IS

An Appeal For Philip Victory, Blind
Veteran.
Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
I wish to call the attention of the
people to the misfortune of a poor blind
soldier, by name Philip Victory. For
thirteen years his application for PEN
sion has been pending, and he has only
received $12 month for the past three
months. Everybody knows that $12 a
month cannot support blind man. He
is under my charge, being a cousin of
mine and am obliged to look after his
welfare. Nazaire Dauphinais, Henry
Rodier and Andrew Lapointe have been
appointed a committee to make acollec-
ton for him, if the government or
Grand Army will not support him. ]
think it is the Grand Army that is
against him. This is my own publish
ing; next time he will make his own
statement. A man who has enlisted
twice of his own free will to protect the
government; who has stood under the
great American stars and stripes; who
was as brave as any soldier, but who ii
terribly afflicted, should not be allowed
/ to suffer in want.

CENTER DISTRICT MEETING.
The Bouffard Prop eIty on Bank sire
to be Purchased.

The Bouffard Prop eIty on Bank stree
to be Purchased.
About two hundred people were
gathered in the district court room last
evening at o'clock when School Clerk
Thomas J. Moran raped for order and
read the notice for special meeting of
the voters of the center school district.
Gordon B. Lawrence was made chair
man. The object of the meeting was
again stated, and the following vote
read by the clerk:
"Voted, that the center school dis
trict committee be, and hereby are
authorized to purchase the Alexander
Bouffard property, adjoining the Bank
street school, on Bank street, at a price
not to exceed a, 800"
Representative SAKE moved the pas
sage of the vote.
Joseph Corr desired, in view of the
action of the district committee in
awarding a contract to a man whose bid
was 81 500 more than another bidder,
to amend the motion SO that a commit
tee of three be appointed to appraise the
property and report to the meeting at
some future time.
P. j. Donahue thought that forty feet
of the Bouffard property would be
enough to purchase.
NJ. F. Connolly seconded Mr. Saxe's
motion, that the whole property be pur
chased.
Mr. SAKE spoke at some length in ex
PLANTATION of his motion, saying that MI
Bouffard had plans made which would
cover the whole lot, eighty feet front
and that buying a portion of the lane
would not help the matter, but rather
make it worse, as then the building
would have to be made so much higher

The motion was called for and wa
carried with only four or five objecting

.SHERMAN'S SCOOP.
HE WILL SIT In HIS OLD SEAT In
THE SENATE.
Foraker Found Hfs Foreman Fixed
for the Fight With More Than a
Meager Majority.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. Though highly
elated, the supporters of John Sherman
showed no marked symptoms Of hilarity
when the first ballot showed that that dis
tinguished man had succeeded himself to a
seat in the United States Senate.
Foraker, his most persistent and danger
GUS opponent, backed by all of the young
republican blood in the state, failed to
make anything like favorable finish after
the immense efforts and untiring enthusi-
asm Of his hackers. He received thirty
eight votes to fifty-three for Sherman.
The disastrous rout was undeniable and
most depressing to the supporters of the
frey Foraker but they dissembied fairly
we'll by meeting the inevitable with IN
broken front and loudly asseverated asser-
tsons Of their faith in the ultimate future
success of their idol.
Senator John Sherman is Ga years Of age
and with the expiration of the four years
term to which he has just been elected, he
will have completed the incompatible
record OF having served fOrty-four years
continuously in the senate of the United
States
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 7.-Senator Sher-
man received hundreds ofcallers during the
morning, who came to extend congratula-
tions for the victory he won. He left for
Washington about noon. Ex-Governor

noon, In a conversation he expressed
himself grieved and disappointed over the

On the Elevated Road.

~. :. Recorder: a large, bleached
blonde, hashily attired boarded the eleyat-
ed car at West 93d street. She was accom-
panied by a sweet faced, blue-eyed. nicely
dressed girl about years of age. The
mother carried silver-mounted, long
handled parasol and her left hand was
heavy with diamond rings, long mar
qulse on her middle finger and four other
joining their glittering company with that
massive piece ofjewelry. Her right hand
was gloved, but the member CARRYING the
stock Of jewels was bare, and was kert
busy manipulating the brooch at her
throat, the child's hat, or the head of the
parasol The little one had found some
amusement looking out of the window.
when, as the train came to halt at 72d
street, she looked moment at her mother
and said loudly:
"Oh, mamma, you got too much pow
der on your nose
A scowl only, and the handkerchief was
brought out to slyly wipe away the surplus
powder, while the passengers smiled. A
moment later, the child. closely scanning
the handkerchief and then her mothers
lace, remarked in her shrill tones:
ON, mamma, you rubbed nearly all the
red off your lips that time ~
The artificial dame, blushing through
her coat of facial paint, admonished the
youngster, with smart slap, to not call
any further attention to her makeup, and
hurriedly made her exit at 59th street.

An Aztec Land.

Courier-J Journal: One Of the queerest
discoveries reported recently is that of an
Aztez city, with stone buildings and pop
ulation Of fonr or five thousand, perched
among the mountains in an almost impen-
etrable portion of southwestern Mexico.
Probably the explorer has been drawing, at
least partially, upon his imagination, but
II offers suggestion of the rich treasures
that Mexico has been waiting to have un-
earthed. Large portions of the republic
are unknown, and it is said that branches
Of the Aztec race are living here and there
with precisely the same customs and ciyili-
cation that existed when Cortez conquered
the country, with laws and government
of their own.
Thus Mexico offers a most interesting
field for the explorer, as he finds there not
alone mountains and rivers and lakes and
forests, but curious and interesting people
as well. A great deal will be added to hu-
man learning when full accounts Of the
Aztecs OF the present and past are OBJ
tanned. Scholars still lament the blind
ness and prejudice of the Spanish priests
who burnt the picture-written books of the
Aztecs because they were the work Of hea-
thens and idoliters for with them the COM
plete history of the Aztecs and the exact
time and manner of their coming into
Mexico might have been ascertained long

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
A Chance for Young Men and Women
in the State of Washington.


| Pullman Herald: We wish to call the
attention Of all young men and women
who, during the winter months, have no
especial occupation, to the excellent op-
portunity offered by the agricultural col
lege of passing the time most pleasantly
and profitably in the pursuit of some one
or more branches of study. All of the
common school subjects will be taught,
and also such other subjects as are adapted
to the needs Of those who come. An cleo
ton of subjects such as book keeping,
higher arithmetic, algebra, geometry rhe-
toIic, physical geography, physiology COM
pleted. English literature, physics, ETC., will
be offered for those who may wish to pur-
sue or review some special line of work and
have not the time or inclination to take
the full college course. There will be no
charges for instruction as the tuition is
free. Here IS an opportunity that every
boy and girl in Whitman county, who is
not attending some goodsschool, ought to
improve For those who come from a dis
tance board and rooms in private families
can be had at reasonable terms. Those
who enter the school now will be brought
in close touch and sympathy with the fac
ulty, and in future years will be looked
up 10 as the pioneers Of the college. As
soon as the general government ap-
preparations are secured there will be a
student labor fund from which the
college can pay students for occupa-
tions in and about the buildings and on
the farm. In this way many Of the stu
dents can earn sufficient means to pay all
expenses. The present building will ac-
commodate only about SO students, and
those intending to attend the opening
should give their names to the president.
The school will be opened with faculty
Of six experienced and able teachers, and
as the attendance will be limited, the
teachers will be enabled to give personal
and individual attentionand sympathy to
backward in their studies. Such aid can
not be given to them in an oyerworked and
crowded school.
