MRS. RUSSELL HARRISON.
Some Interesting Gossip About the
Wife Of the Presidents Son.
Eyonn thu 8rookJ,n FooJ.

Wife Of the Presidents Son.
From the 6rooEIin Eagle
The dresses worn by Mrs. Russell B. Har-
rison, the daughter-ln-law Of the President,
have attracted much attention in Washing
ton this winter, and some comment, from
the fact that until within two years or 80
her husbands income would not have been
sufficient to provide for expenditures of
such an amount as her costumes must have
cost. 1t has been said that President Har-
rison himself added to his sons income some
thing every year for the purpose of enabling
the women OF his family to make good
showing in society. The fact
of the matter, however, are that
Mr.. Harrison has never given Rus
sell an allowance for dressing his wife, but
owing to fortunate investments Of young
Harrison made through the advice of Sec
rotary of War ElKins, he Is now practi-
cally in independent circumstance. 1t is
said that Russell B. Harrison's connection
with certain New York Illustrated papers
was at first nominal, 50 far as any expendi-
ture Of money upon his part was concerned,
and it is now known that for at least a
year after be joined his interests with those
OF Mr.. Arkell his compensation from him
was only $500 per month. Young Harri-
son is, however, naturally thrifty, and he
has been able by the opportunities offered
him through his fathers official posi-
ton to meet many men of wealth and prom
fnence, who have let him in on the ground
floor on several schemes which have since
turned out proftably. 1t is only fair TO say
that none OF these have had any connection
with government work or have been de-
pendent In any sense upon official favor
Prior to his fathers election to the presi-
dency, Mr.. Harrison occupied a subordinate
position In the mint at Helena, Mont, where
his brother-in-law, young Saunders, was his
assistant An attempt which he made
there TO branch out into cattle raising and
feeding was not at all successful, and his ca
reer in Montana closed leaving him de-
cidedly in a hole with an alleged in
terest in a Montana paper which
has not proved in the hig hest degree
profitable. Russell B. Harrison is. however,
now on the high road to financial prosperity
His charming wife, who is the daughter of
ex-senator Saunders, who is now drawing
$4,000 a year salary on the Utah
mission-a western sinecure-has been
by all odds the most attractive
woman OF the white house, and she has
made prince" Russell many friends in
social and financial circles She is a pro-
nounced blonde Of fine figure, excellent car
rage and superb taste in dress. Mrs. Rus
sell Harrison was for several years the
school mate and confidant of Mrs Mckee,
and it was through their association that
she first met Mr.. Harrison, then son of
United States Senator Benjamin Harrison
of Indiana.

CANALS RUN BY ELECrRICIrY.
a Suggestion That Wires Be Stretched
along the Ohio Waterways.

a Suggestion That Wires Be Stretched
along the Ohio Waterways,
From the Columbus Journal.
There have been many propositions for
the disposal of the Ohio canals, but the one
contemplating the use of electricity as the
motive power, the same as is used for street
cars, is considered the most practical, and it
is certainly o. g Of the most novel SUCCESS
tions of the times. 1t has been proposed at
times to abandon the canals and sell them
out for right Of way to railroads At other
times it has been proposed to widen them
so as to make it possible to convey ships
from the great system of lakes TO the sys-
tenn Of river navigation that could be
reached from the Ohio river.
II poles are stretched along the canals the
same as they are now along the street rail-
ways and a rapid transit established from
Cleveland to Portsmouth; it would certain
ly be a great invention and the public
works of the state would become a for
nidable rival of the railroads. "A rapid sys-
TEN Of navigation from Duluth to New
Orleans may be among the possbili Of
the future, and If such is the case the sys-
tenn Of great lakes aud the Mississippi river
and its contributaries will be connected by
an electric canal system through the state
OF Ohio. What a time that would be for
excursions.

From the hour Of this conversation, Sans
memory came back TO him, unimpaired,
save for two spaces in his history. Up to
the moment at which be had left Matilda in
Melbourne, intending to rejoin her upon the
homeward bound vessel, he recalled the de-
tailsof his career with an almost singular
clearness. Then came a blank Of eighteen
months. and then on again, from the time
OF recovered consciousness until the hour at
which he set out for that Sunday afternoon
ramble which resulted in his encounter with
HetheridRe, he seemed to remember every
thing which had befallen him. Then came
another blank of nearly half year, and
there, as in the former space OF darkness,
memory CROPPED In vain.

A .Laughable Superstition.

GA curious illustration of the value of
superstitions, said Mr.. Kunz, the dia-
mond expert for Tiffany & Co., "was
afforded the other day by a lady who
brought set of opals here for the pur-
pose of selling them. She felt obliged
to part with them on account of series
of misfortunes in her family which she
feared were attributable to the gems,
so notoriously unlucky. On examining
them found that they were merely i'm
itations. A few weeks ago I had in my
possession three seashells which had
been transformed into opal. Their orig
inal limy material had been dissolved
out of the rock by which they were in
closed, and the precious substance was
deposited by water in place of the lime,
retaining the form of the shells. A
graduate of Harvard college bought the
curiosity and presented it to that insti-
tuition. New York Sun,

The Gold Cure Is Very old.

The precious metal has been employed
both externally and internally, in the
metallic state, in solution and by SYM
pathy, for a great variety of the ills that
flesh is heir to, for over 1900 years. The
train of thought which led the ancients
to employ this highly priced material
can be we'll told in she quaint language
of the distinguished Dutch physician and
chemist, Hermann Boerhaave; writing
about 1925, he says: "The alchemists
will have this metal contain know not
what radical balm of life capable Of re-
storing health and continuing it to the
longest period.
what led the early physicians to
imagine such wonderful virtue in gold
was that they perceived certain qualities
therein which they fancied must ba
conveyed thereby into the body; gold,
for instance, is not capable of being de.
stroyed; hence they concluded it mus!
be very proper to preserve animal sub
stances and save them from putrefac-
ton, which is method of reasoning
very much like that of some fanciful
physicians who sought for an assuaging
remedy in the blood of an ass ear by
reason the ass is very calm beastr-
