MEETING OF G. A. R. ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT BEING HELD AT PHILADELPHIA. Quaker City Handsomely Decorated In Honor of the Boys Who Fought For the Union In the Sixties—The Big Parade. Philadelphia, Sept. 4.—The 33d annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic began today. Never again, perhaps, will Philadelphia be the scene of a national encampment of the G. A. R. Os the valiant men who defended the cause of the Union there remains but a remnant and with the depletion of the ranks the welcome with which the veterans were received was the more heartfelt and enthusiastic. Admiral Sampson with his fleet of fighting ships arrived here yesterday and this event marked the beginning of the week’s celebration. The city is crowded with strangers, while the incoming trains from all sections are bringing thousands upon thousands to help swell the throng. In anticipation of the coming of the host of visitors, and in recognition of the patriotism of the veterans, who freely’ offered their lives in defense of the Union, Mayor Ashbridge issued a proclamation in which he recommended the events to the ‘‘loyal and patriotic” interest of the people, urging the decoration of stores and dwellings in every street in the city. The big parade tomorrow will be in 12 divisions. Post No. 1, from Rockford, Ills., the oldest post in the Grana Army, will head the line. As the veterans pass around the city hall they will be reviewed by President McKinley, who is expected to arrive here tonight, accompanied by Secretaries Root and Gage and Postmaster General Smith. There will be over 42,000 men in line. A question of absorbing interest to G. A. R. veterans, which will be decided during the encampment, is the election of a commander-in-chief and other officers. Two candidates prominent in the field are Albert D. Shaw of Joe Spratt post, Watertown, N. Y.,and Judge Leo Russieur of St. Louis. • 'Private” James L. Dalzell of Company H, One Hundred and Sixteenth Ohio is also a candidate. Others urged by their friends are Colonel W. C. Johnson of Cincinnati, acting commander-in-chief, and Brigadier General Charles Miller of Venago, Pa. Elaborate preparations have been made ior the entertainment of President and Mrs. McKinley. The front rooms of an entire floor have been set apart for their accommodation at the Hotel Walton, and nothing has been left undone that will add to their comfort. The president will take part in the big reception at the Academy of Music tomorrow evening, and after reviewing the big parade will be entertained at lunch in the city hall. Philadelphia, Sept, a.—The campaign for commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. is waxing warm. It is one of the fiercest contests that the G. A. R. has been engaged in for a long time.' There are three candidates in the field—Acting Conimauder-in-Chief W. C. Johnson of Cincinnati, Comrade Leo Rassieur of St. Louis and Colonel Albert D. Shaw of Watertown, N. Y. The friends of each of the candidates claim that their favorite is already a winner. A careful canvass among the different departments, however, indicates that Colonel Shaw has a little the better of the contest. That gentleman in an interview said that he was absolutely sure of victory and said that the fight was all over. Neither Colonel Johnson nor Comrade Rassieur would speak directly about the contest, but their lieutenants express the greatest confidence in the outcome of the struggle. Each of the candidates has a headquarters in full operation and are distributing badges and hanging out banneer to help along their campaigns. The election to the minor offices of the Grand Army is temporarily lost sight of, and very little attention will be paid to’those offices until a commander-iu-chief shall have been chosen. While the delegations from Ohio, Missouri and New York are battling for supremacy, the delegation from Illinois is putting up a great fight for the privilege of entertaining the Grand Army at Chicago next year. Every veteran of the department of Illinois now in the city is decorated with a large yellow ribbon on which is incribed in big black letters “Chicago 1900.” The leaders of the Chicago boom say they wnl win hands down. At present they have no opponent of any consequence. It was reported that Denver, San Francisco, St Louis and one or two other cities are in'the field, but if those cities are, they are “lying low,” as there is no evidence on the' surface that they are in the tight. President Arrives at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Sept. 5. —President McKinley arrived from Washington last uight to attend the Grand Army celebration. He was accompanied by Secretary Root, President Schurman of the Philippine commission, John Add - son Porter, his secretary, and Assistant Secretary Cortelyou. masked men Hold Up a Gamblingroom at Spokane and Get 81,900Spokane, Wash., Sept. 4. - Two masked men walked into Harry Green s gamblingrooms on the second floor of a block in the very heart of the business district and held up 15 men. lootedthe tills and safe and escaped with <1,900 in cash In the chase and subsequent cap?we’ot one of the thugs, Policeman Gemmrig was shot in the groin and perhaps fatally wounded.

