EVER since Ohio was admitted into
the Union in 1902 the State and county
elections have been held the second
Tuesday of October. But Ohio is no
longer an October State" The Official
vote on the constitutional amendments
at the election held Oct. - has been
canvassed. They were all declared
carried by half million votes by
proclamation issued subsequently by
the Governor. The effect will be to
change the time of holding the Ohio
State elections from October to Novem-
Der. The cause of this change was the
corrupt use of money at the last two
Presidential elections, which so dis
graced the State, demoralized the
ward-workers, ana Disguised the peo-
pie that they demanded that Ohio
should be taken out of the category of
October States"

HOWARD PAUL, who has been travel

waiter is an oddity. To one of those
walters he propounded the question,
~Do you have a table d'hote here?"
The waters answer was, "Well, no J"

you order it!"-which reminds Mr..

Michigan Congressman on the Silver Prob
lem.

Senator Palmer, of Michigan, who went
to Chicago to attend the Fat Stock Show,
said to Tribune interviewer that he
should favor the suspension Of the silver
coinage in the coming session Of Congress.
He believed the silver dollar should con-
tain 100 cents worth of silver, and not
eighty-fve. AS to the legislation subse-
quent to the suspension of the coinage, he
said he had made up his mind as to what
he should favor. He did not believe under
any recommendation that the President
might make in his annual message that the
silver question would become a party issue.
The Senator's views were nearly identi-
cal with those of the Democrat who repre-
sents Detroit in the lower house-Con-
gresham Maybury. The latter said, in an
interview, he was opposed to the continued
coinage Of the dollar as it is, and, while
not a single standard man, he nevertheless
believed that they should be nearer to-
gether than at present. AS to the views of
the remainder of the Michigan delegation
on the silver question, Mr.. Maybury said
he had talked with none of the members
about it, but was inclined to the opinion
that quite number agreed with him.

The Marseilles Executor.

story that used to be told of the
advice of Charles O'Conor, the dis
tinguished American lawyer, to the
heir of an estate, is thus paraphrased by
French newspaper:
A Marseilles merchant. who started
in business with $1,000 and became a
millionaire, left his property to a
friend, with the condition that he
should be buried with the sum OF
$4,000 placed in his coffin. The execu-
tor bewailed the reckless waste of
money, and was at his wits end to
know how to defeat the whimsical
claims in the will. At length a happy
thought came. II will put check, I"
he said, "into the coffin for $1,000. Ii
will be duly honored when he pre-

starved army at Chattanooga, and the
battle of Mission Ridge. and defeat of
the rebels, and given in the current
number, rs the best of his writings for
the press that have thus far been given
to the public. He drops the cold for
malty of official reports, and gives
many personal incidents and observa-
tions. 1t is greatly superior to his ac-
count of the siege of Vicksburg, and
throws much light on the cloudy por-
tions of the splendid victory at Chat
tanooga; and he, with grim facetious-
ness, gives a good deal of credit for
the victory of the national arms to the
meddlesomeness of jeff Davis.

WASHINGTON Cd. O. letter: There
are q number of workmen at present
engaged in repairing the damage done
to the Washington Monument by the
stroke of lightning last summer. As
there was only one small window left
at the base of the apex when the monu-
ment was declared completed, num-
Der of people have wondered how the
network of rope rigging which now
reaches to the point of the apex was
placed in position. This is the way the
the work was done: A strong board
was run out of the window in question.
Then O cool headed workman climbed
out on this board and stood up straight
upon it, and with a rope noosed at the
end tossed it up until he caught it upon
the peak of the monument. After he
had this rope caught he then climbed
up hand over hand to the peak and
arranged sliding support for himself,
by which he raised and lowered him
self at will, to twist the ropes around
the top. He did this work at the enor-
nous height OF $50 feet as coolly as
if he were working upon the solid
ground. At no time during his work
was he safe if he had lost his head or
presence of mind for second.

THE Ottumwa Qowa) appeal says
Charles S. Kingsley, veteran of the
late war, returned to his home in that
place few days ago for the first time
since he enlisted, having been for
twenty years confined in an insane
asylum at Washington. He was wound

has the use of but one leg and one arm.
He was shot once in the mouth, the
ball coming out at the corner of the
left eye. The wounds he received in
the head necesstated it being held to-
gether by three silver plates. 1t was
soon after this operation that he be-
came insane. A short time ago it was
discovered that the cause of his insanity
was that one of the plates was pressing
on his brain. The defect was remedied
and he gradually recovered his reason,
and came out of living death Of
twenty years. All that has TRANSFERRED
