Postal Card Coll lection.

In England and on the Continent COLI
lections of souvenir postal cards are
the popular fad. Cancelled cards only
are wanted, and it, has been a difficult
matter for many collectors who have
correspondents all over the world to
have the desired postal cards sent to
them from the places they represent.
A clever Hamburg dealer has taken adj
vantage Of the situation. and has made
arrangements to have the cards mailed
to any address from a list of almost
100 cities scattered throughout the five
continents. He performs this service
for small fee in addition to the
amount Of postage involved, and, it is
said. Is doing large business in the
new departure.

HAVANA, Dec. 9.-Major General
Wade, president of the United States
evacuation commission, has received
certain instructions from President
Mckinley which seem to indicate that
he viii be appointed military governor
81 western Cuba. General Wade's
three months Of official residence here
has given him firm grasp on the
situation. General Greene will be
governor of the city of Havana. He
has already virtually taken hold. as
he is having some Of the streets cleaned
and is deylsing measures for the sani-
tation and policing of the city. Senior
Fernando de Castro, the Spanish civil
governor. and the alcade Of Havana
are accepting his suggestions and aid
ing him in the work. The prepare
ton for a change of flags is thus
being brought about by degrees. and
the transition will not be abrupt.
Already the evacuation Of the province
of Havana is complete except for the
troops stationed in the city. OF these
there are $4,000. and they probably
win retire to Cienfuegos before
Christmas.

IL Hung Chang's. Portrait.

1t is rather amusing to remember
that the most successful portrait of Lii
Hung Chang Is the work Of an English
lady, Miss Mortlock, who has had the
honor of painting almost every am
bassador accredited to the court of St..
James. The Chinese envoy was very
much flattered at being asked to sit to
an English lady, and he proved very
pleasant and cultivated sitter, although
he overwhelmed the fair artist with
questions, as, indeed, he did everyone,
including the only lady journalist who
had the courage to interviw him. What
puzzled Ii most was the large number
Of single women in England, and the
first question he put to every lady to
whom he was presented invariably
concerned her matrimonial Intentions.
Ii Hung Changes wife was, in her day,
very noted Chinese belle, and possess
ed over 1000 gowns, many of them Of
Partisan manufacture. ..-.t -

They Are Reliable.

The American Farmer is sincere In
what it says and whenever it endorses
an article, be it machinery, proprietary
medicine, or a man individually, we
want our readers to believe that what
we say we have good reason to under
stand is true. For a year or more
there have been endorsements OF the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company. OF
167 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this
paper. People have written as to
know If this company Is responsible,
and If it's remarkable remedies, for the
cure Of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep-
sia, catarrh, kidney troubles, etc, real
~ had merit. We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate, and once
again we add emphasis to our former
endorsement Of that company. There
may be isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect in fol-
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason, the won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But it is case where the
exception proves the rule. Mr.. Swan
son is a gentleman OF character and
personal integrity, and, we believe.
would no more attempt to deceive the
public than the writer Of this article.

FRANK UPDEGRAFF GOES UP.
Made General baggage Agent
of Union Depot.

Frank A. Updegraff. chief clerk of the
Alton passenger department here. has been
appointed general baggage agent of the
Union Depot Company. The directors of
the depot company. at their meeting Tues
day, authorized the superintendent to make
the appointment. Mr.. Updegraff was for
some time secretary to the superintendent
when he was division superintendent of the
Alton at Slater. Mo. He entered the rail-
road service as a messenger for the old
Whitewater road. now a part of the Big
Four system, at Connorsville, Ind. in 1885.
In 1856 he was made relief agent on the
Memphis road and worked at different sta
tions in that capacity until in 1891 when he
accepted service as ticket and baggage agent
of the Alton at the Grand Avenue depot at
Kansas City. Later he became secretary
and chief clerk of that road at Slater, re-
tring from that position to accept that of
assistant ticket agent of the Alton at the
Union avenue office of the company here.
From this he was promoted to the position
of chief clerk to General Agent Alex Hilton,
of the Alton. Mr.. Hilton said yesterday
he had not decided upon the successor to
MIR. Updegram in his office. The Alton fol-
lows closely civil service rules in all ap-
pointments and some of the clerks now in
the office will doubtless be promoted.
