demonstrated time and time
again in races between electric and gasoline cars in busy streets where
frequent stops were necessary and traf
fic regulations and the safety of ped
estrians had to be regulated. Few people realize how rapidly rub
ber is ground off tires on a heavy touring car of long wheel base by the frequent releasing of the clutch, changing of gears, effort of stopping and starting and the still more wicked grinding consequent on turning sharply to avoid or to circumvent street oars and wagons. It is the chief item in the year's maintenance bill. A set of tires that will stand ten thousand miles of touring on average roads will go to pieces in one thousand miles of city work.

BOGUS MONEY IS III CIRCULATION
City of Logansport Is Now Said to Be Flooded With Bad Coin.
WORKMANSHIP VERY POOR
8HOVERS OF THE "QUEER CURRENCY" ARE CAUSING ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE- NOW IN OLD CA88 COUNTY.
An acre is 6,272,640 square Inches. An Inch of water on an acre Is therefore 7640 .' cubic Inches. That amount; at237 cubic Inches to the gallon, equals 22,060 gallons or 220,000 pounds er 100 tens. An Inch of rain Is, in other wends, rain falling at the rate of 100 tonsto the acre.
Logansport, Ind., July 31. Logansport is flooded with counterfeit silver dollars and the workmanship is so poor the wonder is that the "queerhovers" have been able to circulate the coin. Bad dollars have turned up in banks, business houses and in county offices. Some people are now so careful that they test them on their teeth and it is no uncommon sight to see a man or woman biting a dollar. , Trouble was narrowly averted when a bank clerk remembered the dates on two bad dollars which were brought to him for examination by Ray Malay, manager of the Indiana
Loan company. Malay several days ago paid James W. Shlnn, county recorder, $11 in fees for canceling mortgages. The next morning when Shinn counted the money he found that one of the dollars given him by Malay was a counterfeit dollar. He called Malay, who then gave him a good dollar. Malay took the counterfeit to a bank and one of the clerks instantly pronounced it bad. The date was 1901. Angry Words Spoken. - Malay paid the county recorder some more money In fees yesterday. The money was accepted, but soon Malay was asked to return to the office. "Hen, if this dollar comes back here any more I'll cause you trouble." yelled the connty recorder, glowering at Malay and handing him a dollar.
Malay protested that he had not given him the dollar, but Shinn Insisted that he had, saying it was the same one he had taken back several days previously. The two engaged In bitter words and almost came to blows. " But to prevent further wrangling Malay gave him a good dollar. Malay took the counterfeit to the bank. "What, another one?" exclaimed the clerk. ,"No; Shlnn says it's the same one," answered Malay. "Nope, it's another one. The first was dated 1901. This is dated 1809," replied the clerk, and instantly Malay returned to the county recorder's office and got his good dollar back.

