that Mr.. w w Mackall was one of the
most important factors in that company,

THAT FAMOUS OLD APPLE TREE

Not even the President of the Tinted
States is proof against the historical fake.
it seems. In hts Memorial Day address or,
the Antietam battlefield President McKin-
ley said among other things: my fellow
citizens, am glad, and you are glad also.
Of that. famous meeting between Grant and
Lee, at Appomattox Courthouse. I am glad
that they came together; aren't you?
(Cries of yes, yes.) Glad that the Union
was saved by the honorable terms made
between Grant and Lee, under the famous
apple-tree. And there is one glorious fact
that must always be gratifying to US
American soldiers never surrendered but
to Americans" Enthusiastic appause.)
Note that the President said. terms
made under the famous app,e-
tree" According TO the testimony of both
Gems. Grant and Lee, and also of their
staff officers, the meeting took place in
the Mclean house, where the terms were
arranged after a conference lasting some
thing like three hours. But the testimony
of these eminent gentlemen does not seem
10 be powerful enough to set at rest the
myth of the apple-tree.
Just how and why the apple-tree story
gained currency seems to be somewhat
clouded Possibly some shrewd person,
with an eye to the main chance invent d
the narrative of the surrender under the
apple-tree in order to boom the sale OF
souvenirs. AT all events, there are prcb-
ably i'm existence TO this day a dozen cords
of walking canes and other articles guar
anteed by the sellers to have been made
from the wood of the identical appIe-tree
at Appomattox Court House, under which
Grant and Lee met and arranged the
terms of the surrender
The apple-tree fake has been exposed
probably fifty times; nevertheless it
seems there are many persons
who still believe Il. among them
the President Do our Northern
friends insist upon having the tree in
their history of the surrender whether it
had any existence or not? If so, there Is
nothing to prevent them. And they may
go right along purchasing canes made
from the wood of the tree, each cane ac-
companied by a certificate Of authenticity
Meanwhile true history shows that the
commanding generals met in a comfort
able room of the Mclean house and there
discussed and arranged their business.

"At or near the city of Charleston" is
the language of the Tillman amendment
to the naval bill. authorizing an inquiry
with respect to the expedieney of remov-
ing the naval station from Port Royal.
To place such an establishment at the
city Of Charleston being out of the ques-
ton, the near" alternative would have
to be adopted. To meet the conditions IL
would be necessary for the dock to be

A queer will came before the Pennsyl-
vania Supreme Court the other day. A
DIR. Gerber had left an estate of some
100000 to his great-great grandchildren,
of whom none was in existence. The Doc
tor had queer ideas respecting the future
life. and thought that when his youngest
great-grandchild had reached the age of
p years, ne would himself revisit the
earth. and he desired the estate kept in
tact until that time. The court held the
will to be invalid and awarded the es-
tate to the son of the Ndecedant

three or four of the regular approprfat ton
bills to be completed and passed. In the
rush to reach the day Of adjournment, it
is possible that several jobs will be per-

probabilities are that no legislation save
the regular appropriation bills will re-

Lord Kitchener, of Khartoum has drop
ped practically out of sight in the South
African war. Very seldom is his name
mentioned at all, and even when it ap-
pears in the dispatches it is in merely
casual way. After his brilliant campaign
against Khartoum, il was to be expected
that he would cut big figure in South
Africa. Is it because the diminutive
'tBobs" so greatly overshadows his gigan-
tic chief of staff that nothing is ever
heard of Kitchener?

that while bubonic plague undoubtedly
exists there, as has been shown by micro
scopic examinations of specimens. no liv-
ing case of the disease has yet been seen
by any of the physicians. This is owing
to the fact that the Chinese secrete their
sick. They would hide their dead also
if 1t were possible. Meanwhile, the rate
of mortality ins the Chinese section is
said 20 be very low, averaging only
about two deaths day from all causes.
