GRANTS OLD LEATHER SToRE.-The
store is situated on Main street, running
back to Commerce street, it Is four-story
building, the front of Milwaukee brick, and
now occupied as q jewelry establishment
by j. Coatsworth 6 Son. Mr.. Coataworth
built it and an adjoining store in 1851, after
the great fire, (for Galens had great fire
once) and he still ownsi 1t. Jesse r. Grant,
father of the General occupied it as leather
store from 1858 to 1860. and during the
winter OF 185a-60, Ulysses clerked there.
It spoils story, and may seem iconoclastio,
but the truth is that Ulysses 8. Grant has
no title whatever to the name of ssthe
Galena tanner.n There ia not now and
never was q tannery in Galena. Jesse r.
Grant dealt In hides and leather, and had
currying establishment in the rear of the
Main street store. The General may nave
worked at cnrrying leather, though the
burden OF proofo on this pelntrests with the
affirmants, for the testimony obtainable all
goes TO show that be simply clerked in his
fathers store. Anyhow. he had no more
to do with tanning than Chicago elevator

How the Gear Nicholas Suppressed Play.
From the Pall Mall Gazette, Nov.

g From the Pall Mall Gazette, Nov. 1.
A characteristic anecdote of the Emperor
Nicholas is contained in the memories of
the late Privy Councillor Boguslavski, ex-
tracts from which have just been published
by the Susskaya Staryna, montaiy maga-
zine of st. Petersburg. Hearing that a
play entitled " Catherine ii. and Her Fa-
.vorites,'' had just been brought out in
Paris, which represented the Empress in
the bIackest celors, Nicholas at ence sent
special courier to Count Pahlen. the Russian
Ambassador at the French Court, with the
following letter: /" On receipt of this go
at once, whatever may be the hour, to the
King of the French and announce to him
my will that all the printed copies of the
play of Catherine IL be Immediately con-
fiscated, and that its performance be for
hidden In all the Paris theaters. IF the
King declines to do this, ask for your pass
ports and leave Paris within twenty-four
hours. answer for the consequences" 7"
When the courier arrived, Count Pahlen
was dining with King Louis Philippe, and,
acting ON his masters orders, the courier
sent to inform the Count that he ha6 ar
rived with pressing message from the
Czar. The Count read the dispatch, and
then, hurrying back TO the royal table, beg
eed the King to give him few minutes
audience. Louis Philippe, much astanish-
cd, went with the Ambassador into an ad-
joining room, where Count Fshlea handed
him the dispatch. But, z observed the
King, after reading il, " though your EN-
peror's will may be an order TO yeu, it is

Sudden Deaths.

This sudden and APPALLING event recalls
the fact that such has often been the fate
of genius. Chandler's death, indeed, was
precisely like that of the famous preacher,
Chalmers. The latter, who was nearly Of
the same age, retired to rest in his US al
health and bade his friends a cheerful
good night, which they little imagined
would be his last. In the morning, how
ever, he was found dead IN his bed.
Among other instances Of sudden deaths
may be mentioned that of Thomas Adds
Emmet, formerly SO distinguished a member
of the New York bar. He fell to the floor
in the midst of an argument in the Su-
preme Court, and before ten hours had
elapsed he was corpse. Robert Goodloe
Harper died in . similar manner, having
been smitten by apoplexy daring an argu-
ment. John A. King, formerly Governor
of New York, died suddenly after having
delivered public address 1t th is APP
pears that the excitement inseparable from
such efforts is dangerous to those who APP

Speaking of public men am also re-
minded that Dewitt CliptoR died very sud-
denly in Albany, being at that time Gov
ernor of New York. His age was fifty
nine, only two years mere than that of our
lamented Chandler. ex-governor William
L. Marcy, who wa the Premier of Pierce's
Cabinet, also died very suddenly. He was
sitting on the piazza Of the Sans Souci
Hetel &C Ballston Spa and was reading
Purchas' Pilgrimage when the last sum-
mons came. deolgo w. Dixon, United
States Senator from Georgia, died in sim
liar manner while on a visit to this city.
Mayor Havemeyer also was removed by
sudden death. Dean Richmond the for
mer magnate of the New York Central.
may also be mentioned in the same con-
nsction. He left home in usual health, but
returned in his coffin, having reached the
end of his course while In this city. Re-
corder Morris also died very suddenly. He
made the remark to friend that he had
to try q murderer" but before the case
was reached he was . corpse. Washing

lust as he was about to retire. Henry ].
Raymond died at midnight in the front
hall of his own shoase. He had been in