DRUG DREAMS. Queer Visions Conjured Up In the Brains of Daring Experimenters. An experimenter with the Mexican drug mescal is rewarded by many and varied visions. Before him flit myriads of dainty butterfly forms, glistening. Iridescent, fibrous wings of insects, revolving vessels on whose highly polished concave surface of mother-of-pearl many strange and vivid hues play. There are elaborate sweetmeats In endless and appetizing variety and living arabesques of gorgeous hues and superhuman design. He may take up a pen for the purpose of making notes, but will find himself unable to use it. A pencil, however, proves easy of manipulation. As he writes bis paper is covered with a soft golden light, and his bands, seen indirectly, appear bronzed, scaled, fantastically pigmented and flushed with red. Tiring of the visions, he may light the gas, which Immediately fills the room with a glorious radiance, while wonderfully colored shadows of red, green and violet flit here, and there. Generally, it is said, no feeling of depression or physical discomfort follows the dream. A medical experimenter In Kentucky soon after takiag a large dose of hasheesh began to feel very excited; a feeling of inner joyousness possessed him; all fatigue seemed banished forever, and his mind ran riot, one bizarre Idea after another rapidly passing through his mind. Later his brain appeared to split la two parts, one of which urged him to she performance of comic gestures, while the other as Insistently hinted at Impending death and suggested restraint and Instant medical advice. While waitiag for a doctor he experienced alternate spells of lucidity and periods when all connections between himself and the outside world seemed to be severed, when a chaos of disjointed Ideas and wild reveries obsessed him. The duration of these latter periods was never longer than two minutes, but each seemed an eternity. It appeared a hopeless task to follow the minute hand of his watch during its Infinite roand; long before the sixty seconds had elapsed he gave up the stupendous task in deep despair. The departure of the doctor synchronized with the return of the feeling of impending death, now most horribly Intense. He imagined himself surrounded by grotesque, menacing, cruel vlsaged monsters. He fH himself expanding, dilating, dissolving into space, as he ascended steep precipices, cavered with Brobdegnagian creatures somewhat , like Maards, overhanging enormous abysses, the while he was overwhelmed by a berrtble, rending, unutterable despair. Detroit News-Tribune.
HE REFERRED TO HISTORY ...... FORMER SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY POINTED OUT THAT THE PARTY REDUCING DUTIES ALWAYS SUFFERED DEFEAT.
Washington, July 31. Some antiquarian politician, rooting around the archives of the last administration has dug up a letter to President Roosevelt from Leslie M. Shaw, when he was secretary of the treasury bearing upon the burning issue now before the tariff conferees. The letter is dated August 3, 1905, and addressed to the president at the time when there was agitation for tariff revision. The essential part of the letter follows: Advised Against Revision. "Washington, D. C, August 3, 1905. Dear Mr. President I am constrained to say another word about the tariff. I am abidingly convinced that to revise the tariff during the next session of congress will give you a democratic congress for the last two years of your administration, and that to revise during your administration will give a democratic successor. . "Moody is right when he says that a revision without putting hides on the free list will make Massachusetts a democratic state. "Wilson is equally right in saying that to put hides on the free list will carry three and probably five states to the democratic party. While agreeing with both of them, I agree with you that the issue between free and dutiable bides is relatively immaterial to everybody. "The leather manufacturers of Massachusetts have no difficulty or I will say little difficulty in getting drawback on the leather used in the manufacture of shoes for export, The "Wilson" referred to was James Wilson, then, as now secretary of agriculture. Mr. Moody, now on the supreme bench, was then in the cabinet. Sequel to Reduction in Duties. From the same collection of archives the following gloomy phophecy by Secretary Shaw was dug up: "No political party within the last fifty years has ever revised the tariff downward and carried the next election. The republican party tried it in 1883, and Mr. Cleveland was elected in 1884. The democratic party tried it in 18S7, and the republican party
j elected the president and congress la 1888. The republican party attempted to lower the tariff October 1, 18!0, and a congress democratic by 142 majority , was elected thirty days thereafter. The ! democratic party consummated revision In August 1894. and seventy days thereafter a congress was elected republican by 82 mapjority. "I desire to throw out a note of warning to my friends in the agricultural states. Bear this in mind that there are several times as many people demanding cheaper food as are de- ' manding a reduction of the tariff on any manufactured article. No one state can revise the tariff in the inter- . est of that state only. There are localities willing to sacrifice every suggestion of protection which the Dingley law affords Dakota, in the open anil avowed hope that by so doing ad- ! ditional markets may be obtained for their own products. It is fortunate therefore that no one state can revise the tariff."

He Is So Stupid That He Can Be Taught Any Habit. Tbote have been on exhibition at various times horses that are apparently prodigies of mathematical insight that can do anything with numbers that the trainer can do. Tet we absolutely know that no animal can so much as count at all. Furthermore. It is always the horse that performs these marvels, though the horse Is the most utterly stupid of all the dumb creatures that man has made his friends. That Is precisely why the horse Is always taken to be made Into an arithmetician. Be is so stupid that he can be taught anything any habit, that Is and. having no mind to be taken up with his own affairs, can be relied on to do exactly as be is told. v All these arithmetical fakes, whatever their details, are worked in essentially the same way.

Press the proper button, and he takes a sponge and rubs It over a certain spot on a blackboard or picks up a card lying In a certain positmn. That Is all he does.

MIIIISTEBJ TRAMP Preacher, Who Formerly Had Charges in Indiana Tells Sad Story.
JUST OUT OF WORKHOUSE
St. Louis, Mo., July 31. Detective Doherty and O'Brien stationed at King'a highway and McPrehson avenue to watch " for daylight housebreakers saw a figure clad in a soldier's coat dilapidated trousers, shoes and hat, slouching along the walk early today. Questioned as to his business he replied: "I'm a minister." At central station the police made this entry. "Mark Mitchell, 25, suspected deserter from army." Mitchell told his story to assistant chief of Detectives McCarthy.
"I spent two years at Lowell college
in Louisville, Ky., studying for the
ministry," he said, "although not or-
dained, I was authorized to take charge of a circuit in Indiana. My stand was at Nabb, Ind., and I made several towns near there. I prospered for a time then gave up the work and
went to Chicago. Want and hunger drove me to the army. ' I was discharged in 1908 for physical disability.
"Three months ago I came here, i
wanted to get enough money to go back to Lowell and finish my studies.
I went out to Pine Lawn one day looking for work. Three women there said I disturbed their peace and I was arrested. They sent me to the rock pile, and I have been there ever since, for 57 days. These old togs they gave me when I got out. "I was walking back to the city
when these officers stopped me. All I want is a chance to work: to get back
to Lowell.
"I never have touched liquor or drugs. It's just pure starvation that makes me so thin. " I ate hardly any
thing while I was on the rock pile." McCarthy promised to help the min
Ister regain his prestige and work to
continue his studies.
