A WnshIngton Button.

A recent find" at Yarmouthport recalls
an interesting custom of the closing years
of the eighteenth century. The discovery
was made OF thin copper lapel button
about the size of a half dollar. with the
letters &c. w" in the centre, AMI in n
semi-circle near the rim the words. Long
Live the President. y I. r. Marvin, Of
Federal Street, an expert numismatist.
gave the following account of the button:
cit was the custom at the close OF the
eighteenth century," said he, and during
the Presidency of Washington, for men to
wear very large buttons on their outer
garments, and this particular obJect-so
far as 1t can be described without seeing
it-must have been one of those large coat
buttons made especially during the Presi-
dency of George Washington The de-
scription says /; is OF copper, but the cop

Mr.. Marvin added that some fifty or
sixty years ago he remembered such but
tons being cut from coats preserved from
the Washington period. and used by boys
on the string with which they spun their
tops. From another source 1t was ascer-
tanned that Washington buttons in anoth-
or form were issued on the occasion OF tn,

The air. the grass, the space. the un-
bounded room to move, bewildered them
They walked slowly and with hoofs tap
ping the ground many times before q stel
was attempted. and It was hours and
sometimes days before they gained suf-
ficient confidence to run and tumble and
roll. But when they realized that the
strange surroundings were harmless and
actually enjoyable, they reveled in their
new-found freedom. heehawed, kicked up
their heels, and gamboled very much in
the manner of the schoolboy set free after
a long and arduous school term.
The grass was the greatest mystery to
them. Instinct doubtless told them il was
good to eat, 1t smeiied inviting. but It was
go strange so new that II was long before
they gained courage to nibble and to
eat 1t.
Air and light made many of the mules
study for hours before they knew that the
novel world into which they had been
raised was not a thing of mystery. and
that they felt better by breathing and
could see better after the novelty had
worn off than they ever could see in the
dark and narrow passages of the mines.
The extent of the fields too, was a
source Of great wonderment to them
Here they did not knock their heads
against the roof. for there was no roof;
nor Craze their sides against the rib, for
there was no rib; only space above and
about them, unlimited, incomprehensible
space. a new, strange thing. with which
most of them had to get acquainted by
degrees.
Those who had enjoyed the freedom for
a day. as they met the newcomers, bump
ed into them, to see them lose their bal
ance on the yielding ground. rolled under
their noses. kicked up their heels, and
played with them much as a boy swim
mer will play with a younger one.
In the days which the strike lasted most
of the mules experienced new sensations
which they may never repeat. for they
were hustled after their brief freedom
down into the dark depths and narrow
iron-paved passages where their only light
is the faint Kicker of the miners lamp,
their air the gas and smoke-stained heavi-
ness of the mine, their food the hay and
oats and much which tastes little like the
green, fresh grass, and their gamboling
confined to the narrow space OF a five
foot stall.-Phladeiphia Press.

MINE MULES WERE DAZED.
Puzzled by Bright Daylight when
brought Above Ground.

At the time of the recent strike Of the
mine firemen in the anthracite coal fields
hundreds of mules from the various mines
were brought to the surface. Most of the
animals had not seen daylight for many
years. and some of them had quite for
gotten ali they ever knew about pure air,
green grass, and blue sky.
1t was a pathetic as-Yell as an amusing
sight to see these animals turned loose to
Craze in the fields. The daylight dazed
them, and 1t was with difficulty that they
could be forced from the cage and driven
to the fields. and there their antics were
pitifully humorous. Crowds lined the
fences each day.
The mules, free from the driver and the
whip. stood for a long time seemingly
afraid TO move. To them the soft springy
ground. so different from the ties and rails
and rocks of the mines, was insecure.

AUTHORIZED TO BORROW.
school Board Orders a Loan of $4,000 to
Pay tra Bills of the Schools.

