petition of troops for Manila are prac-
tically complete. and while every eff

throw In 1872, when the Republicans
put William f. Havemeyer at the head
of the city government ended Mr..
Halls political career. When the frauds
of the Tweed ring were exposed he was
one of the men brought to trial, being
charged with willful neglect of his du-

being failure on account of the death

In 1875 Mr.. Hall appeared on the
stage as an actor and author, playing

his dramatic career was of short dura-
ton. He then devoted himself to news

resented New York papers in different
European capitals. He returned to
New York in 1891 and had since lived
there. Mr.. Hall was brought up in the

were baptized in the Catholic Church
some time ago. He might have COM
manded considerable wealth If he
wished, but he died a poor man.

Unpleasant Imputation.

Among the stories told Of DR.. En-

former day and generation, there are
many which show his keen wit.
In the town where he was pastor there
lived physician who was pantheist,
and took palms to let every one know
1t. He had made frequent boast that
he could easily conquer DIR. Emmons
in argument, and one day came his
chance. He and the doctor met at the
house Of sick man.
How old are you, sir?" asked the
physician, brusQuely.
''Sixty-two," replied DR.. Emmons,
quietly, although his eyes showed his
surprise. May l ask your age in turn?'
"I've been alive since the creation in
one form or another" said the physi-
elan, CURLY.
"Ah, then I suppose you were with
Adam and Eve In the garden of Eden?"
inquired the doctor.
Certainly" came the reply.

That night when the rest of the fam

Springer lay In her bed and dreamed

In her mind the years unrolled before
her like a panorama. She thought of
the day Ezra Springer had asked her TO
be his wife, of her acceptance. 1t was
under the big shay hickory tree down
by the spring LOT, and they had gone
a-nutting together. And then the war
and his return. And then their mar

leaves outside she marveled on the
bird-like flight of time.

Liquid Air Versus Ice.

At last I can see the finish of the
treacherous iceman. A liquid air fac-
tory Is In construction, and presently
we will be able to buy frigidity In pints,
quarts and gallons. 1t will be delivered
IN quantities TO suit at price far be-
low the cost of Ice, and In a condition
that absolutely precludes the possibili-
ty Of waste or short measure. 1t Is
clean and pure. 1t is made without the
use Of chemicals. One gallon Of liquid
air, reduced to its lowest temperature
(470 degrees below zero, is equivalent
for refrigerating purposes to ton Of
