fly 9 o'clock In the morning the western
corridors of the big gray bulldiug which
( shelters the State , War and Navy departments -
ments of the United Stales arc thronged
with men. In every room omciala and their
clerka are busy with some detail of the
greatest buelness enterprise launched In this
country since the rebellion-the handling
and equipment of an army of 200,000 men.
Along the hall hurry officers in uniform
and clerks In civilian dress engaged in some
errand connected with the work.
In and around the ofilces of the secretary
and his assistnnla Is gathered n crowd of
senators and congressmen , newspaper reporters -
porters , contractors , men with schemes and
men looking for appointments , all clamoring
for attention. Gradually these early callers i
are dispersed or directed Into proper chan
aols by the uniformed attendants who guard i
every door , but their places are taken by
others , and all day long , until the big doors
close against the vublle , the rush continues ,
It Is the busiest spot In the United Stales ,
The army that flies through the War department -
partment every day is probably as large as
that intended to subdue the Philippines.
Between 9 and 10 the head of this vast
oslabllslunent makes his appearance. Secretary -
tary Alger Is a tall , spare nun with a fresh ,
ruddy complexion , a well-trimmed military
will be investigated and directs his secretary
to look Into henry's case.
A summons comes from the president and
the secretary puts on his hat and walks
across to the White ( louse for a consultation
with the president and the commander of
the army in regard to the pending military
operations. These consultations are very
frequent , for ] 'resident McKinley keeps in
constant touch with all the operations of the
army and navy.
In an hour the secretary is back at his
deck , and , in company with Assistant Secretary -
tary Meiklejohn , goes over sonic orders and
drafts which it is necessary for him to sign.
Then there are more callers , more solicitations -
tions for appointments , and more papers to
be signed.
These brief examples may give some idea
of the variety of subjects on which the sec ,
rotary of war must keep a constant mental
grasp ; they can convey no impression of the
Intense physical and mental strain to which
ho is daily and continually subjected. All
the multiform acllvilles of the various
bureaus In his department come before him
for final consideration and review , lie must
keep the president informed of the work
done ; he must obtain from congress the
funds to do it with ; he must see that it is
done promptly and economically.
'I'II ( ' Secretary's PerslltIsIl It ) ' .
All this entails a great stress of mind
and holy , which only a man accustomed
to dealing with large affairs would be equal
to. Happily the present secretary of war
is such a man , lie is typically American do
this respect lie does not become excited
in dealing in millions or facing grave problems -
lems that require instant decision , The
Impression lie gives one at first meeting Is
that of a nun of careful , conservative , well-
balanced mind , his manner is deliberate
and In coiversnlion lie speaks slowly , almost -
most to the point of hesitation ; but he
shows the ability to grasp a situation iuid
to go right to the heart of a problem.
In spite of General Alger's sprightly
movements and unruffled countenance , the

gray eyes deep set under shaggy brows.
Ho carries his 02 years effeclually concealed
somewhere about his well knit , vigorous
person and enters his ofilco with a sprightly
step and a pleasant smile for any of his
acquaintances whom he happens to meet.
Ho makes his way rapidly through the
waiting crowd lit the ante-room to his private -
vato of lce , where ho fit once seats himself
at the desk and runs through the papers
which his secretary has arranged for his
Inspectlot. Then he is ready for the deluge
of callers ,

sisteiit 11(1(1 is sent off t0 see the adjntnnt

slight variation of It , is repeated a score
of tulles before the morning is over.
A member of the House connilttee on ap-
1 printimis conies briskly in , greets the sec'o-
Lary ( ainIIinn y , and at once plunges lute a
' , discussion of the naomt of money required
by the \\'ui departutent for carrying on Its
work , General Alger is evidently printed
on this subject , for lie produces typewritten
sheets covered with esthnates , which he ext -

