he has endeavored to get one more

Gen. Enochs gave the veteran his long
sought and prayed-for vindication-
twenty years late, but, nevertheless,
in time to round out his career.
He was a character and forceful
man when in congress before, and he
is now, for his years, wonderfully Wig
orous. He is natural born orator. a"
Besides he is known throughout all

back in 1869, married Julia Bundy at
the old house in Wellston. Foraker
was then poor young lawyer, but in
tensely ambitious.
Old Father Bundy said to him after
the wedding: Look here, Ben, don't
go to Cincinnati to begin practice
You'll starve to death in that great
city. Stay right here, look after my
business, stick to your work in quiet
way. There is living in it anyhow,
and after while perhaps we can

But this fiattering offer did not suit
Foraker, and little over ten years
afterward he was the nominee for gov
ernor of Ohio, and held the office four
years, having been the candidate of
his party on two occasions.
Bundy's eloquence is like that of
Ingersoll's, but he is even more witty,
and perhaps more homely in his ex-
pressions. His great wealth melted
away after the panic of 1873, and he
was glad the other day when he was
sworn in to find that So, 900 salary was
awaiting him.

by the death of Gen. Epochs of Ohio.
Congressman Bundy is not a stranger
in his place of honor. Back in 1870 he
was called the Iron King of Ohio, and
went to congress from nearly the same
district which he now represents. At
that time he was suppo:cd to be mill
ionaire, because of his extensive hold
ings in furnaces and iron lands through
out the jackson mining region. He
was lawyer, too, but practiced little,
save when he was his own client.
After serving two terms he was de-
feated IN 1874 by John L. Vance of
Gallipolis. The old man was badly
broken up by this defeat, because it
was defeat of principles which he
held dear. He had stood up for the
rights of the colored men and had sup
ported, from conviction, the civil
rights bill. His course caused his de-
feat, and he always yearned for vindi-
cation before he died. Several times

A Peculiar Beauest.

A Christiania newspaper, which does
not give itself up to the comic element,
relates that a Danish lawyer named
NilSolson bequeathed the whole of his
property to trustees to be employed in
the purchase of bicycles for the use of
children attending school, and part of
the money is to go toward paying a
teacher to train the boys in bicycle
riding. The validity of the will has
been disputed by the sons of the tesla
tor, who refuse to acknowledge it, so
that it is still a question of doubt
whether the children will reap the
benefit of the strange bequest. That
the testator was sincere enough, and
that he recognized in the wheel untold
blessings which might have escaped
the observation of minds of less
acumen, the concluding portion of the
will should go to prove. 1t says: Il
have always found bicycle capital

those people who persist in stopping

health, when the bullet of Guiteau cut
short the journey at the threshold of
the railway station. Millions watched
with her in spirit at her husbands
bedside, wept with her at his grave,
and then, when the tomb had covered
all that was dear TO her, Mrs Garfield
passed from the public gaze.
In the exciting days of the cam
paign of 1880 the plain country cot
tage of the republican candidate was
filed with politicians from all the
states of the Union. In photogra phs
and newspaper pictures it was famil-
lar sight. Here was the scene of that
historic meeting between Garfield and
Gonlling. and in the little Office build
ing that stood in the yard Grant and
Blaine and other republican chieftains
have met, to smoke and talk over
questions of party eXpediency. Here
it was that Garfield received the news
of his election, standing among the
crowd of his loyal townspeople. But
now the little office building is gone
and the cottage itself is joined to a
great stone mansion that looms up be-
fore the visitor like some grand
chateau. 1t is the finest dwelling in
all the neighborhood.
Now there are large, neatly painted
barns and spacious lawns, where Gar
field, were he alive, might enjoy him
self at his favorite pastime, "Presby-
terrain billiards." as he styled it, or
croquet, as it is more Familiarity
known. The noble trees surrounding
the house were planted, most of them,
by Garield's own hand.
With its modern furnishings and
luxurious appointments, the interior
of the new Garfield home is in strange
contrast with the old. Mrs. Gar
field would not destroy the old
house her husband had built.
She merely added to it. and in
sists that the new part is only an addi-
ton and the old house the main part
of the establishment. And this idea is
the more impressive from the fact that
you enter through the original hall
way of the cottage. You pass into the
same hall where Garfield put on his
overcoat that cold day in February and
said farewell forever to "Lawnfield. J"

Hara Times In China.

