 Headed a Southern Regiment.
 About this time the war began, and on account of Von Larisch's knowledge of military affairs he was made com mander of the Louisiana Tigers" a crack Southern regiment. He was several times wounded, and at length came to New York, where he estab- lished his watch-repairing business and has worked at his trade ever since.
 A World reporter found Count von Larisch at his store yesterday. He is known there as Edmund Heinecke, and he was repairing watch when the reporter called.
 "Yes, I am going back, and yet I am sorry to leave this country" he said. "As soon as I get my money l am coming back here, and all my friends will have a great time at my expense. I will remain here for a short time after that, when I will re. turn to my estates In Germany and spend the remainder of my days there"

ONLY ONE VETERAN or 1912.
Hiram cronk of Herkimer County, N.
 Y., Is the Last Pensioner.

Only one male pensioner of the war of 1872 is on the rolls.
 Born In 1900, he has lived through the entire nineteenth century. This wonder full old soldier is Hiram Cronk, of Herki- mer county N. Y. He enlisted in 1874 in the mass militia" and served with dis tinction throughout the war.
 At the age of 101 years Mr Cronk is still hale and hearty and, all things con- siedred, remarkably active. He lives within a short distance of his birthplace. Except for his absence during the war he has seldom left the vicinity.
 Cronk's family Is locally famous for longevity. Four brothers and sister lived to be over 90 years old, and one to the age of 98 A family reunion was held on Hiram Cronk's tooth birthday. It was attended by over one hundred descendants and relatives.
 The veteran is lifelong Democrat. He cast his first vote for Andrew Jatkson and his last for Grover Cleveland. When asked why he has not since voted the old gentleman remarks good-naturedly "When I got down to Grover I calculated 1t was time to quit and call 1t hall day.
 From a very early age Cronk has beer an habitual user of tobacco. He botf chews and smokes. Recently he has threatened to break the habit. He 1 afraid, he says, that the use of the weed may become habit with him. He has drunk strong liquor throughout his life, but always In moderation.
 The veteran has every attention and bids fair to live for some time yet. He makes his home with his youngest daugh- ter. a mere chit of girl of 80

CARNEGIE WOULD 0 BE AN AMBASSADOR
WhiteIaw Reid Has First Call, Buff Secretary Hay Resigns
 :. Al Will, Be Paeified K

. Washington, April 13e-kndrew Car negie desires to be the special am bassador of President Mckinley at the coronation of King Edward VII, and Senator Allison of Iowa is said to be pressing this appointment upon the President. It has been generally un- derstood that WhiteIaw Reid would receive this appointment. He repre- scented the President at the Queens jubilee in 1927 and he expected to- be appointed ambassador to England to succeed Mr Choate, but MT. Choate declined .thBS faVitation toSA seat in the Cabinet. Some of MT. Reids friends insist that he is to go into the Cabinet, succeeding John Hay as Sec. retary of State, but If MT. Hay con cludes to remain MT. Reid will be again sent to London as the Presi- dents special ambassador.
 Senator Allison has great influence at the White House, and MT. Carnegie Is an old friend of President Mckinley While he was opposed to the Presi- dents policy in the Philippines and has been one of the most earnest anti imperialists, he afd the President have remained personal friends, and he has called at the White Housep when in Washington. MT. Carnegie would like such an appointment, as one who came to this country from British territory a poor immigrant in his youth, he would like to be able to represent the President of the United States at the coronation of England's King.
 If he can dispose of MT. Reid in some other way the President will probably appoint Carnegie for this honorary assignment, but he must take care of Reid, whatever else is done.

Fiqhtinq With Electricity.
Engineering News.

From the Engineering News.
 Electricity as weapon in a railway war was tried in Edgewater, N. J., last week. The borough authorities sent force of men to tear up track laid a few days previously by a railway company across the River Road, near the Fort Lee ferry. house. The borough council de- clared the track to be illegally laid, but when the street commissioners force started to rip up the rails lineman em- ployed by the, railway company threw a coil of wire across the overhead trolley wire and connected the ends with the rails in dispute. The result was that four laborers who were saving at the rails were hurled several feet by the electric current and the borough men were forced to stop work. The lineman was finally arrested, and after the wires were dis connected the rail-lifting was resumed and the track was removed after some other demonstrations by the railway men.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
 The independence and 'go-aheadative- ness" of women seem to coexist with a general high standard of intelligence, for statistics show that Washington is third on the list of States in freedom from illiteracy, being surpassed by Iowa and Nebraska only In fact, the Pacific coast ranks very high in averag education and intelligence, though there is not of course so much of the high culture as in some circles of older communities.

KNIFE USED ON RATES,
Great Northern Makes a Cut to the
Coast,

For the Epworth League convention
at San Francisco, July 10 and 81, the
transcontinental lines from Omaha
and Kansas City have named rate
of $45 to San Francisco and return.
The Great Northern now makes the
announcement that, in order to main
tain it's well-defined policy to protect
North Pacific coast points and to al
ways give them the same advantages
as regards rates as are enjoyed by
San Francisco, it will apply the San
Francisco rates for the Epworth
League convention to all North Pa
cific coast points.
Consequently from July to 10, in
elusive the Great Northern will sell
tickets from st. Paul, Minneapolis, Du-
luth and Sioux City to Portland, Seat
tie, Tacoma and Victoria and Vancou-
yer and return for $45. Tickets are
first class, good for stop over west of
Havre, and are good for return any
time before Aug. 81.
The rate from Chicago will probably
be only $50 for the round trip.
The above rate is undoubtedly the
cheapest first-class round trip rate
ever quoted to North Pacific coast
points and thousands of people from
the eastern and middle states will
take advantage of the liberal policy of
the Great Northern. The regular
one-way rate to above points from st.
Paul is $50.
