An Interesting Relic.

James Harlan was born in Clark coun-
~. ILL.,, August 25, 1920. He graduated at
Indiana Asbury university in 1915, and be-
came a lawyer. He was elected the first
superintendent of instruction of Iowa in
IS41: was president of Iowa Wesleyan uni
versity at Mount Pleasant, in 1853 He
was United States senator from Iowa
from 1855 to 1865, was secretary of the in
terror ii Lincoln's second CABINET, 1866.
and was again United States senator
from Iowa from 1866 to 1878. In 1882 Mr.
Harlan was appointed chief justice of the
court of commissioners of Alabama
claims; which position he held four years.
In 1898 he was called from retirement to
act as temporary chairman of the Repub-
lican state convention. AS such officer he
made speech which welded a tremend-
Gus influence in checking the threatened
bolt of prohibition for practical local OPP
ton. He was a candidate for the republic
can nomination for governor in 1885, but
his age was against him. He also served
as a member of the Iowa Soldiers and
Sailors; Monument commission, and was
prominent in the councils of the Methodist
church.
Senator Harlan's wife died in 1884. She
was remarkable woman, and during the
civil war did much to alleviate the suf-
ferings of the Union soldiers, having an
unlimited pass from Secretary Stanton to
go where she pleased.

EX-SENATOR HARLAN is DEAD.
Re Held Many Places of Honor and
Distinction i'm Beth State and
National Affairs.

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. THE death
of ex-United states Senator James
Harlan occurred at his home in Mount
Pleasant, Thursday. The end was not
unexpected, collapse having taken
place last Sunday. The immediate
cause of the death was congestion OF
the lungs, complicated with liver trou-
BILE. Over-eXertion in attending TIE
sessions of the Iowa Methodist con-
ference last week aggravated his mala-
dies and caused prostration. His
daughter, the wife of Robert I. Lin
coin, of Chicago, was summoned from
New York city, and WAS present at the
bedside. The funeral will probably be
held in Iowa Wesleyan chapel, in
Mount Pleasant, on Sunday.

wnere !. GOOD pistol /. ADMIRED.

Hon. Willism Workman, long state treas
urer of Texas, was in a New York jewelry
store one day when he noticed showcase
filed with splendid jeweled revolyers, with
silver and gold grips and chased barrels, hav-
ing precious stones set into the butts.
femme see one of those guns, he said
to the clerk.
(Which one, sir"
The gold one with the big ruby in the
handle"
The clerk took it from the case. 1t was
marked $500, and it looked even worth
more. The Texan took it tenderly in both
hands and held it admiringly up to the
light. Then drawing himself up to his full
height, which was six feet and half, he
rested the revolver upon his left elbow,
crooked for the purpose, and looked over
the sights down, the long store. Those per-
sons who saw involuntarily lodged.

intense enthusiasm, as he returned the
weapon, '.if | was to wear that gun down in
my state. the people would be falling down
on their knees begging to be killed with it!'

Specialties of Eel Pies, Tripe Sup
pers, Green Turtle Soup and
Oyster Patties.

Tt is not many years since practically
every London tavern, with any preten-
sions at all, had its own special dish,
upon whose excellence it prided itself,
and to partake of which people often
travelled considerable distances. Eel
pies, for instance, were once The great
feature of "duellists' breakfasts" served
at the old Sluice house, near Finsbury
park; the necessary quantity of fish be-
ing regularly dredged up from the
stream that used to run under the win
dows. The pies can still be had, but the
cells are now obtained from a fish
monger who carries on business in an
adjoining thoroughfare.
Dating back to about the same period
are the oyster patties, for which Rules,
in Maiden lane, is still famous; while
not far away, in the Strand, is Simp-
sons, noted for its fish dinners. These
latter were quite an institution in days
gone by, and even now there are to be
found certain old-fashioned bon-vivants
who swear by them. The guest pays
certain fixed sum and eats as much fish
of as many different varieties as he may
care for.

fury. The only portions of the fish
used, it appears, are the calipee. the
caipash and the fins. These are stewed
together for some time in specially
prepared stock, and the result is a Pc
culiar gelatinous green liquor, which
tastes of nothing in particular.
To this foundation is added, however,
at different times and in varying proper
tons, allspice, marjoram, thyme, whole
pepper, salt, green basil, rue, flour, but

thankful for.
Both the Cock and the Rainbow pride
themselves on their chops. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that the for
mer hostelry is by no means identical
with the tavern immortalized by Ten
nyson in his ''Will Waterproof" That
particular house stood, in fact, on the
opposite side of the street, and was of
far less pretentious proportions.
Besides its chops, the Rainbow boasts
of a special dish, in the shape of sad

ton to the particular tit-bits and slices
