CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 16.-The army of
the Cumberland marched on Chic
amaugua again to-day under COM
mand of Gen. w. S. Rosecranz. 1t
has been twenty-seven years since the
army had made similar advance and the
men were not informed as to the location
Of the battle field. They found it, how
eyer, and spent a most pleasant day look
ing over the old field and recalling the days
of battle.
Gen. H. V. Boynton delivered the annual
Grafton before the society. and large gath
ering Of citizv's and visitors. Gen. Boyn-
ton reviewed the achiements Of the Army
of the Cumberland, and in SO doing
sought to correct some of the errors OF
history in the memoirs of Grant and Sher-
man by the light of official records recently
made accessible. In doing so he
claimed Tor Buell. the credit Of
saving Grant from the disgrace of
a surprise at Shiloh for Rosecran's
victory at Chickamauga and Thomas sue

mans memory, wherein misrepresentation
concerning the Army OF the Cumberland

an eloquent effort and will, no doubt, at
tract much criticism. The audience re-

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 16.-Over $4,000
people attended the state fair to-day and
tonight the city was crowded. Fireworks
were fired off at the capitol building and
several people were seriously injured by
falling pieces of rockets and taken to their

alter the close Of the fireworks a great
crowd was conyregated on High street. near
the capitol.
In front of the Neil house a miniature
freak named James Leach OF Fairfield
county was giving vocal limitations Of vari-
Gus animals, and crowd wedged about
him. A section Of the pavement gave way
and over fifty persons were prec: pitated to
the excavation below: distance o about
ten feet. 1t fairly created a panic so that
the work OF removing the injured was slow
~ accomplished. They were sent 10 their
homes and to the hospitals as Fast as res

An Unwelcome Visitor.

The farmers OF Illinois are beginning
to feel apprehensive OF visitation of
the destructive army worm Qeucania
unipuncta. The pest has already
put in an appearancein field OF oats
in the vicinity OF Champaign, and
note of warning has been sent out
by the State Entomologist, recon.
mending farmers to be on the watch
for it. The last appearance OF the
dreaded insect in Illinois was in 1883,
when considerable damage was done,
though not SO great as two years be-
fore, when the oat crop of the State
was damaged to the extent ofnearly
a million dollars.
The army worm an omnivorous
devourer of vegetables when abund-
ant, its preference being for small
grains, corn and all grass plants. 1t
appears suddenly in overwhelming
numbers, and marches straight on,
like an army, devouring all before it,
and leaving barren waste behind.
Only a combined effort can stay it's
progress, and farmers should '1end a
hand" to crush it out as soon as it's
presence is discovered. It is to be
hoped that timely preventive mea-
sures will be taken in Illinois.

THE PEACE-LOVING BARBER.
The Wise TonsorlaI Artist Talks,
but Never Argues.

but Never Argues.
Customers who show by their man.
ner that they prefer to be alone with
their thoughts while under the razor
are never annoyed.
A great deal has been said about
the talkativeness OF BARRIERS, but if
those who tried to be funny on that
subject were better posted they would
find a. reason for it other than the
mere loquacity of the barber.
1t is infinitely easier to handle a
customer who is interested in con-
versation. This is particularly true of
a nervous or 6dgety man, vino, if the
operation goes on in silence, becomes
restless and growls at the razor, or OBJ
Jects to the way in which he is being
shaved. The talk takes his mind
away from his face, so that he is often
surprised to find the work finished
when he thought it had scarcely be-
gun.
A barber never gets into an arg1-
ment with his customer. His opinions
veer around like a weather vane to
suit the particular man upon whom
he may be operating at the time. The
conversation dodge is merely one of
the tricks of the trade. OF course,
there are a few younger members OF
the tonsorial fraternity who use little
judgment in talking to customers,
and no one is more amused than their
fellow-barbers when they get q set

victim OF their gable. Bar

Hix.DS OF BRASS,
Three Specimens In History Whlcl
Are Said to Have Talked.

Three Specimens In History Which
Are Said to Have Talked.
Upon the authority of several pas
sages of history, we are led to believe
that the famous wizards, magicians,
and astrologers have constructed not
less thau six brazen, human-shaped
heads thatpossessed all the faculties of
speech. The first of these was the work
OF Monk Gerbert, who afterward be-
came pope with the title Sylvester II.
The head is said to have predicted
that Gerbert would be pope and that
he would not die until he had said
mass in Jersualem. After the first
part of the prophecy had been fulfill
ed, and he had placed the papal tira
upon his head, he resolved to live for
ever by steering clear of Jerusalem.
While saying mass one day in small
church in suburb of Rome, Sylvest-
er was taken with 8 sudden rigor.
Knowing that his end was near, he
asked the rector if the church had
any special name. Being informed
that it was properly called "Jerusa-
lem," he closed his eyes and died with
in an hour.
The second "brazen.speaking head
was made by one Robert Grosseteste,
an italian bishop who resided in Eng
land between theyear 1175 and 1923.
The third is said to have been the re-
suit OF 80 years. labor on part of the
astrologer, Albertus Magnus, who
was born in the year 1905.
Friar Bacon, who died 1884, is
the credit OF having made head of
brass which constantly repeated the
words: "Time's come, times here,
times past" The marquis OF Vilena
-l394:l434-also made q speaking
head ofsheet brass. A Polish disciple
OF Estello made the sixth and last
mentioned OF the famous "talking
heads OF BRASS"
