How a Fortune Was Started.

Talk of the cholera revived among some
of the older New Workers the story of the
laying of the foundation of very sub
stantial fortune through the visit of the
scourge to this city in the thirties. Not
long before the disease appeared young
man had come here from New England to
see if he couldn't find q more promising
road to wealth in this city than was offered
in his native state. He had very little
money, but he had plenty of grit, and al
though at first the latter did not appear to
be very successful substitute for the for
mer, there came time when nerve meant
big financial returns to its possessor. The
cholera gave this young man his oppor-
tunity.
AS soon as the death list began to mount
up there arose much difficulty in securing
men to bury the victims. Hearse drivers
caught the panic and refused to work, and
the time soon came when any sort of suit
able vehicle was in great demand for the
sad service. Then the young man bor-
rowed or hired horse and wagon and
made it his business to carry the dead to
the grave. High prices were paid, and
while the epidemic lasted he fairly coined
money. When it was over he found him
self possessed of sum which gave him
his start, and in a few years he was what
he sought to be-a rich man.-New York
Times.

FRONT ELEVATION.

three on the second floor. The architect
explains that the house can be built at a
less cost by having four rooms on the
ground floor and four on the second floor,
but the invariable answer is, 1--WE want a
bedroom on the ground floor in case of
sickness" OF course the idea is that one
who is sick requires constant attention,
and that such attention can be more read
lily given to one who occupies a bedroom
on the ground floor. On the other hand,
there is no more inconvenient place to have
bedroom, so far as the care of the room
itself is concerned. On the second floor,
where there is II bathroom, one can get rid
of the slop water and other refuse ftom the
bedrooms by pouring them into the water
closet. With bedroom on the first floor
of the ordinary house, all this has either to
be carried up stairs to the bathroom or into
the back yard, where there is usually no
adequate place to put it.
The plan here given, in Difference to the
demand for IL bedroom on the first floor,
has such a room.
In some respects this plan is a very at
tractive one. There is vestibule, sur

Digging Earthworms.

A man tells how to get earthworms
without digging for them. Take a
strong stick four or five feet long and
sharp at one end and go to some locality,
such as the back of barn, where the
worms are sure to be plentiful. Drive a
stick four or five inches into the ground
with hammer or stone and then begin
to twist it with rotary motion. Every
few minutes hit the top rap to drive
the point farther into the ground and
keep on twisting. In five minutes the
worms will begin crawling out of their
holes, and all you have to do is to pick
them up and put them in your can.-

The wife of a Pugilist.

"Do l like pugilism? My gracious, mol
think it's perfectly horrible businessl
would give anything to have my husband
lead quiet, settled life. But what is one
to dor Mr.. Corbett has gone into the bust
ness, and that is the end of it. 1t is per
fectly awful to think of two men mauling
and manning each other until one or the
other shall be- as they call it, knocked
out think it's horrid, cruel thingl"
And Mrs. James j. Corbett, the famous
pugilist's wife, gave her head decided
shake as she concluded. There was no ut
tempt at affectation, and it was evident
that she was sincere in her utterances Of
dislike against her husbands profession.
She is an interesting young woman, this
petite wife of brawny Jim Corbett, and as
pretty as she is interesting. A pronounced
blond, looking not day older than the
twenty-three years she confesses to, with a
wealth of yellow golden hair piled artistic
ally on a queenly little head, large gray
blue eyes, shaded by long, dark lashes, a
fair complexion and a figure whose con-
tour is perfection, it seemed pretty hard to
imagine her Il prize fighters wife as she
sat in the cozy parlor in a light blue bodice,
with natty polka dot tie plain navy blue
skirt and tiny russell shoes setting off the
comeliness of the young lady.
Corbett's marriage was rather romantic,
in fact included what might be called an
elopement. When the now famous fighter
was one of San Francisco's amateur ath-
letes he met his wife, Miss Ollie Lake
Mr. Lake. Ollie's father, was widower,
who had come to California from Amster-
dam, N. Y, in 1862 when the girl was still
baby in her mothers arms. Miss Lake
was studying for school teachers position
in the state normal school when young
Jim met her. An affection sprang up be-
tween the young folks, but Corbetts par
ents would not sanction an engagement.
The sweeJhearts were perforce obliged to
wait In 1886 Jim travelled to Salt Lake
City to fight Duncan Mcdonald. There
Miss Lake Joined him, and justice of the
peace made them one. A second ceremony
was performed when the happy pair re-
turned to San Francisco. A school teach
er's certificate to the state Normal school
awaited Miss Ollie Lake in San Francisco
while she was being married in Salt Lake
City.-New York World.

