WASHINGTON, July 3.-Senator Sher-
MAJ left this city today for Cincinnati,
where he will spend a few days before
proceeding to his home in Mansfield.
He will return to Washington about
July Is. A fellow Senator tells the fol-
lowing story on the disappointed Presi-
Dental candidate from Ohio:
Senators Sherman and HOar probably
read more novels than any other two
Senators in the Chamber. Whenever
one finishes a particularly clever story
he invariably passes it over to his col
league to peruse. They have an excel
lent opinion of each others Judgment
in the selection of reading matter, and
whenever II of them opens a book in
the Senate the other will cross over to
his seat to glance at the title. Yester-
day afternoon Senator Hoar sat in his
chair deeply ~engrossed in a paper-cover-
ed novel. Sherman passed down the
isle and paus d to ask:
"What are you reading?"
Without looking up Senator Hoar re-
piled:
"One of Clark Russels sea tales-a
good story for warm weather-'The
Frozen Pirate"
With a sarcastic smile Senator Sher-
man inquired:

GEN. HARRISON ACCEPTS.

Yesterday, at Indianapolis, General
Harrison was notified of his nomina-
ton, and of course he accepted and
made a speech. The telegraph says:
General Harrison looked pale and
careworn, his expression being one of
deep seriousness as he stood facing the
committee, attired in a close-buttoned
Prince Albert. Mrs. Harrison, on the
contrary, looked very happy and bright.
Her sparkling eyes and winsome man
ners were in charming contrast with
her abundant gray hair. She was at
tired in white India silk trimmed in
gimp with high Geck, long sleeves and
nc ornaments. On her left stood Mrs.
J. N. Huston, a beautiful brunette, at
tired in black silk and diamond orna-
ments, and beside her stood Mrs. John
c. New, also in black silk with dia-
mOnds."
1Chairman Estee, of California, made
the speech presenting the nomination
He dwelt principally on the protection
of American industry hobby.
Gen. Harrison replied:
III accept the nomination with SO
deep a sense of the dignity Of the office
and the gravity of its duties and re.
sponsibilities as altogether exclude any
feeling of exultation or pride. The
principles of government and the prac.
tices in administration, upon which is
sues are now so fortunately so clearly
made, are 50 prominent in their rela
tions to national and to individuol pros
perity that we may expect an unusua
! popular interest in the campaign. Re

CHICAGO TIMES: On the night of the
close of the convention Gov. Foster and
Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, met. Foster
openly accused Foraker of treachery to
Sherman. Foraker colored in the face
and Foster gave emphasis to his accu-
station with the remark: "You are a
traitorl You have dug a grave for
yourself so deep that you'll not live long
enough to crawl out of it. l made you
what you have been and 1 am ashamed
of the job" This is vouched for by a
Texas delegate who says he saw the
meeting and overheard the remark.

DIR. MULLER ON SUNDAY BASE
BALL.

There was a very large audience
present last evening at the First Meth
odist church to hear DR.. Muller on
Sunday base ball. The sermon was a
rare intellectual treat, such al one
seldom hears from the pulpit,
admirable in temper and trend, and or
nate in classic illustrations. We have
quite recently witnessed some very
close and exciting games of base ball,
and while a patron of this exhilerating
and ~recreating pastime, we must con-
TESS that we have never enjoyed any
game half so much as DR.. Muller's SER
mon. Elsewhere, in this issue we print
the substance of the learned gentle
mans remarks, that we feel assured
will be read with pleasure and profit by
all our patrons.

HARRrsoN's FACE PAINTED OUT.
An Attempt to Falsify History, Which
Failed.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 4.-Joseph r.
Perry, the Republican who manages
the cyclorama of the Battle at Atlanta,
now on exhibition here, has lost his job
on account of his love for Gen. Harri-
son. When the news of HarrisOn's
nomination was received Perry hurried
for an artist, who, as stated hitherto in
The World, painted on the canvas the
head and face of Gen Harrison upon
the body of theodore Davis, a war cor
respondent of the Harper's. Gen. Har-
ris0n looked fine enough cavorting
about the field on a horse, but old sol
diers who knew that at the time Gen.
Harrison and his commend were seven
miles away, %turnedup their noses when
told of the change.
The Sentinel (Democratic), whose
proprietor, William j. Craig, owns
stock in the battle picture, published a
scathing condemnation of Perry for
destroying the historical correctness of
so great a work of art. Perry replied
in print that the picture had been alter
ed at the suggestion of several of its
Board of Directors. The directors
promptly denied this impeachment and
today gave Perry his walking papers.
Gen. Harrison's face has been painted
out.

Great Depth of the sacuenav.

The river is probably the deepest stream in
the world; excepting in a few places the
general depth IS from GOO to 900 feet and the
bottom of the Saguenay at its mouth is 600
feet below the bottom of the ST. Lawrence.
Thus low point Of rock at the shore or an
island is really the top of great hill, spring
ing up stceply from the bottom; and many
of the cliffs are not half out of water. As the
spring tides rise about eighteen feet, the cur
rents of the river are violent and eccentric;
in some places the ebb stream runs from
four 70 six miles an hour; the eddieS along
the shore are like those on a rapid; and the
undercurrentS sometimes lay hold Of vessel
and turn her about or hold her stln IN spite
of tow boat.
Before the use of tow boats, a vessel left
helpless by a calm sometimes drifted against
the rocks, lodged on a ledge, and when the
tide fell capSiZed in deep water As anchor
age is very rarely found. large iron rings
were let into the rocks. and vessels even now
sometimes tie up to the cliffs and await =
fair wind. The tide, for some unexplained
reason, advances with extraordinary rapidity
in the Ssguenay; thus, notwithstanding the
fact that the ebb current very rarely ceases
to flow ont OF the river, vet high tide arrives
at Chicoutirni only forty-five minutes later

In a Cigarette Factory.

