GEN. BANKS SAD STATE.
The sBobbin Boy of Massachusetts
Mental Wreck.


Gen. Nathaniel p. Banks was discov-
cred Friday night in an electric car which
runs from Boston to Lynn. Mass, in a
dazed condition. Passing through Lynn
the conductor notified Superintendent E. C.
Foster of the railroad, and was instructed
to transfer Gen. Banks to a returning car
at the end of his trip in swampscott.
From Swampscott the general was sent
back to Lynn, where he was met by Spe-
cial Policeman Valentine, who escorted him
to train on the Boston and Maine rail-
road. and accompanied him to his home,
in Waltham.
1t was learned that the general. who has
become as helpless a child in his old age,
and does not travel without an attendant,
became separated from his man while in
Boston among the crowds of Christmas
shoppers 1t is probable that two young
men from Chelsea befriended him, and,
understanding that he wanted to go to
Lynn. assisted him aboard the car.
Gen. Banks was born in Waltham Janu-
airy 30, 1916 He was admitted to the bar
in 1919. and was elected speaker of the
state assembly in 1851, also in 1853. He
vas elected to Congress in 1853 as a coali-
ton democrat. He served several terms in
Congress, and was elected speaker of the
House. He was three times the governor
Of Massachusetts. He served in the army
during the war.

The Next Big Exposition.

Paris Letter to the London Telegraph.
The site of the exhibition Of 1900 has been
definitely selected. At the meeting of the
subcommittee especially appointed to settle
the question 1t was decided that the Champ
de Mars. the Trocadero, the Esplanade des
1nvalides. the Quai d'Orsay, the Palais de
rIndustrie and the surrounding ground
should all be devoted to the great worlds
show that is to be held here at the close OF
the century, and that the banks of the Seine
should be further connected by a bridge TO
De constructed between the Pont de Ia Con-
corde and the Pont des Invalides.

problem has been solved, that all the men,
bers or the subcommittee who attended the
meeting We're in favor of this choice, NJ.

that the distance from the center of the
metropolis would be too great and the Par
Islam tradesmen, fearing that a smaller
number of visitors would thus be attracted
to this city, also made their voices heard
with good effect. One by one the subcom-
mittee were brought around to the opinion
that the old site was, after all the best
and the resolution at which they have ar

Mighty Mean.
ptroit Free Press

From the Detroit Free Press
He had offended her by some stupid act OF
his and she had vowed vengeance
Yet he loved her just the same, and she.
the enchantress, made herself lovely to him
and he was blind.
He knew that woman-like she would for
get her harsh words and forgetfulness was
forgiveness.
So the days crept into weeks and the
weeks into months, and one evening he
asked her to be his.
oh, George" she murmured, as she top
pied over into his arms. and that was all
George wanted to know.
The summer faded and the autumn grew
upon the stem.
There were the fragrance of orange bios
SONS. the rich notes Of the organ, the soft
voice of the marriage celebrant and the
twain were one.
Two hours later they were alone.
He would have kissed her, but she stood
him off.
Mr.. Smith, she muttered hoarsely. II
swore once to be avenged. Today my VOW
Is kept You are my husband"
That was all.
George thought it was a joke then, but
after five years of being Mrs Smiths hus-
band he knew what woman's vengeance
might be and was.

Africa and Acquired Coctly knowl-
edge.
One of the most curious expeditions ever
planned by man was that once undertaken
by DR. J. G. Bunting of Portland. says the
Lewiston (Me) Journal During all his life
he had been a close student of the philoso-
ply of digestion, and for the purpose OF his
investigations he had that remarkable Cana
dian, Alexis st. Martin. in his care for
twenty years. In order to clinch matters
and provide facts for some OF the doubling
Thomases DIR. Bunting cast about for some
one else upon whom he might continue to
experiment He could think OF but one
plan. and that was to go into Africa buy
two slaves and operate upon their stom-
achs. BY opening the body near the fifth
rib and perforatirg the stomach condi-
ton could be produced similar to that ex-
listing in the person Of st. Martin. There
fore the doctor purchased his supplies and
sailed across to Tunis, in the north OF AZ
RIGA. There he hired native CHIEF with
forty OF his followers. paying them a lib
eral retaining fee and promising them al
Turing largess when the trip should he
ended. They set forth. The doctor carried

probably lay awake four nights thinking
about the matter At any rate. On the fifth
night he sneaked into the doctors tent ana
OF two pistols When he had concluded the
doctor passed over his ducats and the CHIEF
passed over the border along with his rene

supplies as suited their artless and unen-

FAST STEAMERS IN DOCK.
Poor Business on the Liners Lays UI
Many GreyhOunds.

A New York dispatch says:
The transatlantic steamship lines, as is
their custom for the winter, are docking
| their express steamers. Some have already
done so on account Of the unusual light
ness of transatlantic travel this winter.
These express steamers are very expensive
to run and quickly become Improbable
when travel greatly diminishes. They are,
therefore, retired as soon as this is MOTTO
ed, and advantage is taken Of their being
idle to overhaul them for summer business.
This preparation for the summer has to be
done anyway at some time or other in the
year.
Travel has fallen off particularly toward
the places of least popular interest. The
Anchor Line found 1t necessary to with
draw the City of Rome early in November
1t is now announced that the Furnessia
is also withdrawn. travel to Glasgow prov
ing unexpectedly light. The Cunard Line
steamers Campania and Lucania were
withdrawn early this month and are now
In dock. They will probably not be seen in
New York again much before May. The
| schedule of sailings for January and Feb
ruary announces no sailings Of these ocean
| racers
Much interest is taken in the coming
make Up of the schedule Of this line for the
next year. as it is believed a change will be
made In the time of the sailing Of these
steamers from Queenstown, so that their
passengers may gain the full advantage of
their speed, and not be detained, as was
frequei thy the case during the past fall,
Tor twelve hours more, on the steamer
at quarantine. or outside the bar at Sandy
HOOK, on account Of arriving after sun
down.
The French Line also withdrew its ex-
press steamer early in November La
Iouialne will not depart again from this
port until March II. The American Line
steamers are running as usual But the
New York will be taken Off for repairs i'm
February and will remain at her dock for
month at least. The Paris will be taken
on In March. and will be absent for the
same length of time. The North German
Lloyd Steamship Line, as well as the Ham
ourg-American Line, employ their express

the Mediterranean service in winter Trims

Gibraltar or Algiers are reported to he
very popular this year, the bookings for
sailtngs after the holidays being unusually
heavy.
Most of the express steamers of both
tnese lines have been or are about to be
repaired. But single trip will be missed
IN consequence. The Havel of the North
German Line having been severely buff
feted by the sea in recent storms. and in
consequences much damaged. has made her
