From Staff Correspondent.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 10.-General
Sickles denies that he is a candidate for
commander-in-chief of the G. A. r. and
says he has not asked any one to vote for
him for that position; this, notwithstand
ing his friends are busy here promoting
his candidacy and claim that he will be
elected on the first ballot. Sickles
made his disclaimer in the rotunda of the
Hollanden house where he was the center
of an admiring group Of veterans last
night.

"WeH, there are only two that know of
Stewart Of Pennsylvania and Torrance
of Minnesota"
Have you any preference as between
them?"
"None. Torrance has a better war
record than Stewart, but Stewart has Civ
en- much of his time for twenty years to
promoting Grand Army interests. Both
are good men,
General Sickles' disavowal Of his candi-
dacy should not be taken too seriously.
Should it ultimately develop that he
cannot win, 1t may serve to- break the
force of his fall and perhaps that is why
he has made it.
AS delegates in large numbers arrive,
it becomes more difaeql& to foEscast the
outcome. Sickles has a considerable num-
Der of votes pledged. Stewart probably
has as many as Sickles and Torrance
combined, but the three candidates do
not as yet control a majority Of the en-
campment. A majority Of delegates are
unpledged and the work to be done to-day

pension attorneys, which is so strongly
opposed to the policy of Commissioner
Evans. These attorneys are said to be-

his increased influence in such way as to
insure Evans removal. 1t might make
difference with the president If he knew
that anti-Evans men were strong enough
to control the encampment and shape
Grand Army official sentiment.
Despite the optimistic views of the
Sickles men, the Minnesota delegates still
believe that Stewart is the man they
must look out for. The Stewart mana
gers do not like Sickles and it is just
possible that if there should be likeli-
hood of Sickles winning. Torrance and
Stewart will unite. This would be the
logical program, as both are opposed to

QUAINT COLONIAL NAMES.
How the Offspring of Our First Colo
nistn Were Christened.

How the Offspring of Our First Colo
nists Were Christened.
It is an interesting study to trace the
underlying reason for many of the Gu
rious names which are given to the off
spring of the first colonists. Parents
searched for names of deep signifi-
cance-for names appropriate to con-
ditions, for those of profound infu-
ence presumably on the child's life.
The Rev. Richard Buck, one of the
early parsons in Virginia, in days of
deep depression, named his first child
Mara. This text indicates the reason
for his choice: Call me Mara, for the
Almighty has dealt very bitterly with
mt. l went out full, and the Lord has
bbught me home empty" His second
child was christened Gershom - for
Misses wife bare him son and called
hisname Gershom, for he said have
Ut@f7in a strange land"
Many names have pathos and sad
mess which can be felt down through
the centuries. Dame Dinely, widow of
doctor, or barber surgeon, who had
died in the snow while striving to visit
distant patient, named her poor babe
Fathergone.
The children of Roger Clapp were
named Experience, Waitstill, Preserv-
ed, Hopestill, Wait, Thanks, Decide,
Unite and Supply. Madam Austin, an
early settler of old Narragansett, had
1 1Infl TTI.
Pieus, Piersus, Prisemus, Polybius,
Lois, Lettuce, Avis, Anstice, Eunice,

French Bakers,

Bakers in France are subject to re-
stric'ions and regulations undreamed
OF IN England. In the fortified towns
along the frontier they are bound by
law 10 have a certain stock of -four al
Wayi on hand in case of emergencies.
The bakery not only has to be kept
cieal, but the baker has to deposit
with the local authorities a certain
sumof money as surety for the prop
er csnduct CT his business.
Tie law also looks after his weights
and measures, which circumstance
PLACES him in the same position as the
British baker, but in addition the law
regulates the price at which bread can
be sid.
Napoleon III ordered on one occasion
thata loaf about equal to our quartern
should be sold for not more than six
pene, and this at a time when we
wer paying eightpence and ninepence.

Some, statistician, in emulation of
Lombroso perhaps, has been figuring
out the habitual employment of con-
victs. He concludes that more men
and women whose employers are the
national, state or municipal govern
ments fall into evil ways and come to
untoward ends than those who work
for private individuals or corporations.
A very large proportion Of the men and
women who have been handlers of pub
lie moneys seem to yield to the con-
slant temptation and begin to peculate,
'and some cynic AYERS that peculation
is the corollary of speculation. AS a
matter Of fact, most of the big and lit
tie thieves who confess how they were
led to take money that did not belong
to them declare that speculations of
one sort or another brought them
eventually behind the bars.-New York

INDIAN SIGNALS.
The Long Distance Code by Which
the Red Men Converted.

The Long Distance Code by Which
the Red Men COnversed.
The traveller on the plains in the early
days soon learned the significance of
the spires of smoke that he sometimes
saw rising from a distant ridge or hill
and that in turn he might see answer
ed from a different direction. 1t was
the signal talk of the Indians across
miles of Intervening ground, signal
used in rallying the warriors for an at
tack or warning them for a retreat
when that seemed advisable.
The Indian had way of sending up
the smoke in rings or puffs, knowing
that such smoke column would at
once be noticed and understood as
signal and not taken for the smoke of
some campfire. He made the rings by
covering the little fire with his blanket
for a moment and then suddenly re-
moving the blanket and allowing the
smoke to ascend, when he instantly
covered the fire again. The column of
ascending smoke rings said to every
Indian within 80 miles: Look out.
There is an enemy near" Three
smokes built close together meant dan
ger. One smoke merely meant atten-
ton. Two smokes meant Camp at
this place" Travel the plains, and the
usefulness of this long distance tele-
phone will quickly become apparent,
Sometimes at night the settler or
traveller saw fiery lines crossing the
sky, shooting up and falling, perhaps
taking a direction diagonal to the line
of vision. He might guess that these
were the signals of Indians, but unless
he were an old timer he might not be
able to interpret the signals. The old
timer and the squaw man knew that
one fire arrow Ian arrow prepared by
treating the head Of the shaft with
gunpowder and fine bark meant the
same as the column of smoke puffs-
viz, can enemy is near" Two arrows
meant Danger" Three arrows said
imperatively, "This danger is great"
Several arrows said, "The enemy are
too many for u.s." Two arrows shot up
into the air at once meant "We shall
attack" three at once said, eve at.
tack now" An arrow shot off in a
diagonal direction said as plainly as
pointing a finger, "That way" Thus
the untutored savage could telephone
fairly we'll at night as well as in day
tinao
