feature of the national gathering, has
been named Camp Jewett The tents

ber fourteen hundred odd. New York,
Philadelphia and ST. Louis have fur
nished them. Here will be the headquar-
ters' of the encampment.
One of the most interesting features Of
the encampment will be what is called
the living shield, composed entirely of
children. five thousand of them. This
shield will be erected over Chippewa
street, running 80 feet from the west line
| of Delaware avenue. The parade takes
place Wednesday, August 25, as stated,
but the parade of ex-union prison ers of
war will take place Tuesday morning
The civic societies parade to be held
during the encampment will assuredly
be a notable feature, and there is any
amount of rivalry among the civic soci-
eties of Buffalo as to which will present
the best appearance both in point of
numbers and in method of marching
There have been no exceptions in the
general invitation issued, and the result
will be an exceedingly odd collection OF
gorgeously uniformed men and men with
no uniforms at all.
The ladies are to be we'll represented,
for what national ercampment of the
Grand Army would be complete without
the Ladies' Relief corps? Besides these
there are the Ladies of the G. A. r.,
which If not exactly a sister organiza-
| ton of the first mentioned, can at least
boast of a cousinly connection. Both
have frankly agreed to disagree and
that pleasantly, SO there is no possible
opportunity for i'll feeling. Mrs. Agnes
Hit and her staff. of the Woman's Keller
corps, and Mrs. Hirst, president OF the
Ladies' G. A. r. and her staff, have all
secured excellent quarters. The latter
will hold their meetings in the Y. M. Z. A.
building, while the former will gather
at the Buffalo Relief corps quarters.
Besides the organizations OF the ladies
named, there will be present the Army
Nurses association, the Daughters of
Veterans, the Ladies Association of the
ex-Prisoners of the War, the woman S

Home workers. A woman of exceeding

gathering is Mrs. Annie Wittenmeyer,
Diet Kitchen movement during the war.
Last but not least on the list Of associa
tions is the Ladies' Association of Naval
Veterans. Most people do not believe
that women have any right to call them
selves so, but the members of this asso-
citation have, and of all the societies kim
dred to the Grand Army, none are worthy
of more consideration.
With her hand on her husbands arm,
with the pleasant smile she has for every
one, the corps of ladies at the encamp-
ment will be headed by the first lady Of
the land, Mrs. William Mckinley. This
will be the first national encampment
from which Mrs. John A. Logan has
been absent but the presence of Mrs.
Mckinley will tend to assauge the sor-
row among the veterans at her non-ap-
pearance. With Mrs. Mckinley will be
Mrs. Garrett A. Hobart, who is to ac-
company the e-president to the en-
campment. These two, with Mrs. Sec
retary Alger and Mrs. Governor Black,
will receive the public a. the reception

hall

be the most notable reception in point
of those who are in attendance which has
taken place at any Grand Army encamp-
ment during the last decade. General
Alger will not be the only ex-grand COM
mander present, for it is hoped that that
old time favorite whom the veterans
know as "Bill" Warner, some others as
Congressman Warner, still others as
Major Warner, and all of them as War
ner, that jolly good fellow, will be pres
ent. Here is one OF the rarest characters
in the Grand Army. A shrewd lawyer,
a patriotic soldier and a keen judge of
human nature, and withal a Republican,
Major Warner carried election after elec-
ton in the Fifth Missouri Congressional
district which is a hotbed of Democ-
racy. 1t was said that he could talk re-
ligion and play poker the best of any man
who ever lived in Missouri, and that Is
saying much. This year the major is
coming all the way from Kansas City,
and no one, not even the president him
self, will receive a warmer welcome, for
none were more popular as commander
in-chief than he.
There will be nothing too good in Buff
falo for Grand Army man for the week
beginning August 22. 1t will indeed be
time Of JOY for every stranger that d
within these gates.

He said he could make more money in the long run his way, and when he hired out to old man Thompson he declared that he'd be manager of the big farm some day, and so he is now, us told you little while ago.
 Maybe I'm getting off the story O little bit, but just wanted to explain how Jim and Sarah stood in this neigh borhood in the old days. Sarah is 8 fne-lookin' woman even now, and when she was girl she was about the best lookin' of the hull lot. No; she wasn't slender and willowy nor anything like that, but she was tall and healthy and red-cheeked and bright-eyed, and she held her head up and looked as though she was glad to be alive all the time. As said before, Jim was good talker only when he was lookin' girl in the face. Then he was about the bashfulest critter you ever seen, and he used to set and say nothing at all, meal times. at old man Thompson's, where his chair stood just across the table from Sarah's. Thompson and his wife, they used to joke Jim good deal about Sarah and so did the other hired men, No; they didn't all feed at Thompson's table, but they all knew how bashful Jim was. There was hull lot of 'em and some of 'em was married men and lived in the tenant houses that are scattered over the place, and them that wasn't married-all but Jim--boarded with the tenants. Jim lived with Thompson because he was kind of a head man. Of course, Jim had to talk with Sarah a good deal, in the natural course of things, for they was together

In August, 1894, absconded with large sum of money" Mrs. Berenson at this point fell to the floor in faint. Berenson was locked up and the Chicago police notified. Der enson said that since leaving Chicago they had roamed the country, haunted by constant fear of arrest. The matter preyed upon his wife's mind. Their funds had dwindled to almost nothing, and she finally induced him to surren- der. It was learned that the amount of the embezzlement was &, ,009.

No; there didn't any of the boys give Jim any sass about it. They didn't want any lambastin' in theirn. It vyas mighty uncomfortable around old man Thompson's for spell after that. Thompson said he'd have fired Jim for treatin' Sarah that way only Jim was too good man to let go.
 It was along in June some time, just about the beginnin' of hayin', that Jim made his second break for Sarah. He'd got it in his head, from the way she looked at him once in awhile, that she kind of liked him after all. Everybody else knew she did, for once, when somc- body made fun of Jim when she was by, for bein' so bashful, she turned round and gave them piece of her mind that they didn't forget right away. tell you.
 We'll, as said, it was in early hayin' that Jim took courage agin. He had got the mornin' chores all tended to around the barn and had gone to the house with pail of milk for the Thomp- sons own private use. and he met Sarah in the kitchen, starting the breakfast. It was not far from sunrise.

He has been the recognized director of the re- publican party organization in New York state for the last 12 or 13 years, and though his title to supremacy has frequently been attacked he has as often demonstrated his ability to hold it against all corners.

 CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Owing to the pol lution of Lake Michigan, Chicago's water supply, the board of education yesterday directed that the supply oi drinking water in the 252 public schools of the city be shut off until further notice. The order was imme. diately put into effect. There is some talk of supplying the schools by arte. sion wells or with spring water. but the lake water, according to the commissioner of health, is swarming with typhoid fever mi. crobes and the shutting off of the con. taminated supply was the only way k prevent an epidemic of sickness. The school children.have been advised each to bring bottle of boiled water tc school.

was Conklin Murdered9 2

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 16.-There is strong suspicion in the minds of his most intimate acquaintances that Thomas c. Conklin, superintendent oi the Pinkerton detective agency, who was found in his office last Sunday afternoon dying from bullet wound, did not die by his own hand, as was at first supposed. A part of this suspicion is based upon investigations made by the Pinkertons, which resulted in find. ing nothing on which to base the theory of suicide,