corner of the hall, in which may be placed
umbrellas, coats, wraps, ETC., and thus
keep these things out of the hall proper.
Thus the hall forms one of the living
rooms. In one end of it is CRATE and in
another window. Off from this hall is a
parlor, and back of this dining room, and
next to it the room which, for the sake of
principle or tenacity, will now call IL
brary. The china room is properly con-
nected with the kitchen by means of a
china closet or china passage. In this
passage is china cupboard, which has
panel doors below and glazed doors above,
in which to display attractive china.
On the second floor there are four bed
rooms and an alcove If desired one could
use the front bedroom on the second floor
as a sitting room and the alcove for the
bedroom. Each room has it's closet, and
there is an extra closet in the hall for bed

An amateur electrician in Boston has
discoveted new way of heating by elec-

tical, is certainly effective. He has bat
terry fan motor, which he operates by an
incandescent current of Ito volts, taking
up the extra current by introducing a
thirty-two candle power lamp in series. His
original intention was to create cool

ated by the lamp was more than the fan
could take care Of So now he hangs the

Napoleon's Talisman.

Louis Napoleon, who believed himself,
even amid exile and poverty, destined to
that throne which the prestige of his
name and his cunning coup d'etat en-
abled him to reach, was not without his
superstitions. In his will he says, "With
regard to my son, let him keep as tails
man the seal / used to wear attached to
my watch" This talisman had no power
to turn aside the fatal spears of the
Zulus, and the young Napoleon met a
sadder fate than his fathers worst fears
could have imagined for him.-Detroit

GENERAL A. G. WElSSERT
Elected Chief of the Grand

Elected Commander-in-Ch Chief of the Grand
Army.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-The national
encampment got to work early Thurs
day morning and proceeded to dispose
of business with unexpected rapidity.
The resolution which the Ohio delega-
ton was instructed by their depart
ment encampment to present and urge,
to abolish the practice of making the
commander-in.c chief, senior and junior
vice commander of the national en-
campment, and ex-department COM
manders life members of the national
encampnsent, was offered by Delegate
Series. The proposition was supported
by half dozen delegates but met defeat
by an overwhelming majority.
When the election of commander-in-
chief was taken up, General A. G.
Weissert, ex-department commander of
Wisconsin, was put in nomination by
his state and the nomination was Sec
onded by a number of other states
General S. A. Hearst. of Ohio, and
Colonel c. P. Lincoln, of the depart
ment of the Potomac, withdrew, and
General Weissert's election was made
practically by acclamation.
A. G. Weissert was born at Canton,
O., Aug. II, 1874. He was winning
fame at the Milwaukee bar when the
war broke out. AS soon as the tocsin
sounded he enlisted in the Eighth Wis
consin infantry, the "live eagle" regi-
ment Of history, and shared its fortunes
till the battle of Nashville. There he
was grievously wounded, receiving a
bullet Just over the knee which he still
carries. Convalescing sufficiently to re-
join his regiment, he did SO on crutches.
After four years gallant services he
was brevetted captain from the date of
the battle of Lake Chicol, Arkansas,
June 6, 1854, for meritorious service
fight and at the battle of Nashville, on
the 18th December following and for ex-
traordinary bravery throughout the Red
river expedition. He refused the tender
of West Point cadetship by reason of
his wound.
He Joined the Grand Army of the Re-
public at Madison, Wis, in 1865 and has
filled creditably every position from
comrade and officer of the day up to de-
partment commander. He is now q
member of E. B. Wolcott post of Mil
waukee.
The following were the additional Off
GERS elected:
Senior vice commander-R. Fl. War
field, of San Francisco.
Junior vice commander-Ayres, Of
Delaware.
