Mr. John S. Wise will speak on "Recollections of Fourteen Presidents" in the Living Room of the Union tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock.
Mr. Wise's life is as interesting as it is varied. While an undergraduate at the University of Virginia, he enlisted in the Confederate Army and served as second lieutenant until General Lee's surrender in 1865. He carried the last message from Lee to President Davis. After the war, Mr. Wise returned to the University and was graduated in 1867. Fourteen years later he was elected to Congress from Virginia on the Republican ticket, soon after he ran for governor, but was defeated. Since 1885 he has been engaged in the practice of law in New York and has written books on several subjects.
