FATE OF CONFEDERATE SEAL.
1t Was First Defaced and Then Sunk in
the Savannah River.

HThe result of the last Confederate
council of war held at Abbeyille, South
Carolina, in May, $50, was soon known
all over Abbeville, and the Generals
and the Secretary of War were kept
busy for hours signing honorable dis
charges for the tired soldiers, who inn
mediately applied for them" writes
Mrs. Thaddeus Horton, in the October

evening Mr.. Benjamin asked for a

Confederate seal. At about IL o'clock
the same night the Confederate party
continued their retreat in the dlrec-
ton OF Washington, Georgia, AMI while
crossing the Savannah river in the
darkness some one suggested that the
seal be thrown overheard. The idea
was at once approved, and when the
boat reached midstream it was dropped
with dull splash into the sandy river
bed of that beautiful southern water
course, where to this day, its mission
all fulfilled, it serenely rests"

AUTOMOBILE AMBULANCE.

Description of First One Used In the
United States.
Boston's police ambulances now have
q competitor from which it will be
hard for them to take away cases. 1t
is an automobile ambulance, said to be
the first ever used in the United States,
and In every respect the wagon and
equipment seem to be exactly what Is
needed to handle accident cases. The
automobile was built in Philadelphia
and can carry as many as four patients
without great crowding. The exterior,
according to the Boston Transcript, is
much like the ordinary delivery wag-
ons with which Boston people have be-
come familiar. On the sides are the
words, Wage Farmers Emergency
Hospital" The interior Of the wagon
has double floor, and each floor is
wide enough to admit two stretchers.
Under ordinary circumstances the top
floor will be strapped up against the
side, and there will be stretcher and
a seat for an attendant upon the wagon
floor.
Besides two stretchers which are to
be carried the wagon is equipped with
large surgical case, medical case, a
case containing surgical instruments,
stationary medicine chest and tank
Of oxygen to be used in cases Of suffo-
cation and drowning. With this equip
ment complete temporary hospital
can be set up by the attendant and all
sorts Of injuries treated. as in rail-
road accident or at large fire. The
power by which the automobile ambu-
lance is run is storage battery consid-
erably lighter than those which are in
general use. This battery on one charg-
ing will carry the ambulance As miles
at rate of Is miles an hour.

Dresses That Are Shown at the Pa
lais de Costume In Paris.
That gowns possess fascination for
men as we'll as women is nowhere
more strongly exemplified than at the
Paris exposition, for there is always a
crowd around the clothes exhibit, and
in that crowd are quite as many, If not
more, men than women who are appar-
emily deeply impressed with the beauty
Of the materials as we'll as the differ
ent styles of gowns and wraps, says
Harper's Bazaar. The Palais de Cos
tune is never failing source of inter-
est, and the crowd there on expensive
days is just as great as when the cheap
er admission is charged, and here again
there will be found more men than wo-
men who are perfectly absorbed in the
minute details Of the costumes exhib-
tied.
If you ask afman who has seen the
exposition what Is a good thing to see,
he will nine times out Of ten tell you
on no account to miss the Palais de
Costume and the wonderful exhibition
that the different dressmakers have
sent as proofs Of what they can do.
At these exhibitions the leading dress
makers from all over exhibit their
wares, and the most gorgeous ball
gowns dinner gowns. street costumes
tea gowns. wraps, cloaks, hats and lin
gerie are displayed. The only trouble
is that it gives rather false idea to the
poorer classes as to the extravaganza
in dress INDUCED in by the leaders OF
fashion, for many Of these costumes
are almost too gorgeous for anything
but the stage.

TO SEE A ROSE.
Indiana Man Journeyed Across the
Country and over Ocean.

