A GOOD MEMORY.

Had the Clerk, and These Cousins Were Refused a License. Joliet (111.) Cor. Chicago Record: March 14 last County Clerk Hutchinson received a letter from Mrs. Elsie M. Richey, of Galion, Ohio, stating that she expected that her daughter Elsie and the daughter's first cousin, William Richey, would apply for a marriage license in Joliet. She wished the clerk to refuse to issue a license. The clerk kept the letter for future reference. The other day the cousins applied for a license. When Richey first asked for a license the clerk thought he remembered the name, and then he got the old letter. Holding this in his hand the clerk asked Richey: "Are you related?' "No, sir," was the answer. "Js there any reason why you should not be married according to the laws of Illinois?" Again the same answer. "Will you swear that your father and Miss Richey's were not brothers?"' Richey was silent. He knew that first cousins may not marry In Illinois and fled with his cousin. Across the face of the application is written in red ink: "License not issued." The young couple went to Chicago. Locomotive Kuns. During the past few month?, tho Baltimore and Ohio railroad has materially extended the runs of the passenger locomotives on through trains. Formerly engines were changed on an average every 100 or 1"0 miles. It was thought that the mountain grades, of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad would prevent an extension of tho run.--. However, the experiment was made. It has proved successful and reduced the number of locomotives formerly required by iwenty-four. which car. be used in other branches of the service and save the purchase of more motive power. Under the new plan, locomotives are double crewed and make from 7.000 to S.000 miles a month, as against S.ö'.'O to 4,000 under the former method. lie Was Vat riot ic.

TAHVIN OF KENTUCKY AS A PUBLIC ORATOR. II Is Heins; Put Forward for the Vice l'rfrhldpricj- by II U Adherents A I)eftrrndaut of an Old Kevolutionary 1'aiuilr. Judge J. P. Tarvin. of the Kenton ! Circuit Court, Covington, Ky is a ! man who has figured very prominently j of late in public affairs and whose name has been so frequently mentioned within recent months in connection with the Democratic vice presidential nomination, in the now seemingly certain event of Mr. Bryan's re-nomination. The story of Judge Tarvin's career, while in nowise startling, is noteworthy as the plain tale of one who has attained a large prominence and a host of loyal and earnest friends throughout the nation, chiefly by means of his own nativabilities and personal qualities. He was born in Covington, Ky., November 13, 1SC0, and ccir.es of distinguished parentage, his father being W. II. Tarvin, his mother Eliza Pryor. He is the grandson cf James Pryor. circuit judge for twenty years and cousin of Wm. S. JUDGE J. P. TARVIN. Fryor. judge of Kentucky Court of Appeals for twenty-five consecutive years. Judge Tarvin was educated in the public schools of his native towu, has lived there always, has always been a Democrat, and has been chairman of his county committee several years. He has practiced law since 1S92. In 1896 he was Democratic candidate for elector at large in his state and was defeated by 173 votes out of a total of 000,000 cast. It was in this race, when he stumped the state for Bryan, vhat his oratorical powers were first brought prominently before the public. He was nominated for circuit judge in the Sixth Kentucky district in '97, receiving two-thirds of the votes in the primary, and was elected by over 1,900 majority at the regular election. He has always been a silver advocate, and stumped the state in advocacy of the white metal in 1S93. 1S9G and 1S9S. He was one cf the foremost figures in the organization of the League of Bimetallic Clubs of the Ohio Valley, in Cincinnati in 1597, and in 1898 was :r.ce its president, a place to which he was re-elected for a teim of two years, at the recent Louisville convention of the organization. Judge Tarvin has quickly won a national reputation as an orator, his speech at the dollar banquet in New York and at the Auditorium in Chicago, where he spoke in behalf of the "obscure people," being perhaps his most notable triumphs of oratory. MADE HIM A PRINCE. Emperor William of Germany has conferred upon Count von MunsterLedenburg the title of prince in recognition of his services as head of the German delegation to the peace conference at The Hague. Count von Mun-ster-Ledenburg. or Count Munster, as he is popularly known, is close on eighty years c!d and has been for many years in the diplomatic service. He was for some time German ambassador to England and was then transferred to Paris, where he now is. When he was transferred to Paris he became a favorite in society, and was noted for giving sumptuous dinners and elegant entertainments, at which he was always ably a.sisted by his daughter, Countess Marie von Munster, a maiden of fifty, who for a quarter of a century has been his dutiful companion. She is a woman of spirit, and when an attempt was made to connecther with the Dreyfus scandal, some time ago, she COUNT VON MUNSTER, made such a vigorous protest that an ample apology was made to her and her venerable father. GUIDE POSTS OF A BLIND MAN His f eet ami None l'ilot II Im Through th Streets r a City. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat: There is a blind man living in the heart of the old quarter who walks nearly every day to a little restaurant near Canal street. The distance each way is from s-ixtern to twenty blocks, according to the route, and to see him sauntering carelessly along one would never suspect his infirmity. Talking with an inquisitive reporter, he declaied that he saw his nose and feet, nml this was the way he explained it: "When a man has r.o sight," be said, "the smells of the street are all mixed up. but when he's blind he leani3 to separate them. The smells of the shops are almost as plain to me now as the signs used to be over the doors. Some of them you would hardly suppose to exist. Take a dry goods store, for instance; it smells of cloth, and cloth has a very peculiar odor. Iron and tin have smells of their own. and I can tell a hardware store Immediate13'. I pass two book stalls nearly ev

