II Ia now Just four years since Gen. Skobe-
left, or the White General as he was invari-
ably called in Russia, died suddenly and
somewhat mysteriously at Moscow at the
age Of thirty-nine. Since then much has
been written about him, and the latest and
not the least interesting contribution to the
Skobelef literature is an article in the
Nourslie Recue by the Russian painter Verss-
chagin, who campaigned with him iu Cen
tral Asia and in Bulgaria. Free aud easy
as he was when among his soldiers, or in
congenial society, SkobeleG appeared at his
worst wheI in the presence Of persons Of
high position. "Bsfore his troops have
always found him carefully dressed and
perfumed; when hs presented himself 10 his
superiors he put on his oldest coat, wore his
overcoat In slovenly way, aud his hat at
the back Of his head. lls seemed to fear
that neither elegance nor bravery would bs
forgiven to him. When returned the sec
ond time from Paris to the Danube | went
to see Skobelsf's mother, who asked me to
deliver small box to her son. II was
labeled tres presse At the frontier tha case
was opened; II contained complete collec.
tion OF perfumes" That Skobelen was q
Russian TO the core of his heart appears from
the fact that lie was extremely superstitious
a failing which Is never wanting In the true
Muscovite, however he may try to hide It.
Nj. Vsreschagin gives an amusing story II
support of his statement OF Skobelel . un
limited superstition. The General hat
made him present of the flag under whicl
he had gained twenty-five victories. II wa
made OF red silk, with a yellow cross EN-
broidered in the middle, and IL was torn b,

senator Calls Pen'nanship.

Washington Letter In Milwaukee Sentinel.l
1t is, perhaps, well for Senator Calls
peace of mind that the sentiments Of
employees Of the Government Printing Office
cannot prevail against him. A printer in
the Rec rd room gives graphic account Of
the manner in which the Senator's last
speech was put in type. Mr.. Calls PEN
manship is anything but legible. In fact,
1t is the very worst which comes from the
Capitol. The foreman could do nothing
with 1t, but he gave 1t out, hoping that the
combined intelligence Of a hundred printers
would be able TO make it out. For an hour
or two after the first "taks'' was given out
the atmosphere of the printing Office was
rather sulphuric. The type-setters INDUCED
In those choice aud comprehensive specimens
Of profanity for which the average printer is
noted. Had Senator Call been near enough
to hear lie would have heard things said Of
him which might have shocked one who is
accustomed to so much courtesy and polite
ness as prevails in the Senate. The COM
msnts of the printers were decidedly unpar-
liamentary. The printers in the Record
room are expert craftsmen, hut they could
do nothing with Senator Calls manuscript.
The proof readers were likewise teatsn, and
the only thing to do was to send the proof
sheets to the Senator for correction. When
they came back, with the corrections, the
foreman ordered the speech reset. An old
typo said he never saw such han scratching,
nor did he ever SEQ such an infuriated set Of
printtrs.

eral and his men. But Skobelef was just
then unsuccessful. The enemy made sor
tie from Geok Tepe. took number Of arms,
a cannon, and flag. Skobelef was in de-
spair. "Give me the old flag back, the
new one is unlucky," he wrote to me.
gave nothing back. Another scftie, another
defeat, and considerable losses. Another
appeal. "Give back, give back my lucky flag;
take the one away which has no luck
still, did not sivo II back. Finally Cock
Tepe was taken, large nttmbefs Of .hc enemy
were killed, and an abundance Of arms and
baggage fell into the triumphant den-
erals hands. My flag regained Its favor;
Skobelefr and his Turcomans were never tired
Of admiring II. To day this "lucky" flag
rests on the tomb OF the General.