A reporter visited one of the large cigarette
manufactures in this city to see how they
are made The mandatory is four story
building. About 1,2O0 girls are employed in
making cigarettes. a girl was asked how
many cigarettes girl could make III a day.
She replied that 1t depended on how nimble
her fingers were. A ainart girl could make
about ), 800 day. She is paid from seventy
to eighty cents per 1000, according to the
grade of the cigarette. This is the way we
make Them" she said. This large piece Of
marble is what we roll them on. 1t is much
better than wood, because it is washed three
or four times day to prevent the cigarettes
from getting soiled. When a girl finishes
thousand the cigarettes are carefully exam
ined. If any Of them are pasted crooked or
are solled they are returned to the maker,
who must do her work over again.
This small piece of brown paper is what
we use 10 roll them with. 1t is called kun
kee. One edge of it is pasted to the marble.
4 stick about foot in length and about as
thick as a match is used for the pasting. 1h9
paste is made Of pure starch and water. The
cigarette paper is laid on the kunkee and
small quantity of tobacco put on il. The
edge of the kunkee Is turned, and by sliding
the flat of the hand over it the cigarette is
rolled. Then the paste stick Is run over ono
edge of the paper and it is gently slid through
the fingers. and the cigarette IS made. After
the ends are cut of it is ready for the trade.
Making cigarettes looks easy enough; but if
you We're compelled to sit at a table ten hours
each day you would find it very hard and
tedious and injurious to the health. The
tobacco is sent direct from the plantation TO
the factory, where it is adulterated by q Sc
cret process. New York Evening Sun.

The Lear Story" of Forrest.

I asked Lawrence Barrett one day II that
familiar Lear story that is told of the late Ed
win Forrest was really true.
"Oh, yes" replied Mr.. Barrett, Il have YER
flied it and can vouch for its authenticity.
1t occurred in ST Louis. Near the end of his
career Dir. Forrest was playing in that city.
He was very feeble, and his growing lame
ness caused him painful anxiety. He seemed,
in fact, 70 be gradually giving away to mel
anchoIia One night, after a performance Of
Lear he was sitting late at supper with his
friend J. B. Mccullough, OF the st. Louis

you did to-tight'

Il do not think this was wholly magma
tive" added MI Barrett. The veteran had
many experiences in common with the old
royal Briton Early friends were gone from
him: new friends were but half hearted. His
hearthstone was desolate. The public. to
whom he had given his last years, was be-
coming impatient of his intirmities. The
royalty OF his powers be saw by degrees torn
from his decaying form. Other kings of the
stage had arisen, to whom his old subjects
now showed a reverence once ali his own.
The nlockery of his disdem alone remained.
A wreck of tho once proud man who had de-
spisei all weakness, and who had ruled his
kingdom with imperial sway, he now stood
desolate. Broken in health and in spirit.

lection of memorabilia OF the worlds great
men which is probably unequaled N Che

proof room forming the second story OF his
State street store is completely filled with
rare relics. Besides these Dir. Gunther has
enough more relics to fill five rooms OF equal
size Many of these are too valuable TO be
exhibited, and an exhibition safe IS now
being built for them. They include all the
deeds, ETC., by means Of which George Wash
ington proved his ownership IN Mount

'sOh, you want to see the Lincoln collec-
ton" said Mr. Gunther to reporter. well,
here's part of it. Ny Lincoln collection
entire would fill whole side Of this room.
HereT-ou see is a well worn leaf from one OF
Llncoln's copybooks when he was a boy. You
see he didn't make any mistakes even then.
Here are several of his bills for legal services.
That one YOU see is for only S5-not much
ike a modern fee. That pile there is the full
text of the Lincoln Douglas debate They
are in exactly the shape in which Lincoln
left them after correcting them for publica-
ton There are the mulfier and the vest be
wore on his inauguration trip TO Washington.
There are his spectacles-not much like those
of our dudes now That is the original man

District OF Columbia. There is Lincoln's
fayorite poem written by himself. You see
it begins: .'Oh, why should the spirit OF
mortal be proudf' There are two original
photographs taken before his Inauguration.
All these bronze gold and silver medals COM
memorate events IN his life.
THAT manuscript there is one Of the most
valuable here. You know the original
emancipation proclamation was burned in
the Chicago fire. Wei, this is page from
Lincoln's last message, written after Lees
surrender, in which he affrms the emancipa-
ton proclamation You see it says: i re-
peat the declaration made a year ago that
while l remain in nay present position l shall
not attempt TO retract or modify the eman-
cipation proclamation, nor shall l return to
slavery any person who is free blythe terms Of
that proclamation or by any OF the acts Of

That deed of land made by the father and

see his mother had to make her mark. See
how writing shows how man is feeling at
the time That order for pass through the
lines shows that he was all worn out at the
