Lived One Hundred and Eleven Years.

A representative of the LEDGER ex-
amined r. L. Mann's cabinet of curios
one day this week, in which he found
many rare and valuable specimens
Mr.. Mann has souvenirs from various
parts of the world, including Alaska,
the Philippines, Mexico, etc. Among
the relics, the LEDGER man found a
copy of the Gonzales Tribune, II. r.
Farley editor, dated some years ago,
in which is an extremely interesting
account of the remarkable career of
Christopher Mann, grandfather of r.
L. Mann.
We take few extracts from the ac-
count as follows:
1.-THE death of the remarkable old
man calls to mind many incidents in
the history of life that had its begin
ming before the birth of the republic.
He was born in Virginia, Septem Der
10. 1774. Two years later his father
moved to Kentucky, and in 1898, at
the age OF "a, Christopher removed to
Ohio, where he afterward married
Miss Bessie Lusk. Leaving Ohio, he
moved to Indiana, and in 1888 went to
Missouri, settling in Jasper county
where he resided up to the time of his
death, at the age of one hundred and
eleven years.
He was twice married, seventeen
children resulting from the first mar
riage and nine from the second. His
lineal descendants include fifteen living
children, forty-two grand children,
eleven great-grand-chi six great
great-grand-chi and one great
great-great grand child.
Like other centenarians "Uncle
Chris, as he was called, had fund of
interesting anecdotes of the early his
tory of the country and the men who
made its history what it is. His ac-
quaintance included President Harri-
son, Daniel Boone, Dick johnson,
Thomas II. Benton and others of his
toric note.
A circumstance over which Genl.
Harrison had no control prejudiced
Mr.. Mann against the future President,
and although he never liked him he
voted for him, as he did for every
President since John Adams except
two, when he voted for the wrong
men, one of whom was Cleveland.
1t was when he was passing through
Indiana that the incident referred to
occurred. He stopped one night at a
tavern kept by General Harrison. The
house was crowded and he was COM
PEELED to sleep on the floor, for which
accommodation he was charged full
rate. Never since then, he observed,
have liked Bill Harrison. He was a
good fighter though, and he did whip
old Tecumseh powerful bad at the
battle of Tippecanoe.
| Mr.. Mann was a constant user of
tobacco. He had been habituated to
the use of liquor since boyhood, al
though he claimed that he never had
been under its influence. 1t was his
boast that he never had been worsted
in personal encounter, and to Judge
from his appearance as an old man it
was no idle boast.
He was over six feet in height, of a
powerful frame, and retained the use
of his limbs to the last. His eyesight
never became impaired, and he never
knew the need of spectacles. 1t is
probable that there is no one in the
United States whose length of life ex-
ceeds HIS

