THE GIANT O? TH3 ARMY. Che Tallest Policeman in America- Curious Episodes of H a History. IVom the New York World. Reading, Pa., April 2‘J.—3lah!on Shaa fcer, of Heading, Pa., stands (i feet S inches high. He excites wonder wherever he casts his prodigious shadow. His life is full of romance and the most ludicrous incidents, all brought about through the startling sur prises of his towering presence. Ho is a highly honored citizen, a machinist by trade, but in the recently inaugurated administra tion of Mayor Kenney has been appointed to the position of Chief of Police. He is a unique character in flint place—the tallest policeman in America. He is a married man and has children. His wife measures 5 feet 4 inches and looks strikingly diminutive by his side. His domestic arrangements, the architectural features of his house, the dimensions of his varied furniture, are ali of special measure ment and suited to his size. He sleeps in a bed made to order over 7 feet in the clear. The dining table is of a special design and so are his chairs. An exception to the com mon rule of arrangements must always be made in his behalf. The war history of this man is unique and interesting. Asa soldier prodigy he excited the curiosity of the President even, and ho was singled out by the generals and soldiers for special favors and orders. He was but a mere stripling when he enlisted, but Capt. John E. Arthur, company B, Ninety-third Pennsylvania regiment, gives him the highest testimonials as a patriotic soldier. He served his term for three years and re enlisted for three months in the militia, and for the third time in the One Hundred and Ninety-sixth Pennsylvania regiment, as First ’Lieutenant. lie got three discharges and commissions. He was wounded in the battle of Fair Oaks on May 81, 1862, by a sharp-shooter in the right leg, below the knee. His wound is in an ulcered con dition since then, covering a sore spot as large as a hand, for which painful insignia of patriotic service he gets but §l6 a month pension. While in the service he was rarely lucky enough to secure a tent sufficiently large. To sleep within the compass of his shelterlie was obliged to double up, or curve his lower •xtremities around the ojien space of the stove. At Camp Mary the soldiers drew their first “sky-blue pantaloons,” and that opened another predicament. The Colonel, McCarter, sent nis card to the tall soldier with his compliments, requesting him to equip himself and make his appearance on the parade grounds for inspection. It was a bitter cola day, and the icy bottom made walking dangerous. Our soldier donned his regimentals, obeyed his orders and appeared at the designated hour. But he was a spectacle to behold! The largest size of trousers was No. 45, and in the legs were six inches too short. He stood in No. 11 shoes, with a bare space of skin between the pants and the shoes. The coat was decidedly astray; the buttons on the waist showed off from the middle of the back, the sleeves touched the elbows, and in this sorry plight he marched out to a prearranged programme. The boys broke ranks, and hoot ed and shouted in the wildest paroxysm of iport and hustled the tortured soldier as if ut a game of football. The emergency was sought to be met by directing this breathing anomaly of nature to the Clothing Depart ment at Washington. With pass in hand, Sergt. Fritz and Shaaber confronted the Quartermaster General. The latter smiled uid dubiously shook his head as he scanned ihose legs and arms. They Ijeat about the leaps or clothing in every aisle. The Quarter niasterThen halted in a meditative attitude, and suddenly exclaimed in joyous relief, “I have it!" Ho hauled out two of the largest rizes of pantaloons and said: “There, splice them and make you a pair!” Ho marched out wfth two pair of pantaloons under one arm and two pairs of blankets under the other. On their return to camp, Shaaber, with an inventive instinct, espied a beauti ful pair of leggings in a show-window, which he purchased as a better alternative for short trousers. The hint was at once taken by the company, and out of deference to their giant comrade they adopted the high gaiter for all future purposes. It was a most servieeble accession of soldier outfit. Perhaps the most significant incident in his life, Drought about solely through his stature, was the impromptu meeting with Abraham Lincoln. After Christmas camp was changed from Camp Mary to Camp Tenallytown. It was while passsing in re view on Penn avenue that the Captain dire''ted JShaalier’s attention to a gentleman on the sidewalk calling out after him, “Bub! Buh!” With permission he stepped over to corner of E and Penn avenue, where a small group of citizens awaited him. The inter view is best told in his own words: “I no more than got there when a tall, gmmt-look ing nian grasped me by the hand in a most friendly maimer, saying, ‘Excuse my rude ness! 1 The stranger pleased me at once though I did not recognize the homely face. Ho was dressed in a black frock coat, cling ing somewhat