cooperation accorded them by the
stockholders and depositors and are
confident that if it continues the reor
ganization can be effected with the
greatest benefit to nil concerned.

BARACA-PHILATHEA UNION
HOLDS MEETING TONIGHT
Don't forget the meeting of the
Baraca-Philathea Union tonight at
8:15. The place is the First Baptist
church.
This is a very important session, as
the new officers arc to be installed
and several important matters are to
be disposed of.
The program is excellent. Dr. S. J.
Cartledge is the speaker of the oc
casion and you don't want to miss
what he has to say.
The union is growing all the time,
because it stands for service to tha
different Sunday school interests of
the city. The purpose of the Baraca-
Philathea movement is to utilize the
dormant material that we find in
Sunday school and put it to work
bringing in new members and new
life. The union subserves this pur
pose by keeping the various classas
in touch with one another and stirring
up enthusiasm in class work.
Let everyone that is interested in
the forward movement of the Sunday
school forces come out and enacour-
age us by his presencf and sympathy.

New York, May 4.—General Daniel
E. Sickles died st his horns shortly af
ter 9 o'clock last night. His wife was
with him at his death.
General Daniel Edgar Sickles was
the last of the great commanders who
fought-the battle of Gettysburg. For
a decade he was a fighter by profes
sion-all his life he was a fighter by
nature.
The gruff eld warrior, with one leg
shot away in battle, his massive head
resembling Bismarck's, was a pictur
esque figure as he hobbled along, on
crutches during the last half century
of his turbulent life.
His indomitable fighting spirit re
mained to the last. Barn in New
York City in 1825, Sickles, at t&e age
of 22, fought the Whigs as a den) 1 *'
crat in the New York legislature. At
28, he displayed his fighting spirit as
corporation attorney of New York. It
was he who secured for his city its
great Central Part. At this time his
military career began as major of the
12th regiment, National Guard, New
York.
Before he was 32 year old. Major
Sickles had served as secretary of le
Station at London under Minister
Janies Buchanan; he had won a state
senatorship through a bitter cam
paign; ana he was seated in the Thir
ty-fifth congieis at Washington.
It was at this time that an event
occurred which became the sensation
of the day. Sickles had begun his sec
ond term as congressman in 1869
when the national capital was Stlrreo
by the news that the young represen
tative from New York had shot and
killed Philip Barton Key, the United
States district attorney for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Sickles declared
that Key had misled Mrs. Sickles
who was Therese Bagioli, daughter of
an Italian music teacher. The trial
lasted 20 days, ending In the acquits!
of Sickles on the ground of "unwrit
ten law.” He then took his erring
wife back.
"I am not aware of any statute
or code of morals,” said Sickles to
his critics, “which makes it Infamous
to forgive a woman. I can »
in the almost' Universal denunciation
with which she is followed to my
threshhold, the misery and peril from
which I have rescued the mother of
my daughter. I shall strive to prove
to all that an erring wife and mother
may be forgiven and redeemed.’
Mrs. Sickles died of a broken heart
a few years later.
At the outbreak of the Civil War,
the young fighting politician, then 36
years old, went to Lincoln to offer his
services.
“You hmve been a leader in New
York democratic politics,” said the
president "If you kept your end up
at that game surely you’ll do to take
command of men in the field. Raise
your regiments end you shell be Brig
adier-General in command.”
Sickles raised the famous excelsior
brigade in New York, taking com
mand ef one of its regiments as colo
nel. Lincoln kept his word and in
1861- raised him to brigadier-generaL
His fighting spirit early wen him his
spurs.
On the Peninsula and at Antictam
he distinguished himself as a soldier
and leader. At ChanceHorsville he
led a division. ' At Gettysburg he led
the Third Sorps, lost a leg, and be
came a national hero. At 37 years of
age, he had risen from s colonel to
major-genersl of volunteers.
After the war his fighting spirit led
him in to the regular army, and
he became first, briga'dier and then
major-general. He continued active
service until 1869, when he was ap
pointed minister to Spain by President
Grant.
At the court of Spain, Sickles’ vig
orous personality made him a dsmi
nating figure. Four years of brilliant
diplomacy brought him the epithet of
“The Yankee King ef Spain." Here
he contracted his second marriage,
with the beautiful and distinguished
Senerita Creagh. This romance was
followed -by estrangement which was
to last more than a quarter century.
In addition to this domestic trouble,
came hi* interference in the marriage
plans of his daughter to a penniless
Spanish nobleman. Father and daugh
ter separated in bitterness, the latter
to return to the United Stats* to die
without reconciliation.
Returning alone to New York, Gen
eral Sicklss again entered politics. He
served as sheriff of New York and <1
67 he was re-elected to congress.
General Sickles' life drew to a close
with frequent romantic situations. He
faeed bankruptcy proceedings in his
last yOars, though Ju >«d' w "
life received a large share ol hi
er’s $3,000,000 estate, but his estrang
ed wife and son came to his ald'on
several occasions.
His last days were spent at 23
