GEN , OUSTER'S MONUMENT ,
West Point No Longer Disflgnred by
Its Presence ,
Mrs. UiiRtcr'8 EftorlB Crowned with
MUCOCBB A. Story of ilio kfll *
cicnov of Art Committees ,
New York Commercial Advertiser.
For aomo tlmo the picturcsqaoblufTj of
West Point have boon disfigured by n cu >
ilotia combination of absurdities popular
ly known as the Caster monument. It
was placed in KB prominent potitlon
through ronpoct for the gallaut general
by his brother oflicciM in the ormy. It
lisa boon vlaltod by hundroda of his for *
mor companions ; bur , with perhaps tbo
eioglo czcoptlon of the sculptor who did
the deed , they have regretted the proa-
enco of such an unsightly memorial to
such a nob'.o caroor. Now , however , the
monument is no longer there. It has
boon removed , boxed np , nnd placid
among a lot of other rubbish in a storage
building. Mis , Cutter and the friends
of the dead general have every reason to
congratulate thomsclven.
A curious history attaches to this unfortunate -
fortunate utatao. A fund was begun
by the Now York Herald soon after Gen.
Ouster lost his life in the massacre of the
Llttlo Big Horn. The fnud was sub
scribed to by all classes of the dead sol
dier's countrymen. Actors , journalists ,
ialdierj , sallow , oven newsboy * , contrib
uted. Finally about $8,000 , iras raised.
This iras to form the nucleus of n
larger amount. It was the intention
of the persona who subscribed to
make the suQlclontly largo to enable -
able some competent and famous
artist to treat his subject In a worthy
manner. The fund was placed in the
care of Mr. A. S. Sullivan , Mr. Thur-
low Weed and Gen. Hancock. They
were to drcido upon the artist and upon
the preliminaries of construction andua-
veiling. The almost universal character
of the movement gave much pleasure to
Mra. Cuator.
Meanwhile n sculptor in this city ,
whoso name is J. Wilson MaoDonald ,
conceived the idea that it would add
something to his fame to have bis name
on the baio of the Ouster monument.
Ho went to work. Ho made n model of
what ho thought the monument should
bo. Although Mrs. Ouster was in town
at the tlmo , McDonald took no pains to
BOO her , and so disregarded the important
details which she could have given him.
Slip was anxious to plaoo the general's '
uniform , arms and photographs in the
bands of the chosen artist , but McDon
ald , with a supreme reliance on his
Imagination , set to work without any of
these things and finished his model to his
satisfaction. By dint of unmitigated
perseverance , MaoDonald succeeded in
tormenting the gentlemen who composed
, the trust committee Into placing the
§ 7.000 at lib disposal.
Then , for the first tlmo , Mrs. Cuator
was informed of what had boon dune.
Ono day she broke the teal of a latter
addressed to her , and found tint it con
tained an invitation to the nnvoillng of
the statue of her husband at West Point.
She was both astonished and pleased that
the culmination of her wishes had come
so soon. But what was her horror when ,
upon opening an illustrated journal , sbo
sow the statue in all Its catch-penny de
tail. It showed Gen. Ouster in the
midst of his last fight , with a sword in
ono hand and a revolver in the other ,
clad in along-tail dross uniform coat and
a common troopers' top boots , and in tbo
position so welt known to every reader
of dime novels , as particularly character
istic of Kit Oarson orWild Bill. " The
artist had avoided the most widely known
of the soldiers'habits. He had given a
man of thirty-seven yoara the face of a
decrepit , jabbering rain of seventy. Ho
had taken all the romance- out of the
general's personality , and left him
brawling cowboy. While encaged In his
work McDonald went to Washington
and succeeded in getting a bill through
conures' , authorizing tbo appropriation
of $10,000 worth of government cannon
to be used In the statue.
The aspect of the statute almost brko
Mrs. Ouster's spirit. Bat in splto of her
endeavors , the work was finallay placed
in the military reservation at West Point
From that time on she hoard nothing of
friends , or through the nowcpipsrs , sivo
unqualified condemnations of the per
formance. She was utterly disheartened
and for a time rollhgubhed all hopsa that
her husband's memory would over bo
properly honored.
Same time of tor iho statute was nn-
vollod , a number of the general's brother
officers wrote to Mrs. Castor asking her
why sbo made no effort to have the Insult
to her husband removed from West
Point , She thnn determined to make an
effort , and appealed to Mr , Lincoln , who
was then Secretary of war. Upon an ex
amination of the act of congress it was
found that it did not say definitely where
the statute should bo placed , save that
its cite should bo chosen on tbo military
reservation at West Point. Mr. L'ncoln ' ,
in replying to Mrs. Coster , catd that ha
agreed with her that the insult to Gen.
Ouster's memory should bo removed , and
promised thbtlt chonld be dono. Satis
fied that she would find , upon her return ,
that the strtuo had been removed , Mrs
Ouster wont to Europe. There she met
ono of the most famous of our American
sculptors who told her that if aha sue
ceedod in having the statue taken away
she would accomplish moro than a simple
success. Such a removal was an unheard
of thlngi In fact it was much easier to
have a monument erected than to have it
removed.
When Mrs. Castor returned from Ea
rope , she w&s told that the unsightly
work of MacDonald still occupied its
prominent position at West Point. She
again applied to the secretary of war ,
who informed her that if she secured the
ooniont of the chief subscribers to the
fund for ita erection , ho would g'adly
give order * for its removal. This she
did. uho mot with ready and thankfu *
acquiescence to her proposition , and las
February the statao was boxed up and
put in storage. Whou taken from iti
base , Mrs. Ouster endeavored tc
hare it sent to the battloCel
and erected as n memorial of he
husband there , with the fond hope the
relic-hunters would carry it away piece
meal and so destroy it forever , But thli
was not to be , for Mr. Lincoln observed
"If the monument Is not suitable feWest
West Point , it would bo oven lesi de
slrable trhero your husband died. "
The gentleman who formed the origin
al committee- award never undo any
explanation of their conduct to Mrs ,
Ouster. They simply kept silent. Thi
biso of the statute is now at the head o
the General's grave at West Point , , I

