General Ulysses S. Grant.

BORN 27TH APRIL, 1922. DIED 23D JULY, 's5.
An Iron Soldier! When red War mfurled
Ger all the myriad leagues Of the New World
Its dCSOating banner when fierce hate
And brother-sundering leud first shook the
State,
TWO noble names shoue chiefly, Lee and
Grant
These twain, titaniCally militant.
Shocked like conflicting avalanches. Now
Peace, brooding oer The land with placid
brow.
Sees the great fighters fallen. He at last
The calm, tenacious man,whO seemed TO cast
Defiant looks at Death, the StOlc stern,
Whom lOng-drawn anguish couldnO bend or
turn,
Lies prone lat peace after such stress of grief
As must have found the summons glad relief.
An Iron Soldier! If. as tOemen say,
Mixed with true metal much OF earthly clay
Marred the heroic in him OF full state,
His land will not record him less than great,
Who in her hour OF need stood firm, and
stayed
The tide of dissolution. Unafraid
The peoples heart. the patriot muse, may
vaunt
The golden service of ULYSSES GRANT.

Ths Coal Trade.

Ths Coal Trade
Mondays Philadelphia Ledger: The
anthracite coal trade, which has been
for some weeks in an almost stagnant
condition, seems to grow even even
more depressed as the season advances.
There is very light demand for coal,
excepting in cases of almost absolute
necessity, and the stocks of anthracite
at tidewater and other stocking points
and on cars and vessels continue to ac-
cumulate. Veteran operators complain
of the almost unprecedented dullness of
the special Goals, and that even the best
qualities and most fayorite brands,
which are usually in greater demand
than supply, find difficulty in obtaining
ready market. Vessels at Port Rich
mond, with orders for coal for shipment
eastward, are reported to be in plentiful
supply, but the captains complain of
their inabity to make despatch owing to
the alleged scarcity of coal Why coal
should be so hard to obtain there we
cannot conceive, but we do know that
the condition OF affairs at Port Rich
mond is quite a puzzle to many in the
coal trade,

GLORY OF A MEXICAN GRANDEE.
One of the Most Summing Sights to be Seen
In the Country.

One of tie Most Summing Sights to be Seen
In the Country
Mexican Letter in the Chicago Inter-ocean.
A Mexican grandee in equestrian costume
is the most stunning sight to be seen in the
entire country. He often, including his
saddle, wears a thousand dollars worth OF
clothes and things. From the crown of his
head TO the soles of his feet he is thing to
be admired and wondered at. Beginning at
the top, his sombrero costs anywhere from
$50 TO $3.50. No thoroughbred gentleman
ever wears one worth less than S35, and even
the man who blacks your boots has as much
aud sometimes more than that invested in
his hat. A friend of mine, who was away
all summer. paid his footman, or 'portero"
$40 back wages on his return. The fellow
spent S35 for a sombrero and gave the bal
ance TO his family.
''Thru the equestrian has handsomely
embroidered velvet or cashmere jacket, a
pale-pink sash, a silver-mounted revolver in
silver mounted belt, a sword that is worth
$50 or S75, solid silver buttons, sometimes
in double rows, with loops or chains down
the seams of his trousers, which are often OF
leather. Then his silver spurs and patent
leather boots sit gracefully upon q silver
plated strrup, which is attached to q saddle
that may be worth anywhere from $50 to
$500.
Suits for boys ten and twelve years of age,
with a full outfit, from sombrero TO sword,
can be purchased and are often seen on
drsty youngsters riding out with their papas

KEEPING THEIR COSTUMES SECRET.

factors and actresses are nightly dis
tressed when they appear In new role, "
said dramatic manager of experience,
''lest some other actor or actress should man
age to see or get description of their cos
tune, and either reproduce it first or else
make it a subject of gossip in professional
circles, II isn't easy to understand their
feelings when a costly costume has been
bought to find someone else reproducing it
on the stage. The dress of the actor and
actress is part of their capital. It's not
thought to be stealing in the profession, how
eyer, if an actress can get the best of their
sister actress by appropriating her ideas. The
argument used is that If one can not
guard her professional secrets, then
she had better not go into the
business. The stories of the pains that
actresses have taken to learn what a popular
rival intends to wear would I'LL book. To
De outwitted in this way is disgrace, and
nowadays it is rarely done. Indeed, it is
not so attractive an amusement as 1t used to
be, for In first class theaters actors haven't
word to say about what they shall wear. The
manager dictates every garment to be worn,
both il design aud color. The reason is that
the picturesque effects of stage grouping are
closely studied, and an effort is made To pre-
sent at every new situation new picture to
the eye-a picture that might be model in
every way for painting. In the matter OF
| color the tone is carefully studied. and all the
tints in walls, carpets. furniture and dress
are selected according to the laws of harmony
or of contrast
In ministerial or variety performances,
however, such nicety can not be of use, and
performers select whatever they please for
costume. Where they get their clothing
made is mystery. II by accident you
shoulu learn the address, and should ask the
milliner, or dressmaker, or tailor, or
! shoemaker for whom the bon
net, or dress or suit, or
shoes are being made, you would be met by
the polite and firm reply that the gentleman
or lady who left the order requested that 1t
should be kept secret. At dress rehearsal,
when performers are required to appear as
they propose to perform on first nights, the
actress will often appear in street costume,
and put in excuses, sometimes plausible,
often absurd to account for the omission.
Some popular singers and actresses know.
whose dresses are admired, have resorted to
learning the knack of dressmaking, so that
they may be sure that their secret is safe. 10
their friends they say that those dressmakers
are so unreliable that they, the actresses,
were driven to making their own costumes
They have been held to be weak and foolish
for being Jealous of each other" added the
manager, shut it seems to me that If they
are, they are to be excused by the public"
