RUMSEYS STEAMBOAT.

Records Which Show That 1t Antedated
FuItOn's Product by Twcuty-twO Years.
The records Of jefferson county, w.
Va, prove what is not generally known
that Robert Fulton was not the first
man to build Il steamboat III this coun-
try. He was anticipated over - years
by james Rumsey of Charleston, Va,
now West Virginia Rum>cy's steam

county, Md, III 1885. 1t was fitted up
with machinery partly manufactured 1T
q furnace called THE CO,-nctiu Fur
mace, owned by johnson Brothers, and
located near the town Of Frederick
The two cylinders, the boiler. pumps,
pipes, etc, were built i'll Baltimore.
Part of the work was done at the old
Antietam Iron works Rumsey's boat
was 80 feet i'll length, and it was pro-
PEELED by an engine which worked a
vertical pump placed in the center Of the
vessel The water was drawn III at tine
bow and forced out at the stern through
horizontal pipe. TIE entire weight Of
the machinery was Go poundS, and
the tonnage Of the vessel WAS three tons.
The entire machinery, including the
boiler etc, took up space of very lit
tie over feet square.
The first public experiment took place
on the Potomac river on March T. 1856,
when the boat showed Il speed of four
miles an hour up stream. The records Of
Jefferson county also show that George

Lincoln asked

the man.

A HISTORICAL MYTH.
The Story of General JAckson's Cotton Bals
Breast works Pleasing Fiction

The Story of General Jackson's Cotton Bale
nreastworks % Pleasing Fiction
There are few of the schoolboys Of
several generations pre- eding the pres
ent who do not remember Icing taught
that General jackson won the battle oi
New Orleans by throwing up a breast
work of cotton bales and meeting the
British assault behind them.
a dramatic q, count of this was in all
the school histories and several others,
and the novelty of the affair appealed
vividly to the imagination The cold
f@c,s Of later history prove this all TO
have bccn fiction. Henry Adams, in his
history Of Madison : administration. de
scg.lic., the battle OF New Orleans and
mentions no such feature. McMaster,
in his latest volume, refers to the story
III a note only to say that there were two
or three cotton bales used in one place
and they were either set ON fire oI
knocked ont ut once.
Jackson's line Of breastworks was Of
earth irregulauly thrown MP and Of vary
ing height along its length. The trained
sharpShooters of the west did great work
as marksnen behind it and so CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but TO be shot or re-
treat before the American line.
The schoolbOok story used to be that
the Americans lost six killed and seven
wounded McMaster places the figures
of killed and wounded II 20. The Brit
ish, it seems, We're not all repulsed ac-
cOrtiing to the popular story. The right
line Of the American troops was drive
in, and the British left advanced mile
in the rear of jackson ON the way T.
New Orleans
He was really flanked by this success,
but the terrific slaughter he inflicted up
on the British i'll the center, involving
the death Of the first and second generals

and induced the return of that wing of
their army tiat was ON the way to the

He Could Be Indifferent.

1t isn't every man that OWNS a silk
hat, but it Is the dream of every very
young mans life to possess one. A
yoIng man in our end Of town went TO
the matinee with the only girl he ever
really loved, and he wore silk hat.
He put it under the seat carefully, and
the next person who came in gave it a
kick that practically ruined it. Most
young fellows would have had a fit right
there, but this one said nothing at all
He was SO philosophical that the girl
was charmed. As they came out of the
theater they met another young man,
and the three went to get some soda
water. The girl told about the young
mans hat, and how philosophical he
was:
"Why, do you know, Jack, " she said,
Charley didn't even look annoyed 1t
was lovely
"Umph, said Jack, with fire in his
eye, lit S all right for him to be lovely,
but it's my hat!''
1t is just such little things as this that
wreck the friendship of lifetime. =

A STOLEN SECRET.
How Minister Jewell Learned Co Make
Russia Leather.

