i
public, Says I.icut. Col. Walrous,
the Union Soldier Referred To.
The following graceful tribute to
Gen. Robt. E. Lee is paid by Lieut.
Col. Walrous, who was a*gallant
Union officer during the war. In u
letter to the Louisville CourierJournal
Lieut. Col. Walrous says:
In a battle to the left of Petersburg,
.in Gen. Grant's closing campaign,
one of Gen. Lee's soldiers
shot my horse, ifnd a dozen more of (
them, a few feet away, . 1th guns
aimed where they would do me the
moBt harm, if discharged, demanded
a surrender.
Within three-quarters of an hour
I stood face to face with the great
Confederate soldier.
When, in a gentle voice, full of
sympathy, he looked at a wounded
New York major and asked: "Are
you badly wounded, major?" and
the major said he was, and Lee replied:
"I am sorry, I am sorry,
major; take good care of him, gentlemen."
I jotacd In saluting tuo

gentle, kindly heart.

Confederacy, with his staff and escort.
was hurrying to the field where
a Dortion of Gen. Warren's Fifth
corps wao driving the Confederate
Gen. McGowan's division back <o
White Oak road.
I have related these incideni f'.r
the purpose of saying that while they
led to a growth of admiration for
the man Lee and the Gen. Lee, the
man and the general who at the
most critical moment of his military
life could ask a dying soldier what
he asked the New York major, and 1
then, with as much sympathy as a
fond mother might address a dyin^
son, say, "I am sorry, I am soiry."
has nothing whatever to do with my
firm belief that no Northern soldier
or citizen should raise a voice or put
an obstacle in the way of placing
a statute of Gen. Lee in the hall of
fame at Washington. There are
many reasons why I give expression
to this belief. In the first place
the law of congress gives each State
the right to place in the hall of
fame statutes of two persons chosen
by the State. Nothing is said as to
how the statutes shall be made?how
clad. What pleased Illinois
should have been accepted. Wisconsin
chose Pere Marquette, and in
the garb of a Catholic missionary
prieBt. A few people critlcisod Wisconsin
for the selection, particularly
the garb to which the statue appeared.
but Wisconsin had her way, as
she should have done.
Virginia, without a dissenting
voice, chose George Washington and
Robert E. Lee. Does it not go without
sayiag that these are two of
the greatest Virginians?
It is insisted by some that the
statue of Gen. Lee should no exhibit
the Confederate uniform. Virginia
chose Lee in his uniform and
Washington In his.
Unquestionably it was a source
of real pleasure to every Virginian
who served under Gen. Lee, and
to every living Confederate soldier,
and the South generally that Virginia
desired that the statute of
Gen. Lee should show in the unifrom
of the great general they little
less than worshiped and her
soldiers willingly fought under.
As a Northern soldier I am frank
to say that in this late day, nearly
half a century after Gen. Lee's surrender
at Appomattox, where he and
his soldiers were so generously
treated by another great American
general, to whom he surrendered that
I am glad to see the old Confederates
who followed Lee made glad.
What harm can come from making
them glad? What danger is there
In the gray uniform? It is but a
memory. It makes Gen. Lee none
the less one of the very first generals
of the American republic, of
the world, who, before wearing that
uniform, had honored the United
04nt/v? i...* f nt>N Mn..i.
tt.z\ uiu tvw uiiii;c?is ui in* mim

If I have long been of the belief
that it was a good thing for the
country to make tlint gigantic test
of the TiOs, T do not censure myself
for strongly advocating the allowing
or Virginia to do just as
she pleases, under the law, in the
matter of the two statues in the

