Hoara Brown, Oldeat Soldier.
Hoeea Brown, of Grant' I'aa, Ore
ton, is one of the six urvivors of the
r of 1812. When Mr. Brown mi
lorn the French revolution was at Its
leight anil the United; States was a
uere baby of a republic. He la a na
ive of Westmoreland, Cheshire Coun
y, in New Hampshire, and is Just 105
ream old His father fought In the
evolutionary war and w as wounded in
ine of the early engagements near Bos
on. Hoeea la one of thirteen children

tevlty. One of hla brothers lived to be

times. Three months of the winter he
ittended school, and the other seasons
f the year he 8ent on the farm. uen
he reached the age of 20 hla father gave
aim a little money and Hoaea went to
New York and worked on a farm in
that State for 1 12 a month.
About tnla time the United States en
tered upon Its second war with Eng
land, and young Brown liecame a pri
vate In the company of Captain Btir
ria' New York Volunteers and march
rd to the defense of Sackett's HarlKr,
Lake Ontario. When the enemy' boats
began to come Into view one of the
American commanders, who had spok
tn of eating the British at sight, talked
U-m valiantly, and as be saw the ahlps
coming at him in a swarm, he doubted
She ability of the American force to
withstand the red-coats. He said ho
thought It would be advisable to re
treat A the boats approached the
shore this militiaman said to hla sol
diers: "I know we shall have to re
treat, and as I am a little lame I'll start
now." And away be went. The United
States commander (Brown, by name,
too), waa ashamed of hla compatriot
and tried to stop the cowards, but
could not. The command to which
Hosea Brown belonged refused to run
with 1U friends and stood Its ground
unflinchingly. The battle was against
luch odd, however, that a retreat was
necessary. The United States generals
sent word to the flying militiamen that
the enemy had been repulsed. This llt
11.. trick had 1 lift desired effect, and
Hack came the boys, who redeemed their
lost honor by converting almost certain
dlaaater Into a glorloue victory.
When his term of service expired
rnnm? Rrown returned to his old home.
At the age of 24 years he married Miss
Hester Smith, who bore Win two boys
and three girls. In 1825 he went to
otnraiisna Countr. New York, and
with no money made hi real start In
life He built a cabin for himself
wnrklnr unon It at night, and earning a
few cents by thrashing grain for his
neighbors during the day. In this place
he lived forty years, and in that time
lout liv death his entire family. In
1857 he went to Missouri; sold out his
property In New lork, and for a time
stopped In Worth County. Tiring of
liviiiir alone, ho flnallr removed to the
home of hi grandaou, Orr Brown, with
whom he now resides.
Notwithstanding hla great age, Mr
Brown retalus all his faculties. His
head Is clear, bis memory good, and his
nerves steady, nut ne una not walked
fur three veara. lie lives In a comfort
able chair, and cordially receive the
visitors who call to see the old soldier
nf the war of 1812.
Under the original pension law Mr.
Rrown received a month. Till Pen
lon was Increased ten yeans ago to $12,
and in 1801 Mr. Brown was granted a
pedal pension of MO a month. Last
year, In consideration of bla extreme
age, hla stipend was further Increased
in f.V) a month. He la the olileat sol
ilicr receiving a pension, and the clerks
In the office take a special pleasure In
nmmrlnr Ida voucher and remitting
the money before any other old soldier
I nain.
During the past year a most remark-
nlilo ilianin has come to him. For
tlfty years hla hair, thick and soft, has
been perfectly gray. Sir month ago

. PrmMent Lincoln, who irreatlv enlov
ed stort.w about the humorous prank
of soldiers, once told Mr. Noah Brooks
the following:
At the cl nf aevere engagement
A soldier, badly wounded, was being
carried to the rear, when he espied
Miner woman hawking some very

"1 say, oid lad,", called the soldier,
who may have come from a Massachu

from this that I live Tor amusemeui.
On the contrary. I work like a beaver

Thus checrllv rrrote Lydla Maria
rtiilrl tn a friend during the second year
of the war, and she followed her lime
burst of enthusiasm for her rainbows
by an enumeration of recent labors in
behalf of soldier, hospitals and con
tralmnds, such as may well have kept
her hnsr as a bee. or a beaver.
Txmtr after the war wn elided and tne
slaves set free. Mrs. Child, then living

"She received us In a little slttln;

The visitors drew on the lovely oM
ladv to talk of her anti-slavery experi

Phelps-Ward asked her how, in assist
ing fugitive slaves, she was able to
guard against fraud-to know just
whom she might safely trust and help.
" 'Oh,' she replied, 'there was a pass
word! It carried any escaping slave
through the underground railway to

