cOlcSEL John " WILSON

limit Colonel Wilson was recently trans
f.rred from Washington TO the northeast
divis on, which includes New York and
New England.
Colonel Wilson has had the rather
unique and. fer an army officer, unusu-
al experience CT having refused to drink
with two presidents Of the United
States. The first occasion was at the
cluse Of the long and fatiguing day Of
Cleveland's fist Inauguration, in con-
ductiny the details of which Colonel
Wilson had al important part. When it
wasall over the president suggested that
they t;.ko Il quiet little drink" toseth-
er. A decanter Of whisky was pro-
drced. With moral courage not less
conspicuous than had been his physical
courage III the time Of war the colonel
firmly declined the invitation Of the ma
ton 5 chief executive, saying, II can
not join you in drink Of whisky, for /
have never dunk spirits and never mean
to duso." The colonel therefore pledged
Ike president health in & lass If apo,-
l.nris. He had u similar experience on
the occasion Of Harrison inauguration.
As tCfore, the president, after con-
graduating him upon the successful
management Of the ceremonies, suggest
e,l that they take u drink together in
honor Of tine occasion. Colonel Wilson
again declined. and drank President
uarrisou's health in n glass Of water.
Colonel Wilson has had rather
br: lliant military career and combines
III n high degree the distinguishing
traits Of II soldier and gentleman He
was born in the District Of Columbia,
and is about So years Of age. He entered
West Point in 1855. being appointed
from Washington territory. and gradu.
aied in 1860. joining the Engineer corps,
with which he has since been connected
He served with distinction all through
the war Of tine rebellion and was sue
ccssivcly promoted for gallant and mer-
itorious service in the battle Of Gaines

campaign Around Mobile. in the capture
of Spanish Fort and at Fort Blakeley,

The reasons assigned by the school
committee for tho discontinuance Of
states, slate pencils and sponges in the
public schools and tho substitution of
paper, lead pencils and rubber c-asers
in their places are as follows:
First.-A light gray mark upon a
slightly darker gray surface is moro or
less indistincs and trying to the eye
sight.
Second. The resistance Of the hard
pencil upon the hard slate is trying to
the muscles. and the resistance to which
the muscles arc thus trained must be
overcome when beginning to write with
pencil or pen upon paper.
Third. The use Of states, sla.e pen
ellis and sponges is a very uncleanly Gus
tom and leads to and establishes very
uncleanly habits. Boston Herald

WOMEN IN CRITlSA POLITICS.
They Are Conducting . Three Coruefed
Campaign For the Premiership.

inc kremierSnfp.
The inGuenceSf women in tho high
places Of British politics has not been
conspicuous in this generation. This fact
adds interest to the particularly warm
feminine campaign which uas been
waged ever since Tory minds became
convinced Of the probability of an early
return Of the Conservative party TO pow
er. The prize which the fair disputants
are struggling FOR is no less than the
premiership Of England. Three Of the
most brilliant women in Great Britain
are the leaders Of rival hosts which with
in the higher circles Of Tory society are
keeuly pressing the claims Of their re-
spective champions.
These ladies' are the Duchess Of Devon
shi.e, the Warehouses Of Salisbury
Miss Balfour. 1t is not an exasgeration
to say that the ambition for the party's
leadership Of the three men whose names
these ladies' bear has been allowed to
rest in their hands as far as seeking sup
port within the party Is concerned. 1t
is 10 vulgar political canvass, but rival.
" lone the less genuine and important.
Those who know the three women credit
the Duchess Of Devonshirc with greater
skill and cleveruess in political affairs
than her husband or indeed most Of the
other party leaders, but most people
agree that her present task is beyond
her powers.
The situation most favors Miss Bal.

WANT TWO sMOKEsTACKs.
Russian Jews Refuse Ito Travel on a YES
sci Equipped With But One.

A steamship ticket agent OH the east
side whose business Us chiefly with Polish
and Russian Hebrews who are ABOUT to re-
turn TO their homes tells of a popularity
of his customers. No one of them wants
OF travel on vessel having only one
smOkestack. Somehow these people have
an idea that ship is not safe, handsome,
comfortable and speedy unless she has
two or three stacks. Their passage costs
them only $50, and they are not sOlicitous
about baths or THE decorations of their
quarters, but on the point of a single fun
mel they are as firm as a rock. A great
many passenger steamships have only one
stack. Some new ones i'm which the steer
age accommodations are especially rOOmy
and we'll ventilated have no IN Ore, and the
returning Poles insist that they will not
travel ON them. The ticket agent feels
no cOmpunctiom about assuring their Gus
toners that the ship ON which they are
going to sail has three "rochcfs" (smok
ers), as the Hebrews call them, and even
point to q big picture ON the watl of her
which serves as the likeness of any YES
sell which may be talked of.
When the man and his family arrive at
the pier on the day of sailing there is
likely to be trouble when he discovers
that his Ship has only one miserable
smOkeStack. Sometimes the people re-
fuse pointblank to go on board, and say
they will wait for steamer with three
smokers" An effective subterfuge has
been invented for such cases. Solemn as
surance is given that the ship has three
or even four smOkestacks, hut that all
but one short one were taken down 50
THAT the Ship could pass under the Brook
lyn bridge. AS soon as she got out to sea
the additional stacks would he put i'm
place and she would speed proudly on her
way. The ignorant east slider doesn't
know that the vessel passing to sea from
the Hudson river never gets within two
miles of the bridge, and takes his family
on board. What he says and 1oes when
he learns that he has been deceived does
not bother the ships officers particularly
