why People Forget Names.

Many persons are especially forgetful
with regard to names. They are en-
barrassed to find that, they cannot, on
the spur of the moment, recall the name
of an acquaintance, or that of some IA
miliar object, although. in other re-
spects, their memory is not treacher-
GUS. DR.. Bastian, in discussing such
defects, recently quoted, with approval,
this explanations: "The more concrete
the idea the more readily is the word
used to designate it forgotten when
the memory fails. We easily represent
persons and things to ourselves with
out their names. More absence con-
ceptions, on the contrary, are; attained
only with the aid of words, which alone
give them their exact shape in. our
minds" Hence verbs, adjectives, pro-
nouns, adverbs, propositions and con-
functions are more intimately related
to thought than nouns are, and can be
remembered when nouns, or names.

THE HAYES HOMESTEAD.
The PreBident's Father Was Not Born
-.a in the Vermont House..

The PreBident's Father Was Not Born
-.s. in the Vermont House. v,...
So much has been said and written
concerning the historical Hayes home
stead in West Brattleboro, which was
built more that hundred years ago
and which has been credited, although
'erroneously, with being the birthplace
Of the father of President Hayes, thata
brief mention of the old documents and
other, antiquities that are to be found
there, relics of long past days, is needed
to make the story complete. The old
homestead was built about the wear
1900 by Rutherford Hayes, grandfather
of President Hay yes, who came from New
Haven, Conn.,, in 1778, and located in
West Brattleboro in, the house where
Mrs. Myron Thurber now lives: 1t was
first occupied as private residence, but
In 1916 it was converted into tavern
and became a favorite stopping place
for statesmen, teamsters and others
who felt, OF imagined they felt, the need
of invigoration by means of liquid re-
freshment. The bar-room was in the
northeast corner of the tavern and the
bar was next to the partition between
the room and the hall, hole being cut
through the partition for the accommo-
dation of teamsters, who could get their
drinks without freezing out the bar
room ,loafers by opening the door and
allowing the cold winter air to rush in.
The license to Rutherford Hayes "by
the honorable county court to keep a
tavern or. house of public entertain
ment,' issued in 1896 by Richard Whit
ney, clerk, is also in the possession, cE,
Mrs. Bigelow. But the eldest document.
or all is the deed of the land U~on which
the tavern was built from Israel Smith
in 1883. Israel Smith was lieutenant
in the revolutionary war, and married
daughter Of rutherford Hayes. An
other interesting document is that
which gave Mr.. Hayes the privilege to
shut up the, road leading from his
house by the pound to the village" on
account of the turnpike road having
been put in on the other side of the
tavern, now the highway leading to
Marlboro. This document was c:rTned
by Selectmen WaitstiH Cross, Jabez
Wood and Joseph Clark. A certificate

Republican league club No. II held
an interesting meeting at Scholz's hall
last night. In the absence of Mr.. Sam
L. Hahn, the president, Mr.. James p.
Newcomb, was called to the chair, Mr..

The first business before the meet
ing was the election of officers for the
ensuing year, which resulted as fol-
lows: President John B. Walter;
vice president, C. V. Cox; secretary,
Chas. Weiss; treasurer, Julius Open
heimer, Jr.
There was quite a spirited contest in

lowing were chosen: Delegates-A. H.
Shafer, II. l.. Degener, James p. New

BEEF INSPECTION.

The ordinance now before the city
council to provide for the inspection
of animals intended for slaughter, be-
fore they are killed, is of vital impor-
lance to the people. The. fact that the
beef furnished by our butchers is with
out a shadow We caution that it is
we'll known that hundreds of animals
slaughtered annually are diseased;
that even beef has been sold of ami
mails which have died from suffocation
or bruises and burns inflicted by a rail-
road accident, that animals afflicted
with cancerous ailments have been
killed and the beef sold to our people
in fact that there has been no attempt
made to inspect or regulate the slaugh-
ter of animals is sufficient cause for
our citizens to hold a mass meeting
and make a protest to the city gov
eminent, but this will not be necessary
now that an ordinance is before the
council. This is a step in the right di-
rection, but the inspection of meats
will never be anywhere near efficient
until the city controls the slaughter
business, and the inspection covers
meat slaughtered as we'll as the live
animal. - 81

WHAT GOOD DOES 1T DO?

What purpose can it serve to mis-
represent the facts in specials from
Washington claiming everything for
Green and nothing for Grant. The de-
ception is too thin to deceive even the
San Antonio reader of the leading
Democratic paper of West Texas. The
D ms. enumerated as slated for ap-
pointment are all in Judge Noonan's
district showing clearly that the Judge
and DR.. Grant are pulling in the same
team, while Green, Hawley & Co., are
not allowed to play in DR.. Grants back
yard. Hence there are no appoint
ments in other districts. The Express
specials that puff up Mr.. Green's liable
substitute" at Washington bear the
ear marks of our dear friend DR.. Geo.
When the tariff days are over we will
see how the AK will drop. The ap-
pointment of DIR. Grants band of med
ical examiners for this city does not
look very much like Grant being
knocked out. N.

CITY TOPICS.
SHALL THE CITY LEASE ITS
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.


Mayor Callaghan has expressed his
opposition to lending the public school
buildings to private school teachers
during the summer vacation. There
are numerous applicants for these
buildings, among the number the
Sons of Hermann"make request for
the use of a school building to have
the German language taught. The
mayor is opposed to lending these
buildings because they are the prop
erty of all the people; they are built
for the especial use of the free schools;
they have cost large sums of money
and after continuous use for nine
months, need to be looked after,
thoroughly renovated and repaired
ready for use at the beginning OF sep
TENDER, next. If an exception is made
in favor of any particular applicant
the mayor and school board will be
greatly blamed for favoritism. There
are numerous halls and buildings suit
able for private schools, can be rented,
and as these schools are conducted on
the pay system it is only appropriate
that they should be outside of the free
school buildings. AS there must be
limit to this thing of lending the public
school houses now is good time to
settle it, Mayor Callaghan will call
meeting of the school board to consid-
er this matter.

A conflict has occurred at Vera Cruz
between twenty marines of the Span
ish gunboat Nueva Espana and Jos
Lang and Charles Holbrook, of Tex
as, and about a score of Mexicans
who sympathized with. the Americans,
The Texans used their knives and the
marines their bayonets. The Next
cans were not armed but they render
ed effective assistance to the Ameri-
cans.
The trouble was ended only by the
appearance Of large force of police
and a company of a hundred soldiers,
ordered out by the authorities.
The fight was caused by the raines
who shouted viva Cuba Espano" in
the streets. These were answered by
the cries of Cuba Libre" from the
Americans. They were Immediately
attacked by the Spanish and would
unquestionably. have been killed had ii
not been for the assistance of the citi-
zens of Vera Cruz, who seeing theil
! peril, and noting the fact that they
were overwhelmingly outnumbered
FASTENED to their assistance.
The police arrested the whole party
but the consuls of both nations inter.
ceded in their countrymen's behalf
