"HARRlsoN's HONEYMOON"
Drink That Pleases Indiana Men, But Too
Slow FOR st. Louis.

Drink That Pleases Indiana Men, But Too
Slow FOR st. Louis.
They have new drink in st. Louis.
II is called the Harrison Honeymoon"
and the Republic tells about it as fol-
lows:
This knowing" boys latest coup
was the manufacture of a cool, mysteri-
GUS, delicious something he was moved
to christen "HarTison's Honeymoon"
1t was sweet and sparkling, and had
q tantalizing effervescent quality that
baffled the discriminating faculty of
the connoisseurs of drinks. The boy
smiled when he hung the sign above
the soda fountain, as a housekeeper
does when she spreads the deadly fly
poison mixed with alluring sweets on
dark brown paper and awaits the adj
vent of the confiding, silly fly. But
the boy was not so bad as the woman.
His intent was not murderous. He
wanted to see what there was in a
name, and he found out.
This was during the convention. The
first delegate who wandered In stopped
in the midst of an order for vichy to
read that sign.
'Harrison's Honeymoon Ell? Lets
have some. I'm from Indiana myself,
and I'm nothing if not patriotic. Gin
me long drink of it." He quaffed it,
and smacked his lips. Then he hurried
over to the Indiana headquarters to
tell the other fellows about it. "The
little scamp is as mum as Mckinley
about the recipe" he remarked, "but
there's some kind of fly in it that's
a great bracer." There was a great
influx of Indianians after that, and the
infection spread to Illinois and the
other adjacent states. Fortune smiled
upon, the invention.
The Harrison men went home with
out the secret of the admirable cooler.
Here it is as the author gave it to me:
One glass of ice-cold, sweet cider, rasp-
berry or strawberry juice to taste, and
a sprinxlipg of celery. It is delight
fully cooling compound, but the boy
says the st. Louis public does not care
much about Harrison or his welded
happiness, and that the demand for the
Honeymoon" ended with the close of
the convention.

TEN-MILE SWIMMING MATCH.
Society Leaders to Attempt 2 Difficult
Feat in the Open Sea.

Society Leaders to Attempt 2 Difficult
Feat in the Open Sea.
Robert Ralston, of Philadelphia, and
Charlie Oelrichs, of New York, both lead
ers in exclusive society circles, have
been matched to swim from Newport
to Narragansett Pier, distance of ten
miles, in the open sea, says the Boston
Post.
The only time this feat was accom-
plished was on September 8, 1880, when
DR.. J. w. White, now one of the instruc-
tors Of the University of Pennsylvania,
covered the distance in four hours and
forty minutes. Capt. Paul Boynton and
George Fern once attempted it, but
were taken from the water exhausted.
The match has created great excite
ment in the ultra-swagger set
Mr.. Ralston Is native of Philadel-
phia and colonel OF tho Third regi-
ment, the crack Philadelphia troop.
Charles oelrichs, like his brother Her
man, is perfectly at home in the water,
and has often remarked to his friends
that he was good for 20 miles in an
open.sea at any time. The PHILADELPHIA
ans all swear by Ralston, while Newport
and New York are backing 0elrichs.
The danger accompanying the con-
test does not detract anything from it.
The contest Is scheduled for August,
the latter part, upon any date to be
agreed upon by both contestants, but
upon the 27th If possible. Neither man
is to be allowed to partake of any re-
freshments or stimulants during the
swim, and at least one man must reach
the pier to win the wager. Nothing has
excited or will excite so much friendly
rivalry this season as this contest. The
friends of both swimmers are prepar-
ing to turn out in full force to watch the
race.
There has always been a rivalry be-
tween Newport on the one hand and
jamestown and Narragansett Pier on
the. other, and the contest has greatly
increased the old-time feeling.

STATUES OWNED BY UNCLE SAM
Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds
Makes Report.

Col. J. NJ. Wilson, superintendent OF
government buildings and grounds, has
just made an interesting report to the
war department on the statues owned
by the government in and about the
capital. According to his report there
are Is statues In the public grounds,
as follows: Washington, Greene, jack
son, Lincoln (two), Scott, Farragut,
Thomas, Dupont, Rawlins, Mcpherson,
Garfield, Hancock, Henry and Lafay-
cite, All Of these statues are in good
condition, but he says there should be
q small annual appropriation for paint
ing the pedestals and cleaning the stat
ues. The equestrian statue of Maj.
Gen. Hancock was erected during the
ys-rs&-S aveiled with appropriate GER
emonies on May 12, 1896. The pedestal
for the statue of Prof. Samuel d. Gross,
NJ. D., Ii. D., for which an appropri-
ton of $500 was made Sby congress,
was completed by the emu MAY, 1896.
It Is anticipated that the -9et,le will
be placed in position during the spring
Of 1897. The monument at Wakefield.
Va, the birthplace of Washington,
erected under the supervision Of Col.
Wilson, was transferred to the charge
Of the war department under the terms
of the act OF May %, 1896. The same
act provides that the United States
wharf, built under the directions of Col.
Wilson in 1894, could be used by the
public under such rules and regula
lions as may be prescribed therefor by
the secretary of war. Col. Wilson says
it is anticipated that within the next
three years statues will be erected in
the parks in the city of Washington TO
the memory of Gems. Sherman, sher-
idan and Logan.

SURGEONS TRIUMPH.
Take Out the Paralyzing Kinks in
a Mans Back Bone.
An Aeronaut Suffers from Terrible Fall
In Venezuela and Is Treated az
New York Hospital
May Get Well.

