BIT OF WAR HISTORY RETOLD
Battle of Chancellnrvllle and the Part
Taken by General. Hooker,
Howard nnd Sober..
Forty years ago, In the afternoon of May
2, "a number of deer and rabbits came
bounding out of the woods" In front of the
Eleventh corps of the union army at Chan
cellorsville. Behind them came the dashing
Stonewall Jackson with 2i,000 men, and in
one hours and a half his great flanking
force had telescoped the Eleventh corp.
with Its 9,000 men and driven them back In
retreat, it happened that they had no
reserves and that tho Eleventh's line wa.
facing the front Instead of the west flank.
Oeneral Carl Schurs had foreseen the flank
attack and he had begged General O. O,
Howard, who wu. the Eleventh Corp. com
mander, to be allowed to rearrange hi. line
and face It west and to place reserves In
anticipation of this very flank movement,
but Oeneral Howard "thought" Jackson
was retreating and would not give orders
for a change of front.
Four days later the Eleventh corps and
a large part of the army of the Potamao
retreated to the Rappahannock. There
Schura'a bravo sollders found the news
paper, full of "the frightful story of the un
exampled conduct of the Eleventh corpe."
and other talcs of the "cowardly dutch
men, who had at the flr.t attack thrown
down their guns and fled In disgraceful
flight without firing a .hot." Not a
general except Schura tried to correct the
false statement. Schura'. .report of the
whole action, his request for an Investi
gation by which he ; could easily have
cleared hi. men of the dreadful slander,
were pigeon-holed by the authorities In
Washington. I
In the June McClure'a Instalment of nl.
"Reminiscences" Schura bluntly tell, the
whole tale and show, that his men bore
the brunt of the fighting and afterward
bore tho whole blame, and that they were
"elected as scapegoats" to shield those who
blundered. Schura frankly speaks out hi.
mind In regard to General O. O. Howard
and Oeneral Hooker and puts them In no
enviable light. Oeneral Schur. write.:
Pome time before noon Oeneral Howard
told me that he Was very tired and needed
deep and asked me, as second In command,
to stay at his headquarters, open all dis
patches that might arrive, and weke htm in
case there were any Of urgent Importance.
Shortly afterward a courier arrived with a
dispatch from General Hooker calling Gen
eral Howard's attention to the movement
of the enemv toward our right flank and
Instructing him to take measures to resist
an attack from that quarter. At once I
called up General Howard, read the dis
patch aloud to him and put It Into hi.
hands. We .had exchenged only a few
words about the matter when another
courier, a young officer, arrived with a sec
ond dlspstch of the same tenor. A. a
later period I .aw the document In print
and recognl.ed It clearly as the one I had
read and delivered to General Howard on
that eventful day.
To mv astonishment T found, many jear.
later. In a paper on "The Eleventh Corps
at Chancellorsvllle," written by General
Howard for the Century Magarlne. the
following sentence: "General Hooker's cir
cular order to 'Slocum and Howard' neither
reached me nor, to my knowledge. Colonel
Meysenberg, my adjutant general."
How he could have forgotten that I had
read and delivered to him that Identtcal
dispatch I find K difficult to understand,
especially as It touched so vital a point.
and as Its delivery was followed by another
animated discussion between us. In which
I most earnestly although without effect
endeavored to convince him that In case of
such an attack from the west, our right,
as then posted, would be hopelessly over"
whelmed.
There has been much speculation aa to
whether those who accused General Hooker
of having been Intoxicated during the bat
tle of Chancellorsvllle were right or wrong.
The weight of the testimony of competent
witnesses Is strongly against this theory.
It la asserted, on the other hand, that he
was accustomed to the consumption of a
certain quantity of whisky every day, that
during the battle of Chancellorsvllle he
utterly abstained from his usual potions
for fear of taking too miirh Inadvertently,
and that his brain failed to work because
he hsd not given It the stimulus to which It
had been habituated. Whichever theory
be the correct one, certain It la that to ail
appearances General Hooker', mind seemed
during those days in a remarkably torpid
condition. On no such . theories k-an we
explain Oeneral Howard's fsilure to fore
see the coming of Jackson's attack upon
our right flank for he wss a man of the
soberest habits. How he, In spite of the
reports constantly coming In, In spite of
what, without exaggeration, may be called
the evidence of his senses, could finally
conclude on May 3 that Jackson, Instead
of Intending to attack, was In full re
treat. I have never been able to under
stand, except upon the theory thst hi
mind simply failed . to draw simple con
clusions from obvious facts.

