THE MASCOT.

match that she and her husband, while
they lived in Indianapolis, should have
no other home than his roof. They all
live together at GA North Delaware
street.
A sbright correspondent of the ST.
Louis Post-Dispatch thus describes the
relations of the general and the baby:
When he gets home from his office in
the evening his first question is, "Where
is the baby?" and when little Ben is
brought to him he either takes the child
to the door and sets him across his chest
upon the excellent pad which his pro-
truding stomach makes, or he places the
boy in wagon and wheels him around
the block. In the house he has little
Ben up to all sorts of tricks; the latest
humor is to let the baby, who can only
creep, try to climb the hall stairs, and
see him grin as he makes the effort.
don't think Gen. Harrison would give
up that baby for eight years in the
White house. In fact, l know he would
not. He loves the boy, and the boy re-
turns his affection. When grandpa is

A Leaf From History.

You have doubtless heard of the his
toric Wyoming valley. Perhaps you
have ridden over the hill south of Will
kesbarre, on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
and gaZed back on its beauty. If so the
memory of that picture will linger with
you forever.
Delightful Wyomipgl Beneath thy skies
The happy shepherd SWANS had naught to
But feed their focks on green declivities,
Or skim. perchance, thy lake with light
canoe.'
Wyoming Park addition to Minneapo-
lis is second to the Wyoming valley of
Pennsylvania only in its history and
area.
1t is part of the quarter section pre-
. empted by John c. BohanOn. 1t lies
just north of Fortieth avenue north,
near Lyndale, which is now boulevard
ed to It-three miles from Hennepin
avenue-near the Single creek pump
ing StatiOn-One and half miles east of
Crystal lake. Not as far out as Camden
Park or Side Park. and inside Lincoln
Park and InglewOOd by one and one
quarter miles. To get to it drive up
either Lyndale or Washington avenues.
The Washington avenue car will take
you within seven blocks of it. and will
probably be extended soon. The Anoka
short line wiltprovide rapid transit to
and from Single creek at an early day.
School, church, mail and trading facili-
ties close by. The water is fine and the
drainage perfect. The lots are 5Ox12S
Gas small as residence lot ever should
be- and they all lie beautifully. But the
price! Actually these lots are retailing
at less than they can be had by whole
sale of any adjoining land owner. If
you buy property in Wyoming Park be-
fore the Goth of August you can sure
get in on the ground floor. Think of
those large lots so near for $3.50. John
Mills, 122 Washington avenue south, is
the sole agent.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

A large number of South side resi-
dents called on Judge d. W. Ellis at
his home OH Lake street Friday even
ing, and urged him to consent to be-
come the candidate for representative
from the Twenty-ninth congressional
district on the Republican ticket. He
replied that he would be glad to do so
should his friends see fit to nominate
him.
A morning paper yesterday printed
an article to the effect that DR.. Denton,
the well-known Minneapolis Prohibi-
ZIONIST, had made overtures to Michael
Doran, at st. Paul, that if three temper
ance electors were placed on the ma
tiOnal ticket the ProhibitiOnists would
turn in and work for Cleveland and
Thurman. All the ProhibitiOnistS were
busy denying the report yesterday. Dr..
Denton denounced the report as untrue
in every respect.
K. Kortgaard, cashier of the State
bank, is out with a letter in which he
reconsiders his willingness to become a
candidate for the office of city treasurer.
In his letter he says that his decision to
withdraw from the field is final.

ways supposed himself to be possessed
of slight faint of negro blood, but
after the death of Gen. Taylor in 1850
the secret leaked out that his mother
was young Spanish creole, who died a
year after his birth. He had then been
married to mulatto about six weeks.
Near the close of the Rebellion he
had accumulated fortune of $4,000,
which was invested in tobacco when
the bOmbardment of Atlanta occurred.
1t was then that the Federal sOldiery
armed with all order from headquarters
to search certain warehouses, broke
open and confScated theeutire contents
! of TaylOr's barn and left him almost
'penniless. A tobacco warehouse was
OF great value at that time.
Taylor happily recollected his services
as valet in 1857, and what good
quent occurrence for him to be cOmpli-
rmented by Northern and Southern
lofficers alike on his phenomenal skill
as tonsorial artist in those days, so he
sold his house and personal effects,
bought for song shaving palace on
Decatur street, Atlanta, and commenced
to make money. He had the entree, as
it were, into military circles, and had
for regular customers at various times
Gems. Sherman, Slocum, Cobb, Judah,
johnson, Stevenson, Bob TOombS, Ben
Hill and Alexander ii. Stephens. His
shop was the rendezvous for military
characters of all shades of distinctions,
from suffers boy to the commanding
general himself. In addition to this
Maj. Taylor, as he was called, carried
on huge boarding and gambling house.
Soon after terrible order was issued
which forced Taylor to go South and be
shot for rebel or go North and be
under Federal protection. There was
no time to think; he was obliged to make
an immediate exodus. He tried franti-
cally, but in vain, he told me as l sat in
his shop at Gainesville the other day, to
sell for S1.25 a massive plate mirror
which had cost HIM nearly $50. He was
offered SO in gold for his house and
shaving palace with fixtures. He fled
to Chattanooga. and engaged himself to
Gen. Stedman as body servant. In the
summer of 1865 he came to Gainesville,
and is now ensconced in a little 12X14
shop, shaving the boards of his occa.
sional patrons and Illuminating on the
past. He has never since set foot in At
lanta, and says he never will. The
mans appearance is striking. and his
resemblance to old 'Rough and Ready
| is pronounced.
Taylor is now in his sixtieth year.

