A committee Of which eX-President
Cleveland is chairman has issued an APP
peal for memorial to the late William
l.. Wilson, for some time president of
Washington and Lee university. Finding
that there was no chair of economics in
the university, Mr.. Wilson established
and largely supported such a chair out
of his own meagre salary, the funds of
the university not permitting of such eX-
penditure. His friends have therefore
concluded says the committee, that no
more fitting and enduring monument
can be erected to his memory than the
endowment of the chair of economies
which he himself established and for sew
eral years maintained in the university,
to be known as the William l.. Wilson
Chair of Economics: and that the men,

honor it is erected, and that the services

"There have been statements asserting
an old personal friendship between them.

they never met at all. The truth lies be-
tween the two extremes. When Pope Leo
was Monsignor Pecci, and Nuncio at
Brussels at the Court of King Leopold,
widower of the Princess Charlotte, he
met Queen Victoria and her husband. Ac-
cording to some accounts the queen in
vited the NunciO to Windsor. That was
not the case. But the Nuncio came on
his own account to London for the month
of February, 1886. and during his stay he
witnessed a great ceremonial in which
the queen took part, and was invited to
a state reception, but was not specially
presented. The passages of kindness De-

During the early months Of the cam
paign of the civil war his boyish en-
thusiasm was aroused and he entered
the army, enlisting in the Seventy
second Indiana volunteers in 1862. He
became a member of the famous Wild
er brigade, and of his courage General
Wilder said he twice volunteered for
the sl1irmish line work during the bat
tie of Chickamauga, when to do so
seemed to be tempting fate. He was
the first skirmisher OF Sherman's army
to cross the Chattahoochee river,
through which he charged at Roswell,
Ca, at daylight, July 9. 1864. His en-
thusiasm and patriotism are illustrated
by the fact recorded in the history OF
the regiment, that while suffering from
the measles.in 1862 he marched through
two days of incessant rain, and wad-
ed through swollen streams. and also
that during three years service he did
not miss a single march, skirmish or
battle After the close Of the war,
with the little money he had saved, he
entered the old Presbyterian academy

afterward died. Martindae drew the
farmers will and put himself in as
beneficiary and administrator. The

Martindale tried to hasten the death
of Glass before he could make a new
will. Great rejoicing and firing of can
non took place at Martindale's neigh
borhOOd, while Indignation and chagrin

to see that manufacturers adhere to

Cork Tree Renews Its Bark.

The cork tree is an evergreen, an
oak about the size of our apple tree.
and grown largely in Spain Tor com
mercial uses. The bark is stripped in
order to obtain the cork. which IS
soaked and then dried. The moment
the bark is peeled off, the tree begins
TO grow another cork skin, and each
new one is better than the last; so the
older tree the better the cork. The
trees are stripped about every eight
years, and so strong does it make them
that they often live TO the age OF 200
years After the bark is stripped off
it is trimmed and dried and fiattened
out. Then it is packed and shipped
to all parts OF the world.
