Important to Mothers,

The manufacturers of Castoria nave been
compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of
dollars to familiarize the public with the sig
nature of Chas II. Fletcher. This has been
necessitated by reason of pirates counterfeit
ing the Castoria trade mark This counter
feiting is crime not only against the proprie-
tors of CaStoria but against the growing
generation All persons should be careful to
see that Castoria bears the sigma ture of Chas.
H Fletcher, if they would guard the health of
their children Parents and mothers, in par
ticular, ought to carefully examine the
Castoria advertisements which have been APP
pearing in this paper and to remember that
the wrapper of every bottle of genuine CaStoria
bears the fac-simile signature of Chas. H.
Fletcher. under whose supervision it has been
manufactured continuously for over thirty
years

Frederick Dent Grant.
THE SON OF HIS FATHER AT THE FRONT.

political parties of New York. and in
1887 he was nominated for the Office
of secretary of state. Owing to the
political complications of that year,
Colonel Grant failed of an election.
However, in 1888, the following year,
he was appointed by President Har-
rison minister of the United States
to Austria, where his success in Sc
curing the admission Of American
products and in protecting American
citizens from military duty won for
him the highest commentator, and,
on Mr.. Cleveland's election, Colonel
Grant was informed that, unless he
insisted, his resignation would not be
accepted, and that it was optional
with him to remain abroad as our
representative at the imperial court
of Austria He insisted, however,
upon resigning, and returned to
America in 1898, since which time he
has made his home in New York, and
under the reform administration of
Mayor Strong was one of the police
commissioners of the city.
Our picture represents Colonel
Grant seated in front of his tent at
Camp Black. Both in face and figure
he bears a striking resemblance to his
illustrious father. He is a soldier by
birth and education, and he has al
ready demonstrated, in the care and
disposition of his men, in camp and
on the march, the advantages of the
knowledge and training which our
great military academy confers upon
men whose duty it is to command.
Already he has won the confidence of
his regiment. The Fourteenth reach

acked on the western slope of Lyle

with his regiment. A few used KNAPP
sack tents to shelter themselves, but
he, rolled up in his blanket, lay down
beneath the stars. He took his break
fast in the morning on the trunk OF
a fallen tree, his meal consisting of
the fried bacon, bareback and black
coffee supplied to his men. It is this
willingness to share the hardships of
war which distinguished our great
leaders, both in the revolution and the
later war of secession, that has estab-
lished the relations Of confidence and
sympathy of rank and file which have
made our armies invincible.

yesterday afternoon at o'clock to walk
up Broadway for exercise on their way

there was a blockade of trucks, and
for while there was no opening
through which they, or anybody else for
that matter. could cross the street.
one of the trucks had load of hay
and straw i'm tightly bound bales. The
horses OF the truck Immediately be-
hind it became very much interested i'm

pulled back his team "A few feet. maxi

The fact was that every man plucked
a bit OF hay or straw out of one OF the
bales as he went along, put it between
his teeth, and logged ahead, chewing
it. The blockade lasted two or three
minutes and the two business men
stood near the curb and watching the
thrOng of passersby. Not a man failed
to make pluck at the bales. Yes, one
did--but he evidently had not seen what
was on the truck until he had got a
foot away from IL when, noticing his
friend come to halt and seize straw.
he deliberately retraced his step and
got one for himself!
The two close observers near the
curb laughed heartily, the one who had
