HOW APUZZLE WAS SOLVED,

When you want certain article, you want
the best make of that article don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear Of one puz.
zle that has been solved for the people OF
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition of 1889 at
Paris France, the best sewing machines Of
the world. including those of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by q
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers OF France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler G.
Wilson machines were the best Of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize Of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as a further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr.
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion Of
Honor, the most priced honor of France
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor of the No. and No. 12 Wheeler 4
Wilson machines.
The No. 8, for family use, and the No. 12,
for manufacturing uses, are the best in the
world to-day.
And now. when you want sewing ma
chine, if you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault.

AFTER MISS BLAINE
Clerk Markle Wants to Wed
the Secretary's Daughter. 3
WRITES TO HIM TO THAT EFFECT.
BE Has Also Annoyed Other Cabinet
Members With Queer Epistles.

The Secretary OF State Brings the Matter
to the Notice of the Commits on
Lunacy- An Inquiry Into His Sanity
viii be Made Next saturday MarISIo
Says He Does Not Know what the
Charges are Based Upon-Always Re-
garded as Eccentric.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Ozias j. Markle
wants to marry Miss Hattie Blaine.
Markle is a clerk employed in the War
Department, and came here from Massil-
lon, o. He is good-looking and about 80
years of age. He wrote a number of
letters to Secretary Blaine. In one of
them he requested Mr.. Blaine to accord
him an interview in his library and in
troduce him to his daughter, whom he
expressed great desire to marry.
Influenced perhaps by the recollecti on
of the man who pursued Mary Anderson,
and the more recent instance of Miss
Helen Gould's unbalanced admirer, Mr..
Blaine brought the Communication to the
attention of the authorities.
Investigation made by Inspector Frank
brought to light other letter writing
episodes of Markle's career. 1t was found
that he had been annoying other mem
bers of the Cabinet with strange letters,
and had written in a queer vein to other
prominent men in the city. Jass
These epistles indicated an unbalanced
mind, and the authorities concluded that
1t would be best to hold an examination
in the case, if nothing more was done.
Mr.. George Hazleton, attorney for the
District of Columbia, issued a summons
for Mr.. Markle to appear before the Com
mission on Lunscy, and show cause why
he should not be consigned to an asylum.
The Commission met but Markle failed
to appear. The Commission adjourned
after deciding to repeat the summons re-
questing Markle to come before them.
Markle was arraigned in court and the
case postponed until next Saturday. L
"When l received the summons to
appear thought it must be a joke, he
said. "After thinking it over 1 CON
suited lawyer and was told that / need
not appear at the court unless l wished
to. l cannot imagine who instigated
this, but am sure it was not friend.
have no idea what the charges are based
upon. / have been away from my office
since the 21st of December on account of
sickness, and perhaps that has something
to do with it, ii-.aa e
When the letters were mentioned he
gave evidence of no surprise.
The people at Markle's boarding place
said that he had always been regarded
as eccentric, but his sanity had not been
questioned. They said he was always
| very reserved and quiet, and frequently
would refuse to speak to acquaintances
when he met them. Markle, it is said,
has aspired to the hands of the daughters
of other Cabinet officers, sending them
the same kind of letters that were ad-
dressed to Secretary Blaine.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-From present indi,
cations the funeral of the Rev Charles
II. Spurgeon, promises to be the most re-
markable, Of the noteworthy funerals
which have taken place in and about
this city recently The funeral of the
late Duke of Clarence and Avondale was
a half royal and half military funeral
the funeral of the late Cardinal Manning
was magnificent attribute to the mem
ory of a Prince of the Roman Catholic
Church whose good deeds had made him
admired by all, but the funeral of the
Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon seems likely
to be spontaneous Outpouring of the
Protestant masses of certain popular
denominations forming a third of the
three great chapters in funerals lately
unfolded to the public.
The body arrived at Newhaven at a.
m. Over |. 500 people in spite of the cold,
damp morning and early hour, had there
assembled to meet the remains of the
great preacher The latter were enclosed
In beautiful olive-wood, electro plated
collin, containing leaden shell in which
was the body. The coffin itself, d urng
the journey from Mentone, was enclosed
in rough packing case or outer casket
OF plain white wood. This outer shell
was hastily nailed and screwed together
and then strengthened with several turns
of cording. Upon the arrival of the body
at Nowhaven this outer covering of wood
and cord was removed from the
coffin on the quay, whereupon the
assembled crowd rushed for the wood
and cord of the packing case and almost
fought for scraps of it to preserve In
memory of the departed preacher.
/ The Rev Mr. Lloyd, Congregational
minister, then called upon the crowd to
preserve order and, eventually, he led
them in singing a hymn, The coffin,
later on, was placed on board funeral
car and started for London.
Upon its arrival at the London Bridge
Station an immense crowd of people had
assembled and witnessed the placing of
the coffin in plain hearse which awaited
the arrival of the remains. All stood
uncovered as the transfer was made and
as the hearse was slowly driven away,
followed by about a dozen mourning
carriages, in the direction of the Taber-
naole.
SO dense was the crowd at that place,
that 1t was found necessary to take the
body to. an adjacent park, Remington
Common, where the masses defiled be-
fore the coffin and impromptu services
were held and many extemporaneous
addresses were made by various pastors
and college officials; there was no organ
lied ceremony, however.
The funeral proper will be held on
Thursday, and the body will lie at the
Tabernacle until Wednesday night.