Work Among the London Poor.


The number of London city mission
aries is now 4S3, and every missionary
visits once a month about $50 families,
or $500 persons. Their work is to pio-
neer path among the most wretched
and debased of our fellow creatures, in
which the pastor may in due time fol-
low. Among the special duties of these
missionaries are to attend the deathbed
of those who are dying uncared for, to
distribute tracts, to see that the children
attend school and to see that no family
is without the Word of God. The So
ciety has now appointed special mission
ayies to visit soldiers, sailors, bakers,
actors, coachmen, grooms, cabmen,
omnibus men and canal boatmen, and
to look after the spiritual needs of the
Germans, French, Italians, Swedes,
SpaniardS. Jews and Orientals, and, in
deed, all foreigners resident in London.
Twenty-Five missionaries have been eX-
clusiveiy commissioned to visit coffee
shops and public houses. From the
summary of the work of the society for
the year it appears that more than 5000,
600 calls have been made, 4 800, 900 tracts
distributed and 1875 drunkards re-
claimed.

tive society. He called attention to the
action Of the present state rail-
way commission, which has compelled
the railroads in this state to
make such reduction in their freight
tariffs, that one road has been forced
into bankruptcy, and the others have
been compelled to discharge
large number of their employees
and to reduce the wages of others
in order to meet their running expenses.
He was followed by several speakers
who talked on the same subject and adj
vocated the plan of having all the rail-
road employees form themselves
into union, so as to have
sufficient political strength to cause
the nominees of the different politi-
cal parties for governor to agree to
appoint men as state railroad commits
sioners who will. while regulating the
freight tariffs, look after the interests
OF the railroad employees. A motion
was. put to form a union OF this
A constitution was adopted and
the following officers were elected:
President, George III. Webster, of the
Minneapolis 81 st. Louis railway; vice
president, Samuel Brearley, of the Chi
cage. Milwaukee q st. Paul; secretary,
II. c. Cooper, of the 500; treasurer, w.
II. Harris. of the St. Paul, Minneapolis
81 Manitoba. A committee of three
was appointed by the president to
select nine members for an executive
committee, with instructions to have
every road running into the city repre-
scented on the committee. The COM
mittee, which consisted of E. r. Bristol,
James Burke and John Mills, submitted
the names of j. McCutcheon, l.. S.
Body, Nj. Crowley, III. Brooks and j.
Burke, and asked for further
time to select the other four, as there
were several roads whose employees they
were not acquainted with. The COM
mittee was elected and given until the
next meeting to look up suitable men
for the other four members. Some one
saw Thomas Ii. Lucas sitting
with j. p. McGaughey at one
Oh him for speech. Thomas only
needed one call before he was on the
platform. He said he thought this
whole thing was a plan of the monopo-
lies to array the laboring man against
the farmer, and wanted to know if
there was a man in the audience
who had ever had his wages
raised by the railroad company without
asking for it. Several men replied in
the affirmative and the meeting adj
journed to meet at the call of the eX-

With Pleasure.
TO the Editor of The Globe

To the Editor OF The GLOBE.
l can hardly believe that you intend
to do an injustice. But found in your
issue of the Goth inst. an erroneous
statement in relation to the amount that
had been recovered from the city as
damages for injuries caused by defect
i've sidewalks during the past year.
You stated the amount to be between
$4,000 and $4,000. The facts are that
l took the position of city attorney about
fourteen months ago. l have tried
cases brought to recover damages for
injuries claimed to be received on ac-
count of defective sidewalks, where the
amount sued for aggregated between
$4,000 and $4,000. There were eight
actions. Out of the eight only two YER
diets were rendered against the city;
one for $500 and the other for $500, ag-
gregating $1,000. whichiS quite different
from the statement published by you.
Will you be kind enough to correct the
same in justice to me? Yours respect
fully, SEAGRAvE SMITH,
City Attorney.

municipal court yesterday afternoon on
charge of obstructing the sidewalk in
front of his place of business. He was
found guilty, but sentence was sus-
pended on his promising to see that the
sidewalk was cleared off and kept in
that condition in the future. In finding
the well-knOwn prisoner guilty, Judge
Mahoney made him a short address,
telling him that he had no more right to
blockade the sidewalks because he was
at the head of big wholesale house
than if he were simply running little

around Ben knows he can have his own
way. He sets up shout when he sees
the general enter the house, and sits
beside him at the table in a high chair
and bosses the house. During the con-
ventiOn little Ben was sick, and Monday
morning, when the general went to his
Office before the nomination was made,
and somebody asked him about the
baby. he said:
= ''l'll tell you what's the matter with
that baby. It's Lis anxiety about the
convention that has made him sick, but
he seems to be much better this morn
ing"
A few minutes later the general was
rushed home to hug and kiss the baby.
That's why | say the baby is going to
be his mascot in this campaign. Ever
since the boy was born Mrs. Harrison
has insisted on taking care of it. Gen.
and Mrs. Harrison have in turn walked
the floor with it in the depths of night,
giving it paregoric and singing "Peek-

slept soundly. Not single night since

went for him, and was walking up and
down the back yard with the boy in his
arms, when the second-story window
was raised and Gen. and Mrs. Harrison
put out their heads and the general
shouted:
