Oca. BbcrltUn'i Career.
Philip Henry Sheridan was born at
Somerset, I'erry county, Oble, Mar eh 0, 1831,
et Irish paronlnge. Ile was a boy of active
in I nit ana body, and at the early age of 5
could ride any horse in the neighborhood
with the k 111 of a jockey, Little Phil In
lila early bnvhced Displayed the samecoor sameceor samecoer
ageou daring, whlcu hli fellows termed
"grit," that cbaraetrrlzed his campaigns
later In lire. Bat the boy had little time for
school. It waa when bard at work aa a
hardware dealer's clerk that he collected a
vaat deal et general Information, and first
made up bis mind that a military Ufa waa
te bis taste, and be aspired te become a stu
dent at West Point military a sademy.
Ills way et reaching the academy waa
manly nnd illree'. He wrote te the mem
ber et Cen kicks for the district In which he
lived, asking ter the appointment, and be
set it, at 17 years of age. A noed, but net
one of the beat, scholar?, far nbove medio
crity, but net at the top, he unfortunately
allowed hli blch spirit te lead him te Heg a
cadet who lnnulteu him, and waa set back
a year In bis graduation. At 3 he left the
military academy, and en the border he was
seasoned ler the treat work he was later
called te perferin. When the war hrst
broke out be Wits a first lieutenant, and
when be was made n captain, standing
sixty-fourth In the lis', it was hi reasonable
bepe that be might win a mr-jer'a oommts eommts oemmts
slon before the war wai ever. la three
years he wasa mJer Reneral, in five years
inore he was a lieutenant-general nnd fif
teen years later he assumed the command
et the army In which he bad been be brilliant
and successful a leader.
When General Sheridan entered the
military academy at Wcsll'elnt the Mexi
can war bad jUBtended, and he oime out
Just at the trouuies eegan in iiaoses. r reui
Kansas disturbances reappeared where the
Valley of Virginia opens en the Potomac
Sheridan was tent all ever the country,
being In the Infantry service te Washing
ton Territory, te Texas, te Oregon. He was
only a lieutenant when theclvtl war began,
and wbs first put en the quartermasters and
commissary servlce at 8u Leuis, and down
with Lyen in seuthwest Missouri. There
he probably learned the art of making war
and devastation short by burning up the
commissary. Everything he learned he
1 W AM Mpl I
When Grant wbs selected by Ilalleek te
attack Pert Donelaen, Sheridan was Hal
leek's quartermaster at headquarters. He
finally get n volunteer regiment from
Michigan and became its colonel, and
wherever be saw rebels, In whatever form
or number, he wentnttbein astftbey were
enemies of the government. He was never
one et these pelicans wbleh carry their
young emotions In their mouths carelully
concealed In a pouch. Thn moral totcaef
the man was what constituted bis profes
sional skill. He was ltke a gun, which
amounts te nothing ter Its ctllbre, but for
the gunpowder that Is In 1'. Seeing his
whole moral duty In that war from tbe out
set be never had any compromise te make
upon tbe commissary, constitutional or
ether funny questions which engaged little
men In the midst c.f hoBtllltles. He was
always whipping soniebody, and whipping
him badly.
Finally be get command of a division
nnd wiis brigadier gennral of volunteer?.
When Bra,tg Invaded Kentucky Sheridan
was one et tne gqnerula who followed him
back. He had fought all evtr Tennessee
when they made him major general of vol
unteers, ai.d be suddenly came eat and
took part in the big fights about Chatta
nooga and Oblckamauge. Grant new took
blm te the East, knowing well his mettle.
He wbs In the Wilderness fight, kllltd Jeb
Stuart at Yellow Tavern, and utter fighting
many battles In Virginia be was Kent te
tbe great valley, where he became the
greatest et Its military cenunndeis.
The war for a while Reeuiud transferred
from the main army up te the valley,
where Sheridan was doing his best te pay
the government for odiietlnj him. He
had command of the Army el the Shenan
doah, destroyed thnt slde aisle te burn
Northern tewuB and steal Northern crejH,
and when he had cleaned the valley out be
went across the country and Joined Grant
and cleaned the robelllen out. He followed
up the army of Le, get en bis llwks, get
In his front, beat him everywhere, brought
him te bHy, and cent blm te G rant te give
up his sword.
When the war clesed Goneral Sheridan
was appointed commander of the division
et Iho southwest and Inter et the division of
the pulf. In tlie latter part of 18G7 he was
put In charge et the department of MIb MIb
Beurl, with tieidquarteisat Pert Leaven
worth, and In March, 1G9, he was appointed
lieutenant-eeneral, wltn headquarters at
Chicago. Kirly lu 1875, political distur
bances threatening Louisiana, General
Hhnrlilnn was stationed for a few weeks In
New Orleans, nnd bis presence had a most
wholesome nine. As an Indian tighter be
was a great success, nnd found his superier
cavalry genlus of the greatest value lu
chasing tbe red skins ent of their meuutaln
retreats into tbe open field whete he could
fight them.
Sluce General Sheridan has been lieutenant-general
at Washington he has lived
quietly and modestly, but has deveted bis
whole time te the army. Odcaslenal.y he
appeared at the bead of n projesleii, as be
dldwbonbe rode hefnru the troop that
escorted the body of Legan te the tomb,and
be was a conspicuous figure it the Inaugur
ation of President Cleveland. Nearlyotery
day In the year be could be found, seen af
ter 9 o'clock In the morning, In bis etllce In
tbe war department building, en Pennsyl
vania avenue. This tlllce Is a large square
room en the main ll"er with windows over ever
looking Pennsylvania avenue te the north
and the White Heuse grounds te the east.
The general's desk steed obliquely across
tbe outermost corner, In such a position that
aa he eat behind it the light lull upon his
back and upon tbe faces of all visitors te
tbe room. Twe large cases, filled with
curious pottery, Indiau blankets, bows and
arrows, headgear, clubs and ether urtleles

