LYMAN TRUMBULL.
One of the Grand Old Men OF the
United States.

One of the Grand Old Men OF the
United States.
Judge Lyman Trumbull, of Chicago,
has a national reputation as a jurist
and statesman. A colleague of Lin
coin in the legislature and of Douglas
in congress, he was high in the coun-
ellis of the nation at a time when true
craftsmanship existed, and was hon
Ored. In those times the people had
more say in public affairs than the
politician permits them to have now.
Judge Trumbull is product of the old
school of Craftsmanship, and now, at the
advanced age of eighty-three years, he
looks back over n life distinguished by
many tributes of respect and confidence
from his city, state and country. He
was born in 1913 at Colchester, Conn,
received an academic education in his
native town, and when sixteen years
old began teaching school. At twenty
he was placed in charge of a school at
Greenville, Ga, and during his stay in
the south began the study of law. In
1897 he came to Illinois to hang out his
single at Belleville, st. Clair county.
Three years later he was sent to the
legislature by the republicans of that
district. Political honorS came thickly
after that. After finishing his term in
the house he was elected secretary of
state, and in 1913 he was elected to the
state supreme bench. In 1852 he was
reelected for a term of nine years, but
resigned in 1853, and the next year was
sent to congress from the Belleville dis
trict The next year he was elected
United States senator to succeed James
Shields. He was reelected in 1861 and
again in 1867, serving eighteen years.
Judge Trumbull was among those who
in 1872 left the republican party and
became identified with the democrats
Upon leaving the senate he came to
Chicago to practice his profession and
soon acquired an extensive business.
His fame as constitutional lawyer is
national. Yale and McKcndree col
leGCs have bestowed upon him the de-
gree LII. d. Judge Trumbull is still
actively pursuing the profession of
the law. His health is good and his
intellect remains undimmed.

GEN. IWAWO OYAMA.
Now in Personal Command of the japanese
Forces in China.

Now in Personal Command of the Japanese
Forces in China.
Count Iwawo Oyama, the japanese
minister of war, now in personal COM
mand of the imperial forces landed on
Chinese soil near Port Arthur, was
born in Satsuma, and is a cousin of
Count and Gen. T. Saigo, minister of
marine. He spent several years in
Europe in study, his longest residence
being in Switzerland. His acquaint-
ance with European literature, says
Harpers Weekly, is quite extensive.
In May, 1876, when the first rebellion
against the new order of things in ia
pan broke out, Gen. Oyama was put in
command of the army and quickly
captured Koomamotoo. In the second
and greater uprising, led by 7. Saigo in
1877 against the national authorities,
Gen. Oyama, in cooperation with Gems.
Nodzu and Yamada, was in active
service in the field during seven months
against the rebels, who, under the con-
summate leadership of T. Saigo, ex-
hauSted every resource of military art
in resistance. In this campaign Gen.
Oyama demonstrated that the new ma
tional levies of young men from all
classes, but mostly commOners, could
stand even against Satsuma, samurai
or gentry. Oyama led in the final bat
tie, in which the rebel band, scorning
surrender, was annihilated. On his re-
turn to Toxic the emperor gave the Veto
rious general audience and personally
rendered his thanks. In 1850, after hav-
ing held various high military offices,

To Celebrate Adolphus IFS Birthday,

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 1O.-One of the
grandest celebrations in Sweden's
history will occur today, on which
date, 300 years ago, Gustavus
Adolphus II, the greatest of all
Swedish kings, was born in Stock
holm. King Oscar has, in an open
letter to his subjects, urged every
body to make the festival worthy
OF the country, and the hero in
memory of whom it will be held.
AS the event will partly be cele-
brated as a grand Protestant revi-
val, many other Protestant
countries will take part in it.

A Peculiar Com mission.

One of our Springfield artists, whose
reputation for lifelike portraits is estab-
lished. had an old lady walk into his
studio the other morning with queer
commission. She was quaint, odd
figure, clad in an old style boNbazine
with few struggling trimmings of rusty
Grape, and she evidently was not familiar
with city life. ''Please, SIR" she burst
out when the artist had kindly asked her
to be seated, I'D like to have ye fix up

They Trusted in the Lord.

