Fond of This Country.

The Great Actress Seems to BE Getting
Fond of This Country.
Duse is a familiar enough sight on the
streets of New York now, and, beyond
walking always with light cane, she
gives no evidence of i'll health in her ap-
pearance. She is invariably animated and
lively in conversation, and her dress is no.
tioeable only for it's remarkable plainness.
She usually wears long black cloak with
a full cape and a small black hat trimmed
with white lace.
There is nothing in her manner to sug-
gest the extremely retiring disposition she
is said to possess and the impression is
growing stronger every day that when the
italian actress has become more familiar
with American ways and American people
there will be less ground for regarding her
as the remarkably eccentric individual she
is at present supposed to be. She has al
ready during this engagement gone more
or less into society, and, as on her former
engagement, visits the theatres. She US
ually has most depressing effect on the
actors, for she takes her seat in the front
of the box, and from the beginning to the
end of the performance never gives the
slightest indication of any interest in the
proceedings. She stares and stares at the
stage, and the effect of their efforts upon
her can only ce matter of surnise to the
actors.
But Duse Is undoubtedly unoending.
She has agreed to play in Chicago, and
doubtless by the time she has played one
or two ere engagements in this country
she will no longer repulse the interview
ers.-New York Sun.

HEIR TO A GRAND DUoHY.
Charles Oidenburg of the California State
University May BE Grand Duke.

Charles O1denhurg of the California State
University May BE Grand Duke.
Charles Oldenburg, member of the
senior class of the California State univer-
sity, will some day be a duke if he lives
long enough. Already he is receiving
congratulations on his chances of accession
to the title. He is the great nephew of the
grand duke of Oldenburg. The grand
duke is very old and is possessed of an i'm
mense fortune. In time the title and estate
will descend to the father of the student
and eventually come to Charles Olden burg.
Charles Louis Oldenburg is the full
name of the newly discovered member of
German royalty. He belongs to the Kappa
Alpha fraternity, and to it he conhded
the secret that his father, George Martin
Oldenburg, will on death of the present
grand duke succeed to the grand duchy.
Recently word was received from Europe
that the Duchess Elizabeth, wife of the
grand duke, had suddenly died, and as
there was no issue from their marriage and
the duke is now very old it was deemed
advisable to recall the students father i'm
mediately from his mining and CONNER
cial interests in Mexico, where he has for
the past 20 years resided.
The presumptive duke, who will accom-
pany his father to Oldenburg, is spending
a few days at Stanford university with
some of his fraternity friends.-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

FOUND MARSHAL EEY's SON.
Further Proof THAT the Famous French
General Escaped Execution.

General Escaped Execution.
Rev. James A. Weston, rector of the
Episcopal Church of the Ascension at
Hickory, n. c.. who lately wrote a vol
ume entitled Historic Doubts as to the
Execution of Marshal Ney," has informed
his publisher, Thomas Whitaker of New
York, that the theory that Ney was not
killed on Dec. z, 1916, has been further
confirmed by recent researches.
According to the argument advanced in
the book, Ney was nC6 hit by the bullets
aimed at him on the field of execution, and
afterward was taken to a hospital by his
friends and fed in disguise to America,
where he lived as Peter Stuart Ney, a
schoolrnaster, in North and South Carolina
until Nov. Is, 1916, when he died
Mr.. Weston has learned that a son of
Marshal Ney called upon Peter Stuart Ney
about Il years after the latter's arrival in
America. A few days ago Mr.. Weston
found that this son, respected physician,
was living in little town near Louisville.
He is 50 years old. He admitted his iden-
tity to Mr.. Weston. He said that he came
to this country in 1897, and his father
gave him 81, 900. He entered the Jeffer-
son Medical college in PHILADELPHIA.
During his whole life in the United
States, however, he has lived under an as
sumed name. He said that on the evening
after the supposed execution his father Wis
tied the house of his mother in Paris and
remained few minutes He has written
a history of his father, which he has placed
in Mr.. Weston s hands. His identity will
not be divulged until after his death, when
his book is to be published. Pittsburg

melt away. Like rocks the Wisconsin
boys stood in their tracks. and when the
day was over and the battle won they
were knee deep in the paper that they
had bitten from their cartridges. The
windrow bore silent testimony to their
valor.
That was the way the Wisconsin regi-
ments fought. But of all gallant men
who left the Badger State to fight for
the Union none was drawer than those
who made up the regiments that COM
posed what was known as the Iron bril-
gade. The veterans of these regiments
formed permanent organization after
the war, and have elected as their chief
officers the commanders who led them
in SO many brilliant dashes during that
great struggle. At a recent meeting held
by the Iron Brigade association, General
Edward S. Bragg of Fond du Lac was
elected commander to succeed the late
General Gibbon, and he is now making
arrangements for grand reunion of the
veterans of his famous brigade.
The Iron brigade was originally COM
posed of the Second, Sixth and Seventh
Wisconsin regiments and the Nineteenth
Indiana. Its first commander was Gen
eral Rufus King, who took charge in
1862, bnt who was afterward given COM
mand of a division and was succeeded
in the command of the brigade by Cen
eral Lysander Cutler. The latter held it
for two months and then came General
John Gibbon, who. equally with Gen
eral Bragg, was beloved by the SOL
diers. The brigade had several other
commanders, among them being Colonel
Henry A. Morrow, whose regiment, the
Tw enty-fourth Michigan, was added
to it; Colonel Sol Meredith of the Nine
tenth Indiana and Colonel W. W. Rob
inson, who was severely injured at Get
tysburg, and who then turned the COM
mand over to Colonel Bragg, who was
made q brigadier general.
But whether colonel or a general,
Bragg was always in the thick of the
fight. When he left Fond du Lac at the
first call for troops, it was as captain of
Company E. known as Bragg's rifles.
In civic life General Bragg is a quiet,
inoffensive looking man. He is rather
under medium height, does not talk
much, and when he does speak it is in
low tone. But in battle he seemed an
entirely different man. His men say he
was like fiend when fighting, raving
and storming at his men and urging
them on to the most daredevil acts, him
self leading the way.
Once he saw Pennsylvania regiment
that had lost it's commander and was in
full retreat. Turning over his own regi-
ment to his lieutenant colonel, he jump
ed in before the breaking ranks Of the

