Gov. Altseld and the Soldiers.

Springfield Register.
Every governor OF Illinois. since
1864, has been a soldier, with the ex-
ception of Gov. Cullom. who served
his country by remaining at home
and holding Office. The republican
governors were always loud in their
professions of love for the soldier.
their mouths were always ready to
howl in his interest. while but little
that was tangible did they ever do
for him. The present democratic
governor reverses the rule. He says
little in regard to the soldiers. Hav-
ing been private in the late war, he
knows more about the real life, the
suffering and hardships of the SOL
diers, than do his predecessors.
but he does not think it the highest
patriotism to work his mouth con-
tinually. But he leaves no opportu-
nifty unused where he can compli-
ment the soldiers. Last year and
this year he requested the state
board of agriculture to set apart one
day as old soldiers day at the fair.
The board gladly complied with this
request. and this year the governor
arranged to have the children
brought down from the Soldiers Or
phans' home thus giving those little
ones chance not only to see the
fair. but also to meet those who
fought side by side with their fathers.

Various plans Of work for the en-
couragement of q better system of
farming. to be made prominent in
institute meetings, were discussed,
and many new and important meas
ures were recommended. Prof.
Davenport introduced n resolution
calling attention to the necessity of

ducts in connection with institute

Benefits of A Association.

At the twentieth anniversary of the
Detroit Woman's club, recently cele-
brated, an incident not mentioned on
the programme was the reading of a
letter of congratulation sent by the hus-
band of one of the club members, con-
Tossing the fresh ideas and interest and
buoyancy of spirit the wife and mother
brought home every Monday evening
on her return from the club meetings
and declaring his belief that the club
was of immense benefit not only to the
members themselves, but to their fam
lilies.
Writes a club woman: join club.
In the club is just where you will learn
how to live. Here you will discover your
possibilities and gain knowledge which
will beautify your houses, help your
children and enrich your own lives.
Here you also learn the true meaning
OF fellowship, sympathy and that &C
QUESTION of strength which comes from
organization and cooperation.

Independents Young Ladies' Who Pay ia
penses En- Route.
The American girl is expected 70 w
unusual things. There Is thereioi
more admiration than surprise eAci'eu
by the feats accomplished by two prien'
young ladies pow stopping in San fran
cisco. Both are from New YORK. Ono'
Miss Mabel Biggart, is lourha,iS1
author and elocutionist. Inc olhoi,
Miss Louise Gumaer, has finely tralneo
| contralto voice.
Seven years ago they decided 10 10
the United States. With the excep'ion
| Of California, this has has been accom-,
plished. They have besides traveleo
all over Canada. Yet their journeylnes
have been made only on the capltai VI
their talents, and at no time have tney
been forced to call upon their people
| for assistance.
Miss Biggart conceived the IDEA OF
writing a book about the United STATES
from its scenic and historical stand
points. To do this successfully she
knew that she would have to see the
| places about which she wrote. Inc
question of transportation was easily
solved.
The young lady arranged series OF
entertainments, for which elaborate
programmes were printed. On these
programmes were artistic ads OF the
different railroad lines. In return Tor
them Miss Biggart and her companion
received passes to all parts of the coun-
try. The railroad people also granted
them special favors, as they realized the
fact that Miss Biggart's book would, by
advertising different show places IN
duce travel to them.
Miss Biggart has dramatiZed Adam
Bede, Les Miserables, Ben-Hur,
and other masterpieces. These drama
tizations she recites. The performances
are interpolated with appropriate solos
by Miss Gumaer. By their perform
ances the young ladies pay their hotel
and incidental expenses.
When California has been satisfac-
torily seen, they will go to Florida,
where Miss Biggart will put in month
or two revising her book. Then the
two will start on a similar trip over the
world, going first to the Sandwich Is
lands. They will then sail for Japan,
after which they will visit Siam and
India. They will then travel across
Persia to Egypt, around by Cape Colony
and along the western African coast.
Europe will of course be done thor
oughly. Neither of the young ladies
seems 10 think that they have underta'
ken anything extraordinary. Their sue
cess seems to them quite matter OF
course.-San Francisco Chronicle.
