age.
This is General Longstreet's second
matrimonial venture, his first wife hav-
ing died about ten years ago, and all his
children being married the old soldier
was left alone in the world.
Notwithstanding the fact that Long
street has held more lucrative offices
under the government than any other
Confederate leader, he has never been
noted as a money saver, but, on the con-
trary. has usually been in straitened
circumstances. He has held office since
1872 under Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Ar
thlr and Harrison, and by his recent
appointment he is recognized by a sixth
Republican president He has been sue
cessively collector at New Orleans,
United States marshal for the northern
district and postmaster at GAINESVILLE,
Ga. and now he becomes railroad COM
missioner This position was promised
him last fall as a reward for his services
to the Republican party, and General
Lonasrreet cannot complain regarding
recognition. for this billet is one Of the
most desirable in the gift Of Uncle Sam.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
Germantown, Pa, Was Once Called tho
Capital of the Country.

Germantown, Pa, Was Once Called tho
Capital Of the Country.
A pupil in the Boys Grammar school,
on Lafayette street, Germantown, was
asked by his teacher "when the first
congress occupied the Germantown
academy, located Oh West School lane. y
1t was Il puzzle, of course, TO the young
scholar, who was at n loss 10 find any
thing in print verifying such an event.
The facts, however, from which tho
false impression has frequently obtained
are as follows: The government of tho
United States was first inaugurated IN
New York in 1855 but by act of con-
grcss PHILADELPHIA was made the capital
of the nation from 1890 until 1900. IN
1893 the yellow fever became epidemic
in this city, aud it WAS in October Of
that year that the governor of Pennsyl-
vania asked the board Of trustees to &C
commodate the house of assembly, and
Il similar request for quarters came from
congress.
At the November meeting following
the board proffcred to congress tho
choice of the school building, but there
is no minute evidence TO show that con-
gress accepted the generous offer. AT
this time Washington resided i'll German
town, and the town was spoken of as
the government place of the state, and
also of the United States. jefferson,
then secretary Of state, and Randolph,
attorney general, occupied the building,
Some years ago torn down to extend the
site on which the National bank NOW
stands at Main street and School lane.
So, with Washington, Thomas Jeffer-
son and John Randolph residing is Ger
mantown, it is not strange that the con-
clusion should be formed that congress
was in session at the same time. AL
though the Germantown academy never
had the honor Of accommodating con-
gross, few years later, in 179S, when
the yellow fever made its appearance
again in this city, the banks of North
America and Of Pennsylvania did find a
temporary place Ct safety i'll the old

Famous Holders Of Two Offices.

Governor and Mayor Pingree of Mich
igan ought to have told the court that
John Marshall of Virginia, who is said
to have nodded the constitution of the
United States into its present form,
served in the dual capacity of secretary
of state in the cabinet of John Adams
and chief justice Of the supreme court of
the United States from Jan. to March
A, 1901, and he ought to have known if
there was anything wrong about it.
Furthermore, John Jay. who was the
first chief justice of the supreme court
of the United States, not only held that
office and the position of secretary of for
eign affairs simultaneously for six
months OR more, but served as envoy ex-
traordinary to the court of st. James for
~ year while he wore the robes Of chief
Justice. Oliver Ellsworth was chief JUS
tice of the United States and minister to
France at the same time. and ne was
considered a correct man in his day.

If you know anybody who has pair
of old fashioned lace lappcts, says a
fashion writer, you may recommend
her to utilize these i'll the following
fashion: On the next evening or dinner
gown the lappe;s may begin almost
touching each other at the waist, and,
gradually parting, form trimming
down the fsont Of the skirt, ending i'll
immense quadruplc bows of satin rib
bon, which must be stabbed through
with diamond buttons OF clasps, or, an
other way, as the cookery books say,
line the lappcts with velvet or satin OF
some bright color and turn them into
bretelles, crossing the shoulders and
meeting Just above the waist back and
front. Should any one wish to insult
and vulgarizc her beautiful old lace
with touch Of modernity she eau buy
rhinestones or imitation emeralds, sap
phires or rubies and sew them all overit.

