We have had In our town, this week, a
body of men who represent one of the
Maine regiments in the war of lS6l-5,
the Second Cavalry. The number here
was not large, but, small as it was, it
was the representative body of gallant
regiment of II companies aggregating
more than 1900 men, who did valiant
service in the cause of our country in a
time of her sOrest need, when men
counted. These reunions of Maine regi-
ments, whose term of service was begun
well up to four decades ago, are, neces
ssrily, showing year by year, fewer COM
rades in attendance. They are, neces.
sarily, growing older in years, but they
are young in spirit, and these annual
gatherings of true and tried comrades
are more highly priced by them as the
years roll swiftly by. They are proud
Of the service they rendered their coun-
try, not vain over it, but gratified that
they had part, humble though it may
have been, In the salvation of the best
government upon earth. All honor to
the Union veterans of the war of the
great Rebellion. May their years be
prolonged and prosperity and happiness
attend them. They deserve the best the
country affords.

Cornelius Vanderbilt, the head of the
Vanderbilt family, died at his New
York residence early Tuesday morning,
from stroke of paralysis, aged SO
years. He died very suddenly. No
physician was present and the attack
was entirely unexpected. His wife
alone was at his bedside when he died.
He suffered an attack of paralysis in
1896 when his active business career
practically closed.

New Years Gift for Bachelors.

AIE
1t is quite a fad this year among
fashionable folks to give the oldest
presents that one can procure; and the
demand for novelty has revived that
most domestic of occupations, rag knit
ting. One Of the best methods Of
using up scraps, or rags, is to knit
them into many striped rug or carpet.
But it must be remembered that only
scraps of elegant materials are used
so that the effect will be that Of a
Persian or Oriental rug. By this pro-
cess you get, almost for nothing, what
is always brilliant in color, as well as
heavy and thick. Every handsome
thing that can be torn into shreds can
be used; cloth, faded ribbons. velvet,
old brocades, and even discarded tulle
hats. Disused dress Innings and aban-
doned sofa covers are treasures to the
rag-knitter. Nor is rag-knitting diff
cult, for the stitch is that of plain
knitting, and the needles should be of
wood, measuring one inch in circum-
ference.
AS a mat for smoke-room or even
for the bedside rug of bachelor, we
can imagine an appreciation Of rag
knitting to be the very thing. So.
ladies, tear up your old scraps and en-
ploy your leisure time in making a
reg. or carpet. for your brother, father.
lover, or other male friend. Four days
steady work will result in handsome
article twenty-seyen by fifty inches;
but should you not get it ready for
New Years, remember the birthday
souvenirs of homemade rugs form an
ornament 70 the room and prove a
pleasant reminder Of the giver when

CHILD WIVES.
THE PATHETIC PICTURE DICKENS
DREW.

OF all the characters evolved from
the master mind of Charles. Dickens,
there is perhaps none which car rival
in its pathetic interest, that of Dora,
the Little Blossom" She found the
wedding ring grow too heavy for her
little hand, and in spite Of the lavish
ness Of husbands love, she faded
away just like some sweet blossom
ndpped by untimely frost.
The pathos of the child-wife's history
reaches its climax in that last inter-
view with her husband. David sits on
the bed side. and thus the story is
told:
''She looks into my eyes and speaks
very softly, I am afraid, dear, l was
too young. I don't mean by years

DRESS OF SCOTCH PLAID.
a Study i'm Scarlet and Mahogany
Color for the Woman Who Shops.

A Study in Scarlet and Mahogany
Color for the Woman Who Shops.
A delightful combination is afforded
in the accompanying toilette which is
developed in scarlet and mahogany
color. And yet the red is not scarlet
of the shade which is so familiar to.alL
1t is a cheerful blending of scarlet and
old rose known as Solferino, and is a
color much seen in the beautiful Italian
city of Solferino replete with historic
"reminiscences.
Mahogany is one of the many browns
and initiates faithfully the articel after
which it is called.
A shopping dress recently worn was
made Of Scotch plaid combining these
colors and trimmed with fringe. The
skirt was close fitting over the hips
and was trimmed with two rows of the
fringe, one around the foot, the other
just above the knees.
The waist had bolero of plain
brown Scottish goods and around the
edges of the bolero was deep row Of
fringe which made pretty effect. The
wearer of the gown was very slim and
the fringe trimming added a pleasing
degree of fullness to the figure.

IMPENDING CHANGES
In the Offices of Secretary and Ser.
Ecant-at-Arms of the Senate.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December rs.
There appears to be no doubt that
the Republican majority in the Senate
will make move, soon after the holi-
day recess, to supplant Secretary of the
Senate William B. Cox, and Sergeant
alarms Richard J. Bright, both Demo-
Gratis, by Republicans. Under Mr.. Cox
are many Democrats, while few OF
the same party hold Office under Mr..
Bright, a notable example being the
chief Of the capital police, Capt. A. P.
Garden, of Wheeling. 1t is reported
that Senator Lodge is pushing candi-
date for Mr.. Bright's place, while
Doorkeeper Alonzo F. Stewart is a
formidable candidate. Even among
Republicans Col. Bright has many
friends, who recognize that he is the
man for this very responsible Office, and
there may be some opposition among
the majority to change at this time.
For Secretary of the Senate James S..
Clarkson, of Iowa, appears to be the
coming man.
