Ex-CongreSsman Tracey as a Papal
ZOuaye.
A Moment Of Great Suspense-Ex-
periencs o. One Of President
Cleveland's Intimate Friends.
Fighting to Maintain the Temper

Leave the Service
lConyright. 1891

EX-COngressman Charles Tracey,
from the Albany district OF New York,
long known as one of President Cleye-
lands intimate friends, has consented
TO tell the story Of his services as a
member of the Papal zouayes in Italy,
In 1870" said Mr.. Tracey recently,
the Italian government determined to
take possession of Rome. ! was then at
home in New York, but left for Rome
in August and arrived at Civita Vec-
CHA, the port of~Rome, the very day it
was taken by the italian forces. There
l met Keyes O'Cleary, who had been
with me in the zouaves; q Mr.. Kenyon,
another gentleman who desired to en-
ter the papal army, and young Hemans,
. son Of Mrs. Hemans, the pOetess
O'Cleary had passed through Paris on
ais way TO Rome, and the papal nuncio
there had given him q packet of letters
and papers for FrelCnmen in the ZOu-
ayes These he had brought in q
SatChel. That night after everybody
IN the hotel had gone to sleep, he and D
got up and went through the packet,
burning all the papers and making the
letters up into smaller parcel, which
We put back into the satChel. Next day
We four-O'Cleary, Kenyon, Hemans
and myself-took a carriage and fol-
lowed the Italian army toward Rome.
We were stopped by General BiXio Of
the Italian forces and informed that no
one would be allowed to enter Rome
until the city had cap1ulated. This
did not suit us at ALL We were eager
to join the zouayes in order to take part
T. the defense Of the Holy City and de-
termined to try to get through the ltal-
ian lines.
Driving back out Of sight Of the sol
dicry, we left our carriage. sol into a
ravine stole along past the nearest sen
tries and then started on q dead run

had gone some distance ne said he was

we j9gged along, uemans in front

with significant wink and gesture
toward the satchcl whispered: 1T

1.-The little city of Virginia made
a big bluff at the country the
other day by sending out tele-
gram announcing that prominent
sports of that town would put
up a purse of $50, 900 to have the
Corbett-Fitz fight pulled of
there. Of course it was only a
bluff, but it advertised that Vir'
ginia was still in the ring" And
if Bro. Kiley should happen to
look the matter up he would also
find that the $50, 600 was close
behind the alleged "bluff." :"

Pur0 Food.

Butterine is much abused product. As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the skillful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life. Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: 'The product is palatable and wholesome and I regard it as a most valuable article of food"
 Prof. J. S. W. Arnold, Medical De- partment, University of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"

MIR CLARKE CAN'T SEE T. En Route to Washington He Is
 Met and Importuned TO BECOME A CANDIDATE It Is Said That After the Clouds Roll By and Santa Claus Comes and Goes He May
 Announce.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 20.-(SpeciaD-
 The Hon. Richard H. Clarke of Mobile passed through here last night, en route
 to Washington II is stated that he was
 besieged by the anti-Johnston democrats,
 all of whom were loaded down with req
 sons why he should become a candidate
 for the nomination. It appears he could
 not see it that way, however, for he pro-
 ceeded on his route, leaving matters, to
 all appearances, just where they were.
 It is stated on the streets that MT.
 Clarke did promise to become a candi-
 date, and that his announcement is being
 withheld for the reason that public at
 tention is occupied with the considera-
 tion of war and Christmas. The report is
 that it is the intention of the groomers
 of MT. Clarke that his announcement shall
 fall on ears of the Johnston men with
 dull thud, in order that they may com
 pletely be crushed and annihilated, and
 that this may be accomplished it is neces- sary that no disturbing influences like
 that of Santa Claus and Lord Salisbury
 should exist. Hence the announcement, the report says, will not be made until after the new year. This is only street talk, however, and appearances appear to indicate that MT.