Indiana Man Journeyed Across the
Country and Over Ocean.
On recent trip over from New York
the steamer st. Louis Of the American
line had among its passengers man
who was booked as e. G. Hill Of Indi-
ana. He was quiet, unpretentious
person and generally focked by him
self during tie voyage; but, as always
happens on these ocean liners sooner or
later before you have landed, your
place of birth, pedigree and business in
life become common property, so it
eventually transpired that this very
unassuming man was on mission Of
most uncommon import.
e. G. Hill of Indiana Is in the rose
growing business, and he was travel
ing over 1000 miles at considerable ex-
pense for the sole purpose of inspect
ing new rose that he had learned had
just been produced in the south of
England, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Mr.. Hill said that If he liked the rose
he stood ready to offer several thou
sand dollars for it, and he would con-
slider himself lucky if he was able to
return to America as its exclusive
owner.
"You have no idea," he continued,
show luxurious the American people
are becoming in the way Of flowers.
We spend more money for them than
any nation in the world, and our horti-
culturists and florists pay enormous
sums for new varieties Of plants.
"The newspaper stories last year that
famous pink was sold for $4,000
were an exaggeration. In reality it
brought $4,000, but its purchaser
made six times this amount out of it. I
myself paid 5000 for new variety Of
pink last year. Chicago is the largest
distributing point for cut flowers in the
United States. This is because the
smaller towns near Chicago do not
raise their own flowers, as those
around New York do. We also furnish
the California market with thousands
of plants every year. There is great
demand for flowers in San Francisco,
but somehow or other the dollhouse
plants do not seem to thrive on the Pa
cific slope"

TOLD OF LORD RUSSELL.
Eminent British Jurist's Interest In
Boys Sports, Even to Baseball.

Eminent 1nteIe0t
Boys Sports, Even to Baseball.
There was hardly more popular
character among British boys any
where than the late Baron Russell Of
Killowen, the lord chief justice of
England. He Joined in their games
frequently. Perhaps he was the first
lord chief Justice that ever played leap
frog. He did this one year with some
Harrow boys on the green before the
school. But he should be particularly
liked by the boys Of the United States
because he was in one of the few base
ball games witnessed in England.
1t came about in this way, says the
New York Sun. The Right Hon.
Charles Lord Russell Of Killowen, G..
G. NJ. G., to give his full title, had been
known throughout his career as a
friend of field sports, particularly
cricket. He had been director in many
school boards. Whenever he visited
these schools, he asked the boys about
their games and occasionally took
hand in them. That is how he came to
be a cricket player and a tennis player
and various other things. Whenever
the boys of rival schools got up a
| match, and the chief Justice was with
in reach, he was called upon to UNI
pire it. He rarely refused these invita-
| lions. He told class at Elton one
| spring that he would prefer to be the
finest bowler in England than to hold
the premiership Of Great Britain. The
boys gave him three cheers.
| One day game of baseball was pro-
/, posed between some Southwark boys
| in London and nine composed Of lads
belonging to parochial school Of
which his lordship was director. Now
a game Of baseball is rare in England.
! They prefer cricket over there. But a
few years ago an effort was made to
introduce our national game into Brit
ain. 1t has not met with much sue
cess. The English say it Is too boyish.
/ Perhaps that may be why only the
boys of England have taken much in
terest in baseball as yet. When the
j game was arranged. an umpire was
essential, particularly so in view Of the
fact that nobody understood much of
Z luS uudIIcT. AOFu RuSSell WAS SeloCLSQ.
] The game was great success. His
lordship did the umpiring like hero.
The London sporting newspapers made
very merry over the affair, particular
ly as one Of the teams got $50 runs
and there We're II innings. 1t seems
that the game ended very much sooner
than had been expected, and his lord.
/ ship suggested that they go ahead and
have more innings. He evidently
thought it was usual thing. 1t must
have been very remarkable game
Sporting Life, in poking fun at his lord
ship. observed that nobody got put out
Ia the first inning at all. In the fourth
inning the ball was lost and the mar
at the bat made ten home runs, one
right after the other, and had them al
counted by the umpire. .
! However, Lord RUSSELL was such
yer Of sports thg one can easily for
gks him. He was at the head of ar
association which helps amateur spor1
among boys and girls in England. HI
himself had given many prizes. HI
was an honorary member Of school
girls cricket team in England.