The two gangs Of negroes from the
southwest who have been stranded in
this city within the past few days have
displayed traits that are pleasing. and
that have stirred up popular sympathy
for them. Though they found. when
they got here, that they could not get to
Liberia. in Africa, by ferryboat or a
horse car for ten cents; though they
and their pickaninnies were hungry.
homeless and helpless in strange city:
though they did not know what to do or
where to look for anything, it is inter-
esting to learn that they did not whine
or howl, or threaten to raise a ru1npus,
or to play havoc with most things. or
even to let loose the dogs of war.
They stood out near the dock in the
cold patiently; they held dialogue about
the unknown: they were overjoyed when
a policeman gave them advice; they
blessed the good Lord when they got
shinbone soup for nothing: they grew
merry and sang the old melodies of the
plantation when they were offered free
place to sleep in. and they laughed.
prayed, grew humorous and exhorted
each other because things were going
quite tolerable in a country for which
they started out on their way to the
happy land of Liberia.
All of which is somewhat refreshing
as things go in this world.-New York

Automatic Postal Call Box.

A very ingenious automatic machine
has been established near the letter box
at Charing Cross station for the collec-
ton of letters to be forwarded by the
postoffce express service. It is in elec-
trical connection with the postal tele-
graph Office opposite the station. By
dropping a penny into the slot and pull
ing out the slide, a brown colored en-
velope is delivered. This envelope con-
tains another envelope and card. The
communication is intended to be written
on the card. which is then inclosed in
the white envelope, and this, with the
fees for delivery, which have been fixed
at threepence per mile, is reinclosed in
the outer envelope and deposited in the
box behind the flap. which bears the
printed instructions. The act of with
drawing the slide sends the call signal
to the telegraph Office, and a messenger
is at once dispatched to collect the spe-
cial letters.-Electrical Review.

One Way for y Star to Brighten

On0 way TOT u star 20 br1SnCon.
Director Keller. of the Allegheny OBJ
servatory, was one of the first to receive
the news of the recent discovery of tho
new star in Auriga, but on account of
the cloudy weather and Pittsburg smoke
shutting out all observation he has not
yet clearly seen the visitor among the
heavenly bodies. In speaking of it he
said: 1.-The new star. think, has been
caused by collision. That is, however,
only supposition. It is possible that it
was formerly covered with a crust that
in some disturbance was broken and flew
off into space, leaving the molten inte-
rior visible to astronomers Such occur
rences are common. The outside of the
body becomes chilled. and losing its
brilliancy cannot be seen.
IF then the crust is broken by any
disturbance the star can be seen and is
heralded as a new body. when in reality
it may have been occupying the same
position for thousands of years. Pitts

Asleep for Over Four Months.


Cases of prolonged sleep are by no
means so numerous that we can afford
to pass over the mention of an example
of this condition at present exercising
the minds of German physicians. The
patient is miner by trade, his name
being Johann Latus. He is an inmate
of the hospital Of Myslowitz. in Silesia,
been asleep for some AZ months. 1t
seemed impossible to rouse Latus, but a
recent bulletin mentions that he has at
last awoke. Naturally the case is re-
ferred to the records of catalepsy for its
explanation, although it is pointed out
that AZ months is very extended pc
Rod even for cataleptic sleep.
In this case the limbs were rigid.
which of course pointed to the exist
ence of a cataleptic condition, but the
body itself showed no sign of being in
any unusual state. It remained still
and placid: the chest rose and fell regu-
larly, and the skin was of natural
color. the face being described as pre-
senting healthy appearance. In the
recent reports it was stated that Latus
had become less rigid as regards his
body itself, while slight movements
were noticed prior to his waking.
Curiously enough, while the hair of
the head has grown largely, the beard
has not exhibited any increase. Feed
ing was carried out by introducing milk.
to the extent of two or three liters per
day, into the stomach by means of a
tube. London News.

Odd Discovery in q Log.

A lumberman at Wytopitlock recent
~ split open a hollow maple log and
found among rotten leaves twenty-six
mice, all dead. There were three species
in the collection-the long tailed or kan
CARGO mouse, the white bellied wood
mouse and the common short tailed field
mouse. The chopper thinks they crowd
ed up into the hollow in order to keep
warm, and the hole through which they
entered having closed up, they starved
to death. Mice won't eat mice, evident
~, although civilized men have been
known to feed on one another under
similar conditions. -Lewiston Journal.

food in a railway train while there were
persons of other castles in the same car
rage with him has been restored to
caste. The erring individual, although
not wealthy mai. had sufficient means
to pay the cost of publication. He was
first weighed in pice, and was valued at
$50 rupees. and after that in wheat.
After the = ,ighing he was made to sit

he was then taken up by two men and
thrown into the river, and after good
bath he came out and was received by

purified individual that a great favor
had been conferred on him in weighing
him in copper instead of silver.-Lon-
