Magnificent Sword for Commander
 Colvocoresses.

A Magnificent Sword for Commander Colvocoresses.
 The Springfield Republican says:
 'The Ames sword company of Chico pee completed piece of work at o'clock, Monday afternoon, which for quickness of execution surpasses any, thing they have done. This is a pre-
 sentation sword for Commander George
 F. Colvocoresses of the Concord The
 sword will be presented inside of two
 or three days at Litchfield, Conn.,, the
 commanders native place. It will be
 accompanied by a fine dress belt of silk
 and gold lace, and all will be con-
 tained in a quartered oak case, lined
 with plush, richly mounted and bear ing name-plate with suitable inscrip-
 tion. The sword probably cost the Ames company between $400 and $500.
 "The hilt of the sword has an oval pommel, finely chased, showing an eagle and anchor in the center of a blue en- ameled circle, which is lettered, Manila, May 1, 1898. On the front of the socket is hand-carved navy trophy, consist ing of anchor, battle flags, etc., entwin- ed in oak leaves, all being richly gilded. The clasp is of white pebble sharkskin, twisted and wound with figured gold wire. The guard is of basket pattern with open work. Within the arms is a sea-horse entwined in a network of scrolls, the extreme ends at socket and base of hilt being dolphins, hand chased and richly gilded. The blade is of the finest polished steel, slightly curved, navy pattern, of fancy design, with quill back and double-edged at point. It is exquisitely etched in gold and silver with naval scenes and tro- phies, bearing on one side the following inscriptions:
 Presented to Comdr George P. Colvocoresses, U. s. N, by his fellow citizens of Litchfield, Conn, as a tes- timonial of their esteem and in recog- milton of his brilliant services on board the U. s. s. Concord in the battle of Manila bay, May 1, 1S9S."
 "The scabbard has three embossed mounts with shell endings, all cast in solid silver, hand cut, engraved and chased, and richly gilded. The upper mount shows anchor in center, the mid dle mount a monogram, c. P. C., while the lower mount is embellished with 8 spray of oak leaves, the extreme end or drag being an elaborately chased sea- dragon. The sheath is of solid sil- yer, oxydized finish, hand cut and en- graved. Between the upper mountings is the coat-of-arms of the United States navy, consisting of anchor and shield. while between the lower mounts is a panel exquisitely engraved with scrolls sea dolphins, tridents, etc.

This Dog Can Spell.

There is a South Side lady who owns
a Gordon setter which she believes is
endowed with almost human intelli-
gence. This is not hastily formed nor
unfounded opinion, but has been devel-
oped by years of experience Here is
one of the many incidents from which
has sprung her faith in her dog
Last Sunday, having finished her
dinner, the lady went into the drawing
room to read the paper. On rug near
the window the setter was basking
drowsily in the sun. The lady's two
sons were still in the dining room fin
ishing the repast, and the mother over
heard something said about bones.
Now. the good lady has mortal dread
that her beautiful dog will choke to
death on a bone some day, SO. raising

AS she spelled "chicken" the dog
raised his head and listened; at "bones"
he got up, walked into the dining room
and looked at the bones the boys were
picking. Chicago News.

The use of the wireless telegra-
ply by the British in transmitting
war dispatches from the Cape coun-
try looks to that glad day when all
war dispatches can be manufactured
in London and all the fighting done
in the war Office, thus obviating the
dangers of war and mitigating the
frightful loss of life. The victory
will in every case be awarded to the
nation which is able to turn out the
awfulest dispatches, and everybody
will buy newspapers for the sake OF
the blood curdling stories. The on
ly wonder is that such system was
not adopted sooner.

The acme of realism was reached,
though by accident, in a criminal trial
a few years ago at Lebanon, O.
Two men had personal encounter
One of them, after vainly trying to
draw his pistol from his hip pocket,
turned to flee. A moment later he fell,
shot in the small of the back. One
chamber of his pistol was found to have
been fired His assailant was tried for
murder
The defense contepded that the man
had shot himself while trying to draw
his pistol, which had become entangled
in the lining of the pocket, and that the
prisoners shot had not taken effect
The prosecution contended that such a
wound could not have been self inflicted
The defendants counsel. Clement l.
Vallandigham, undertook to demon.
strate TO the jury just how the dead
man pistol had hung in the pocket and
just how possible it was to inflict such
a wound Suddenly there was loud
report, and the lawyer sank to the floor
The ball had entered the back almost in
the identical spot where the dead man
had been shot
The defendant was acquitted Mr.
Valandigham died. - Cleveland Plain
