The important fact is brought
across the Atlantic that Alfonso

years old on the 18th, is very obsti-

not get it he flies into rage. In this
last respect he is not unlike his big

John Gibson celebrates his 1880

John Gibson Celebrates His 123d
Birthday, mary Mcdonald, 116.
John Gibson, an inmate of the home for
aged and infirm colored persons, Belmont
and Girard avenues, passed his one hun
dred and twenty-third birthday yesterday
at the home, and is probably now the old
est man alive. John has a wonderful te-
nacity of life. can get around with ease and
always has good appetite. He was one
of the first inmates who was attacked dur
ing the late grip" epidemic in the home
and almost the first on his feet again.
He was born in Virginia, and says he is
one of family Of twenty-five children, but
all of whom he lost sight of, as the family
was broken up by a slave sale many years
ago.
Another inmate, named Mary Mcdonald,
has now reached the age of 112 years, and
is probably the only woman alive who saw
General Washington and conYersed with
him at Valley Forge. Mary recOllects the
incident well. She was living with the
family of Rees Howell at the time. She
can see to sew without glasses, and has
just finished a quantity of rags for a carpet.
Mary gets up every morning at 6 O'Clock,
and has seldom missed a meal at the tables
except during the "grip" epidemic. Her
earpet-rag sewing was an object of attention
at the Washington exhibition a short time

A person usually desires to gain some in
formation as to the most desirable route to
take, and will purchase tickets via the one
that will afford him the quickest and best
service. Before starting on a trip to
Chicago or any point east, you should pro
vide yourself with map and time table of
the Wisconsin Central lines. The trains
run on this route are vestibuled and are
equipped with Pullman's latest drawing
room sleepers, elegant day coaches and
dining cars of latest design, built expressly
for this service, and are exquisite in furn-
ishings and convenient and comfortable in
arrangement and so complete in every
detail that they have no superior in COM
fort and elegance. The dining car service
is pronounced by all the most elegant ever
inaugurated, and is operated in the interest
of its patrons.
Fast trains via the Wisconsin Central
lines leave Minneapolis daily at 12:45
pm. and 6:25 p. m, and st. Paul at 1:3O
pm. and 7:l5 p. M, making favorable con-

A SAD ACCIDENT.

A poor negro woman was walking along

aged about six and ten. Probably she
was a little hard of hearing or else the

Edison, George Gibson, Isadore Saks and B. H.
Warner. This was known as the hustling COM
mittee, for the reason that they not only hustled
themselves, but inspired others with the same
spirit. The result Of this energetic work was
soon manifest. The subscriptions rolled up,
and at meeting held few days after the first
meeting-namely, on the Goth of June-it was
announced that $4,000 had been subscribed.
Perhaps this city may not boast quite as much
as some Others, but, all the same, when it starts
IN to accomplish any object it generally gets
there, and In good style. too.
After while 1t was found that q more per-
manent organization was needed. and so on
the 9th Of July the ''hustling committee was
enlarged and the name was changed to the
more dignified one OF citizens general COM
mittee. The members of this committee were
as follows: X A Parke, chairman; Geo. Gibson,
:. b. Hege, Thomas Somerville, H. P. Gilbert,
Louis ID. Wine. o. G.. Staples, NJ. /. Weller, E.

system by which it WAS possible to care for
individuals as well as for organizations. The
preliminary steps were taken at meeting of
the general committee held September &c. when
Mr.. John Joy Edison was elected chairman of
the citizens executive committee and Mr.. Har-
rison Dlngman secretary. Events have justified
the wisdom Of this choice. The chairman, Mr..
Edison, is not only one Of the leading
business men Of the city, but he is a member Of
the Grand Army. To this work Mr.. Edison has
given his fine executive ability, and his wide
perience as business man with devotion and
an unselfshness that cannot be too highly COM
mended. He has gone into this work with all
the energy which has made him successful in
business and he has mastered the details Of this
gerat undertaking, and with firm yet patient
hand he has guided the affairs of the committee
to an issue that reflects credit the city and is
a magnificent tribute to the organization for
which all this effort has been made. He has
had the loyal support of the officers and mem
bers of the committee.

From the beginning it was realized that if the
encampment met here it would bring to-
gether larger number of Grand Army men
than had ever before attended one of these an
nual reunions. This expectation has been fully
sustained Perhaps no city ever undertook such
q task, and il NAV be said without vainglory
that there Is no city that is more competent.
This Is true not so much because
Of the wealth here, but for the reason
that there is public spirit which
Is equal to emergencies and a degree of gener-
osity in contributing money and a willingness
to give time and labor on the part of the citi-
that constitutes a splendid example of
municipal pride and enterprise. There was no
impossible claim made on the part of Washing
ton by its representatives, but the Grand
Army men were informed that they would re-
ceive hospitable welcome ard an entertain
ment while here that would be worthy of the
grand organization and the CAPITAL of the ma

shows how well those promises have been
carried out, and as the program of the enter
