A Valuable Souvenir lobe.

B. F. Smith, of Stewart, Of Athens
county, is constructing a gavel out of
native and historical wood from every
state in the Union, for the use of the
chairman of the next Republican ma
tional convention. He has recently
been in receipt of specimens-two
pieces of hickory taken from near the
tomb of General jackson, naer Nash
vile, Tenn, another piece from the
headquarters flagstaff used by Gener-
ais Pope. Mead and Terry, in front of
Atlanta Ca, the tree from which the
staff was made being cut on the lands
of the late Colonel Clarke Howell, on
the banks of Peachtree creek, at the
point where q da1eral Benjamin Harri-
sons command crossed the creek dur
ing the battle of July, 1864 another
bit of wood taken from the logs of an
old house in the Indian Territory,
where the first newspaper published
by the Indians of North America was
issued. Mr.. Smith promises to have
one of the most interesting relics of
the times ready for the chairman of
th9s national convention
called in 1900, to nominate William
Mckinley for a second term as presi-
dent of the United States.-Rife in

The Politician,

Washington, Jan. 20.-President Nc
Kinley destroyed large lot of Demo-
cratic ammunition when he ordered
the court martial of Commisary Gen
eraT Eagan for having used language
unbecomiDg an officer and gentleman
concerning Gen. Miles, his superior Of
ficer,. in his testimony before the War
Investigating Committee, There was
not the slightest doubt about what the
President would do in this case, al
though the Democrats pretended to
think that Eagan's conduct would be
overlooked by the President because
Secretary AlgeF and Gen. Miles were
hot on good terms. The court mar
tial will assemble in Washington at
once and the standing of the we'll
known officers who will compose it
makes it certain that the verdict will
be prompt and just.
Among the President callers this
week were a number of prominent
On4oans, who are in Washington for
the purpose of interesting Congress in
the ohio Centennial CelebraL.on, to be
held at Toledo in 1902 and getting an
appropriation for government partici-
patton therein.
After adopting an amendment limit
ing the amount to be paid to the Mari
time Canal Co., to $5,OO0,0OO, and vot-
ing down several others, one providing
for direct ownership of the canal by
the United States government, the Sen
ate passed the Morgan Nicaragua Ca
nal Bill.
With half dozen exceptions, the
Democratic Senators, under the lead of
German, are engaged in scheme to

OF fighting the treaty openly or even
of open fillibustering against it to pre-
vent a vote, but, as a result of con-
ference held this week, they will en-
deavor to accomplish their purpose by
offering series of apparently legiti-
mate amendments to the treaty each of |

Mrs. Mckinley spent their Sunday rather
quietly, nothing Of special note transpiring
to make the day differ materially from

his important mail. After breakfast, he,
with Mrs. Mckinley and Mrs. Pitcairn,
took a stroll through the extensive grounds
surrounding the Pitcairn residence. aud
then spent another hour in the brary. At
l0:45 the President was driven to the
Christ NJ. e. Church, where he heard a
sermon preached by Rev Daniel Dorches-
ter, who without making any direct refer
ence 10 the President, made it very evident
that all bodies. whether religious, social
or political, must nave a supreme head
whose hands must be upheld by mutual
co-ope ration.
Long before the hour announced for the
church services. The large edifce was fill
ed 10 overlooking, and thousands Of per
sons mad gathered in the vicinity to get a
glimpse of the President as he entered the
church.
In the afternoon the President and Mrs.
Mckinley accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs
Pitcairn took drive through Schenley
Park.
In anticipation of a very busy day to-
morrow, the President retired at an early
hour.

ANOTHER RAILROAD DEAL.
Illinois Central After Minneapolis
and st. Louis Road.

anu 81.
New York, Aug. 27.-The Herald says:
From semi official sources, it is learned
that a deal is pending in Wall street
whereby the Illinois Central may get con-
trol of the Minneapolis and St. Louis
Railroad. Negotiations to this end are
said to have been under way for some time
between the Harriman-Fish interests, rep
resenting the Illinois Central, and Presi-
dent Edwin Hawley, representing the pres
ent control of the Minneapolis and St.
Louis. No definite agreement has yet
been reached, but Wall street interests
having knowledge of the situation say that
in any event a traffic alliance will be eff
facted and that a change of control will
probably be brougt about.
\ superficial glance at maps indicating
the geographical position of the two prop
critics, shows that such deal would be
greatly to the advantage of both roads
The Illinois Central would be given access
10 territory rich in traffic which it does
not now touch; would get fine terminals in
Minuesotas twin cities, Minneapolis and
St. Paul, and would have practically a
through line from Duluth TO the Gulf Of
Mexico

These prices are the selling price of the
wholesalers, with the exception Of the
roast and loin prices. To these must be
added whatever is TO be realized is profits.
In some cases the prices of the inferior
portions may vary from the prices quot
ed.
In this respect conditions in Chicago are
widely different from what they are else
where. In other cities the spread Of
prices between the lowest and highest is
much less. In London chuck rib Is
sold at about 16 cents pound and loin
ait p cents. In New York prices are much
the same as in London. This popularity
of Chicago seems to be due TO the fact
that the people have got into the habit
Of demanding sirloln and porterhouse
steaks and rib roas,s, and look with dis
favor on the chuck and round steaks
There is a feeling of hesitancy in Offering
a guest steaks of the latter kind. In
none but the poorer class Of restaurants
IS round steak 10 be had at any price.
This is neither economy nor correct diete-
tics for the fOreQuarters, embracing the
chuck portion. are more nutritious and
better for food than any other part of the
beeef OF the hndquarters the round Is
the best for food. Dealers in meats in
Chicago have made attempts 20 increase
the consumption Of the parts other than
the loin and rib portions, but have made
little progress. The prevailing high price
Of loins and ribs should teach the people
the value of rounds ana chucks. Thus
the high price may prove ultimately a
real benefit.
