binary uniform. He wore dark-blue fan
mel blouse and ordinary top boots, with his
trousers inside. He wore neither spurs nor
sword ard had no marks Of rank, except
his shoulder straps. Lee, on the other
hand, wore handsome uniform of con-
federate gray, fine top boots, with hand
some spurs, elegant gloves ami splendid
sword The handle of the sword was
white, with lions head at the top. Its
scabbard was of blue steel, with gilt trim
ming, and the handle was wrapped with
gilt wire. The sword is now in the posses
sion Of General Lees son, who is Presi-
dent of Washington and Lee University.
Lee was very much pleased with Grants
treatment of him at the surrender, and ne
afterward said to a friend in Richmond:
No man could have behaved better than
General Grant did under the circumstances
He did not touch my sword. The usual
custom is for the sword TO be received
when rendered, and then handed back, but
Grant did not even touch mine
Robert Il. Lees Papers.
What became of General Lees papers?"
I asked.
MANY of them were lost on the way from
Richmond to Appomatox," replied Fitz-
hugh Lee, land these were never recovered.
His letters to his wife, however, were full
of details and descriptions, and l had the
advantage of these in writing my life of

Very clear and lucid" was the reply.
He was man OF the highest character

Lee After the War.
II suppose he was very poor when the
war closed was he not?"
NO." said the general. Robert E Lee
came out Of the war without great financial
loss He had quite lot of money which he
had invested in stocks and bonds before the
war began. He kept these, and they had
risen in value. He lost sonnet thing, Of
course. but nothing in comparison with
many other well-to-do men of the south
The most of our people turned their stocks
into confederate money at the beginning of
the war and this fell day by day as we
neared the end, until 1t was at last not
worth more than ten cents yard
What did Lee do after the war had
closed?" l asked.
He had numbers of positions connected
with which were very large salaries, Of
fered him, but he cared more for quiet and
congenial work than for money and he ac-
cepted the presidency of Washington Col
lege at Lexington. He was for five years
president Of this institution. He reorgan-
lied 1t and built it up in many ways and
was still its president when he died in 1870.

the question. This bondage remains so
firmly on the finger, even while the hand
Is IN use, that 1t enables the patient to re-
turn at once to his work or play, even after
receiving a rather serious injury.
The bandage is made by measuring off
a piece of cloth, preferably soft linen, twice
the length Of the finger to be bandaged
and cutting II square. This cloth should
be folded double, and cut as indicated in
the accompanying sketch. The bandage Is
then opened and placed upon a fat surface
on ones knee, for instance-and the fin
ger to be bandaged laid on 1t with the
palm of the hand down. The upper flap
Is then turned down. and the first set Of
tails is tied over it with only one knot,
leaving the ends loose. These are IN turn
covered by the second set of tails The
remainiI tails are tied in exactly the
same way. except that the last set Is lied
In double knot, so as to make the ban
dage entirely secure. In tying the tails
they should be drawn snug, but not too
tight. This makes a neat, firm and very

MRS. LEASE DENIES.
Says She Has Not Purchased a House
 in Kansas City.

WICHITA. Kan, July 2S.-The re- port that Mrs. Lease has bought a house in Kansas City, Kan, and pro poses to move there, taking with her MT. Lease and the rest of the family, has attracted no little attention here. She is now in St. Louis and little can be found out concerning the reliability of the news.
 It is very plain that she can buy a house most anywhere if she wants to-. Her intimate friends say she has made over $50,000 out of the reform business and the beauty of it all is that she has the most of it in banks It is under stood that she has most of it deposited in Kansas City and this causes sus- picion that she may have concluded to move to Kansas City, Kan, where she can continue to press the political but ton and call up cash receipts.

CREST FROM WASHINGTON Bryan Will Not Be Mo-

Tho Director or the Mint Will Issue
 Circular-Sentimen of New
 England Reported.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-So num- erous are the questions brought to the treasury by every mail seeking infor- nation relative to financial and cur rency matters the overworked clerical forces of the director of the mint have been totally unable to answer them. All the available copies of the report of the director of last year, which con- tained tables and information and which answer a large portion of the queries, have been exhausted and at last the department has hit upon a device of printing circulars containing in succinct forms statements and facts relative to coinage, bullion production, circulation per capita in various man. ners, and such other information as will meet the needs of many persons who are now seeking facts on which to base convictions respecting the is- sues of the campaign.
 The matter embodied in this cir cular has been carefully considered and has the approval of the secretary of the treasury. It is expected that the circular itself will be received from the printer for distribution about the end of the week.

The whole of the long transcript of appeal, numbering 2,4O9 pages, is bound in three volumes and has been completed, signed by the trial judge and is now ready for presentation before the su- preme court. If everything goes promptly, allowing for the number of days the supreme court is granted for hearing, the number of days allowed the trial judge for resentencing a crim- inal and the furthest limit day of ex- ecution, Durrant has about four more months of life.

HOKE SMITH.
Hands in His Resignation to Square
 Himself at Home.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Beyond a question the president has Hoke Smiths resignation in his hands. Whether he will accept it is purely speculative. It is not a new thing for Secretary Smith to resign. He tried to quit the cabinet when President Cleveland refused to sign the seign- forage bill. He strongly opposed the presidential action on that occasion, and when he was turned down, promptly wrote his resignation and was dissuaded from stepping down and out with considerable difficulty. The secretary made a campaign for the gold standard in his state (Georgia) on behalf of the administration only a few months ago, and was literally overwhelmed by the free silver ava lanche. Having heavy property in terests in Georgia, and also further political ambitions, self-interest de- manded that he ally himself with the majority, but it is an open secret that when he resolved upon this step he placed his resignation in the hands of his chief as a preliminary in climbing into the band wagon.