Tticy Cull Him an AnmUmr Soldier.
St Louis Kjpubllcan.
The woeful incapjclty of the English
people tonrriva at a true appreciation of
things mllitiry is shown by the London
proes in characterizing Capt. Howard ,
ho Galling gunner of the Canadian cam-
, ) algn , as an "amateur soldier. " Dipt ,
Howard ii nothing of the sort. Ho is
simply a commercial traveller , employed
by the pun manufacturer to toll his
wares. Like all other enterprising
American commercial travelers ho is al
ways ready to ehow his samples and ox-
ilalu their practical qualities. The fact
.hat ho soils Gitllng guns docs not make
ilm a warrior. That ho wont across the
-ino and joined Gen. Middloton's army
was not duo to any belligerent propensity
but to the unerring Instinct of trade
which always seeks a market ) where there
's n demand for its wares. At
ho battle of Batoucho , wo
TO told , the rebels , taking ad-
antaga of a thiokot , crept up unobspr-
od to within a faw yards of Gen. Mid-
leton's pot battery , and having shot
.own a lot of nrlllloryuion , madea rusher
or their guns which they already re-
ardod as tholr certain trophies. But
Copt. Howard was just at that moment
ixhlbltlng his samples. Ho pushed the
Sailing quickly forward ou the flank and
'literally mowed the rebels down. "
kVhat for ? Ho would doubtlots have
iroferred to bo far away from the whistle
f bullets. Ho had no feeling of ani
mosity against the insurgents , but ho
lew them. Ho mowed them down sim-
ly to show how his gun would work ,
o doubt ho had , after the manner of
ommorclal travellers , extolled his wares
n somewhat extravagont terms whioh
may oven have excited expressions of in-
rodulity from the artillerymen of the
ronto battery. When that battery
os in peril ho sow his oppor-
.nnlty to show his gun was all ho had
lalmed for It. And so ho slow the
oboh , saved the battery and in the
lopd of his victims established hia in-
oliblo record as the veracious agent for
10 sale of n valuable military imple-
icnt. Thera wcro diverj nnd various
, uns on trial. Ho had regularly entered
or the competition. The Canadian
Irummors wore sounding the charge arid
ho Yankee- drummer would have been
lisa to the interests of his employer had
,0 , omitted any possible maana to demon-
trato the superiority of his weapon.
Ho went to the Saskatchewan simply as
peaceful commercial traveller. He
ill return with a cortlficato from the
arty that burled the slain , setting forth
hat the mangling was scioatlficilly douo
md that his machine is to other * as a
modern reaper to an ancient slcklo.
herefore it is wrong to call him on
matour soldier. Ho probably had no
dee that ho was soldering. Ho ro
louncod all claim to the title of soldlei