A most difficult and unusual surgical
operation was performed at st. Lul1e's
hospital, New York city, the other day
upon Charles Wolcott, an aeronaut,
who met with fearful accident while
making an ascension in Venezuela last
October.
When Wolcott was received at the
hospital at Caracas, the diagnosis was
fracture of the spinal column, dislo-
cation of the ankles, knees and hips, and
shock. Complete paralysis from the
waist down followed.
He had improved sufficiently in April
last to justify his removal to New York
for treatment, and he was admitted into
ST. Luke's hospital. The dislocations
had reduced in the Caracas hospital, but
partial paralysis of the trunk and legs
remained. The operation which took
place the other day was intended to re-
lieve this.
The spine was first laid open for the
length of nine inches in the middle of
the back. Several bony protuberances
were removed and an opening six inches
long was cut on the middle line of the
spinal column.
The surrounding case of the spinal
cord was next opened. 1t was found that
the cord itself was but slightly injured,
and the removal of all pressure promises
entirely to relieve the paralysis. 1t is
almost too soon to determine the exact
result of the operation, but the prog
nosis is favorable.
The accident which nearly resulted in
Wolcott's death occurred at Villa de
Cura, near Caracas, on October %. He
had made an ascent with hot air bal
loon inflated in the ordinary manner.
To the balloon was attached a para
chute from which depended trapeze.
Through lack of police supervision the
ropes supporting the parachute were
trampled in the mud.
When at a height of 5000 feet above
the earth Wolcottcut loose from the bal
loon with his parachute and began the
descend, but found, to his horror, that
the tangled ropes of the parachute pre-
vented its opening. He dropped to
hanging position under the trapeze and
waited for the shock of contact with
the earth. A moment later the para.
chute fortunately opened and broke his
fall -..

Service FormuIates . New System.
A special from Washington says:
Capt. Shoemaker, the chief Of the rev.
enue cutter service, has formulated a
system of doing work and making
purchases which simplifies the business
transactions of the treasury depart
ment in that particular branch. Not
until Capt. Shoemaker's advent was it
possible to devise and maintain a meth
cd which was at once expeditions and
economical. 1t is directed that here.
aft. all repairs of work of any descrip'
$1on involving expense shall be per-
formed on board the cutters, only after
authority for such operations has been
given from Washington. Provision, OF
course, is made for emergency work,
but greater care is to be exercised in
recommending alterations and repairs.
Close scrutiny will be given to all
reports. Hereafter only such articles
of ship chandlery, outfits and engi-
neer's stores as may be required for
actual use during the ensuing month,
shall be placed upon requisition, and
all exchanging or trading of articles
named on acquisitions, or others not
named, is prohibited. Bills for fuel
must be submitted monthly, and bills
for articles purchased must be submit
ted to the collector of the port within
4s hours after the receipt on board of
the stores. The collector will at once
advise the treasury department OF the
amount of the bills, 50 that there may
be prompt settlement.
Officers of the revenue cutter service
are warned to follow the requirements
of the new order and are cautioned not
to permit any negligence on the part OF
officers under their command

= J'the Whole Matter Kept
o. = Secret.

y Ithas been said by many who were sup
posed to be in a position TO know what
they were talking about, and by many
who pretend to be fully conversant
with the habits of Hetty Green, the
multimillionaire, that she was very
mean and penurious. A story told by a
Wooster preacher, however, proves the
facts in the case to be different. Ac-
cording to the preacher, whose reliabil-
tty Is unquestioned, many poor boy
has received a good start in life from the
very woman who has been so sighting
~ spoken of. The minister referred to
says that Mrs. Green doesn't care TO
have her good deeds made known, and
for thai reason she has gotten a rather
unsayory reputation.
In proof of his opinion he tells story
Of how missionary and his family were
eided in time of need by Mrs. Green.
Rev s. Hall, pastor of the University
church of Wooster, O., was for ten years
> missionary explorer in Alaska He
]hnd Dr.. Miner, the well-known mission
.hTv, did more toward opening the eyes
lpf the world to the beauties of Alaska
than any other people who ever visited
. Dur far~away possession. He tells the
FOLLOWING story:
while working in Alaska, as mis-
Bionary he experienced the want of
many things, sometimes including The
{ bare necessities of life. He wrote to a
friend of his and told him his condition.
At the same time he urged the friend to
keep the matter secret. The missionary
WAS very much surprised to find very
heavy box awaiting his disposition at
the trading post on his next visit to that
place, and WIS more surprised ON open
ing It to find provisions, money and
clothing. The express charges on the
box were prepaid, and it was with joy
That tho missionary finally got the box
TO his rude home, where, with his wife,
Die more closely examined it. The con
'tents of the box were probably worth
eeyeral hundred dollars.
"Upon returning to the states Rev.
Mr. Hall expected to hear that the mis-
Hionary board had sent the box, but he
Boon found out his mistake. They knew
tmcthing about it. For some time he
T&s kept in ignorance Of his unknown
5enefactor, but later found out through
accident that 1t was Mrs. Hetty Green.
Qf course, he was profuse in his thanks,
Dpt Mrs. Green told him that all she
yanted in return was to have him keep

Clocks were introduced into this coun-

came into common use. Before that
time hourglasses were generally en-
ployed, and in the churches an hour
glass on the pulpit was deemed almost
as indispensable an article of furniture
as Bible. The sermonwas measured
by glasses, and it was frequently known
that the preacher turned the glass"
