HID MAN GETS THERE

Brown is Chosen by the Grand J Army of the Republic as Its Commander-in-Chief. HO ONE ELSE IS III THE HACE Archbishop Ireland Klected Chap-lain-in-Chicl' Much Feelins Against a Wirz Monument. Minneapolis. Aug. 17. Commander-in-chief, K. B. Brown, Zanesville. O.; senior vice commander, William II. Armstrong, Indianapolis; junior vice commander, E. B. Kenton, Detroit; chaplain-in-chief. Archbishop John Ireland, St. Paul; surgeon general, W. II. Johnson, Lincoln, Neb. The foregoing are the officers elected at the annual meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic. All other officers are staff appointments, and will be announced later by the new commander-in-chief. The strongest opponents of Brown for the honor of being commander-in-chief were C. G. Burton, of Missouri, and Captain V. II. Coney, of Kansas. Both of these withdrew when it was seen that the election of Brown was a cer-! tainty. Saratoga Favored for Next Year. After the elections the place of holding the next encampment was taken up, and the Now York delegation presented Saratoga. An adjournment was taken before a vote was reached, and other cities that desire the en campment will have an opportunity to present their claims today. The senti ment is strong, however, in favor of Saratoga. It is expecred that the de bate on the Wirz proposition will also come up today. The present probabili ty is that some animated discussion will follow the introduction of any resolution on the matter. New Chief Enlisted As a Roy. The new commander-in-chief of the Grand Army, It. B. Brown, was born in 1845 and has always lived in Ohio. He enlisted in the Fifteenth Ohio infantry at the age of H years, and served in the Fourteenth army corps in the Army of the Cumberland until he was mustered out in IStVL- He then re-enlisted as a veteran soldier, and served as such until the end of the war. He was a private throughout the first three years of his service, and then became a non-commissioned officer. He has always been active and prominent in the work of the Grand Army. Brown is now editor of the Zanesville Courier. HOME, CANTEEN AND WIKZ Two Most Important Questions That Are To Be Considered. The business sessions of the Grand Army opened with 1,500 delegates present. The most Important questions are the abolition of the canteen from the old soldiers' homes and the pn posed erection of a monument to Hen ry Wirz by the women of the south On the (luestion of the canteen the delegates are apparently about evenly divided, according to the officers. On the question of a monument to Wirz there is on all sides almost a bitter feeling of opposition. The report of Commander-in-Chief Tanner covered all features of the work during the last year. Na men tion was made of the canteen question, but recommendation was made that the Grand Armv enter a disnified and emphatic protest against the erection of the Wirz monument. Commander Tanner declared the G. A. It. has at tained "a position of commanding influence, which has been beneficial not only to our own comrades, but to the n-ttion which we served th its hour of peril." The commander bitterly ar raigned those who.posing as the "most eminent men of the nation," had proved false .to their trust in variom ways, but declared that among all such the name of no civil war veteran could be found. The total membership is declared in the report of Adjutant Genera! Twee dale to be 2".",S'J5. an increase of It 3CS during the last six months. The losses by death for the year ended Dec. 31. 190.", were 0.205, or 3.90 per cent. In the preceding year the loss by death reached exactly the same per courage, me receipts from tne per capita tax are declared insufficient The suggestion is made that the tax be increased from 0V2 cents to 5 cents per annum. It is estimated by the police tha the number of prostrations during the time of the parade was more than 100. The great majority of these were wo men walking in the procession. Mrs. Carrie Sparkling, of St. Louis was elected national president of the Women's Relief Corps. Her principal rival was Mrs. Kate Jones, of. New York. Mrs. Sparkling has previously held a number of high offices in the or ganization. They Have Earned the Limit. New York, Aug. 17.

Humor end Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH

FERT PARAGRAPHS. Contracting clebtedness. debt expands your InAn excellent way to keep your friends from becoming too much attached to you is to freely criticise them for their own good. Modern preachers ought to learn to give merely an indeterminate sentence of matrimony. JVtU Some people do not live beyond their means because the grocers are on to them. A brand of prosperity that the unfortunate would feel is the kind that most people are interested in. They are never bothered with the tipping system on the frontier. There are people so disagreeable that they find harmony only in discord. The money that you haven't got is the only kind that is tainted. A. genius is an abnormal man who works at it and is glad of it. Just a Dream. I dreamed one night that black was white. That fishes grew on trees. That fast was slow, that high was low, That elbow joints were knees; dreamed that steak was coffee cake, That noodlf-s were ice cream, That lean was fat, that this was that Say. wasn't that a dream? dreamed that eggs had wooden legs, That sauerkraut was sweet. That whistles rang and maidens sang A ditty with their feet, That trees could walk and spoons could talk And no one lost their bets, N That paina and aches and rattlesnakes Were really household pets. I dreamed that mice gave good advice To all who came to buy And that the bill was less than nil And likewise twice as high. That womankind was quite resigned To one cheap dress a year ': And that the moon came up at noon And wigwagged with Its ear. I hold tht dream in high esteem. Still be it understood I only dreamed I dreamed that dream. But that Is quite as good. For It's the klnd l have in mind Stored underneath my hat Should ever I feel called upon To dream a dream like that. Without a Guide.

Most of us lay our conscience aside when the assessor calls and then go away and forget where we put it" Stranger Than Fiction. A woman has Just died in New York at the modest age of 105 who has lived for many years on a diet of bread and milk. One by one are our pet superstitions shattered until we rather expect it, but this is a case that is almost beyond believing. Our regulation woman who lives to the age of 105 or even 117 has put In the larger part of her last half century In paying attention to a clay pipe and the kind of tobacco they grow in the hills. Sometimes, too, she has been in the habit of taking an occasional nip at something from a bottle, but this, however, Is not necessary. In the case of a man we sort of expect it, though. If many more cases of this kind show up it will shatter the notion that the good die young and incidentally will deprive our prospective centenarians of lots of fun. Locating Them.
