Maj. Gen. Wheeler has been asked
to deliver during next winter course of
lectures on the great battles of the world
before the department of history of the
University of Chicago.
Christian DeWet the famous leader
OF the Beers according to the st. James
Gazette, was a wrangler at Cambridge
ions from all during his varsity career.
"A festival is to be held in Poland in
November in honor of the author of "Quo
Vadis," and it is expected that enough
money will be subscribed to buy him a
fine country estate. 1t can hardly be
that Sienkiewicz is in need of money, for
it is reported that in addition to the sales
at home, 100000 copies of "Quo Vadis'
have been sold in the United States, 40
900 in Italy, and 10000 in Germany. while
in France its boom is just beginning.
George Ferguson, who has just died
in the Kings county almshouse, dug
graves for his board for fifteen years,
and in that time buried over 5000 bodies
OF New York paupers in potters field
there. Ferguson became an inmate of
the almshouse years ago, and the poor
| house authorities soon discovered that he
possessed considerable executive ability
and placed him in charge of the burals
1t was position of responsibility, and
he filled it until his death to the entire
satisfaction of his official supervisors
only in the end to find a grave for him
self beside the thousands that he buried
He received no pay beyond his board at
the almshouse and his clothing.

GRIEVANCE AGAINST ATLANTIS
FOLKS.

The grievance which Valdosta has
against some of the promoters of the At
lanta fair seems to be a valid one. 1t Is
that in the literature which is being sent
out by promoters of that fair expressions
are used that are calculated to give the
impression that it is to be the regu-
lar state fair. II ought to be very we'll
known, and doubtless is, that Valdosta
has the state fair this year, and IS ar
ranging to make it a great success. The
Valdosta people are putting money into it
literally, at least it is said they are, and
there is no reason to doubt it. Vadosta
is the center of a very rich agricultural
section. the people of which take a deep
interest in fairs. Unless all predictions
fail. the state fair this fail will be the
best in years.
We hardly believe that the promoters
of the Atlanta fair have purposely sought
TO give out the impression that the fair
that is to be held in that city is the state
fair. Expressions conveying that impress
sion have in all probability. been used
Inadvertently. That being the case. it is
probable that there will be no further
cause for complaint.
Atlanta people are 80 in the habit of
claiming everything. that they naturally
think If their city is not chosen for
| all the fairs and conventions 1t ought to
be. As their town gets Older and less pro-
vlncial, they will get over that habit.
No doubt the Atlanta people are pre-
pairing to lend Valdosta @ helping hand in
the matter of the fair. If they care not
they are guilty of ingratitude. for Valdos-
ia contributed a great deal to the state
| fair when it was held in Atlanta. And At
lanta should not feel the least bit envious
if Valdosta gives the people a better state
fair than she did. Vadosta is capable of
| doing It,

Made Some Queer Nayerx

Cen Francis V. Greenes story of the

New York Telegraph.
Harmon, at the stanwix Hotel in De-
troit' several years ago, bet he could
hold his head submerged in a bsthtuh

won.
In Philadelphia some years ago a gen.
teman made a wager of slG0 that he

who has ever made the attempt to
remove his clothing after being thor
oughly drenched 10 the skin, even wbeo

once realize the difficulty of accomplish
ing the feat while in the water. How
ever, 1t was done in the instance noted
A chap named Curtis in Berkshire
county, Massachusetts, for a wager of a
horse, ran five miles in forty-one min
utes, and wound up the race with a
jump of IL feet inches.
An Englishman named Head won s50oo
by walking 600 miles in ten days, but
the exertion so used him up that he
never walked much afterward, either on
