his appearance after the other riders are

does not this inspection result in the girls

Due to APATHY"

There was large decline in the re.
publican vote of each state, (Maine
and Vermont as compared with two
years ago, whereas the opposition
vote shows very small falling off
from that of 1896. The explanation
is to be found in the apathy of repub-
lican voters. The party could afford
this in those two overwhelming re-
publican states, but similar changes
in the vote of the two parties through
out the country would almost certain
~ mean republican disaster In Novem-
Der. Those who have made careful
calculation assert that not less than
fifty districts would be lost to the re-
publicans if the same ratios of loss for
both parties which have been record
ed in Maine should prevail every
where. while if the changes were like
those shown in Vermont the opposi-
ton would gain more than eighty
seats.-Omaha Bee.
Thus We are informed by the repub.
lican organ that the marked decrease
in the republican vote in Maine and
Vermont was due to "the apathy of
republican voters" But there must
be some reason for their APATHY"
Perhaps hint as to the reason may
be found in the appointment of a
horse doctor to look after the medi.
cal interests of $4,000 American sol.
diers.- World II erald.

A small boy, black and happy, whose

Manhattan club, New York. The lad
is Cuban and was brought to New
York from Santiago by Mr.. Wilson

cry. Both his parents are dead. Mr..
Wilson paid over to the lads uncle
ten dollars in American money, signed
a queer Cuban document, and the boy
was his.
Mr.. Wilson will send the little fell
low to school, and his original name,
verrames y Pellro, will probably be
changed to Fourth of Wilson or some
thing equally patriotic, for it was on
the nations birthday that Mr.. Wilson
presented the Manhattan club flag to
Col. Downes at siboney. The boy will
be the Manhattan clubs mascot.

PATRIOTISM AT WEDDINGS.
Now Is the Time When Invited Guests
Can Show Their Love OF Country
in Their Gifts.

With the advent of the Spanish war
patriotic weddings came into vogue.
Likewise patriotic presents were also
considered stylish. No bride is
thoroughly in the fashion these days,
says the Chicago Chronicle, unless
large proportion of the gifts that come
to her have reference in their design
and colors to the war and the United
States. Favorite wedding presents OF
this sort are flag picture frames, which
may be found in great variety. These
have flags painted on background of
white enamel, or the frames them
selves are made of flags of silk draped
on foundation of wood and covered
with glass. Wedding gift novelties
such as these are intending. and they
are the rage of the hour to send to a
coming bride. There has been already
at least one patriotic wedding of i'm.
portance. At this the star gift was
pin that was said to have cost $780, 1t
had three stones-a ruby, turquoise
and diamonds close to design of
red, white and blue as can be produced
in jewels. When made this ring was
unique, but the design has since been
widely copied. Another present that
came to this bride of the patriotic we'd
ding was dinner set of white china,
each piece of which was adorned with
hand-painted American flags. Yet an
other set of gifts were lamps of red,
white and blue, with shades of the same

several occasions when very hoarse
from public speaking and when suffer-
ing from sore throat. Our postmaster,
Mr.. Nicholson, had la grippe and it
left him with very bad cough, and
spells of coughing every morning for
an hour or more. met him on the
street three weeks ago and recon-
mended White Wine of Tar Syrup,
which he commenced taking and
to-day he is a we'll man. A little girl
here had coughed all winter and no
cure could be found. 1 asked her
mother to get White Wine of Tar.
She did so and in two weeks the child
was cured. AS you say, it is the best
cough remedy on earth. Please send
me six bottles by express.

ing the administration for appointing
to the responsible position of secre-
tary of the war department such q
man as Russell A. Alger. The follow
ing, from the New York Sun, gives
his past history, and it is sufficient to
convince any one that be is not made
of the stuff which proves great men
and heroes. If it had not been for the
millions he controlled, it is not likely
that he would have ever filled the
position in which he has shown such
weakness and incompetency. The
Sun says:
SIN September 1864, Colonel Alger
and his regiment were in the Shenan-
doah valley, taking partin Sheridan's
great campaign against Jubal Early.
About the first of the month Colonel
Alger applied for ten days leave of
absence. The application was disap-
proved and returned by his division
commander, General Wesley Merritt,
because Of the active operations then
in progress. Upon the return of the
application for leave disapproved,
Colonel Alger left his regiment and
went to Washington without leave.
There he procured detail on court
martial duty In that city. This fact
was reported to General Merritt, who
reported it in turn to General Sheri-
dan, who brought the matter to the
attention of the war department, rec
ommending that Colonel Alger be
dishonorably discharged for being alb
sent without leave. In consequence
of that recommendation from Philip
Sheridan, Colonel Russell A. Alger
was discharged from the service on
September 20, 1864. This incident
terminated his military career. After
the war was over he procured in some
way the brevet of brigadier general
and major general of volunteers"
