only exceptions to an otherwise gen.

President Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Gar

whiskers, pure and simple, was repre-
sented by President Arthur, while
Grover Cleveland enjoys the distinction
of being the only president who wore a
mustache without beard or whislxers.
Upon taking summary the follow

wore smooth faces, four wore beard
and mustache, two wore side whiskers,
one wore beard and side growth, and
one wore mustache alone,

B. B. Hotchkiss's Gun and Scandal.

1 One of the most remarkable men this country has produced was B. B. Hotch- kiss, who died in Paris, a few years ago, after making fortune of five or six mill lions of dollars in the manufacture of re- volving and quick firing guns. Most of his life was spent in Bridgeport, Conn.,, which was his home. The contest over the will of the woman who was called his wife, but never was his wife, is now going on in the surrogate's court, New York.
 Hotchkiss was born fortune builder. He would have got rich in any country in the world. He was great business man-not great inventor, as he is com monly called. He did not originate the inventions out of which he realized his great fortune, but he developed them and forced them upon the attention of the governments of the world. His fa- ther, fine old Connecticut citizen, was still living when the body of his fam ous son was brought home to be buried in Connecticut soil. The old man was a manufacturer of hardware and aB. B., or ssBurk, as he was called, grew up in that business.

LONG HILL.

The Knights of Pythias held their an nual picnic at Parlor Rock on the after. noon and evening of the Fourth and sold beer, as usual. Sheriff Fenelon, armed with warrant, seized several barrels. but not out of sight of the grounds be. fore fresh supply was ordered and beer selling did not stop till II o'clock at night, when the train left for Bridge port. As natural consequence, the lowest and vilest portion of Bridgeport were present in full force and respect able people, who went there to hear the music and enjoy pleasant evening, were obliged to leave. There was no at tempt made to keep order in the rink and firecrackers and torpedoes were thrown in front of skaters and in peoples faces looking on. Drunkenness and low ness walked hand in hand and one could not cross the grounds without being in- suited by drunken loafers. It was a common sight to see boys and even young girls drunk. These beer selling picnics are disgrace to the manage ment, the railroad company and all con cerned. And Long Hill people should rise up and suppress them. It can be done and should be for the good of the community VI One who was there.
