development. 1t was the first Journal in
the United States TO have a woman for
editor, the first to employ stenographer
to report the proceedings of congress, the
first to have special riders TO bring in the
latest news, and the first to publish the
'Star Spangled Banner" and the official
copy of the Declaration of Independence.
In 1853 Mr.. Charles E Fulton became
the leading spirit In the management, and
made the paper what it was till his death,
in 1883, when his son-in-law, General Felix
Agnus, became sole trustee and publisher
He had already been the financial manager
Under his management The American
now celebrates It's one hundred and eight
eenth birthday with magnificent trade
edition, illustrating the progress of Balti-
more and the paper. General Agnus has
had history which seems all romance in
the early part, and all practical business
sense and success in the latter half, as he
has fought in the wars of his native and
adopted country, and was brigadier gen.
eral at twenty-six.
He was born July 4, 1889, at Lyons,
France, but was reared chiefly in Paris.
At the age of thirteen he went on his trav-
els, visiting the most noted places south Of
the equator and Mountaineering the
globe. In 1859 he volunteered in the French
Zouaves and served in the Italian war In
1860 he removed to the United States and
took a place in Tiffany's jewelry store in
New York, but on the first signal of war
volunteered in Duryee's Zouaves. He was
soon promoted to lieutenantcy for con-
spicuoQs gallantry, and fought his way up,
rank by rank, to the One Hundred and
Sixty-ffth New York, or Second Duryee
Zouaves. He greatly distinguished himself
at Port Hudson and elsewhere in the south
west. In the campaign of 1864 in Virginia,
he won high honOrs, and near the close of
the war was brevetted as brigadier gen.
eral. On Dec. 10, 1864, he married Miss
Annie E., daughter of Mr.. Fulton, of the
Baltimore American, and has ever since
been identified with that paper

times. In no feature of the masculine en-
semble has there been greater strides made
than in neckwear. This is the one espe-
cially decorative feature with which the
dizziness Of the makeup may be lightened.
1t is the particular texture from the femi-
nine vocabulary yet vouchsafed to man.
In quality, style and pattern the neck
dressings of men have been elaborated to a
degree that would not have been deemed
possible decade ago.
The care and Judgment devoted to theiF
manufacture has developed the observance
of certain amenities in the construction
and wearing of the later day examples.
The self tied soaring has become the
leading style for men of fashion, and the
madeup effects are only tolerated when
they faithfully follow the knots that may
be made by the wearer from the straight
piece of fabric. So strong has this cult
become fixed in the public mind-and it is
a refined one-that the scarfmakers are
now devising methods by which those that
havenot mastered the knack of tying the
scarf after it has encircled the neck may
form the knot themselves before adjusting
it. There is an etiquette of scarfpin wear
ing that must be faithfully adhered to or
the wearer rated as out of chime with the
fashion edicts of the day.
The collar passed through two seasons

! have in mind the prevalent high back,
turnover effect. 1t is the one article of
mems wear that England has ever deigned
to take from an American source, and
there it is having a most remarkable sue
cess. Its comfort consists in the fact that
the turnover edge is more agreeable in feel
ing to the neck, and its dressiness is appar-
ent in that it comes up, as does the stand
ing collar, a requisite distance above the
collar of the coat at the back. And yet
the mems fashion writer that issues the
pronunciamentos in that authentic peri
odical, The Clothier and Fur1isher, advo-
Gated the adoption of such a collar for two
years before it was taken up by one of the

\ stimulant to the Gas Industry.

Many Of those who were interested in
the manufacture and sale of gas in this
country have been much exercised by
the threatened suppression by the cleo
tric light Of the older illuminant; but
there is now every reason TO believe that
instead of injuring the gas industry, the
introduction Of electricity for illuminat-
ing purposes viii stimulate it 10 an I'M
limited extent.
Not only has the fact been established
that the superior brilliance of electric
light in streets and stores where it is
used calls for more light in competitive
situations, where gas alone is employed,
but it has been demonstrated that the
use of gas in engines as a motive power
to drive electric light machinery will
produce from five to six times the light
that could be obtained by burning the
same amount of gas in the ordinary way
through burner. A new field has thus
been opened up for gas companies to
work, in which the electric light will be
their ally instead of their competition

six Things a Bov Ought TO Know,

First-That quiet voice, courtesy and
kind acts are as essential to the part in
the world Of gentleman as of a gentle
woman.
Second-That roughness, clustering
and even foolhardiness are not manli-
ness. The most firm and courageous
men have usually been the most gentle.
Third-That muscular strength is not
health.
Fourth-That a brain crammed only
with facts is not necessarily a wise one.
Fifth-That the labor impossible to the
boy of IA will be easy to the man of 90.
Sixth-That the best capital for a boy
is not money, but love of work, simple
tastes and a heart loyal to his friends
and his GOd.-Youth's Companion.

why not; The present style Of collar is
heating, and very apt for that reason
and on account Of its roughness TO cause
sores on the neck Of the horse Zinc
collars have been tried. with what re-

that a wooden collar might be made

Spelling is an art which occasionally is
lost art" even to the natural speIler.
The way in which it eludes the pens and
vanishes from the brains Of its pursuers,
deserving the inveterate letter writer and
the child in spelling match at the time Of
greatest need, is really surprising.
We all know the sensation of uncertain
IL as 10 whether we have spelled a COM
mon word correctly, because it 'looks
queer" on paper, and any one who has had
experience with the various letter games
which are so popular with some people,
knows how quickly one begins to feel that
almost any combination of letters must
spell something.
One Of the quickest witted journalists of
a certain ciSy had proved himself quite a
wonder in the way of anagraIn guessing
one rainy day among a party of people
housed in a country Eotei.
At last one of the lockers on picked W.
five letters from the heap on the table and
handed them to him. saying. "Of course it

from these
To the amazement Of those who were
watching his feats of ortfography the five
letters absolutely deGed his efforts to ar
range them in such way that they spelled
anything; at last, when he had looked at
them and worked over them 50 long that
he had grown TO feel as If there was some
thing uncanny about them, they suddenly
took their proper positions in the following
Order-c-o-u-l-d.
Just Is the lockers on were about TO con-
graduate him, however, be swept them
