NEGLECT OF I HERO
IS WIS DISGRACE
New York. Jan. IS ? A most
stinging rt?buke to the penny pinch
ing patriot* of the United State?
was started this morning when Mrs
Helen I.ongstre*t, wife of the <lt?
tinguisht-d Confederate General, ar
riving in the city and announced
that she came here with the In
tention of raining twenty-three thoua
and dollars with which to free Gen
era] Daniel E. Sickles from his ar
rest for debt. General Sickles and
G?neral Longstreet were civil mar
foea. but they were both heroes
and soldiers of which the world
mat be proud General lx>ngatreet
is dead aud General Sickles, to the
disgrace of a purse grabbing peo
ple. is under arrest for debt, with
the wife of his former foe raising
money to get him out of trouble.
General Sickles served In the
battles of Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill,
Antietam. seven days before Rich
mond. he commanded the Third
Army Corps, army of Potomac, par
ticipating in the Chancellorsville
campaign and battle of tJettysburg.
He was brevetted Brigadier Oeneral
for gallant and meritorious services
at the battle of Fredericksburg, he
was again promoted for bravery and
meritorious services at Gettysburg,
where he was wounded In the right'
leg which had to be amputated, and
he was later awarded a Congrewlon
al Medal of Honor for "most dis
tinguished gallantry In action on
the fields of Gettysburg both before
and after the loss of his leg."
This national hero, this man of
Iron, this great leader in the na
tions greatest cause, is not a finan-.
clal success He does not know
how to clip coupons and to rob hi*
fellow man. He got into debt and
gave security on his all. He could
not pay, and the Shylocks have him
In their grasp Our dollar loving
nation forgot him, and this cultured
daughter of the I .oca Cause heard
of his distress and came to his re
lief.
Brooklyn, Jan. 28 ? The senti
ment in this city is that the arrest
of General Sickles is a national
shame
8KA(.WA\ HAS All
KINDS ?>P TIMKS
This (treat and glorious Ameri
can Government, through its effi
cient signal officers. Messrs Bur
ton and Little, delivers correct
time in Skagway each morning at
1 1 o'clock Notwithstanding this
paternal Interest the government is
taking in teaching us promptness,
there are no two clocks or chrono
meters In Skagway that bear any
relationship to each other, or pay
any attention to the dally admon
ition by the government.
When it is eleven a m. by the
Canadian Pacific clock, It is eleven
seventeen by the Alaska SteamsMp
clock, and the Pacific Coast regu
lator Insists that It Is only about
ten fifty The Jewelers' chrono
meters are not on speaking terms
and refuse to get together on a
timely subject.
Father Turnell rings his church
bell about fifteen minutee after the
laundry whistle blows, and the city
gong plunks out a note when no
one else Is occupying the moment
The railroad offices seem to keep a
sort of White Tass time, and tak
| Ing it all In all we are having a
| d ? 1 of a time to keep any kind of
time at mil. Therefore, be It re
solved that beginning tomorrow, or
today, for there Is no time like the
present, we set our watches, clocks,
turnips, hour glasses, chronometers
and sun dials by the cable office
clock. Thus a great deal of mental
anguish will bo saved to those who
worry.