ENGLISH SPARROWS
RXPERTS CITE DAMAGE THEY
DO CROPS AND BUDS.
rile Department of Agricultnre Says
Destroy the Last One of Them
for the Public Good.
The English sparrow Is the pirate )
of the air, just as the rat Is the
freebooter of the earth, and ought
to be exterminated. So rules the
department of agriculture in a bulletion
just ptuAjlished, which also
tells how to get rid of him.
He hunts and eats Insects which
are beneficial to plant life, while
he passes over more or less those
which are harmful. The only good
thing he does is to eat the seed of
weeds and prevent their spread.
Aside from that there is nothing to
be said to his favor.
More than tha.t he is murderous.
He hunts the nesting places and destroys
eggs and young bluebirds,
house wrens, tree swallows and barn
swallows. The robin, the catbird
and the mocking bird he attackR and
drives out of parks and shade trees.
He has no song, but he drives out
the song birds aud brings only noise
in return.
After having learned all this
about the sparrow, after an extensive
investigation, the department of
agriculture shows a way to destroy
him. First, whenever sparrows roost
around your house destroy their
nests. If they roost at night in
your caves or cave troughs, drive
them away with a long pole. By
destroying nests wherever they are
seen, raising can be prevented.
The sparrow likes to nest in cavities
and he can be tralVd through
this preference. He will roost In
boxes that may be put up to make
his capture easy. He may be lured
to spread grain and shot or killed
In other days, or may be poisoned.
Wheat soaked in strychnine is
said to be preferable. This method
has been adopted in California
where it was necessary to protect
ripening fruit. A sparrow's stoin
ach will hold about thirty kernels
of wheat, hut six or even one properly
treated with strychnine will kill
him. *
Gives Way to Teddy.
Congressman Cocks, of New York.
Friday declared himself ready to retire
from congress to make way for
Theodore Roosevelt, who. according
to report may decide to round out his
public career in congress upon his
return from Africa.
dier3, and the best known type of
Christian gentlemen, gladdens the
hearts of Lee's soldiers and the
South generally, I do not censure myself;
for sincerely regretting the action
of members of the Michigan
Loyal legion in urging congress not
to permit the statue of Gen. Lee, in
the Confederate uniform, to be unveiled
in the Hall of Fame, I do
not censure myself. With deep regret
I lament the unwise, not to say
unpatriotic, action of a handful of
Grand Army men in Chicago, who
joii|ed the Michigan Loyal legion
members in demanding that congress
prevent the placing of the Lee st#tue
in the Hall of Fame. It was in
bad taste. I regret it because it
will bring ridicule upon the Grand
Army of the Republic and the Northern
soldiers generally. I regret it
because before this century is gone
every descendant of the Michigan
men and the Chicago men who
placed themselves in a position to
be ridiculed and condemned will
blush when their action is recalled.
Conduct of that character by
Northern soldiers belittles them in
the eyes of most of the public.
We should not forget that this
country is as much the South's as
it iB the North's. That she has the
same rights that the North has.
That our flag is their flag; that they
were as ready in '98 to assist in
flghting the country's battles as the
North was. and that no portion of
the country would respond more
promptly should other dangers demand
great armies.
Has there been a president since
the war. had another war come, and
Robert E. Lee still alive and In condition
to command, who would not
have selected him as the commander
of an aftny? Grant, McKinley,
Hayes, Garfleld, Arthur, Cleveland,
Harrison, Roosevelt and Taft would
have counted themselves lucky in
secure his services. What Amer.can
would have responded more
promptly, or with a stronger desire
to serve his country, than Robert K. |
Leo? This is only a supposition, but
it is a perfectly safe supposition.
If alive, would Lincoln. Grant.
Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Warren.
Smith, Sedgwick, Howard, Logan,

A triple murder was revealed In \
an obscure flat In the heart of New '
York's East Side, at No. 10 and 20
Montgomery street, at dusk Thurs- '
day. Two women and a man are |
the victims, and the manner of death 1

bleeding and fully dressed on i
the floor with a whimpering .bull '
terrier as companion for the dead.
Robbery was the motive, or else it (
is another case of the lllack Hand.
Salvatore Scalpone, a well-to-do ,
young Italian barber, hia wife and
a middle-aged woman, believed to
have been Mrs. Scalpone's mother,
are the victims. His failure to appear
at his shop started an investigation,
which resulted in the dia- ,
covery of the crime. Policemen,
summoned by the Janitor of the
apartment, entered the locked flat ,
by way of a flre escape.
In the kitchen Scalpone's body
was found. It was tied to the door, ,
the fact battered beyond recognition ,
and lying in a great smear of blood. ]
Near his master stood the whining ,
bull dog. cowering and blood spat- ,
tered. The animal had paced aim- ,
lessly from body to body, sniffing (
one pnd then the other, stalninc
the floors crimson wtih his foot- .
prints and waiting for human aid. ,
In the next room were the bodies j
of the women, gagged as was the ,
man, the handkerchiefs similarly |
knotted and the heads battered as ,
if the same instrument had been t
used on all three. But no weapon
with which such wounds could hav? ,
been Inflicted was found in the flat. .
Inspection by the officers revealed
dire confusion; drawers w ere dump- ,
ed out, cupboards ransacked, mat- ,
tresses ripped open and every con- ,
celvable hiding place for money or
valuables pried open. In a little j
hallway the last traces of the mur- j
derer or murderers w<;re found. ,

