ouch work of inquiry must, of course
pe performed with discretion. as the
general although called the plainest of
pam heroes, was alive to the IDENTITIES
OF the occasion, and did not want the
secret OF his predicament sown broad
cast. However, after several hours of
search the scouting party returned and
conveyed INTO his presence an assert
ment of flaming brilliancy in mascu-
line attire which caused his parlor
room to look like a sort of masouerode
costuming bazar. There were police
Hen uniforms and mail carriers cloth
ing and militia garments and Knights
or Pythias attire and campaign suits
all gathered from clothing stores far
ana wide. At last the general succeed

back to the secondhand clothing en-
Forums from whence they had been
brought, the proprietors of these stores
never knowing fer whom or for what
purpose this collection of uniforms had
been ransacked.
One of the morning papers the next
day said that Gen. Grant looked every
inch the patriotic soldier. His dignified
bearing was enhanced by his simple
but glorious uniform of blue-glorious
because of its associations. It is said
that this is the uniform which the gen
eral wore in the Wilderness, but when
he was asked about it the hero smiled
and was silent. What magnificent.
what patriotic memories must be con-
nected with that suit of blue! There
are men, patriots, who, if they had
it to give. would gladly yield fortune
for it."
How grievous are circumstances!
How cruel it is that opportunity is so
seldom recognized and that men crave
to-day what yesterday they might have
had for the asking. Any Of those per-
sons who would cheerfully have given
fortune for that uniform, rich with it's
associations, might have had it the day
before by calling at shop in Wauzee
street and turning over to the propri-
etor $4.65 lawful money of the United
States. You see, that was one easel
where the man made the clothes, in
stead of the clothes making the man.

THE LATEST FAD.

Autograph Hats Now the Rage with Col
lege Students and Summer Girls.
One of the new fadS that started with
the Cornell university boys is the fash
ion of wearing autograph hats. One
sees them everywhere, for college men
in other colleges have taken it up, and
have scattered themselves here and
there among the summer girls. The
hats are made of white canvas, with
stitched brims. Names can be written
in ink anywhere on the surface. One
of these had several names of we'll
known men written upon it, among
them the man who pulled stroke for
the Cornell eight that won such a glori-
Gus victory over Pennsylvania, Harvard
and Columbia in that memorable boat
race at Poughkeepsie.
Sentimental young men collect the
names of their sweethearts, though
this has it's drawbacks, because there is
always the chance that the last girl will
want to know all about the other girls
whose names she finds written on the
hat before hers. The words are usual
ly printed. though script makes pref
tic1 hat and looks less like an advertis-
ing device. To see stalwart young col
lege men stalking along with these hats
ON gives one the impression of one of
those impecunious individuals who
march up and down upon the business
streets with a printed placard on their
backs to the effect that "a regular din
ner can be had at the Blank dairy lunch
for 20 cents"
However, the fad is growing, and by
fall the white hats will be black.

POKER AN INDEX OF INSANITY

Forgetting to Ante Urged as Ground for
Breaking q Will.
During the contest over the Will OF
John B. Haskin, who was known in
nolitics as "Tuscarora" Haskin, one of
the witnesses gave testimony to SHOW
that failure to properly play the game
of poker is an evidence of insanity, says
New York dispatch In the providence
journal. Mr.. Hasltin left an estate val
ned at over 81, 900, most of which he
beuueathed to his son. His daughter
and grandchild contested the Will.
BENJAMIN f. Coin said Mr.. Haskln was
very fond of poker and was very care
full PLAYER until the spring of 1892, when
he became careless, often holding his
cards so that the other players coulo see
them.
"Did he ever forget to ante|
"Oh. frequently; and others did it
for him."
"Well. that is hardly proof of insan-
;tv" said counsel for the son. 10
forget to ante is not unusual in game
between American gentlemen. Dla
Mr.. IEaskin forget to play his hadlo
when the other players had their ante
up?"

latter paid no attention to him. The

How the Bookkeeper Got His Revenge
on the Slangy Messenger.
This is the story of a crusty book
keeper and a bad, bad messenger boy.
The bookkeeper is employed in a large
Chestnut street house. The messenger
boy is a part of the mighty service OF
the Western Union Telegraph company,
saws the Philadelphia Record. The boy
crawled into the office where the book
keeper sat at his desk early yesterday
morning and asked for Mr.. c., the
head of the firm.

"No," said the boy; ga man asked me
to come here and see if he was in

keeper.
"I'll wait" said the boy.
"What for?" inquired the other.

The bookkeeper looked back for a
minute, then he said: ''All right. wait,

MATCHBOX OF THE NEW WOMAN
Man No Longer the MonopoIist of This
Convenience.

Man No Longer the MonOpolist of This
Convenience.
Until this year the matchbox has been
the unquestioned, exclusive property OF
man. Never once did he think of such
@. thing as the fairer sex borrowing it,
He may have had a presentiment OF
her laying claim to his necktie, but his
matchbox-never, says the Chicago
Tribune.
But the bicycle girl, who makes what
ever she wants possible, has now laid
siege to mans matchbox. If she con-
templated riding at night she needs
matches to light hel lamp, and neces-
sarily she must carry them in match
box.
That is the reason that there are
any number of new matchboxes this
year which are smaller and more dainty
than anything in this line ever seen be-
fore.
'Do the girls buy them?" prominent
ieweler was asked. To which question
he answered: eyes, indeed. The small
er sizes are made particularly for their
special use."
The prettiest of the new matchboxes
for girls are of gold with an enameled
decoration. The enameling either takes
the form of a college or yacht club
flag or it resembles a hand-painted
miniature showing a girl on wheel
or the head of dog. Many of these
matchboxes are made with concealed
recess for photograph. 1t is only when
a certain spring is touched that the pic
ture can be seen, so sllillfully it is hid
den away.
The silver matchboxes, decorated
with the outline of a tiny bicycle in
enamel, are also new and much less ex-
nensive.

 How much money is there in the treasury at present." the reporter cas- ualIy queried.
 Mir Cole plainly did not like the question. It was apparent disagree able subject has been touched upon; a subject that the retiring treasurer fain would dismiss from his mind, bur- dened already with other subjects, of more personal interest.

 Those who pretend to the knowledge
 
 assert there should lie in the vaults of the Phoenix Nation al bank something like $2OO,- 900 of the money of the territory, drawn from the people by taxation. This money is tied up for the most part by little suit brought in the dis trict court by Druggist Wakelin Ca rel ative of M. H. McCord, late of the board of controD for the payment out of or der of a couple of microscopic war rants. In the meantime no market at any price can be found for the warrants Of the territory and the territory is paying ten per cent per annum on war rants that might be paid by the cash that now is part of the working cap ital Of the bank of which Mr. Cole is an active officer, manager and stock holder.

Pettigrew said: T left the conven- tion because I believe the financial question to be the only vital question in the campaign and as I could not support or advocate single gold standard. I thought I owed it to the convention not to longer participate in it's proceedings and believe the main tenance of a gold standard will result in further decline in prices to the ut ter ruin of ali producers of wealth and that our adoption of that standard in part is the cause of the present panic, enforced idleness and misery among our people. I believe the gold of the world is cornered by the professional creditors of the world.'
