LITTLE BUT BRAVE
A'oula Example of Conrauc In the Ael
of a Frenchman In tlia
I'nlon Army.
. When the first call wns mnilc for vol
unteers in 1801 there was a littln man
named Gabriel Setter engaged in busi
ness at Cromwell, Ky. lie closed up his
hop and entered the union army as a
captain in the Twenty-sixth Kentucky,
where he so distinguished himself us to
attract the attention of the governor,
who commissioned him colonel and au
thorized him to recruit a regiment to
lie called the Thirty-eighth Kentucky
mounted Infantry, lie first established
-his camp at Hartford, but soon after
wards removed to Owensboro, Ky.,
where the writer joined the command.
That he was as brave us "Marshal
Ney" himself went without saying, and
the general opinion was that lie was as
reckless too. 1 soon became convinced,
liowever, that that was a mistaken no
tion. From personal experience and ob
servation 1 formed for myself the opin
ion that both his acts and words proved
thnt hit was possessed of good judg
ment and sound discretion, as well as
'Unquestioned coinage. Setter was at
this time about 20 years of age, rather
Jjelow the medium size, but well formed,
with fair complexion, of neat nppear
tiice, faultless in apparel, and as polite
s the proverbial "French dancing mas
ter." Hail his life been spared he would
Jiave achieved honor and distinction for
himself, and glory for his adopted coun
try.
Though he was a strict disciplinarian,
and wanted his men to look and act as
rfoltlicrs, he treated them with great
kindness, and was ever solicitous both
ior their welfare and their comfort.
In his disposition, gentleness and firm
4iess were mingled together in about
tipinl proportions.
Our camp was at theoid fairgrounds.
but a short distance from the western
luburbs of the town. At this time we
had about SOU names on tlx' rolls of all
iht different embryo companies; but
is the chief business in hand was that
of recruiting, both officers and privates
were allowed to go wherever there was
I chance to bring in another recruit,

Acre in camp at any one time.
This was the condition of affairs at
Hie camp when at an early hour on the
.Homing of September 111, 1 Slia, while
t dense fog covered the earth, we re
eeived information that confederate
cavalry, numbering about MID men, had
mle a forced inarch by traveling all
night, anil now occupied the town.
Our morning meal was indefinitely
postponed, and we at once began to
make hasty preparations for our first
Jght. While our colonel was busily en
jageel in getting his men into proper
position he received further inforiiia
iion that a portion of the enemy was
concealed In the woods west of our pa-
lition, ready to pounce upon the camp
und take possession as soon as he
should leave it to attack the force In
town, as they confidently expected him
to do.
So he decided to reconnoiter in that
direction first. He started with his en
tire command, except our company.

. squad handling n six-pound brass gun,
which he left there to watch the ene
my in town and protect the camp.
l!y this time the fog had cleared
away. Moving a short distance down
the Innc leading from the fairgrounds
to the river, he halted his men and re
turned to give our captain his linn I in
striictions. While thus engaged his at
tention was called '.aim officer coming
from the direction of the town bearing

our pickets, lie motioned to him to

to meet li i in.
After ii short conversation lietwcen
them he returned to us accompanied by
the ollicer. and addressed us as follows:
"Hoys, this ollicer comes with a Hag
of truce from I.leut.-Cnl. Martin, who,
with Hi K 'guerrillas,' has possession of
the town, and demands of mean uncon-
ditiooal surrender of my command and
all the government property in my pos
session, I want you to hear my an
sw-'ir."
Then turning to the officer, and with
s wave of the hand pointing toward the
,1'roiind he said: ".Never, till the last
mat of us is laid low In the dust."
Then facing toward us he inquired
"liovs, does my answer suit you?"
We were raw recruits and this was
ir first tnste of war mid our first
sight of nn urnifd foe, but such was the
confidence Inspired In us by the hemic
conduct of our gallant little cimiinnnd
er that we were ready to follow any
where thnt he would lend: so there was
but one thing tojo nnd that wns to re
spond with three hearty cheers.
Though nearly 37 years have passed,
this impressive scene has nccr laded
from my memory. It rcmuins there ns
fresh as though the occurrence were
but yesterday. The confident, fearless
manner if our colonel, the firm viat
with which he addressed tlie officer.

