An Historic Character.

Robert Smalls, who has just been APP
pointed collector of customs at Beaufort,
S. c., is man who may be relied upon to
take care of himself in Office. AS a slave
he took possession of a confederate vessel
on which he was employed, and ran her
over the bar of the harbor of Charleston
into the loyal lines. He was hero from
that time until the war was ended. Then
he went into politics with will. He was
amply smart enough to look out for his
own interest there. When James Free
man Clarke, on visit to South Carolina,
demonstrated with Mr. Smalls on some
questionable doings, sit is only spelling
the Philistines, was Smalls' reply. "They
have been robbing us for centuries of
everything in taking from us our liberties.
Now it is our turn" Smalls, who went
to Congress later, never concealed that he
intended to make what he could out of his
Office. He is big burly person, and a
hard man for anybody to get the better of
in any way, being typical politician of
carpet bag times. Boston Herald.
Smalls is short and stout and black as
the ace Of spades, but his heart is in the
right place, and while in Washington he
did good turn for daughter of his old
mistress. She was about to lose her po-
legged disloyal talk, but Congressman
Smalls had influence enough to secure her
retention. The writer had the incident
from Smalls himself, but he did not make
a parade of what he had done, regarding
it as a matter of course.

Mt. Waldo Railway.

Well Equipped Incline Road at the Fa-
NOUS Frankfort Granite ouarries.
). \. CoOney, engineer for John A. Roe
bling's Sons Co., the big bridge builders
of New York, has Just finished the con
stluction of an inclined cable railroad from
the Mt Waldo granite Quarries TO the
wharf at Frankfort. The Roebling Co.
has built some of the most famous bridges
and railroads IN the world, among these
being the Brooklyn and Niagara bridges,
and their work can be seen in nearly every
country.
MI. Cooney is one of the most promi-
nent railroad engineers in the United
States and has the honor of having built
the first incline railroad with curves in the
line That road is in Canada and was
built in 1890, and has but one curve. The
Mt. Waldo road has eight curves and Mr..
Cooney is naturally very proud of the sue
cess OF the road as many engineers said at
the beginning, that it would be impossi-
bic to operate a line having that number
of twists.
1t has already been said the Mt. Waldo
road runs from the qualries to the wharf
from where the granite is shipped 1t is
one and one quarter of a mile in length,
and is narrow gauge. the track being three
feet wide. The winding engine is at the
top of the line and operates the cable
drum. The drum is large enough to roll
10, 600 feet Of cable but only >, 800 feet are
used on the road at present.
The cars have double trucks and closely
resemble the ordinary flat car They
measure l5x6 feet and have a capacity of
20 tons. The weight of the cars them
selves is four tons each. On the Mt. Wal
do road, Il train consists of only one ear

Is 100 Feet Long and viii Float over the
Havana MORO.
The stars and stripes in the shape of
the largest flag in the world will float
over MORO Castle, Havana, when Blanco
surrenders. The immense flag designed
for this duty is already prepared, and may
be seen draped at the front of an empty
store room at l57 Fulton street, New York.
A patriotic Wall street man has had the
great flag made. 1t is 120 feet in length
and IS l-3 feet in width, and it is believed
that it breaks the record for size. 1t is so
big that special bunting was made for it in
Boston. The bunting measured ~ inches
across in the rough. Made up in the flag,
allowing for seams, each stripe measures
40 inches. 1t took full piece of 40 yards
for each stripe, except where they run
into the jack. The jack measures 40 feet
in length and covers the space of seven
stripes. The stars are not very large.
From point to point each star measures
IA inches. They are arranged in alterna-
ting rows of seven and eight, according to
army regulations. The flag cost 500.
Big as it is it can be packed in a large
travelling trunk, and will not weigh more
than 200 or $50 pounds.

Nearly sixty-three years old, his has been
an eventful life.
Because Of ambitious labor and arduous
exposure as an officer in the late war, and
later as a U. S. mail Carrier, he became a
sufferer from wrecked digestion, loss Of
memory and keenest Of rheumatic pains.
His disease was stubborn.
1t resisted ski1lful doctoring; various re-
commended remedies; also treatment at
medical institute in Boston.
his is changed now, and to-day Capt.
Grant is a living testimonial to the potency
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He is positive in his belief that DR.. VII
Iams' Pink Pills for Pale People relieve
suffering and Danish disease.
About three years ago. said he, 81

Protractsd in duration and more frequent
as the weeks went by.
With these attacks came incessant vom-

The olive Pecker rlurderer.

A new turn has been given the case of
John Anderson of Boston, the swedish
cook of the schooner Olive Pecker, now
in jail at Norfolk, Va, awaiting resen-
fencing for the murder of Mate Saunders
of that vessel. His attorney has learned
that local liquor dealer supplied to
Horace Mcfarland, one of the Jurors,
considerable whiskey while the trial was
in progress, and also that another juror
went on spree as soon as the trial ended.
With these facts, Attorney Mcintosh will
claim that some of the jury We're incom-
petent, and that Anderson did not have
the proper show for his life, and he will
once more 90 before the supreme court.
1t is expected that his client will get a
new trial.
