A Victim of aeterophemy.

A man with rather vacant look and a
hurried air, says the New York Tribune,
evidently a dweller in the suburbs. with
many small errands on his mind besides
his regular business affairs, rushed into a
dry-goodS store the other day and said to
the clerk:
Il went small door-plate. -
Don't keep them, replied the clerk.
Don't keep door plates?'
No, sir.
This is dry-goods store, isn't it?'
''Yes sir"
And you have a carpet department,
eh?''
Yes, sir"
And sell rugs and that sort of thing?"
Yes, sir"
And yet you don't keep door plates p
mo, sir"
"WelI, my advice to you and your en-
ployers, young man., said the suburban
dweler, as he walked out in disgust, lis
to lay in some sort of a complete stock or
retire from the business"
Then he dashed into carpet store, and
asked again for a door plate.
You'll find them at the hardware
stores said the clerk. 1--WE don't keep
them
Il never saw them at hardware stores
in all my life said the puzzled shop

clerk.
So he tried a hardware store in this way
You don't keep door-plates here do
you?"
Certainly we do" said the clerk. ''What
size do you want? Brass or silver?" and
he took down box of them and handed
out one of each kind for inspection.
"What sort of door-mat is that sir?''
thundered the annoyed customer. "Why
don t you pay little more attention to you

THE WAR LIBRARY AND MUSEUM.

THE WAX IlBhAhl AND NUDE UM
Many years ago DIR. H. E. Goodman, of
Philadelphia, surgeon of the Twenty-eighth
Pennsylvania regiment, brought forward
proposition for "a great building to pre-
serve mementoes and relics of the war and
Union soldiers" In 1880 tie Pennsylvania
commandery of the Loyal Legion adopted
his plan, and considerable progress had
been made in gathering the funds when
the Johnstown disaster stopped the work
The state has now appropriated $50, 600, the
commandery agrees to give twice as much,
and on April Is, 1892 the twenty sixth an
niversary of Lincoln's death, the corner
stone of the "War Library and Museum"
will be laid
Another library of great historic interest
Is to have its permanent location in a
building on the exact spot where stood the
house in which ex-senator John j. ingalls,
was born. This is on South Main street,
Middleton, Mass. The two story and
many roomed frame house in which the
Kansas statesman was born still stands,
about a thousand feet from its original
site, and that is now occupied by the Flint
public library building. The new struc-
ture is of composite architecture, 54 by So
feet, one story high and built of brick and
Nova Scotia freestone, with slated roof
and fireproof basement.
Middleton has had public library ever
since 1T72. when seventy-two volumes were
contributed, the mass of the volumes be-

Governor Tilden had one sister and two
brothers. OF the latter, one died many
years ago without issue, but the other,
Henry A. Tilden, left six heirs, and these
contested the will. The governors sister
became Mrs. Mary B. Pelton, and left a
son, the Colonel William 7. Pelton who was
famous in the winter of 1897. He in
turn left one daughter, now the wife of
William A. Hazard, salt dealer. Thus
Mrs. Hazard would, by the law, be heir to
one-half of Governor Tilden's estate, his
six nephews and nieces taking the other
half. But she maintained that his will
provided for all of them with sufficient
hberality and was opposed to the contest.
When it was given out some time ago
that the will would be set aside, Mrs Haz-
ard said, "My honored uncle's will is my
law-the city shall have the larger part of
what I get" So the executors closed at
once with her proposition and paid her
$975, 200. She surrendered to them the resi-
due of her claim, which is at least 81, 900, 900,
and may amount to more as the estate,
valued at s., 900 900 at the time of Governor
Tilden's death, is now worth quite S6000,-
600 and increasing in value. The moral is
self evident. Peter Cooper was his own
executor and Cooper Union is his lasting
monument; Mr.. Tilden, the skillful law
yer, drafted a most elaborate will and it is
set aside But his design will be carried
out and be a lasting memorial of the gen
erosity of his grandniece as we'll as of him.