indifferently to stoojied shoulders, a black lint and had a pale look ing countenance, thoughtful and serious in its caste, but suddenly looming up into pleasant outlines when addressing me. The citizens by his side were more elegantly at tired, and I recognized among them Curtin and Cameron. The snow was all the while driving into our faces, blowing intensely cold—mud and slush running over shoetops. Ho next, asked me my size, and added, ‘lt was jealousy on my part that made me call you out to size up.” I told him that I was 6 feet 8 inches high, just passed my sixteenth year, ami weighed 140 pounds. He forthwith drew out of his pocket u black-covered memorandum and with an ordinary stub pencil noted my answer down. He then in ■‘oduce'i himself in the characteristic way, I am Old Abe!’ I was startled, but felt honored. He next introduced me to his company and to Vice President Hamlin as My son!’ After quite a prolonged conver he volunteered good advice to me. He indicated what my habits should be, my diet in camp, that I must eat no pastry and emphasized the precaution against the ua° of intoxicating drinks. He told me that when lying down to sleep I should always rest the head lower than the chest, to expand my lungs, anil seriously added, ‘I am afraid you will not. stand the service.’ “I essayed to leave, but just then thinking of the orders about stragglers, 1 asked him to give ine a pass, else the patrolmen might gather mo into the guardhouse. lie at once reproduced his memorandum-book, tore out a blank, and iu a gust of storm wrote these words: Pass the HoMler on his way with his regiment to camp, by request of Abk Lincoln. “My knapsack was captured in battle and this memento lost. When that grand old man bade me good-by, he embraced me, virtually put his right arm around my neck, and said with kindly emotion: ‘Good-by, my son! God bless you! Come soon and dine with me. ” It was about New Year’s that Maj. Fritz and Comrade Shaalicr sauntered into town with the express purpose of calling oil the "resident and dining with him. A colored l'ge ushered thorn into the Blue Room, when the President rose from n chair where he was engaged in writing. Ho at once re called their meeting ami gave the kindliest welcome to the White House. Ho showed them through the spacious house and pro aented them here ami there to the invited guests of the day. A timid bov, amid so much reflnementof cotnjwuiy, he lost courage and gave up the idea of dining with the President. Mr. Lincoln insisted, and said: I wifi give you u seat on mv right as my particular guest.” But the bashful soldier confessed that ho was afraid and ashamed to sit with such elegantly dressed company m his shabby clothes. It was then that one ?; fufse characteristic revelations of the | resident’s noble heart was mode when ho Uiswered young .Shaaber: “It’s not the fiotning that ninkns the man, my son; it’s i mart. I think more of a man dressed m blue for love of country than of the*' gay visitor*, whose chief business in these trying tunes is simply to dress for receptions." Ho. however, went, remarking that he would ,PJ°y nis lienii soup mid liiml tack 1 letter than the reception dinner. The President uxik both bauds Into lua uud gave him u parting blessing. He dismissed him by say ing: “If vou lie around Washington m the future Cc 11 again.” It was always the great r *gret of Hhaaber in after lit" taar i. aid not dine with the President, for many con ceded that the good-hearted Exteutiv ha! a more comfortable place in thougnt for the young soldier. _ A lieutenant of Col. Ricker's Sixty-second New York regiment once lioasbed of being the tallest man of the brigade. Frequent challenges had lieen interchanged until Shaaber one day determined the case should be settled. He called upon him, found him to lie a large, well-built man, drawing the scales to 200 poimds and measuring 6 feet 4 inches or 4 inches less than our soldier. He was discomfited and disrobed of his l>oasted laurels. While on a visit to Philadelphia some years since an Englishman came excitedly to his side and asked him in a hurried man ner his age, height, occupation, home, etc. He was a man of eminent influence in the courts of England. He at once proffered him the highest position on the Queen’s Life Guard, asked him to give his consent and he would pay his passage over. He assured him of a lieutenancy in six months. He said they were anxious for tail men, the tallest now on the Guard being (i feet 6 inches. He urged and declared that because of his size he should at once be selected for the com mand of the Guard. On the night of July 3, 1876—0n that memorable occasion when that tremendous mass of people crowded Independence square to await the tolling of the old bell at 12 o’clock at night—our aspiring' patriot stood among them for the same first call of the dawning Fourth of July. He towered head and shoulder above that soa of people and scanned the dimensions of the gathering with an envious repose of elevation. “Young man, you were sensible to have provided yourself