SHERIDAN'S LUCKY CHANCE
How "nginttnat i'dii- Happened - to
Be Picked for a Soldier's
Career. " '
Here Is a story vouched for by the late
James W. Breen, which illustrates either
the operations of Providence or chance
upon American history, as the reader
may please to look at it.
In the ,aU fortiM the member of the
"'400 113 in 13 house of representatives from the Lan
- 100 UJ U8 li Cft8ter district of Ohio found himself In
an unpleasant political situation. The
Mexican war had aroused the interest in
West Point of ambitious fathers. The
representative had at his disposal a noml
nation to West Point. And two Influen
tial citizens in his district had taken the
notion at the same time that a West
Point cadetship gave the opening to a
career precisely suited to the talents of
their respective sons.
The two ambitious fathers and Influen
tial cltlsens became very much In earn
est on the subject. Each circulated
around the district, lining up his friends
I to Join him In pressing his claims upon
I th nnMMntatlva . A wofm vtvalw A.
velopcd between them. The situation be'
came politically embarrassing.' The rep-
resentative sought advice on how best to
deal with It from Senator Thomas Ewlng,
a resident of Lancaster. Said Senator
Ewlng
"In your place " I. would not appoint
either of those boys. Each of those men
will be glad that you did not appoint his
rival's son at least. The people generally
woun endorse your action in sending
The representative saw his way out of

U.., -v.-... .u- i ...1-. t.u
i nfujuj, suum iia..v a muii ish-
man named Sheridan. It happened that
Jugt ftt thftt moment Sherldan came in
with wood for the fire. And th senator
- ---- - .
said:
"Well, there's Sheridan; he has some
br, k,nd w
, ,. ... " - -
dan, how would you like to have one of
your boys go to West Point?"
I Sheridan didn't exactly know. He was
willing to leave it to the senator. So the
J question arose, if either of the young
I Sheridans was to be sent, which should
be sent And In answer to that question
the father said
..Tf jfg for books you want, then you
had better aend Mike, but if It's for
I fighting you want, then you had better
.end Phil
With which word of wisdom the elder
Sheridan retired. And as a West Point
cadetship was regarded as leading to
fighting work, the representative did -duly
nominate Philip Henry Sheridan to the
West Point vacancy.
But suppose Instead of taking the ad
vice of a past master -of practical politick
on the best way out of his difficulty the
representative had resorted to the "com
petitive examination" scheme for escap
ing such situations, now popular and Im
ported from China via. England? Would
bis nomineo have become one of the great
captains of the civil war and died In the
highest rank of the United States army?
We don't know. But we do know of a
Kansas representative who took the com
petitive examination road out of a similar
difficulty about twenty years ago.
The youth who won the competitive ex
amination was promoted major last year.
Never mind his name. He's a good offi
cer, with an excellent record ond a credit
to his service.'
But a youth who lot on the competitive
examination test and didn't get the West
Point chance Is now a major general. His
name is Frederick ; inston. Chicago

liOUS All of Uie leading markets re
uorted hog receilile that were only mod
erate and the priced look an upward turn
In consequence. Locally, the trade ruled
tully a nickel higher, but few buyers will
ingly approved ot the advance and the
demand acted oraggy from the start
Droves were put up quietly, and it re
quired most of the morning to make a
clearance.
The yard estimate called for about 8.800
head, and unlike ordinary June quality,
offerings included a very respectable
crop of attractive butcher weights. Ship
pers and speculators selected bbout a
dozen loads early in the session, usually
buying smooth 'grades, weighing 22
pounds and better.
Beat heavy hogs on sale brought $7.35,
as compared with yesterday's top of $7.3ft
while bulk landed within the 87.17.30
spread. Ljght classes had to bo extra
good In order to bring li.

SHEEP Continued weaker receipts of
sheep and lambs gave the trade its usual
Juna appearance, only three or four loads
of stock showing up. They were grassers
from the Oregon range, leaving every
branch of the market excepting that
which held the Oregon wethers practi
cally barren. Other offerings usually sold
in small lots of a dozen head and less.
The wethers changed hands at $4.75, a
pretty good price In comparison with
Chicago values on the same class of
I stock, and most sellers were inclined to
can tne trade a little higher, aithough
no definite advances were quotable. The
small volume of business at present is
entirely seasonable, as tlie coin belt crop
seldom is a factor after May, while tiie
range marketing does not attain much
size until along in July.
Naturally very few feeders are going
back into the country this season and
nothing much can be said by way of
trade description. Three double decks
were purchased for shipment yesterday,
but the majority of finishers are wait
ing for larger supplies and further in
formation, in view of shortage talk in
the western country current prices for
feeders are very reasonable, thin ewes
selling around $2.50 yesterday.

