4 PIONEER SHOEMAKER,
WORKING IT HIS TRADE ALTHOUGH EIGhTY-FIv ' YEARS old.
MI. James MchAlIen. Of Champaign, Has Followed the S~hoernakeTs
Trade All His Life Every Day at His Bench Working with Appa-
emily the Same vgor as Young Man-A Sketch Of Hislfe.
From the Gazette CHAMPAIGN, III.

At the advanced age of eighty-6ve years,
James McMillen, of 112 West Washington
street, is one of the most active men in Cham.
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McMillen is q pioneer
citizen of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets as that of any citizen Of the
town. All his life Mr.. McMillen has fol.
lowed the trade of.shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was a young man.
He has a little shop on North Wright street,
in the vicinity of the University of Illinois,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students Of that institution.
About q year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously i'll. For months he was a
sufferer, but finally he appeared again at
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps, on account Of
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again, and they were more surprised
There was NJ small amount of local inter.
est in his case, and O reporter visited him.

1t may seem strange, but it is q fact that I

IA few days later the swelling began to 60

Costumes Of tho Spreewctd,

Consul General De- Kay writes a pa
per entitled IAN Inland Ecnice'' for
The Century. II is a description Of life
il the Serbian swamp, Vcndland. Mr..
De KY says: "Sc!.ool oat" at the vii
lage school Ct Burg is a pretty sight.
The substantial brick building overlooks
the eyer murnluring highway, and the
boys and girls, instead Of stringing up
a dusty road, tumble into punts and
pole away for dear life-the boys much
like other boys, but the girls reduced
facsimiles of their mothers and elder
sisters, clad in bright but short raiment
and visible afar Off through their strange
mob caps with wings. AS one moves
down stream from Burg by Leipe to
Lubbenau, these wings grow smaller
and collapse, while the skirts grow
longer and more resemble the ordinary
dress of ome At a dance the Spree.
valdez knows instantly, by the pecul-
iarities Of her costume, from what vii
lage a woman or girl has come. AT
Leipe the multudinous skirts of alarm
ing girth are no more The gown reaches
the ankles, and the cap fits close to the
head instead of resting on a framework
as in Burg. Thus the dress in Leipe is
perhaps more graceful, but it is more
commonplace. It no longer t~estiies tc
that pride of the peasant father or hus
band which is shown by the number Of
yards in the skirts Of his woman foil
and the variety Of their caps, by the
richness Of their dress as well as theil
jewelry.

England's Traditional Enemy Not Behind
Her In armament.

England's Tradition Enemy Not Behind
Her In armament.
The French navy ranks next to that
Of England in numbers, while in eff
cheney and fighting qualities the French
ships are fully equal to their English
rivals. In fact, in naval architecture the
French early took the lead, and many
of the English types Of ships We're mod
eled after the French designs, says The
Chautauquan. One Of the chief differ
ences between the English and the
French armored ships today is in the
disposition Of the armor and the conse-
quent design Of the hull. English de-
signers have striven to protect the men
working the guns, and to do this they
have reduced the length Of the ships
armor. French and naval architects, on
the other hand, have given little atten-
ton to the protection Of men and a great
deal to the protection of the water line.
Therefore they hayye reduced the breadth
of the ships armor.
1t is worthy of note that France is
the only great power which levies a tax
on such Of her citizens as either do
not enlist i'll the standing army or VIII
enlist fer a shorter term than three
years. Only those who are officially de-
clared "lmpecunious' are exempt from
such a tax. 1t is payable annually as
long as the liability to service lasts, and
the evenue from this source amounts to
about 80, 900, 900 francs, or Sc, 600, 900,
annually.
The officers Of the French army re-
ceive a very thorough education at the
different military schools. At the head
Of these (although not exclusively mill
tary) stands the Polytechnic school in
Paris, which admits $50 pupils annually
after a competitive examination. The
course occupies nine months in the year
for two years.
AS it is impossible to keep under arms
for three years the entire annual contin
gent of recruits, the law provides for
the discharge of thoroughly trained men
at the end Of the first or second year Of
active service III such proportions as to
bring down the peace strength of the
army to tie number annually determin-
ed upon by the general assembly. Pref
crcns1s ii this connection are decided
by lot. For this purpose every recruit
1t his enroilIlci:C draws number, and
only those hG.lIg tie highest numbers
axe entitled t. consideration.