Woman. Wheel and Sprinkler. Doubtless every pprson who rides a wheel has a very vivid and distinct recollection of the early struggles with the machine and how objects In the path seemed to exercise an uncontrollable attraction tor the unskilled rider, with the result of a collision. Probably the saddest case of this kind lately recorded was that of a stout lady who was practicing in Michigan avenue the other afternoon. She was evidently a beginner and more than half afraid of the bicycle, and when, in attempting to pass a sprinkling cart, the wheel steered itself toward it she yielded to the bike and rode directly against the rear of the cart. Notwithstanding the fact that the sprinkling apparatus was in full play and that she was almost enveloped in the miniature fountain, she held on and pedaled, meanwhile screaming loudly for help. A park policeman divined her predicament and rode to her rescue, but not before her bicycle suit and temper had been completely spoiled. — Chicago News. President Dwight's Pun. President Dwight and President Elect Hadley were returning home from the annual alumni dinner when they were caught in the rain. President Elect Hadley had an umbrella with him, and President Dwight did not. Professor Hadley, of course, wished the retiring president of Yale to protect himself from the rain by the use of the umbrella, but President Dwight declineu to rob Professor Hadley of his umbrella in order that he himself might ward off the rain. Professor Hadley, however, insisted that President Dwight accept the courtesy, and his arguments became so energetic that finally President Dwight turned and said; “See here, Hadley, this is my reign still. Your reign doesn't commence until tomorrow.” President Elect Hadley allowed the president of Yale to have his own way on the last day of his administration.—New Haven Register. The Mask. A peculiar nature is that which combines impulsive frankness with the reserve acquired by a thoughtful mind accustomed to depend upon itself. Such a person hates to reveal a traitof character. In early times men made tbeir houses of tree branches covered with mud. There Is still much of the savage in us, and we enjoy hiding in such an aboriginal habitation. We cover our true si a with cynicism or conceal it under reserve. Occasionally a passerby knocks off a bit of the outer crust and catches a glimpse of the interior, and then we feel annoyed at the mental Paul Pry.

Followed Instructions. Senator Clark of Montana recently laid nn asphalt walk before his western home and, the composition being not yet dry, caused a temporary boardwalk to be erected with the sign. "Take the Boardwalk.” Some local wags noted this and the day after its appearance carried off the walk and wrote under the sign the words, ‘‘We Have.” He Couldn't Beach It. The following anecdote concerning the famous lecture on “The Holy Land,” which, it is said, ex-Governor Oglesby never succeeded in delivering as he prepared it, is related in Franc B. Wilkie's pamphlet on the life of the governor: He had been invited to deliver this lecture at a country town in Illinois and accepted. A large crowd gathered to hear him, and he was greeted with loud applause as he stepped forward to lecture. He was only to speak for one hour and said in beginning he would preface his lecture with a fewremarks on his experience in Europe. At the end of 2% hours he was still talking about Europe, and because the people seemed so delighted he announced that he would deliver the lecture the next evening. The same people came back, re-en-forced by many more, and at the end of another two hours he stopped without having said anything about the Holy Land, except to announce that as his subject The third night there was a monster gathering, and Governor Oglesby, after finishing up Europe, started to say a few words about Egypt and the Nile before beginning his lecture. At last he looked at his watch and. with a look of astonishment, turned to one of ids friends on the platform and said: “Well, here it is 11 o'clock, and I’ll be hanged if I’ve got to the Holy I.and yet.”—Chicago Tribune. Senator Elkina’ Great Scheme. During the presidential campaign of 1892 Senator Quay and Senator Elkins, who were managing the Republican Interests, and ex-Senator Brice and Henry Watterson, who were in charge of the Democratic headquarters, used to live at the same hotel and frequently dined together. One evening, as they were sitting at the same table, Mr. Brice looked over to Senator Quay and asked: "How are you folks off for money?” “We are very hard up.” replied the Republican chairman. "How are you getting along?” “Well,” said Brice, “whenever we want money I go down into my own pocket for it. I have not been able to get much anywhere else.” “Yon are lucky to have a pocket to go into.” said Senator Quay. “If 1 had money of my own, I would not grumble.” “But.” said Brice, “I have to borrow It” “Gentlemen.” said Senator Elkins, “I have a suggestion to make. Suppose we four go down town tomorrow and borrow $1,000,000 upon our joint indorsement and divide It between the two parties and then let whichever one wins pay the notes

