Of his affection, for she was modest, in

And George graspcd the situation and

The Plinniom Heron.

A rare bird was shot at Dundee, Ind.
by Austin Dolla, a farmer. The bird is
snow white and stands seven feet high.
The remarkable fact that it weighs less
than four pounds has excited no little in
tcrcst. For want of the proper name the
people have appropriately dubbed it the
"phantom heron"

People Stlll Want 1t in Central Park
 A Hartford, Ot., Inventors Sugges-
 ton.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The Worlds Fair enterprise is booming. The public evidently are not fully aware of the fact that the Con- mittee on Site finally decided that Central Park was out of the question as Worlds Fair site, as suggestions about it are continu- ally pouring in.
 MT. Simon Stevens sent in 8 memorandum of conversation he held with Dr. Gatling of Hartford, the inventor of the GatIing gun, on the subject of the location of the Exposi- tion.
 Mir. Stevens remarked that Dr. Gatling warmly urged that the Exposition should be held in New York, and that Central Park was certainly the finest public park in the world in his judgment, and the best site that could be selected for the buildings would be Central Park.
 MT. Stevens told the eminent Doctor that such an announcement would cause general Park should be thus desecrated.
 Dr. Gatling replied that if it was located in Central Park the receipts from visitors would be far in excess of a million dollars more than if located outside of the Park. He spoke of the magnificent approaches to the Park from every direction. That by skillful engineering buildings could be so construct ed, that when removed the places that had been occupied could easily be restored and more magnifcently beautifed than before. As proof of these assertions the Doctor res ferred to the exposition sites of London, Paris, and other cities.
 Walter s. Church suggests library for the Worlds Fair. In 1892, if Congress and the several State Legislatures were appealed to, the response would be gathering of books that would astonish the world. The collec- ton thus gathered should be kept az mag nifcent start for free library open to all citizens of all States.

JACK DEMPSEY KNOCKED OUT IN
THE G. A. R. ENCAmPMENT.

A Grand Parade-Thirty-Five Thou-
 sand Men in Line-Big Crowds In
 the City-General sherman the Cen-
 ter of Interest.
 MILWAUKEE, Aug. 27.-Pleasant weather was never more welcome than 1t was to-day. This morning great crowds came to the city to see the parade. In the hotels the crush was very great. It was all that one could do to force his way through. In the Plankin- ton House especially, where Gen. Sherman, Gen. Alger, Commissioner Tanner and Mrs. Logan were, great crowds were standing around waiting to get glimpse of the dis- inluished parties. Mrs. Logan, coming down the steps from the large dining hall about o'clock, leaning on the arm of Gen. Alger, was forced to hold an impromptu re- ception as a crowd of veterans from one di- rection and bevy of ladies from the oppo- site hastened to greet her.
 The parade has been the great event of the encampment, and while it was not 80 large aged, fine spectacle and a complete success. The head of the column began to move at 10 o'clock and reached the reviewing stand on Grand avenue at 10:30. A conservative esti- mate of the number of men who passed that point places it at thirty-fve thousand. A noticeable incident of the parade was the en- thusiasm of the old veterans whenever they caught glimpse of Gen. Sherman. He was greeted with round after round of cheers, while the bands forgot their admonition not to play Marching Through Georgia" and the grizzled old hero of the triumphal march through the south had to listen to the tune that has dinned his ears. ever since the war closed. There were magnificent spectacles to be seen about the time the parade started. One was observable from the intersection of Eighth street on Grand avenue, looking down the avenue to the bridge.
