GRANTS LOG CABIN oEcAYINo
Structure Removed from st. Louis to
Philadelphia Needs Care.

The old log cabin once owned and oc-
cupied by Gen. Grant, which he had
brought to Philadelphia from st. Louis
90 years ago and which is now in Fair
mount park, is fast decaying. Many of
the logs have been rotted by the ele-
ments and others have been carried
away by relic hunters.
Gen. Grant presented the cabin, with
the original furniture in it, TO his
friend, the late George II. Stuart. 1t is
still the property of the Stuart estate,
and neither the city nor the park com
missioners can do anything with it.
George H. Stuart, Jr., applied four
years ago for permission to remove il
from the park, and permission was
granted, provided the grounds would
be restored to their original condition
Nothing has been done in the matter
since. 1t is possible that the grano
army men will take some action toward
preserving the cabin.

LuBRiCATING A WATCH.


No other piece of Machinery VIII Hun
So Long After q Single OilinG.
Very few of the millions of people
who carry watches realize to what a
powerful extent fabrication is de-
veloped, and what an extraordinary
number of turns the balance wheel
makes with one oiling, says the Phia-
delphin Record \ Chestnut street
matchmaker, whose knowledge of these
wonderful pieces of mechanism is not
exceeded by any man in this city, has
made up an interesting table of com
parison to show the perfection Of iubri-
cation in a watch.
a watch will run on one oiliEg from
a year to year and half. Every min
ute the balance wheel turns on its
axis $50 times, and 27,000 times in an
hour Accepting the year as the time
the ordinary watch will run with one
oiling. he finds that if the driver of q
locomotive was as well oiled as a bal
ance wheel of a watch, it ought to r,ln
60 miles an hour day and night for
64S days, or well on to two years, with
one oiling. In that time it would
traverse distance equal to nearly four
times the circumference of the earth.
In view of the fact that in reality
few locomotives will run one day with
out reoiling, he maintains that the
matchmaker has developed his art to a
far greater degree than the locomotive
builder has yet been able to reach.

AN OIL SLUMP AT CAIRO
Causes Idleness and Some Few Fracases
Among the People.

CAIRO, w. Va, July 31.-Depression
marks the oil business here now and
the town is full of idle men. They are
drinking a good deal and many of them
are quarrelsome. The result is many
fights. On Wednesday night one of
them became enraged because the
clerk at the Commercial hotel turned
on the gas after he had turned it down
and struck the clerk terrific blow.
Later two OF the men boarding at the
Commercial engaged in rough and
tum BILE fight and both of them went
through large plate-glass window,
whether they fell through, or which
OF : came through first no man can
tell, but one of them was badly cut by
the glass. DR.. Bee took seven stitches
in his forehead to close up the wounds
The unfortunate man blel profusely.

REPUBLICANS OF NEWPORT TIP.

WE, the people of Ohio, should Tx in
GUS minds that we are not blessed with
silver mines. Whatever there is in free
silver for us must come around curve
and get into our pockets in some way
not yet ascertained. Mr.. Bryan was
often called upon last year and since
he began speaking his piece as lee
ture instead of a speech to tell as a
simple matter of business how a plain,
common, hard-working man, who did
not own silver mine stock, would be
able to pick up any Of the free silver,
provided the universal coinage was un'
dertaken, but if he ever had any theory
about it he did not tell it, and no silver
man has told. How would the share o
the free silver belonging to Ohio ge
over her borders if the worlds silve
should be heaped at the mints and pur
chased and converted into legal tende
dollars? HaYe Chapman or McLeaI
told how this was to come to pass?

Prof. William Libby, of Princeton

United States Indian reservation of
New Mexico. 1t is expected that the

Prof. Libby, who is geologist and
an Arctic explorer. conceived the idea
of attempting to investigate this dis

itself until William j. Eddy, Of New

aerial transportation. Mr.. Eddy has
built contrivance formed of four huge
kites arranged in square. four feet
apart. These kites can be sent up in
the air to a height of 500 feet. The ap-
paratus was sent by express to the

An order That He Hnd Neglected 90


II had queer experience with a
gripman on Mount Auburn cable car
this morning" said Fifth street cigar
dealer TO Cincinnati Tribune man.
"You know there is a sign in the car
which reads: Don't put your feet on

Probably they were afraid that you
would scratch your shoes on the rough
seats. Anyhow, the signs there

passenger, evidently friend of the
gripman. lie was sitting in the seat
next to the official, and the two enjoyed
a long and animated discussion CON
cerning the system of transfers soon to
go into operation over the new extern
sion of the Oak street line. In n careless
way had placed my foot upon the seat,
or rather my toe was against the edge,
but in no danger of harming the wood
work. The gripman reached over and
in an authoritative tone said:
"'Yous must take yer feet oil the seats.

headquarters, and we must obey them
