GEN. HARRlsoN's FRIEND.
He Objects TO the nsideration of Pension
for Col. Burns Widow.
Nav York Snnl

Col Michael w. Burns was past commander
of Phil Kearney post q. A. r., Of this city. He
participated in most of the great battles of the
army OF the Potomac, and commanded the fa-
tai angle in the peach orchard at the battle OF
Gettysburg. lie was badly wounded at Grove
ton and was twice promoted for gallantry on
the field He died in 1883, leaving q widow
without support. Gems. George b. Mcclellan,
Daniel f. Sickels, Joseph B. Carr, Anson @.
McCook, John Cochrane, George II. Sharpe
and others were pallbearers at his funeral.
A bill was recently reported from the house
committee of invalid pensions granting TO the
widow Of Col. Burns $50 per month. IL came
before the house on Friday night The clerk
was about TO read the report of the committee
when the Hon. Joseph B.Cheadle a republican
congressman from Indiana, objected and pro-
posed to postpone it consideration to July IL.
His objection sent the bill over.
Col. Burns was q Roman catholic, and the
18th of July is the anniversary Of the battle Of
the Boyne.
Cheadle represents a congressional district
bordering that in which the republican cans
didate for president lives. He is an intimate
friend of Gen. Benjamin Harrison. He sports
the largest grand army badge on the republic
can side Of the house of representatives. We
commend his case TO the kindly consideration
of Phil Kearney post no. s, and of all other
grand army organizations in the city.

Horses with Bogus Tails.

A stylish barouehe drawn by two prancing
horses drove out Walnut-st., recently. A well-
known wigmaker was standing at Broad and
Walnut streets talking TO Tines reporter.
''Do you see that team?" said the wigmaker.
"Well, do you see what beautiful flowing tails
they've got2 They're bogus"
The little wigmaker laughed aloud and then
said: ''I made those tails. / make tails for q
good many stylish horses. You know that q
horse without handsome tale isn't handsome
at all He may have beautiful name and hold
his head high and step and prance, and bite his
bit, showing all the traits OF full-biooded ami
NAL but if he hasn't got long flowing tail, all
the other characteristics 90 for nothing.
There are a great many stylish steppera
driven in the park every day that have false
tails that sweep the ground. The horses get
used to the false tails just as man becomes ac-
customed TO wearing a wig. The false tails are
fastened on to the horses own tail so nicely
that you can't detect the deception. The tails
don't have TO be removed at night when the
horse is put in his stall. The bogus tails can be
washed and brushed and combed on the horse
just as well as of OF him.
'The bogus tails cost from $40 10 SIS. / gen.
orally make pair for S25. They will last as
long as the horse. buy dead horses tails and
names Just as buy human hair. The practice
of shocking horses tails is shocking" Here the
little wigmaker laughed violently at his joke
and then continued: THE practice is dying
out; but tail will never grow in like it was be-
fore il was cut short. The way TO cultivate q
horses tail is to clip it about an inch once o
month.

Not Done Laughing.

Economy fails to be appreciated at its true
worth sometimes. They haven't done laugh
ing yet at the device of pretty girl in Madi-
son-st. horse car the other day. She wore
the daintiest of white gowns, of some soft, thin
fabric easily soiled. She was bound very evil
IDENTIFY for the scene of some afternoon festivity
and had no spare money with which to hire a
carriage. The car seat was dusty, and after
glancing at it she did not Immediately sit
down. Instead she united bundle of some
size carried on her arm, and out dropped sew
eral yards of something else white. A sheet it
appeared to the feminine eye. This she pre-
ceeded to spread, not without some signs of
embarrassment but with fair degree of COM
posure, in the corner belonging for the mo-
ment to her. Seating herself carefully in the
middle of the whiteness she drew up the sur
plus about her, and there the gown was as
scrupulously protected as if the judicious
young woman had been mistress of a coach
and four. There was some staring which
flushed her cheeks, but it was worth dress

CHAPTER XXXVL.
THE pocToR's BARGAIN.

When the doctor went to see Nora again
during the same afternoon, he took Bid
dulph's note with him, though his con-
science somewhat reproached him for do
ing so.
~ suppose / shouldna do it; but weel,
weel, / Just Gamma help it." he muttered
to himself, as he placed the note in his
pocket and when he entered her room he
saw Nora's dark eyes at once wander in
ouiringly to his face.
But Lady Barbara was sitting there, and
this made his position difficult one, for
Lady Bab's eyes were keen and her wits
sharp. She could not understand, indeed,
why the tall, ungainly man kept shifting
his position so often, and at last it occurred
TO her mind that he might wish to speak
to Miss Nora Stewart alone.
"Have you anything to say to Miss
Stewart, she asked, in her direct way,
"that you do not wish me to hear? Be
cause, if so, will leave you"
"Weel, my leedy," answered the doctor,
blushing scarlet, 81 ha' a medical question
or two"
"An right" said Lady Bah, interrupting
him and rising; 'I'n leave you two to-
gether, then, for the present." and she left
the room, and the doctor was at liberty to
produce Biddulph's note, which he did
with something between groan and a
sigh.

