SKETCHES OF THE NOMINEES.
Mai. Upham's Career and Character
His Running Mates.

William Henry Up Oh mo was as b. born -, at
1S41. He is the eighth child of the
eighth generation Of the descendants OF
John Upham, who came to America from
England in 1885. At the age of II he
came with his mother to Wisconsin. He
was a pupil in the school of Col. j. q.
McNynn, in which were trained so many
men who have contributed to the glory
of the Badger state. When the war
broke out, he was just 20 years &c. OF age.
His home was in kaclne; ana mere IN
Wisconsin regiment that was in the
Battle of Bull Run. He was wounded,
and the retreating Unionists left him on
the field for dead. The rebels captured
him and he was imprisoned IN Libby:
But the news that he was dead reached
was correct. his funeral sermon was
preached in the First Presbyterian
church of that city by Rev. Mr.. Hutch
ms.
The young soldier was in prison seven
months, during which time he recovered
from his wound. Then he was released
on parole, and went to Washington to
report to the officers of his command. He
was taken to President Lincoln, who
was always DESTROYS of opportunities to
question men who could give information
concerning matters on the inside of the
confederate lines. The President was
so much impressed with the brightness
and capacity of the young volunteer that
he appointed him to a cadetship at West
Point. From this institution he was
graduated in 1866, with the rank of Sec
ond lieutenant. He was assigned to the
Fifth artillery, and in 1867 transferred
to the Fourth battery, q. S. A.
Two years later he was promoted to
first lieutenancy, and soon after resigned,
returning to Wisconsin and entering civil
life. He gained experience in the lumber
business at KeMaunee and in Shawano

Why MARY ANDERSON
LEFT THE STAGE.

Until Mary Anderson's own memoirs are
published, says United States Consul
General Ben. H. Ridgely, writing in the May
Southern Magazine Gouisville), the world
will never quite understand why she deliber-
ately renounced these seemingly irresistible
destinations for the commonplaces Of matri-
mony and modest home, conditions that
seem at once tedious and impossible to the
average being while standing in the dazzling
light of a universally Acknowledged fame.
And those who worship money will never
cease to wonder why this young woman was
SO Indifferent to the golden god as to give up
calling that assured her at least one
hundred thousand dollars every year.
They will wonder why she was willing to quit
with a half million or less when she might
have had a million and half or more. 1t was
not an impulse. because. for - least q year
before her retirement, she had declared her in.
tention to that end. 1t was not religious fanat-
icism, for she never had any thought of enter
ing convent; and it was not wholly with q
view to matrimony, for whether she had mar
ried Mr.. de Navarro or not 1t was her unalter-
able determination to leave the stage So
shall leave it for Mary Anderson herself to tell
as she will do in the memoirs which she has
been writing with her own hand, and which
will soon be In the hands of the publisher
why she no longer cared to stand in her great
ness before the public view She left it with
the respect and affection Of the profession
whose admiration she had compelled, her
genius acknowledged by the entire English
speaking world. Neither among actors. writ
ers. statesmen. nor scholars can the world
point to a professional career that was more
lofty and more honorable.

duce s5O.000,000 worth Of goods annually,
have trebled their capacity and the value Of
their products within decade.
This coal fields Of the Mississippi basin cover
an area OF 200 square miles, about one
fourth that Of Mexico, and produce $4,000, 600
tons OF coal annually. In the southern states
iron and coal are generally found together in
quantities, which fact is having too much to
do with the astonishing increase Of iron man
ufactures which has taken place in this Sec
tion within the past decade. The Upper Lake
region furnishes the northern states with the
bulk Of the ore which they consume. In the
production of pig iron Alabama now stands
third in the United States, Illinois is fourth,
Pennsylvania and Ohio first and second. OF
the $500, 900 tons produced throughout the
country the states OF the Mississippi basin are
credited with over so per cent
Ten years ago Of the $500, ,0o0, 900 which
represented the total value OF the country's
manufactures, the Mississippi basin produced
nearly two-thirds. The proportion now
reaches 70 per cent. A decade ago it was pro-
ducing three-fourths of the -four (valued at
$685., 49,, ,00O), four-fl.ths OF the agricultural
implements and wagons (slsS, ,6Oo, ,o0O), and
about one-half Of the malt liquor (Sl01 ,000.-
0o0), while the lumber product (S270, ,000, ,000)
was Northwestern and Southern monopoly.

Mississippi valley earning three-fourths ofthe
increase. WILLIAM d. WAsHBURS.

Postal Contract Awarded.

