A HORSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
A Plain, Everyday Horse Shares the
Building With the President.

A Plain, Everyday Horse Shares the
Building With the President.
A horse has his home in the white
house, saws Washington correspon-
dent. This is literal fact which Wis.
itors never discov and which few
Washington people know. The horse
which shares the executive mansion
with the president isn't thorough
bred. He has neither pedigree nor
record. He is Just Il plain, everyday
horse, with a white sta" in his fore
head, faithful companion to Edgar
R. Beckley. And who is Edgar r.
Beckley? The man who for twenty
five years has carried to and
from the White house all of the
Interesting ana valusole mail re-
ceived and sent. and who has never
been found remiss in his duty. Rain
or shine. in all asons. ne makes
hourly trips between the white house
and the city postotiice. He is the
white house mail carrier. And the
horse that has his home in the white
house carries Beck.ev. The part of
the mansion set apart for the horse is
one corner of the conserva DRY. A
thin partition is all that separates
the roomy stall from the orchids.
There is just room enough for the
stall and temporary su ply of feed,
and there the horse eats and sleeps,
under the same roof with the nresi-
dent of the United States.

THE GREAT REsIoNER.

How an Accountant Takes His Vacation
Spells.
Living in fashionable town within
committing distance of New York is a
gentleman who invariably attracts
tention by his long hair Strangers
always conclude that he Is nothing
less than a great lawyer or bank
president. When the more curious
ask his fellow townsmen about him
they are told the following story:
One day the gentleman, who is one
of the best accoun tants IN the metrop-
oils, stepped up to the president Of
the bank by which he is employed and
said he had decided to resign, and that
the resignation must so into effect
Immediately.
The accountant left that day and
the bank was obliged to get along as
best it could without him.
Ten days later the cashier was as.
tonished on entering the bank to find
the accountant hard at work at his
old desk. The mathematician said
good morning, just as he had done
every day for years before he resigned.
but offered no explana ion.
The president and cashier decided to
let their strange acting employe keep
at his work and ask no questions
Three months later the accountant
went into the presidents Office again
and rendered his resignation. 1t was
accepted and the man was absent for
a week or more. Then he suddenly
returned.
The same thing was re Gated again
and again. Now it is standing joke
in that bank that the acc )untant has
resigned. 1t is his way of taking a
vacation. He never stays away more
than two weeks.

Becoming Really dangerous to Have to
Play ecOnd at ~ Wedding.
Escaping bridegrooms are entirely
too common. No man should be al
lowed to get awav on the evening
fixed~for his wedding There should
be policeman or constable to see
that he does not. Unless something
is done to prevent these escapes there
will eventually be no best man to ap-
pear at any ceremony. IL is not that
the best man so much objects to the
escape of the bridegroom but that
the moment the bridegroom is gone
the best man himself may now be
utilized by any determined bride.
At Philadelphia, the other day,
when the b idegroom failed to appear
at the hour appointed the bride i'm.
mediately held consultation with
the best man. When il was over the
marriage ceremony went on and the
best man was made q husband in no
ii ne and the brid groom wasn't
missed ut all. With this precedent
how are best men to be secured for
future weddings? The groom will at
least be required to give heavy bond
for his appearance at the altar.

The Captain Frletch who is making
the the hare-bralned attempt to cross the
ocean in small fiat bottom schooner, is
the same man who caused SO much ado IN
this city some years ago by dumping
something into the river through a hole
IN the ice. People thought it was corpse
and men were employed to search for
the body Of the supposed victlm. Inquiry
revealed the fact that one of the captain g
children had died and he was keeping the
body to take 1t up north on his boat for
burial when navigation opened. The au-
thorlties insisted upon burial, and to de-
celve them he set out with box which
contained sand and rags and these he
threw into the river at this place.

MANITow woo will soon be gwen an op-
portun1ty to secure manufacturing con-
Germ. a chair factory, which is doing a
good BUSINESS and employing about 100
men. The proprietors of the factory, for
reasons which are self-evident, do not
wish to have its present location known,
but have had offers of bonus from GER
tain places if they would remove their
plant there. They prefer Manitowoc on
account of the facilities for transporta.
ton by water which it can offer.
There can be no doubt that the revival
of manufacturing interests will be rapid
and healthy when the present industrial
difficulties will have passed, and those
cities which have prepared for the chang.
ed conditions will grow in prosperity.
The success of the Manitowoc Seating
Co. under serious difficulties proves what
united effort and energy will do. We
should row be looking out for other in
dustries while competition is not strong,
and be In the line of progress when the
good times come.

The Shove trial is still in progress IN
Sheboygan. Another new batch of wit
nesses were subpoened from this city and
are in attendance this week. The state
is at decided disadvantage from the
fact that its attorneys have no clients
with whom to consult, and in a majority
of cases unwlllingness witnesses. The
defense has four lawyers and the prosecu-
ton only two.
The state concluded it's case on We'd
nesday. The arguments will probably
be made on Friday and it is quite likely
verdict will be given on that day.
The defense rested without introduc.
ing any testimony of consequence. Ar
guments are being made to-day, Chou.

that Shove will be acquitted.

Mrs. HANS REThIER of Schleswig COM
mitted suicide on Tuesday of last week
by shooting herself with revolver. The
deed was done in the woods near the
farm on which she lived. The first shot
did not intlIct fatal wound, as the bull
let went down and came out in the thigh.
She evidently knew this and put second
bullet in her body. She was not found
until the next day. She was about 80
years of age and had been sickly for some
time. No one knows where she procured
the revolver, and it is thought she pur-
chased it in Milwaukee last winter when
she visited that city. She was sister of
VIM. Voss who committed suicide by
hanging two weeks before.