WOMEN RIGHT ON THE JOB
Jary of Twelve In San Francisco
Pass on the Fit of Man's
Clothes.
"Twelve good women and true" de
cided in jury assembled that tailor suits
that do not fit need not be paid for In
full.
Consequently F. W. von Schrader, jr.,
will not have to pay the balance of $69
for which he was sued In Justice of the
Peace Barnett's court by Harry S. Rip
ley. For the first time in San Francisco
a properly qualified, , technically correct,
duly sworn jury of women on the same
basis as their brother electors was ob
tained to try a case. This was at the re
quest of the defendant.
There was no frivolity in the minds or
conduct of these pioneer jurywomen.
Testimony was heard and weighed with
closest attention, the clothes submitted
and tried on in evidence were eyed with
the keen Insight which every normal
woman possesses' in such matters and
the hour and a quarter required to find a
verdict was devoted to heated argument.
It was a day In which there was much
technical information as to the set of
collars, various fashions of coats, details
as to "busheling," qualifications neces
sary for experts and their testimony,
when is-a fit not a fit, how many altera
tions accompany every suit, relative
prices of clothes up and down town, and
like a will-e-'-the-wisp, floating in and
out Just what is "exclusive pattern." AIfo
there was a vast amount of objecting on
the part of the attorneys for both sides,
much argument as to financial and other
details, some jocosities, the interjection
of more or less uncomplimentary person
alities, during all of which the women
sat silently, and at times gravely bored
when the main Issue seemed befogged.
It was entirely on the merits of the
fi that the Jurors decided the case.
"I didn't pay much attention to what
was said," declared one juror. "I Just
looked at the suit when the young man
put it on and I saw It -didn't fit him
and what's more, It never dld."
"If a person pays $60 for a suit," suld
another, "It ought to be a good suit,
even if he'd worn it fcteady for aj
year and a half which he said he hadn't.

If you cant get a sun m v---,
what good does It do you?"
There was sympathy galdre for the ner-,
son who doesn't get his tailor suits prup
erly fitted. ' ' .
There was little difficulty in drawing
the jury in the morning, as the . jurors
were "pased with perfunctory questions
only, but Mrs. Adelia Leighton and Mtsa
Grace Eggers, daughter of Sheriff Es
gers, were dismissed on a peremptory
challenge from the defendant. Later,
when it was found that all the other
women subpoenaed had gone home and
a new venire would have to be drawn
the objection was withdrawn and Mrs.
Leighton and Miss Eggers returned smil
ingly to their duty. That they Doie n
malice was proved by the fact that they
were two of the most enthusiastic ad
herents of the defendant's interests. .
Mrs. Leighton was chosen forewoman,
although later one juror referred to her
as "our president," and joined heartily in
the laugh which followed.
Pretty little Miss Berendes, who had
trouble making people believe she was
of age, was hatless when the jury ap
peared to give its verdict, and she later
said that her smart little close fitting
bonnet of gold braid, tiny pink rosebuds
ana fluffy wings of pink tulle had been
removed, not in the heat of battle, but
f,,r . ballot box ana she had collcctei
tho votes of the Jurors.-San Francisco

ACTIVITIES OFJICH CHURCH
Gross Wealth, Productive Property,
Income and Charities of Trin
ity, Aew York.
The title of the richest church in Cbrls-
'tendom is interesting, but the manage
ment of the, inheritance is more interest
ing. Hence the last report of Trinity
church. New York, is of public impor
tance. Besides the central church are
nine chapels for services, while the places
of its work might be said to be legion.
Its list of benefactions reads like a char
ity directory and includes names so welt
known as St. Luke s hospital, besides
many names not known outside the Im
mediate neighborhood. The church's pro
ductive real estate was assessed last
year by the city at $14,706,100. There was
exempted from taxation Trinity church
and burial ground and St. Paul's chapel,
which stand as worth $20,000,000. The pro
ductive estate yielded, last year $834,944.
There was besides an income of $40,000
additional, of which $16,763 came from pew
rents. The people gave $103,000 more, so
the total Income was almost $1,000,000.
Besides this the church got $1,067,000 from
sales of real estate and from borrowed
money, which is being put back Into pro
ductive property. Trinity parish has 8.610
members, 3,600 in Sunday schools and 3,500
churches and schools took $o54,845 of the
million. Missions, maintenance of ceme
ln day schools. The administration of
teries and similar things took $150,000.
The other $500,000 went to maintain and
improve properties from which the in-,
come is derived, taxes took $169,000, inter
est called for $92,350, repairs and improve
ments for $225,000. For various purposes
$113,000 was spent, among them being the
item of funerals, and medicine cost nearly
$5,000. Model tenements have been built.
Properties are progressively Improved,
and the rents have remained the same
practically for twenty years. Last year
the parish attempted two repforms that
have made good progress. One was the
opening of houses for the poor on cold
nights. The other was a systematic plan
for encouraging the use of the pennies
of the poorest, so that the idea that the.
church is not merely of the well-to-do
might be fostered and the sense of co
operation be strengthened. Indianapolis
