Blaine's Wonderful Memory.

Speaker Henderson told a Washing
ton Post reporter a good story of one
of his initial experiences among public
men in Washington. 1t was before he
had been elected to Congress, probably
twenty-five years ago.
Blaine was then Speaker. Naturally
he was one of the statesmen that Cen
eral Henderson much desired to meet,
and the opportunity came of morning,
just as the Speaker was passing
through the lobby on his way to the
marble rostrum. The formal greetings
were exchanged in brief moment. and
General Henderson was left to see the
swinging doors close on the form of
the Republican leader.
Six years later General Henderson
again came to Washington, this time to
get Iowa divided into two judicial dis
tricts. He put up at Wormley's, where
Blaine also lived, it being in those days
a fashionable and 1ourishing hostelry.
A week or so after his arrival from
Iowa, as General Henderson was enter
ing the dining-room, he met Blaine,
after having passed and repassed him
many times. The Maine man grasped
him cordially by the hand, called him
by name and inquired about Iowa,
II had heard of Speaker Blaine's won
derful faculty for remembering Names"
says General Henderson. when had
seated myself at the table l beckoned
to the head waiter.
Hasn't Mr.. Blaine asked you my
name?" l said to him. Now think hard
and be sure of your answer
Yes, sah,' replied the waiter. He

produced by the oriental nargile. The
tobacco used with it is of a rich red

very pretty ornaments for a mantel or

There are now about forty presbyteries

inevitable.
Two churches near Clarinda. Iowa. are

will Of the late David Remick. one Of the
founders of the town, who died IN Los An

Church was bequeathed eighty acres Of
land, and the United Presbyterian
Church twenty-six acres, with eighteen
lots in the town.

FORMALLY VOTES NO.
>UBAN CONVENTION REJECTS
PLATT AMENDMENT.
Votes in Same Motion to Send a Com
mission to WashingtOn-Acts of Lo-
cal Government in Havana Promote
Discomfort and Eistrust.

The constitutional convention in Ha-
vana, Cuba, on Friday voted on a COM
bination proposition TO send a commission
to Washington, after categorical reJec7
ton of the Plat amendment. The vote
was divided on the motion in this form,
some believing that a commission would
be necessary after fat rejection OF the
Platt amendment.
The motion was carried, IS to 10, some
members voting against it who are known
to be opposed to the Platt amendment
proposition.
Beyond a doubt the last few days have
shown the development of a feeling of
discomfort and resentment in Havana.
This is due to various causes more or less
directly connected with the method of
handling the political situation, especial
" the arrogation of interference with the
judicial authority.
This has been illustrated in the case of
the suppression of a newspaper, in the
matter of the gas company, in the arbi-
trary Imprisonment of members of the
staff of a labor union paper, called
L'Estivador, without trial, and in the
position of the military government in
the matter of the choice of a Mayor of
Havana.
There is also a growing feeling among
all classes, due to Washington cable
grams asserting that sovereignty will be
assumed by America in case the Platt
amendment is not accepted, of distrust of
the local administration, extending to
Washington and the American people, be-
cause it is feared that these local acts,
which seem to form part of plan to
compel the acceptance of the Platt
plan, are receiving the support of the
American people.
The situation is beginning TO present
rather serious features, even among the
conservative classes, many of whom now
support the convention in opposition to
the Platt amendment. Reliable private
sources of information in Santiago prov
ince report that secret preparations are
being made for a forcible resistance to
the imposition of the Platt amendment.

PRESIDENT OF GREAT STEEL COMBINE.

s. week to the presidency of the
greatest steel-manufacturipg concern

leled in the business world and about

He fancied engineering and took a
scientific course. At the age of Is he
left the institution to make his living
and came to Braddock. where some
friends from Loretto had located. He
obtained employment in Dinkey's gen
eral store, which was not far from
the Carnegie steel works.
Past the store on his way TO and
from the mills came Capt. William r.
Jones, at the time general manager of
the works. He stopped in the store to
buy tobacco and noticed young Schwab.

quaintance with Capt. Jones and the
latter offered him position.
In 1881 Schwab was made chief engi-
neer and assistant manager of the
Braddock furnaces and steel works.
and held the place until 1887, when he

GEN. DE WOGACK, MASTER OF
RUSSIAN FORCES AT TFEN-TSEN.

As commander of the Russian forces
at Tien-tsin Gen. De Wogack is the i'm
strument of the Cars military power in
the present world crisis. He has spent.
many years in the Orient, and is one OF
the most trustworthy servants of his
monarch. For upwards of ten years he
has watched over Russia's interests in
China.
His character is described as that OF
a man who knows where he desires to
get to and how he can best encompass
his wish. Difficulties are welcomed by
him because they only go to show his
superior power of resource. No European
soldier now in China is Wogack's peer
in knowledge of the country and its peo-
pie, and none is more brave. more cum
ming, more determined or more devoted
heart and soul, to the master he serves.

with coin which he deposits in the
Syracuse banks, having a large ac-
count with three of them. He claims
TO live in -Four Corners" Canada, and
all the money he deposits is Canadian,
so that he is apparently telling the
truth. He dresses like a tramp, his
ragged overcoat being pinned together
ay1he top with safety pin and his
trsusers fastened at the sides with
twine. On his feet he wears felt boots
rrmounted with heavy felt boot legs.
He talks to nobody in Syracuse except
the bank officials, and after completing
his business disappears as mysterious
ly as he comes, not to be seen again for
another year.

REUSED BY MANY ROBsERIES.
Government Urges Postmasters to
Take Better Care of Eunds.


Take Better Care of Funds.
The POstotfice Department, reused by
numerous robberies throughout the coua-
try, notably that of 81, 900 in bills at Chi
cago recently, has issued the following
general instructions to postmasters re
garding the care of government funds
and stamp supplies:
Postmasters are required to exercise the
greatest care and give the best possible pro-
lection to Government funds and stamp sup
plies in their custody. during business hours
money, postage stamps, etc, must be Kept
so as to be inaccessible to the public anu
concealed from view If the postotlice, when
unoccuped, is not such a safe place as to
warrant the postmaster in leaving his per
sonal funds therein all Government moneys,
postage stamps etc, must be removed there
from to a place of the greatest possible
safety.
The law provides that a postmaster may
deposit his funds in national bank il there
be one in his town, city or county. If, how
ever, there be no national bank so located
and a private bank be accessible there will
he no objection to n postmaster placing his
Government funds, postage stamps, etc,
therein, provided that they be placed in
private receptacle as his official property
and subject 10 his exclusive control, and that
this be done at his own risk and expense.

Boy Never FIinched.

Otto KlOehn, a young lad working as
back tender at the Thilmany paper mills
at Kaukauna, got his hand caught be-
tween the calendars. crushing the bones
of two fingers and completely stripping
the flesh and skin from the hand as far
as the wrist. The cuticle was found
hanging to his finger tips. DR. Titus, the
physician, fixed UP the two broken fin
gers and drew the abraded skin on to the
hand something after the manner of a
glove, closing the wound with fortyfve
stitches. The little fellow stood the pain
full operation without ahaesthetics and
never once flinched.