THOUGHT IT A JOKE,

When the Girl Proposed He, Thought 1t
Was In Fun. So Wouldn't Marry Her.
About O'Clock the other night two
young persons, accompanied by witnesses,
went to Justice Young's Office at Atlantic
City, arrangements for performing we'd
ding ceremony having been made by the
young woman. After chatting few mo-
ments the magistrate asked the couple to
stand up. The girl stood up and was as
tonished when the young man remained
seated. He declared that he had not the
slightest intention of marrying the girl.
He said that few weeks ago the girl
asked him if he would esteem her less if
she popped the question, and he said
"No." Then she proposed to him, and he
said ''Yes'' in fun. He said he regarded the
whole affair as joke and refused to join
in a ceremony. The party retired in con-

CONGRESS- proposes to deal with the
sweat shop system in the same old way
that has been attempted many times be-
fore in connection with other evils. A
bill has been introduced imposing a tax
of $500 on contractors entering into the
sweat shop methods of manufacture.
This method of dealing with public evils
has been tried on the saloon and many
other things inimical to the public veal
and has ever been failure. Anything
that is a damage to the public should not
be tolerated at any price, but should be
suppressed. The saloon is no less an
evil when it pays a license; the sweat
shop would be no less damaging to its
victims when paying $500 year than
when paying nothing. The $500 would
come out of the victims of the system as
the saloon license comes out of the
patrons Of the saloon.

When Horace Greeley visited the bat
kIefield of Autietam, two months after
that terrific struggle, where all men
fought so bravely that the contest has
become historic, he looked over the blood
dyed ground, torn and furrowed by shot
and shell, and pointing to long wind

a perfect line across the field asked of
his guide:
General, what is that?''
"That," said the general, sis where

ACCORDING to the figures compiled by
the American Agriculturist. the aggre-
gate value of farm animals in the United
States has fallen from So, 463, ago, 900 in
1898 to o., $3.50. 420, 900 in 1896, shrinkage
in three years of $685., 1888, 900 or about
rs per cent and for the year 1895 alone
$62, $50, 600. It is now in order for the
gold monometallists to explain this enor-
nous loss on the theory of over produc-
ton, the opening up of new countries,
the lack of a sufficient banking system
or some other cause equally foreign to
the truth. The shrinkage in the value
of farm animals is the result of the same,
cause that has produced a shrinkage in
the value of land, crops and almost
everything else and these values will go
lower yet unless something is done to
arrest their downward course. The peo-
pie know what is needed bat they are
power1ess. Congress knows what is
needed but politics prevents action. The
bankers and moneyed men of the coun-
try know what is required to bring relief
but are prevented from championing the
true remedy by their selfish interests.

people went to him to request him to be

the people begging that they honor him

because of his ambition to be politician.
1t is my opinion that in a few years more
he will be forgotten entirely and allowed
to grow aged, crusty and rusty like so

become politicians and statesmen. If he

THE manufacturers of the country
seem to be in trouble and in seeking for
the cause, some of them have dropped
onto the repeal of the reciprocity clause
of the tariff act as the source of their
ills. It is a safe proposition that re-
ciprocity treaties will have little effect
on our foreign trade unless we can offer
our products at prices below those at
which the same articles can be bought
elsewhere. This we cannot do as re-
CARDS many lines, while we sell silver to
foreign purchasers at half its value to
them in other parts of the world. How
much longer will the producers of this
country continue to wander in a circlef
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-03-24

SINCE the manufacturers are convin ced
that their business will be ruined unless
they get restoration of tariff duties and
she other producing classes are equally
as firmly convinced that their business
will be ruined unless they get restora-
ton of silver to coinage. there should
not be any difficulty in these two classes
getting together on basis of protection
and free coinage. Such an arrangement
would be much better for all concerned
than INDUCING in mutual recriminations.
At present the protectionists are accus-
ing the silver men of preventing tariff
legislation, and the silver men accuse the
protectionists of preventing silver legis-
lation and both are right.

THE position of those persons who
claim to favor bimetallism aud a parity
between gold and silver and at the same

little son to 60 to swim but insisted that
he should not go near the water.