pended for a , few inotnenls , while a foreign

Impression ho makes on one in conversation
with him is that of a man who is very tired ,
One who has seen the tide of humanity that
beats against him In his ounce , and the mass
of hard work that he wades through every
clay will readily believe that the air is not
assumed , Still it cannot be said that the
wear and tear of his position Is using him
up. lie assured the writer that his health
was goad that he could not wish to feel
better , and that ho was sanguine of lasting
through this war and a good many years of
peace.
The career of the present secretary of war
Is as typically American as the ! Ian himself.
As has been the case with many another
man who has taken a prominent part in
public affairs , his birthplace was Ohio , on
a pioneer's farm near the little town of
Lafayette , In Medina county , Ills parents
had moved westward from New England and
came of a sturdy Scotch and English stock.
Until lie reached his majority young Alger
remained in the little Ohio town , lie
worked on the farm In summer and attended
the itlchneld academy in winter , For two
winters he varied this program by teach-
leg school , and then , with a few dollars
saved , he went to Akron , 0 „ and began
the study of law. lie was admitted to the
bar ht 1869 , but decided that the law provided -
vided too slow a way of getting on in the
world , and so went to Michigan in 1800 to
engage in business ,

ernor of his slate , and was prominently

. General Alger is fortunate in his present
onerous positiat in having ellleient nil ex-
perlencel assistants and s(1bordiuntes. The
adjutant general looks after the voluininous
work of organizing the army ; the eonunls-
sary general , the quhrternmster general and
thu surgeon general see to lire provision
of thu stores which they need ht their do-
partiuents ; and so thoroughly Is their work
done that it requires little more than su-
pervtslon on the port of the secretary. Assistant -
sistant Secretary Melkiejohn takes a large
part of the load off his shoulders. Hut as

l'erliaps very tow people know that Ilan
Enuuett , who w rote Dixie , is still living.
Ills home is In Mount Vernon , 0 „ where
ho was born and where he hopes to cud his
days. The old man Is a picturesque figure
on the streets of the town , relates the Phll-
ndelphia Times , In his prime he was one
of the mid-century dandies of Now York
City , but now , with calm indifference to the
conventional , ho usually carries a long staff
and wears his coat fastened In at ( ho waist
by a bit of rope.
His home is a little cottage on the edge
of the town , where lie lives entirely alone.
On almost any warns afternoon he can be
found seated before his door reading , but
ho is ready enough to talk with the chance
visitor , whose curiosity to meet the coin-
poser of one of the national songs of America -
ica has brought him out from town ,
It ( vas this curiosity that took me to ( lie
cottage , The old composer was seated in
the shade by his house with a 'nook open
before him. As I went up the path I said ,
for I had some doubt in my own mind ;
"Are you Dan Emmett , who wrote
' ' '
'Dixie ?
"Well , I have heard of the fellow ; sit
down , " and ho motioned to the steps.
" \\'on't you tell me how the song was
written ? "
"Like most overythlng else I ever did , because -
cause 1t had to be done , One Saturday
night , in 1869 , as I was leaving Bryant's
theater , where I was playing , Bryant called
after me , 'I want a walk-round for Monday ,
Dan. '
"The next day it rained and I stayed in-
doors. At first when I went at the song
I couldn't get anything. But a line , ' 1 wish
I was in Dixie , ' kept repeating itself In
my mind , and I finally took it for my start ,
'rhe rest wasn't long In coming. And that's
the story of how 'Dixie' was written.
"It made a hit at once , and before time
end of the week everybody In New York
was whistling lt. Then the south took it
up and claimed it for its own. I sold the
copyright for $600 , which was all I ever made
from it. I'll show you may first copy' , " lie
went Into the house and returned in a moment -
ment with a yellow , worn-looking mamn-
scrlpt in his hand.
"That's 'Dixie ; " ho said , "I am going
to give It to some historical society in ( lie
south one of these days , for , though I
born here in Ohio , I count myself a southerner -
erner , as my father was a Virginian , "
half a century , ago Emmett was a famous
"nigger" minstrel. Those s'ere Use baiuy
days of burnt cork and art , when Bryant'a
theater of lower Broadway was one of the
host popular resorts 1n New York City. Ent
melt w'us born in 1816 , at Mount Vernon ,
coming of a family all of whose members
had a local reputation-sllll traditional in
the country-as nutsiciais. In his own case
this talent was but little less than a crude
hull undeveloped sort of genius ,
lie began life as a printer , but soon aban-
dmied his trade to join the band of a circus -
cus company. lie was not long in discovering -
ing that he could Compose songs of the kind
In use by clowns. One of the finest of these
was "Old Ouu Tucker" of pleasant , if inebriate -
briate memory. Its success was so great
that Eimiet ( followed it with many others.
They were all negro melodies , and they all
won popularity.
Fitally he look to negro impersoiatlois ,
singing his own songs in the ring , while he
ncconipnnied himself an the banjo. Ile nude
a specialty of old nice , and he. assured me
with pride that when lie hind Idackened his
face and donned his wig of kinky whltr
hair he was "the best old negro ( lint ever
lived. " lie became such a favorite with
the patrons of the circus In the south and
west that at last , partly by chance and
partly through Intention , lie invnded the
stage himself.
Tits was sonic time in 1842 , at the old
Chatham theater , iii New York City , when ,
with two coutpinions , he gave a mixed performance -
formance , nmde up largely of songs and
dnncea typical of slave Ilre aid character.
'rliu little troupe was billed as the "Vir-
ginia Mlnstrels , " and their popularity with
the public svgs in5aiitnuenus ( ,
'rhls was the beginning of negro muli-
strelsy. From New York the pioneer con-
pal w elil to Boston , and Inter on sailed
'o Englnil , leaving ( he newly discovered
field to the host of imitators who were
rapidly dividing their success with them.
Enmiett re ialned nbroad for several
yra's , sal when he returned to New York
joined Dmni II ryant's 111nstrel cmnpnny at
(72 ( llroadway. Ina was engaged to write
songs nil walk rounds sal to take part in
time nightly performniiccs. It was while hu
was with Bryant ( lint "Dixie" was rani ,
iwrd.
Strangely enough , "Dixie , " or "Dixie-
laiid , " referred not to the south or to any
part of lie courb. It was the nnme of an
estate o(1 lhtuhnttan island , ( lie property of
u nuut named Dlxy , wits svns one of the largest
est slavebolders of his day until ( lie rapid
growth of time ant l slovery movement in the
north compelled him to sell his slaves
south. It wmis from these blacks and their
desceminnts that the words "Dixie" laid
came , expressing their love anti longing for
their former hone nod raster.