with a box to stand on,” some what enviously remarked au old man by his side. “I stand on my feet, just as you do,” retorted Shaaber. The sceptic felt down the side to the feet, and bending up again erect, he exclaimed, “Good heavens, what a man!” The press next day expatiated with a column of pleasantries on the tall man. A NEW THING ON WHEELS. A Machine Which Is a Cross Between a Bicycle and a Street Car. From the Washington Post. The velocipede has become a hack. Mat thew A. Cherry, an ingenious and enterpris ing, and withal muscular young negro, who lives in a suburban residence on Seventh street above Boundary, has given anew form to the velocipede and found anew field of employment for it. He was some, thing of a carpenter and a little of a black smith, and for a long time the idea had been revolving in his brain. He longed to be a common carrier and to draw liis motive power from his own muscles. His idea was to produce such a modification of the veloci pede as would be suitable for a regular pas senger business over the smooth asphalt pavements of Washington. The bicycle did not suit. He could not find room for pas sengers on a bicycle, and he wanted a ma chine with seating capacity for four “fares.” The tricyle did not suit either. It was good enough for a young man and his best girl, or for two young girls, or for an able bodied attendant, or for a store messenger who had only to carry baskets of groceries to customei-s’ houses, “but it did not answer the purpose of a common carrier whose ob ject in life was a vehicle which he would propel himself and which would seat four citizens besides himself. THE MACHINE EVOLVED. Four wheels were found necessary, and having made this discovery Cherry set to work upon his plans. Of' course he could only steal an hour now and tlieu from his reg ular occupation to devote to the working out of his new invention, and the length of time which elapsed between the first experi ment and the launching of the new vehicle upon the sea of#passenger traffic was con siderable. And when you look at the ma chine you do not w onder. It is about half as long as an ordinary street railroad car, but in frame it is lighter than any sulky. The best way to descrilie the vehicle within a limited space would probably be to say that it resembles a car with nothing left of it but four wheels and the platform at each end. The passengers sit on the platforms and the loconr hive, located somewhere about where the middle of the car used to be, sits up aloft on a saddle, plunging awav at two levers which turn the hind wheels. The steer ing gear, worked by hand, is attached to the wLeeUin front. ON THE STREETS AT NIGHT. This new- hack hardly ever ventures abroad until the darkness of night has come to lend its mysterious interest to ali un familiar forms'. In its headlong career along streets a'imly lighted by a few distant gas lamps, and late at night when the common throng has deserted the streets and avenues, the lone wanderer has often been frighttxied almost out of his wits by the sudden appear ance and the sudden and strange disappear ance of this remarkable and wonderful thing, which is seen only iu the night. Talk about speed! When that thing gets fairly under way it seems to get entirely beyond its own author’s control. Street cars, hansoms, bug gies—they don’t belong to the same class. They are all too slow to bo thought of in connection with this machine, especially going down hill. Even fast bicyclists mounted on the finest and most improved roadsters, fall behind when Cherry’s ma chine comes along. And the rattling and the slinking! A ride on this now hack is as lively as it is rapid. No railroad accident ever gave a man such a shaking up as he gets on tnis machine. WHAT THE INVENTOR SAYS. “On a level,” said Cherry to a reporter, who was riding about town on “the latest,” “I never have any difficulty in carrying four passengers just as fast as they care to ¥o, and 1 can take three up the hfll at the 'reasury building on Fifteenth street quite easily.”' But Cherry is thinking about mak ing his passengers walk up hill. His busi ness is prospering si > that he can dictate terms now. Yet he rarely charges more than 25c. a head for the longest drive. Cherry is afraid that some other follow will build an other machine on the same principle and spoil the btisinhtis, but in the meantime he has the good grace to enjoy his prosperous monopoly with the moderation of a man who is too really great to become intoxicat ed with his owii success. Cherry said last night that already he had received applica tion* from not less than a dozen combina tions of young gentlemen want ing to hire the new machine to carry them up and down Pennsylvania avenue for a whole afternoon when the pri vate caiTiages of fashion are out. But he does not approve of the idea. He thinks it would interfere with his regular business, and he find* that lie has enough to do in propelling four passengers all over town during six or seven hours after sun down. “Rough on Piles.” Why suffer piles!