GRAPES AND THE APPENDIX.
Tho Little Seeds Arc Not So dangerous RS
IIns Hccn Claimed.

Things have been said about the bano-
full and delicious juice of tho grape ever
since the oldcn time when Noah found
out about it and came thereby to grief,
but even before that mon ate grapes,
and only within the last decade have
they been talked to about that. 1t is
only since surgeons began to mako
money hunting for grape seeds Ill tho
vermiform appendix that people have
been afraid to cat grapes and to cat
them straight.
1t now appears that i'll all tho thou
sands of cases famous, and possibly i'll
some cases infamous, i'll which this ncw
fashioned surgical operation has been
performed there is not ono case III
which a grape seed on amy other little
bullet shaped thing has been found in
the vermiform appendix. The whole Ill
terror of theappcndix is only big enough
to admit a medium sized darling needle.
Nobody knows what it is there for, but
it must have been useful ut some time.
1t is a case of tho survival OF the unit,
like the wisdom teeth, which are OF so
little use to most people, and tho ton
sils, which cause so much trouble now
and then.
Tho tonsils and the appendix arc
both unused parts Of the body and pc
culiarly liable to disease because they
are not strengthened by use. If inflam-
nation attacks them, they are unable to
resist. Thus many diseases which have
been ascribed to peritonitis or colo or
Il mysterious providence of some kind
have been due to the diseased condition
of this little useless organ of the human
system, and if the trouble had been dis
covered in time the appendix could have
been removed, and all would have been
well.
Tho remedy, therefore, isnot i'll avoid
ing grape seeds, which do not cause tho
trouble, but i'll keeping us we'll and as
strong as possible, and i'll case of sud
den illness calling reliable doctor,
who will know what the matter is.
Somebody once said that most people
use a doctor TO enable them to sin
against the laws Of nature with impu-
nifty. But that is bad use for him.

A Trick That Failed.

The dishonest nan is pretty sure to
overreach himself sooner or later, as i'll
tho following story, borrowed from an
exchanges:
In hotel in Berlin there was a night
Waterman who did not take kindly to
the system adopted few years ago re-
curing him to go through the hotel at
certain hours and touch a set of electric
buttons.
After much thought he rugged up an
automatic arrangement on several of the
buttons so that they would report at
certain hours Soon the button system
got so out Of order that the management
abolished it, and Il pedometcr was given
60 the watch2iun, which would register
every step he took.
All went we'll the first two nights,
but on the third mcrl:ia; the old man
was missing. On search being made, he
was found soand asleep i'll the engine

Mckinley Helps Along Love Affair.

The president has good deal of senti-
ment in his composition. He has shown
great interest in the lovo affairs of q
Young man from Ohio and has taken
role in romance which does credit both
to his heart and head.
The young man referred to may be
called Jones for purposes of identifica-
ton, and nc may be located at Cincin-
natl, although he has a different name
and lives in another place. Shortly be-
fore inauguration Jones called upon the
president at Canton to pay his respects,
and TO his embarrassment Major Nc
Kinley inquired how he was getting on
with his love affair. Jones lodged the
question, but the major pinned him
down and finally extracted from his re-
luctant lips confession that he had not
vet persuaded the young lady in the
case to accept his heart and hand, al
though he hoped to be able to do so.
Jones explained that his prospects were
not very alluring, and that love in a
cottage had no attractions for the young
lady he desired fol his wife.
'Do you think she would like to live
abroad little while:" asked the presi-
dent.
81 wouldn't wonder" said Jones,
although I have never discussed that
subject with her. I imagine she is like
most yoang ladies, and that she would
enjoy seeing foreign lands. y
well, said the president "if you
think it will do any good, tell her that
1 will give you consular appointment
as q wedding present. Pick out eight or
ten places in Europe that you think
would suit her, and when take up
consular matters will nominate you for
one Of them.
Jones thanked tie president warmly
and has since notified him that he would
be married early in June.-Chicago
