Mr.. DAYTON GETS INTERVIEWED.

The Hon. Aston Gordon Dayton
went up to Connecticut to spend his
thanksgiving. He is quoted as saying
that thanksgiving day is not observed
in West Virginia beyond a formal proc
lamation by the Governor. While in
Meriden Mr.. Dayton was interviewed
by reporter of the DAILY Journal.
He told how he was nominated for
Congress, and gave the details of the
campaign. Here are few extracts;
"Why, from the day of my nomination
ND TO the day the polls were closed av-
eraged sixteen hours per day in the field.
Frequently went with only three hours
sleep out of the twenty-four. / never
attempted to enter my Office or to attend
to legal business during that time"
zone of the difficulties with which we
had to contend was the scarcity of fluids
essential to meet the legitimate and prop
err expenses of our campaign, which in
that section are necessarily great"
Great Scott y
Mr.. Dayton then gave sample OF
the way in which by his irresistible
winsomeness he gathered votes for him.
self The reporter asked: "Were the
voters easily induced to support you p
and the successor of Mr.. Wilson re-
piled
"Well, here's sample. One of the
most disagreeable days | experienced
was in taking a trip of twelve miles
through a pouring rain i'll the midst OF a
dense, unbroken forest on a shay en-
eine-a locomotive run by cogs on a
Special rail used in the forests-to lum-
Der camp where $50 men were employed.
I shook hands with every man, and al
though Heretofore the party had been
nearly evenly divided politically, l am
informed that all but three voted for
me-"
Wonder what got wrong with the
famous three?
The Congressman-elect then grandly
describes how 81" was supported by
the leading Republicans; how az tri-
umphantly traversed the district, and
az spoke so convincingly here and
there how az was enthusiastically
greeted by the ladies; az predicted
the big majority az received; Il"
never doubted my election; az min
gled among the people and finally 81"
must get back to my long neglected
law practice. The whole interview is
lovely one, indeed, but irresistibly
forces the conclusion that Mr.. Elkins's
duties as chaperone are not yet hn-
ished. He will do well to remain with
his ward awhile longer.

ONE of the boldest attempts at bluff
on record is the action of the Sugar
Trust, through its president, H. 0.
Havemeyer. 1t threatens to close all
its refneries and throw fifty thousand
men out of employment, hoping there
by to prevent further action by Con-
gress that may have tendency to re-
duce its enormous profits. Havemeyer
who, by the way, is one of the wealth
lest men in the United States-makes
the 1lendacious statement that the sug-
ar refneries have been run at loss
for several months. This is such pal
pable falsehood that even his business
associates cannot endorse it-nobody
believes it. The Sugar Trust has gone
a little too far this time, and if Con-
gress obeys public sentiment it will
take away from that giant monopoly
all the special favors that were left it
by the late tariff bill.

The great financial and artistic success
Of the Worlds fair in Chicago seems to
have inoculated the nations of the earth
with the international exposition craze.
Close upon the heels of the unparalleled
Chicago success come the California
Midwinter International exposition. the
Polish international exposition in Lem
burg, and, third, but not least, the Ant
werp International exposition of 1894,
under the patronage of Leopold II, king
of the Belgians.
Although the Antwerp exposition will
be a small affair compared with the
mammoth magnifcence of our own
White City, it will be notable illustra-
ton of the worlds progress and will at
tract widespread attention. The grounds
will be 200 acres in extent. and the build
ings will cover about rs acres. An idea
of the difference in size between the two
expositions will be made apparent when
it is remembered that the Worlds fair
covered 666 acres, or over three times the
space that the Antwerp exhibition will
occupy. A moments calculation, too,
will show that nearly half of the Antwerp
buildings could be built inside the Man

DESCRIBE YOUR FRIEND.
And Then See How Well Your Picture VIII
FIT Scores of Others,