since the war of the reDtuien, sami m op
posite Mdis of the apartment. Upen tbe
walls aie portraits of Gunerals Jacksen,
Werth, .ichary Teylnr, Legan, Blair,
Meade and Mci'herseu and pereral spirits t
Illustrations of wetern hunting scenes.
General Sheridan's residence en Ktiode
Island avenue is one of tbe handsomest in
tbat section et Washington. The parlor of
General Sheridan is a very cesy room, Bnd
tbe bay window, with lis geed views of two
streets, Is a favorite resort at receptions.
Within It stands a pretty little mahogany
table coveied with a large cloth of head
work, aud upon this are the pictures of tbe
people whom the general prized inore than
any ethers In this world. They Bre these of
his beautiful wlfe and bis four pretty chil
dren. Tnere U llltle Phil, jr, bis Bister
and the twins, who nre two bright little
girls, and who can talk Prencb qulte as
well as their elder brother and Bister. Mrs.
Sheridan Is very careful of the education of
ber children. Hhe is a very pepuiir lauy
In Washington society, and the rtceptUns
which sbe holds In Ibis big parlor have
brengbt te it several hundred callers every
week.
There we.1 no better known nure about
tbe national capital than " Lltlle Pell." He
rarely were bis uniform, aud amereunmll.
Itary-loeklng man never llted in citizen's
dress. The lollewlcg is a (..end picture of
tbe cemmauder-ln chief at bis headquar
ters: 'Most of the officers about him wero in
civilians' drtBH, hut there was hardly one of
them who did net wear some nutwatd sign
of bis military character. Sheridan was
very short and each year seemed te add te
the. rotundity et bis puegy figure. When I
saw blm In tbe lobby be were upon the
back et bis reuud, bullet bead a very slim,
high, old fashioned ullk bat, et a style tbat
waa very popular about the time of the
close of the war. It was about two sizes tee
small. His short, lrun-grsy hatr steed out
liem under tbe rim of bli hat at nearly
right angles wtth It,
Hli it J, weather beaten lies did oet
show any new line of advancing age, but
his grizzly, Iren gray moustache and Im
perial were whitening very fast. He were
a short, light, yellow gray ever cost which
had only two buttons, and they were
nearly ready te fly en from the undue
strain et Sheridan's round figure. The
coat, like thn hat, appeared te be long out
grown. The trousers were gray plaid and
fitted very snugly te the general's fat legs.
Ills beets were thlek soled and unblocked.
He were no gloves.
"The side and rear views of tbe general
suggested a low-eomedy man who had
walked off the stage all made up ter a funny
part, but when you oeme te leek at the
general squire In the face it stern, solemn,
com posed line were enough te make one
forget his grotesque flgnre and careless
dress. He was net as popular aa was Gen
eral Sherman with the ladles. He was
fender of staying at home than et going
about in society. He took mere pleasure
in paying attention te nil own wife than te
ether men's wives."
In compliment te this great soldier Con
gress recently created him general of the
army a rank tbat expired with his deatb.