'A

ery day, 'ind I scent them yards off by the old books. Then there are u great many indescribable odors by which I know this place and that. Of course, my feet are my principal guide, and I've been over the same ground so often that I have learned every little inequality by heart, but I couldn't get along with either nose or feet alone. They work together, and where one fails the other helps out. Between them they make very good eyes. The secret of my stepping out is this: I've learned how to step. People who can see hurl themselves forward like locomotires. That's why the shock is always so unexpectedly violent when you collide with another person. I put no extra power whatever in my movements, and if the toe of my boot touches some unknown obstacle I stop stock still instantly." This clever blind man leads a very tranquil life. He has a small income.and lives with a granddaughter. A servant is hired especially to read to him every afternoon. Many of them who know him are unavare of his blindness.

HE GOT A FRESH CROP OF HAIR Terror at the Danger of 1IU Son Caused a Man's Hair to Change Color. Everyone has heard stories of men and women becoming gray-haired in a night as the result of grief or terror. Many of these tales are doubtless the mere imaginings of the writers of sketches, but that such phenomena are of occasional occurrence has been fully demonstrated. A Chicago physician relates this instance in a medical journal and vouches for its truth: The subject was a laboring man in the stockyards district, aged CS, who was not cf a nervous temperament beyond being slightly emotional. His hair was abundant and of a dark chestnut color. One evening as he was returning home preceded by his horse, on which was mounted his son, aged S, the animal slipped and the child was thrown off and trampled on several times. He was only severely bruised, but the father thought he was killed, and in trying to save him was terror-stricken. He trembled and had palpitations and a feeling of cold and tension in the face and head. Next day the hairs of the head, beard and eyebrows began to fall in quantities, so that after eight days he was absolutely bald. At the same time the skin of the head and face became paler. Without delay the hairs began to grow again in the form of a colorless down. Soon all .he affected regions were covered with Unar, more silky and a little more thinly sown, completely white hair. Chicago Chronicle. ROTHSCHILDS DAUGHTER. England's richest young heiress. Miss Evelina Rothschilds, daughter of Lord Rothschilds, has recently become engaged in marriage to Lieutenant Clive EVELINA ROTHSCHILDS. Behrens, of the Royal Horse artillery. Lieutenant Behrens is the son of one of the' wealthiest merchants of Manchester, but he wears no title. Like his bride-elect, he is of German-Hebrew origin and comes of good stock. His branch of the family has insisted on retaining the Jewish faith as well as the original spelling of the family name; whereas Mr. Alexander Berens, on marrying into the aristocracy of England, changed both. Mr. Alexander Berens is the father of Lady Ross, whose divorce case was the sensation of the London season two years ago. Lord Rothschilds has only three children, two sons and this daughter. Her fortune under the circumstances will be one of colossal proportions. Lieutenant Behrens will now probably enter the banking business and give up military life altogether. Game of Chen. In 1S9G Mohammed Balba usurped the crown of Grenada, in spite of the superior claims of his elder brother Jussef. He was very unsuccessful in his conduct of the war against the Christians and was at length assassinated by poison absorbed through the skin from a shirt. IIa entertained a desperate dis'.ike to the brother whom he had injured, and when he knew that his own fate was sealed he sent an order to the governor of the prison in j which Jussef was confined that he should be executed immediately. When the order arrived Jussef was playins chess with the chaplain of the prison. With great difficulty Jussef obtained a j respite from the governor permitting I him to finish the game. Before it wa.3 ended, however, news came that the I usurper had died of the poison. This j canceled the order of execution and Jussef, instead of going to the scaffold, mounted the throne. 'Wanted t'it iretmlilp. County Judge Hurd of Kings countv, New York, who is just now devoting . part of his time to the work of converting aliens into citizens of the United States, had a trying time of it yes- J terdty in the Brooklyn court house with a number of applicants lor citi- j zenship. Biejio Scavali, a Coney Is- ' land Italian, presented a fair sample of the degree of intelligence Judge Hurd had to contend with. "What is the name of this country?'' asked he co-ut. "Ma-keen-lee," re'diod Biejio. promptly. "Who makes the laws?" "Ma-keen-lee !" returned Biejio, confidently. "What state de yoil live in?" "Ma-keen-lee." "You seem to be impressed with the belief that McKinley is the whole thing over here," remarked the court. "Biejio, I gue3s you won't do."

