PROVES HER NERVE.
Horses While Coachman Has
Trace Repaired.

Mrs. Grover Cleveland and friend
were riding along Nassau street in
Princeton, n. j., behind team of spir.
ited horses the other afternoon, and
while in front of the Nassau hotel, along
the university campus, trace broke
and one horse was partly freed from the
carriage. The mishap was not noticed
by the coachman and the horses were
soon excited. Persons on the sidewalk
told Mrs. Cleveland of the accident and
the horses were stopped.
Mrs. Cleveland displayed a presence
of mind which was cheered by party
IT Princeton men. Instead of intrust,
fng the reins to others who offered their
services she gracefully thanked the vol
unteers and herself held the reins while
the coachman went to q shop to have
the broken trace repaired.
! After delay of about Is minutes the
trace was again hooked and the 0leve.
land carriage was driven rapidly to
Westland.

OFFICIAL REPORT.

Washington, May 1S.-Otis cables
the war department this morning as
follows: "Lawton, with great tact and
ability, has covered Baliocan province
and has driven the insurgents north
ward. He captured San Isidro, the in
surgent capital, this morning, and is
now driving the enemy into the noun
tains. He has had constant fighting,
inflicting heavy losses and suffering
few casualties himself. The appear
ance of his troops on the enemy's
flanks has proved very demoralizing
to the insurgents and has given them
mo time to reconcentrate their scatter
ed troops"

INGERSOLL MUST PAY.
Broken statuette and an Exactins
Landlord Cause the Colonel
Lots of Trouble.

Not fguratively but literally Dickens

fortunately broken, and the shattering
of that statuette is costing the colonel
law suit. DIR. Bristol, who rented Col.
Ingersoll the house at eco Madison ave-
nue., New York, where he lived until
recently, is the claimant, The house
was rented furnished, and on the coll

found to be broken.
Col. Ingersou offered to pay $50 and
I-4clared this was twice as much as the
Statuette was worth. DR.. Bristol
ddmed $135. Col. Ingersoll offered to
duplicate the statuette. DIR. Bristol said
1t would be impossible.
Col. Ingersoll tucked the satuette un.
der his arm and went from store to
store in vain. When tired out he sent
his private secretary on the same er.
rand, but the secretary also failed.

NEW ARMY BADGES.
Devices for Uniforms to Distinguish
Certain Grades Recently Created.
Forked Lightning VIII Mark the
Army Electrician, Two Crossed
Hammers the Mechanic and
White Cap the Cook.

The new army law provided for some
noncommissioned officers, among others
an electrician sergeant, a place made
necessary by the development of cleo
tricity in the artillery arm; drum
major, formerly the most conspicuous
and gorgeous feature of the linej q
mechanic and artihcer; a saddler, q
functionary Of the cavalry; and @
cook, place which grew out of the
experience of the troops at camps,
where they we're the victims Of incom-
petent culinary employees.
The creation of these new places has
made It necessary to devise cap or
naments and chevrons to designate the
rank. A design of forked lightning has
been chosen to represent the electrician
sergeant. Two crossed batons will
stand for the ornate drum major. The
design for the mechanic and artihcer
will be two crossed hammers, and that
of the saddler will be the round knife
Of that artisan. These emblems re-
resent the tools distinctive of the trade,
and the authorities had no great diff
Guilty In deciding on them, but they
experienced some difficulty in fixing
design for the cook, who was found
TO be without any special article of
his vocation which could serve the pur-
pose Of designation. 1t was finally de-
cided to adopt the cooks cap as a de-
sign, made of cloth, conforming in col
or to the arm of the service except for
the signal corps, which will be black
upon white cloth.
In the matter of devices worn by
enlisted men of the army 1t has also
been decided that all soldiers who dur
ing the legal period of the war were
assembled in camps or rendezvous in
this country or into separate bodies,
such as regiments, brigades, etc., and
oil who embarked on transports for
campaigns against the enemy in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the islands Of the Pa
,cific or on the high seas, are entitled
to wear Service in war" chevrons. This
privilege does not apply to the enlisted
men who were performing service in
garrisons on the western frontier,
which is deemed requisite in time Of
peace and in no wise considered part
of the army assembled to carry on the
war with Spain.

INJUNCTION
Wanted in a Case Commenced
by Joseph Friedman.
PERSONAL INJURIES ALLEGED
In an Action Placed on Trial This Morn
ing Before Judge McCarty and
Jury--verdict in an Insur-
ance Case.