Figures bothered Him.

Lord Randolph Churchill never knew
anything even of simple arithmetic,
which is possibly why he was made
chancellor Of the e%xchequer. Sir Alger-
non West tells how Randolph said to a
clerk who put some figures before him,
II wish you would put those figures
plainly SO that lean understand them,'
and vhen the clerk said he had done his
best and reduced them to decimals the
chancellor of the exchequer exclaimed,
"Oh, l never could understand what
those - dots meant!'

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, September 10, 1897.
Senator Foraker was in Washing
ton several days this week III connec-
ton with meeting of the sub-com-
mittee of the senate committee on
Pacific railroads, of which heis chair
man, to investigate certain affairs Of
the Union Pacific Railroad company,
under the Pettigrew resolution adopt
ed by the senate at the last session
Of congress. Those Democrats who
have been saying that Senator For
aker was not really in favor of the
success of Senator Hanna in Ohio
ought to have heard him talk about
the prospects OF the campaign he will
help to open and In which he will take
an active part. He is not only
earnestly in favor OF Senator Hanna's
success, but absolutely certain of it.
The Democrats of Ohio have virtual
ly abandoned their entire platform
and are now depending solely upon
abuse of Senator Hanna and the cor
rupt use of John r. McLean's money
In Cincinnati and elsewhere.
Secretary Wilson's vacation, from
which he returned this week, was filled
with hard and useful work from start
to finish. lie Was absent from the
department. of agriculture about a
month, and the entire time was spent
IN making a personal investigation
OF the condition Of agriculture in the
trans Mississippi states as far west
as Utah and Montana, giving special
attention to irrigation, horse raising
and sugar beet growing The trip
was made for the purpose OF gaining
information to aid in carrying out
the intentions of President Mckinley
and Secretary Wilson that the depart
ment of agriculture shall furnish
practical aud valuable information
to the farmers of the country-infor-
nation that will enable them to in
crease their profits and generally i'm
prove their condition, Secretary
Wilson said: II found the farmers in
especially good spirits wherever |
went. There is no doubt that conf
dence Is restored, and that the coun-
try Is justified in its anticipations Of
better times. The people are all busy
In the vest The secretary thinks
that the cultivation OF the sugar beet
will steadily increase until this coun-
try produces all the sugar it uses.
Postmaster General Gary, who has
just returned from New York, where
he spent some days carefully studying
the practical work of handling the
mails in the country's biggest post
office, is confident that a system of
postal savings banks will be started
before the close of the present admin
istration. So confident does he feel
OF this that he is gathering informa-
ton from all countries having postal
savings banks in order that our sys-
tenn, when it is introduced, shall be
the best In the world

q sa-lS4assEzE"
will be known as Wisconsin day,
when Star Pointer and Joe Patchen
will pace for a S., 600 purse. Thurs
day, September %, will be known as
Milwaukee day On each of these
three days an especially interesting
program has been prepared, which will
be announced from time 30 time
through the press. Friday, the last
day of the fair, and heretofore char
acterized by dwindling attendance,
will this wear have the most interest
ing program of any day in the week.
1t will be known as State u. A. X.
day. A special one-half fare rate Of
admission to the grounds will be
made to the "Boys in Blue" wearing
the Grand Army button, and it is
expected that many thousands OF
them will be in line for review in front
the grand stand. Troop A OF the
First cavalry will be in attendance
and execute cavalry drills in the in
field, while Battery A, First artillery,
will likewise be pressed into service
to afford the audience an Oppor-
tunity to witness the magnificent
artillery drills for which Battery A,
Captain Dally's men. are noted. The
Fourth regiment will be present and
please the spectators with infantry
drills. In fact, it is the purpose ofthe
management to make Friday, here
tofore an uninterestlng day, and a
day without program, the best of
the week. With the troops that
have been engaged, the large congre-
cation of bands, and great gathering
of "Boys in Blue who will be present,
Friday will surely be a red-letter day
long to be remembered.