Dress , the colonel took a hand with hardtack -

out yet , " he said , " ( lint they ltd not kick
good and plenty against the army cracker.
It was so when I went as lieutenant with a
lot of raw recruits , There was next thing
to a mutiny. They vowed ( lint hardtack
had less taste than air , water , sponge or
cork. They designated it na solidified ioth-
lu g brlltled in a desert Lent. The govern-
munt was Inveighed against as ilia worst
kind of a provider and the growlers would
punish eacli other by telling what good

heard a groan from a hundreti throats wlien
soma fellow would yell 'pie' ' just as a taunt
and self-relief.
"On Clio tlrst expedition entrusted to the
boys I managed to have bread issued for
thorn amt they wore tickled beyond expres-
sion. Before the end of the second day the
bread was sour. The next day it was far
worse and simply defied anything better
that a starving appetite , Before we got
back to camp they score fairly crying for
hardtack as children do for ginger bread

Our army was making a forced march and

orders to advance came before we bad limn

we'd go carrying our allowance of flour
When caught in a rainstorm the flour would
be changed to paste , and when we tried
to cook it in this form it was about as
digestible as grape and canister. We had

The splendid physical condition of the
regiments recruited In the Reeky mountnha

base , where the cowboys flourish , is a frequent -
quent subject of remark among the western
I papers. The dwellers in these reglois are
' from the same stock us their eastern fellow ,
countrymen , many of them Indeed are pa-
tives of the east , but the maguificcnt climate -

soldier boys arriving were time volunteers
from the state of Montana , mid a sturdy np-
pearing set , indeed , are they. True , the
major portion of the regiment is not very
well equipped ; Indeed , large numbers of the
soldiers have no equipment wlmtsoever beyond -
yond a cartridge belt with scabbard and
bayonet , against which , as the' marched ,
rattled a tin cup , plate , fork , knife and
spoon , But what the volunteers lacked in
their outward appurtenances of war they

shoulders. Fresh from the mountiiious regions -
gions of Montana , where in the mines they
had worked so hard and develope'l much
muscle , the Montana lraaps renlly are

have been favorably commented upon in this
respect , but thus far Montana surpasses even
