HE WAS ONE OF THE OLDEST TRAv.
ELING MEN IN THE STATE.
The Deceased Served Two Terms In
the Legislature-The Death
of Mrs. Norwood.

Benjamin F.. Williams, the oldest travel
ing man in the State, died at his home, 210S
North Pennsylvania street, at s o'clock yes
terday evening of heart trouble. Had he
lived until Nov. Is he wOuld have been
seventy-six years old. He retired from
active service as a travelling man about one
year ago, which closed a half century's
career of energetic hustling for various
business houses and his own firm. His ac-
quaintance was wide, particularly in In
diana, as he had travelled over the entire
State with a wagon and four-horse team
before the construction of steam railways

firm was done for several years overland.

years represented his own firm, Williams,
Pea & Stoneman, wholesale notion dealers
on South Meridian street. He was formerly
a member Of the Commercial Travellers
Association and the Odd Fellows.
In 1869 he was elected to the Legislature
on the Republican ticket to represent Union
and Fayette counties, and was reelected
in 1871. He was chairman of the edu-
~cational committee and was the author
of the bill which established the present
school system in Indiana. He was we'll
known among politicians and was a friend
of the late General Harrison. In 1877 ne

General M. 1. Ludington, quarter +

mission of the quartermaster general !
is personal inspection of the army |
posts in the archipelago, gaining an
acquaintance with the needs of the men
in the field, and seeing the conditions
which must be met by his department
General Ludington is accompanied only
by Mrs. Ludington and a stenographer,
as there are officers of his department
in the Philippines who VIII selN as
his staff when he reaches his destina-
ton.
Il have been very much pleased with
what l have seen in the few hours /
have been here" said General Luding-
ton, last evening. Il went at once
with Major Robinson to inspect his
storehouse, the coal piles and the cor
rails, and shall in the morning visit the
reservation and post. 1t is the policy
of the government always to have its
post upon it's own grounds, and that
course in all probability VIII be fol-
lowed here soon. 1t was the plan to
have a post erected here some time
ago. General Shafter said he would
come down and make an inspection.
but he never made the trip and so
nothing was done.
The transport service in the Pacific
will lose the Buford and Fitzpatrick, as
those vessels will be sent from Manila
to New York, a course adopted upon
the repeated requests of the New York
merchants. 1t will be the plan in the
future to send most of the ships direct
to Manila from San Francisco, using
the shorter, great circle. route, effect
ing saving in time and expense. Gen
orally speaking, the vessels will stop
here only in the case of necessity as
at present, or when there are paSsen-
gers or freight for this port. The re-
suit will be that there will be quicker
trips and less coal burned. The taking
away of these two ships will mean lit
tie, as they have made few trips in the
trade. =.

New York Evening sun.
On this point of simplicity there are
some interesting facts to notice. One
of the first and most direct results, from
the attention that has within the past few
years been paid to cookery as a science,
has been widespread desire to multiply
courses, viands and flavors. The mex
perienced young housekeeper has felt that
she must have course dinners or die and
her one maid-of-all-w has inevitably
rebeled against the exactions. There Is
no vulgarity much worse than that of
overcatering. From all this the reaction
has set in and few dishes, we'll chosen and
carefully prepared. will be found on the
table of the really refined person rather
than the many courses of the long-draWn-
out dinner This means in turn more care
i'm the preparation. for whereas in the
course dinner, the soup being good may be
expected to atone for the fish being poor,
or the roast may apologize for both and
bring the total up TO the mark in the
simpler repast every separate dish must be
able to stand its own merits. With
simpler living, too. that root of most phys
ical ill-being, overeating. will be largely
eliminated. One inevitably eats much
more when the appetite is tricked along by
cunningly arranged courses whose work
il is to tempt.
There is always a pitiable something
about vain attempts at style. The woman
and wilted feather may seem ridiculous,
but TO her that feather means style 1t
is the very same feeling that prompts the
woman some stages farther up i'm the social
scale but of limited means when she at