proceedings of the
tlen's eampmeetlng :
-Saturday afternoon's
Evangelical assecls-
A large crowd assembled en the grounds
for the afternoon servlce. But for the op
pressive heat the crowd wenld no doubt
have been much larger. A children's
meeting was held at 1:30 o'clock, presided
ever by E. J, Miller. Mlaa Lizzie Kemper,
of Lllltz, presided at the organ. Addressee
were delivered by Kovs, J, Stormer and
F. P. Lehr.
Rev, J. B. EsenwelQ presehed the after
noon sermon. He announced his text
found In Uabakknk 111, 2: "O Lord, re
vive Thy works In the midst of theyeari."
After the sermon a collection was lifted
for camp exponses which was folio wed by
A. B. Bayler's exhortation drawing lessens
from tbe losing and finding of Bertba
Heck. The sorvlee closed with prayer by
J. P. Miller.
Saturday Evening: Tbe threatening
rain brought a favorable ebange In tbe at at at
moaphere, making it oeol and quite agree
able. The largest crowd thus far was
aasembled. The presiding elder returned
at neon slightly Improved. The twilight
prayer service was conducted by J. P.
Mlller. At 8 o'clock F. Smith preached te
a multitude of people from the words found
In Peter lv., 18: "If the righteous can
scarcely stand, where will tbe ungodly and
sinners be found V" Who are tbe righteous
and who are the ungodly ? Who are the
righteous 7 There are these who lead a
moral llfe and te whose character no re re re
proaeh can be attached. Bnt the
man who trusts te morality puts
away with the redemption through Jesus
Christ. Ged forbid that you should put
your trust in tbat rotten bridge of your
morality, for If yen cling te It yen will go
down te outer darkness. The feet of your
being a member et church Is a profession et
following Ged. Te be righteous Is te be
upright befere Ged net only befere men.
Te be righteous Is te be able te belleve that
Christ en and will save us. We are net te
held out te tbe unconverted the feet that It
Is an easy thing for tbe righteous te be
saved. Where shall the ungodly stand ?
They shall stand in thejudgment day.
But they shall bave a narrow plaee te stand
and shall call upon the roekB and the hills
te fall upon tbem. There parents and chil
dren shall testify against one another.
A light shower dispersed tbe vast aud.'.
en oe before the service was ended.
Sunday Mernine : A slight shower
caused slight apprehension but the clouds
seen dispersed until the sun shone and the
crowds oeme penrlng In until It can be
estimated that 4,000 people were en the
ground. Tbe early prayer meeting was in
charge of J. Stermer Bnd tbe 0 o'elook
prayer and experience service led by K. J.
Miller, it was a deeply Interesting service.
At 10 o'clock the sermon of tbe dsy was
preached by Rev. H. J. Stneyer, the pre
siding' elder el tbe dtstrleL He took for
his text Isaiah xxvltl., 15-17 : Sinee tbe
time of Isaiah peep'e bave changed very
little. Tbe wicked are still walled In by
their own Iniquity and the righteous are
Btill built upon the eternal rock. He por
trayed tbe Insecure condition of sinners In
thrilling terms, telling also that finally
sinners lmsglne themselves soeure.
The refuges of lies received no
quarter, but were stripped of their
mask and the devil's head exposed.
Tbe infidelity of Ingersoll and Tem Paine
are net se dangereus te the ehurcb as tbe
fine, devolving unbelief in the cbureb, be
said. Then in bis matchless olequenco he
told the congregation hew secure they were
who were found upon the true rock, and
wound up by telling bis own experience.
Tbe sermon was simply wonderful for its
eloquence, fervency aud spiritual power.
The vast multitude waa wrought up te the
blgbest degree of ometlon and seme gave
expression te thelr feelings in shouts of
praise. Rev. Sineyer is ene et the leading
preachera In East Pennsylvania conference
and in bis peculiar style be may stand at
the head. He has a marveiens vocabulary
and is very dramatic. He la quite emphatic
In his speech and calls things by their
preper names ; calling a devil, a devil, sin,
Bin and calling bell, bell.
A collection for the benefit el tbe elder
was llfted after the sermon. A. W. Warfel
led In prayer.
Sunday Afteiinoen: The weather has
grown quite warm again, nevertheless the
crowd was swelled te at least 5,000 persons.
A. W. Warfel, et Lttliz, preaehed the
afternoon sermon. He tcek for his text the
words leund in Ames Prepare te meet
thy Ged." Fer great eveuts great prepara
tiens are made weeks, months and years
ahead, Tbe farmer prepares tbe soil te
raise a harvest. Te held this campmeetlng,
preparations were made. The student pre
pares te meet bis toaehor, tbe criminal pre
pare for execution. Newjust te we must pre
pare te meet our Ged. We meet Ged every
day and everywhere. And while most
people are InseLslble and unconcerned
about meetlDg Ged, there Is an hour oemlng
in which we will all reallzj that we mutt
meet Ged, and tbat Is tbe hour of death.
We will meet Hlui at the Judgment bar et
Ged. All must meet Him there. Who Is
te nrcpare te meet Him t All. Because all
are sinners by nature. Bs he high or low,
rich or peer, all must prepare te meet Ulm
there. In what does this preparation con
sist V Net In sacraments; net le admiring
a certain minister; net In supporting tbe
church. It oeuslsti In Jujtltljitlen and
final sanctlticatlen.
The Bermen was delivered in an earnest
forcible manner and waa followed by a
powerful exhortation by Rev. B. J.
Smeyer.
Tbe evening sermen was preached by A.
B. Sayler, el Mt. Jey, from tbe words,
' This man recalvelh sinners." Theenun Theenun
elatien et this text is as bread as the
world and deep as human mtsery itself.
Christ receives all kinds el sinners.
Theso wbe are obaraeterless and leave no
reputation may take bope and go te Jesus.
These at tbe ether pole of character may
cast up tbe cry "Ged b9 merciful te me a
sinner.' The unfaithful, the backslider
may return te Christ. "I will heal all
your backslldlngs." Then tbose who have
nothing te bring but the remnant of a
wasted life may lay It at tbe Master's feet
and be saved, This man recelvetb tinners.
Your Savier, my Savier, the man whose
arms can leach tbe lowest and wbete heart
throbs with Infinite love for fallen hu
manity. Alter tbe sermon an invitation was given
ter people te seek salvation.

