M'CLELLAN'S WAREHOUSE.
Something About Dan, tho Only Charger
the General Rode.

cobhceb'h6 ~AoouS tFtu hc outN SDdfkeE
the General Rode.
General McClellan's favorite war
horse, usually called Dan, was a dark
bay, about IL hands high, well, bred,
with good action and never showing
signs of fatigue, no matter how long
the course. He was an extremely hand
some, snowy animal, with more than
ordinary h e sense. Dan was a very
fast walker-an important requisite in a
commanders charger-but a disagree
able accomplishment so far as his staff
were concerned, as their horses in gen
eral Were kept on a slow trot.
After the war Dan became the family
horse at General McClellan's country
home in Orange, and seemed to be proud
Of his position, performing his duties
well and easily. On one occasion, when
driven to a neighboring estate by two
ladies Of the generals family, and left
united, s usual, at the door, Dan came
to the conclusion that they had remained
long enough for an afternoon call, SO,
declining to waste any more time there,
he trotted back to his stable, carefully
turning out to pass carriages and other
vehicles met on the way home. Dan
died and was buried in Orange.
The general said Of him: Dan was
n of those horses that could trot all
day long at a very rapid gait. which
kept all other horses at a gallop. He
earned from the aids the title Of that
devil Dana name that he justified ON
many a long aud desperate ride before !
gave up the command of the Army of
the Potomac. Dan was the best horse /
ever had. He was never i'll for an hour,
never fatigued, never disturbed under
fire. The dear old fellow survived the
war for many years, dying at a ripe old
age in 1879. No matter how long we
might be parted-once for nearly four
years-he always recognized me the mo-
ment we met again and in his own way
showed his pleasure at seeing me. Even
on the day Of his death, which was a
painless one, he still attempted to rise
and greet me, but, unable to do so, he
would lean his head against me and lick
my hand. No soldier ever had a more
faithful horse than 1 had in Daniel
Webster. Our Animal Friends.

Salaries Earned by Successful Buyers.

A good buyer who year after year in
creases his business and the reputation
of his department, who leaves for til
semiannual inventory a clean and de-
sirable stocE-one who, in fact, has the
genius Of money making-is paid a sal
airy in the big houses Of from $5, 900 to
$40, 900 and often q percentage on the
yearly increase Of his sales. In some of
the largest departments a number Of the
most capable buyers thus receive as
much as $50, coo q year and are regard
ed as cheap at that, a fact which can BE-
readily understood when it is remem-
bered that in a single department of a
great shop selling, say, 81, 000, 900
worth of goods a year, a difference of 5
per cent in the profits, which may De
the result of a good manager as distiD-
guished from a mediocre one, amounts
to 500, 900. On the other hand, in the
lower class stores buyers in many of the
departments are paid IS low as $25 a
week, with no percentage. If the large
incomes are the great exception, it is
also to be said that the opportunities are
more numerous than the men with the
ability to take advantage of them

INDEPENDENCE.
Only White Ballots Can BE Used nj
TO-day's EIectiOn-A Light Vote
Will Likely BE Cast.

1t was the intention of the city officials
to have white and yellow ballots at TO-
days election, but after looking up the law
in the matter it was found that only white
ballots could be used. The ballots for the
city hall bonds and for the sewerage bonds
Will be cast at the same election and the
same polling places, but placed in separate
boxes.
The polls will be open at o'clock and
close at sundoWn.
The opinion seemed general yesterday
that n light vote would be cast. The lack
of interest in the election has been ap-
parent. and another reason assigned for Il
light vote is the severity of the weather.
So far there has been no concerted move
ment by advocates of either interest to get
out the vote, and for this reason the le-
suit is problematical. A year ago public
meetings were held, committees were ap-
pointed and interest in the sewerage ques-
ton was wrought to a high pitch. This
season not a single meeting of public
nature has been held, business men reluct-
antly discuss the question and the biting
cold weather on top of it all presages the
fact that to-days election in the way of
ballots will be a frost.
