"To the people of Ohio:
1T is my sorrowful duty to announce
to the people of the state, the death of
one Of Its most honored citizens, Ruther-
ford 3 Hayes, which occurred on the
night Of the 18th, inst, at his home,
Fremont, Ohio.
1t is fitting that the people Of Ohio
whom he served so long aud faithfully
should take special note of the going out
OF this great life. and make manifest the
uiiectionate regard in which he was held
by them.
His private life was conspicuous for
its purity, gentleness and benevoence
His public services were long and singu.
larly distinguished. In his youth he
held an important official position IN the
chief city of the state. He was among
the FIRST OF Ohio's sons TO offer his SER
vices 10 the cause of the Union in the
late war. In battle he was brave; and
wounds he received I'm defending
his counTy's flag were silent
but eloquent testimonials TO his
gallantry and patriotism and sac.
rihce From major of the Twenty
Third Ohio Infantry he reached the high
rank Of major general of volunteers,
commanding division beloved by his
comrades and respected by all. While in
the feld he was elected TO the national
House Of representatives, but his sense
OF duty impelled him to decline to serve
in congress while the country was i'm.
perilled Subsequently he performed
honorable service IN that body. For two
successive terms he was elected governor
Of Ohio, and after a period of retirement
he was again chosen the chief executive
of his state.
Then the nation called him to the
presidency, and he performed the duties
OF that high Office with dignity, faithful.
ness aud ability. From the conn letion
of his term as president of the United
States until his death he was an exempt
fication of the noble qualities of American
citizenship in its private capacity,
modest and unnssuming, and yet public
spirited, ever striving for the well being
of tine people, the relief of distress. the
reformation of abuses and the practical
education of the masses Of his country.

Lady Hollands Dinners.

1t may not be amiss to mention
that the excellence of Lady Hol-
lands dinners owed very much to
the contributions which she exacted
from guests who resided in places
that enjoyed any reputation for veE-
ison, poultry, game and other edibles.
Somebody having lauded the mouton
des Ardennes ather table in the pres
ence of NJ. Van de Weyer, her lady
ship gave him a commission to pun
chase her some. He sent an order
for half a sheep, which was left at
the foreign office in Brussels, direct
ed to him and inscribed with the
words tres-presse. The clerks, sup
posing that it was a bundle of dis
patches, sent it off by the hands Of g
special messenger Tidings of this
occurrence having been spread fer
and near, NJ. Van de Weyer was
much derided in the Belgian press
for his epicurean tastes. = Gentle

Remedies For Snake Rites.

For anybody who has been bitten

that most Of them unfortunately die

Portuguese characteristics,

The men of Portugal are as foAd of
show as are the women. Their fin.
gers are nearly always loaded with
rings, and about their bodies, which
are often as round as the bowls of
their tobacco pipes, hang chains as
thick as ropes, from which are sus.
pended punches Of trinkets.
The Portuguese dandy is very fond
OF anything that will attract public
attention to his much esteemed per
son. Above his snowy vest he wears
cravat of cleaning colors, while in
his buttonhOle is stuck a full blown
rose Of inordinate size. I think an

Mistakes at a Public Dinner

l have seen some funny mistakes
at big banquets, such. as eating Jelly
and ice pudding with knife and
fork, and even pouring sherry into
the soup under the impression that
it was the sauce.
These blunders are made by the
most ignorant people, who, strange
to say, have the utmost confidence in
themselves, and very seldom think of
waiting to see how the various
courses are negotiated. AS an ex.
ample of this Twill relate an instance
of a guest at the licensed victuallers

finally resorted to the simple expe,
dent of drinking it from the plate,

judge of wine, a boast which received
cool reception from his neighbors
when they saw him squeeze an orange
into his grand old port, presumably
to give it a flavor. London Tit Bits.

Names From Famous Inns.

Many villages in all parts of the
United States have taken the names
of the roadside inns about which they
have grown up, but it is perhaps only
in conservative southern Virginia
that the "ordinaries" for entertain
ment of man and beast have given
names to villages. There is Jenning
ordinary in Nottoway county, Smoky
Ordinary in Brunswick county and
doubtless many others in the same
region. It is here, too, that local
maps immortalize the shopkeepers,
the millers and the blacksmiths of an
earlier generation. Oddly enough.
one looks almost in vain for names
growing out of the bloody struggle
from 1861 to 1866. New York Sun.

Henry put his ticket in his hatbard
and stood himself up when the brief

standing on his toes, and his unava.l
ing efforts to do so made all the pas

The vine is that dwarf variety which

THOUSANDS AT DINNER.

Uniqve Picture to Be Seen ANY Summer
bay In Chicago's Lumber District.
Seven thousand persons at dinner
is one of the sights to be witnessed
daily at Chicago. One may find this
mammoth picnic in progress any
working day during the navigation
season in the great lumber section
lying along Twenty-second street
from Halsted to Western avenue.
This is the seat of the lumber trade
of the country. No city in the Unit
ed States can produce its equal
The territory covered by this indus
try is about three miles long by
from a half to three-cuarters of a
mile wide. There are other sections
OF the city, notably on the North
branch, where much lumber is
stored, yet the southwestern district
is the main lumber region of Chica-
go. This territory contains about
100 yards, there being some so on the
North branch. Nearly 10000 men
are employed in the southwestern
lumber yards during the summer.
They are mostly of the Scandinavian
races and Poles. A few Germans
and lrishmen are among them, but
no colored men are to be found.
AT 11:30 a. m. every day the wo-
men and children begin to flock into
the lumber district bearing the hus-
bands and fathers midday luncheon.
With hardly an exception those who
bear the luncheon bring also a bucket
of beer with them.
When the noon whistle blows at
the planning mills, Twenty-second
street, which is usually very quiet
thorQughfare in this neighborhood,
becomes one of the most populous
avenues in the city. From every
street, alleyway or side track passage
emerge the lumber handlers. AT the
outer edge of the yards they are met
by their wives and frequently two
or three children. Then the family
picks pile of boards and in a jiffy is
at dinner, the bucket of beer occupy,
ing the center of the group.
Lunch over, the men enjoy a social
half hour with their families, i1nprov,
ing the occasion to smoke, as the
practice is notpermitted in the yards
When the 1 o'clock whistle sounds
the great throng melts away as if by
magic.
These lumber hands earn from 81. 25
to S1.75 a day, and from such earn
lngs some of them save enough to
buy comfortable homes, though the
majority of them live from hand to
mouth. Nearly ], 1000, 600, 600. feet OF
pine lumber alone is handled in chi
cago every year, exclusive of the
large trade in hard lumber. Chicago

Authorities on the matter assert
that the face should not be washed
oftener than once q day, and that
the water should never be dashed
over, as is the delightful if reprehen-

women. Very little water should be
used, and it should be applied with a