that he need net feel ashamed or, and It
made a geed Impression here,

The Downlngtewn J! c view has gene ever
te the Democratic pirty. It sajs: "We
Indorse President Cleveland's views en the
tariff qnostlen and the Mills bill, becaute
they are,ln our Judgment, the only straight
forward prepositions for rclief from tbe

Something of a peltllnal sensation was
caused In Terre Haute, Ind., en Saturday
by the publication or a letter te W. U. Ball,
editor et the Oasetle, from I). W. Mlnshall
In which he announces he cannot support
tbe Republican platform. Mr. Mlnahail la
a large Iren manufacturer, being a psrt
owner of the Terre Haute Iren and nail
works, the Green Castle nail mill and the
St. Leals Calumet mill. He Is one et the
most prominent Republicans In Wottern
Indiana and from 1679 te 1SS3 had
the olllee of internal revenu collec
tor et this district. He Is a director or the
Vandalla line and was recently In the bank
leg business wltb Prestdent MtKen, of
that read. Mr. Mlnshall parts with the
party en the tariff Issue. He announces
himself as a " decided tarlfl refermer," and
refers te tbe Chicago platterm declaration
concerning the repeal et tbe Internal revo reve
nue tax as extraordinary and ridiculous "
He strongly Indorses President Cleveland's
message and the Mills bill. Mr. Mlnshall
has In the past been a heavy contributor te
Republican eampalgn funds.
Tbe New Yerk Sun siys seme et the
Cleveland men de net believe In the re ro re
perts of money backing beta en Harrison
and Morten, and say there Is soma hocus
pecus about It, One of these Cleveland
doubters says tbat he bas had fe.OOO te bet
en Cleveland and Thurman for two weeks
past He says he Is witling te glve odds,
but the Harrison and Morten tnen he has
met, and he has met seme rich ones, have
bad no deslre te take btm up. He is new
r(1y le make any reasonable overtures te
place the money. The Sun bas his name.
There was something en. slde of usutl In
terest when a Republican leader announced
that he waa ready te bet en Cleveland nnd
Thurman. He will bet at thn rate off 100
te ISO, and he will meet all Harrison aud
Morten plungers en tbat basis. Questioned
as te his attitude, he said that he was n Re
publican and a fighting ene, but tbat senti
ment was ene thing and boedlo another.
He will vete for tbe Republican candidates,
but he thinks tbe muney is te ba made
betting against thorn.
Chairman Brloe, of the Domeara'lo na
tional oemmlttoe, told a reporter en Satur
day tbat exceedingly encouraging reperts
had been received from New Yerk, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohie,
lows, Wisconsin) Minnesota, Illinois and
Mleblgan. "I am convinced," he said,
"tbat tbe Repub'leana will net make a fight
In New Yerk, but we will net relax our
etlnrta en that account."
Chairman Khmer was in Wilkosbarre en
Saturday and held an Important conference
with tbe lecat Democratic leaders. Tbe
latter told the chairman tbat a big Deme
cratle victory In Luzerne oeunty this year
was an assured fact Colonel Hod(erd,onoof
the leading Democrats In that soatlen, said
there was net a ripple en the Democratle
surface In tbe Uve counties Luzerne, Lack
awana, Columbia, Menteur and Wyoming.
Luzerne will give Cleveland from 1,800 te
2,300 meilty. The Republican cry about
the tarlfl has fallen very Hat en the ears et
the worklngmen In the coal regions. The
Republicans tbomielves bave been com
pelled te leave the great Republican battle
cry In the background, and for this reasnn
tbe miners and mine laborers leek upon the
protection ery as a big farce. All the tlme
while the Republicans are howling for pro
tection for tbe peer man the coal operators
oentlnuo te Impert cheap pauper labor te
work thelr mines. Frem Kulghtaet Laber
statistics It is learncd tbat 2,000 Peles, Hun
garians and Italians came te the Luzsrne
coal fields lest year. The Welsh, who
usually vote tbe Republican tlcket, are dead
set against tbe protoctien cry.
The Produce Independent Merchant's

