Charles Marsh died Friday after
noon at o'clock. He was born in
Chesterfield, N. H. and at an early
age went TO Cohasset, Mass, to seek
employment. In 1852 Eben d. Jor-
dan and Benjamin L. Marsh estab-

as partner. In the early days of their

charge of the wholesale department,
which has since remained under his
personal supervision. In commercial
circles Marsh ranked high as man
ager, and socially was held in high |
esteem. The funeral took place Tues
day noon, in the Arlington street |
Unitarian church at Cohasset, of
which Mr.. Marsh was a member.

residence of Senator Logan in Wash

wooden Indian of the old fashioned |
tobacco shop, several other Senators
came up and one of them said: ''Why |
does Logan linger here so long?"
"Oh," said the presiding genius of
the booth, "that's all right he's my
sign" At which Logan laughed as
heartily as the rest.

and champagne, prepared in a bowl, |
with a thick layer of fresh, and |
strong scented violets floating on the

perfumed flavor to the mixture, much |
to the Kings taste, as Ludwig was so
fond of scents that the air around |
him was generally redolent of per-
fume. This fancy cost him quite FLO
daily.