NATION'S GREETING TO DEWEY Features of the Reception to the Manila. Hero at Washington. The central Idea underlying the grand welcome to be given Admiral Dewey in Washington the first week in October is its national character. His arrival at the capital will mark his real home-coming to the American people, where the officials of the government will participate, and the magnificently jeweled sword voted by congress will be presented. To that end all the arrangements will be of a simple but most dignified character. The welcome to the hero of Manila at the national capital will probably occur on Monday, October 2, although the date will depend upon the length of the celebration in New York, which is still un-

SWORD VOTED BY CONGRESS TO DEWEY. settled. The principal features of the reception in Washington, as planned by the citizens, with the co-operaticm of the president and cabinet, will be two in number the presentation of the sword voted by congress and a night parade. A public reception at the white house will be followed by dinner to the admiral by President McKinley. The eword will be presented by Secretary Long, at the east front of the capitol, in the presence of Mr. McKinley and all the members of the cabinet, late in the afternoon, while the parade, consisting of organizations of all kinds, will be accompanied by an illumination of the city on a scale of beauty never before witnessed in Washington. The different features of the preparations are in the hands of a central body of citizens and eleven committees, embracing in all over a thousand people. Preparations for the celebration have been in hand for over a month. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad and other railroads entering Waohington have agreed upon cheap rates for the celebration, and the committee expects that there will be an outpouring of patriotic citizens almost equal to the inauguration of a president. Het rayed hy Hin Parrot. Victor Chevalier, a clever criminal in Paris, was run down in a shrewd way. He was known to be exceedingly fond of a pet parrot, and the police were instructed to look for a loquacious bird of this kind. After a week's sea vch the talkative parrot was discovered in the Montmartre district. The police kept a close watch on the house, and in time the criminal appeared to have an affectionate chat with his bird. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. Every woman is a good actress till she goes on the stage. There is one thing a woman never can understand, and that is herself. When the devil had his choice as to instruments he first picked jealousy. If they were named anything else a woman would have just as queer a look in her face when she talked about her legs. If there weren't any bad men to be horrible examples, probably there wouldn't be any good women to bo shining examples. Every racy story a man hears he acts like it was old to him and every woman like it was new to her, and both are making believe. When a man can make a woman believe that he can't help thrilling at hn.r voice she feels she has to marry him so that she can turn the current on whenever she feels like it. The difference between a woman and a cat is that when you tease the cat you know she'll scratch you, but when it's a woman you never know whether she'll kiss you or tear your eyes out.

