over on the other side Of the house were
sitting Messrs. Mofiatt, Hubbell and Chan

| Norris partner. would make "A much better

is strong probability that he will get it, !

| Don't mention it, however as the publica-

mysteriously and the party broke up.
The fact that Michigan Democrats in Con-

been so extremely outspoken in jenouncing
President Cleveland's administration will
il is thought, injure Mr.. Norr1s' chances
II IS believed here that Don NJ. Dickinson
will be cons llted before the President acts
and that iha man indorsed by him will stand
better chance of success than all Others

During the the war Major E. A. Burke
of New Orleans was in command of dc.
tachment that captured part of the
Sixth Massachusetts Regiment. He
treated the prisoners as kindly as the cir
cumstanccs would permit, and parted
from many of them with expressions of
courtesy and regret Years passed, and
he heard not a word from any of them,
at the time of the great flood in southern
Louisiana Major Burke, as Chairman OF
the Relief Committee received one day a
despatch from Boston authorizing him to
draw at sight for $4,000. This was one
of the earliest responses to the cry that
had gone up for help, and it touched
and encouraged the Major. Two hours
later came another despatch from Boston
authorizing the committee to draw fol
another $40, 900, and in few hours a
third despatch donating another $40, 900.
With these dispatches, or in some way tc