After illnner Messrs. Nlssley and Ks Wo We
man stated that they desired te bring te tbe
attention or the beard eharges whteh had
been made against Night Watchman Her
sbey. They said they had learned tbat the
watchman had at dlflerent times taken
notes from ene prisoner te anotber. They
had Investigated thn matter and learned
from Mrs. Cever, a prisoner, that llerabey
had oirrled notes te her from her husband,
who Is also a prisoner in thn Institution.
Once he had handed her anote nnd at
another time he threw ene lu the hole

the watchman was tbat early in the morn
ing be had at dltlerent, times gene Inte the

and slept ter an hour or mero at a time.
This the inspectors had learned outside el
the prison. They had been told by prison
ers recently released, who had werked In
tbe bake beuse, that they saw llershey
sleeping while en duty and could have
taken his keys and revolver from him.
The watebman waa brought befere the
beard te make a statemenf. He said that
wben he first went nn duty he did carry a
note from Cever te his wile, en ene occa
sion only, but did it without thinking;
afterwards he relused te de se. He dentcd
the truth of the oharge tbat he had slepf,
but Bald tbe reperts wero started by prison

who thought tills unnecessary, recently
gave orders tbat no prisoners should be
taken out et tbelr cells before 5 o'clock, It
was also shown tbat the watchmen went
oil duty at I) o'elook lu the morning, and
tbe boss baker did net arrive until 7 o'elcok,
During that hour the prisoners were In tbe
bake heuse alnne without a guard of any
kind. Mr. Kaby, the baker, wasoalled
before tbe beard. He stated that he had
always been told te ceme te
work at seven o'clock, but was will
ing te ceme at any tlme the Inspectors
would name. Tbe beard seemed surprlstd
te learn tbat persons were taken from tbelr
eells te work at such hours, and they all

and belt Aoress thn front of the shirts are
the letters "L. A. H." which nre the Initials

The new club prosented n nlne composed
entlrely of empleyes of the mill with ene
exception, and that was the pitcher. The
man who did the twirling ter thorn was
Andy Molcher, of Christiana, late of the

clever pitcher. The Athletle team was
changed semewhat from tbe last game, and

thin nlnoteen of them and they secured
but enn hit, whleh was a scratch, Afila
bach was net hit bard by any means, and
be showed that he is msda et geed stuff.
Considering the fset tbat he had net played
tbe position in a long tlme, Myers caught
Molehtr very well. Zecher was behind
the bat for the Atliloileo, but he injured
his hand early In the game, and (Helm ro re ro
lluved him, doing well. The fielding of
tbe two clubs was only fair ; but
ihore wero seme geed plays. The mill boys
loekod llke wlnneis In tbe elglilh Inning,
when they had two men en bases and a
long ball was nent te contra Held. Rellly
orushed thelr hopes, bowever, by making
a splendid running catch. The winning
run waa finally made nn an error by
Albright, wbe allowed McOrady's het ball
