The bearded face Of General Robert
Schenck of Ohio has been seen at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York. this
week He is remarkably well preserved
for man who is so years of age. who
did hard work in the deld during the
war and who has been an active worker
in politics for over half century. Gen.
eral Schenck is a rare specimen of an
octogenarian and he takes trip from
Ohio to New York without thinking Of
it, lie has opinions in his old age, as he
had in earlier life

Blocks Of Five Dudley hes gone TO
Court and come ont again. This time,
however, the Court WAS not SO complai-
SAINT as the famous Woods Of Indiana
who construed away q United States
statue 90 keep his friend Dudley from
the peniteDtiary where he belonged IL
was q New York Court and had the dis
posal Of Dudley's "libel' case against the
New York World for publishing the
famous Blocks Of Five" Letter.
Dudley wanted Justice (of course),
but not the kind that courts usually
give out (unless they are the Woods sort).
But he didn't want it bad enough TO go
into court and be examined in his own
behalf. In this view Of the case, his
appeal was yesterday dismissed. 1t is
safe to say that the author of the Blocks
of Five letter will not go that degree Of
brazen efrontery at any time before tr'-
bunal which is not in the pay of the men
who bought the state of Indiana for the
Republican candidate for President at the
last election.
In the meantime things seem to be
pretty well with Dudley. Although his
friend Harrison does not seem to have
nerve enough to ask him to the White
House, as he once complained, his friend
Tanner manages to throw enough bust
ness in his way to make things go even
though it be at the expense Of the tax
payers and at the risk OF helping along
the whole pension principle toward gem
eral contempt. Taking one consideration
with another, for man who deserves to
be in felon's cell to-day, Dudley may
well congratulate himself

A Young Lady.

She was pretty young lady, very charm

poorly dressed. She looked frail aAd seemed
tired She looked around Several very
elegant dudes were seated around, but no.
body made any movement to give up his

spoke got up and gave the old lady her seat
and stood up beside dude decked in the very
latest fashion plate style, who took calm
look at her and-kept his seat Then man
sitting beyond him in the open car who had
just noticed her, got up, walked over tho
dudes knees and invited the young Indy TO
take his sent About ell the dude expressed
was an annoyance at being disturbed. This
is not very much Of story, it is not very
dramatic situation, but it somehow means a

cording to this formula, woods possessing a
degree of hardness equal to only about 40 per
cent. or less than that Of hickory. should not
be classed as hard woods. Such woods are,
however, limited in quantity, and are not OF

The Rnsv ReetIe.

A curious result of the work of species Of
beetle was recently discovered in house in
Portland. Where two matched boards came
together in the sheathing of a room, the
rounded rib, nbout the size of lead pencil,
for length Of two feet and half. had been
replaced with what looked like porous mass
of fine sawdust, which was by sone means SO
held together as to assume the exact shape Of
the original wood. Investigation with PEN
knife, at one end Of this, revealed a small
tunnel under the surface, filed with the same
fine dust and about three inches long, at the
end Of which was a small and very active
black beetle, busily engaged in literally eat

bic supply of food in front The ant is not

following Cheerful. and pleasant view Of
the happy young people who constitute
the Christian Endeayor Society which is
meeting in Philadelphia The Record
says:
Christians or not, endeavoring or not
they are. as old John Bunyan would say,
a goodly company. With hearts open to
every generous impulse, and minds un.
trammeled by doctrinal tradition, they
have met to consider how each may best
bear his OF her share in the responsible
tiles Of life Enthusiasts may perchance
lead these young men and hopeful beings
astray among the sloughs of fanat-
icism; grim philosophers and mater
ialists may scorn them as victims
of emotionalism; ont the impulses that
animate them are nevertheless those
which, the round world over, keep hu.
manity sound and sweet at the core, and
unquestioRably their society is a power
full moral force in elevating and liberal
izing the communities through which its
branches extend Besides it's endowment
Of deeply religious spirit, the Christian
Endeavor Society is strictly an American
institution; and as such it is entitled e
a warm welcome and helping hand not
only from the churches, but from ever,