~ RAID TO LIE DOWN.
A Curious oct About the Elephant Jumbo
T by a Minneapolitan.
minneapolis Mimi Journal

minneapolis tMinn.) Journal
"I saw that you said something some
time ago about Jumbo never having lam
down." remarked j. T. McCadden, who
was formerly connected with theBarnum,
Bailey circus, the other day, THAT is s
fact. During twenty six years that Jumbo
lived in England and America, he was
never known TO get down on his knees un-
I'll be was killed by the railroad train.
The theory of the men about the circus was
that he was afraid that he would never be
able TO get up again. He had the largest
legs of any animal that ever lived in our
day, and l do not think myself he ever
could have gotten up had he lain down.
Jumbo used to sleep leaning against q
post"
"When he was killed he was on a rail-
road track. He could not get down on
either side on account of the high bank.
He could have escaped himself, but he
wanted to save the baby elephant that was
always with him. He saved the little one
but lost his own life. When the massive
animal saw he could not get down he
started TO run down the track but the heavy
freight train was coming down grade and
it gained upon him. The engine could
not be stopped. When he saw there
was no escape, the courageous animal
turned toward the mighty train and
charged it. He knocked the engine TO
pieces and derailed il and number OF cars.
Jumbo was the kindest elephant We
ever had with the circus" continued Mr..
McCaddon, who has been circus man for
5years. "l1e was never ugly. All this
talk about elephants being ahectionate is
nonsense. They are managed through fear,
and while they have a wholesome respect
for their keepers they have little love.
They are the most intelligent of all animals
and thoy know that it is best to behave
themselves. Jumbo's keeper was a man
named Scott. "0ld man Scott" every one
called him, although he was not much
over forty. He had raised the elephant
and he loved the massive beast as few men
love their wives. He could not bear 10 be
separated from him a moment. He would
not even leave him to 60 10 his meals.
Scott was hard drinker. All his earn
ings went to buy whisky, and when he got
a quart of whisky, Jumbo always got half
OF it, for the great beast was passionately
fond of liquor. Scott used to think he
owned the elephant and told everyone that
he rented him TO the Barnum show"

The Issue Fairly stated.
boston Post. !

The tariff reform idea is this, that whatever
policy may have been considered expedient in
the early days of this country for imposing
taxes upon foreign imports for the purpose Of
enabling the owners of capital, who desired to
invest it in iron Mines iron works, textile fac
tories, or in any eother arts to obtain higher
price for their products than they would other
wise have been able 10 get-the time for such q
policy has long since passed. But careful and
iudicious discrimination should be used in re-
ducing the taxes upon foreign imports; sudden
and sufficient time should be given in making
gradual changes TO enable the owners of such
capital to adjust themselves 10 new and more
favorable conditions. The high tariff republi-
can doctrine. on the other hand, is that taxes
should be imposed on i'm ports forever, in order
to enable certain classes Of investors 70 obtain
higher prices for their products than they could
obtain otherwise. With this principle Harrison
appears TO be in perfect accord.

INew York World.l

On Friday night las. a democratic member
of congress and member of a grand army post
called up bill pensioning the widow of Col
Michael w. Burns of this city. Mr.. Cheadle, q
republican congressman from a Tppecanoe
district of Indiana, insulted the religion and
the memory of the brave soldier by asking for
the postponement of the consideration of the
bill until the 18th Of July. Cheadle is also 9
member of the grand army. Col. Burns was
once a commander of Phil Kearny post No. 8,
OF this city. Cheadle possibly thought he was
striking at the widow of a democratic SOL
dier. He was mistaken. Col. Burns was a re-
publican. Every Irish-American, Independents
of politics, however, will resent the insult to
his memory. And Cheadle, by the way, is not
only a staunch adherent but a close personal
friend of Gen. Benjamin Harrison.

Evening News publishes the following article
in regard to Tom Voolfolk today:
Today Mrs Edwards of East Macon, visited Tom
Voolfolk at the jail, while News reporter pres
ent. Mrs. Edwards was not allowed TO enter the
cell where her brother is confined but she was re
qured to stlnd the outside of the cell, and talk
to him at the small opening through which his
meals are handed
Assistant Jailer Basset stood near by so he could
see and rear all that aSsed 1t is supposed thatthe
object Of M $. Edwardss visit was to consult with
Tom about the writ Of certiorari that was granted
Saturday, stopping the sale of the pronerty claimed
to belong to the estate OF Mrs. Matte Voolfolk, and
which Mrs. Edwards and Mrs Cowan will enter
suit in the superior court TO Mrs. Edwards
and Mrs. Cowan called on Tom last Friday, but Mrs
towan did not come today; she returned to Haw
kinsvie Friday night, owing to the sickness of her
husband with pneumonia
While the News reporter was at the Jail last night,
Voolfolk walked his cell con tinuously, and seemed
to be in nervous and disturbed condition,
1t is reported that Voolfolk has said whenever
the test arises to the heirship of the property said
to belong to the estate of his late stepmother that
it will be decided in favor of his sisters.
The murderer of the Voolfolk family is the only
person on earth able TO say who was the first one
killed, Captain Voolfolk or his wife. Some think
that this civil law suit will have the effect of max
ing Tom Voolfolk confess the crimes, so it can be
determined whether or not Captain Voolfolk sur
yiyed his wife.
