State Senator Frank w. Maynard, of

home in Nashua from Louisville, Ky.
where he attended the national con-
vention of the Merchant Tailors' ma
tonal exchange, says the Boston
Globe. He arrived in Kentucky just
after the shooting of Mr.. Goebel and
witnessed the excitement which fol-
lowed. During his stay in Louisville
he was introduced to Col. Jack Chinn,
md he tells an amusing story of their
meeting.
I'VE were introduced" said Senator
Maynard, "by mutual friends. and l
noticed that Col. Chinn extended his
left hand to me. At the time thought
It a bit queer. but after saw him do
the same thing with several other
men / came to the conclusion that he
was left-handed. Perhaps my face In
dicated my surprise Mt the manner Of
shaking hands. for he turned to me
a few minutes later and Remarked:
"'You have noticed. perhaps. that

we have grown accustomed to that
during the past few days. You see.
We like to keep our right hands close

Some weeks ago the aged chief. who

he was to start he enjoined his grand
son and nephew to make the visit for
him. and they accordingly started. 1t
was not until they reached Boston by
way of Montreal that they learned
that Longfellow was dead. and their
grief was marked.
In company with Francis West, the

BUY RARE BEASTS.

OnIy Double bumped camels
I'm America.

The sale of the Hagenbeck animals
opened at the geological gardens at
Cincinnati, o.. the other day and was
largely attended by circus men as
well as representatives of other
amusement interests. The sale was
directed by Heinrich Hagenbeck. a
son of the famous animal dealer.
The chicago committee, consisting
OF Messrs. Wickersham. Byron and
Redieske, representing the Lincoln
park board of that city, were the
main bidders and bought in unusually
fine specimens of animals at excep-
tionaliy low figures. Paul Redieske,
the bidder for The board, made quite
a hit when he bought the pair OF
double-humped camels. paying $3.50
for the pair. This Is the only pair
ever brought to America and 1t was
expected that they would bring $500
or more. A female cheetah leopard,
the only specimen in America, was
also bid in by the Chicago people for
$ess, as we'll as male and female
llama for s197.5O and one male aoudad
for SIS. Very few monkeys were
sold. The Philadelphia 200 bought
the stuffed gorilla for $500 and the New
York museum a thoroughbred lioness
for $3.50. Many other purchases were
made by the circus people.

name Of their son William changed
from William to Charles Brandon
Booth.
Ballington Booth said that he did
not care to discuss the proposed
change in advance Of the court pro-

the change was made because the boy
had been named after Gen. William
Booth and that 1t grew out of the diff

between the members of the Booth
family.

BELLS WITH A HISTORY.
Career of the Famou. Peal of st.
Michael. In charIestou.
south Carolina.

A peal OF bells that has had MS ac-
yenturous career as any that hang in
old world towers Is the famous peal of
St. MichaeI's, Charleston, $. Z. Five
times have these bells crossed the sea.
once rs heap Of ruined metal. and two
armies have they had to encounter or
escape; yet today the nine bells are of
unusual purity and sweetness OF tone.
says Youths Companion.
Cast in England before the rerolu-
ton, and brought over TO st. Michael's.
they met with their first dnnger in That
war. That they might not be injured.
they were sent back to England. After
the war was over the people of Charles
ton wanted them, and il became the
duty of the first American minister to
England to negotiate for them. He
was successful, and amidst triumphant
ovations they were escorted TO the
church.
All went we'll with them till the civil
war. Then the steeple of st. Michael's
was made the target for the cannon of
the besiegers. 1t was necessary to re-
move the bells to suffer place, and
tOey were SEM 10 SoiuIibids hueu
Sherman's army took Columbia, the
sheds in the yard of the state house.
In which the bells had been placed.
were broken into and the bells smashed
into fragments. while the sheds we're
set on fire.
They were not yet done for, however.
At the close OF the war the pieces were
carefully gathered together and
shipped to Liverpool, together with ex-
tracts from the records of st. Michael's,
showing where the bells were cast and
the proportion OF metals forming the
component parts.
Upon inquiry 1t was found that the
firm of bell founders that had cast the
bells was still in existence, unchanged
in name. and consisting of the descend
ants of the original firm. The records
of the firm contained an account of
the casting of the bells. and the proper
tons corresponded with those in the
ST. Michael's records.
Under such favorable circumstances
II was not hard torecast the bells. Then
for the fifth time they crossed the At
lantic and arrived safely in Charleston.