The Noon Of Mars Seen Again.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The ruddy planet Mars. now seen at his
brig ltest, is now under close telescope
many years escaped telescope detection,
have to be newly timed and rated. The
astronomers at Washington hoped to re-
discover these minute bodies about the
middle of October, but Nj. Common, of
London, caught sight of them as early as
October 81. when Mars was far from being
at it's brightest. He used telescope Of
the rejecting sort, having mirror three
feet in diameter, and regarded by some, de-
spite its inferiority to the Rosse telescope
in size, as the most powerful telescope in
existence. The inner satellite has not been
rediscovered. Phobos, for 50 the little
moon is called, wa about three quarters
an hour before It's computed time, Judging
by the rating of 1877. OF course, astrono-
mers infer, as it is easier to suppose, that
the Washington a astronomers calculated a
period of revolution few seconds too
long, not that the little moon has really
been accelerated in it's motions. The error
in the calculated period wherein the moon
circuits around the planet Mars amounts TO
only few seconds, though, of course, in
several hundred revolutions corresponding
ly multiplied has introduced q much larger
error, for precisely the same reason that q
clock which lost second in a dag would
be more than an hour behind tha true time
in ten years. 1t was, indeed. expected by
many that the inner satellite would be
much more seriously out Of place, especial
ly when il was looked for in vain with the
most powerful telescopes after the outes
satellite, Dennos, had been found. 1t is
amusing. by the way, to notice how readily

request that he would talk about his home

every time cutting off some of Galena's
territory, until its population has been re-
duced from $4,000 to 6,C00 inhabitants, and
from fast mining town to slow town

How A RICH MAN Cor HIS WILL
CHEAPLY.-A millionaire who lived in the
vicinity of this city, as he felt his lass days
drawing nigh, summoned distinguished
neighbor and lawyer, who since has occu-
pied one Of the highest positions in the gift
of representatives of the people, to prepare
a last will and testament. When the will
was made the man said 81 propose to
make you my executor, and I shall require
no bond from you. Write that, ALSO"
The ex-judge complied, after thanking his
client, and promised to execute the will to
the best of his ability. g What is your bill
for drawing up my will9" asked the mil
lionaire. "Oh, under the circumstances,
of course shall charge you nothing" was
the answer. "But," said the other, "that
is not my way of doing business. Make
out and receipt bill for your services, and
/ will pay you now." Well, since you
insist. will make out a bill for nominal
sum-say $25." And this member, who
seldom draws breath without charging some
one for the respiration, made out and re-
ceipJed for $25 bill which under ordinary
circumstances would have been $500. The
good man died and was buried. When the
will was read it was found that the name of
his son had been inserted in place of that of
the distinguished lawyer. The ruling pas
sion was strong in death. The man who
knew how TO accumulate wealth understood
the value of tightly-drawn will, and the
difference between S25 and $500. He had
merely copied the words ia the order they
were written by his legal friend, and thus
had obtained an irrefragable viii at small
cost, and an executor of his own choosing.

1t is reported that Senator Davis of
West Virginia, will introduce into the
next Congress "a bill cancelling the loan
made by the United States to the several
States in 1897" which amounted to the
snug sum of $2S, 1O4,644 81. Of this
amount, nearly one-half was distributed
to the Southern States-and perhaps the
fact that they have only about one,quar-
ter of the population of the country and
one-eighth of the wealth accounts for
their willingness to "cancel the debt. "The
reason which Senator Davis is repre-
s2nted as urging for this extraordinary
cancellation is that keeping account Of
the debt is "a useless embarrassment to
the Treasury Department. The trihing
circumstance that Illinois, which has
property amounting to $2,121, $50, $40,
got only $477,91 Of the money, while
Virginia which has only $409, ,588, 1873
worth Of property, got $2,l9S, S,427 of the
money-that is, that Virginia got about
twenty-five times as much az Illinois
in proportion to her wealth-may po, ST.
bly, interfere with this philanthropic
scheme Of Senator Davis.