the truce officer hlnviclf seemed to
be very much affected by the steiie, and
wasevidently very favorably lit pressed,
as he replied:
'Colonel, I have the greatest respect
for you and your brave men." And with
a parting salute he turned his horse and
rode back to the town to deliver his
message.
The colonel, after completing his In
structions to our captain, rejoined lus
command in the lune, moved down to
the river, thence down the river rond a
short distance, over the fence into a
cornfield, where be met the enemy, and
in the skirmish which ensued he was
instantly killed, and in less than an
hour from the time the above described
scene was enacted his lifeless body was
brought back to camp on a stretcher.
His remains were taken in charge by
his brother-in-law and interred at
Kvansville, Ind. Twenty years irfter-
ward, on Memorial day. May 31), 1SS2, a
few of us were permitted to assemble
around his grave In Oak II ill cemetery,

to place upon the mound above his last

One night a number of officers hap

An Incident in the Career of the
First Popular Dewey.
Be Sawed President Jackson's Cra
slum from the i'lirnreheaii of
the Glorious Frig-ate Con
stltntlon.
Special Washington Letter
Everybody knows that Admiral
Ticorge Dewey is coming home; bin
u-ry few people know that Capt. Sam
uel W. lJewcy has gone to his
long home. Admiral George Dewey is
coming to his own country to be re
ceived by the plaudits of upwards of
70,00U,00l)of patriotic people. Capt. Sum
uel W. Dewey has gone beyond the pule
of life, to that land where all distinc
tions are leveled, and the shepherd's
crook is laid beside the scepter.
You probably never heard of Capt.
Dewey before, although you have read
many columns about Admiral Dewey.
They were second cousins. Capt. Dewey
was years of nge, when he recently
died in I'liiludclphia. lie wasas strong
and robust as any average man of .11),
ond he was well known in the national
cipital nnd all along the Atlantic coust.
Indeed there wus a time when his name
was in all of the newspapers. It is an
Interesting story.
The old frigate Constitution wns
revered by our people. 1'olitical condi
tions were such that many people re
sented every deed done which would
change any part of the old sen fighter,
lint during her remodeling the figure
head of Andrew Jackson was placed
upon her bow. What a storm of po
litical indignation arose over that little
circunistunce! There is where Capt.
Samuel W. Dewey comes into tlie
story.
JS.'10. Thnt is n long way buck in the
past, isn't it? lint to understand the
story of Capt. Dewey we must go back
to that almost 70 yeurs ago, for then it
was that Capt. Dewey was in his prime
physically, as well as mentally. He was
the embodiment of virility in every
thought und action.
He is the man w ho cut the figurehead
of Andrew Jackson from the prow of
the frigate Constitution, and that deed
made him famous with the whigs and
notorious with the federalists; so that
politicians, big und little, of both par
tics throughout the country discussed
Capt. Dewey; and his name was uttered
on every stump in the following cam
paigns. it was a deed which on one hand set
the whigs wild with delight and made
the federalists, who just at this time
wercbcginningtocalltheii'selves by the
new and popAlar title of JetTersonian
democrats, equally wild with anger.
Nothing at the time demonstrated more
clearly the popularity of Jackson, and
for this reason the affair, not known
to this generation, and a matter of his
tory even to the generation before, has
t peculiar interest.
To understand the story completely
it is necessary to go back nt least to
the year is:i(). Then a report appeared
in the Huston Advertiser that the na
val authorities had decided to destroy
the Constitution, together with a num
ber of other old ships of the war of
IS12. Their planks had become rotten
and the ships were dangerous fo their
crews. Little did the nuval authorities,
however, appreciate the sentimental
glamour which hung around the Con
stitution; and when, two days nfter'the
announcement, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
then 21 years old, flung the poem of
Old . ronsides to the world, nnd with
the stirring lines beginning: "Aye, tear
ber tattered ensign down," struck the
CAPT. SAMUEL W. DEWEY.
popular chord full and strong, the ship,
ns It uftcrward appeared, was saved.
No one could help thrilling with indig
nation nt those lines:
"The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea!"
nnd the navy department acquiesced
to the popular demand. It was some
time lifter this that it was found that
,in order to keep afloat the Constitu
tion ut ull the ship would have to be re
built. Accordingly she was docked at
Charlcstown, in the first dry dock
erected in the country, und rebuilt on
her own lines. Only the keel und keel
sou of the old ship remained.
The commandant of the navy yard
was then Commodore Elliot, nnd nrdent
federalist nnd a great admirer of Jack
son. In the rebuilding, therefore, the
former figurehead of tlie Constitution,
one of un allegorical character, wus re
placed by one modeled in likeness to
I'resident Jackson. This was done in
spite of n vehement protest by Commo
dore Hull, who hnd charge of the un