"Tho s'ght ' of those derricks carries
my mind back to aomo stirring scones in
the oil business , " said Peter Wilson , of
Braddock , to a Dispatch reporter ycster
day afternoon , as a Walls accommodation
train , coming to the city , pulled up at
Homowood.
"Tell mo about them , put in the ra-
porter , on the lookout for an itom.
"I am not in the business now , " con-
tinned Mr. Wilson. For the past ton
years I have been engaged In mercantile
pursuits , on a small ecalo. I travel considerably -
sidorably , and every two or three months
take a trip to the oil country , partly on
business , but chitllf to BOO such of my
old comrades as are still alive , and to re
visit the scenes of some of my adven
tures. "
"What branch of the business did you
pursue ? Worn you producer , speculator ,
broker , or whaU'1
"I was producer for a while , until
my territories gave out. Then I engaged
as a scant , working at diflorcnt times for
men In Pittsburg , Oil City and Bradford.
I should , perhaps explain as I go along
that a scout is expected to find out all
tlio cecrcts of the region in which ho
operates ; and especially Is ho expected to
keep hla employers posted on such 'nulls
as are termed 'mysterious , ' whioh are
used to manipulate the market , and are
as carefully guarded as are the crown
jewoh of Great Britain.
"Ono day I received a dispatch , in
cipher from my Bradford employer toll
ing mo to drop down on a well about
wh'ch there was a great deal of talk ,
some holding that It wni a stunner , while
others maintained It amounted to noth
ing. It was a 'mystery * at all
events , and as such was kept , as 1 may
soy , under lock and koy. Nearly all of
my work had to bo done at night to avoid
observation , and even then I did not al
ways eecspo detection by the lynx-eyed
guardians of the oloaginoous secrets.
"I started about the middle of the
afternoon , so as to reach the scene of
operations by nightfall. It was in Juno ,
and the weather was very warm , Clouds
began to gather. Heavy thunder and
lightning succeeded. I couldn't BOO a
tree or a log a yard ahead of me. This
was just what I wanted. I thought the
storm would drive the guardians of the
well under cover , and give mo a good
chance to unravel the ' '
'mystery. I was
well armed , as I always was on thesa oc
casions ,
"I slipped along as cautiously as I
could in the darkness until within about
fifty 0if yards of the well , when a flish of
lightning revealed the form of a man
standing , directly in my path , and not
more than twenty stops from mo. Ho
had heard mo moving through the brush ,
and suspecting I was a scout , made ready
to give me a warm reception , I dodged
behind a tapling just as ho pulled ahe I
trigger of his repeating rifle. He didn't
hit mo , but I felt about as bad as If he I
had. Shot after shot followed In quick
succession , some of the bullets striking
the trao behind which I was standing.
By the aid of another flish of lightning I
saw that he wrs reloading his piece , and
thinking that rtas a favorable opportuni
ty to escape , I broKO for a thicket near
by. Ho did not follow me , and I soon
placed myself beyond danger. I did not
return his fire , for I did not wish to spill
blood. Scouts never fought back as long
as they had a chance to escape 'by run
ning. The Bradford paper * of the next
day contained a long and graphic account
.1di . the affair , describing it as a regular
duel , with thunder and lightning accom
paniments. : They didn't know tbo name
ol the scour , and do not know It to this
day. Of course I failed in my under
taking , but I was too gad ? to liavo es
caped being made food for crows to care
for anything clso just then. I got $50
for the night's work , failure though It
was , but I wouldn't run the same risk
again for the best well that ever broke
Biiirt.

"I had another exciting adventure at
loatt It was exciting to me a year or two
later , not fir from Oil City. As usual , I
was trying to probe a 'mystery , ' which
was situated not far from a creek. I ap
preached the. well at night , Saelng no
ono I walked boldly np to the inclosure ,
and was scribbling down a few notes a
when a heavy hand w-as laid upon my
shoulder. Turning around I confronted
a man of hugo proportions. Ho know
what I was up to. Wo clinched cash
other simultaneously. Ho was larger
and stouter than I was , and , seizing mo
around the waist , ho soon had me flat on
the ground.
" 'No shooting , ' aald ho. ' 1 won't
hurt you very much. I'll just heave
you into the croak and lot you go , but
you must never como back hare as a spy ,
or It will go Hard with you '
"With thij ho picked mo up in opita of
my resistanca and , partly carrying , [
and partly dragging me to the creek ,
tossed mo Into the stream , which was
sororal feet deep at that point. I had
left my rill a at the wollj and my pistols
wore rendered useless by the water , so I
WPS practically defenseless. All I could
do was to scramble out and break for
homo. The weather was cold , and I
nearly frozs bsfora I got to a fira. I
afterward made up with the watchman
and recovered my gun. I received only
$25 for this job. It was dearly eeraed
money , U
"You wore not always unsuccessful ,
wereyon ? "
"No. On several ocaslons I suc
ceeded in gaining all the information I
sought. One night I sot fira to a pllo of
rubbish situated a short distance from a
'mystery , ' and in the excitement that fol
lowed I gained access to the well , and
found out enough to lower the market
several polnt/j the next day. There were
a good many scouts employed about that
time , and all of them had adventures
similar to mine. I never heard of any of
them being killed , but several were
wounded , Sometimes they would fight
back when attacked , and then it was
very interesting to the spectators , If
any were about.
"Tho pay was very email , considering
the dangers encountered , and a sou t a quit

offered , Some of these men became

hundred dollars I withdrew and went

now , and while there is still considerable
tcouticg , it is not so dangerous as for
merly , nor is It attended with the same
degree of physical misery. "
