The introduction included a hieu tribute to Stonewall Jackson's generalship. Said tho old Union soldier: "Friend nnd Fellow Citizens-Allow me to introduce General James Shields, a citizen of two couutrles. a hero of two wars, general in two armies, a senator from two states and the man who enme nearer whipping Stonewnll Jackson than any other man ever did." and here, looking nround nnd seeing no ladles in the audience, he added, "but didn't do it by a d d sight I" 8t.

'A well known ventriloquist was invited to give a performance at n big Institution in connection with some charity, and lie hen til that steps were lclng taken to insure for hint n large yet critical audience, who would 1k close enough to watch his every movement. The ulght camo, the attendants carried on three "Iny" figures on chairs, and the ventriloquist received great ovation from those nsaombled. Ill performance was unusually brilliant, nnd notwithstanding tho quips and songs which he went through his muscle showed no evidences of his rt. Tho change of rlce wcro marvelous, and the astonished crowd at the close of the exhibition gave him rousing cheer. Again and again they called htm back, whllo he expressed hi ileasure by innumerable lws. At last the cheering ceased and the artist wn permitted to retire. Hardly had be done ho when the three "lay" figure got up from their chairs and walked off the stage. The ventrilo- , iulst had employed three friends to Impersonate hi usual mechanical figure, and he had tricked every one of hi audience.

The Scrap Book

A New Brand. A group of normal school girls from an Interior New York town were together at a fashionable restaurant In Albany, bent upon a lark, which they agreed could best bo attained by ordering some real drinks, like the men. The waiter, on being directed to bring "somo drinks" all around, asked. "What kind?" The leader replied with firmness, "Cocktails." "Yes, miss," said the waiter, "what kind of cocktails?" This threw the girls into confusion until one of them saved the situation by suddenly exclaiming, "Oh, lager'." In Doubt. An exceedingly pompous and supercilious old chap engaged rooms at a hotel, where he made himself pretty obnoxious by his petty faultfinding among the employees. One day be "ABE TOP THE PBOPKirBOK?" haughtily approached the clerk's desk iiud announced that he wanted to lodge a complaint. "A complaint," said the clerk. "Well, I puess you'll have to see the boss about that. That's him there." The pompous one turned to the boss.S who stood at his e'.bow smoking a cigar. "Are you the proprietor of this hotel?" he began. The propr'etor tock h's cigar from his mouth, looked the old chap up and down and drawled: "Well, I thought ' I was till you came."

AN EX-ABBOT WEDSlBLOW FOR MEXICANS

Resigns from Order to Marry Tis Said. J Portland, Ore.. March 24. A formal statement issued by Rev. Gregory Roble, pastor of the Sacred Heart, the leading Benedistine church in this city has disclosed the fact that former Bishop Thomas Meinenhofer, who until a year ago was abbot of the Benedictine monastery at Mt. Angel, this state, eloped with Mrs. Bella Gerlinger Dalton, a wealthy divorced woman of this city, at whose home he had lived for a month after his resignation from the order a year ago. In his statement Father Aoble says that the abbot was the victim of a mental delusion and had suffered for years from an affection of the brain, the result of a sunstroke in youth. This affected his sight and loss of sight intensified his mental trouble sayg his former friend in the Benedictine order. Abbot Meinenhofer, the head of the Benedictines at Mt. Angel, was regarded as one of the most powerful prelates on the Pacific coast, and was closely associated with Archbishop Christi, who made him a bishop and abbot in 1903. Mrs. Dalton is a woman wealthy in her own right. She comes from Brooklyn, X. Y. Her former husband is president of the Salem and Falls City railway and a millionaire lumber man. Mrs. Dalton was a woman of great mental charm and accomplishments. In December last it is reported that Mrs. Dalton received a large sum of money from her father who lived in Brooklyn. The couple are believed to be in Xew York. The former head of the Benedictine order, it is thought, is probably in some hospital in the metropolis being treated for his sight.

DOyS I Chicago. March 24. A relief expedition to aid the Mexican insurgent cause, accoutred and munitioned for dark and bloody conflict, with full equipment olTreal revolvers and ether things, came to grief when the outgoing train stopped at the first flag station out of Chicago. The Lafayettes or Kosciuskos whichever one will were taken from the train by their parents and the insurgents will have to get along as best they can alone. The patriots who sought to cleave their way with gory steel through tyrant armies to the sunlit heights of liberty were Clark Hutchins, 13 years old. and Frank Peters and Elmer Hayes, each 14 years old. Each had his father's revolver and 40 rouuds of ball cartridges, campaign clothing, toilet articles, other "field equipment," a determination to do or die (that is, when they started, and a war fund. This last-named consisted of 94 cents. Their parents, not alive to the high sentiments that make martyrs for liberty, called in the aid of mere policemen, and at Riverdale the rescuing army was taken from the train and sent back home with the honors of war, retaining artillery, equipment, &c. but with the war fund depleted to the extent of three tickets to Chicago. Lovers of fresh oysters can still get them at Price's, both can and bulk. PURE GLYCERIN. It la a Queer Substance Endowed With Peculiar Properties. One of the great advantages of glyc- ! erin in its chemical employment is the fact that it neither freezes nor evaporates uuder any ordinary temperaj ture. No perceptible loss by evaporaI tion has been detected at a tempera- ! ture less than 200 degrees F., but if heated intensely it decomposes with a smell that few persons find themselves able to endure. It burns with a pale j flame, similar to that from alcohol, if heated to about 300 degrees and then I ignited. Its nonevaporative qualities 1 make the compound of much use as a vehicle f- holding pigments and colors, as in stamping and typewriter ribbons, carbon papers and the like. I If the pure glycerin be exposed for a j long time to a fr?czing temperature il j crystallizes with the appearance of j sugar candy, but these crystals being once melted it is almost an imposslj bility to get them again into the con gealed state. If a little water be added to the glycerin no crystallization will take place, though under a sufficient de.Tree of cold the water will separate and form crystals, amid which the glycerin will remain In its natural state of fluidity. If suddenly subjected to intense cold pure glycerin will form n grummy mass which cannot be entirely hardened or crystallized. Altogether it is quite a peculiar substance. 9 9th & Main.
