and engraving in Washington. D. C..
The portrait OF President McKinley
will appear upon a new postal card.
Ii is not unlikely when another new
design for postal cards shall be adopt
ed and these designs change often
that President Mckinley will take a
place upcn a postage stamp. possibly
superseding Sherman on the eight or
Webster on the ten cent.
A new face will appear upon one
of the stamps that of the late Pres
ident Harrison. In order that there
might be place for his portrait. a
new denomination was created--a
thirteen cent stamp.
There will be practically no demand
for stamp of this value for domes-
tic use, but for foreign use there is a
place for 1t. Thirteen cents is the
cost of sending registered letter
weighing not more than one half
ounce 10 any country within the Pos
tai Union. Heretofore it has been
necessary to use five and eight-cent
stamp. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison shas
been requested to furnish the depart.

Get Out and Ftght-The
Removal ofthe State


Wheeling, Anril Ex-senator Mel

favorably in some parts of the State
for the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. When importuned In other
wears to make the race he declined.
as. in fact, he has declined political
preferment frequently through de

visit manufacturing enterprises. Four
years ago h. positively refused to ac-

ate, and at the beginning of this
year he likewise stated his determine
ton not 10 be candidate to succeed
himself but there are indications
which lead to the conclusion that
again he may be prevailed on To sub
init.
1t is amusing TO note the willing
ness of both the Scott and Schmal-
bach forces TO get out of the Whitaker
chariot's wav and hang on behind.
Ii he wants to go to the Senate again
there is much use for another asplrant

the accepted view, consequently nei
Their side wants to antagonize the Sem
ator, while equally afraid to press
him on his choice for United States
Senator, although both have hopes.
The Gubernatorial boom may,
therefore. find support for several rea-
sons. 1t would help other prospective
State Senators Ill this county if Whit
aker were sIdetracked. But the gen
uine support would far outclinch this
element. Senator Whitaker is win.

the local opposition could virtual y
only come from the Senator Scott

Scott geographically if the Governor

Remarkable Achievements Of q
Tongue.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
One Of the most remarkable invalids in
the world is Miss Tunison, paralytic, who
resides at Sag Sag Harbor, L. l., who is
expecting to visit friends in this city shortly.
She has been helpless since birth, having
only the head and upper shoulder muscles
under control, and SO wonderfully has she
trained them to serve her one remaining
member, the tongue, that it performs with
marvellous quickness and skill the tasks
which feminine fingers alone are wont to
do. At her bidding it traces with pencil
held between the teeth outline sketches OF
flowers and trees; it grasps needle, threads
it and works in and out the fine, delicate
stitches of embroidery inery; it writes let
tiers to her friends, and it guides the mallet
which makes music on her metalaphone.
Miss TuHison' tongue is a very ruly mem
Der, indeed Never having had the use of
her hands, Miss Tunison has thrown her
full dependence upon the tongue, which,
through the loss Of all other members, is
abnormally acute and gifted.
Miss Tunison is bright-faced woman OF
30 All day long she sits strapped in a
wheeled chair specially constructed for her.
A wide board is attached across the front,
something like that of child's high chair.
This is her work table, and on it she has
her boxes of colored crayons, her work
basket, filed with spools of thread, needle
books and endless little odds and ends.
There, too, she has her writing pad and
several inch and-a-half long pencils, sharp
ened by some friendly hand. When only
years old Miss Tunison began to train
her tongue into usefulness. She would
pick up buttons with it from her little table,
and, with a string, also in her mouth, in
some way passes the cord through the eye
let, amusing herself for hours stringing
buttons Later she began to sew.
To see Miss Tunison thread needle pre-
paratory to doing her embroidery makes
one half doubt one eyes First she takes
the little needle book from out her work
basket, laying it before her; then weight,
specially made for her purpose, is taken up
by her teeth and placed upon one-haf of
it to hold it firm while she removes the
needle desired; this done, she sticks it
straight up in the table before her. Then
thread is wound off the required length
and cut by means Of scissors manipulated
in the same marvellous way. Her tongue
takes up the thread, and, through its ex
quisite sense of feeling, passes it through
the eye of the needle in as short time as
the average steady hand and eye require.
The bit of cambria or linen on which she
is to enbroider is taken out and unfolded
in the same way, and the weight placed
upon one corner of it to hold it down while
sewing. Holding the needle with her
tongue, she places it where desired, then
lifts and throws back one corner of the
cloth, SO as to grasp the needle from the
underside and pull it through, making the
stitch complete. This she does over and
over again; tracing and working out the
most delicate designs and nearly always
without an outline, save what comes spon-
taneously to her mind when working