Russia Leather.
Jewell, like all men brought mp TO
learn a trade, and who afterward gained
prominence in affairs, made now and
then unconscious revelations of his early
training. Dnring one Of the campaigns
in which he was engaged lie found him
self at n country hotel where the table
was bounteous, but the rooms few and
small. Ii was necessary in order that the
whole party might be housed for each
bed to be occupied by two persons The
governors roommate was a young polI-
tician, who could not hide his surprise
when the governor just before retiring
rolled the sleeves of his night shirt even
as far up as his shoulders, and then
bathcd his arms in cold water
You wonder why do this" said
the governor. "Well, couldn't sleep
unless / did When was n youngster
learning tho tanners trade, used TO
have my arms in tho watts all day long,
and ut night my skin would smart rs
though / had been stung by nettles-
could not bear 10 have amy cloth touch
them. So got the habit of rolling my
shirt sleeves as far as / could, and thus
! hare slept ever since. "
When Jewell was minister to Russia,
he played Yankee trick upon the Rus
slams, the benefits of which we are reap
ing even to this day in this country.
Like every other American tanner, he
had long wanted TO know the secret Of
the process of manufacturing Russian
leather. lie had experimental with u
fcw dollars himself, only to learn that
the secret was not to lie discovered
When at the court Of -. Petersburg,
he profcssed great interest i'll Russian
industries and was shown through many
/ of the manufactures there. BY and by
\ there came an opportunity to go through
factory where Russia leather was man
I ufactured Jewell was all smiles and
/ courtesies and seemed profoundly inter
eSted in those things which really did
not interest him and wholly blind to the
very things he went TO that place to
see Bat lie was not so blind Is they
thought When he came ont of that fac
tory. lie had discovered. as lac believed,
T the process, and he brought the discov-
cry back to tlis country with him, 81

Chair Of the Giant Idris.

One of the mountain peaks of north
Wales is known as the Chair of Idris, or
Cader Idris, rs the Welsh people call it,
because its top is followed out like an
immense couch. According to local ira
dition, whoever spends night in the
Chair of Idris will, ON the following
morning, be dead, raving mad or en-
dowed with the lof.iest poetical inspira-
tion. No one seems 10 know exactly who
Idris was or when he lived, but he must
have been giant if his body was in
proportion with his celebrated chair 3"

Chair of Idris as the theme, and Tenny.

HYPH GNATED NAMES.
Some Are st GnUine, Others simply stand
Fer SnSbbery to Distinguish.

Some Are Sc naine, Others simply Stand
Fer 9nSbbery to Distinguish.
Hgphenated names i'll Europe may be
ivided into two ategoriea-namely
those wherein the hyphen is mere piece
of snobbery and affectatiOn, and those
wherein ID Is consequent upon legal
obligation. The latter are in the minor
ity and are borne almost Invariably by
legatees and their descendants, who have
inherited property, usually real estate,
contingent upon their tacking the name
of the teStator on to their own, or else
they are men who have married heire1ScS
and been accepted as husbands for the
latter ON the condition that they should
append the family name o& their wives
to their own patronymic.
People in the other category, who use
the hyphen merely with the object Ct
creating the impression that they are OF
more ancient lineage than is really the
case, invariably prefix, instead Of aq-
pending, tho additional name. and it is
this that enables one TO distinguish the
bona fide double barrel, " rs Lord Ran
dolph Churchill used TO call them, from
those who are not, for You have only to
ask Mr. Ponsonby-J Jones for the name of
his patcrnal grandfather III order to find
ont that the old gentleman was simple
Jones, devoid Of the aristocratic Ponson-
by, whereas i'll the case OF sGrnames
adopted in Difference to testamentary
dispositions one will invariably find on
inquiry that the paternal grandfather
and ancestors bore the first of the two
patronymics.
The persons who make use Of hyphcn-
:: ated names without being compelled TO
do so are usually the owners Of patro-
nymics excruciatingly plebcian, who
hope, vainly, it is true, to redeem the
commonplace character of their name by
prefxing thereto one calculated, they
trust, TO create the impression that they
are connected with some of the great
houses of the nobility. Thus 1T is quiiC

An Object Lesson.

