THE PRESIDENTS COUSIN.

| John Campbelrs Remarkable Facial Ne
sembianoe and visit to Mr.. Mckinley.
A little old man who recently sat In
one corner of the lobby of Washington
hotel and unconcernedly pulled large
rings of tobacco smoke into the air above
him attracted attention by his remark
able facial resemblance to President
Mckinley.
John Campbell lives in Warren, o.,
where he is the proprietor of the Camp
hell House.
"Uncle John" is ON visit to Wash
ington now, and he will be here week
or more. OF course he has been over to
the White House to see Cousin William,
and he has received standing invita-
tion to call often.
Eyes. siree," said he to reporter
the other evening, William and are
double cousins My father and Will

and my mother and his father were own
cousins Oh, yes, do bear resem-
blance TO the president, or, to be cor
rect, he bears resemblance to me, for

williams mother said to his wife
the last time visited them in Canton
before she died that the major looked
more like me than any other relative he
had And the majors wife assented to
this, too, added "Uncle John, with
a merry twinkle of his eye

Der as we'll as can be when the major

AN EXPENSIVE HONOR.
n Costs . Fortune TO BE Lord Mayor of
London.

II
The expenditures for subscriptions and
entertainment are largely In excess of the
salary and official allowances Of the lord
mayor of London, writes the London COR
respondent OF the New York Tribune. II
costs every lord mayor anywhere from
$40, 900 $50, 000) 70 R20, 900 (t100, 000) TO
occupy the office. Sir George Faudel-
Philips probably spent from f25, 900
(sl25, 000) to $50, 600 (sl50, 000) In excess
of his salary and allowances. The Office is
always costly one Whoever accepts it
expects TO pay heavily for the honor. No
lord mayor ever energies from Office with
out being out at least 100000 1850, 000)
poorer for the experience, but the honor Of
knighthood is invariably bestowed upon
him, and his wife enjoys the distinction of
being addressed as Lady So-and-so. No
alderman who has passed the chair ever
returns TO IT, Reelection TO the Office
never occurs. No alderman is willing to
pay the tolls twice. He might be If he
could get peerage for second term.
The election of the lord mayor is bur-
lesQue performance, with touches of me-
dimval mummery like the November pro-
cession, with its tinsel splendors and gro
tesque pageantry. Half a dozen ex-sheriffs
have an informal conference and one of
them agrees 10 take the office and TO pay
the costs for a year. The common crier,
the recorder, the common sergeant, the
mace bearers, the sword bearers and the
chaplains appear for dress parade, and a
small knot of liverymen gives assent. The
lord mayor is elected by representatives of
the liveried guilds, and he exercises juris-
diction over a square mile of territory with
resident population of $4,000. The
greater London, with its 700 square miles
and 1000, 600 residents-a world within
itself-has no executive head and no CEN
tralized system of government 1t is the
center of worldwide empire, yet it is an |
anomalous tumble of 'disjected provinces"
without unity of action or enlightened and |
municipal policies. The mod |
ern art of municipal government can offer |
no more startling contrast than that be- |
tween the choice of the lord mayor of Lon
don by half dozen rich gentlemen who |
have been sheriff and the popular election |
Of municipal dictator for Greater New
York.

SHOOTING AT HUNTERS.
Curious Theory of the Condition of HON
icides In the Woods.

Curious Theory of the Condition of Hon.
icides In the Woods.
The Maine hunters who have shot at
men under the impression that they
were deer have proved excellent marks
men this year. Though none of the hu-
man targets was nearer than 200 yards
and some fully 900 yards away, of the
IL shot at Ia have either fallen dead or
died within few minutes, and of the
wounded two will be cripples for life
A great many strange deductions have
been drawn from these facts, the most
interesting of which is the belief that
the men who did the shooting knew at
the time that they were firing at a man
and couldn't help it, Nearly every
homicide was novice in deer hunting.
He was making his first trip after big
game and was nerved up to high men,
tai tension III expectation of seeing
game. After hunting for few hours
under such strain he lost control of
his muscles and became an automaton
and shot at the first object that came in
sight. If deer CHANGED to come along
at that time, the deer fell and the hunt
er was applauded for his good marks
manship, and if he killed man under
the impression that he was shooting at
a deer he received lot of sympathy for
his misfortune and was asked how he
happened to make such fine shot.
More than half of the homicides have
said that they felt they were shooting
at man the moment they pulled the
trigger, though they had been sure it
was deer an instant before. The reali.
cation of the facts came to them when
1t was too late.-New York Sun.

cations which came from France and

growing belief that the Fashoda dis
pute will be arranged.

Immediate recall of Major Marchand.

THE OCCUPATION OF CUBA
Many of tho spanich soldiers wish to
Remain.

Remain.
Washington. ID. :, Oct. 24.-It Is be-
lieved at the war department that 1t
may yet be possible for our troops to
take possession of Havana on Deceni-
ber 1, the date originally set for tho
occupation of Cuba
A dispatch was received by Secretary
Alger yesterday from General Wade
stating that Governor General Blanco
had issued a decree Offering to dis
charge from the Spanish army all SOL
1iers who wished 10 remain In Cuba.
The Spanish commissioners estimate
that at least fifteen thousand men will
take advantage of this opportunity to
stay in Cuba.
The American commissioners think
that the number who will act on
Blanco's decree will be considerably
larger than this.
The evacuation of Havana will In all
probability be FASTENED somewhat by
the operation of this decree.
One of the main reasons why 1t has
been thought doubtful whether or nor
the United States could AXE possess
sion of Havana on December 1 was tho
long time that would be required in
removing the Spanish troops. BY per-
mitting some of them to remain in Gu
ba the task of removing those who
want to return to Spain will be much
simplified.
