fall one Of these days. If he can induce
the president to come down and be in
troduced to his, Porter's, friends and
others, 1t will be quite feather in his

portunity of giving his friend and
helper a political lift and also of hav-
ing good time.

WASHINGTON, July S-(Special
Correspondence to The Herald.) Like
Lucullus, President Mckinley is about
to retire to his farm. He is goir.g across
the Potomac over into the classical pre-
cincts of "Ole Virginny." The place
which the president has rented is known
as Cherry farm, and it is situated just
where it should have all the breeze
there is. Mckinley is a modest man
and thoroughly unassuming. He loves
quiet and geniality, but is not, like Cleve-
land, of the old English sporting squire
type.
The question of the presidential outing
is always momentous one in Washing
ton, because it means good deal Ever
so many persons are interested in the
question of location who would not be
thought of ordinarily. For instance, it
means much to the real estate owners
in the vicinity of the place where the
pre- sident chooses to have is SUNNI er
home.
One need only look at the history of
Washington real estate to see what
effect, the purchase of Woodley by ex-
President Cleveland had upon the sur
rounding territory. 1t doomed at onces,
and the fortunate real estate men who
were in on the ground floor made pot
of money. The situation is likely to be
the same in the neighborhood of Cherry
farm.
Mckinney was long time making UP
his mind as to what he would do. Rumor
had him going down to New Jersey; he
was going to be the guest Of Secretary
Porter in Connecticut; he was sure to be

Mrs. O'Bricn Dead.

Mrs. M. O'Brien, well known IN
Ely where she has resided for several
years, was buried from the Catholic
church in this city Sunday, a large
concourse of friends following the
remains to their last resting place.
Mrs. O'Brien had been ailing for
several months having been struck
with paralyses early in the spring.
Friday afternoon she grew gradually
worse and received another stroke
from which she breathed her last at
3 p. M.
Mrs. O'Brein was born in Canada In
the year 1882, and was at the time of
her death 65 years of age. She leaves
seven grown up children to mourn the
loss of a fond mother: Mrs. nj. Lally
of Republic Mich, p. O'Brein of
Mine Center Cam, Mrs. Thos. Jary of
this city, Mrs. T. 1T. Driscoll, of
Eveleth, Miss Julia O'Brien, of New
York, and Miss Maggie and Jerrie of
this city. Mrs. Lally and Mr.. and
Mrs. Driscoll were present at the
funeral.

Three Gimme yFires.

The fire Department was kept
pretty well on the jump Monday,
three alarms being turned in on that
day. The department responded
promptly in each case but their services
were not needed as the three fires
were nothing more than chimneys
burning out, The 'screecher' at
II O'Clock routed out the department
and the people for chimney fire in
the Bateman building at the upper
end 2of Chapman street. At
o'clock, an alarm was turned in, the
chimney on the Stoll building being
afire. AT about 8 O'Clock the chimney
on the Exchange Hotel was blazing
and the whistle again called out the
department. No damage was done in
either case.

THERE will be more men in army
bands and more pay for them, if
Secretary Alger can persuade
Congress to adopt some of the
recommendations contained in his
annual report, and army bands will
not be allowed to play for pay for
private parties. Forty years ago
the law authorizing the formation
of army bands and regulating the
pay of the musicians was enacted.
According to that law the music
ians are only private soldiers,
detained for band service, and they
only received privates pay, about
SIS a month. Secretary Alger
wants them enlisted as musicians
and their pay increased. All of
the labor organizations will
probably favor these recommend
atoms, as many of them have
repeatedly sent protests to Wash
ington against government bands
being allowed to compete with
private bands.

In the 9th Illinois district a

progress to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Congressman
Cooke. The sentiment for postal
savings banks is so strong in Chic
ago that both party platforms
pledge the candidates to work for
them if elected. Inarecent speech
Henry S. Boutell, the republican
candidate, said:
''The people demand that con-
gress at its next session shall
provide for the establishment of
postal savings banks under the
control of the postofice depart
ment, and o measure looking to
this end would have my hearty
support. Postal savings banks
have given satisfaction to the peo-
pile wherever they have been tried.
Their existence in all parts of the
country is constant invitation to
thrift and economy, and wherever
thriftand economy prevail poverty,
ignorance and crime disappear.

New System of microscopy.

Prof. Elmer Gates, of Washington, is
conducting experiments at his labora-
tory at Chevy Chase, which, it is be-
lieyed, will work revolution in many
branches of modern science He states
that he has invented new method of
magnification which will be as great an
advance beyond the power of the pres
emit microscope as that is beyond the
power of the human eye. His instru-
ment increases the present magnifying
powers of the microscope at least 800
times. He combines two microscopes in
such way that the magnified image
projected by the first, which is of the
ordinary size. is again subject to Sec
ond magnification, just as If it were the
original object. The second micro
scope is about as large as an Office desk.
The operation takes place in a dark
room. the light used being of the ultra
violet, or invisible, rays. Prof. Gates
believes that his discovery will entirely
change the known fields of science, es-
pecially bacteriology and the study of
cellular tissues.

it can be carried away by a stream of

housed in a special building near the

and it forces a steady stream of water

innumerable small jets play upon the

ART IN ARCHITECTURE.
DESIGNED WRITTEN ESPECIALLY


To construct a house suited to the
mind of every housewife would be an
impossibility, as the tastes and ideas of
convenience and propriety in interior
arrangement and appearance, differ
quite as widely as the necessities of
the household or the limits of the build
er's purse. Hence a great variety of
plans are eagerly scanned by pros
pective builders to find the design best
adapted to the individual purposes and
tastes. AS much convenience of ar
rangement and accessibility is general
ly desired in cheap cottages as in those
of more pretensions. In order to Sc
cure these something must be sacri-
feed, generally something in the size
and in the quality of materials used.

Him Her Wheel, and Walks Back.
Still another bicyclist story, and this
one has a real heroine, the kind of a
heroine who, if the story was re-
nance, would convert a father and
brother and two or three sneering men
cousins to the belief that the bicycle is
essentially womanly belonging. This
not being romance, there were no fa-
theirs, brothers, and young men cousins
to be converted, but the heroine was a
heroine just the same.
It was in Brooklyn and three young
women and three young men, friends
since lang syne, went for long cycle
ride and took their 1uncheons with
them. Luncheon time had come and all
the viands were spread out in tempting
array when one of the young men who
had complained of feeling unwell
earlier in the day, tainted and gave evil
dence of being very i'll.
This was the time for the heroine to
show the qualities which are most adj

quick wit. She remembered imme-

or so of the picnic ground, one whom
she knew well, and who also knew the