The Board of Education met in reg
ular session at the city hall Tuesday
evening, but the meeting was a short
and uninteresting one, the only matter
of interest being the fact that the
President of the Board and the Super
intendent were authorized to borrow
IS, 900 to pay the running expenses OF
the schools for the remainder of the
year. This amount is thought to be
sufficient to cover any deficiency that
may arise. se
There was the usual number of dis
cussions in regard to the new building
and it was decided to change the'fac-
ing brick to be used. The Board left
this matter to the committee on build
ings and grounds, and the brick will
be better than Kenosha brick, but will
not cost to exceed SIS thousand.
At the request of State Superintend-
ent Harvey, the teachers of the High
School were given a holiday on Dec.
9TH, to attend the institute which the
State Superintendent will hold i'll Ra-
cine at that time. At the request of
Mr.. Harvey some changes will be
made in the course of study prescribed
for the High School.
The study Of algebra will be reduced
to one year with the option of another
term in the senior year, and some 9TH
er study will be substituted in place of
the algebra course eliminated. The
Superintendent also suggested that
word analysis be dropped, but it is
proba bic that unless some better SUBJ
ject can be found this subject will be
retained.

retained

Manager Jos. G. Rhode announces
that he has just completed arrange
ments with the moving picture COM
pany, operating the picture machine,
the Kinodrome, for an appearance in
this city Sunday night to reproduce all
the scenes and incidents concerning
President Mckinley at the Pan-Amer-
lean Exposition and a complete series
of the funeral ceremonies at Buffalo,
Washington and Canton, as secured by
the Kinodrome cameras incidental to
these events. The Kinodrome was at
work at the Pan-American Exposition
during President MoKin1ey's entire
visit. They were fortunate to have
camera in position while President
Mckinley was making his speech at
the Pan-American Exposition on
Thursday, Sept. S, 1901, and thus Sc
cured picture of our Executive while
making his last speech before the cow
ard1y assault upon his life. On Fri
day, Sept. 6, 1901, the cameras were
also in position to photograph the
President as he left the Temple Of
Music, but the deplorable assassina-
ton, of course, prevented the getting
of this picture. They did, however,
secure an excellent panoramic view of
the mob surging in front of the Tenn
pie of Music attempting to get at the
assassin. These pictures have created
intense excitement and interest, and,
together with the scenes photograp pied
subsequently,, of the funeral cere-
| monies at Buffalo, Washington and
| Cant ton, which are complete in every
detail, and now being exhibited by the
Kinodrome in all the leading vaude-
vile theatres in the country, are of
tremendous interest to the people.
Recognizing the eager desire of
those who are unable to go to the city
theatres 10 witness these interesting
scenes, The Kinodrome Company have
arranged to put an exhibition, in the
most complete manner, on tour. In
connection with the President McKin-
ley pictures, the Kinodrome will offer
moving pictures of the great inter
national yacht race, showing start and
finish of Colum bia-Shamrock gcentest,
and also, all of the latest and most
startling animated pictures known in
motion photography.

WILLARD, KY.-The news of the
recovery of Mrs. Elizabeth Prater is a
very striking instance of the wonderful
curative powers of Peruna. This esti-
mable lady had been an invalid from
catarrh of the stomach and bowels for
twenty years. No wonder her many
friends are enthusiastic over her recov-
cry. She writes: "It is through the
mercies of God and your medicine that I
am permitted to write you this letter. I
have been constant sufferer from
bowel and stomach trouble for about
twenty-five years, and could never find
relief until began the use of Peruna. I
think it is God-send to poor suffering
humanity. Mrs. Elizabeth Prater.

LIEUTENANT GENERAL MILES, in his
annual report, expresses the opinion
that the new anti-canteen law is work
ing for the good of the army and urges
that it be given further trial. While
the opinion of the commanding officer
of the army will have great weight
with Congress, it should be remem-
bered that he is no longer in constan
contact with the soldiers themselves,
and from his Washington headquar-
tiers is hardly in position to judge of
the conditions existing at the remote
posts. At least ninety per cent of the
officers of the junior grades of the
army, those who are brought into daily
and hourly contact with the soldiers,
and who have had better opportunity
to observe the effect of the law than
the general officers stationed in Wash
ington, are in favor of the re-esta b1ish-
ment of the canteen system at the
posts. No doubt all the officers of the
army would infinitely prefer to COM
mand total abstainers, but since this
is impossible, it is better that the SOL
dier should do his drinking in clean.
decently kept canteen, under the direct
supervision of his officers, than in the
brothels and whisky dens now estab-
1ished just off the reservations.