sack was a basin half-filled with ,
bloody water, a blood-stained vessel
and a pair of overals, also bloodspattered.
The water had probably
been crimsoned as the slayer washed
his hands before securely locking ]
the apartment and making his es- ,
escape by the fire escape.
Whpever took the three lives
worked quietly, else next door neigh
bors are confused in their statements.
It was late at night that
the fhimes were committed, for
Scalpone worked as usual In his shop
until 10 o'clock.
Joseph Jingo, Scalpone's assistant
barber, alarmed at the failure of
his employer to appear for work
gave the first clue to the murder.
He called at the flat late in the
afternoon, found it locked and summoned
the janitor. The two tried
the door, but with no avail. Then
the police were called and by the
familiar fire escape entrance stood
aghast before the three lifeless
forms.
The police are of the opinion that
more than one person took part in
the murders for, with the bull dog
011 guard and three persons to cope
with, one man would have been pow
erless. Also, it is shown that Scalpone's
body had been dragged from

DEATH IN A TUNNEL
FIFTEEN WORKMEN ARE KILLED
BY AN EXPLOSION.
[Tharge of Nitre-glycerine Goes Off

rifrOOn man K* *
?ft%vvaa m*MK;u ,IU1 CC U1 LUCU1 ALUen*
;ans, were killed late Friday afternoon
by a premature explosion of
litor-glycerine in a tunnel which is
to form part of the great aqueduct
which will carry water from tho
\sholand dam in the Katskills to
S'ew York city.
Five were terribly mangled, bu*
were so near the mouth of the tunnel
that they were rescued alive.
The other 15 were found beneath
\ mass of rock and berls, literally
hammered by the force of the explosion
into a bleeding mass of
heads, limbs and torsos.
It is believed that the explosion
was caused by one of the workmen,
who, carrying a torch, tripped and
fell, igniting a fuse and setting ofT
a series of charges of nitro-glycerine.
The squad of 20 men who were
Involved in the accident, having
drilled the holes and plnced the explosive,
were trooping from the excavation,
15, those who were killedt
in the rear, and five, all of whom
were foreigners, in the lead. As the
five neared the mouth of the tunnel
there was a terrific roar, the countryside
shook and the five foreigners
were hurled senseless to the
ground near the opening.
Inside death was Instantaneous to
the men.
The contracting firm, R. K. Everett
& Co., employs 150 men In all, and
the premature explosion indicated
that there had been a disaster. A
hundred laborers rushed to the tunnel's
mouth and after dragging forth
the Injured set to work clearing away
the rock and earth to get at the
dead.
As the nltro-glycerine had been
purposely set to shatter rock it did
not damage the tunnel's Interior
more than the contractors hud planned
and after two hours' work the
bodies were reached. The scene
was such as to preclude the possl
bility of Identification except by a
roll-call of the firm's employes and
the list of dead had not been announced
at the time of this report.
There were exactly 20 men in
the tunnel, however, the five wound:?d
are accounted for, and, although
the tangled mass of humanity was
jo grewsome as to make the counting
of bodies almost impossible, it
is certain that the number of dead
will not exceed 15. Besides the
three Americans there are among
the victims Itlaians, Hungarians and
negroes.
The scene of the accident was near
the top of a small mountain a mile
and a half southeast of Cold Spring,
eight miles south of New York.
The explosion marks the first serious
accident of any work connected
with the aqueduct. *
WOMAN FOULLY SLAIN.
Decapitated and Mutllat?Hl Hody
Found in a ltcsort.
The decapitated and mutilated
l>ody of a woman identified as Anna
Furlong, was found in a room in a
resort at 50 West Seventeenth street,
Chicago, Friday. The head was
missing and the police believe that
it was carried away by the murderer
in an attempt to conceal the woman's
Identity. The woman had evidently
made a terrific struggle for her
life, as the room was found in great
disorder, chairs, tables and other articles
being thrown about. Tbe
body was covered with a night-gown,
which was cut and torn in several
places. The police think that the
woman had been dead for several
hours. When found, the body was
disemboweled and parts of the hair
and scalp were scattred about the
room. The body was Identified by
other inmates of the place who said
that the woman had lived there for
several weeks. *
