The Harrison Kinfolk.
RELATIVES OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT WHO RESID
IN CINCINNATI AND VICINITY

RELATIVES OF THE PREsIDENT-ELECT WHO RESIDE
IN CINCINNATI AND VICINITY.
General Harrison has a large number Of rela-
tives who reside in this locality, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, and most of them are we'll
known citizens. Russell Harrison, the only
son Of the general, has been resident of Mon
tana until recently, and came east to help in
his fathers campaign. The young man is en-
gagged IN cattle raising in syndicate in Mon
tana with Stephen b. Elkins and ex-senator
DAVIS, OF West Virginia. Elkins is son-in-law
OF Davis. Lieut.. Brown. of the United States
navy, and a brother of Charles E. Brown part
ner OF Hon. Howard Douglas, also married a
daughter of Senator Davis
The wife of Col. d. w. McClung, clerk of the
election board, is an own cousin of President
Harrison. She was the daughter Of Carter b.
Harrison, the youngest son Of Gen. William
Henry Harrison, and a brother of John Scott
Harrison, the father of the President-elect.
The Irwin family, of this city, is also connected
with the Harrisons. Mr. w. F. Irwin, the
father Of Hon. L. W. Irwin, the well-known
young democratic attorney, was a brother-in-
law Of Gen. Harrison's father. Mr. Irwin's
half-sister was Gen. Harrison's mother, and,
consequently, Lew Irwin is a half-cousin to the
new President on his mothers side. Many of
the old families in this locality are connected
more or less remotely with the Harrsons.
Gen. Findlay, the well-known Indian fighter
OF early days, and who represented this city in
Congress for many years, was the father-in-
law OF William Henry Harrison, the eldest son
OF the first President of that NAME
The new President is well known by the old
residents OF College Hill, where he attended
school for several years. Hon. Milton Sayler,
who formerly lived here and was in Congress
from the first district, was a classmate of Gen
Harrison in Oxford university

Gen. Harrison was in receipt of another very
heavy mail yesterday. The county commits

A dispatch from Cincinnati. November ID,
says: An examination OF the ballots in Boone,
Campbell, Denton, and Pendleton counties, in
the sixth Kentucky district, shows that 1902
perforated tickets were cast for Hon. John G..
Carlisle. His majority in the entire district
was 6,051, so that if no further search is made
there are enough ballots to defeat him if it
shall be declared upon contest that these per-
forated ballots are void.

A Scientists DelusiOn.

N. ID. Conway in the Chicago Open Court
once asked Prof. Tyndall how he accounted
for the spiritualistic belief of certain eminent
man Of science. He replied: ''That mans in
tellect is a loom. Give him his facts he will
vigorously weave them; but his discrimination
as to what are facts is faulty, and he will some-
times weave rotten along with sound threads
into his weft." Not long after a female me-
dium-a favorite with these spirit scientists
was detected by two gentlemen of the British
museum. While the spirit was walking
about the room under a dim light she was
clutched by one, and the other, striking
powerful light, revealed the form of the me-
dium-supposed to be securely bound with
sealed knots in a cabinet The facts were GER
titled in the Times. They were admitted. But
the scientific man whose judgment DR.. Tyndall
questioned wrote q letter to the Times MAIN
tanning that the spirit, not being able to ma
terialize that evening, had utilized the medi-
um's body without that mediums conscious
ness or knowledge. What wise spirits To
select for this exceptional performance the par
ticular evening when two scientists were
present with apparatus for bringing their me-
dunn into disgrace! Yet such was the deg rec
to which emotional enthusiasm could smother
the brain which, simultaneously with Darwin,
discovered the law Of evolution!

our consul at San Salvador, that the fiber of
the banana is one Of the valuable products of
the soil which is now largely suffered to 20 to

threads of silken fneness. extends the length
OF the body Of the tree, which grows without a
branch from 10 to Is feet high, and has a cir
conference at the base of 21$ to feet. In
Central America, the fiber, with no preparation
except drying is used for shoestrings, lariats.

twelve months Of existence the banana trees
bear only one bunch Of fruit but from two to
four or ten trees spring from the roots of the
one that has fallen. At home the bunch of
bananas is worth Is cents, and the dead tree
nothing, though, if the supply were not mex
haustible, the latter would be worth ten times
the value of the fruit to conlage factory,

Ambiguity Of Expression.