In honor of the celebration of the
sixty-ninth birthday of the queen re-
gent of China 100000 pieces of red
silk each forty feet long and three
wide, were ordered to be made in the
imperial mills of Marking, Soo-Chow-
Foo and Hang-Chow-Foo. With these
the streets of Pekin are to be deeorat-
ed for distance of forty miles. The
queen regent has also decreed that the
customary birthday gifts annually pre-
sented by the provincial mandarins be
omitted this year and the money de-
voted to the relief of the poor, who
have suffered much from the unusual

AvaIanohes Produced by RAILWAYS.

A correspondent to the London
Times records a curious and altogether
unexpected result of the tunneling
operations in st. Gothard is lawsuit
instituted by the inhabitants of the
adjacent valleys. They sue the fed
eral government for damages caused
by the great increase Of avalanches
which constantly thunder down the
mountain side, produced, it is pre-
sumed, by the explosions of dynamite
more than by the vibrations of pass
ing trains in the lower tunnels of the
railway. Many witnesses, who have
lived in the neighborhood since the
early part of the century, will swear
to the greatly augmented number and
force of the avalanches that now con-
stantly sweep destruction down the
mountain. The first hearing of this
novel case was lately heard before the
federal judges assembled at Bellin-
IONA. We believe there is no instance
in this country of an avalanche pro-
duced by railway service.

ALIKE IN ALL COUNTRIES
The Inventor Is Ever the Same, no
Matter What He Has Invented.

Matter What He Has Invented.
The cycling inventor is always with
us. In an attempt to score six for cy-
clists and several dozens for himself,
he never ceases by night or day to plot
and plan for the suppression or radi-
cal improvement of what is in the hope
of what may be. But many a time and
oft, and mainly through blind faith in
the creations of his brain, does the
poor fellow burn his fingers and issue
from his ventures alas! poorer but
seldom wiser. than he entered. 1t is
regretable always that habitual in
ventors can seldom see that, with
single mind originating sequence of
Inventions, tucrc must exist varying
degrees of merit and originality. In
nine cases out of ten every inventors
goose is to him swan, and it is
hard for him to see it in any other
light. Nothing is sadder than to
hear of man devoting time, thought
and money to working out an idea, when
that idea is known to specialists as one
which has been tried In the fire of ex-
pertinent and found wanting. The
men of ingenuity can seldom bring
themselves to believe they are not
first and original inventors, or that
their inventions, clever though they
may be, are of no practical utility.
Expert, educated opinion, is the last,
and not as it should be the first, thing
they seek when the inventive affiatus
is upon them, and it, therefore, often
happens that they frequently labor
for weeks and months at time, only
to discover ultimately that they have
travelled without avail, and all their
work has been thrown away. Nur
strong and persistent advice to the
man of ideas and devices is to request
the advice of one or more accredited
experts before he spends time and
money upon what may be but dead
sea fruit after all.-Cyclist.

THE GARFIELD MANSION AT MENTOR.
to represent his fathers old district in
congress
Mentor is in Lake county, and in the
same old senatorial district which the
father once represented in the Ohio
legislature. Two years ago young
Garfield was candidate for state sena-
tor, hoping to begin his political career
at the same age as did his father and
in the very same district A nomina-
ton was equivalent to election, but he
failed to secure the support of Summit
county. and met defeat. His wife was
Miss Newell, the daughter Of John
Newell, president of the Lake Shore
railway system.
Irwin Mcdowell Garfield is bright
faced young man of twenty-three and
n graduate of Williams college. He
will, when older, look much like his
father. He has decided to be lawyer.
Just now he is an undergraduate in
the Harvard Law school and has not
yet made up his mind where he will
practice.
Abram Garfield, the youngest son, is
student at the Boston School of
Technology. He has not developed
his fathers great love for the classics,
but prefers the ever new wonders of
science. He is barely of age and is a
bright, alert youth of whom all in the
family are proud.
Besides the President, "Grandma"
Garfield had three children, Thomas
and James. the sons, and two dauph-
tiers, one Of whom is dead Mrs. Trow-
bridge, the other daughter, lives at
Scion. Thomas is a plain, unassuming
farmer, near jamestown, Mich. He
was the eldest of the family, but lacked
the force and ambition of the younger
brother, who soon became the virtual
head of the household. During his
mothers lifetime Thomas iourneved
to Mentor once a year to see her, but
he has made few visits since her death.
At his brothers funeral the plain
farmer brother was overlooked i'm
the great throng. Yet there was no
more sincere mourner in the Garfield
family.
