Lew Wallace died in Crawfords ville, Ind., last nis-ht at 9:10 o'clock. He had been a sutferer from caucer of tbe stomach for some time. General Wallace was born in Brook ville. Franklin county, Ind., in 1827, and be had been in thethickof political, military and "literary iife since the Mexican war. which he entered before he had attaiued his msjority and from which he emerged a young lieutenant, covered with honor*. Apparently noth ing in hia whole wonder/'til career to which he had aet hia band haa beendone other tban well. Possiblythe least aac cess attained by him was aa a lawyer, whicb career he cmbraced in hia early tnanhoou. After the stirring evetits of the eitil war, from which he emerged a major-pe:i'-ral, he took up for a brief period tbe practice of the legal profes sion. But he did not like the law, and gradually, witb diplomalic work inter sp^rsed, hc undertook the work of a litteratetir, in which be had made his niost diatingiiished stnceaa. As the author ol "Ben-Httr'' Gen? eral Wal'ace is known in practically every country of the globe. Xo other book since the daya of "Pilgrim's Pro gress" has been ao widely read. An estimate iudicates that from the total number of editions ofthebook that have been sold at leaat 4,000,000 persons have read and enjoyed the Hoosier sol dier s beautiful taleof tbe lowly Nazarene. The dramatization of the work, which was completed in 19X11, furtber exteud ed the general knowledge of tbe story and added largely as well to the fame and profit of the author. General Wallace waa "to the manor boru," his father, David Wallace, hay ing been elected (iovernor of ladiana in 1><:',7 and to OoOfraaa in 1842 from the Indianapolis district. In his youthf'ul days General Wallace displayed'a tendency to neglect the op porturiities which hia fatber's position gave him. He hated booka and schools, and remained at school only ao long as it was impossible to avoid. In 'hia mannar he acquired but little real foun dational edticatioti. Previous to tho outbreak of tbe Mexi? can war General Wallace had com inanced tbe atudy ot law. When the call for soldiera cante he waa atnong the first to enliat. He wai not then 20 yeara old, but hia servicea were ao meritorioua that he cun.e back from the war a lieu? tenant. At tbe close of the war he mar ried Susan A. Klatoo, widow of apioneer of Crawlordaville. When Garfield was elected President he aent for Wallace, who was a close pers'iual friend, and during the conver aation oflered to make hins Miniater to Constantinople on the condition that he would write another book during his stay in Turkey. The proffer waa ac cepted by General Wallace. During his TOJIge to Kurope Garfield was as ?asainated, but Wallace couaidered hia promise to write a book as a sacred pleige. "Tbe Prince of India" was tbe retull. As a diplomat General Wallaco was emiaently succesalul. During his ser vice in Turkey he gained tha conli dence of the Saltan to a remarkane degree. The Sultau showered him with prasents. Ooe of the most importaat events in tha career af General W'allac*. was the period immediately following tha closa ot the civil war, when be was aent to Mexico as the secret agent of the ger ernment to aid the Mexicans in their fight agasust the French under Maxt milian. The close of the war had left tho country ia such an uosettled con? dition that it waa not adviaable to riak a war with France over the attempted aggrandi/.enient of Mexican territory by Maximilian, who was backed by I?uis Xapoleon. Withoot the knowledge af Secretary Seward, General Wallace was aent by General Grant to C0?It with General .Jutirez, the Mexican President, to see if some way ceuld aot be ue vised whereby the" luited HUtes could asaiat Mexico. When tieneral Wallace arrived at Chihuahoa he found General Jaurez with few troops and no arms. At tbe saine time every indication pointed to the success of Maximilian. After tha consultation between Geaeral Wallace and General Juarez the Gover ?or ot Tanisulipas waa ordered by Juarer. to accompany General Wa'lace back to the United States, In company with Matias Romero, the Mexican Minister to Washington, $5,000,000 worth ol Winchester rirlrs, cannon and other munitions ot war were bought and paid for with Mexican government bonds. These were qnietly shipped to the mouth of the Rio Grande and paseed on to the Mexican troepa. From tben on the tide turned, and the kfexicans fiaally conquered. During tbeadministrationof President Hayee General Wallace was appointed Territarial Gorernor of New Mex.ca. The Sauthweat at that tina ?b infeated with "bad man.'' and the aevera taak waa impoaed upon General Wallaca of brioging order and an obedience of law out of the chaos of teirorism inta wbich the lax enforcement of the laws had thrown thataection. Aftermnny stormy scenas, in which he wasalmoat constant ly in personal dangar, General Wallace succeeded in eradieating tha "bad men" anderine GREW THIS HAIR AUD WE OAM PROVE IT.