docking, but who was powerless before
the approval of the change by Mahlon
Dickinson, secretary of the navy, und
ns good a federalist, if not a better,
than Elliot.
As soon, however, as the public knew
of the change, which was as soon us the
new Constitution was launched in 18.14,
there was almost us loud a protest as
that In lSlin upon the report of the In
tended destruction of the old ship.
Feeling ran especially high in New Eng
land nnd was increased in force by the
eontciuptiioiisuction of CommodoreEl
liot In anchoring the Constitution in
Charlcstown harbor, with the nose of
the ship facing west and not 25 feet
from the Charlcstown bridge.
However gallant and brave an officer
Elliot was und his gallantry and
bravery have never been successfully
questioned he wus no diplomat.
livrryone In lloston knew that the uni
versal position of anchored ships was
pointing northeast, on account of the
northeast winds. The Columbus and
the Independence, two other warships,
sncliurcd lu the harbor in the custom
ary way, bore mute testimony to this
well-known fact, and higher and high
er ran the feeling of the Middlesex
county men against the daily insult to
their political faith. It was, too, a dan
gerous time to trifle with men's be
liefs, for the romantic revival was still
at high tide and ideals were the main
spring of action. ,
It wus under these circumstances
that Cupt. Dewey, then a hardy young
sailor of 28 years, determined to avenge
the fancied insult. Consulting but one
other, who took no part in the deed it
self, Capt. Dewey chose one stormy
night, when the rain beat In torrents
and the lightning and thunder were
continuous, to stenl out with a smull
saw in one of the boats belonging to
Hilly hite, who then kept u num
ber of skiffs and sailboats near the
Charlestown bridge. Muffling his ours
with pieces of old shirts, he rowed
quietly out into the shadow thrown by
the biaek hulk of the Constitution.
Gliding up to the side of the vessel, he
stopped near the war ropes amidships,
and, securing his boat, nimbly climbed
up on the ships deck. There wns no
sentinel outside, the rain had driven
him to shelter, and Capt. Dewev safely
reached the "shelter boards," which
had been placed under the sprit the
day before. There was still danger in
the execution of the plan, for the Co
lumbus ships light and that on the
SAWING OFF THE FIGUREHEAD.
Independence were thrown on the fig
urehead as a precaution against any
such attempt.
Lying down, liowever. on his back,
hidden by the shelter boards, Capt.
Dewey could still, by reaching out and
up with one hand, reach the neck of the
figure with his saw. In this crumped
position he worked three hours on the
sticky southern pine, and finally got
the head oft", not the entire head, for a
huge collar of the old fashion reached
well up on the back of the Jackson
head, and the portion sawed off was on
a plane with the mouth and ears. Thin
was, however, enough for the intended
purpose. Then, after surmounting the
difficulties of the return, such as find
ing his bout nearly full of water and the
tide so low that he had to wade quite n
way through mud to the shore, the
adventuresome sailor reached land in
safety.
One enn now but faintly imagine the
tremendous cry which went up on the
discovery of the disfigurement. Whigs
howled with delight. Middlesex was
wild with joy, but from the navy de
partment in Washington came a storm
of vindictive protest. Try as the au
thorities would, however, no truce wns
found of the man who did the deed,
Excitement had not yet subsided when
Capt. Dewey decided for some reason
that it would be a good thing to present
the head to Jackson himself, and, ac
cordingly, set off for Washington with
it. in I'hiltiilelphin he met Wiley I'.
Mangiim and John Tyler, w ho hud been
appointed by the president to investi
gate the affairs of the I'nited States
bank. He knew them both, nnd the
story was too good to keep; so he told
them. Continuing then to Washington,
he urrived there in February, nnd for
two months tried to see the president.
I'resident Jackson wns seriously ill
with hemorrhages of the lungs, and
could not see Dewey. Vice I'resident
Vun Hiiren had known Dewey's father,
who was an artillery captain, and he
received the sailor cordially. To him
Dewey told th" story, and Van Huren
enjoyed the joke of it most cordially.
He advised Dewey to take the figure
head of Jackson nnd give it to the sec
retary of the navy. On this advice
Dewey acted, but Sccretury Dickinson
did not regard the matter ns a joke.
On the contrary he wus nngry and
threatened to have Dewey arrested.
Hut Dewey quietly said:
"You can have uie arrested on no
charge save that of trespass, and I
should lie tried III Middlesex county,
where the offense was committed. Any
Middlesex jury would give me damages,
mid applause, too."
That settled it. Dewey was not nr
rested. The figurehead was accepted
and remained in the Dickinson family.
It is now in llrnoklyn. Cupt. Dewey be
came known throughout the entire
country us "the figurehead mnn." He
was banqueted by whigs in lialtimore,
Philadelphia, New York, lloston and
wherever he went. And now he has
gone beyond the vale. He was the first
populur Dewey in America.

