The episode in Gen. Sickles' life
which resulted in the death of Philip
Barton Key, I am told, was brought
about by another mans desire to avoid
giving counsel to friend. When Gen.
Sickles found out his wife's faithless-
ness he went to Samuel F. Butter
worth, then a prominent public man,
to seek advice. He told Butterworth
what he knew and asked what he ought
to do as a gentleman to protect his
honor. "You know yourself, as a gen
tleman Of honor, what to do" was But
terworth's reply, intended to be eva
sive. The General, however, took it
to mean that he must kill Key, which
he did.

A YOUNG lady journalist in London,
who was seeking admission to the re-

there was no law or order forbidding
the admission of women to the gallery.
She has shown so much pluck in push

THERE is a mistake current in regard
to the birthplace of the late General
Schenck. 1t is true that while Robert
c. was yet an infant his father re-
moved to Franklin, Ohio, hence the
error. General Schenck's father was
pastor of the old Presbyterian church
at Ballston Center, Saratoga County,
n. Y, and in the old parsonage, yet
standing, on Oct. 4, 1909, Robert c.
Schenck was born. The parsonage was
also the birthplace of another celebrity
the Rev. DIR. Samuel Irenaus Prime,
whose parents were on visit to the
Rev. Mr.. Schenck at the time DR.
Prime was born.

PRINCE WALDEMAR, of Denmark, is
testing new submarine boat, built
after the idea of Jules Yerne's famous
craft. 1t is like fish in form, and can
60 below the submerged chains, in
harbors, can run around buoys, and
can cut cables and wires with the
shears at its keel. 1t is as easy to hang
on the davits of a vessel as a lifeboat
Two men who work the vessel have
stayed in it several hours under water
without feeling Inconvenience. They
take with them a supply of oxygen,
and they can eat their meals quite COM
fortably. The inventor is M. Goubet,
after whom the boat is named.

THE property of less than 100000
men in the United States aggregates
more than the total possessions of the
balance of, say, 100000, if we call
the present population 60,OO0,OO0. In
the State of Michigan, to use a single
illustration, one two-hundredth part of
the population owns 81 per cent of
the real estate valuations, aud this is a
better showing than many States
make. Ten thousand people own near
ly the whole of New York City with its
100000 people. The entire bonded
debt of the United States is held by
1000 persons only, and over go per
cent. of it is in the hands of $4,000
persons.

THE boundary line between the
United States and Canada is not

The fact is the line is distinctly marked
from Lake Michigan to Alaska by
cairns, iron pillars, earth mounds, and
timber clearings. There are 3S5 OF
these marks between the Lake of the
Woods and the base Of the Rocky
Mountains. The British placed one
post every two miles, and the United
States one between each British post.
The posts are of cast-iron, and east on
their faces are the words Convention

Editor DEMOCRAT: We are panied
to write of the sad accident which
happened at this place the 14th inst
j. G. Shinn, a son of S. NJ. Shinn,
was at work on skiff at this place,
and said he was going to ride every
train that passed that day up to the
top of the grade and had done so I'M
til about 7 o'clock in the evening
when freight came along running
about 5 miles an hour. He made
his leap at the rounds of one of the
freight boxes and caught with his
left hand but lost bis balance and
fell to the ground. Some part Of his
clothing caught and he was pulled
under the trucks and the wheels ran
oyer both legs. No one saw the ac-
cident except two Of A. M. Sosbee's
little boys. John Canady was the
first that went to him. Canady says
he was apparently dead, but after
five or SIX minutes he rallied lit
tie. His father was sent for, also,
the doctor. The DR.. got to him in
less than 20 minutes after the acct
dent, but said he was bound to die.
His father said he wanted him taken
home and he was placed in a spring
hack and taken home. He only lv
ed about two hours. He was buried
at Bald Hill cemetery In the presence
Of a large concourse OF people, the
most of whom were his relatives.
The deceased was Is years old,
and young man well thought Of.
S. M. Shinn, his father, is one of
our best citizens, and he and family
have the sympathy of all the CON-
munity.
The boys at this place have been
jumping on the trains for some time.
1t may be they will take warning
from this accident and quit. Ifthey
don't we expect some one else will
go the same way.

AT republican mass meeting,
held at Birmingham, Ala, recently,
to elect delegates to the State con.
vention, the negroes took possession
of the hall by force and announced
that they were going to run things.
They refused to recognize the white
officers of the meeting, called the
white men ''poor white trash," and
ordered them to get out. One color.
ed speaker said that four fifths of
the republican voters in the south
were negroes, and they proposed
to assert their rights and run the
party. A white chairman and secre-
tary were removed and negroes put
in thei- places. Then, with yells
that "the negro was on top and pro-
posed to stay there" they proceeded
to elect delegates and transact the
other business of the meeting. The
white republicans elected another
set of delegates, and will appeal to
the state convention for recognition.