Chicago, Nov. 5. The following
signed statement was issued from re
publican national headquarters last
night:
Considering the wild rumors which
are being circulated inrougnout me
country we deem it proper and advisable
to state the result of the election, as in
dicated by the returns and confirmed by
telegrams to this office from the chair
men of the several state committees and
the members of the national committee
in the several states. McKinley has
carried beyond a doubt a sufficient num
ber of states so that his vote in tbe elec
toral college will not be less than 204.
These states are th6 following, with the
electoral vote of each state.
California 9, Connecticut 6, Delaware
3, Illinois 24, Indiana 15, Iowa 13. Maine
6, Maryland 8, Massachusetts 15, Michi
gan 14, Minnesota 4, New Hampshire 4,
New Jersey 10, New York 36, Jort)i Da
kota 3, Ohio 23, Oregon 4, Pennsylvania
32. Rhode Island 4, South Dakota 4,
Vermont 4, West Virginia 6, Wisconsin
12. Total 204.
In addition to these the states of Ken
tucky, North Carolina and W yoming
are in doubt, with the chances about
even in the three states, although the
republicans in Kentucky claim the state
will give its electoral vote to McKinley
by a majority of not less than 3,000.
It is proper to give the hasis of tlie
claims in the disputed states. Advices
late last evening from California plxci
the majority in that state at 8,000. Tin
is confirmed by press reports. Tele
grama from Indiana, from the dmmuai
of the state republican central com
mittee and the member of the national
committee show that the state hag given
not less than 2o.UUU and prooauiy over
10.000 for McKinley and that tlie re
publicans have elected all the membeiH
of congress and carried the legislature
bv a maioritv of foitv on joint ballot.
Telegrams from North and South Da
kota, which have been confirmed by the
Dress reports received, place the ma
inritv in these ftates at a little morr
than 5.000 in North Dakota and aboui
1,500 in South Dakota. In North Da
kota we have elected the entire slate
ticket and carried the legislature. In
South Dakota the legwlature is in
loubt. There is no possible foundation
lor the report being circulated that Mr
Brvan has carried any of the sta'.us
placed in the sure column for McKinley

London, Nov. 6. The election of Ma
jor McKinley to the presidency of the
United States had a marked effect upon
American securities here Wednesday.
Business on the Stock exchange opened
with a rush to buy. Milwaukee and
Louisville led the advance, quickly fol
lowed by the entire list, with advaneee
of 2 to 6 per cent, which sent the brok
ers flying hatless in every direction to
join in the wild hubbub Inside, while in
the streets customers were coming up
by dozens. According to the general
mpression tbe result will be a rapid
liminution of the gald withdrawals for
the United Sates, and ttieie is no doubt
that Major McKinley's election favor
ably affected the Stock exchange
throughout. Consolf opened per
ent higher than yesterday.
The Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Frank
fort Stock exchanges were in excellent
tone and active yesterday in conse
quences of the result of the election in
the United States and the dealings in
American securities showed advances.
A leading English broker in an inter
view with a representative of the Asso
ciated press said: ''McKinley's election
has helped the whole market. Large
buying orders from New York were
sent after the result of the electiou was
known in the United States and started
the market."
The Star remarks: "We in England
have great right to rejoice at the over
whelming defeat of the at'ack on the
gold standard. The sound common
sense of the American people has saved
the republic from worse than civil or
foreign war."
The Sun says: "Th great republic
as risen magnificently to a great oc-
- , , , i .1 i.
casion. f utting out oi signi tne remits
to thin country which must follow a
fresh access of McKinleyism no one who
is friendly to the United States can
view the prospect without alarm."
The Pall Mall Gazette says: "The
decision is accepted with universal con
sent in this country as being emphati-'
cally to Ihe credit of the American elec
torate."
United States Ambassador Bayard
received Wednesday evening from the
London office of the Associated press
dispatches regarding the election. A
representative of the Associated press
had an interview with Mr. Bayard yes-,
terday, who said : "The keynote that
rises above the confusion and excite
ment and rejoices my ear is that the
people of the United States, guided by
the instincts of patriotism and self-pres
ervation, regardless of past party affilia
tions, have unmistakably repudiated
repudiation in any form, and instructed
those who seek official power that they
must at least 'assume a virtue if they ,
have it not.' and that public and pri
vate obligations must be placed beyond
the reach of the pDlitical Jack Cades of
this century. It will strongly tend to
re-establish international confidence n
the stability and security of property
entrusted to democratic govrnments,
and to harmonize the national interests
and assist good relations. I, in common
with all London, have received the news
of McKinley's election i'h delight and
eitisfact on. Beyond this I cannot
comment either upon the campaign, the
use made of our name, or discuss the
monetary future." ,
Harry Marks, proprietor of the Finan
cial News, says the news gave unbound
ed satisfaction in English financial
circles. He said: "But I still think
there will be a reaction in a few days,
The Industrial element fears a return of
high protection. Although for the pres
ent the financial question is settled, 1
think the advance in prices is somewhat
frothv. While the English capitalist
regard gilt-edged railway stocks favor
ably, they know they are in the hands
of cliques of speculators rather than in
the hands of investors, and there may
be rate wars. Therefore, I see nothing
to cause big dealing in these stocks."
The Evening Standard makes this
statement: "Although McKinley is the
champion of the fiscal policy designed
to close the ports of the United States
to British goods, there can be no doubt
that his defeat of the free silver can
didate Is a matter of satisfaction in
this country."
A Renult of Klectlon.
Omaha, Nov. 6 One of the best evi
dences of the business view of the result
of the election is shown in this telegram
from Mr. J. Edward Simmons, presi
dent of the New York Clearing House
association:
New York, N. Y., Nov. 6. Henry
W. Yates, Nebraska National Bank,
Omaha : The overwhelming success of
McKinley and Hobart relieves the busi
ness community of a tension that has
been most severe, and gives assurance
to all the world of the maintenance of
our government upon the basis of law
and order and of the payment of all it
obligations in the best money of the
world. This is a triumph not of partr,
but of principle, and all good citizen!
hould congratulate themselves Upon a
victory which can only be most benefi
cial in its far reaching results. Accept
my thanks for the information yon hive
kindly given me. Money is easy at this
center, and our markets are buoyant.