Postmaster General Bissell yesterday after
noon awarded the postal envelope contract to
the -Plimpton Companies. the present
contractors. Their bid was Ss4, 4,036. The
figures submitted by the Holyoke Envelope
Company Of Holyoke, Mass, the only other
bidder. were sS7 $40, a difference Of S3.S04 in
the bids. The cost at present contract prices
is SSs. 1857. The award makes reduction of
"a 800 in the cost to the government, or over
So per cent. as compared with the present
contract The number of bidders created
some surprise among the officials. as half
dozen firms competed for the contract last
year. At that time the Postmaster General
deemed the figures too high and not commen-
surate with the fall in prices of materials. AS
q consequence REIMBURSEMENT for bids was
ordered. The contract will be in operation
during the fiscal year, ending June 30, 1895.

SPEEDING YOUNG AMERICAN.

What is there in the world, We would like
to know, more laudable, more inspiHting
than the indomitable enterprise Of the young
American? To be an American is to chal-
lenge the respect of the civilized world. To
be young is to match the sagest and the most
famous and successful of the world with the
enthusiasm that never discusses failure. THE
TINES has felt an interest in the Polar ex-
petition of Walter Wellman from its first be-
ginning. This thoughtful, daring young
man must have profted by his year Of study
of the Arctic problem. He must have been
made capable by his years of experience in
the newspaper field. He must give good
account Of himself when he ha. worked out
this, the highest ambition Of his life. We ex-
pect Walter Wellman to penetrate the ice
pack quicker ard farther than any other ex-
plorer. II it may be said that his advantages
in the way of equipments and supplies are
superior to any others. it may also be said
that he has collected them himself. So we
wish him, all of US Americans. God speed. He
will surely find out something and he will
write about it well.

ON ROTTING IN JAIL.

The many admirers of Hon. Edward Rose
water, editor of the Omaha Bee, and these ad-
mirers are scattered all over the country,
were amused yesterday morning TO read that
he had been incarcerated for thirty days for
contempt OF court. The feeling of amusement,
however, soon gave place to a sentiment akin
to admiration. The friends of Mr.. Rosewater
were promptly impelled to say to themselves:
go it, Rosey, go it!''
Then they read his defiance of the court:
at is a monstrous doctrine. / had rather rot
in forty iails and prisons than 10 surrender what
has been fought for by the fathers of this re-
public, which includes the liberty Of the press to
criticse public servants-and the courts are pub
lie servants much as any class"
We cannot learn offhand and thousand
miles away or more, of all the facts in this
celebrated case. but whatever they are. we
are inclined to say with the many friends
of Mr.. Rosewatcr, scattered ali over the
country.
go it, Rosey; go it!''
The press has been called the palladium of
our liberties. The press has been said to be
powerful. The press is the palladium Of our
liberties. II il is honest and fearless; and it is
powerful if it is earnest and honest. If it
fails in ifs public mission, however, it is a
menace to the community in which it drags
its life out. 1t lacks Imagination, and humor,
and good nature, and literary comfort, for
the trials OF every day. Worse than that, it
stimulates the sensation loving, the vicious,
and the base. A newspaper needs to be like
a brave and good man, outspoken, true,
charitable.
1t is well that an editor should rot in jail
now and then for his principles. 1t is well
that he should rot in forty jaiis, if necessary.
Il is well that he should show his readers
(who ought to be his followers) that he is not
some anonymous shuttlecock without ideas,
without the knowledge to formulate them,
without the nerve to take the consequences.

Taking Care of
Little Girls Hair,

Nothing is more becoming to the piquau
face OF little girl than short hsir-either ths
loose curls that are the natural heritage o.
many small misses or the straight hair which
falls to the lot Of others, trimmed close, say
the New York Times. 1t is a relief to tn,

them in turn brush out the dust from the hair
very occasionally cleaning the scalp and haif
with the white of an egg, followed by careful
rinsing in tepid water and thorough drying.
As soon as Its length will permit. the giri's
hair may be braided. This is preferable to
letting it fiy-a practice that roughens and
breaks 1t, making uneven ends. Tangles
should never be combed out; always brushed.
The tearing out of little knot or snarl oil
hair with comb, which many girls think the
only way to do, is atrocious. Perseverance
in brushing will unravel the most obstinate
snarl-not by removing the lock bodily, as
with comb. but by separating the hairs, and
really untying the knot.
Pretty shell clasps held by a shell pin, are
to be had to connect either the loose braid or
three dropping curls at the nape Of the neck,
or bows may be used.