Joseph Friedman has commenced an
action in common pleas court against
the Canton Notion company, M. Moore,
as treasurer of said company, and Max
Kaufman. The petition asks that the
defendants be enjoined from paying
dividends of said company, due plain
tiff, to Max kaufman. The suit grows
out of an agreement between the par
ties by which the stock OF the Canton
Notion company was to be decreased
from $40, 900 to 50, 500. Dividends due
plaintiff resulting from this decrease
were to be applied, by order of the
plaintiff, on promissory note held by
the First National bank and to Max
Kaufman. This order, it is alleged,
was afterwar1 received, but it is
claimed defendants continue to pay
dividends due him and restraining
order is prayed for. Attorneys Welty
and Albaugh filed the petition.

GROCERS WIN THE CASE.
Alleged Reformers Did Not Appear to
Prosecute Eaton
AND THE OTHER CASES FELL.
Grocers Believe There Were Irregularities
and Squire Reigner Promptly
Dismisses All Similar
Cases That Were
Affected.

Half the retail grocers and tobacco
nists of the city were present in JUS
tice Reigner's Office this morning at 10
o'clock when the case OF Fred N. Eaton
for the alleged selling OF cigars to a
minor was to have been on for hearing.
The case was not heard. Mr.. Arthur
j. Koplin, the prosecuting witness in
the case, was conspicuously absent.
1t will be remembered that Justice
Reigner demanded security for costs in
the case against Eaton. The costs
were not secured, neither was the rake
off the prosecutors may have expected
to realize from the arrest
and conviction of the gro
GERS. When Mr.. Eaton appeared
ready for trial this morning no one was
present to prosecute him and his case
was dismissed. Therefore all the cases
against Canton grocers are disposed Of
Mr.. Eaton's case was the last case.
Affidavits had also been filed against
G. Grossklaus, 7. G. Boiles, Philip
Heinrich and Charles Snyder, but
Squire Reigner, suspecting irregular

gang of alleged child protectors, did
not issue warrants for the accused.

CHINESE COURT HISTORIANS.
They May Write the Truth, for Their
Work Is Secret Until the
Dynasty Ends.

There are court historians In China as
there are in other countries, but there
is one striking difference, and it lies in
the fact that the work of the Chinese
court historians does not see the light
until the reigning dynasty comes to an
end.
In this way these Celestial historians
have no opportunity to describe most
truthfully the virtues and vices of the
various rulers and the real significance
of the events which take place during
their regime. They can write what
they please without fear of censure, for
they know that their work will not be
published as long as the reigning dy-
nasty lasts.
This has been the rule for more than
1000 years, the first court historians
having been appointed by the imperial
house Of Han, which reigned from 2O6
B. c. until 26 AID.
The duty Of these historians is to
write plain account of all the events
that occur during their tenure of Office.
At regular intervals their completed
work is taken from them and is locked
up in an iron safe or vault. There tire
mains until the first member of new
dynasty ascends the throne,
1t Is then given with all the other his
tories in the vault to the court historian,
who Is then living, and from the mass of
documents he is expected to prepare a
truthful history of the dynasty which
has just expired. The present dynasty
has been reigning since 1914, and con-
sequently no court history has been
published since that date.-Chicago

ENDORSEMENT
OF w. w. Hole Still Creating
Much Discussion.
COLUMBIANA COUNTY PAPER
Mentions the Methods by Which the Will
OF the People Was Thwarted In the
Selection OF a Candidate--Good
Republican Authority.

Republican Authority.
Columbiana county people and the
press of the county have not ceased to
refer to the methods adopted to secure
the endorsement of the Columbiana
county bar for w. W. Hole for common
pleas Judge. The Lisbon Journal, a
substantial Republican authority, says
of the recent endorsements:
"Though Judge Wells made q speech
after the bar of Columbiana county had
voted in favor of his opponent, and
pledged himself TO stand by that de.
cision, there is an undercurrent of dis
satisfaction. 1t is claimed by friends
of Judge Wells that he had the popu-
lar vote Of the county and had the ma
jority OF the votes of the attorneys up
to short time before the ballot was
taken. 1t Is said that q we'll known
Lisbon attorney took an unwarranted
part in the proceedings and that he
cast the influence OF himself and friends
with the Hole people at the last mo-
ment. The Lisbon attorneys caused
the defeat of Judge Wells. 1t Is claim
ed that devious ways were pursued by
those who compassed the defeat Of
Judge Wells"