One of the features of the spring trade
has been the tine position In wnlch collec

of trade than at the present time. Some
financial stringency was reported during
the first part of April In a few Jobbing
lines, but collections lor May In all lines
of trade are reported to have been highly
satisfactory.
Some Juboers report that business Is seri
ously retarded by the time taken in gelling
shipment, of .lock from eastern manu
facturers. The car shortage has been re
lieved to a great extent, but movements
of freight continue to be very slow west
of Chicago and storks of local house. In
some grades of merchandise have become
somewhat depleted. Better conditions in
this respect are anticipated, however, as
the railroads evince a desire to co-operato

as Is practicable.
The damp weather experienced during the
last week has had a bad efteet on the
sales of dry goods by local Jobbers for
current use. The advance business for

bers report a large Increase In the sales
of goods for forward shipment over that

strength and a further advance In bleached
goods, brown cottons and denims has been
made during the week under review. No
advanco has been made In Jobbing prices

are anticipated every day. American B

month has been the lightest experienced
neporcs or wnoiesaie shoe Jobbers are to

tions are anticipated with the coming of
warmer weather. The decrease In sales
during May la attributed almost solely to
the extremely cold weather prevailing dur
ing the greater part of the month, a. re
taller, have been unable to dispose of
stock, bought some weeks ago to care for
the usual Heavy spring trade. There has
been practically no spring demand for goods
usually sold during that period and the
sales of summer goods will, therefore, be
extremely congested. Notwithstanding the
light sale, had during the last month col
lections have been very satisfactory, which
Indicates that light business has had no ef
fect on the financial situation with regard
to the resources of merchants.
Price, of manufacturer, of shoes have
not changed materially during the last
week. There have been slight recessions In
prices for some lighter good, and fancy
stock, but the general tendency of prices
Is higher. An Interesting feature of the
.hoe trade thl. spring has been the small
demand for brogans and cheaper grades of
footwear. This class of goods has, In for
mer years, had a heavy sale, but tho de
mand has now decreased greatly, which la

territory covered by them has created a
large demand for cultivator, of the disc
variety, which are needed to till the
moistened ground and to cut down a rapid
growth of weeds. The buggy business ha.
continued large, notwithstanding the un
favorable weather for the use of these
vehicles, but the demand for wagons ha.
been very light, dealers being disposed to
wait until such behlclel. are needed more.
The heavy rains have helped crop condi

ha. been materially assisted. For the
month of May trade In implements haa
been quite satisfactory, but not a. large
as that of the corresponding month of
1906. Tho business of the first part of tin

business from better crop prospects.

AT THE PHILOSOPHERS' CLUB
Dlsqnlrtlna- Experience of an Amer

Huh,

1 waa visiting at my old home In Munich,
Bavaria," said Henry Meyer, the artist, re.
cently, "when my father, one evening pro
posed to take me with him to the Phil
osophers club. If I would like to go. I
had heard a great deal about this club, and
Jumped at the chance to visit It, knowing
that I should meet there some of the most
famous thinkers of all Germany.
"A. we beared the club my father cau
tioned me not to talk too much, since It
might be objectionable to some of the em
inent thinkers.
"In the one large room which constituted
the club's quarter we found a .cor or
more of learnec? looking men, sitting si
lently puffing their long-stemmed pipe..
Por fifteen or twenty minutes not a sound
was heard louder than the'slisllng of to
bacco In the pipes. Then one of the men
who seemed to be In the most profound
state of meditation, removed his pipe from
between hi. Hps, nodded his head In a re
flective way, and said:
" 'Yah.'
"He seemed to have aolred the deep prob
lem on which he had been thinking, and I
expected him to launch upon the tide of
time some grand, eternal truth fresh from
th dry dock of his mind. But he only re
turned his pipe to hi mouth and subsided
Into that dens silence from which he had
merged only for th moment.
"Half an hour passed before another
word was spoken. Then a great philosopher
at the other side of the room removed his
pip from hla Up, nodded his massive bead
m that same tone of abstrao-
tlnn, said:
" 'Yah.'
"He, too, I presumed, had solved soma
great problem, and I listened for an expo
sition of It. but he merely placed his pipe
bark between his teeth and nettled clown
gain to thst silence which was almost
dlnful.
"It was nearly an hour before anybody
spoke again. This time It was a hoary
headed old philosopher who took his ptpa
from hi. mouth, wagged his head and re
marked, as had his predecessors:
" 'Yah.'
"The next day my father delighted me by
telling me that I had been admitted as a
member of the Philosophers' club and wna
free to attend Its meetings. So I was pres
ent at the next one. a few evenings later.
"With my plpo In my mouth, I observed
tho silence that seemed to be to popular

thinkers had, In as many half hours, re

me to prove that I was a worthy memlnT