A good, houest farmer Was standing
in front of the courthouse a few days
ago, says the Birmingham, Ala, Daily
State, looking nlournfully at his tax re-
ceipt. He said: Il brought "a lale of
cotton here five years ago, sold it for
$40 25. With this money | paid nv
taxes, $22; got a dress for my wife, So;
shoes for the children, 50 ga barrel oof
flour, So 90; fifty pounds of sugar, "a;
ten pounds OF coffee, ~; and went home
happy with $3 10 in my pocket for the
preacher. | brought in II bale today,
sold it for $22 90; paid my taxes s22 %
and have a quarter left. They tell me |
can get flour and frocks and sugar and
shoes for half l paid then, but it pears
to me | haint got the half. I've about
made up my mind to invest this quarter
in United States bonds and howl for the
gold standard"

Sucidei.

Yesterday morning about 10 O'Clock
DIR. Jackman was called to attend an
Indian at the camps on the outskirts OF
town. The patient proved to be the
husband of one Of the mahalas who
had been Il participant in the hair pull
ing match which took place on Main
street Thursday. 1t seems that the
other Indians had been tormenting and
haunting the husband by claiming that
his wife had been whipped. The sui
eide got up early yesterday morning
brooding over the taunts went in search
OF some wild parsley with which to end
mis- earthly troubles. He was successful
in finding the plant and after eating
enough went back to his campoody.
None of the Indians noticed his condit-
ion for some hours and when DIR. Jack
man was called the man was too far
one. He lived but an hour after the
doctor reached him.

FHE BALL.

In anticipation of a good time we
have for many days looked eagerly for
ward to the coming oil the 4th of July
and the second grand annual ball to be
given by Harry Wilson Lodge No. 3l3,
Brotherhood OF Railway Trainmen. Our
anticipations were realized last Thurs
day night when the long looked-for
event took place at Music Hall.
The ball room was decorated in a uni
que and tastful manner and in a way
peculiar to railroad men. A banner
suggesting a hearty greeting mel the
eyes OF the guests az they entered the
hall. Under the middle chandelier was
IA circle OF lanterns of the colors used by
the boys when plying their vocation.
On the sides of the room were crossed
signal flags OF different colors. Banners
and bunting and lights made a very
pretty and attractive scene.
The dresses of the ladies' were pretty
and summary and the fair wearers look
ed unusually sweet and happy, a condit-
ion increased as the evening sped n
ward.
The floor was ably managed by NJ. A.
Melvin assisted by f. $. Dennis, A. c..
Webb, J.. A. Knowles. Chas. Ramsey,
w. ID. Rogers and +. A. Lewis, who en-
deavored in every possible manner to
see that every attention was given their
guests.
The grand march was led by Mr.. +.
s. Dennis and Miss Pearl Pike and the
figures were gracefully performed, end
ing with a waltz.
The supper given by Leland Spencer
was. far above the average the tables be-
ing loaded with delicacies and substan-
tails to which all did ample justice. At
supper ladies without escorts were tax
en- under the special charge Of the b. of
K. T. boys who always show their gal
lantry.
The dancers ling, re | until four o'clock
in the morning substantial evidence
that they thoroughly enjoyed the good
music and the ball. The ball room was
very comfortably filled and the evening
was remarkably cool ior this season of
the year. The arrangement and carry
ing out of details added greatly to the
evenings entertainment. The numbers
on the pretty program vi dances were
so well selected that encores were nu-
merous and many extra dances we're
given. Many were heard to remark
that they had not enjoyed a dance 20
much for a long time and the senti-
meut was universal that the affair was q
great success, socially as well as tinan4
cially. We are once more indebted to
No. BIB for a most enjoyable evening
and shall continue 70 look forward to
the 4th of July Il year hence, when,
God willing, we hope to share their
hospitality again.

An exchange truthfully remarks that
every town has its advantages and
should make the most of them. One
mar cannot make a town. The news
papers cannot do it. But one man or
ii newspaper, with the help of the wide
awake men Of the place, all pulling to-
gether, can make a wide difference in
the place. Every mar who succeeds in
a place is Il help to it. The money he
makes, if he spends it, is all the better
for the community. The larger the
business he holds up, the more he adj
vertises, the more attention is called to
the town. a town cannot build up
without helping the country. The in
terest OF one is the interest fall. There
fore all should pull together, and when
it comes to distributing the fodder to
the team don't give it all to one horse.
Scatter it around, so that all can get a
share, thereby enabling them to con
tinue the pull.