JUSTICE IN CHINA. A Siory of I.i Hung: Chang and Wooldlle I'risoners. Of Li Hung Chang numberless storios are to'd in Chinese society. Now and then one reaches this country through our consuls in China. On one occasion whn the premier was having a bittnr fight with some of the more ojiservative members of the tsung-Ii-

j yamra he received as a present a magI nif:ri.t cak which he hud reason to I suspect contained poison. He put the j iahe ii;;do and set all his powerful machinery to work to nml out v.-no was at the bottom of the plot. The investigation was partly successful, the? crime being traced to three men, of whom one. at least, was absolutely guilty. Li had the trio aiYeted and brought to hisyamen. When Uwy arrived they were ushered into his presence and were received in his courtliest manner. The cake was produced, with the remark that "politeness forbade his tasting it until the three generous donors had had an opportunity to enjoy its excellence."' Li cut the cako and one of his servitors handed it to the unwilling guests. Each took a piece and ate, or pretended to eat it. One crumbled the pieces and let them fall upon tho floor, but the other two ate calmly, without manifesting any emotion. Ten minuutes and the two men began to show symptoms of suffering. Li smiled benignantly and said to the man who had not eaten: "Ycur wi.-dom is so great that I am compelled to preserve your head as a souvenir to transcendent genius.' The man v." as removed and promptly decapitated. To the other two the premier remarked: "The cake that you are eating is not the or.o you s?nt me, but one which I had my cook imitate. The poison from which you are suffering exists only in your imagination. I know of no way to cure jour present pain except by letting you share the same fate as your fiiend who has just left the room." As they were led away the statesman said to his retinue: "It is a pity that a man who can eat a deadly corrosive poison with an urmcved countenance should so misapply the talent wherewith heaven has endowed him." A CHINAMAN'S OATH. The Celest al AVa- Particular and Caused the Court Lots of Trouble. The various forms of oath-making, even in this country, are of considerable interest. It would not, however, be easy to find an instance in which anything like so queer a medium of attestation was employed as a guillotined black cockatoo. But no less an extraordinary medium than that was what the police of a country district In New South Wales had to provide the ether day for a finical Chinaman, who declined to swear on anything else. Headless fowls were brought, but in vain, and as the matter was important, even a black swan, a luxury surely for a Chinese witness, was suggested, only to be immediately refused. After soma time had elapsed, and when the representatives of the lawseemed quite at their wits' end, a dead cockatoo of the required hue was strangely discovered in a hut of one of the ether celestials, who mulcted the anxious officials in $2.50 for the bird. Then the solc-mn and peculiar cath was duly administered, on which the difficult witness with a bland and childlike expression, declared he knew nothing about the case and sat down smiling! Inited States Pension Kotl. On June 30, 1SÖS. the i;ension 10II3 cf the United States contained 993.714 names. Forty-three thousand vere dropped during the tUcal year 31,345 I because of death and S.Stl because of j remarriage. On the other hand, 40,991 j new claims were allowed, so that the number of pensions stood on June 3D last at 59 1.519. The decrease in expenditure during the year was mucn more marked, the total falling from $144.G51,0C0 in 1897-GS to SISSÄ.OOO in 1SÜS-&9. This last is the smallest sum disbursed since the new conditions created by the dependent act have had to be faced, and reasonable assurance of a further natural shrinkage In the annual expenditures is to be found in the fact that $3.000,000 less were pall out last year than three years ago, when the list of ptn?ioners was fully 21,000 shorter than it is today. How slight an addition to pension burden3 i the war with Spain will make may be j guessed from the statement that, al- j though 1C.9SG claims have been filed for disabilities incurred in that brief contest, only 295 have .so far been passed on favorably. Altogether, the outlook for a diminished pension account has greatly improved. Speetac:d .Animal. Dirda are furnished with a peculiar membrane, which in a state of repose lies in the inner angle of the eye, but is movable by two distinct muscles, which draw it over the cornea. It Is, to a certain extent, transparent, for, according to Cuvier. birds can look through it, as the eagle docs when , looking at the sun. . This membrane forms a pair of spectacles, or, at least, answers the same purpose. This membrane is called the third eyelid. One of the most comical and grotesque animals is the "spectacled bear" (Ursus . ornatus), which derives its chief at- ; traction from the light-colored rins around its eyes. These the greater part of the face being. like the body, black have exactly the appearance of a p.'-ir of common "goggles." through : which the beast seems to look with aa ' air of mingled wisdom and imbecility. The spectacled bear is only found ii the mountainous regions of Chill, South America. Mr, tilaalstone. Mrs. Gladstone, widow of the grand old man, is a woman of wonderful strength and endurance.
