LITERARY NOTES.
A note OF Interest that cannot fail
to set the the women In every
household talking favorably
Of President Harrison
and his wife.

and his wife.
The only picture ever painted by
Presidents wife to be presented to
the public. 1t may not be known to
everyone that Mrs. Ben Harrison is
one of the best of American flower
painters. Since she has occupied
her position of lady of the White
House, however, her public duties
have largely prevented the exercise
of her artistic genius, but in that
period she has found leisure to paint
one of the loveliest representations
of fiower-life than ever came from
an artists brush,--a magnificent
group of orchids on porcelain pam
ell. With that broad and kindly
spirit which has marked her career
she has presented this single pre-
duction of her scant leisure to the
public, and Demorest Magazine has
the honor OF being the medium
through which this painting is off
cred to the mothers, wives, and
daughters of America, to whom ii
is lovingly dedicated.
There is no faint of politics in it:
it is simply the tribute of good
nation, superbly expressed in color
and form,-the foremost woman OF
the Republic cementing, by means
Of her art, her sisterhood with all
others of her sex in the land.
Mrs. Harrison's painting has been
reproduced in the highest style o.
art, of the same size as the Original

EXPERIMENTS WITH cELLuLolsE,
The Navy Department to Test Its Ability
to Keen n Shin from SipLinr

The Navy Department to Test Its Ability
to Keep a Ship from Sinking.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The navy de-
partment authorities have determined to
make some extensive experiments with
celluloise, the new material used in the
construction of Trench vessels for the
purpose of preventing the inflow of
water through holes made by the pene-
tration of projectiles. The United
States steamship Hartford has been de-
tailed for this purpose. The trials will
take place ear Norfolk, Va, where a
large floating tank made of this mater
ial is being constructed. The tank
will be lowed out to a convenient place
in the bay and fred at by the great guns
of the ship. The value Of the test will
be determined by the amount of water
that flows into the tank after several
penetrations have been made by 6-inch
projectiles. The advocates of this ma
terial for the protection of buoyancy
claim that it will be impossible to sink
the tank, as the holes will close up so
rapidly and completely that no apprecia-
BILE amount of water can get in the in.
side. 1t is further claimed that with Il
liberal use of this material as a packing
any vessel a be made unsuitable. The
peculiar properties of the material,
which is composed of the ground fibre
OF the c%ocoanut with the glutinous por-
tons removed, causes it to swell like a
sponge Immediately upon coming in
contact with the water. It also has the
advantage of lightness and of being
practically fireproot.

The President,s Outine,

VIRGINIA BEACH, March a The
presidentialparty was treated to a grand
marine sight Sunday. Old ocean dashed
turiously all day and the foam capped
waves had the appearance of crests of
snow. The president and his family
have kept much to themselves, greatly
to the disappointment of the lady guests.
The president arrived safely at Ragged
island at 1890 and was as comfortable
as high tide would permit. He remarked
that it was the first time he had ever
been to sea in a wagon. Luncheon was
served and q start was made to the
marshes. The president ofthe Ragged Is
land club selected Johns island for Pres.
ident Harrison to shoot; from 4:3O to 6
p. m. he shot quite a number Of canvass
back ducks and demonstrated his ability
as an excellent and sure shot. The
weather was disagreeable, raining
most of the time. The president
showed no signs of fatigue, but en-
joyed the sport amazingly. Commodore
Weaver has ordered the naval post band
here at Princess Anne hotel on Wednes-
day, at the service of the president as
long as he STAYS.

Proposed F. E. & M. v. R. R. Extension.
1t is working strennously to gain a large por.
ton Of the cattle trade Of this section and
ranges further north. Apropos this question
the Omaha Bee has the following: Omaha
needs these cattle. With the large increase
in the capacity Of the South Omaha packing
houses new regions must be opened up to
nome packers, and the territory of southeast
Montana should be naturally tributary to
0 naaa, and would be if she had only the di-
rect rail communication which would be Sc
cured by the extension of the Fremont, Elk
horn 4 Missouri Valley branch of the great
Northwestern system.
The present terminus of the road is at Min
~nescla, South Dakota, a few miles north of
the Belle Fourchc of the Cheyenne. Forty
miles OF the road inexpensive of construction
would bring the terminus within the Montana
boundary.
Colonel L, Butler, United Slater army who
is interested in securing the extension of the
road TO Miles City, because he feels that the
region tapped by the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern naturally belongs to Omaha,
in talking to 4 representative Of the Bee ex-
planned in detail what must be done by Oma-
Ia before she could enter upon the enjoyment
Of her natural heritage, and what fortunes
were in store for her when she did,
In speaking Of the line OF road necessary
TO open the ranges OF southeast Montana to
Omaha manufactures and packers, Colonel
Butler said:
~ preliminary survey was made some
time ago as lar as Powdervillc at the crossing
Of powdcrri on the line Of the present
Dcadwood and Miles City route. This goes
right through the heart of the great cattle

