Chief of Record and Pension Bureau of War Department Tells of Work To Preserve Names of Men Who Bought for South. By Jos: Ohl. Washington, November I I .—(Special.)— j Brigadier General C. I l '. Ainsworth, chief . of the record and pension bureau of the war department, devotes a considerable , portion of Ills annual report to a discus sion of the work of securing rosters of ■ conf< derate niilit.n y organizations for use In the compilation authorized by act of congress. Hu traces the history of this ! movement to secure for the government a complete record of ail Hie troops who took part in the civil war, snows the work that has been done in his depart ment. refers to the fact that the union , records are practically complete and , enumerates some of the obstacles tending I to prevent such completeness with regard . to the men who fought on the side ol , the south, lie pays tribute to the gen ’ tlcnicn who, as the representatives if : their states, are coo] itiug with him, - and expressed the belief tii.it this work, ' when completed, will be a most valuable ; addition to the history of that great | struggle. Inspiration of tiro Work. I In writing of the inspiration of the present work, General Ainsworth says: "There is no doubt that there Is a very general desire on the part of the surviv ing participants in the groat struggle In , which the country was viigag- <1 from IBG I j to 1865, and on the part of their de i seendants a d the descendants of those ; who iia.vi- passed away, tor a publication that shall show the names ol those who, | either as ollieers or (.minted men, boro • arms for the union or for the coniedera-'j’ i during the great war. It was upon theso I conditions that the secretary of war rec- ■ ommended the compilation and publica- I lion of a complete Hst or roster of the ' oHiecrs and men who served in those •armies during the civil war. It was telt I iha.t tho publication of such a roster j would bo an appropriate and valuable ' addition to the- great work that contains I the history of the civil war and that it i would relievo congress to a great extent ; from the demands that are being made i upon it with greater urgency each :-eai for legislation for ti e benelit of certain states, and that it would also have the merit of giving to the service of the en listed man a public recognition that has heretofore b<-< a reserved almost exclu sively lor commissioned officers." General Ainsworth notes that the war department records of Individual service in the union armies are complete as it is possible to tn.ike them, but with regard to the confederate part of the roster, ■ there will be great difficulty because of ; the incompleteness of the war depart- • rr.ent collection ot confederate records. ! lie tells of the conferences with Secretary i of War Root upon this subject, the re i suit of which was tho letter of last March to the governors of tho different states which furnished soldiers to the j confederaey, asking their cooperation. Cooperation by the States. | "The responses received fre-m the gov | ernors,” says General Ainsworth, "have . I- ■ n approving and cordial, end are s>ieh I as to assure t.ie department ' that ' the chief executives of ths states that fur- J nished troops to the confederate service i fully appreciate the importance and value ■ of tho work now in hand and will co operate h. irtily with the department in i its effort to give to tho confederate sol ' dier, as far as it may be possible, the • credit that is due him in the proposed j publication, tn accordance with tho sug gestion of the secretary of war, each of tin- governors addressed, with tho excep- i ’.ion of those of the states of Maryland, ; .Missouri and Virginia, lias appointed a i representative to correspond with the de- ■ partment relative to tlpe details of the ! work and th- steps to be taken in the fur- ■ therance of it." i The plans under which the various I southern states, through the agents ap pointed b) tin- £e"j>‘.ctive governors, have 1 beep ceiidu-'.-tin.r this work are given In j some detail and reference Is made to the ' nugget t i-u. of these stane representatives, f-.irrnulated in their recent meeting in Atlanta, that the incomplete data, of the existing official records be supplement'd ' by unofficial lists and by information fur ! nlshed from memory by surviving officers and men. Os this Qeneral Ainsworth Only Offica.l Records Now. “In considering this suggestion the en"- | rotary of war b e concluded that, under ' the la v authorizing the compilation, the j department can ugp as a. basis for the i compilation only original records made i during the war period, it being ihe mani ' fest intention of congress that the roster. 1' like tile official records of the union and confederate armies, shall be. a compilation of official data, aipl that its accuracy I shall not be subject to question by reason lof it; lat i> from uni fficial I sources or from th. ■ fallible and uncertain 1 memories of a long-p>ast period. While I this adherence to contemporaneous of- I ficial records cf the war period as a I basis for the roster may result in its : being somewhat Ineomp!' tj, it is believed I that tho loss thus occasioned will be i far more than compensated tor by the removal of ail doubt as to the absolute ; accuracy of all that the roster does show. . , K3lrst. £>l-4 0 0 {=>'£> Rh e u mati c Cy r e K/Osts tfothi ’<r i it Fails.

