 The following clipping from an Illinois paper will interest MT. Wadsworth's Staf- | ford friends: "Rev. Julian Wadsworth ar rived in the city as announced and is look ing remarkably well and finds host of friends most happy to see him. His resemblance to his illustrious brother-in- | law, Judge Yates, has caused him some amusing experiences. When in Chicago ! last week the judge was booked to speak on a certain occasion and was unavoid- ably delayed and the audience became trife impatient. Finally MT. Wadsworth entered and at once word was passed around that the speaker had come and the reverend gentleman was accorded vigorous greeting, which was somewhat embarrassing for few moments until the mistake was discovered, When in
 Pekin he was mistaken by paper and announced to the city with his stopping place, and that evening was the recipient
 of a serenade which he enjoyed not
 little. In this city Monday afternoon a
 gentleman stepped up to him and greet ing him most cordially, went on to say
 q am glad as can be you were nominated
 at Peoria and congratulate you honestly
 and heartily. My only regret is that l
 can't vote for you but will try to do you all the good can." Much more in the
 same vein was said and finally the man
 was undeceived and was quite astonished,
 for he thought he knew Judge Yates if he
 knew anybody.