He Didn't Get the Trnln. A gentleman who went to Europe on the steamer which bore J. P. Morgan tells an interesting story of the financier. He had ser4 a cablegram from New York to the superintendent of the railroad line at Southampton for a special train to London. Mr. Morgan, upon disembarking, was met by the superintendent, to whom he said: “Did you get my cablegram?” “Yes.” xvas the response, “but we never send special trains with less than 20 passengers.” “But I offered to pay the full price,” responded the banker. “Can't help it, you know,” was the curt rejoinder: “we never break our rules.” Ar.d Mr. Morgan went to London on the regular nassemrer train. Whipped Hl» Baby. Monroe Hedges, 10C years old, whipped his 80-year-old son Hiram at Indianapolis the other day and placed him in the hands of surgeons. The father lives in a little house in Anderson. Ind. He claims the distinction of being the man who drove the first spike on the first railway ever constructed in Indiana. His 89-year-old wife died recently. His strength and metal activity are something marvelous. Hiram was one of the babies of the family, A Rioted E-Jncntor. Professor O. T. Corson, recently elected president of the National Educational association, is an Ohio man. He was born in Preble county 42 years ago and lias been a schoolteacher since his youth. He was educated at the Ohio Wesleyan university, at Delaware. 0., and has been the superintendent of schools in many Ohio towns. In 1891. while living in Cambridge, he was elected state school commissioner and served two terms. Since leaving that office Professor Corson has been editor and publisher of an educational paper and has made his home in Columbus. He recently declined the presidency cf Athens college, preferring tc devote his time to periodical and educational work on broader lines. Enllstlnu With Bnllnnt. Clarence Baker, a local barber of Lincoln, Neb., after five attempts te get into the United States regular service. lias been accepted. He was examined in the morning and was found to be four pounds under weight. He was told to drink as much water as his stomach could comfortably hold and return after dinner. His weight was satisfactory at the afternoon examination, and lie was accented BHlville’s Postmaster. Our new postmaster ran so fast for office that be didn't have time to get educated. The following sign is posted on the postoffice window: “Thar is 2 Lettairs inside for Molly Gibbens. They look like they’re from her son, Bill, who is Bin Mustard Out. Allsore 2 Lettairs for Hise Holman (I mean, One-legged Hise) which looks like they’re From the Widder Stevens, as Her Ritin is knewed by Everybody.

UUluu lllu "Ulul UUduui Everyone who has had experience with blood diseases knows that there are no ailments or troubles so obstinate and difficult to cure. Very few remedies claim to cure such real, deep-seated blood diseases as S. S. S. cures, and none can offer such incontrovertible evidenced merit. 8 S. S. is not merely a tonic —it is a cure 1 It goes down to the very seat of all blood diseases, and gets at the foundation of the very worst cases, and routs the poison from the system. It does not, like other remedies, dry up the poison and hide it from view temporarily, only to break forth again more violently than ever; S. 8. 8. forces out every trace of taint, and rids the system of it forever. Mrs.T. W. Lee, Montgomery, Ala., writes: “Some years ago I was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected my babe with blood taint, I was covered with sores and y ulcers from head to foot, and in my great extremity I prayed to die. Several prominent physicians treated me, but all tv* to no purpose. The mercury and potash which they Lk r x AjF gave me seemed to add fuel to the awful flame which was Tfe--} jMh devouring me. I was advised by friends who had seen wonderful cures made by it, to try Swift’s Specific. I improved from the start, as the medicine seemed to go direct ■. to the cause of the trouble and force the poison out. Twenty bottles cured me completely.” Swift’s Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —is the only remedy that is guaranteed purely vegetable, and contains no mercury, potash, arsenic, or any other mineral or chemical. It never fails to cure Cancer, Eczema, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Tetter, Boils, Carbuncles, Sores, etc. Valuable books mailed free by Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Ga.