The fact that tli„ confederate part of a roster, compiled as tie- law requires this one to lie. may not contain the name of some particular person will not be con clusive evidence that that person did not serve in the confederate army, while tho fact that the name o-f any person is -borne on the roster will be indisputable evidence that that person was in tlie mili tary service. Unbiased Contemporary Records. “The publication known as the 'Of ficial Records of t | lf , Union and Confed l erate Armies’ might have been made more | nearly complete, and perhaps more inter ! esting, If it had included unofficial doc uments or reports made from memory ; after the close of the war by partici pants in the groat struggle. It is uni versally conceded, however, that, the chief mine of that publication is due to the act that It is an unbiased presentation if the showing of contemporaneous rec , ords made during the war period, and that it contain, nothing against which . can be urged tho well-known fallibility of the human m- iuory, the natural desire ■ to extenuate or explain past actions in the light of subsequent events, and tho general disposition to make the records i show what one Hunks they ought to show ; In justice to himself, his friends or his acquaintances. The application of the . same rule to the recently authorized ros ' ter Is believed to be necessary in order that effect shall be given to the mani ‘ fest of congress that the compilation : shall bo one upon which future genera tions can rely as a source of historical information of undoubted accuracy.” Sp- aking of the public interest in th» ■ work General Ainsworth’s comment Is: "So far as the war department is ad vised, the projiosition to publish a roster i of the union and confederate armies has been wet’, receiv-i tn all sections of tho I country. Tho department lias not b-'en advised of any expression on the sub ject by any organized body of union yet : oiot.s. but at ,he meeting of the Con federate Veterans at Ni w Or: ans in l May last a res- 'ution was unanimously i adopted commondins; the work and urg ing upon all cons. • ’-etc soldiers and tholr I descendants who have in their possession I anv original records ontalning the names lof ’ confederate soldiers to send them to 1 tho governors of the respe-tive states ' for transmission to tho secretary of i Valuable Results Expected. I Tlie progress of the work in hand is ! such as to give promise of valuai ro i suits. “It Is early yet,” wys General Ainsworth, “to look for any extended re i suits from the initiatory steps taken lor I the collection of missing records, but the | work done Is already bearing fruit, a I considerable number of original records ; having been received from the state of- I ficials, historical associations and prl j vate individuals. These records have been copied and returned to the persons from whom they were received. The actual work of compihr.g names for the roster cannot be undertaken until the prelimi . r.ars work of co, .. ing and indexing the | confederate record . which is now in prog ress. shall have i>-on completed or unlil it shall have been so far advimced as to justifv the diversion of a. portion of the clerical force for that purpose. Relative ly little work in preparation for the com pilation of the names of the officers and enlisted men of the volunt'-.-r force of the union nrniv will b» necessary that work having b-• :i accomplished in the compl' tion of the much greater work or reproducing th-.r Individual military rec ords by tlie ind -.-record card system. HOW THE SOUTH LEADS. (From Leslie's Weekly.) Some of James D. B de Bow’s prophe cies are being strikingly verified.

At the cou.-h where infant beauty sleeps; Iler silent watch the mournful mother keeps ; She, while the lovely babe unconsci’>us lies, Smiles on her slumbering child with pensive eyes. A fear clutches nt the heart of the mother that her own little one tnay not • live long. She dreads its second sum- : iner, or that it may never wake from its sound sleep. All mankind loves a . mother —loves to see a mother love her \ child. A baby and its mother are in- . sured against ill-health if the mother : takes Dr* Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, a tonic for women that Dr. R. V. Pierce invented over a third of a cen- j tury ago for women’s ills. This is a vegetable tonic, made only of barks, roots and herbs, which puts the female system into perfect, healthy action. Be fore baby’s coming it is just tlie uterine i tonic that puts the womanly system into a proper condition to make the birth painless and to insure a healthy child. Many mothers of families in the United States have reason to be grateful to the person who recommended Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It does not cure eczema, catarrh in all its forms, nor heart disease, for it is put up for the single purpose of curing disease pecu liar to women. It has a reputation of over thirty-eight years of cures, and has sold more largely on this continent than any other medicine for women. Another point in its favor : it does not contain a single drop of alcohol nor of any nar cotic. It is purely vegetable. An alco holic compound for women is something no woman should take.

I want to recommend it especially to mothers. I was seventeen years old when my dar . ling boy was born. Felt very exhausted and weak for a long time, and it seemed I coidd not get my strength back. My sister-in-law bought me a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription (after I had tried several of the other remedies which are so much advertised, and found no relief ). I had little faith in the med icine at the time and was so weak and , sick that I felt discouraged, but within a week after I had commenced taking your " Prescription ” I was like a differ ent woman. New life ami vitality seemed to come with each succeeding day, until, in a few weeks, I was in fine health, and a happy, hearty woman.

Was nervous; had sick headaches, backache, 1 pain in small of back, had no appetite, pain in mv left side. I was a complete wreck. I had tried many doctors and did not get well, so had given up the thought of ever getting better. I have taken eight bottles of ‘ Favorite Prescrip tion,’ and to-day feel like a new woman.

I content myself with . stating the fact that forty years ago i we had only one-fourth as much foreign I commerce to transport as we have now. j yet we actually carried in American bot- • toms forty years ago three times as much foreign commerce as we carry today These conditions may be satisfactory to you. They seem to bo satisfactory to many. But they are not satisfactory to me. ”T am not ignorant of the argument that if foreign countries are willing to subsidize ships to carry our freight, it. Inures to our advantage. This migKT be a sufficient excuse for our supine Indifference If there were no other con sideration involved than merely carrying our freight across the Atlantic ocean in times of peace. Unfortunately, how ever, there are many other and weightier considerations. Our Commerce in War. “If war were to be called between an? two of tho groat powers of Europe our foreign commerce would be not only help less. but hopeless. “As certain as the world revolves the time will come when our people will ' give more heed to securing a respectable I share of the trade of South American ’ republics.

But if ship subsidies will insure i us a merchant marine th- n I am for ! ship subsidies. If some otter treasure i will insure a merchant marine, then I 'am for some other measure.
