X MRS MR. GLADSTONE ’S LAST PUBLIC ADDRESS NELSON A. MILES. The General*« Wife la an Ideal Con ■art for a Soldier. Mrs. Nelson A. Miles, wife of th' commander of the United States aruijr, is one of the most Attractive and hos pitable women in Washington, and deeply interested in every mow tluit is made by the American army. Slut lias always taken an interest in tlgbting since she has been a soldier’s wife. Years ago when the general was only CoL Miles, in command of the ITenidto In San Francisco, he and Mrs. Miles were culled “the handsomest couple in MRS. SIILE». Sitesiklng tn Liverpool two years ago, he denounced the T utk I s I i crusade against the Armenians. THE SIXTH MASSACHUSETTS. Fanions Regiment’s Seoond through Baltimore. March Times change and men change with them. This truth Is recalled by the reception accorded the Sixth Massa chusetts Regiment tn Baltimore while on its way to the encampment in Falls Church, Va., to aid In crushing Spain. This greeting was splendid in concep tion anil carrying out anil reflects great credit upon the Baltimoreans who left nothing undone that could contribute to the glorification of the Bay State soldiery while within the coniines of Maryland's great city. In marked con trast to this was the reception given to the same regiment In the same city on April 19, 1861, while on its way to Washington. Then the command was set upon by a mob numbering thou sands, and before the regiment cut its way through the infuriated multitude five soldiers were killed ami twenty- four wounded. The number of dead and wounded In the assaulting column was never correctly ascertained, but from the most authentic sources at least thirty were killed and more than 100 wounded. The tight was desperate for more than a mile and the volleys of the soldiers were given with the muz- I zles of their guns within a few feet of those who disputed their passage. This assault made the regiment famous, as It was the first blood shed in the civil conflict The commander. Edward F, Jones, scented an uprising in January, 1861, and had his companies, chiefly from boston, ready weeks before the firing on Fort Sumter. As soon as President Lincoln Issued the call for 75,000 men Jones had the Sixth in motion ami had tile honor of leading the first regiment down Broadway, New York, for the moreans and led to a general arming of the men and boys, who threatened to massacre any Northern troops that should attempt the march through their city. The public mind became so Inflamed that the Mayor pleaded with President Lincoln to withhold his as sent to having any more regiments pass through, as it might lead to the destruction of the city. The order was secured and Washing ton. for some time after, was reached by Northern regiments going around by way of Annapolis and avoiding Bal timore. It was several weeks before Baltimore cooled down sufficiently to permit T'nion soldiers to march unmo lested through her streets. Long ago Boston and Baltimore made up for this scrimmage and have been the best friends since, and it was at the request of the Marylanders that the Sixth Regiment, equipped for service against a foreign foe. be Invited to trend the streets where her march was so rudely disturbed thirty-seven years ago. The invitation was promptly ac cepted by Col. Woodward and his men. When the regiment arrived there it met with a magnificent welcome. For four hours thousands hung around the Mount Royal station awaiting the sol- dires. When they did arrive 20,000 peo ple were massed in the square ajid a great shout went up as the Boston boys left the train. A delegation of 200 of the leading citizens headed by Mayor j Malster met the troops. The Mayor In words touching and tender addressed the Sixth, and bode them God-speed on their Journey, and then presented a floral shield In the shape of a large bas ket of clioice flowers. Across the face of tiie flora) shield was the Inscription in violets: “Maryland and Massachusetts.” On streamers extending from the basket were the inscriptions: “Baltimore wel comes the Sixth Massachusetts;’’ “Flowers, Not Bullets/’ “God Bless Y’ou and Bring You Safely Home,” “Maryland Honors Massachusetts. May 21. 1898.” Col. Woodward made an elo quent address for the visitors, and as the army.” Mrs. Miles has uot lost much of that charm that made her the goddess of every young fellow from West Point In lier young days In Cali fornia. She was Mary Sherman before her marriage. Her father was Judge Sherman, a brother of the Senator and the General. Her hair Is dark and abundant, her eyes are a grayish blue and her manners are winning. Slie is as kind and attentive to the wife of a second lieutenant as to the wife of a brigadier general, and that is why she has ever been popular, no matter where stationed. Mrs. Miles accompanied tlie General on ills trip to Europe last year. Slie accompanied him. too on some of his expeditions against the Indians, mil was often within sound of the shooting.
