EAGLE WAS COLD ABE"

IAtlantic City Cor. Philadelphia Times
Last evening a beautifully mounted
gray eagle was presented TO the city
council by Colonel John Holmes Grover,
late editor of the Press. The eagle was
renamed by Colonel Grover in honor OF
his friend. Alderman Harry Bucharach.
and when the new city hail IS completed
it viii occupy a place OF honor In the
council chamber
About 1860 It was captured in the TAR
Northwest by Colonel Grover and raised
by him from a fiedgling. When Colonel
Grover enlisted in the civil war he took
the bird along with him and AZ became
the mascot OF his regiment The bird
was known by the soldiers as "Old Abe"
and a brass check bearing his name was
attached to one of his legs. The last seen
Of Old Abe by Colonel Grover and the
boys of his command was on the first
days fight at Gettysburg In July, 1868
After the battle the eagle was among
the missing and the pet of the regiment
was sincerely mourned by all as killed
on that historic field
During his recent vacation along Far
river. in South Carolina, Colonel Grover
went cunning. The party espied an eagle
rifle to his shoulder Colonel Grover said
that he would try TO hit him. He was
laughed at, but his rifle shot went true 10
it's mark and the bird fell to the ground.
he was astounded to find that the eagle
was no other than Old Abe the mascot
of his regiment. The identification was
made complete and convincing by the
brass check attached to the cagle's leg
Old Abe was stuffed and mounted ana
visitors to this city by calling on Marshal
Ford, who has charge Of the trophy.

SHOULD ASK HIS WIFE.
Bryan Says Mrs. Hanna Could
Tell About Trusts.

Sheldon, Ill, Oct Mr.. Bryan had
not expected to make any speeches on
his way from Chicago to Indianapolis,
but he found crowds wherever the train
stopped for any length of time and to
some he spoke briefly. AT Kanakee he
said:
Our candidate for vice president, Mr.
Stevenson, has been devoting some time
to this state, even though have been
apparently neglecting it 1 have been

Icans claim they are going to make
gains, but my observation is that the
Republican gains you hear of, are al
ways in some other county than the one
you are in. When you get out there
they are going to carry the east. When
you get down east they are going to car
ry the west and when you get about the
middle of the country they are a little
shy on votes just there and expect to
make gains at both. ends of the country
We are making gains everywhere for
many reasons. One of the principal rea-
sons is that those who come into con-
tact with the trusts know that the trusts
exist, Notwithstanding Mr.. Hanna says
there are no trusts. He ought to ask
his wife, for every woman knows some
thing about the trusts. Another reason
is that men who have recently read the
Declaration of Independence, know that
the Republican party is violating that
declaration and some of the Republicans
who have not read it in recent years are
looking it up and leaving the Republican

BUFFALO BILLS SUIT.
His Manager Says It Is Hold Up
and VIII Be Fought

Joseph Quade, the manager of the
Buffalo" Bill wild west show, was in
the city yesterday to get an attorney
to attend to the attachment suit which
was brought against the show by Will
lam Nichols. In speaking of the case
Mr.. Quade said:
1T is a plain case of hold up. I have
had a great many similar experiences
since. I have been In the show business
All they want is a little money and they
will not prosecute That is what they
ten me when I 90 to see them about it.
This case is no exception to the rule
Lon Townsend is the man who is back
of the case It came about in this way:
Our Autograph man came around in ad-
vance of the show and made arrange
ments with Townsend to hang Htho-
graphs in his window. In return Tor
this he was to receive an order for tick
cts to the show. We have a man VINO
goes around and checks up the htho-
graphs and if they are not in the win
doWs as the agreement calls for, he
marks N. c. on his book opposite the
number OF the building, and when the
order is presented the man at the door
refuses to acknowledge it. This was
the case with Townsend. He gave an
order to Nichols which was not good
because the paper had not been kept
in the window. Nichols was refused
admittance and claims that he was
struck by the men.
Il went to see Townsend and ex-
pressed my opinion of the suit. told
him what I thought of it. The show
was a. benefit to Townsend as it creates
a demand for beer. People come to
town when the show is here and they
want Schlitz beer. Townsend is the
agent for that beer in Topeka and the
show helps his business as it does with
every man who handles beer. We do
not intend to settle the case and will
fight it through every court before we
give up. Townsend says he will spend
500 in the case-we will make him
spend a lot more than that before he
is through with it. 1 viii join the show
I in Pittsburg, but will be back here when
the case comes up for trial.