A Natural Sheep Range,

No section Of the globe is better adapted
to the raising of sheep than the country to the
Gust Of the Black Hills including the great
reservation yet unoccupied, Fortunes are
lying loose here awaiting eastern farmers Of
little means to take them in. John Murphy
0 Red Earth called at the UNION office yes
terday. Mr.. Murphy is one OF our most sue
cessful sheep men aad reports his large flock
in better condition than ever before at this
season of the year. He has fed but little hay
but grained them more or less all winter, pul-
chasing screenings at the mills in this city
which cost him fifty cents per hundred deliv-
cred at Hermosa. Many OF his flock would
make good mutton today and all show an
extra healthy growth Of wool. Mr.. Murphy
has 4 portion Of his bunch with Mr.. Lans on
the reservation near the mouth of Rapid
creek and he is loud in his praise Of the reser-
yation as a sheep range. lie says that his
bunch has received no feed this winter and
yet are in as fine condition as the home bunch.

MORTON Tor PRBSIDED7.
Foraker Credited with Engineering
a Boom for the Vice President.
CORN AN is IN THE FIELD.
Senator Gibson's Home Paper Says HI
Would BE the Strongest Eastern Can
didato-The Third Party Want Gres-
ham-Oklahoma Republicans.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Ex-Governo1
Foraker is engineering a presidential
boomfor Levi P. Morton. A statement
sent out to Philadelphia some time ago
that Vice President Morton would not
be a candidate for denomination was
denied with an emphasis that seemed to
show the vice-president was more than
willing to stay in public life. The infer
ence was that he found his present du-
ties quite congenial. Within the last
few days, however, several leading Re-
publicans have been approached with the
suggestion that Morton would make 9
good candidate for president. Whenev-
er the suggestions have been followed
up, Ex-Governor Foraker has been named
as the man engineering the scheme. 1t
may be that Foraker's name is being
used without his knowledge, but he has
been freely quoted in Washington to the
effect that he can carry a majority of
the Ohio delegation to Minneapolis for
Morton for president. Most of the SEN
ators like Mr.. Morton so we'll as a pre-
siding officer that they have declined to
give their support to any scheme that
would transfer him from the senate
chamber to the White House.

No Canse for Com plant.

CHICAGO, March 2.-Chairman Smith:
of the Transmissouri association. has
just decided a case in which the Union
Pacific agent at Trinidad, Colo was
charged with ticketing a party Of Ital-
ians to Turin, Italy, by New York and
the French line of steamers at a cut rate
of So per passenger below the regular
tariff. The chairman decides that there
is no provision in the association agree
Eent under which such a case can be
reached. Steamship tickets, he declares,
are sold by the agents Of all roads in his
territory on a commission as we'll as by
brokers, bankers and other people. They
consequently remit a part or all their
commissions to the passenger agent in
order to secure a party, thus making it
appear that the rates have been reduced.
No good results, he thinks, would be Sc
cured by requiring the railroad agents
to refrain from discounting their com.
missions

ANOTHER RICH STRIKE.

The Alliance Mine Vieing With the caliboga
for Supremacy.
Silver City is rapidly coming to the
front as one Of the most promising min
ing centres in the Black Hills country.
In no other camp has there been discov-
cred so much good paying n as here.
The Caliboga made it famous. but with
development, itlooks as thoughts fame
will soon be eclipsed.
The latest is that the Alliance NINE,
SAID to be on the same belt, shows up
even better than did the Caliboga at the
same depth.
Hearing several people speak OF speci-
mems OF ore which Charley Step had Just
received from the Alliance. a reporter
hunted up that gentleman, who pro
duced what Robert Flormann and other
experts,pronounced the most promising
rock that has been seen here in a long
while. 1t is what ls known ascarbonate
ofiead, with lead and galena chrystals
and is in alarge body. 1t is asserted by
good judges that it will assay sixty per
ccrvleadsand from thirty-ivetoseventy
Eve ounces OF silver.
The discovery has createdquite an ex-
citementin the camp and those rho had
been thinking Of establishing Il concen-
trading plant there, now say that it is
an assured thing.
The Alliance is owned By Tommy
Smith ana DR.. Terry. 1t is located in
Jenng's gulclli Canyon mining district,
c'ose to- whatIis known as the Murray
group.
