- IS‘A BORN SOLDlER.
Brigadier General Charles King Noted for
Bravery.
The War has made few men as happy
as Captain (now brigadier general)
Charles King, the novelist. it will in-
terfere with his literary work, but suc-
cessful as he has been with the 'pen,
his friends say that his larger love is
for the sword.
retirement he has never ceased to be
a. soldier, and in that capacity has
found as much to do in his community
as his working hours would allow him
to.
He is a small man for a. warrior, be-
ing npt more than five feet four inches
in height, but every inch is a soldier.
He is as straight as theitraditional In-
dian, and seems taller on that ac-
count, as all men of military carriage
do. ‘ ,

CHARLES KING.
Captain Charles King was born Oc-
tober 12, 1844, at Albany, N. Y. He
comes'of a. family that is distinguished
in literature and politics. His father,
Rufus King, was for some years minis-
ter resident for pontifical states at
Rome, and during-the civil war became
brigadier general of volunteers. His
grandfather, Charles King, LL. D.,
was president of Columbia College.
His great grandfather, Rufus King,
was one of'the signers of the Constitu-
tion, was long United States senator
from the state of New York, and was
twice minister at the court of St.
James. On his mother’s side Captain
King is descended from the Indian
apostle, J-ohn Eliot.
One year after the birth of his son,
Rufus King resigned from the engin-
eer corps of the army and removed to
Milwaukee, Wis., to become editor and
proprietor of the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Thus it came about that Charles’s boy-
hood was. spent in the growing West
and on the shores of Lake Michigan,
Where he still makes his home. In 1858
he was sent to New York city to be
educated at the grammar school of Co-
lumbia College by Dr. Charles An-
thon, and in June, 1861, .he passed his
examination for the freshman class in
the college. But the civil war had be-
gun, and within twenty-four hours af-
ter he had passed his examination,
Charles King turnd up in the camp
of the Wisconsin volunteers alt Wash-
ington, D. C., drum sticks in hand.
For a few Weeks he was busy teach-
ing his fellow badger boys the use of
the drum sticks, and then, at the or-
ganization of the Wisconsin brigade,
the command of which was tendered
to his father, the sixteen year old boy
was made mounted orderly at brigade
headquarters.
In this capacity he saw his first real
soldier-ing in Virginia. In October, 1861,
with the promise of a. cadetship at
West Point, from President Lincoln
himself, Charles King began to take
even a livelier interest in military af-
fairs, -and in June, 1862, he entered 'on
him academic career and graduated
four years later.
From the fall of 1866 until January,
1869, Lieutenant King was attacfied to
Light Battery K, First Artillery, serv-
ing at New Orleans. .On the latter date
he was transferred to Light Battery C,
at Fort Hamilton, New York. He servi-
ed a few weeks on recruiting service
at Cincinnati, Ohio, in the spring of
1869, but was ordered to West Point
as instructor in cavalry tactics and
horsem-anship. At the military acade-
my he served as commandant of Com?
pany C.
On April 7, 1972, the international
race, gentlemen riders, was ridden on
the 01d Metarie track under the aus-
pices of the Metarie Jockey Club. Eng-
land, Ireland, Austria and Franoe were
represented. The challengers W‘el'e
Count Victor Crenneville of -.,the Aus-
trian Hussars and Captain George Ro-
senlecher 05 France. But Lieutenant
Charles King, returning to the city
from a' tour of inspection through Mis-
sissippi, heard of the un'accepted chal-
lenge open to the United States, and at
once obtain-ed General E‘mory,’s per-,
mission to take up the gauntlet.
A great crowd was present on the
day of the race and the judges’ stand
was a beautiful sight. It was too soon
after the war for a. Yankee to have
manyfriends among the fair ones of,
New Orleans, and, while the, blue and
gold bars of captain Rosenlechen, the
scarlet and white of the Austrian; the
cherry red and dark blue of ‘Mr. Stu-
art, who rods for England, and the
green of Ireland, were to be seen every-
where among the parasols or ribbons
and colors of the ladies, not more than
one ctr two had the courage to wear
King’s colors. He was alttired in the
colors of his old college, Columbia, sky
blue and white, and looked the gentle-
man rider to perfection. It was a beau-
tiful race. The "Yank” won it by just
two horse lengths. After the gold
mounted whip was presented to him
from the judges’ zit-end and the other
gentlemen had cordially congratulated
the victor. he took his prize across the
- track and laid it in fps lap of Te young
In all the years of his, ‘
'but'Mr." Scott, seeing the corner he was
lady who had a empanied General
and Mrs. Emory to the scene, and who
wore the aide-dc camps colors, She
has that whip yet, and shakes it at him
sometimes but has never used it on
their children. Thor,r were married the
fall following.
In an engagement at Diamond Butte
on May 23, 1874, King’s gallantry won
from President Grant 31 recommenda-
tion to the Senate for the brevet com-
mission of captain. The Senate re-
ferred the matter to the military com-
mission, and there it was lost. On No-
vember 1, 1874, King was dangerously
wounded at Sunset Pass. He was then
saved from falling into the hands of
the savages by the devotion of Ser-
geant Bernard Taylor, a devotion’ car-
ried to the point of insubordination,
for the latter refused to save himself,
although ordered to do so, and held the
howling Apaches in check until rein-
forcements arrived. ‘
It was characteristic of King that
he should have exposed himself to the
certainty of torture and a. horrible
death by ordering Sergeant Taylor to
leave him. And it is gratifying to note
that Congress awarded a. medal of
honor to Taylor. Kin-g himself gained
no recognition. His only brevets were
his wounds received in action. ‘
In the study where Captain King
writes his soldier stories is the verita-
ble Navajo blanket in which the sol-
diers bundled their crippled leader and
bore him down the mountain side when
the fight was over. King in every-
thing, save, that crippled arm of his, 15
a soldier. With him it is the soldier
and the soldier life that predominates.