The Sacramento Street Fair

The Sacramento Street Fair Commit
tee up to this time have not had much
to say concerning the Midway and it's
amusements other than to announce
there would be very full list of attrac-
tions. This year the buildings on the
Midway will be uniform in heighth and
covered with canvass on which will be
painted glowing representation of the
many and varied attractions to be seen
within. The space from L to N streets
on both sides save that occupied by the
Administration Building and the
Queens throne and grandstand, will be
filled with the wonderful, the funny and
the mysterious. Coon Towns 400"
will be one of the more notable aggre-
cations. A very amusing and exagger-
ated reproduction of high life in Black
vile will be presented. The colored
artists will appear in parlor scene and
dressed ''tO the limit" Coon songs,
dancing and real tropical cake-walk
complete the show.
Those who delight in the mysterious,
will find in the "Black Art" booth some
of the most clever illusions ever pre-
sented in Sacramento. Ladies and
gentlemen appear and disappear in the
most wonderful manner and objects
animate and inanimate will do the most
unheard of things.
The Yaqui Indians, thirty in mum Der,
| giving fire dances and other ceremonies
peculiar to their tribe, ought to be a
great drawing card and well worth see
ing.
The miniature railway will be in
structive and entertaining. 1t is COM
posed of an engine, five little cars and
300 feet of track and was manufactured
in Sacramento by the boys in the rail
road shops. 1t works to perfection and
a nominal fare will be charged for ride
the entire length of the line.
Badly Krause will also be much in
evidence. She is a demure and dainty
little demoiselle who weighs about 800
pounds. She will perform fairy dances.
The Oriental Theatre has billed Little
Egypt amOung other attractions and
houri girls, slaves and Turkish beauties
complete the bill.
Sapho, she of the divine kiss, will be
seen in an attractive booth, and readers
OF the novel may see the heroine in real
| life.
A reproduction of the Passion Play
presented at ODER Ammergau last sum-
mer, will give very clear idea of the
acting of the religious peasants who, to
escape the black plague, swore to pre-
sent Christ's life and passion and life in
allegory once every decade.
A booth of Filipino curios, vaude-
Vile theatre, Congress of all Nations,
Egyptian fortune tellers, La Lustra,
the fire dancer; optical illusions and a
magic swing are among the other at
fractions. All these and other amuse-
ments not mentioned will serve to keep
something doing every minute.''
Amador ledger., 1901-04-19

AMONG the numerous suggestions,
some humorous and some serious,
made to the War Department, as to
the disposition of Aguinaldo. is the
following, from a prominent official:
"Have his name changed by law to
George Washington Aguinaldo, then
set aside so square miles of unoccupied
government land as a territory, and
make G. W. Aguinaldo its governor,
on condition that Ex-Governor Bout
well, Edward Atkinson, Erving Wins
low and other anti-imperialist leaders
shall take up quarter sections there.
Then leave them alone to work out
their ideas of government, and the
rest of the American people will find
out how the thing ought to be done. -"

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

In almost every instance the one
man who is neglected and ignored by
the politicians is the country editor
In a majority of cases he cannot get
into a convention whose nominees he
is expected to support. After the con-
vention and all through the campaign,
however, he is sought after. He is ex-
pected to write up the candidates of
his party and write down those of the
opposition. He lis called upon to give
up space which would cost a business
man hundreds of dollars, and then his
bill for printing is the last one paid
and if there is not enough money on
hand to pay it he is expected to stand
the loss and is abused if he objects.
He is newer of wood and drawer of
water-a pack horse for every cheap
skate of politician who poses as the
whole thing at the expense of the edi-
tor. Then when his party triumphs
the country editor can stand on the
sidewalk in his last years clothes and
see the procession go by. Illinois

An Exposition Booklet.

Here comes another of the beautiful
booklets from the Bureau of Publicity
Of the Pan-American Exposition,
Buffalo, N. Y. 1t consists of 16 pages
and cover in light green. The unique
feature of it is the miniature reproduce
ton of the famous poster, 1.-THE Spirit
of Niagara, which has had most re-
markable demand. The envelope in
which the poster booklet is mailed also
bears reproduction of this artistic
work. The booklet is popular picture
book, the first page having an engrav-
ing of the magnificent Electric Tower,
which is 391 feet high, and which will
form the glorious center-piece of the
great Exposition. On the same page
is miniature of one of the torch bear
ers which will adorn the wings of the
Electric Tower, and beside it a picture
of Niagara Falls. The second page
shows picture of the Electricity Build

the uses of electricity. The third page
shows the splendid group of buildings

great extent of the enterprise upon
which about $1,000, 600 is being ex-
pended. The grounds contain $50
acres, being half a mile wide, and a
mile and quarter long. Other pages
show horticulture, graphic arts and
mines, manufactures and liberal arts,
the Music Temple, the Plaza and it's
beautiful surroundings, the Stadium Or

United States as long as he is considered
a prisoner, and how long he will be con-
sidered prisoner will depend upon how
he conducts himself, and upon how
those who have been his followers con-

must live up to the oath of allegiance