sidered most beuntiful for the locks.
Thomas Holmes, the originator of the
club, says tlait for a long time the red
haired people of Trenton have lacked
cohesion. They tacitly udmitted that
the color of their hair wus a misfortune,
nnd they lived out their lives more or
less in solitude, worrying about the
matter.
lint Mr. Holmes suys the time has
come when they mean to hold up their
heads, red hair and all, proudly in the
community.
They will begin, they declare, with a
red-haired beauty show, at which the
prettiest members of the club will be
placed on view, to prove to the com
munity the artistic qualities of their
locks.
At the first meeting of the club a
joint debate will take place on "The

THE USEFUL BICYCLE.
It Una Taken n Distinctive and Per
manent llnee In tlie Noclnl
Economy.
There is a quite general belief In this
country that bicycling is diminishing
rather than increasing, but it is doubt
ful if the number of bicycles in actual
use is not larger to-day than ever be
fore. There has been a shifting in the
classes of people who use them. Many
tvho took up the exercise as a "fad," or
because of its novelty, huve abandoned
it for golf or other sport; but at the
Mime time a new and larger class of
riders, induced mainly by the advent of
the cheap bicycle, has arisen, to more
than make good the deficiency. So it
is the world over, npparently, for nt a
recent international cyclists' congress
in London 13 different nations were rep
resented, nnd their deliberations were
consider.'! of sufficient importance to
entitle them to a lending article in the
London Times, in which many interest
ing statements concerning the popular
ity und social influence of the bicycle
were made among them thnt about
100 members of parliament belong to a
cyclists' club.
In its reflections on the subject tin
Times called attention to the share
which the cyclist is to have in the work
of the world as well ns in its amuse
ments, saying: "The fact that almost
ery one can at small cost travel three
or four times as fast and as far as be
fore is already producing great indus
trial changes, and others must follow,
in town und elsewhere. The country
doctor begins to make his rounds, the
rector his visits, the tux gatherer his
demands, by means of the cycle. The
tradesman takes his orders nnd exe
cutes them by means of the modern
shoes of swiftness. They are now th
mainstay of ninny n country house.
The clerk or workman rea-hes hit
suburban house, except in bad weather,
on wheels. Xot u few things go more
smoothly now that they go on wheels.
We are only ut the beginning of consid
erable economic una' social changes, all
nscribable to the ubiquitous 'safety,'
which has already done more for the
workingnian since its introduction
than legislation nnd philanthropy
combined during the same period. It
is hard to sav where its influence ends.''

NEVER USE CHLOROFORM.
Darglnra Do Not AdmlnUtrr the Drnl
During- Their Predatory
Incursions.
That burglars of the more advanced
type can und do use chloroform in the
commission of their crimes is a bcliel
widely held und rarely contradicted,
und yet there is, curiously, little foun
dation for it. Indeed, those who are
most familiar with the administration
and effects of anaesthetics nsscrt thnt
there is no foundation ut nil for it ex
cept in the imagination of sensational
writers und in the needs of people whose
losses cannot safely lie explained by
statements of fact. The question has
been raised recently by several rob
beries in which chloroform is said to
have been employed, and opinions of
the local experts are strongly aguinst
the possibility of such use. One phy
sician in speaking of the matter said
recently:
"As fur as known, chloroform and
ether have never taken effect on a
healthy sleeping person without that
person knowing it. Both of these
anaesthetics are at first stim
ulating und invigorating in their
cfTcct nnd will arouse a sleep
ing person. The entire system is
excited nnd the heart beats violently
and fust. The use of either chloroform
or ether or any other anaesthetic by
burglars is absurd. It frequently takes
physicians, with their various appli
ances, from ten to fifteen minutes to
put u person under the influence of
cither of these anuestlietics, and often
a patient w ill become so stimulated ami
active before the effect is secured that
it requires several strong men to hold
Mm."
The idea that the were introduction
of chloroform into a room would cause
unconsciousness was derided ns ab
surd. Even if doors nnd windows were
airtight, it would take several gallons
of either anaesthetic so to fill a room
with the heavy fumes as to affect a
sU'cper on a bed of average height,
And the first effect would be not deep
sleep, but excited wakefulness. X. Y,