Frank H. Stauffer in the Epoch
1t is said that when Jacob Boehme, the ia
nous philosopher, was on his deathbed some
of his pupils came to him to have an obscure
passage in his writings explained before he
died. After puzzling over it for awhile he
said 'My dear children, when I wrote this I
understood its meaning and no doubt the ON
niscient God did. He may still remember it,
but have forgotten"
Klopstock, the German poet, was once WIS.,
tied by some students from Gottingen to have
the meaning of one of his stanZas explained
After reading the stanza he replied: II cannot
recollect what meant when / wrote it, but
remember that it was the finest thing l ever
wrote, and you cannot do better than to devote
your lives to the discovery of its meaning"
cOmical sentence appeared in the program
of a concert given by N. Gounod, in London.
The eighth song was printed: "'She Wandered
Down the Mountain Side, accompanied by the
composer"
A lady, in advertising herself as teacher,
referred to the reputation for teaching she
bears"
Instances of 'neglecting the antecedent"
are amusing. In an old geography we are
told that Albany is town with 800 houses and
1000 inhabitants, all with their gable ends
toward the street."
A furrier once announced that he was pre-
pared to make up caPes, circulars, &C., for
ladies ont of their own SKINS
match vender of London used the follow
ing street cry: Buy pennyworth of matches
from poor old man. made of foreign wood"
Some years ago member Of the noted Saw
age club of London was standing on the steps
of the club house. man stopped and asked:
docs gentleman belong to your club with
one eye, named Walker?" II don't know" was
the reply. 'What was the name of his other
eye?"
The father did not speak with clearness when
he exhibited fiddle made by his son, and said:
HE made it out of his head, and has wood
enough left to make another one."
We occasionally read in the papers about
''terra-cotta ladies' gloves" ''woolen chidren's
mits," "octagonal mems cashmere pantaloons,"
etc. Or that "a snake was killed by a boy
twelve feet long," or that thrifty housewife
a man wants "a boy to drive horse who lives

The Directory Man.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star
The champion unconscious funny man is out
in Avondale, where he is getting the names and
statistics for the new Hamilton county direc-
tory. Yesterday he called at the house of a
young couple who have seen just two summers
and winters pass over their heads since the law
and the gospel made them one.
How old is your husband?" asked the direc-
tory man Of the wife.
''Twenty-six."

Then in the same cold. far-away. official tome

Have you any grown-up children?"
The young wife nearly tainted, the effort was
SO great to suppress the historical laughter
that possessed her soul, but she managed to
say that their only child was still, in the ma
ture of things, baby.
This story is almost equal to the tale of the
man who took the census in College Hill. He
called at family where there were twins, and
after being told their age, he blandly and I'M
thinkingly inquired of the dumbfounded mo-
Their whether they were born in the same state.
He had followed his instructions to the letter.

One Of the finest gardens In India IL that Of
the Nizam of Hyderaban in the Dekkan. The
horticultural skill of the country, developed by
centuries OF experience and lavish expense, has
been taxed to the utmost TO produce the laby-
rinths Of shade. the brilliancy Of color, and the
cloudsof perfume which all Orientals love. Thick
plantations and strawberries are combined with
gorgeous designs, composed Of bright-colored
flowers, which, we may believe, Oriental taste
has made more beautiful than those we COM
monty see in Western countries; and Q large

idea Of the magnitude Of the garden and the
expense OF maintaining 1t may be gathered
from the statement that it contains six million

swim most all declduous shrubs, roses may
be planted in the fall to better advantage than
in the spring. It is inadvisable to plant roses
earlier than November, as the wood is not
sufficiently ripened to admit of lifting them
from the open ground before the latter part of
October. But late as it may seem, the roots of
all fall planted roses are not inactive, but fall
to work, and before the rigors of winter have
set in many fbrous roots have been made
in the spring when a season Of active
growth is inaugurated. The spring planted
rose lacks these fbrous roots at the outset and
the plant is consequently sluggish in its devel-
opment Of shoots and blossoms until later in
the season, when perhaps drought serves to
still further check vigorous growth and even
to absolutely destroy what might otherwise
have been a strong, healthy plant This, in q
nutshell seems to be the all in all Of fall plant
ing, but it is unquestionably the main secret of
success at the outset