Fit Scores of Others.
HE was young man and fairly good
looking; smooth face and without
glasses; wore dark suit; was about
feet in height and looked like married
man. Anybody would know him." Such
was the description turned in by a young
woman who slipped quietly into the city
editors Office and wanted to advertise
for Chalmers. 1t appeared that Chalmers
had left home, and nobody knew why,
and this young woman had faith that
her recital of his personal traits would
bring him back. 1t was good example
of the average PERSONS power of descrip-
ton of fellow being.
It is totally inadequatei Though man
be fearfully and wonderfully made,
there seems to be an unaccountable in
ability in nine persons out of every ten
to give creditable word picture of any
one whom they have seen. Because we
understand the looks of a person when
we meet them, it never occurs to the
mind that other people do not grasp a
thorough idea of his appearance with a
few passing phrases of description.
Your friend comes in, and you ex-
pound to him that such and such a man
has just called for him, but almost in
variably your exposition is jumbled lot
of phrases which apply to the human
race in general.
The other day when rushed into my
Office room with column story on the
end of my tongue-or at the tip of my
pen, to be more accurate-I was given
this greeting:
"Hellol A man has just been in to see
YOU"
what did he look ike?"
"Oh, he was a good looking fellow
not very tall, rather heavy, but not too
much So"
"Was he old or young?"
About 20 or 20, should say"
What color Of hair?"
II don't remember now. However,
don't think he had mustache."
"How dressed?"
"Oh, just an ordinary business suit"
Have you ever heard such descrip-
ton? If not. watch yourself next time
you tell of some ones call. You will be
surprised to find that your description
would fit almost any member of the
human race
Why is it?
don't know. We read in books that
it's because we don't cultivate the habit
of intelligent observation.
There was once n boy who learned
how to describe what he saw. Every
morning he was sent by his father to
walk rapidly by an elegantly arranged
window, and then afterward to repeat
to him all the things he saw at this one
glance at the panorama and to describe
them. At first the lad could remember
but few things that his eye may have
caught i'll the passing glance, but in time
he could remember almost everything
in a show window by merely seeing it
once.-BoSton Herald.

with this papeZ whereby would be paid
by the column. I would then. give a
word picture here which would save the
reader $500 in travelling expenses and
$1,000 in maritime nausea.
The building looks as much like a
tower as Tattersall's livery and sale
stable in New York.
No, it does not, come to think it over
more like the Forty-second Street res
ervoir, or the depot at Council Bluffs,
Ia. 1t is sort of combination of these
styles and is paired with old Dominick's,
like the site of the old Bastille in Paris.
They look like one-fourth of an acre of
salt rising bread just ready to bake or the
good intentions used on the road to the
Bad Lands.
There is moat around the building,
but it is dry, though they tell me it can
be flooded at any time. offered beef
eater bob to flood it, and he was just
going to do it when his superior came
out and wanted 8 bob for himself. I
saw that it would be no object to visit
the Tower On Saturday if fooled all my
money away in this manner, so I with
drew the offer.
The Tower covers 10 acres, and the
pence paid in by the public does not pay
for sweeping the sidewalk.
1t was used by Henry II as royal
Judgment, but since has been mostly used
as a place to jug Scotch kings in. Griffin,
prince of Wales, was also prisoner here,
and in trying to escape from his turret
broke the rope, and the place where he
fell was sight to behold. His son was
killed in battle soon after and his head
put up on the same turret by Edward,
who slew him. 1t was the custom in
those days to put the heads of your enc
mics on the gateposts to scare the post
man.
But these customs have all been given

Why He Was Pardoned,

Governor Oglesby was going through the
state prison at Joliet one day, asking the
prisoners how they liked the accommoda-
lions and if they slept we'll end if he could
do anything to make them more comfort

would hold out hopes of pardon. Finally
he found one convict who was picture
He had but one ear, and a big piece had
been bitten out of that. His right cheek
had big scar from heel to crown. He
had a harelip, and his eyes were crossed.
His nose was as big as two noses and COW
cred with warts. Out of the center of each
wart rose pimple, and out of each pim-
pie grew a bunch of hair. He was beaut.
''What are you in here for, my good
manf" asked Oglesby.
"For abducting blind woman" was
his reply.