NAMING THE MONTEREY.
Was Named in Honor of a Victory but Not
of a Battle.
The story of ,the naming of the big
coast defence monitor Mon'terey, that
is on guard now at San Francisco, has
never been told in print. When prep-
arations for her launching were being
made at San Francisco, Irving M. Scott,
general manager of the Union Iron
Works, was at W’ashington and a num-
ber of Chlifo-rnians wired him to use
his influence with Benjamin F. 'I‘racy,
then secretary of the navy, 'to have
the ship named for some California
town, and Scott hit upon Mton'terey as
a name that appealed to him as ap-
propriate and the request was accord-
ingly preferred.
“1’11 see what 1 can do,” said the
amiable secretary, and ringing a hell,
he summoned the head of the depart-
ment having 'the matter in charge.
When the matter was explained the
chief of bureau replied:~ .
j “But you know, Mr. Secretary, the
rules-require that ships of that class
shall be named in honor of some naval
battle in which the Americans have
participated. So far as I know there
has never been a battle of Monterey."
_.,_'.,l‘lhis rule has been changed since,
in, as the matter stood, retorted
promptly:
"Yes, it is true that there has neVer
been a battle of Monterey, but let me
tell you a story. In 1846, when we
were having our little unpleasan-tness
with Mexico, an American man-of-war
was lying in the harbor of Mazatlan.
Near him lay an Englishman who had
an uncomfortable way of keeping her
guns pointed in the direction of the
American. Now, that Yankee skipper,
who was typical of his class, got it into
his head to raise his flag at ,Monterey,
C-a1., which was the capital of that ter-
ritory, and it so happened that the
Englishman got just the same noltiou
just about the same time. The Yankee
suspected something of the kind, and
made up his mind not to be outwitted.
“Date that afternoon he sent a lot .of
his men ashore, and when the boats re-
turned to the ship without them the
Britisher made up his mind that thev
would not be back until the following
day. Satisfied with his conclusiqon he
sat doun to wait. But the Yankee
was a-hustler, as Yankee sailors al-
ways are. The night was as dark as a
stack of black cats, and along about
10 o'clock; the Ainerlcan boats, ,with
muffled oars. rowed back' to the ship,
and. In the ink; darkness that Yankee
skipper slipped his cable. and warped

GOLD MINING'AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKON.
PHIBE OF SHARES TO BE ADVANCED AUGUST 3|, IBQB.
Mr. Joseph Ladue, the pioneer of the Klondike, and founder of
Dawson City, aided by some of the most conservative and successful finan-
ciers of New York, is operating the" strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukon gold fields.
To this Company he has transferred placer claims on Hunker and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “Marguerite ” Quartz Mine, his Saw Mill, ;
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the l
Klondike, and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City. 1
The Company also owns the S. S. “ Morgan City ” now earning $20,000 per 1 1
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise, l
for trade, upon which a very large profit 15 assured. The U. S ,Govemment
reports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales price of which 15 from $140 to 8240 per 1,000 feet
according to class. 0
CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY. ,
Preferred Stock, 65 cumulative, $1,000,000
Common Stock, 4,000,000
Total Capital, par value, 510 per share, $5,000,000
The preferred stock has a first lien on earnings for its dividend,
and on the assets of the Company for its par value, and after all the
stock of the Company has received 6 per cent, the surplus earnings. are
shared pro rata by the preferred and common stock.
Thus the preferred stock practically offers the safeguards and advantages
of a first mortgage bond, coupled with an earning capacity as great as that of '
the common stock.
The undersigned has obtained a short option on a block of this preferred
stock which he now offers at par, $10. 00 per share. This option terminates
August 3xst, 1898, after which the price of the preferred stock will be
advanced by the Company to $12. 50 per share.
This is the last opportunity to get the preferred stock at par, and
in time to participate in the autumn dividend. Shares will be alloted 1n the l
order subscriptions are received. _
