AN authority on woods says that
many people suppose that rosewood
take its name from its color, but this is
a mistake. Rosewood is not red, nor
yellow. but almost black. It's name
comes from the fact that when first cut
it exhales a perfume similar to that OF
rose, and although the dried rosewood
of commerce retains no trace of this
early perfume, the name fingers as a
relic of the early history of the wood.

have united interest in children in

vices Simple-President-El Cleveland
Attends.
FREMONT, O., Jan. 2L-Thousands of
persons, many of them the most distin-
guished in nation and state, gathered
here Wednesday to pay the last tributes
to the memory of the late ex-President
Rutherford B. Hayes and to participate
in the services for the dead.
The winding roadway through the
grounds of Spiegel Grove, the home of
the departed, had been cleared of snow
and all morning thousands passed in
continual procession up to the mansion
to look upon for the last time the face
of the man SO often honored by his fell
low men, while over public buildings,
churches, stores and many private resi-
dences the American flag draped and
bound with black hung motionless in
the frosty air and every building bore
emblens of mourning.
President-elect Grover Cleveland ar
rived at 11:25 o'clock over the Lake
Shore. He was accompanied by his
private secretary. The train was two
hours late and a great crowd had as
sembled to see him Company K of the
Sixteenth regiment was drawn up in
two lines extending from the train to
the carriage. Between these lines,
leaning on the arm of Col. III. C. Corbin,
he marched. followed by Webb and

Herr arrested.

PARIS, Jan. 2L-The sole topic of con-
versation in the chamber Hobbies has
been the arrest of DIR. Herr. The pros
pect of his return to France and the
possibility that he will reveal the evil
dence which he holds against conspicu-
Gus politicians and financiers have ex-
cited general apprehension. Outside
the royalist and socialistic circles the
arrest is regarded with feeling closely
akin to panic. The gravest fears exist
on account of the senate whose men,
bers are believed to be threatened more
seriously than all others through Herz's
return. Every body feels that the worst
will come out as soon as Herr shall come
before the examining magistrate

turned with verdict OF guilty.

of the defendant when the jury re-
turned, and the verdict created a sensa-
ton. but there was no outward demon

The marriage of Mrs Billy Flor
ence has made much talk in the circles
OF theater-going people. Not alone
that 1T is her third experience in matri-
mony, but because of her age and the
fact that she has married a man so
many years her junior Florence was
some three years younger than Mrs
Melvina Littell whom he married, but
Melvina is nearly if not quite thirty
five years older than her present hus-
band She was born sixty-five years
ago and was on the stage as early as
1916. when she gained note in the Bow
cry as graceful dancer. She married
Florence in 1858. but before that
daughter was born, who is known as
Josephine Florence Shepherd and who
appeared in Kansas City recently as the
r-ther commonplace head of very
commonplace dramatic company.

MAvRoYENI BEY, the Turkish minis
ter, though one of the most indefatiga-
bic members of the diplomatic corps, in
social matters cannot sufficiently forget
oriental types of beauty to admire
those of other countries. At a ball given
on New Years eve, he naively confided
to pretty woman with whom he had
been dancing that according to his idea
he had not seen pretty woman nor
one of really fine physique since he had
been in America 1t should be noted
that the minister, though by birth a
Greek, has spent the greater portion of
his life in Constautinopie, and accord
iugly, to come up to his criterion a
woman must weigh at least zoo pounds.

prices. To get the benefit Of the store
the farmer is required to pay fee Of 60
cents year or 81 in advance fer tive
years. 1t is a slick game and as the iel-
low who is working it is a slick talksr,
many farmers are parting with their 81

The latest postolice ruling is that the
writer has the right to reclaim and re-
gain possession of letter providing he
can prove to the satisfaction of the pest

sent that he was the writer of it. Even
after the letter has arrived at It's destlna-
ton, and before it is delivered to the per
son to whom it is addressed, it may be
recalled by the writer by telegram
through the mailing Office. The reason
assigned IS that the United States is only
