In conversation with Mr.. Ellery
P. Ingham the other day he relat-
ed an anecdote which we thought
worthy of preservation. 1t is this:
Some years ago Mr.. Ingham was at
the War Department at Washing
ton in connection with official bust
ness; one Of the chiefs of bureau
took him over his department and
showed the very complete system
of filing in vogue. He said they
had complete record of every
soldier who fought for the Union
in the war of the Rebellion, and by
giving the number of the Regiment
the record could be produced in a
few moments. To test it he asked
Mr.. Ingham to give him a name.
Mr.. Ingham said, ''find me the
name of Joseph c. Pennington, K.
Co. 141st P. "" In q moment
the record was produced, and as
the Chief looked over it, he ex-
claimed: "This is one OF the most
remarkable records I have ever
seen in this department. l do not
know of any that excel it, and very
few indeed can equal it. 1t is a
record of a splendid soldier" The
record showed that Mr.. Pennington
had been engaged in every hard
battle the Army of the Potomac
had fought, including Fredericks-
burg, Charlottesville, Gettysburg,
Mine Run, Antietam, ,Spottsylvania,
Cold Harbor, Petersburg and
Appomattox; that he had never
been wounded nor spent day in
the hospital and had reported every
day at roll during a period Of over
four years except one furlough of
less than thirty days. That was q
record to be proud of.

that they are cut out by their friends
with big pearls. AS it is, nine-tenths of
the pearls that these ladies display on
their person in necklace and ropes are
sham. No one without touching them
can tell the difference between real and
false, even then if requires somewhat
of an expert to decide.
Pearls are not much prettier than
beads-the main difference between
them is intrinsic value, and if the
possibility of knowing the difference
disappears, the only ground for wearing
real pearls disappears. The million
aires will advertise their wealth by
hanging something round their wives
neck, the vaule of which can be more
easily estimated Pearls will cease to
be the fashion and revert to their form
err price. Had I pearls I should sell
them on the pearl boom rather than
speculate in buying them for further
rise. The sham will destroy the real
in the long run, and, before long, it will
be deemed as vulgar to wear ropes and
necklaces of pearls at it would be to

Collision at Corner Chapel and Orange
Streets Last Night.
The prompt applying of the brake on
Fair Haven and Westville car last
night and the presence of mind of the
motorman in charge narrowly averted
what might have been a very serious
accident at the corner of Chapel and
Orange streets last night. AS it was
this car struck the platform Of the Or
ange street stage and tore 1t completely
away and otherwise damaged the We
hicle. The stage had just left thesc cor
ner of Church and Chapel streets on
It's s o'clock trip and was turning from
Chapel into Orange street when one OF
the Fair Haven cars came down Chapel
street at the usual speed, and the
two collided, with the above result.
The driver of the stage was so much
interested in getting the people ahead
of him out of the way that he didn't
notice the approach of the car nor heed
the warning bell and turned off direct
| ly in front of the car.
| There were three young men on the
platform of the stage just previous to
the time it was struck and they dis
appeared from view completely. The
motorman of the car was sure that the
men had been thrown under the car
and made quick search only to find
that his fears were unfounded. The
occurrence created considerable excite
ment among the holiday shoppers. The
damage to the stage will be about SIS

This is the season of the year when
The prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
the results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as soon as the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become set
tied in the system. In almost every
instance a severe cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as soon
as the first indication of the cold ap-
pears. There is no danger in giving it
to children for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take-both
adults and children like it. Buy it and
you will get the best, 1t always cures.

showed me a necklace cost 228,OOO, adm
the pearls did not seem to me to be large
and another which cost $4,000, the

contended that it was a good specula-

cause they were sure to go up in price.

price the smaller the number of people
