LEW WALLACE CHALLENGED
10 Give Proof That His utterances Were
Correct.

indianapolis sun.
Maj. William III. Mills, of Wash
|lngton, ID. c., president of the
Washington society Of the Fifth
army corps and an ardent admirer
Of George B. Mcclellan, has writ
ten letter to Lew Wallace in refer
Ience to the latter's speech at Leba-
mon in which he related that Lin
coin left Washington to take boat
for Harrison landing, and "that
he wanted to go and persuade Nc
|Clellan not to sure nder the army t.
Gen. Lee A copy of the letter
was sent to George Il. Oakes, who
challenged Wallace for his remarks.
The following is a paragraph of the
letter:
"To be serious, it is too late in
the nineteenth century to sland-
Ter the memory of the late Maj
|gen. George Brinton Mcclellan.
You say, Il was near Washing
ton | have faithfully endeavored
to ascertain where you were from
June % until July z, 1892, the day
President Lincoln arrived at Har-
rison's landing The records indi-
cate that you assumed command of
the troops stationed at the city of
Memphis, Tenn June IL, 1862.
The records of the war department
show that you were granted leave
of absence, June "a, 1862, for 20
days, and the leave was extended,
July z, 1862, sy order of the war
|department-nothing more. If you
were at Washington at any time be-
tween the dates mentioned, you
failed to obey general order in not
writing your name and address up
on the register kept for that pur-
pose in the office of the adiutant-
general Of the army. If you were
here between the dates referred to,
or about that time, if you will kind
ly advise me at which of the hotels
you were entertained, | will make
an effort to consult its register.
Your word would be acceptable
ordinarily, but in so serious a mat
ter the friends of Mcclellan desire
visible evidence, and you may be
assured that very many of his
friends, who were your friends, are
your friends no more"

The family moved to Evanston on
account of educational advantages.
She graduated in 1859 from the
Northwestern Female College. For
several years she taught, holding
positions in several colleges, and in
Evanston as dean of the Woman s
College, into which had merged the
Northwestern Female College, made
her president of her Alma Mater.
AS teacher she was an inspiration.
She Travelled in Europe, visiting
points of greatest interest, including
chief centers of Eur ,pean culture
studied in Paris, Berlin and Rome.
While abroad she was frequent
contributor to the New York Inde

Harper's Monthly and leading Chi
cago journals.
In 1884 when the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union was
organized she was chosen for cor
responding secretary. Since then,
With the exception Of the time she
was engaged with ID. l.. Moody, the
evangelist, in Boston, she has de-
voted her time and genius to the
work of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, serving the
national organization as correspond
ing secretary until 1870, when the
National convention was held in
indianapolis. She was then elected
president, position for which she
was remarkably fitted. To Miss
Willard came the thought Of send
ing out w. G. I. Y. missionaries,
and later the organization of the

was elected president Of the Nation

GRAPES AND THE APPENDIX.


/
Has Been Claimed.
Things have been said about the bane-
ful and delicious juice Of the grape ever
since the olden time when Noah found
out about it and came thereby to grief,
but even before that men ate grapes,
and only within the last decade have
they been talked to about that. It is
only since surgeons began to make
money hunting for grape seeds in the
vermiform appendix that people have
been afraid to eat grapes and to eat
them straight.
1t now appears that in all the thou
sands of cases famous, and possibly in
some cases infamous in which this new
fashioned surgical operation has been
performed there is lot one case in
which a grape seed or any other little
bullet shaped thing has been found in
the vermiform appendix. The whole in
terror Of the appendix is only big enough
to admit medium sized darning needle.
Nobody knows what it is there for, but
it must have been useful at some time.
1t is "a case Of the survival Of the unfit,
like the wisdom teeth, which arc of SO
little use to most people, and the ton
sils, which cause SO much trouble now
and then.
The tonsils and the appendix are
both unused parts of the body and Pc
culiarly liable to disease because they
are not strengthened by use II inflam-
nation attacks them, they are unable to
resist Thus many diseases which have
been ascribed to peritonitis or colo or
q mysterious providence Of some kind
have been due to the diseased condition
Of this little useless organ Of the human
system, and if the trouble had been dis
covered in time the appendix could have
been removed, and all would have been
we'll
The remedy, therefore, is not in avoid
ing grape seeds, which do not cause the
trouble, but in keeping as well and as
strong as possible, and in case Of sud-
den illness calling a reliable doctor,
who will know what the matter is.
Somebody once said that most people
use doctor to enable them to sin
against the laws of nature with impu-
nifty. But that is bad use for him.

pelier, March and 4, at which there were
seventy-fve entries of butter, r. #. Jaynes,
superintendent of Ryegate creamery, had
butter that scored 98A points, the highest OF
any, but, owing to the rule OF the Associa-
ton that no officer could receive premium,
Mr.. Jaynes Ia treasurer Of the Association,
the sweepstakes went to butter scoring one
point lower, NB; but Mr.. Jaynes received
$S5, the premium offered by the Vermont
Farm Machine Company, for the best but
ter, provided the cream was separated by
the improved United States separator.
Mrs. Carrie j. Nelson, who carried off the
first premium on dairy butter, also used an
improved United States separator.
In this connection 1t is worthy to remark
that at the Vermont Dairymen's annual
convention at st. Adams, in January last,
the creamery sweepstakes, grand sweep
stakes and gold medal went to K. Il. Symes,
superintendent OF North Ryegate cream
cry, who also used an improved United
States separator. The first premium on
creamery prints went to II. L. Smith, pro-
prietor Of Cloverleaf creamery, Fletcher,
and hrst on dairy tubs to III. I. Clapp, Barre,
both OF whom use the improved United
States separatOrs.
The Vermont Farm Machine Company is to

cess OF the above named separator.
