Dr. Guthrie of London, the author
of a celebrated treatise on gunshot
wounds, married lady who had
two daughters, one of whom was
Margaret Gordon, Carlyle's "Blu-
mine" MI. Walker saw her in / S3a
when she was married to. a notable
Aberdonian, Sir Alexander Banner
man. He remembers her again in
1851, flair in looks, handsome in
person and accomplished in man
ner," and niece of Lady Banner
man says that she had the sweetest
of tempers.
Lady Bannerman accompanied her
husband to his various governor
ships in the colonies. He died in
1852 from an accident while he was
preparing to return to his native
city. After his death his wife re-
tired to a villa i'll Hampstead, where,
being childless, she lived solitary
life and died there about 1886. She
never alluded to her early relations
with Carlyle, but talked freely of
his character and of his works, es.
pecially the essays on Burns, Goethe,
Scott and other articles in his mis-
cellanies. Eut it is said that she
talked even more of Edward Irving,
who had been her tutor in mathe-
MATES. Lady Bannerman' sister
survived her and is still living at a
very advanced age. -Bookman,

The reporter had stopped in the
office of the laundry to leave an or
der. AS he came III young man
who might have come from New
Jersey or Newfoundland passed out.
He hasn't been in the city long, !"
remarked the clerk, with smile
which was not wholly compliment

"Who is he?" inquired the re-
porter.
Don't know; never saw him be.

How do you know he is new to

He wanted shine on his shirt,
a polish on his linen, as Boston per-
sons call it,
Does newness in town have any
thing to do with it?"
Does it?'' and the clerks tone
indicated how sorry he was for the
reporter ignorance "Well, I should
say it did. When mans been liv-
ing in the city any time, he hasn't
got any use for shiny shirt fronts
and likewise the collars and cuffs
that go with them. Take a yap
from the raw districts, and the first
thing he wants to put on when he
strikes the town is a shirt he can
see himself in the bosom of. Then
he wants his cuffs to glisten to

soaked overnight in an enamel
bath. That's for the first half dozen
washes or so. Then he begins to
think different, depending on the
kind of society he trains with, and
pretty soon he asks for domestic
finish, and it amt long after that
until he begins to think that shiny
shirt front is something positively
dreadful, and if we happen to get
the least bit of a shine on his stuff
he wants to slug somebody. A real

linen. That's where the laundry ran
out the washerwoman, who hadn I
the machinery to shine with, and
she lost her customers. She's com.

shine isn't the thing any more, and
no machine laundering is equal tc

The country laundry is yet doing

one you Just saw go out, is known

Men Who Make the Wheels Go Round
There are, Of course, many men
in business pursuits who devote
themselves to single branches Of
trade, just as there are men who are
devoted to single branches of
science. A reporter who was seek.
ing definite information concerning
a certain article of common use was
told that So-and-so knew all about
it, statement that was confirmed
by another man, who said of So
and-so that he was as much inter-
ested' in his speciality ''as the re-
porter was in types. y
There are plenty Of such men that
the public never hears Of; men that
devote their lives to special lines of
goods, OF it may be to single arti-
cles, who are experts and men Of
authority in their respective bust
nesses and very probably, men of
high salary or considerable income
men OF energy, capacity and con
centration, who succeed in what
they undertake, whose efforts make
the successful business house. New

His Two Books.

A half dozen Washington CORE
spondents We're discussing literary
successes and failures when some
one of them laughed softly in rem
iniscence and mentioned the name
of the late Melville Ford of Michi-
gan, than whom no man ever in con-
gress was more popular with men of
all classes.
II just happened to recall, = he
said in response to several inquiries,
hearing poor Mel Ford tell about
how difficult he found it to write a
book-in fact, to write two books. !"
''We didn't know he ever wrote
any, put in several.
He didn't exactly continued
the speaker, "but he tried to. AS
he said to me on one occasion: BY
Jove, have begun two books and
quit on both. The first one began,
"The 1O:40 train was ten minutes
late, and that was as far as could
ever get with it. Then l tried an
other. It began, My God, ejacu-.
lated Eliza" and | never could get
beyond that point. If l had been
able to have got past that, I might
have become great author.
'"That was his little joke" con-
tinued the correspondent, and per-
haps over yonder where there is
everything the heart may desire
Mel has found a fitting conclusion
for his two novels SO vigorously be-
gun. Detroit Free Press.

AT WASHINGTON.

Secretary Day rendered his resigna.
ton, Tuesday, to take effect Sept. l,
and President Mckinley offered Col.
John Hay, our ambassador to England,
the portfolio of State, which he accepted
and will return to take. The President
has now to fill the important place
which Col. Hay leaves, ranking next to
the head of the department of State.
Assistant Secretary of State John
Bassett Moore will, it is stated leave the
department of his friend, Secretary Day,
to resume his chair at Columbia, and
the President will have to find sue
cessor for him, who will probably be
suggested by Col. Hay.
A general order has been issued
through the adjutant's office, granting
one months furlough to the sick and
wounded soldiers and transportation to
their homes. At the expiration of their
furlough, if fit for for duty, the soldiers
must report to the nearest army post,
camp OF hospital, for the purpose of be-
ing sent to their regiments. Those not
fit for duty are required to report to the
adjutant general of the army, forward
ing their furlongh accompanied by the
certificate of physician stating their
condition and probable time of recovery.
Major General Fitzhugh Lee, in com
mand of the It'll Army Corps at Jackson
Vile. Fla, together with Secretary
Alger, con erred for an hour, Monday,
with the President. Gen. Lees expert
ence as consul general at Havana has
given him an intimate knowledge of
Cuban conditions which will be availed
of by the administration.
The President has appointed the two
commissions to adjust the evacuation of
Cuba and Porto Rico. For uba they
are as follows: Major General Wade,
Rear Admiral VIM. T Sampson, Major
General Matthew &. Butler. For Porto
Rico, Major General, John r. Brooks,
Rear Admiral Winfield S. Schley,
Brigadier General VIM. w. Gordon.
An order will be issued, when ap-
proved by the cabinet, mastering out of
the service about $4,000 of the volunteer
forces.
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1898-08-18

The four battleships aud two armored
cruisers of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet
which rendered snch t ff.ctive service
during the war, off the coast Of Cuba and
took such an active part in the destruc-
ton of Cervera's fleet are expected to ar
rive at New York the latter part of the
week, and 10 response to popular de-
mand will pass in review, Saturday,
through the harbor up the North river
at Riverside Park, where they will
probably fire salute aud then return to
the outer harbor. When the news of the
coming of the vessels were received 4
request was made that the men march
through the city, but this did not meet
the approval of the officials at Washing
ton as they realized how fatigued and
unfit for marching these men would be,
so decided upon the latter course. This
will give an opportunity tor New York
people to see these war-scarred vessels
and the crews which so nobly manned
them.
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1898-08-18

Manila fell Saturday last after bonn
bardment OF about two hours by Dewey's
fleet and an assault upon the works.
Five American soldiers were killed and
forty-five wounded. The bombardment
was of the works and forts not of the
city itself. The Spanish forces number
ed about 1900 effective men well en-
trenched. Nearly 10000 men were en-
gagged in the assault. The surrender
embraced about 1000 troops and 1900
rifles and large quantities of ammunition.
Capt. Gen. August went aboard of a
German cruiser and escaped to Hong
Kong. Admiral Dewey thus had the
honor to participate In the last rs well as
the first decisive battle of the war. 1t
will be observed that the surrender was
after the president issued his proclama-
ton to cease hostilities but without cable
connection Dewey and Merritt did not
receive orders in season 10 avert the
battle.