MANY FORBIDDEN WARES SOLD.
Recent Cheese Poisoning Case Causes a
General Investigation of the Food
Products Sold in Kenosha.

On account of the recent ptoma1ne
poison cases in Brassvil1e the atten-
ZION of the State pure food officers has
been called to Kenosha and it is re-
ported that within a few days there
will be general examination of the
stores of the city for impure food pro-
ducts.
Two years ago the food commission
ers made a descent on kenoshd and
several well known grocers were ar
rested on charges of selling impure
foods and foods not bearing the proper
labels. The foods under the ban con-
sist of baking powders, different sorts
of imitation buffers and all sorts of
canned meats and canned fruits which
are alleged to have been either pre-
pared in an unsanitary manner or to
have been manufactured from other
than the pure fruit and not labeled &C
cordingly.
The city health officer has acted
promptly in all matters where the sale
of impure food products has been re-
ported to him but in, many cases these
reports have been of an indefinite
manner and it has been deemed advis-
able to turn the matter over to the
State officials whoIare in the habit OF
making trip to each city in the State
during the year. When it d,Ebeen
discovered that number of people had
suffered ptomaine poisoning from eat
ing tainted cheese the health officer at
once stopped the sale of the cheese and
an examination of .0the article 0was
made. It was found by this examina-
ton that only portion of the cheese
contained the deadly ptomaine germs,
while the remainder of the cheese was
perfectly pure and wholesome.
For this reason the blame cannot be
laid at the door of thess1ocal dealer. but
rather on the creamery which placed
such a food product on the market. 1t
is we'll known fact that the pure food
law has been violated in this as in
many other cities, but little action is
taken until some formal complaint is
made against the dealer in question.
The coming of the State officials
will cause some little stir among the
dealers and it is probable that the ar
ticles which are under the ban will be
safely slowed away in the cellar and
attic before the officer has chance to
confscate the goods and order the ar
rest of the grocer handling them.

THURSDAY, NOV. IA 1901.

ACCORDING to the Constantinople
correspondents of the Paris papers the
complete back down of the Sultan to
the French fleet was not made until
after an appeal to Great Britain to
preserve the integrity of the Turkish
possessions had been refused. The
fr eaty under which the Sultan de-
manded aid of Great Britain was made
in 1873 and was an offensive and de-
fensive alliance between the two pow
ers directed against Russia.
After the ratification of the treaty OF
Berlin in the same year, which defined
the relation of the great powers to
Turkey, England published the terms
of her secret treaty with the Sultan.
Under it's terms, if Russia should at
any time attempt to seize and hold any
of the Asiatic territories of the Sultan,
England pledged herself to help de-
fend them by force of arms. In re-
turn for this Turkey ceded the island
of Cyprus to England, Sin order to en-
able England to make necessary pro-
vision for executing her engagement. >
But the Sultan made another pledge
which he did not fulfill and which is
set out in the treaty as follows:
SIN return, his Imperial Majesty, the
Sultan, promises to England to intro
duce necessary reforms, to be agreed
upon later between the two powers,
into the government, and for the pro-
lection of the Christian and other sub
iects of the Porte in these territories"
Since the date of the treaty thous-
ands of Christians have been slaugh
tered by Turkish soldiers certainly
with the consent of the Sultan if not
by his orders. Under the conditions it
is difficult to see where the British
government owes him any protection
under the treaty, even if they were in
cliued' to construe the treaty as apply
ing against any of the powers instead
of Russia alone. England is too fully
occupied in South Africa al present to
desire any complications with first
class power such as France. If the
ransom demanded by the Turkish bril-
gands for the release of Miss Stone,
the missionary, is paid, as now seems
probable, the United States govern
ment will have a claim against the
Sultan which it may be necessary to
collect by force. The attitude of
Great Britain in the French affair
foreshadows her course in case the
United States should find it necessary
to send fleet to enforce the payment
of the claims against Turkey.

It is in this manner that Peruna
