The congress makes an annual appro-
priation of $4,000 for the stationery,
kilograms and other contingent ex-
penses; and that is seldom a sufficient
sum for the payment of all contingent
expenses, so that sometimes the presi-
dent is obliged to use his private funds
for library books and other contingent
expenses which are necessarily Incl
dent to his office, and in no sense per-
sonal to himself.
One of the best presidential per-
quisites is the steam yacht which is
placed at the disposal of the president
by the secretary of the navy. For many
years the Dispatch has been used by
presidents for recreationary trips, but
President Cleveland prefers the light

England coast, The Tallapoosa was q
swift sloop which was often used by
President Hayes; but the Tallapoosa
was sunk in collision with Yankee
fishing smack off the Massachusetts,
coast, and the Dispatch has been the
official yacht for the presidents ever
since.
Do you remember that when Harrison
was president he had grandson named
Benny Mckee? He was no brighter
and no better than other little boys, but
the newspapers were filled with lauda-
tions of Baby Mckee, and his peculiari-
ties. One morning President Harrison
went aboard the Dispatch for n trip
down the Potomac, and took his family
with him. OF course Baby Mckee was
there, too. In compliance with the
request of the employees at the navy
yard, President Harrison came on deck
and began to make little speech to the
men, when Baby Mckee inside the yacht
began to cry and howl over some baby
trouble. He yelled and yowled and
howled, until he broke up the speech
of his grandfather, who went inside,
pacified the kid, and then came back to
conclude his speech to the worllingmen.
When he went on his speech-making
tour in 1891, President Harrison did not
take Baby Mckee with him. He conse-
quently did not have his oratory dis
turbed by competition with the erratic
lungs of his precocious grandchild.

secretary of the navy has made use of

Mr.. Byers, who relates that anecdote,
narrates in Human Documents" other
personal recollections of ''Sherman's
March TO the Sea" through swamps and
woods and over bridgeless streams.
The general shared all the privations
and hardships of his soliers-sleeping
under tent fly" and in his uniform.
One night Sherman and his staff
lodged in a little deserted church they
found in the woods. The general him
self would not sleep on the bit of car
pet on the pulpit platform. Keep that
for some of you young fellows who
are not WE'LL" he said, laughingly, as
he stretched himself out on a long, hard
bench.
| When the army reached Goldsbor-
ough, half the men were in rags. One
day n division was ordered to march
| past the general in review. The men
were barelegged, ragged, and some of
them almost hatless. only look at the
poor fellows with their bare legs" said
an officer.
"Splendid legs!" retorted the general,
with twinkle in his eye: splendid
legs! Would give both mine for any one
of them"
Every man in the army knew the gen.
erals face, and thousands spoke with
him personally, and at times with anus
ing familiarity. Don't ride too fast,
general" they would cry out, seeing
his horse plunging in the mire at the
roadside, as he tried to pass some divi'
sion. Pretty slippery going, Uncle
Billy, pretty slippery going" Say,
general, kin you tell us is this the road
to Richmond?"
The generals simple style of living,
which meant army rations and such
chickens as his cook could forage, with
sleeping under sly" pitched in the
woods, showed the men that their
privations were shared by the com
mander, and made them ready to go
anywhere and do anything he might
order. There is official record that one
division waded through swamps, and
fOrded 35 rivers where the cold water
often reached to the mems waists

HE FLOUR OurPuI.
Production ard Comparison at the Four
 Great Centers.

OcSat Oenb6rS.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 23.-The North western Miller reports as follows of the flour trade and the output for the past week at four centers, with comparisons
 Minneapolis, 321 300 barrels; same week last year, 973,905 barrels.
 Superior Duluth, 38, gro barrels last year, 84, ,820 barrels.
 Milwaukee. Al ,5IO barrels; last year, 36, 765 barrels
 Totals, 450, $50; last year, 395, ,490
 St. Louis, 86,000 barrels; last year, 6S, $50 barrels
 Aggregate, 537 ,0S4 barrels; last year, 463, $40 barrelss~- Previous week, 83.545.
 Minneapolis-The output this week promises to exceed all former figures. Flour was very active last week, but the conditions were easy for the millers to deal with, owing to the heavy advance in wheat. Where millers put offers out Saturday they were snapped up on the 5-cent advance Monday, particularly by foreigners, and the seller had little chance to protect himself This had q tendency to cause millers to pull out of the market until prices should become settled With foreign markets strong about Wednesday importers began to take four freely, and the sales from that on were heavy, patent being chief ly worked.
 Superior Duluth-Owing to the ex- cited wheat market millers found it diff ficult to do business and put out quota tions subject to confirmation
 Milwaukee-The cratic wheat mar ket leaves matters unsettled, and while some of the millers are strongly opposed to it others favor shutting down
 Valley of the Ohio-The advance in wheat brought plenty of orders for four
 Tennessee-The situation was practi- cally unchanged.
 New York City-On the whole the market was active and strong, especially on winter wheat four.
 Boston-More activity was shown than i'll some time.
 Chicago-Exporters were unable to sell heavily, foreign bids being about shilling too low, but the trade generally was brisk and holders firm.

 PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 23.-Fair weather again favored Princeton to- day and made the exercises of the sesquieentennial anniversary day doub- ly enjoyable. The presence of the pres ident of the United States had the ef- feet of increasing the already large crowd in the town, and Alexander hall, in which the ceremonies of the day were held, was packed almost to suffo- cation when Rev.

Previous to the be- ginning of the celebration the Phila- delphia City troop assembled at the home of President Patton, where Presi- dent and Mrs. Cleveland were guests over night, and escorted the head of the nation on foot through the university grounds to Alexander nall Mrs CleYe- land was driven i'll all open carriage un- der the escort of Mrs Patton to the hall
 Delegates representing institutions of learning all over the world and the fac ulty assembled at Marquand chapel and clad ill their academic gowns, made their impressive march to Alexander hall, preceding President Cleveland After Dr. Guyier's prayer President Pat ton made the formal announcement that what was for erly the College of New Jersey will henceforward and forever be known as Princeton university.
 The ceremony of conferring degrees on 65 men elected for that honor was next on the programme
